After rebirth in the end of the world, I cut off all love and hoarded goods desperately
Chapter 370 Energy Pool
After Xia Ji, Xia Qing and others successfully reunited, they headed directly towards the trading mine. They drove at the fastest speed because there were dark clouds over the sea, which was very scary. It didn't rain, but there was a slight breeze. Everyone was very nervous and anxious.
Fortunately, they quickly entered the opponent's patrol range, contacted the people here in the storm, and entered their nuclear submarine.
The captain here did not show up, only two white non-commissioned officers received them and asked about their presence.
Xia Ji could only say that they were the first team to arrive here to learn about the mineral conditions here, and that more team members would arrive later.
The person who received them didn't say much, just asked them to wait until the storm was over before taking a submarine into the base for inspection.
The wait lasted for two days. The wind and waves on the sea roared for two days and two nights. After it eased a little, Xia Ji and his team waited another night before boarding the submarine and heading to the underwater base.
The distance was quite far, and they sailed for nearly eight hours before they dived deep into the seabed and entered the bottom of the sea.
Xia Ji transferred Xia Qing and Meng Yu to his side. After entering the base, he carefully observed the facial expressions of the two people and did not see any problems.
But the more there seemed to be no problems, the more Xia Ji's intuition told him that these two people must be hiding something from him.
Xia Qing and Meng Yu were brought up by Xiao Yi. They had excellent psychological qualities and it was not difficult for them to deal with his inquiries.
But according to what they said, they fainted on the ship that captured them, and when they woke up, all the crew members on the ship were gone, leaving only them and other team members. This statement is actually ridiculous.
This was the only answer they gave, and they said it with great confidence. Xia Ji smiled and said he believed her.
After entering the base, they did not waste any time and immediately asked someone to take them to the mine to check the situation.
The white leader took them there. Xia Ji and the others stood at the entrance of the cave and looked for a long time. Besides feeling a little uncomfortable, they couldn't see what was going on below the cave. It was really too deep.
They wanted to send someone down to take a look, and the white leader also wanted to send them down, but the lift had not been repaired yet and could not descend.
Xia Ji looked a little strange when he heard this: "What about the people down there? Don't they need to come up? We don't feel comfortable standing at the entrance of the cave. The workers mining inside the cave must be in a worse environment, right?"
The team leader had received instructions from above and knew how to answer: "Since we decided to trade the mining rights of this mine with you, we have withdrawn the workers here and stopped mining. Once the terms are negotiated and the contract is signed, this mine will be yours. You can decide for yourself."
Xia Ji frowned. What the other party said sounded nice, but from what he saw, what the other party gave was more like a mess.
Unable to go down to the mine, he didn't worry too much and took his men away from there and then familiarized himself with the situation in the base.
The guards in the base were very vigilant and ignored their questions and inquiries. The people who received them only responded to some of the questions that could be answered. When asked more comprehensive and in-depth questions, they all kept silent.
After half a day, Xia Ji and his colleagues' work was not progressing smoothly, and his confidants felt that there was a big problem here.
Xia Ji was not surprised: "No problem, they won't send us out easily. There is no surveillance equipment here, this alone makes it convenient for us to act. After finishing the surface work, we can rest for a while, and then explore secretly."
Five days later, when the other three warships arrived here, Xia Ji and others went out to report and had more or less grasped some of the situation.
"There was a riot at this base eight days ago. The exact origin of the riot is unclear, but many smoke bombs and poison gas bombs were dropped on the base at that time. After the riot was quelled, many of their own people died, but no infiltrators were found. And since that day, their base leader has never appeared again. Then, white people entered the base to take over the affairs.
According to this time calculation, we immediately received the West's agreement to cooperate and willingness to trade this place.
We also found out that all the warehouses in the base were suddenly emptied. This was discovered when they were searching for the enemy after the riot was quelled. At the same time, an order was issued to block the area around the light energy mine, and no one except the dedicated guards was allowed to approach.
These things happened within an hour after the riot was quelled, and the leader inside told us that they had evacuated all the miners, but the information we found out was that no one had left there at all.
That person told us that the workers who went down into the mines never came out again. The conditions in there were extremely bad, and many people turned into monsters. Once they went in, they could only stay there until they died, and no one had ever come out.”
Xia Ji told them all the information they had collected in the past few days. The management in that base seemed strict on the surface, but in fact, as long as the benefits offered made them tempted, there were still many things they could ask.
Captain Zhao was not surprised when he heard the news. "The light energy ore itself has a huge amount of energy. Our staff only studied a small piece and were very careful. Even so, they were burned and had their eyes damaged. What's more, the workers who went down to the mine, if nothing unexpected happens, they may all be gone."
Xia Ji thought so too. When he learned about these situations, he felt very sad for a while.
"I just don't know who caused the chaos in there?" Captain Zhao's voice sounded again, and then he asked and answered himself: "It should be a group or a person with great ability, and it is very likely that they are friends rather than enemies."
Xia Ji listened silently without saying anything. He also had some associations in his mind, and he also tried Xia Qing and Meng Yu, but to no avail.
The initial progress of the cooperation was very smooth. After Captain Zhao received the news, he sent the professional survey team that came with him into the base to understand the internal situation of the mine.
But they soon encountered a problem. Through calculations, they found that the temperature inside the mine was so high that normal people could not go down to work, even with the protective clothing provided by the other party.
Moreover, the expedition team also had some knowledge about the light energy mine. They knew that its energy was enormous and very unstable, and other energy-assisted machinery could not be used in it. They simply could not go down to the mine in front of them.
After the problem was fed back, the Western side simply said that it was a problem they had to consider themselves.
This is actually quite treacherous. They only gave China the mining rights for one year. During this year, it is even a question whether the mining can be completed.
Like the West, they can't do such a thing as using human lives to fill the gap.
Soon, help came from the other side. The Western side said that they could provide them with three special mining robots, but the condition was that they wanted China's latest space immigration technology and plans.
In the space, Li Ke, who had been recuperating in the energy pool for half a month, finally grew new flesh and blood. After she opened her eyes and felt the familiar space environment, she slowly began to move.
Standing up from the glowing milky white energy pool, Li Ke picked up the clothes beside him and put them on.
This energy pool is a companion pool that has just grown near the black hole. According to the space consciousness, this pool was created entirely for her. It worked hard to grow it.
Li Ke felt that this was what it deserved. She was risking her life to mine for it, and neither of them was taking advantage of the other.
As if he was reborn and felt more powerful, Li Ke suppressed his satisfaction and prepared to go back to his own yard to see the three little ones.
Her mind moved slightly, and the place in front of her was no longer her own yard, but still the underground mine where she couldn't lift her feet. Five days had passed in the outside world.
The spatial consciousness in her mind replied to her that the light energy ore absorbed this time was used to generate an energy pool specifically for her to heal her injuries and regenerate her flesh and blood, so Li Ke still needed to continue working hard to mine.
Li Ke tried again to enter the space, or take things out, but still failed. The spatial consciousness indicated that it was still suppressed and could only help her with these.
Li Ke raised his middle finger to the void for a second, then bent down resignedly. Every second wasted here would add another second of pain to himself.
Fortunately, she is now full of strength, and has an energy pool that can revive her to full health and bring her many benefits.
