Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

Lao Hu and his companions walked out of the mine together, looked up at the sky, and it was getting dark at dusk.

"Old Hu, how much did we dig today?" A companion next to him walked up to Lao Hu and asked him about the fruits of today's labor.

Not all of the dozen or so men went down into the mine, only eleven of them actually worked underground, and three others were in charge of processing the ore they dug up.

"I have to ask Xiao Tang and the others about it, but it should be more than 100 tons dug today?" Lao Hu shook his head, and he could only estimate the approximate amount.

Before the disaster, a small iron mine of the scale contracted by them could dig about 20-50 tons of ore a day.

And Lao Hu and the others rely on the drill bits on the industrial ship and the mining exoskeleton provided by the country, and their production efficiency has been greatly improved.

It is not too exaggerated to dig out more than one hundred tons of ore a day.

"The standard set by the country is to dig 100 tons a day, and the extra is our own. It seems that the hard work has not been in vain!" Another person beside him said happily, with a happy smile on his face, He did not forget to ask Lao Hu: "Old Hu, what do you think we want to exchange these ores for? How about we change to a living cabin? The cabin on the ship is still too small, and it is still a bit awkward for a family to live together. cramped."

"What living quarters do you want to change? If you want me to say, just change to a new set of mining equipment. The mining area we contracted is still quite large. We can open another sub-mine. It is serious to dig a little more!" Another person on the side People obviously have different opinions. He hopes to have more equipment to dig more mines and have more income.

This is a very simple idea, and it can be called an idea, but Lao Hu shook his head at it.

"I've already thought about it. This month, I'll find a country to change to an ecological greenhouse, let the women grow some vegetables and fruits, and improve the food for the children. They are all growing up, so it's impossible not to eat better." Lao Hu said The idea is simpler, but also more far-sighted: "We work so hard, isn't it just for the better life of our wife and children? And I also asked Xiao Tang, and he said that the reserves of this mining area are limited, and the geological structure is not very good. Stable, if you dig too fast, the mountain will collapse."

Hearing what Lao Hu said, several people stopped talking, but nodded their heads in agreement.

After all, it is true that everyone came out to work for their wives and children. As for the saying that mines should not be dug too much, these rough men don't understand very well. Among them, only Lao Hu had worked as a miner before, and the little Tang they mentioned was The only one among them who studied geological exploration was also the reason why they dared to contract the mine.

It was Xiao Tang who studied the distribution of ore veins in the mine before and told them how to dig to get more ore, so that they could dig up more than 100 tons of ore a day.

Otherwise, relying on themselves alone, even with the mining equipment provided by the state, it is already the limit to be able to dig eighty or ninety tons a day, and the standard of one hundred tons requires women to go to the mine to help.

So when Xiao Tang said that we should not dig too much, everyone had no opinion.

As for the fact that Lao Hu wants to exchange ore for greenhouses instead of living quarters, everyone can understand that it is indeed more important to let the children eat better and improve the food.

They are now living on the industrial ship. Although the cabins are indeed a bit narrow, everyone lives in a bit crowded, and life is not very convenient, but they can live in anyway, and the insulation and heating effects of the industrial ship are good, there is nothing wrong with it. uncomfortable place.

Wanting the living quarters is nothing more than they want to live in a better place.

But to be honest, Lao Hu himself really wants the living quarters provided by the state, because it does look very comfortable.

The so-called living quarters adopt a comprehensive design similar to prefabricated houses and container houses. A living quarter is ten meters long and six meters wide, divided into upper and lower floors. It has various functions and is completely an integrated residence. It can accommodate 3-5 people.

Lao Hu and his group exchanged about ten living cabins, which is enough for everyone to live in. After all, a few single boys can squeeze together.

The ore dug by Lao Hu and the others, in addition to the part of the state’s commission, the remaining ore can be exchanged for one point per ton, and a living cabin costs 100 points, and there is a deluxe version of the living cabin, which will be 20 points more expensive.

For Lao Hu and the others, it is not impossible to change one set for one person, and it is basically enough to work hard and save for two months.

However, the ecological greenhouse that Lao Hu wants to replace is much more expensive. A greenhouse costs 500 points, not to mention growing melons, fruits and vegetables, and using water tanks and breeding boxes to raise some fish and poultry, which can meet the food needs of about 50 people. .

It's just that the ecological greenhouse needs additional heating and power supply. The equipment on the industrial ship can't afford an ecological greenhouse. They have to spend an extra amount of points to exchange for supporting equipment.

Everyone can understand this very well at that time. In fact, heating and power supply equipment are also in their plan, and everyone has gathered together to discuss and set the regulations before.

It's just that now that you have a little points in your hand and you can live a good life, it's inevitable that everyone has some new ideas and thinks about living better.

There is nothing wrong with this, after all, a group of people live a safe life in the refuge, but when they come out to contract the mine, what they want is to rely on their own efforts to live a better life.

Now that better days are approaching, everyone naturally hopes to improve their living conditions. There is nothing to say about this, including Lao Hu himself, who actually thinks the same way, but he thinks a little more.

The group returned to the industrial ship, took off the mining exoskeleton and dusty protective clothing, and then walked into the living area of ​​the ship and returned to their respective cabins.

It has to be said that mining exoskeletons and protective clothing are a great boon for miners who need to work underground.

If it was in the past, I am afraid that the first thing they did when they came up from the well was to take a bath to wash off all the dust and slag on their bodies.

Unlike now, as long as you take off your protective clothing, your body is basically clean, you can simply wash your face, and you can eat with your family.

The men who returned to their cabins sat down at the dining table. The women had already prepared meals for them. The family enjoyed dinner happily. Having dinner with your wife and children is already a taste of happiness.

The father asked about the child's homework today, and the wife told her husband about the trivial matters of the day, and the ordinary life was full of satisfaction and warmth.
