Chapter 0133 Dangerous Mine Bottom
There has never been a person like Xu Yun in the gold mine, so both Chinese employees and local miners were completely shocked.
No one in this gold mine dares to confront the mercenaries, even the big bosses of China are very polite to these mercenaries.
This kind of politeness is definitely not hypocritical, but it has certain fears for their armed forces, so this kind of politeness will be there.
Xu Yun pressed the black mercenary and walked straight to the elevator. The people next to the lift consciously flashed a road and watched Xu Yun open the lift. Xu Yun didn’t hesitate at all and went straight in.
The speed of the gold mine’s lifts is still very fast. There is a platform deep in the depth of one kilometer, which can be reached in just over a minute.
There were only Xu Yun and black mercenaries in the lift. After entering the lift, the black mercenaries were guilty.
“I am wrong, you forgive me, I don’t dare to respect you anymore.” The black mercenary said: “You have something to talk to the towers, everything we do is what he means!”
Xu Yun completely ignored his meaning and pressed the lift directly: “I will talk to the towers about the problems between me and him, but now it is a problem between me and you.”
The lift began to drop, and Xu Yun directly released the black mercenary. The other side wanted to resist, but he could face Xu Yun and he could not resist.
The lift quickly reached a platform and Xu Yun launched the black mercenary.
He has a certain understanding of the underground structure Xu Yun, so he is very clear about what is inside. But the black mercenary didn’t know it, and saw the dim light in his heart.
Xu Yun pushed him for a few minutes and walked to the next lift in the other lane, which was responsible for sending the miners to the deepest operating location.
Someone was responsible for the lift and saw some accidents.
Xu Yun’s momentum does not need to be said to let people know that it is an authority to speak. The two men once again took the lift and began to fall.
The black mercenary was in a mess, and he was really afraid that Xu Yun would let him die.
Soon they went to a deeper place. When Xu Yun took the black mercenary out again in the elevator, various thick pipes were fixed on the wall of the roadway, sending water and fresh air and wires to the ground.
The miners and their equipment, as well as the ore, are transported in the roadway by trams. On the ground of the roadway, besides the railroad tracks, it is a messy bug, which is very disgusting.
In the noise of generators and trams and various other mechanical equipment, the miners shouted in the local language. Some miners also carry broken plastic bottles, which are filled with locally brewed wine. Sometimes, working in such a place requires a drink to refresh.
In the mine, the horizontal roadway extends from the central shaft in all directions and enters the mining surface of each depth. The diameter of the main roadway is seven or eight meters.
The walls and the top are reinforced concrete structures, and the steel bars are firmly fixed to the surrounding rocks.
But the closer to the active mining surface, the worse the environment becomes. The aisles became narrower and narrower, and the miners only had to bend over to pass, and the headlights were constantly scraped to the top of the aisle.
In the end, everyone can only kneel on the ground and climb forward with their knees. The dim light falls on the stairs that lead to the different lanes and looks like the entrance to hell.
There is a lot of dust in the air, and the rust-colored sewage is continuously seeping from the cracks in the walls…
The working environment in this place is definitely the worst working environment in the world.
However, miners who exploit gold in this place hold extremely low wages, and some of them can even get it for only $10 a day.
On the continent of Africa, this cheap labor is perhaps the richest thing.
On the mining surface, at the end of the tunnel, the ore body appears, and the gold mine is mined in these places. The thickness of the ore layer is from a few centimeters to one or two meters.
The exposed mineral deposits are smooth, surrounded by quartz stones and doped with pyrite spots. Although this thing is very similar to gold, it is what the miners call “fools gold.”
The real gold ore is hidden in the darker stones, which are blasted by the miners into billiard-sized stones, transported to the ground by transport tracks, and then processed by the workers on the ground. Things then need to be refined.
Only a step-by-step process can be solved, and eventually it will become the underground treasury of the major banks, or become the “running chain” in the neck of some big gangsters.
The thicker the gold necklace, the more it will be able to pay back when these children are in trouble. When it is convenient to run, it is called “running the road chain”.
The black mercenary was a bit stunned, and Xu Yun gave him a job to advance the work: “Do it for twenty-four hours, then come out.”
“What?!” The black mercenary was stunned at the time. What is this requirement?
“If you don’t want to do it, if you don’t accept punishment, I will let you die now.” Xu Yun provoked.
The black mercenary had a soft leg and he couldn’t beat Xu Yun. He knew it.
Mercenaries have an advantage, that is, they are especially self-aware, and those who know they can’t beat them will never be reluctant.
“This is a punishment for you. If you are a mercenary of you, who will not respect me, I will send it in!” Xu Yun said: “You better work hard, if I listen to who you are lazy Now, you will continue for another twenty-four hours, until the time when your word of mouth is praised, I will let you come up.”
“Then what I eat.”
Xu Yun has two hands: “Whether, I don’t know if the big cockroach here is a super high protein food.”
“I…” The black mercenary was completely speechless.
Xu Yun refers to the worker who started the mine: “Follow him to learn, hurry to find an air drill and start working! Don’t let me see you so boring again.”
The black mercenary was helpless and could only be left to arrange. He also took the air drill bit and began to walk slowly toward the mining site, then climbed low to the mining surface.
The miners used hand-held air drills to drill small holes of two or three centimeters in diameter on the surface of the ore, and then filled the holes with ammonium nitrate-based explosives, which were then safely determined by ground personnel before being blasted remotely.
Drilling and exploding in deep underground, the most important thing for people to overcome is the high heat and increased rock stress in this place.
In general, large mines will be tried by engineers to transport large amounts of cold water to the bottom of the mine every day, and then pump it back after the water temperature rises.
The air conditioning system pipeline located on the ground below 1000 meters will cycle more than 500 liters of water per second. In order to reduce the amount of water consumed during the cooling process, engineers also used ice cubes.
However, this process still consumes a lot of electric energy, so this small gold mine will not use this method to help workers cool down.
In many people’s eyes, Africans are very hot, even if there is a temperature of nearly 50 degrees below the same, they can work the same.
In addition, mitigating the stress in the rock has proven to be far more difficult than maintaining a suitable temperature in the mine. In Africa, the number of large and small earthquakes caused by underground blasting is so numerous that seismologists around the world often travel to Africa. Some mines collect data that can help them understand the earthquake.
The deeper the depth of drilling and blasting by miners, the greater the stress generated in the rock. In addition, because the large amount of ore is taken away, the remaining rocks are under tremendous pressure.
After the accumulated stress is large enough, the rock will explode violently and suddenly release the energy. This process is as fast as the tightened bowstrings, and those working on the mining surface are hard to survive.
So how dangerous this place is, it goes without saying.
