Chapter 313: Under the Mine
Perficott still expected what he would see when he went down into the mine.
After all, mining has been very hard work since ancient times.
In the past, more convicts and prisoners of war were used for mining, because the harsh environment and high-intensity labor would quickly destroy these people's health and then consume their lives.
Even now, with various advanced technologies used to improve mining efficiency, the situation in the mine is still the same, without much improvement.
The only difference may be that the working miners now can go up the wells and return to the surface, clean themselves and get a good rest, instead of staying underground all year round like the miners in the past, who evolved from humans into earth rats.
You know, in the past, the most common way for people to mine was to send a group of criminals or prisoners of war underground, and then block the exit of the mine, requiring these people to ration how much ore they mined every day, otherwise they would not be able to mine the mine. Give food to eat.
In order to obtain enough food, the underground miners had no choice but to mine as hard as they could, and in the end they got very little food.
However, Purficott obviously would not use such cruel methods to mine.
Instead of using this backward production method, she might as well set up a few large excavators and directly dig up the entire mountain for mining. I don’t know how efficient it is.
Of course, the idea of rubbing a few excavators was purely out of emotion. Although it didn't mean that she couldn't do it, it was obviously impossible for Purficott to actually do it.
So currently this mine is still using manual mining which is relatively inefficient.
"What are you doing here! Don't you have to work!" The person in charge scolded a few times, and rushed the miners who were stunned when they saw Perfectcott's arrival to work, and then led her to In a small room on the side, he asked her to sit on the only clean chair, and then introduced the situation here to her: "Your Excellency, you saw, this is what it looks like down there.
This place is quite good. After all, it is not a mining area, and the space is relatively sufficient. When the robot was sent down before, it was mainly active in this area.
As for the deeper areas. At the mining site, people with limited space can only crawl on the ground, and there is really no way for the robot to penetrate deeply.”
Having said this, the person in charge still did not forget to advise Perficott: "Your Majesty, Earl, you'd better go up quickly! This is no place for people to stay down here. A person of such noble status as you should not come to such a place.< br>
And you are a woman. Those miners don’t wear clothes when they work. If I bump into you, it will be a sin.”
Perfect said to the person in charge. She was prepared for the situation, and she also expected the situation here.
However, she had no intention of leaving, but wanted to take a deeper look and learn more about the situation.
Her request undoubtedly made the person in charge very embarrassed, but he obviously had no way to disobey a count, so he could only bite the bullet and took a cap with a thick layer of black grease on it. The cane-woven safety helmet motioned for Purficott to put it on.
He didn't dare to let Purficott continue walking into the mine without wearing a safety helmet. If he encountered any danger, he really wouldn't be able to bear it and walked away.
However, Purficott really disliked this dirty helmet, so she put her hand directly on the ground, and then used alchemy to knead a helmet for herself before wearing it. On his own head.
By the way, she also gave each of the White Bear Knights around her a pinch.
Seeing that Purficott and the others were wearing safety helmets, the person in charge really had no excuses, so he carefully and slowly led Purficott deeper into the mine. The tunnels inside the mine were complicated, but fortunately there were rails on the ground for the passage of minecarts. They had been walking near the rails, but they didn't encounter anything too bad.
But Purficott still felt the stuffy air under the mine, the dim lighting, and the most dangerous gas problem.
"Is there a gas detector installed underground?" Purficott asked the person in charge, and at the same time she looked at the surrounding miner's lamps for lighting.
This is a specially designed lighting equipment that can burn and provide lighting underground while avoiding igniting underground gas and causing an explosion. It can be said that it has greatly improved the safety of mine operations.
But even so, the gas problem in the mine is still very dangerous, so Purficott asked whether a gas detector was installed.
The person in charge did not hide anything on this point. He nodded very seriously and said: "We have installed gas detectors in all key locations, and there are dedicated personnel responsible for checking at any time to ensure that there will be no gas detectors." Gas explosion problem ”
Purficott didn't think he was lying, but he didn't have much trust in what he said about ensuring there wouldn't be a gas explosion.
After all, in the original world, technology has developed into the information age. Human beings have entered space and landed on the moon. Gas explosions still occur in coal mines. This cannot be avoided by relying on some safety inspections.
So Purficott didn’t ask too many questions. After all, for this era, the person in charge was already conscientious enough.
Only when she reached a fork in the mine, the person in charge suddenly stopped Perfectcott and refused to let her go any further.
Perfect looked at the mine behind the person in charge, which was only as high as her chest, and shook her head helplessly.
Of course she knew what was going on, and why the person in charge didn't let her move forward.
But she didn't criticize anything, she just took a deep look at the person in charge and said, "I don't want to see children here anymore."
After that, Perfico Te then turned and left.
She has never told anyone that as a perfect life form, her eyes have low-light vision. Although she cannot see clearly in the dark, at least in this dim environment, it is very important to her. It is no different from being under the noon sun.
So what the person in charge tried so hard to prevent her from seeing, she had already seen clearly.
And for Purficott, both what she saw in the original world and the information she had access to in this world were enough for her to understand what kind of darkness was hidden in the mine.
This kind of thing cannot be avoided by issuing a ban. She can only control it as much as possible.
The reason why she insisted on going down to the depths of the mine in person was largely because she wanted to know what was going on down there and see with her own eyes the hidden darkness and evil.
