Chapter 579

For the seaport city of Pato, there is only one industry that has the greatest demand for low-level workers, and that is the seafood industry.

Of course, even seafood can be divided into many different types, such as marine life fishing, seabed mining, deep-sea salvage, etc., and these, in addition to deep-sea salvage, which must be led and executed by high technology, Most other industries require a large number of low-level workers to support them.

And what Turner did with Uncle Jack was an industry that required the most physical strength and was the most exhausting, but the rewards were not as generous as it was—seabed mining, which was also inherited from Uncle Jack’s father. Work.

Don’t pass Uncle Jack, Turner walked along the road that he had been walking for nearly 10 days, and soon arrived at the place where he went to work. This is just a temporary construction site. After finishing their respective equipment, take a railcar along the deep-sea tunnel all the way into the mines located under the deep sea to work.

I have been working here for nearly 10 days, and Turner is also familiar with the way. After punching the card at the door, he went in, arrived at his locker, and started to change equipment. Workers passing by from time to time would all smile and punch. Hello, although he has not been here for a long time, it may be because of the natural reason of being "dumb", and he is a hardworking person who is also quite simple and honest, so the relationship with everyone is quite good.

After changing the equipment on the left and right, and waiting there for a while, Uncle Jack hadn't come yet, but the deputy foreman beside him had already started to urge him, so Turner and several other workers went into the tunnel entrance and got on the new track car.

The speed of the rail car is very fast, and you can clearly feel a large downward slope. As you move forward, the altitude drops rapidly. If you are an ordinary person, you will already have tinnitus, flatulence, and motion sickness. Only those old workers who have been here for many years, and guys with a perverted physique like Turner can bear it.

Soon, perhaps because the tunnel has entered the bottom of the seabed, the slope finally eased, and at the same time the speed of the rail car increased again. From here, under the illumination of those dim lights along the way, one can already see one after another. Bottomless passages, these are former mines. The minerals in them were discarded after being collected, and people continued to explore and mine. Slowly, such a long road was formed. It is the deep tunnel of this passage.

Turner kept his eyes closed all the way, until the timeline in his mind had passed for more than half an hour, and then slowly opened his eyes. Almost at the same time, the rail car also began to slow down slowly and arrived at the construction site.

The workers stepped off the rail car one after another, and immediately other deputy foremen came up to meet them, orderly assigning the workers into various mines, but when they arrived at Turner, when the deputy foreman finished allocating the mines, he did not immediately Instead, he gestured to the deputy foreman.

That is not professional sign language, but some simple gestures, but after getting along these days, everyone basically understood what he meant. The deputy foreman immediately understood the gestures and said with a smile: "You mean Mr. Jack? I wonder why he didn't come with you today, don't worry, when he comes, I will assign him to go with you. "

Turner smiled gratefully, stopped being troublesome, and walked quickly to the mine he was assigned to.

Although the mining operations at this time were not as in ancient times, requiring workers to tap and dig with mine picks, they also required workers to have considerable physical strength. First of all, they used mechanical excavating tools to mine, and workers were needed here. With considerable physical strength and technology, it is possible to well control this single-person mechanical tool, according to the wishes of the worker, in a certain direction, how deep to dig, and so on.

After the ore is dug out, the workers need to put the ore into the rough extraction machine equipped in each mine for initial extraction and screening. At the same time, when performing this step, the workers need to open the following Record who collected the ore. After completing this step, the ore formed can be considered up to standard and can be transported out on the conveyor belt.

A worker works at least 6 hours a day, and the specific time can be allocated by the worker himself. At the same time, each worker has a minimum collection amount every day. If it is lower than this amount, the salary will be cut according to the lack of amount.

Turner skillfully used the mechanical excavation tools, and started what he had to do every day for the previous 10 days. After about half an hour, the first batch of raw ore had been produced on Turner's side. Just as he was about to process it in the rough extractor, the familiar sound of footsteps came to his ears, and then Uncle Jack appeared in Turner's vision.

Obviously, the communication with the foreman went very smoothly, and the foreman obviously also affirmed the matter of increasing Turner's salary, so Uncle Jack's steps became a little brisk, and the card was always full of sternness. There was a smile on the weather-scarred face, and he came over and patted Turner on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Foreman is also very sure of your job, so he is willing to increase the original salary by another [-]%. Quite a big improvement, boy, get on with it."

The workers next to him immediately cast envious eyes upon hearing the words, pure envy, without complicated content such as jealousy and hatred. The minds of these people living at the bottom of society are not so complicated. The recognition of the work done makes them just pure envy and congratulations.

Turner smiled lightly, and stretched out his arms to hug Uncle Jack to express his gratitude. Uncle Jack was also rarely mean. He hugged Turner with his backhand, and then began to deal with his own equipment, saying at the same time: "Okay, hurry up Let's do some work, your Aunt Ruth happens to cook something delicious at noon, so it's a celebration for you."

Turner carried the ore he had just excavated to the rough extractor, stuck the work card on the card reader of the instrument, and then put the ore in from the big mouth above the machine.

Soon, the crude extractor began to make a "beep, beep, beep" sound, and at the same time the whole instrument began to shake, as if some animal had a bad stomach and could not digest it.

After about 2 or 3 minutes like this, the sound stopped and the shaking disappeared. Then, the ore that had been preliminarily processed was spit out from the outlet on one side of the instrument and transported out of the mine on the conveyor belt, while the other mouth on the other side also At the same time, it spits out something, which is the waste after the extraction is completed.

Turner didn't leave immediately, but came to the pile of scraps, picked them carefully for a while, then put a small part of them in his pocket, and then turned back to continue working.

His move did not cause any reaction. In fact, any miner would do this, because many of the waste materials can still extract some minerals, but the purity is very low, but after they bring them back, they can use some ancient methods It is another small income to extract these minerals and sell them out. Therefore, recycling waste has become a daily routine for workers. Even what Turner did was specially taught by Uncle Jack.

Of course, Turner didn't do this for the money, but for the...

The No. [-] machine that he hid in the sea!
