Chapter 529 The Cursed Ore
Chapter 529 Cursed Ore
The old mining machine looks like a two-story mobile fortress. Chen Yan estimates that it has been at least nearly twenty years since the underground mining area was developed. In other words, this behemoth has at least been underground.
Stayed for twenty years.
The external armor of the old mining machine had been severely corroded. When the searchlight above Chen Yan's head shone on the mottled rust on the mining machine, Bald Parrett's voice appeared in his ears.
'Yes... the first-generation mining machine was a machine made by James Parrett himself. At that time, there were still many monster snakes underground, and the underground was very dangerous. The first-generation mining machine was frequently used in subsequent mining operations.
There was a conflict with the strange snake group, and almost all of them were destroyed. I didn't expect that there was still one left here...'
For safety reasons during underground excavation, old-fashioned mining machines look like tanks that have been enlarged four or five times.
It not only has an excavation mechanical structure similar to the improved version of the shuttle mining machine of the Solar team, but also has attack tracks specially designed for driving through complex underground rock structures, as well as external defense facilities that look like gun barrels.
Chen Yan estimated that the diameter of the barrel was at least ten centimeters. How powerful could such a shell be?
Chen Yan looked at Paulkin Walker: "This kind of shell..."
Paulkin Walker was also a little excited, but he remained rational and could understand what Chen Yan meant. He made an estimate and said: "It can be obtained, but it is all made by small workshops. The quality is not guaranteed and it is easy to explode...
…”
The first-generation mining machine has been dormant underground for so many years, and it is not known if there is still electricity. Chen Yan prayed in his heart that in such a humid environment, he hoped that the circuit would not be corroded.
If the circuit is corroded or oxidized and the mining machine cannot be turned on, the situation will become extremely embarrassing.
Everyone found the entrance to the old mining machine - it was a sliding door that had completely rusted, and the keyhole was completely invisible.
Everyone groped on the door, but couldn't even find the keyhole. Solar followed the previous structure of the shuttle mining machine to find the door-opening button, but still couldn't find it - it seemed that this thing couldn't be opened from the outside.
The situation suddenly became particularly awkward. The way home was right in front of us, but we were stuck in such a strange place.
Chen Yan stroked the pocket on his chest, but the bald Parrett said nothing.
'Eh? What's going on with this guy?'
This was the first time that Chen Yan asked for help but failed to get an answer. Parrett seemed to be thinking about something, which might be a choice for him.
While everyone was at a loss what to do, the slightly deep voice of Bald Parrett appeared in Chen Yan's ears again:
'There's really no way.'
The helplessness and confusion in his tone almost overflowed.
He said incomprehensible words to Chen Yan:
'I'm just a part-time worker, I hope you won't doubt my identity.'
'The first-generation mining machine door is opened using biometric identification. If you put me on the door, if the circuit board on the door is not broken, it can be opened.'
Good guy, it means that a certain identity of Parrett is actually the first generation underground miner!
Parrett does not know the existence of this mining machine, but his bioelectricity can be recognized by this mining machine, which shows that his authority is probably close to the "lower level authority", and he is also likely to be able to open the safety door of each mining machine.
.
If you think about it, you can probably understand that the status of a person with the surname "Parrett" is not too humble in any way.
Chen Yan took out the capacitor representing Perit from his pocket and touched the door of the mining machine.
The next moment, a flicker of light like a firefly appeared where the capacitor touched the door. The flicker of light spread outward in just a few seconds until it formed a circle of patterns——
The thing on the pattern looks like a rivet, and it is different from ordinary rivets. It has complex luminous patterns outlined on it, as if the rivet itself is a kind of circuit board.
'I really miss it... This pattern no longer exists on later generations of mining machines. James Parrett didn't want people to know the origin of these mining machines, so he deleted these patterns from the mining machine's program.'
After the rivets lit up, there was a harsh friction sound of rusty slide rails, and the door of the mining machine opened.
The soft incandescent light inside the mining machine lit up, and everyone entered it. They saw that its interior was almost the same as that of later generations of shuttle mining machines, except that it was much larger in size, almost thirty square meters, and very spacious.
One of the miners from Solar's team came to the storage cabin behind the mining machine. The moment he opened the door of the storage cabin, crystal-clear green serpentine rocks poured out like a tide and spread all over the ground.
The texture of these serpentine rocks is smooth and flat. The key is that there is no impurity at first glance, like a perfect creation of nature.
Bald Parrett said in Chen Yan’s ear:
'This pure ore should be the first batch of snake-nose rock ores discovered underground. At that time, the strange snake tribe had not yet mutated. Their body fluids were very pure, so the quality of the snake-nose rock they transformed into was very high.'
'As for later... the strange snake group became less pure, and the impurities in the ore gradually increased.'
Chen Yan already knew what happened next:
The strange snake group was infected by the "Brain Ball Strain" and mutated into the "Snout Snout Strain". Various adaptive mutations occurred during the twenty years of living underground. Eventually, the strange snake group in different locations and different living environments developed.
differentiated and became different.
Thinking of this, Chen Yan had a strange idea:
Now that the ethnic groups have been divided, is there already racial segregation between the winged monster snakes in the cave waters and the triangular-headed monster snakes deep in the Omega mining area?
This is no longer a question he can verify.
The miners of Solar opened the gate and saw the pure ore, and then came to Solar, as if they were talking to Solar.
Chen Yan only saw Solar frowning and shaking his head frequently, as if he disagreed with what they said.
The two miners became more and more excited as they talked, until after a while they finally couldn't restrain their tempers and had a quarrel with Solar.
"We bought the shuttle mining machine with a loan! Now because of the arrival of these people, the mining machine exploded! We owe the company money that we will never be able to repay in several lifetimes! We can only use these pure ores to pay off the debt!"
During the quarrel, one of the miners suddenly took out his gun, pointed it at the operating table, and said angrily:
"Get them out of the car! Otherwise no one will be able to go back!"
The atmosphere suddenly became tense again, and another miner had raised his gun and pointed it at Chen Yan and the others.
Paulkin Walker glanced at Chen Yan, and after receiving the latter's confirming look, he put his hand into his pocket.
"What the hell are you doing!"
The miners were irritable, cowardly and panicked. When they saw Paulkin Walker's unusual behavior, they did not fire immediately.
The next moment, two gunshots with almost no interval rang out from Paulkin Walker's pocket.
At the same time, two bloody holes appeared on the heads of the two miners.
