Chapter 1854 (2/2)
”You want to drive.” The ghost wanted to say something more, but she was caught by the blade queen.
”Tell me, what resources are you fighting so hard for here?” After holding the ghost, the queen of blade cut directly into the subject and asked. Recently, the ghost's reaction is obviously not right. When he first came out of the laboratory, he seemed quite reticent. But in recent hours, his words began to change more and more. It was like a dull guy turned into a flowery boy in a few hours. This change is quite surprising. Of course, the queen of blade is not aware of this situation. The reason why she is going to pull the ghost is that I reminded her of the reason with the communicator.
”I...”
As soon as the guy said a word, the queen of blade said, ”I advise you to think about it. The information we know is only incomplete, not complete. If you dare to mislead us with false information, I will let you know what you regret. ”
HAB quickly nodded, and then seriously replied: ”we came here to rob pumice mine, but I don't know where the information leaked. As a result, so many lines will rob us. The information of that mining area was bought by our guild, and I don't know how to do it... ”
It seems that the guy is very dissatisfied with the leak, and he complains endlessly as soon as he opens his mouth. But I have no interest in the information behind me. The only thing I can really focus on is pumice. The snowman in the two NPC we caught before said that this kind of ore is used to build spaceships, but now this guy has confirmed that this kind of ore is pumice ore. It is not difficult to draw a correct conclusion under the two-phase evidence.
To tell you the truth, I really didn't expect that there would be pumice mines in this place. You should know that pumice is not a high-yield resource, even if it is a scarce resource. Besides, pumice is not like pure gold or secret silver. Just adding a few grams can change the magic and physical properties of the equipment. The only function of pumice is to levitate. Therefore, it can only be used to reduce the weight of equipment, or simply use it in large quantities to make something fly directly. However, the bearing capacity of pumice per unit weight is limited, and the proportion is quite low, so if you just want to make your armor lighter, that's fair to say, but if you want to make certain equipment can take you to fly, the amount must be calculated by kilogram. Therefore, once pumice is used, its amount will be very large. However, its output is just like gold, often tens of grams and hundreds of grams, which is enough to transform a flight equipment. If you want to do something else, you can't even think about it if you don't save it for three or five years.
After confirming that the guy wasn't lying, I asked the queen of blade to ask again, ”do you know the exact location of the mine?”
”It's under the ground of the place where we just fought, but there was an opening there, but I don't know why it collapsed. I think it's the guys who did it. We came late and saw that someone had entered the cave in the first line
Needless to say, the gang that this guy saw should be the one who was killed by us. According to him, isn't the corpse mine in the prison snake's nest? Really. What else did we come out for? However, there are pioneers in anyway. It should be quick to dig another hole.
Now that we know where the mine is buried, there's no point in scuffling with these guys. We're not here to fight. I immediately summoned the pioneers and rose vines to dig back. Of course, the entrance was sealed after we entered, so that no one would follow us through the hole we dug.
In other words, although pioneers and rose vines are good at making holes, it is not easy to find the caves we left before under the ground. When we came out before, we didn't have to look at the road at all. We just dug up, but we would have trouble looking down from the ground. The crypt is under the battlefield. We can't dig a vertical well from the middle of the battlefield. We can only dig it down from where we are now. However, it is not easy to ensure the direction of the passage under the ground. When digging, it will deviate. The final result of this deviation may be
”Shit, what's going on here?” Looking at the running underground river in front of me, I was directly stupid there. ”Hey, trailblazer, where did you dig?”
The pioneer tried his best to explain in the mind connection. I also knew that I could not blame him, so I didn't say much. I could only let him dig back. Different from regular large excavators, although the pioneers are also good at digging holes, they are creatures after all, so they can't even pierce rocks like excavators. In the process of excavation, the pioneers will almost instinctively avoid hard materials such as rocks and try to choose the softer part of the hole. In this process of evading, the pioneers will be like people walking through the forest, because they constantly avoid the trees in front of them and eventually deviate from the original route. Although relying on their strong sense of direction, the pioneers will not make a mistake in the East, West, North and south, but the channel he dug out is not a straight line after all. What he missed in this process is completely understandable. What's more, drilling under the ground is not like walking on the ground. The space under the ground is also three-dimensional. Even if you aim at the direction, you may pass through the target above or below due to the depth problem without knowing it.Although the process of going back and backward again can not avoid the pioneers' deviation again, I learned wisdom this time. In addition to letting the pioneers dig holes in front, I also summoned the pepper out. The psychic force field of pepper can penetrate a certain thickness of soil, which virtually widens the holes dug by the pioneers. As long as the trailblazer can maintain the general direction, once we brush near the target, as long as we don't exceed the sensing range of the pepper, we can immediately find the cave.
Sure enough, the luck was much better this time. ”Stop, I feel the underground cavity, dig down to the left, it's only about 20 meters away from us.”
After hearing this, the pioneers immediately turned around and pushed forward 20 meters in one breath. As a result, the pioneers drilled through a big hole. After taking back the pioneers and rose vines, we finally went back to the crescent cave. However, the entrance is at the top of the cave. If we didn't all fly, how to get down would be a real problem.
The guy who provided information before said that the ore was in this cave, but we didn't know the exact location, so we got some advice. Fortunately, we know that pumice is a kind of black thing like coke, which is easy to recognize. After Xiaochun arranged the lighting, I sent out a lot of death guards and Kirin warriors to help find the mine. Of course, their main job is to clear out the collapsed big hole, because it is also part of the cave, and there is a high possibility of pumice mine buried under it. Besides, I asked Lilith to clean up the corpses before, but I haven't come to clean up the treasures below So it's necessary to clean up the hole.
Originally, the workload was quite large, but fortunately we had a large number of people, and there was no shortage of large construction equipment (several giant Dragons), so the excavation work was quite rapid. However, problems still arise.
Pumice was discovered soon, but problems arose. I had planned to dig a little back after I found it. Fortunately, the pepper is nearby, otherwise it will be really troublesome. Just when I was about to let my luck start digging, pepper suddenly indicated that behind the ore was the riverbed of the underground river we had dug through before. Because this cave is much lower than that underground river, once the ore is mined out, the river water will immediately pour into the cave here. Although many of my pet demons have the ability to survive underwater, mining under the water is not so easy.
After all, my demons are just demons. They exist for fighting or supporting the fight. It's OK to open a mine temporarily for investigation, but can't they be used as miners? In addition, after our research, this mining area should belong to the kind of relatively annoying large reserves of bulk ore, in which the total amount of useful pumice is very high, but the distribution area is very large, most of the excavated out per unit volume are useless stones, and the content of useful pumice is extremely low. The nuisance of this kind of mining area is that the mining volume is huge. You can't simply extract pumice. You can only dig out the nearby rocks together, and then separate and process pumice. This series of processes is very complicated. Not to mention, the extra stones will greatly increase the workload. In addition, the mining area is so large, the whole mining process will not be a day or two. If it can be mined in a few months, it will be fast.
Such a long mining time determines that I can't use magic pet to mine. In the future, it can only be handed over to the construction personnel in the guild to mine. Once the mining area is flooded, even large-scale equipment will not be used. Even if everyone has a helmet with underwater breathing function and no equipment, the mining speed will definitely be half as low. What's more, how do you dig a rock with a tool when you're suspended in the water? Wielding iron pick and shovel can not make the water strong, and the explosives can not be used underwater. Otherwise, the whole hole will surely collapse.
Even if the mining equipment and time are not taken into account, once the mining area is flooded, the mud alone will be boring. As long as you start mining under the water, you will muddle the water, and the suspended sediment in the water can't fall down as quickly as the dust in the air. At that time, it will certainly make a pit full of mud, not to mention mining. If you accidentally knock a tool on someone's head, you can't see it.
Looking at such a large pumice mine, it is impossible to dig it. This is simply to let a cat watch the fish on the plate and refuse to eat it. Isn't it intentional to kill people? I couldn't think of a way for a moment, so I just started the communicator to contact the army God. The three cobblers are still top Zhuge Liang. If they don't use the think tanks in the guild, they are wasting. (to be continued.
