Chapter 14 Water Seepage (2)

An Xiaoyu was already sitting on her bed at this time. Although the bed was temporary, it could still give her endless comfort. In such an empty room, she could not hear any sound or see any scene. She knew that a storm had already started not far from this quiet corner, and the man she had first loved was in the center of the waves.

This was a great torture for a girl who had just grown up. She stood up in the room, sat down, stood up again, sat down again, and repeated, and her unstoppable mood kept doing useless work with her body.

She suddenly remembered Zhang Shujie. After leaving the tribe, she made her first friend. She disappeared in the quiet afternoon that day, thinking about it today, which made her feel so powerless. An Xiaoyu suddenly began to worry in her heart. This worry became more intense and real in the delusion of ignorance.

After wandering around the house, An Xiaoyu wanted to go back and look at Chi Mo, but she didn't have the courage. She clearly remembered that her father once taught her: "When men go out to hunt, women should sit at home and wait, so that men can do their best when hunting."

Obviously, this was not a hunting scene, but it was a scene that required everyone to do their best, so An Xiaoyu suppressed his anxiety and did not step out of the room.

However, things were not as simple as she imagined. As Chi Mo had foreseeed, this beast tide was not as simple as the double threat from the ground and the air. Although the situation outside was tense, under such a tense situation, an amazing upheaval began to occur inside the seemingly peaceful and safe base.

The first thing I discovered was a miner named Chu Sui.

The miners of the Three Thousand Empires are not as cheap as people imagined and have low labor and low status. In the mining industry of the Three Thousand Empires, miners occupy an important position. With the increasing scarcity of the reserves of surface minerals and the implementation of the Donghuang Resource Development Strategy, the demand for miners to conduct complex operations under extreme conditions is getting higher and higher.

Moreover, due to the continuous improvement of the training process and the increase in safety protection, miners can not only obtain the state-approved drug physical fitness improvement, but also enjoy many high subsidies and insurances. The probability of mine disasters continues to decline. Many young people from the imperial world, who are not skilled, have chosen such an industry in order to support their families and earn their first pot of gold.

Chu Sui is such a young man.

Chu Sui, who was 20 years old, was born in a small county town in the intersection of the Donghuang Desert and Dongyun in Lin Province. He had an ordinary family, had poor learning, had no skills, and had no foundation for his career. When he failed the national exam and found that he could only get into an ordinary university and might not even find a job, he wandered around in despair and saw the advertisement of the Donghuang Base recruiting miners.

After finding the Donghuang Affairs Management Office and consulting the conditions and treatment of miners at the resource base, Chu Sui was moved. After discussing with his family, he signed up for the miner training.

The miners at the Donghuang Resource Base are not healthy, young and strong, and can take office with normal IQ. Some people seem to be as strong as cows, but if placed in extreme environments, they are even more likely to have sudden illness than an old man; while some people are very adaptable, but if they have to mine similar actions for a long time, they will cause great damage to their bodies; some are even spies trained by the countries of the Western Union. Although they are not human races, they are mostly mixed races, which makes people unable to tell.

Therefore, all people who register for miners must first go through a batch of selections, and those who do not meet the conditions for working in the East Wilderness for a long time and those with suspicious identities must be eliminated. The rest must be improved in their bodies and undergo medical treatments for up to six months of basic knowledge and practical operation training before they can be called a junior miner apprentice.

Chu Sui has been working in this base for nearly two years. As long as he works for another year, he can obtain the qualification to apply for a job transfer or resign, apply to his superiors for a job change or directly take money and leave to start his own business.

This young man full of dreams often looks forward to bringing the expensive wages he earned in the past three years, returning to his hometown, and opening a high-end electronic products - a rare store in the small county where he lives. With this vision, he can complete his day with a hundred times passion and energy after getting up every morning, and quickly break away from his apprenticeship.

At this moment, Chu Sui, as the team leader, led a team of eight miners to walk towards a winding downward mine cave. Their task this afternoon was to examine the mineral conditions at the bottom of the mine cave to judge whether to continue digging downward.

He took his teammates down carefully. With his rich experience in mines, they quickly reached the bottom of the mine. After the division of labor, each person was responsible for mineral surveying in one direction, which was actually to insert the detector on the ground and wait for the detection results. After the detection results came out, they just needed to take the instrument back to analyze.

But when Chu Sui held the instrument in his hand and used all his strength to insert the probe into the ground, he suddenly found that the ground of the mine cave, which originally contained copper ore and was extremely far away, was not as hard as the ground they usually encountered, but was like a ball of sand.

He wondered, reached out to touch the entire ground, but only felt wet. Chu Sui frowned, feeling that things were not simple. He pulled out the instrument, bent down, and his ears were pressed to the ground. He sounded carefully, and he could hear the roar of the ground water flowing, and the sound was not blurry.

Chu Sui was shocked. He stood up and felt something big was going to happen. He had never encountered such a situation before. His mind was blank. He tried his best to recall what he taught during the training. When a large mine disaster was about to happen or had already happened, how should he save himself? How should he save his teammates? But these memories have been wiped out in two years.

He looked at his teammates who were still working around him with sweat. With a lucky heart, he thought of going back to report the engineer's situation immediately. While he felt relieved, he suddenly felt that his soles of his feet were pushed by a soft thing.

What? Chu Sui stepped on his feet hard, but he didn't expect that the feet were actually quite elastic, and it looked like he was stepping on a water balloon. Wait! Water balloon?

Chu Sui's face turned blue in an instant. He didn't dare to move anymore. He called his teammates nervously twice. All of them stood up and looked at him for no reason. He didn't know what happened to make his face look so bad.

"What's wrong? Lao Chu, aren't you damn it?" Teammates laughed and joked.

He couldn't laugh at all, and swallowed hard, and he said, "The mine has seeped water, run away!"

Several people stared at him with wide eyes and looked at each other for a long time. They finally confirmed that what Chu Sui was talking about was not a joke. Several people shouted strangely and ran away.

Just after Chu Sui took his feet away and everyone ran away only ten meters away, the ground that was originally bulging like a water balloon began to gush out. After the gravel was sprayed, there was a spring still enlarged by the impact. The surging groundwater rushed out of the ground with anger and wailing, spraying more than ten meters, hitting the top of the high cave in the mine, splashing around.

Soon, the bottom of the mine cave was flooded with water. The rapid and crazy-growing water flow rushed into the mine track with gravel of large sizes. It quickly caught up with Chu Sui and his men, flooded their feet, and soon spread to their necks. Countless undercurrents and vortexes made them unable to settle down. They could only scream and were taken away by the water flow for no reason, and finally disappeared into the darkness of the huge mine cave.

A huge alarm sounded in the base. Bai Amaranth was temporarily repairing the removed damaged mecha. As soon as she got off the bracket, she heard an alarm from the base. She reached out to grab the communicator, connected the control room, and asked loudly: "What happened?"

After hearing the reply, her face changed instantly. She turned her head and looked at Chi Mo who was still standing at the command post. Without thinking, she turned around and walked towards the inside of the base.

As soon as I opened the hatch door, Amaranth was knocked to the wall by a passing worker. The worker just glanced at it and didn't even have time to apologize. He continued to run forward, shouting loudly to the people in front of him, "Hurry up and bring life ropes and diving equipment, how much can you save, and you guys, go quickly...    ..."

The workers left, and the shouts were drowned in the constant footsteps. Bai Amaranth calmed down and ran towards the control room.

The control was already in chaos, and warnings kept flashing on the huge screen. Each warning appeared to mean that a cabin door had been broken by the huge water pressure gushing out from the ground, and could no longer be switched through the system.

The squad leader on duty in the control room saw the arrival of amaranth and quickly stepped forward to report the situation: the large amount of groundwater seeping out of the resource layer had impacted most of the mine pits, and only some mines that emerged horizontally were spared because of the complex structure of the mine. Almost all the workers working in the mine pit were involved in this long mine disaster. A large amount of groundwater was rushing in, thinking that the living area was coming. If the water seepage in the gaps in the building could not meet the relief of water pressure, the passage of the area would be the first to be blasted and collapsed.

"Team leader Bai, what should I do?"

"Team leader Bai, what do you think should I do?"

"Team leader Bai...    ..."

Bai Amaranth stared at the electronic control circuit of the hatch door that was constantly turning red. She suddenly turned around and said to the control squad leader: "Change out the overall schematic diagram of all the hatch doors, corridors and pipes on the underground floor and the ground floor!"

"Yes!" The squad leader responded, and his fingers lightly. A huge base was projected in the center of the control room, spreading the structure of the two central layers to amplify. Bai Yi continued to direct: "All control personnel will analyze immediately. By opening and closing the hatch door, part of the area will be abandoned for drainage. The remaining area will be sealed by the hatch door, and the water seeping out from the underground will be directly discharged to the ground."

"yes!"

Bai Amaranth carefully studied the overall structural diagram in front of him, constantly considering the possibility of any hatch door playing a role, constantly demonstrating and denying it in his mind, and the remaining control team members were also conducting various simulation verifications. However, since the groundwater was not detected in the early stage of the base construction, countless hatch doors had to temporarily find a solution for drainage, which was as difficult as climbing to the sky.

However, just when they were anxious and busy, a voice suddenly reported: "It's not good, the water has risen to the living area!"
