Chapter 306 2 years
In July of Guili, the temperature was extremely high, not to mention the underground mining area located in the abyss of rock.
The temperature even reached over 40 degrees. If the workers working here were not wearing special protective clothing, they would faint in a short while.
"Old Li, quickly control the excavator to finish digging this tunnel. Let's go back and rest."
"How can we take a break now?"
The man operating a small mineral excavator asked puzzledly.
"Hey, it's because the higher-ups are here to inspect. The Human King said that if the temperature in the underground mine exceeds 40 degrees, no work will be allowed."
Hearing this, Old Li cursed, "M.D., only those from above know how to let us rest. On normal days, unless the temperature is over 1950 degrees, they don't necessarily let us rest. They are just doing superficial work. When was this decree issued? I remember it was in in the Human King Calendar, which is almost years ago."
"Okay, stop cursing and get back to work."
"Okay, wait a few minutes. I'll go up with you after I finish digging this vein." Lao Li held the joystick with both hands and continued to dig the ore.
It's not just his place. In 1940 of the Human King Calendar, after the Demon God Guizhong invented the machine for converting thunder elements into electrical energy, or motor for short, various automated products have emerged like mushrooms after a rain. Now the mining excavator in Lao Li's hands is the most advanced third-generation excavator, which has an efficiency that exceeds that of a hundred humans working at the same time.
The gears at the front of the excavator continuously break up the ore and send it to the storage box at the rear.
"Boom!"
Just as the ore vein was about to be mined, Lao Li suddenly felt the excavator shaking. Thinking something was wrong, he leaned out of the window and saw a hole in front of the excavator.
"We hit a natural cave underground, what bad luck!" Old Li cursed in a low voice. He was thinking about controlling the excavator to retreat, but he heard a continuous roar. Spider-web-like cracks began to extend outward from the cave entrance, and then the ground suddenly cracked. Old Li was caught off guard and fell into the natural cave with the excavator.
The roar echoed throughout the underground mine area of the layer of rock. The Qianyan Army stationed here immediately responded: "A mining accident has occurred, hurry to rescue!"
On the other side, Lao Li, who fell into the natural cave, was confused for a while before he reacted. He touched his body and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay."
He pushed open the door and got off the excavator.
"How can I be so unlucky that I can find a natural cave and fall down while digging a tunnel. Old friend, please don't get hurt, or I can't afford to compensate you!"
Just when Lao Li was about to check his excavator, he suddenly discovered that there were more than a dozen people looking at him not far away.
"Huh?" This scene made Lao Li's scalp tingle. "Why are there people here? Isn't it forbidden to explore the area near the underground mine? And these people's clothes don't look like our Guili's clothes, nor do they look like Xumi's!"
Those people not far away stood in a circle. The people on the outer edge wore armor that had never been seen before, holding spears, shields, axes and other weapons, protecting the people inside who were wearing white robes.
The two sides just confronted each other quietly. Lao Li felt extreme oppression from these people, which made his brain go blank and he couldn't utter a word.
Suddenly, one of the people being protected spoke up: "Excuse me, are you a human on the ground? Is the machine behind you a tiller on the ground?"
The oppressive atmosphere disappeared, and Lao Li subconsciously took a breath, then replied: "I am a miner from Guili. This is not a tillage machine, but a third-generation tunnel excavator, which is specially used to open tunnels in underground mining areas."
"Oh?" The person had golden hair and pupils, a pretty face, and a wide white robe. Her golden eyes were full of curiosity. "Can you show me?"
"Lord Huangjin, the king has instructed us not to have too much contact with the creatures on earth." An armored warrior advised.
"It doesn't matter. Even if we don't make contact, Piero will come over to make contact once he finds out about this." Huang Jin said in a gentle voice, "Besides, the excavator on the other side is indeed more advanced than our tiller."
As he spoke, the man named Huang Jin took the initiative to leave the encirclement of the armored warriors, walked past Lao Li, and was about to touch the excavator.
"Hey, you can't touch this. This is a machine in Huishan Hall. You can't touch it without a permit. If it breaks, you will have to pay 600,000 Mora." Lao Li said.
"Six hundred thousand Moras, is that the currency unit of your Guili?" Huang Jin withdrew his hand and thought for a moment. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Rhinedot. I am an alchemist in the court of the Black Sun Dynasty of Kanreya. We hope you can introduce us to the ruler of Guili."
"Ah?" Old Li was stunned. "You want to see the Human King?"
"Human King, the King of Humankind?" Rhinedot pondered.
"Hey, is everyone down there okay?"
There was a sound coming from the huge gap above the cave, and then ten Thousand Rock Army soldiers jumped down.
“Qianyan Army! Qianyan Army!” When Lao Li saw the Qianyan Army, he seemed to have found a backbone. He hurried to the side of the Qianyan Army and pointed at Golden Rhinedot and said, “These people are from the Kanreya Black Sun Dynasty. The one named Rhinedot is the Kanreya court alchemist. He said he wants to see the King of Man!”
"Huh?" The captain of the Qianyan Army frowned upon hearing this. Looking at the group of warriors wearing armor that he had never seen before, he became alert: "Kan Ruiya, what is this place? I have never heard of it."
"Hello, soldiers of the Thousand Rocks Army. We, Kanreya, live in a free country underground without the rule of gods. For nearly two thousand years, we have never had any contact with humans on the ground." Rhinedot said with a smile.
The captain of Qianyan Army frowned tightly. He looked carefully at the woman in front of him. He could not sense any aura from the latter - this was the most vigilant point for him. At least it proved that the woman in front of him was more powerful than him.
After thinking for a moment, the captain of the Qianyan Army nodded and said, "Welcome, humans from the underground world. Please follow me to the surface."
Rhinedot was stunned for a moment, as if he did not expect that the Thousand Rocks soldier would agree so quickly. He thought the other party would hesitate.
But that’s fine too.
Then, under the leadership of ten Thousand Rock Army soldiers, this team from Kanreya left the natural cave and came to the underground mining area.
"This." Rhinedot looked at the circles of mining areas, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, "Are these all opened up by your excavator, Guili?"
"Not entirely. Before the year 1945 of the Human King Calendar, the Layered Rock Abyss was basically excavated by humans." The captain of the Thousand Rock Army replied, and then came to a truck and said, "Please get in."
"What is this?" Rhinedot asked again.
"Trophy trucks are specially used for transportation in the mining area." The captain of the Qianyan Army said this. Looking at Rhinedot asking questions, he felt dissatisfied and a little contemptuous.
The reason for his friendly answer was that he remembered what he had read in the manual when he first came here to take office: If you encounter a human who does not belong to the Seven Kingdoms, please treat him kindly and report the matter to the King as soon as possible.
