Chapter 1168: Pressing Forward

After breakfast, all the slaves were driven to Kalmar Mountain, not far apart.

Soon, everyone arrived at the mine and received their tools, which were simple as steel tongs and hammers.

Ye Nan was a little puzzled, what kind of mine is produced here?

How to mine with only these two tools?

Ye Nan's doubts were quickly answered, because there were more than a dozen newcomers such as Ye Nan, so the supervisor on the mine gave everyone a brief explanation.

It turns out that there is a rock formation in the middle of the Kalmar Mountains, and this rock formation produces a very rare ore, which is like a piece of obsidian, which is unevenly distributed in this ore layer.

The slave miners had to do a simple job, which was to smash the rock formations that had been blasted with explosives bit by bit, and look for the ore inside, because only the obsidian-like ore embedded in the rock layers was useful, and the others were completely useless stones.

This ore is named astral stone because of its appearance like a star's twinkle on the surface, and after the astral stone is refined, it will refine rare metals, which are used in many high-tech fields, such as aerospace equipment, space shuttles, missiles, etc., which are very expensive.

Hammering the steel drill into the huge rock, breaking it, and then knocking the small pieces of rock until it was the size of an apple, the work was laborious, but it was very monotonous, and naturally it was not difficult for Ye Nan.

"Hey man, how long have you been here?"

Ye Nan asked a man who was buried in hammering stones, Ye Nan noticed that this man had been for a while, his movements were very skillful, and very efficient, obviously he had been here for a while.

"Half a year."

The man glanced up at Ye Nan and replied casually, "Are you from Huaxia?" How did it end up here? ”

"I offended Katipf and was knocked out by him and thrown right here." Ye Nan replied, and asked rhetorically: "Apart from me, are there other Huaxia people here?" ”

The man shook his head, "No." ”

Ye Nan's heart sank, could it really be that he made a mistake?

After thinking about it, Ye Nan asked unwillingly: "But how did I hear that there is a Chinese here?" ”

The man glanced sideways at Ye Nan and shook his head: "Among the slaves who are miners on this construction site, there are indeed no other Huaxia people, if there is, I won't be blind, but ......"

"But what?"

The man turned his head and pointed into the distance: "But in addition to the miners, there is also a processing plant, if there are really Huaxia people, it may be there." ”

Ye Nan asked, "Processing plant?" What does that do? ”

The man explained: "As long as we find a star stone here, we will gather it together, and there will be a rock package on the outside, and we will send it to the processing plant, and we will remove all the rocks, and then the star stone will be cleaned and initially processed, smelted into rough blocks, and then sold to others." ”

Ye Nan nodded understandingly: "Preliminary processing, right, how many people are in the processing plant, if you want to go to the processing plant, is it possible?" ”

The man shook his head: "There are about forty or fifty people in the processing plant, and we don't have the slightest autonomy here, unless there are not enough people, they will not ask for people." ”

Ye Nan frowned: "How can I get in touch with the people in the processing plant?" ”

Without hesitation, the man replied, "Our residences are next to each other, but we are not allowed to move around each other on weekdays, and the only opportunity is every Sunday night, when we can move freely in the accommodation area, which is the only time we have to spare." ”

"Free time?"

The man nodded, with a bit of bitterness on his face: "Yes, we can move around casually this night, but there will be a lot of gunmen around to guard." ”

It's good to be able to move freely, but you have to figure out the situation before you make plans.

Today should be Friday, so it will only take two days to see the people in the processing plant.

Let's be a miner for two days with peace of mind.

The working hours are quite long, from about eight o'clock in the morning to nine o'clock in the evening, all the people were driven back to the dormitory, and the labor intensity is quite high, but for Ye Nan, this is really nothing, you must know that when Ye Nan was in the special training class before, he had a load of seventy or eighty kilograms for daily training.

Ye Nan's work efficiency is very high, everyone has baskets, and others are estimated to find about two baskets a day, but Ye Nan has half more than others, a full three baskets, which is the result of Ye Nan's hands.

He didn't want Elif to get into trouble with him, but he didn't want him to stand out.

In the blink of an eye, it was Sunday, and everyone was busy until six o'clock in the afternoon, and then they were rushed back to the station, and then they had dinner, and many people couldn't wait to run out.

Once a week, until 10 p.m. before going to bed, it's free time, which is the time when everyone looks forward to the most.

Although the holiday was short, there was no food, no wine, and even the activity area was limited to this residential area, but everyone was still very excited.

Freely!

Even if it is just a few hours, this feeling of freedom is enough to make people temporarily let go of their tired hearts.

Ye Nan had been waiting for this time for a long time, he finished eating in three or two bites, and walked out quickly, and before he walked out, Hilde followed quickly.

Ye Nan turned his head: "What are you doing with me?" ”

Hilde smiled, "I'll walk around with you." ”

Ye Nangang wanted to refuse, his eyes swept over the gunmen with guns, his heart moved, and he smiled: "Okay, I'm going to go around the place where the workers in the processing plant live and inquire about the situation." ”

"Okay."

Ye Nan had only walked a distance with his legs raised, when he suddenly heard a shout.

"Huaxia people, this way."

Ye Nan turned his head to see that in a shed, Eriif was sitting on a chair, with a glass of wine and a few plates of food in front of him, he seemed to be enjoying his dinner, and in front of him, four gunmen were standing, staring vigilantly at the slaves who were free.

Ye Nan frowned, turned around and walked towards Elif, Hilde hesitated for a moment and stopped.

Ye Nan walked in front of Eriv and stopped: "Mr. Erive, you called me?" ”

Eriv took the wine glass, shook it lightly twice, took a sip, looked at Ye Nan, and suddenly smiled: "Your physique is quite good, you can still complete more tasks than others after receiving ten whips, so I can't find a reason to clean you up." ”

Ye Nan was silent, his eyes had taken in the surrounding situation.

If you do it here, well, the table knife on the table is a good weapon, and the pistol on his waist can be easily snatched, these four gunners are not worried, but the heavy machine gun on the sentry tower thirty meters away is a problem......

Eriv looked at the silent Ye Nan, and suddenly smiled coldly: "Since your ability is good, then naturally you can't be measured by ordinary standards, starting tomorrow, four boxes of tasks a day, one less box, you will be whipped ten times!" ”
