Before entering the copy experience, Zhou Ming wanted to learn more about intelligence and information from the system, but he was sent by the system saying "Please explore it yourself."

Shaking his head, Zhou Ming could only click to start the game. In the injection mode, he started a game of mine detection experience, and collected this information by himself in the dungeon.

"Drip~"

"Start the injection mode and start entering the game..."

After a thin prompt, a scene of a baby crying and born in his mind... The game began like this.

Soon, three years passed in the dungeon.

The baby in the picture in his mind became a young child who can walk and speak simply. He is strong and clever. Among the four children, he is the youngest and most loved by his mother.

but……

"In such a world, this child, at most, grows up to 6 years old, and has to go to the mine to work..."

There is no character card, no skill card, no [map] and various items. This challenge level provided by the system is worse than a hell level.

Why do you say so?

Through shared perspective observation, Zhou Ming obtained some basic information collected from this world and the basic judgment.

Let’s talk about the family situation of the default character of the copy first:

A pretty happy family of six.

My father Tieman, a 30-year-old strong man, with a thorny and thorny body, a height of 1.9 meters, and a cold and distinctive face. He has a bad temper towards outsiders and a warm and silent attitude towards his family. He is the pillar of this family.

My mother, Hongyan, is two years younger than her father. She is an ordinary housewife with a big butt and big breasts, and is easy to raise. She has given birth to four healthy children. She is good at cooking and sewing, has a shy and quiet personality, and is the logistics minister of this family.

My eldest brother Tietou, 10 years old this year, has gone to the mine and is engaged in copper mine mining in the middle-level mining area.

The second sister, Tie Ermei, is 8 years old this year. She is helping take care of her younger brother and helping her mother cook at home.

Sange Tieshan, 6 years old, has gone to the mine and is engaged in simple rough ore selection in the middle-level mining area.

The default character Tieqiang is 3 years old this year and is taken care of by his mother and sister at home.

This family lives in a miner's living area 12 kilometers deep underground, and is called the "third living area". This living area is of medium scale among hundreds of similar underground living areas, with a population of about 3,000, all of which are miners and miners' families, and they make a living by mining.

This planet, because the shallow resources on the surface have long been mined, in order to obtain resources, miners have to march deeper into the ground, brave the dangers of high temperature, high pressure, lack of oxygen, collapse, magma, etc., to obtain raw ore resources such as iron, manganese, copper, gold, silver, sulfur, phosphorus, potassium salt from the ground.

The place where my father Tieman works is to work in a zirconium mine area with a depth of 30 kilometers underground and close to the edge of the mantle layer. The zirconium ore here has high grade and rich reserves, and zirconium metal is of great use in the high-quality and cutting-edge industrial field. The value of zirconium can rank among the top 20 among hundreds of metals and non-metallic minerals.

Mining minerals 30 kilometers underground is not as simple as saying it is. It is located at the edge of the crust close to the scorching mantle layer, with a temperature of more than 200 degrees Celsius, the air pressure is three times that of the surface, and the underground poisonous gas is spreading, and the oxygen content is zero. Miners must wear thick devices similar to space suits and carry oxygen cylinders to work in such extreme environments.

Moreover, the solid-liquid friction movements at the junction of the earth's crust and mantle, and the frequent occurrence of miniature earthquakes. After the rock layer ruptures, the magma suddenly erupts from the mantle, which only takes the lives of dozens of miners every year in the third living area.

But it is not possible to mine in such a dangerous deep mining area, because the raw ore such as iron, copper, manganese, etc. contained in the middle layer of the earth's crust is not valuable. One ton is only worth dozens of credit points, which is far from the high-value ore that is worth dozens of credit points deeper.

Is there no high-value ore in the middle and shallow underground?

No, almost nothing.

Even if there is, it is just a poor mine with small reserves, low grades and high mining costs.

Almost all the middle and shallow mineral resources on this planet, especially high-value resources, have been mined.

For all the miners and families in the "third living area", ore is everything they rely on for survival.

Because the people here live in the dark underground, energy, food, clothing, household appliances, daily necessities, mining tools and other supplies are provided by the '51 Mining Company' and cannot be self-sufficient. They can only sell the ore they dug to the mining company and exchange it for a credit point, and then take the credit point and buy all kinds of necessary materials from the mining company.

For example:

1 kilowatt-hour of electricity, worth 1 credit point.

1 liter of fresh water, worth 2 credit points.

1 simple style shirt, worth 20 credit points.

100 compressed nutritious lunches, worth 50 credit points.

1 induction cooker for cooking, worth 200 credit points.

1 set of sealed protective clothing for deep wells, worth 30,000 credit points.

In addition to the expenses of other daily necessities, furniture, household appliances, etc., a family of six and a 24-hour life cycle requires at least 300 credit points to maintain the cost.

This is still a expense under extremely frugal conditions.

If my father Tieman's protective clothing is broken or if the mining tools need to be repaired, the repair costs will sometimes be in vain for a day.

As for my father Tieman, who works in a deep mining area, the value of the ore mined in one day is basically between 300-500 credit points.

So in every time period, after my father Tieman got off work, the first question my mother Hongyan asked was: "How many credit points were mined today?"

If the answer is above 400, the supper will become more abundant; if it is between 300 and 400, the supper will be as usual; if it is less than 300, or the tool breaks down, the whole family will fall into a frown. Except for my father Tieman, the amount of supper will be reduced.

The family has a large population, and the income of my father Tieman can only barely maintain the expenses. To improve the family conditions and prevent unexpected situations, only a few children can go to the mine to work early.

As for the education of children...

Just recognize those numbers. My father Tieman didn’t go to school for a day and went to the mine at the age of 6. What conditions do his children have to live better than him?

Although a 6-year-old child laborer can only do some easy jobs, he can still have about 10 credit points in a time period. Although it is better than nothing, he can accumulate small amounts into many.

...

So, under Zhou Ming's silent attention, Tieqiang, who had grown to 6 years old, quickly went to the mine to work with his third brother. In the first few days, he threw himself into his mother's arms and cried as soon as he got home. However, after two years of adaptation, as the son of a miner, he still endured those high-intensity work and became the pillar of the family.

However, there were unexpected events. At the age of 10, the zirconium mined in the third mining area gradually dried up. Thousands of households in the third mining area were frowning and didn't know what to do. But soon after, the underground exploration team of the "Mineral Company" came from good news: it was said that a medium-sized titanium ore was found in the junction of the third and fourth mining areas, with a high grade and a reserve of up to one million tons, which had high mining value.

The news made residents of the third mining area very excited and immediately applied to the company to mine the mine. Although the value of titanium ore is not as high as that of zirconium ore, the reserves of one million tons are enough for the third mining area to mine for 100 years. This is a long-term meal ticket.

But after the adjacent Fourth Mining Area learned the news, they were also very excited and immediately competed for the mining rights of this titanium ore from the mining company. The company manager in charge of this mining area originally wanted to suggest that the two mining areas divide the titanium ore equally, but after receiving a five-million credit point card from the head of the Fourth Mining Area, they all divided the titanium ore to the Fourth Mining Area.

Conflicts broke out, and in order to defend their respective interests, a fierce conflict broke out between the third and fourth mining areas.

In that 1,000-person fight, his father Tieman rushed forward and was killed by a sharp knife. The pillar of a family of six collapsed with a bang.

After the fight ended, the third mining area regained half of the titanium ore mining rights, and the price was that more than 300 miners and families had been poor and declining from then on.

After his father Tieman died, his elder brother Tieto became the pillar of the family. Three years later, he was working in a dangerous mining area and suddenly encountered a landslide. His life and death were unknown and he was never able to get up to the well again.

At the age of 16, my sister Tie Ermei got married, and my mother died of lung disease at the age of 18. At the age of 20, my third brother Tieshan signed up for "The Game of Death". No news came back. At the age of 22, Tie Qiang, who was mining in the deep mining area, was a loud rumbling sound, and the rocks under her feet cracked, and the red mantle magma instantly swallowed him...
