The Mineral Company is the sky above District 51, controlling everything in District 51.

The existence of a mineral company is a mineral resource that is tens of thousands of meters deep underground.

Mineral companies need to create benefits and provide upper-level nobles with various ores that only want to increase but not reduce.

To achieve this goal, the mining company provides miners with rock drills and protective clothing at a cost price, including high-energy batteries, electrical energy, high-strength drill bits used for rock drills, and oxygen to charge oxygen cylinders in the mine. They are basically provided for free.

Otherwise, the regulations on one kilowatt-hour of electricity and one credit point must be strictly implemented, and the miners can't even pay the lost electricity bills.

You should know that most mining areas are underground 2,30 kilometers deep, and the hardness of the rock formation here is close to diamond. It takes at least half an hour of miners to mine 1 kilogram of ore from here.

The total annual output of various ores in the entire 51 area is only 30 million tons.

This output is an insult to the level of technological development in this world.

Why don’t the company use large mining machinery to increase production, or develop mining robots that are not easy to fatigue and are not afraid of sacrifice, instead of manual labor?

The main reason is cost.

One is that the manufacturing, procurement and use costs of large-scale mining machinery are too high, so high that mineral companies cannot bear it.

Two, artificial is cheaper, or those miners are cheaper, or even cheaper than mining robots. They can be used as consumables and are completely sufficient and very easy to use.

The only value of miners' existence is mining for mining companies.

Therefore, the mining company has formulated a very rigorous price system, which not only ensures that miners will not starve to death, but also has no way to be lazy.

But now, this price system is being hit by the third mining area.

In three years, the economic losses of the mining company exceeded 20 million credit points in just two items of water and electricity.

The most important raw ore production has plummeted by 30% within three years.

Following this trend, once the grain in the third mining area is self-sufficient, the raw mineral output may decline.

When other mining areas see this scene, they will also rush to follow suit.

This is a terrible disaster for District 51!

"Ban, I will ban all these fresh things that appear in the third mining area! Any means can be taken!"

After reporting the situation to the general manager of the company, the general manager of District 51 said to Fang Zhihong.

"Yes, Mr. Wang!"

...

The fierce struggle between the Tiejia in the third mining area and the mining company has officially begun.

At the beginning, it was a warning that the staff sent by the mining company asked the Tie family to let go of all fresh water, turn off the generator, and remove the greenhouse within three days, otherwise they would accept the company's punishment and sanctions!

Of course, the Tie family doesn’t buy it. The mining company only manages the mine affairs. Why should it be in charge of the affairs in the living area? What do they do in the living area and why should the company manage it?

Area 51 is a very loose and anarchic area. Mining companies are only responsible for mining affairs and material supply. The companies do not send personnel to manage the more than 300 underground mining areas. All mining areas are actually in a state of chaos and autonomy. Most of the miners are tough and difficult to tame. Mining companies do not want to pay too high management costs to manage these miners.

Therefore, the Tie family still did their own thing. Not only did they not demolish these facilities as required, but instead increased the efforts to protect their personnel and made all response plans.

But how can the arm be twisted over the thigh?

On the fourth day, the mining company only supplied all kinds of materials to the third mining area in the store, and all the prices increased by ten times and canceled the supply of a large number of important materials. The third mining area immediately fell into a panic. After those miners who originally supported the Tie family felt the sudden increase in survival pressure, they were originally watching the fun and immediately distanced themselves from the Tie family, and complained from behind.

The Jin brothers and the Lang brothers did not forget to take advantage of the situation. They took this opportunity to lead people to attack many times and smashed a greenhouse in the Tie family.

Fortunately, Zhou Ming had expected this situation. While hoarding a large amount of supplies in advance, he also asked Tieqiang to send people to the next door to the Fourth and Fifth Mining Areas to buy a large amount of supplies. The more the quantity, the better!

After all, the e7 area can achieve partial self-sufficiency, and currently only has the third mining area. In other mining areas, prices cannot change too much. If it also rises ten times at the same time, it would be strange if miners do not rebel.

After realizing this situation, Fang Zhihong was not Yiyou. He was cruel and ruthless, so he even raised the prices of ten mining areas in the e7 area under his jurisdiction by 10 times. He told the miners in these ten areas on the radio: "I want you to destroy the water source of the Tie family in the third area, destroy their generators and greenhouses! Kill all the people in this family, prices will fall, and the company will reduce you by another 10%!"

Hearing this news from the radio, Zhou Ming knew that if he wanted to survive, he would not be able to do that plan, so he immediately said to Tieqiang: "At present, we can only implement e-plan."

“Plan e?”

Tieqiang smiled miserably on his face and his fist hit the rock wall: "Company, you forced me! Since you want us to die, we will not let you have a good time!"

After saying that, Tieqiang's family put on thick miner's protective suits, brought more than fifty people with hammers and rock drills in their hands. On the same day, they rushed into the company store in the mine. After killing the clerk, they looted all the supplies in the store and sent all the supplies to the onlookers outside.

Not only that, after looting the company stores in the mining area, the group of people continued to rob the company stores in the surrounding areas of the first, second, fourth, fifth, sixth, etc. In the next one or two days, they also looted all the company stores in the surrounding areas of the first, second, fourth, fifth, and sixth. After all the materials they snatched were also sent to the onlookers, they also issued a revolutionary declaration to these people:

"Enough!"

"We've had enough!"

"We can't live such a day!"

"The company, the mining company, treats us as slaves raised in captivity, mining, mining, and constantly mining, so that we can use our lives to mine! How many wives lose husbands, how many children lose their fathers every year? What about the company? A credit point compensation will not be given to them!"

"We are lucky to be hard and risk our lives. What is the reward for us? It is such a small amount of reward that is only enough for our lives. According to the careful calculation of the company, if we don't work for a day, we will live hungry for a day. A 6-year-old child has to go to the mine, and a miner who is in his 40s who cannot work as a miner will be disqualified from going to the mine..."

"Slaves, we are just a group of slaves, a group of humble ants! The value of our existence is not even as good as an ore in the eyes of those in the company!"

"Who else is willing to continue like this? Just like us, we no longer dig any mine under the ground, but use the hammer in our hands to smash the heads of those company employees, use the rock drill in our hands to drill open the store lockers! We are very happy to dig this wealth mine!"

"Yes, we may all die, but we will only die a few years earlier. We prefer this way of dying more than dying deep underground, and poverty and hunger!"

"Are you tired of this kind of life? Are you still hesitating? Come on, come and join us! Put on your miner's uniforms and go mining with us!"

After listening to the declaration, the first miner joined them soon.

Next is the second, the third... the tenth, the hundredth, the thousandth...

In just one week, it was like a spark of scattering on a pile of dry firewood. The miners in the e7 area quickly exploded like a fire, and quickly wiped out the company forces in the area in an instant.

Fang Zhihong fled in a hurry and reported the situation to his superiors urgently. After learning about this situation, "Mr. Wang" cursed at the waste and immediately ordered someone to drag the guy out and throw it into the mine thousands of feet deep.

But killing ten Fang Zhihong at this time was useless. In order to quell the rebellion and not disrupt the company's production plan, "Mr. Wang" dispatched security forces from more than 20 areas and organized a 5,000-person encirclement team, all equipped with chemical energy automatic rifles and a small number of high-energy electric guns, and strive to completely suppress the rebellious force in a short period of time.

However, three years have passed, and this rebel army has not only not been eliminated, but has broken the encirclement and suppression again and again, not only causing heavy losses to the company, but the territory controlled by the rebels has also expanded from ten mining areas to more than one hundred mining areas. The number of rebels has also increased from more than a thousand at the beginning to more than 30,000. The large number of weapons seized from the company's encirclement and suppression team has been defeated step by step.

The rebels used guerrilla tactics in mines, with very small personnel losses. The weapons used by the company's encirclement team were difficult to penetrate the protective suits worn by miners, and the range of high-energy electric guns was close. The rebels used their familiarity with the terrain of mines again and again to either make the guards lose their direction in the mines, or were attacked behind them. The advantages of advanced weapons could not be used at all.

Later, the company sent a special force equipped with advanced detective equipment, equipped with life detectors and radar scanners, which caused great losses to the rebel army. However, this special force of hundreds of people was seconded from other underground areas and belonged to the ground force. It was not familiar with underground mines and was soon lost...

In the fifth year of the Great Uprising, more than 300 underground mining areas were seen, and more than 200 were controlled by the rebels. The company's newly appointed general manager, Mr. Long, made a decision that shocked everyone:

"Close 29 vents, leaving only one, ask the miners to come out from the ground, and a miner came up, and then put a 'explosive neck ring' for him. After closing all the vents, wait until all the rats below die and the mining area becomes clean, let the miners go down."

This plan is vicious because once the underground mining area loses its external oxygen supply, it will no longer remain ventilated. The poisonous gas and natural bodies that seep out of the cracks of the rocks will soon turn all mining areas into dead areas that are not suitable for human survival. If humans in the underground mining area do not evacuate to the ground within seven days, they will basically die.

No matter how thoroughly Zhou Minge's plan was, he did not expect that such a situation would occur.

A situation that is equivalent to a reshuffle.

Therefore, when the rebels' senior officials were panicking collectively, Zhou Ming could only give Tieqiang advice like this:

"Now you can only dig an escape passage by yourself, escape to the surface, or hide in shallow mining areas with better ventilation, and wait until the company restarts the ventilation equipment before returning to the underground."

But at this time, the rebel troops, which had expanded to 100,000 people, plus the families of more than 300,000 people and nearly 400,000 people, consume a lot of food and fresh water every day. If you escape the greenhouse bases and fresh water storage points in the living area, you will all run to the surface or shallow mining areas and lose most of the power supply, the final outcome can be imagined.

The great uprising failed. After being put on the "explosive neck ring", most of the rebels became slaves to the company again. A few rebels who fled to the surface or shallow mining areas failed and died in a few years under the heavy encirclement of the company.
