Empress is a technical activity

sixty chapters

Understanding the reason for Hilde's silence at this time, Leon did not play tricks anymore, but stood beside Hilde seriously: "Then what should we do now?"

"Let's take a look first." Hilde leaned on the sofa, resting on his temple with one hand: "The current situation is still unclear."

Leon nodded, that's all he could do first.

Lunch at noon was opened very early. The largest private room in the hotel was full of dishes. When he saw Lyon's group coming, Pete quickly nodded and asked them to sit down.

Even from Bai Zheng's point of view, the dishes here can only be regarded as average, and there is no way to compare with the things in the imperial capital.Apparently, the people at the table didn't pay attention to the meal, and they filled their stomachs hastily. Leon discussed matters related to this inspection with Pete at the table.

The other party didn't expect to get to the point so quickly, the person in charge with a greasy face hurriedly picked up the handkerchief at hand and wiped his face, his eyes wandered and he didn't dare to look at Leon.

"Just tell me what you want." Leon tapped the table rhythmically with two fingers, clearly asking the other party to continue talking.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Pete simply broke the can and threw the current situation like beans down a bamboo tube.According to what he said, Hilde and the others learned that compared with the development speed planned by the Empire for planet e508, the actual mining intensity has far exceeded expectations, and the large-scale unknown land has not been accurately detected The next has been mined simply because of the rich resources it contains.

After hearing Pete's words, Leon roughly estimated the over-exploited part, sneered and interrupted the middle-aged man who was aggrieved and aggrieved to talk about the difficulty of mining minerals in the past two years: "I have a big appetite, such a large piece of fat Swallow it."

Pete froze at first, as if he couldn't use his hand to hold the handkerchief. After he realized it, he apologized to Leon: "I don't dare to touch the country's things, isn't this... Isn't this a practical need?"

Pete's fat hands were not very flexible, and he pulled out a fist-sized object from his pants pocket, and stuffed it into Leon's hand at the side.Leon looked down and saw that it was a rare honey-blue colloidal energy cluster. This thing has no practical use, but just because it is rare, it can be sold at a good price among nobles even in the imperial capital.

"A small gift is not a respect." Pete's fat face is full of flattery. The job of mining director has always been lucrative. Even if he spends some effort, he wants to keep it as much as possible.

Leon didn't say anything, and holding the energy ball didn't mean to strongly ask the other party to take it away. Pete knew that there was a door, and after he breathed a sigh of relief, he caught a glimpse of the tall man with a hat on the other side of Leon, his expressionless face seemed to be I'm looking over here.

Pete understood, and signaled Hilde with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone, the benefits are naturally shared by everyone, and you are indispensable."

Bai Zheng didn't say anything along the way, he should eat and drink, he only sighed in his heart when he heard this sentence.So people should talk less, and they don't know how they died when they hit the gun.

After lunch, Hilde left early without saying a word and went back to the hotel room, and the other two followed suit, leaving Leon alone in the private room to comfort the startled Peter in charge.

As for the actual situation of e508 mentioned by Pete just now, it is more serious than the situation reported to the imperial capital at that time.Within a month, there have been four or five accidents in which mines collapsed and miners were buried.

Whenever Leon mentioned the cause of the accident, Pete always hesitated to explain clearly, and only mentioned the unsubstantiated legend among the miners that there was something in the mine.

"Didn't you send someone to investigate?" Leon asked him.

"This... this." Pete still hesitated: "It's not easy to investigate, after all, there have been so many accidents, and no one wants to go down..."

Leon nodded.He didn't say anything, the real national rights holder is here, so he naturally has his own way of dealing with it, so he doesn't need to worry about it.

On the other side, after returning to the room, Hilde still sat on the sofa in the same posture as when he came here without making any movements.Du Jin didn't have a computer, so he found a single sofa and huddled aside, and didn't take the initiative to speak.

Bai Zheng sat at the table, took a few mouthfuls of biscuits, and couldn't take it anymore, walked up to Hilde and grabbed the two armrests of the sofa with both hands: "You are enough, why don't you be so silent, that fat man It seems that the corrupt officials removed him and replaced him with a new one, isn’t it enough for you?”

Hilde raised his eyes slightly and looked at Bai Zheng inexplicably: "What do you want to say."

"Talking about you!" Bai Zheng couldn't take it anymore: "If you don't say a word and pretend to be a statue, isn't it a problem with the frontier star? You——"

"You think too much." Seeing Bai Zheng talking more and more vigorously, Hilde interrupted him with black lines all over his face: "It's just the first time I got bumped on a civilian train and got a headache."

Bai Zheng rolled his eyes, who would believe it?

"Hey, I'm back!" Leon kicked open the not-so-sturdy room door, and strode in with a large bag of things.Walking to the table in two or three steps, Leon put down the big bag that was just on his shoulders: "It took me a lot of effort to avoid the things that fat man found."

"What is it?" Bai Zheng leaned forward to look curiously, and found that it was a bag of e508's most common miner's uniform.

"What are you looking for?" Bai Zheng looked at Leon inexplicably.

Leon nodded Hilde who was sitting on the side with his chin: "Your Highness means that only by penetrating into the enemy's grassroots can we grasp the most authentic information."

……

So this guy is really not depressed because of the poor management of his own country?Bai Zheng glanced at Hilde from the corner of his eye, but was seen by the sharp-eyed blond man.The corners of Hilde's mouth curled up slightly, and he tilted his head slightly and looked back at Bai Zheng with a smile.

whispering sound!Bai Zheng snorted disdainfully, the corners of his mouth almost turned up to the sky, hello!It's amazing to pretend to be deep!

After noon, they didn't know what Leon and Pete had said, but the person in charge who made such a fuss never appeared in front of them again.The group rested for a while, and soon left the hotel through the back door and went to the largest mining area of ​​e508, which was also the area with the most accidents during this period.

No. fi002, the mining area just started to be developed years ago, because a large amount of high-purity silver ore was discovered, which can be directly converted into energy, so the development started only after a simple agreed plan.

This is what Lyon learned here. During this period, the emperor has not received any notice about the mining of this land. Obviously, it is another privately developed area.

The road to fi002 was very long, and the group took two or three hours on an old-fashioned train to the construction site to arrive.The condition of the construction site was far worse than where they had just arrived. Even if there was no wind, dust floating in the air could still be seen all over the sky.In the tavern next to the construction site, the walls of the house are all earthy yellow.

I walked around casually and experienced many accidents where miners disappeared. Most of the workers were no longer willing to continue working. Along the way, there were passive strike workers everywhere, and some of them were tough, forming gangs and arguing with the foremen. , Asking for an explanation, the results are often unsatisfactory, and the protest demonstrations have not really threatened anyone.

After a cursory inspection, it was almost dinner time, and everyone returned to the small restaurant at the beginning, found a seat and sat down.The miners have long been accustomed to the disgrace of themselves and the people around them through their hard work every day. Such work makes people feel depressed.

In such an environment, Hilde and Leon are particularly conspicuous, and every guest who comes in can't help but glance at Bai Zheng's table curiously, and more importantly——

"Who can tell me why we all wear miner's clothes, only this one is not used?" Bai Zheng pointed angrily at Hilde who was wearing a long black trench coat. Among the ashen-haired crowd, he stood out extremely.

"Because Your Highness said that this kind of clothes is not in line with his taste in dressing." Leon lowered his voice and told Bai Zheng, while shrugging helplessly.

Bai Zheng knew that it was useless to tell Leon about this kind of thing, so he simply went directly to Uncle Hilde who was sitting on the side: "Can't you get along with a group?"

"If you think wearing the same low-grade clothes is gregarious, I'm sorry I can't do it." Hilde took a sip of the poor-quality tea on the table, then frowned, put the cup back on the table and pushed out far away.

Bai Zheng forgot that no matter how the relationship between the two of them changes, even if he doesn't have to be afraid of Hilde like before, Hilde, he is still a gentleman by nature.

Bai Zheng, who didn't read much since he was a child, has already given up negotiating with him. He just relaxes and eats his coarse grain bread quietly. Let's call the hard stone-like thing in his hand bread.

Just as Bai Zheng took a bite of the bread and chewed hard, Du Jin No. 12 pulled up the sleeves of his clothes that were too long and too big. The clothes Leon got were all the models of adult miners. It's not a little bit big.

Because the sleeves keep falling off, Du Jin hasn't been able to take a few mouthfuls until now.Leon took advantage of the situation and grabbed a small piece to feed it. Obviously, Du Jin didn't even give him a glimpse.

The flattery patted the horse's leg.

Bai Zheng rolled his eyes, beckoned to Du Jin for him to extend his hand.Bai Zheng put down Du Jin's sleeves and smoothed them out, then rolled them up layer by layer like an ordinary worker, until the elbow was slightly exposed, which would not interfere with his eating, nor would he reveal the otaku His white arms looked too ostentatious.

After both sides were rolled up, Du Jin withdrew his hand and looked around, which was indeed much more convenient.

"Thank you." The otaku thanked him and began to eat his own bread.Seeing that he could not take advantage, Leon said sourly: "I didn't expect you to have this skill. I wonder if you have done it for our Highness?"

Sour you to death.Bai Zheng didn't bother to pay attention to him, and was about to continue eating dinner but was interrupted by a loud noise at the door.
