Chapter 62 Sending you a mine (4)
"Master Gu? Master Gu?"
Jin Ling called out repeatedly to pull Gu Shaogang out of his daze.
"Not bad, not bad." Gu Shaogang patted the young man on the shoulder, "At least you have good luck. Much better than me."
"Who knows what will happen if we dig deeper, after all, this is just the beginning." Jin Ling did not dare to be blindly optimistic, "Maybe if I dig deeper, I will still find nothing."
"You have to believe in yourself and me. After all, I still have a 30% share here." Gu Shaogang laughed.
Perhaps the words came true. In the next two days, despite the miners' hard work, no other large pieces of refined iron ore were found, only a few pieces of mineral material the size of fingernails.
Jin Ling was a little suspicious, so he took Hongyue out again and let him feel it carefully. The little guy's reaction was the same as last time. There should be something deep in the mine.
"Okay, I'll give it a go." Jin Ling, who had seen the power of fire thunder, decided to use it again, especially before the new owners of other mines organized people to come to mine. In the future, if they enter
There are too many people in this mine, so it becomes difficult to cover up many things.
"Brother Liu, you guys, please stop doing your work this morning." Jin Ling gathered the four miners together, "I have a bad feeling that there will be another landslide in the mine today."
Premonition? Liu Zhong raised his eyes and looked at the mine walls around him. Now every part of the mine was excavated flat and solid, and there was no sign of collapse anywhere.
"Young Master Ling, stop joking." The fourth miner said, "Where is this..."
Liu Zhong secretly tugged on his clothes on the back and said with a smile: "Young Master Ling is right, I always feel that there are some uneasy movements in this mine. For safety reasons, I'd better avoid it first."
"But..." The fourth miner continued to argue.
Liu Zhong said in a low voice: "You don't have a lot of money, and you can still be lazy for a long time. Why do you want to compete with the master's family?"
Under the leadership of Liu Zhong, the four miners took the mine carts and various mining equipment and left the No. 16 mine and came to the main road of the mine.
Jin Ling continued to stay in the mine, selected four locations, and quickly dug four small holes about a foot long with the wild goose dagger. Then, he placed four modified fire mines in each of them.
Stuff it in and pull the safety switch.
These four fire mines specially modified for mining have taken out all the projectiles and shrapnel, and the amount of fire crystal powder has doubled. The most important thing is that in terms of the delay device, the delay effect has been increased from about three seconds to the original.
It's time for a cup of tea.
This gives the placer ample time to escape.
Therefore, after turning on the safety switch, he walked out leisurely, and then guarded the side from the main road of the mine to the side of the mine road to prevent others from accidentally entering.
Time passed by little by little, and the set time was almost reached. Only several loud noises that shook the earth were heard, the whole mine shook, and smoke and dust filled the air.
Under the violent earthquake on the ground, Jin Ling lost his footing and fell to the ground. Several mine guards, as well as all the forces that came to explore the mine with men and horses, were also eclipsed.
A thick plume of ore dust rushed out of the mine and soon filled the entire long mine tunnel.
"what happened!"
Lei Su, the deputy mayor of Heiyan Xianxiang, who was accompanying Gu Shaogang to investigate the No. 8 mine, was staggered by the sudden earthquake and almost ran into Gu Shaogang's arms.
The latter stretched out his hand to steady him, holding his hand on the wall of the mine, and asked suspiciously: "Did the earth dragon turn over? Or did some part of the mine cave in?"
The earth dragon turns over the dragon, which is an earthquake.
"It must be the earth dragon turning over!" Lei Su's expression changed drastically, "The mine caved in, how could there be such a movement?"
Seeing that there were no more aftershocks, he pointed to several mine guards and said, "Hurry and check!"
After a while, a guard came to report: "Deputy Mayor Lei, the mine No. 16 collapsed, and the mine dust was billowing. The mine, and even the more than ten feet long mine tunnel outside, were blocked by gravel."
"Mining No. 16?" Gu Shaogang's heart suddenly rose to his throat, "Isn't that the mine from Jin Ling? Is anyone else in it?"
The guard looked strange: "No, he and his miners are all outside in the main road. He said he had a premonition that there might be a landslide, so he came out first. Unexpectedly, it actually collapsed."
"Premonition?" Even a person like Lei Su found these two words incredible.
Gu Shaogang breathed a sigh of relief.
"The previous mine No. 16 collapsed just a few days ago." The guard said, "Perhaps it is for this reason that the new young man has been uneasy and suspicious. Now, this suspicion has saved him.
Killed him."
As soon as this was said, Lei Su and Gu Shaogang probably understood.
"This kid is very lucky." Gu Shaogang said.
"Go and have a look." Lei Su said.
All the people in the Qikong Mine were attracted by the earth-shaking loud noises, and gathered around the entrance to the No. 16 Mine. At this time, the stone dust had gradually fallen, and the line of sight was clear.
Get up. Jin Ling is already holding a torch and goes in first.
At that end, about one-third of the nearly 100-foot-long mine tunnel was blocked by gravel. Many places in the mine tunnel were cracked by the shock, and some even had cracks and falling rocks on their roofs.
Not to mention the mine inside, this mine tunnel is very dangerous now.
He retreated and saw Gu Shaogang and others.
"How is the situation?" Lei Su asked.
"The mine tunnel was also damaged in many places and needs to be repaired and reinforced." Jin Ling said, "About one-third of the mine tunnel is blocked by gravel at that end. It can only be excavated slowly."
"Do you need me to send you a few more miners?" Gu Shaogang asked.
"No need, Mr. Gu, there are too many people and we can't support them." Jin Ling said, "Brother Liu and I will take care of things slowly."
"The mine tunnel was damaged due to the earthquake. This is the matter of our village head's office. The village head's office will send more manpower to transport various materials and repair it quickly." Lei Su thought for a moment and made a promise, "It's not just mine No. 16.
If one mine tunnel is damaged, the mine tunnels of several other surrounding mines will be damaged. The village head’s mansion will treat them equally and repair them quickly.”
His statement saved Jin Ling a lot of worry.
Subsequently, the village government dispatched many miners with various tools and materials to repair the damaged mine tunnels. While they were repairing the mine tunnels, Liu Zhong led three other miners, bit by bit.
Lucky gravel.
Jin Ling roughly estimated that the scale of the damage in Mine No. 16 this time was about eight to ten times that of the last time. It is estimated that it will take several months to clean up the rubble. By then, a large area will be
The new Mine No. 16, which is ten times the original size, will appear in front of the world.
However, this process is quite time-consuming, and Jin Ling cannot wait that long here.
For the sake of his dispensable 30% share, at Jin Ling's request, Gu Shaogang sent a steward named Gu Cheng to manage Mine No. 16 on his behalf when Jin Ling left.
Gu Cheng is thirty-two or thirteen years old, he looks serious and diligent, and he is also a branch relative of the Gu family. In Gu Shaogang's words, although Gu Cheng is not high in cultivation, he is very reliable and loyal. Therefore, even if Jin Ling is not here, the mine
Gu Cheng will carefully register the income and expenditure amounts mentioned above, and he will be able to make a good living once everything is produced.
In addition to Gu Cheng, the manager, two immortal guards were also sent, both of whom were high-level immortals, to protect the safety of the mine.
In Gu Shaogang's words, this 30% share cannot be used in vain, the Gu family also has to do something.
After handing over the mine affairs with Gu Cheng, Jin Ling was ready to return to Shuangshixian Village. If he stayed away for too long, trouble would occur.
