When he landed on Byron, Ding Meng felt that the Acasina garbage mountain was big enough, but now through Xiaobai's narration along the way, Ding Meng understood the terrifying scale of the garbage mountain.
The Frogman Kingdom has been occupying the Pan Galaxy for two centuries. At first, the large amount of resources hidden in the Wochu Galaxy were discovered by the Frogman Kingdom first. Everyone knows that resources are the first to be found.
People got rich, and the pioneer troops of the Frogman Nation dug up really good things in the initial mining, such as precious reverse source crystals and silver core stones, as well as massive amounts of rare metals.
But at that time, the frog tribe's fifth-generation "reengineering" technology was not mature. Related research and experiments relied heavily on various metal materials, which resulted in great extravagance and waste. The discarded raw materials were scattered on Byron according to the principle of proximity.
area, so Byron's major planets have completely turned into garbage dumps. It is not that tons and tons of dumping are dumped here, but that carrier ships are dumping them one by one. After decades of accumulation, they have formed a series of garbage dumps.
Spectacular mountains of garbage.
Take the Acasina Garbage Mountain on Star 20 as an example. This mountain range actually stretches for 1,500 kilometers. What Din Meng saw on the spacecraft was just the tip of the iceberg. This scale is many times larger than that of the Black Gold Base. This mountain range
A total of 160,000 Steelmane villains and imperial prisoners of war were exiled there, of which the Steelmanes accounted for the vast majority.
The reason is simply that the Steel Mane Empire is unwilling to invest normal manpower and material resources here. Although there are still treasures to dig in the garbage mountain, after all, the garbage dumped by the Frogman Kingdom must have expensive gadgets, so this place gradually
It became a contracted concentration camp.
This garbage mountain is different from the underground mining area of the Black Gold Base. The workers in the Black Gold Base are digging indiscriminately. After all, it is a Kunpeng starship, with the hull as a support. The entire mining area will not collapse no matter how you toss it.
Yes, but the garbage mountain cannot be like this
After digging, there is a clear plan for the center of the base, which is to use the divided area as a unit and adopt an "inverted triangle" method to advance downwards. To put it bluntly, the top is dug very wide, and the further down, the narrower it becomes.
This ensures that collapse does not occur.
After entering the garbage mountain, it felt like entering the interior of a very ancient starship. There were artificially excavated passages and halls everywhere. The routes extending in all directions were extremely complicated, and along the way, Dinmen also noticed many Steel Manes and human soldiers.
They all travel in groups. Most of the steel-maned people are thin and short, just like humans. They carry sledgehammers, saws and other things together and talk and laugh. That is to say, in this unique place, human beings
Only then can we live in peace with the Steelmane tribe.
Of course, peaceful coexistence is only relative. As a veteran who has been in many mining areas, Ding Meng is well aware of the unspoken rules of mining areas. How could such a huge garbage mountain not form a tyrannical underground force over the long years?
Xiaobai was obviously very familiar with the route of the garbage mountain. He took Ding Meng around and around, walking and taking the elevator, entering from the middle of the mountain, and walked down for more than 200 kilometers before arriving at a cave.
This cave is a bit like a cabin hall divided into two. The entrance side is full of earth slopes, and there is a steel bridge in the middle. The other side of the bridge is full of accumulated metal and soil mixture. It is obvious that a new one has been found there.
In the mining area, metal began to be unearthed.
Ding Meng said solemnly: "Is this the newly opened area you mentioned?"
Xiaobai nodded: "Well, Brother Du Hong is in charge of this area. People who are not his are not allowed to go there."
Ding Meng asked curiously: "Du Hong? This seems like the name of our human world."
Xiaobai said: "Yes, he is indeed a human being, but he is very powerful. Brother Dingmeng, you must be polite if you meet him."
Ding Meng sighed. He had already imagined that this Duhong was actually similar to the machine gun in the Black Gold Base. He must be a local snake in this area, but there must still be a human being who can be the leader of the underground forces of the Steelmane tribe.
Of ability.
There were not many people passing by on the bridge, but there were two tall steel-maned men stationed there. They didn't pay attention when Xiaobai got on the bridge. After all, Xiaobai often went in and out here, but Ding Meng was stopped.
.
"Hey, are you new here?" One of the steel-maned men had his left arm cut off at shoulder level, but his face looked very ferocious.
Xiaobai quickly stepped forward and explained with a smile: "Brother Deqi, he is new here, he is my neighbor, and he was sent by Chief Han."
Hearing that it was Han Xing who sent him down, the man with the broken arm looked at Ding Meng carefully. He seemed to think that Ding Meng was too thin: "Okay, you can pass by, but the rules remain the same..."
As he spoke, he stretched out two fingers towards Xiaobai, who immediately nodded: "No problem, no problem!"
The man with the broken arm waved his hand and said: "Go in!"
After passing the bridge, there is the main passage. The main passage can fully accommodate the entry and exit of trucks, but there are many branch passages, which are dense and extremely complicated. Xiaobai and Ding Meng went around and around again, and finally got into a small cave.
This cave is exactly like the underground drainage pipes in those towns. It is so narrow that people can only crawl inside.
"Did you dig this out?" Ding Meng was also crawling forward.
Xiaobai turned around and smiled: "The people who can enter this T30 area are very powerful, so I dug a small path to get out."
Ding Meng suddenly discovered Xiaobai's cleverness. He was too short to dig out such a tunnel, so only he and his own body could crawl in it, while the other steel-maned men were too big.
You can't get in at all, so you don't have to worry about others coming to snatch it.
However, the walls of the passage are full of various metal spikes and blunt objects. With a fragile body like Xiao Bai's, it is inevitable to get scratched if he tries to crawl through it. Therefore, every time Xiao Bai returns to the ground, his whole body is covered with wounds. The reason is
here.
However, Xiaobai didn't show any pain. He gritted his teeth and tried to crawl forward. Ding Meng behind him was sighing secretly. In the past, he always felt that the days in the Black Gold Base were dark and hard enough, but the environment here was compared to the Black Gold Base.
The base is at least ten times worse. A person always has to go through too much pain in order to survive, not to mention Xiaobai is still a four-year-old steel-maned man.
After crawling downward for more than ten kilometers, the two finally climbed into a cave the size of a room. This cave was full of pits and pits, and it was obvious that it was dug manually. The walls were covered with metal chaos, and the ground was made of rusty steel.
"Xiaobai, did you dig this out?" Ding Meng asked.
Xiaobai sat down on the ground, took out a small bottle of healing agent from the iron box he carried with him, and carefully wiped the wounds on his body: "Yes, this is my small room, Brother Dingmeng, we can dig slowly.
"
He took out a small crystal energy saw from the box, pointed it at the wall and dug in. As the saw rotated, various metal powders flew around.
Ding Meng looked at him with interest: "Your equipment is pretty good, and it's rechargeable."
Xiaobai smiled awkwardly: "Brother Dingmeng, I am not strong enough to smash with bare hands like their adults, so I can only use this."
Ding Meng said: "You exchanged this saw from the base center, right? Maintenance is probably not cheap."
Xiaobai concentrated on cutting the wall: "There is no way, those who eat have to spend money to recharge."
Ding Meng said: "By the way, the guy with a broken hand on the bridge said that the rules will not change. What are those rules?"
Xiaobai sighed helplessly: "We can come in for free, but we can't go out for free."
Ding Meng asked curiously: "Is it possible that I still need to collect money when I return?"
Xiaobai frowned and said: "We dug up the materials, and we have to leave half of them for them when we return to the bridge."
Let me go, this protection fee is too high. Ding Meng was a little surprised: "Is everyone like this?"
Xiaobai said: "No, everyone pays in different proportions. You and I pay half, and the others pay much less."
Ding Meng was puzzled: "Why?"
Xiaobai stopped digging and sighed: "Normal people can't get in here. We have to thank Brother Du Hong for taking us in. It's hard to find good materials outside."
Ding Meng also let out a long sigh. Xiaobai has already lived a hard enough life. In addition to being exploited by the base, he also has to be squeezed by the underground forces. How similar is this to the original Xiaosi? But Xiaobai is still quite happy.
Be optimistic, keep your head down and concentrate on your work.
Ding Meng looked at it for a long time and couldn't bear it anymore: "Let me do it! You go and rest!"
Xiaobai turned around and said, "Brother Dingmeng, can you use this machine? If not, I will teach you how to use it."
Ding Meng shook his head helplessly: "No need, just put your machine away and follow me."
Nowadays, Ding Meng is no longer the coolie he used to be. He just made a move with his hand, and the Mirror Flower, Water Moon, and Mirror Flowers automatically popped up in the air and transformed into a long sword. Then, driven by the power of his mind, it started to spin crazily. This was completely an upgraded version of the saw, but it was even more advanced.
Like a sharp probe, it drilled directly into the other wall.
"Uh-huh--"
All kinds of metal scraps and powders sprayed out crazily from the wall. Xiaobai was immediately dumbfounded. The sword drilled by Ding Meng was completely a circular tunnel. It could advance more than ten meters in one minute, and the four walls
It's smooth and flat, and it can't be compared to digging it by hand.
Of course he didn't know that the Mirror Flower Water Moon Sword was made of krypton gold and platinum, and there was no metal it couldn't penetrate. Moreover, during the reconnaissance of telekinesis, Xiao Ai had already determined the excavation route, so in less than an hour, a long
Long tunnels were dug.
At the other end of the tunnel, the long sword also cut out a small square room. Ding Meng picked up a piece of black metal the size of a photoelectric gun. He thought about it but felt uneasy, so he simply cut the metal into pieces with one sword.
Two pieces were handed to Xiaobai: "You can take it back now."
Xiaobai's eyes widened: "So fast? Is it useful? Can I exchange it for something?"
Ding Meng nodded affirmatively: "It's useful. Take one of these two pieces to pay tolls, and take the remaining piece to the base center. It can be used to exchange for everything you need for a month. By the way, take care of your set of tools."
.”
Xiao Bai was dumbfounded when he heard this. Ding Meng did it in less than five minutes. He was still a little hesitant: "Brother Ding Meng, what about you?"
Ding Meng still kept an eye on it: "Remember, after you change supplies at the base, you must not come down. Just stay in the barracks and wait ten days before coming down again. I guarantee you will still gain something."
Although Xiao Bai didn't know what Ding Meng meant by this move, the two pieces of metal scrap in his hands were not fake. After thinking about it, he turned around and went away happily.
