Chapter 760

Lao Hu and his companions came out of the mine and looked up at the sky. It was getting dark at dusk.

"Lao Hu, how much did we dig today?" a companion walked up to Lao Hu and asked him about today's work results.

Not all of their dozen men went down to the mine. Only eleven people really worked underground, and three people were responsible for handling the ore they dug up.

"I have to ask them, but they should have dug more than 100 tons today?" old Hu shook his head, and he could only estimate the approximate quantity.

Before the disaster, small iron mines of this scale contracted by them could dig about 20-50 tons of ore a day.

While Lao Hu and his team have greatly improved their production efficiency by relying on the drill bit on the industrial ship and the mining exoskeleton provided by the state.

Digging out more than 100 tons of ore a day is not an exaggeration.

"The standard set by the state for us is to dig 100 tons a day, and the extra is our own. It seems that this period of time has not been in vain!" another man said happily with a happy smile, and he did not forget to ask Lao Hu: "Lao Hu, what do you say we should exchange these minerals for? How about we change a living cabin? The cabin on the ship is still too small, and the family is still a little cramped to live together."

"What kind of living quarters do you want? If I say, just change a new set of mining equipment. The mining area we contracted is still very large. We can open another sub mine and dig more is serious!" another person obviously has different opinions. He hopes to have more equipment, dig more mines and earn more income.

This is a very simple idea, which can be called an idea, but Lao Hu shook his head.

"I've thought about it. This month, I'll find the state to change an ecological greenhouse to let women grow some vegetables, melons and fruits and improve the food for the children. It's all when they grow up. It's no good not to eat better." Lao Hu's idea is simpler, but also more far sighted: "Don't we work so hard just to make life better for our wife and children? And I asked Xiao Tang. He said that the reserves of this mining area are limited and the geological structure is not very stable. If we dig too fast, the mountain will collapse."

When Lao Hu said this, several people stopped talking and nodded their heads in agreement.

After all, everyone did come out to work for his wife and children. As for the fact that the mine can't dig more, these old men don't know very well. Among them, only Lao Hu had worked as a miner before, and the Xiao Tang they mentioned was the only one of them who studied geological exploration, and it was the confidence that they dared to contract the mine.

It was Xiao Tanghua who studied the distribution of ore veins in the mine and told them how to dig more ore, so that they could dig more than 100 tons of ore a day.

Otherwise, even if they have mining equipment provided by the state, they can dig 80 or 90 tons a day, which is the limit. The standard of 100 tons requires women to go to the mine to help.

So when Xiao Tang said we couldn't dig more, everyone had no opinion.

As for Lao Hu's need to exchange minerals for greenhouses instead of living quarters, everyone can understand that it is really important to let the children eat better and improve their food.

They now live on the industrial ship. Although the cabin is a little narrow, everyone lives a little crowded, and life is not very convenient, they can always live. Moreover, the thermal insulation and heating effect of the industrial ship is good, and there is no uncomfortable place.

If they want a cabin, they just want to live better.

But to tell the truth, Lao Hu himself really wants the living cabin provided by the state, because it really looks very comfortable.

The so-called residential cabin adopts a comprehensive design similar to the trap house and container house. A residential cabin is ten meters long and six meters wide. It is divided into upper and lower floors with complete functions. It is completely an integrated house, which can accommodate 3-5 people.

Lao Hu and his group can exchange about ten living quarters, which is enough for everyone to live in. After all, several single boys can squeeze together.

Apart from the part extracted by the state, the rest of the ore dug by Lao Hu can be exchanged for a ton of points, while a living cabin needs 100 points, and the luxury version of the living cabin will cost 20 points.

For Lao Hu and his family, it's not that they can't afford to change one set for each person. It's basically enough to save for two months.

However, the ecological greenhouse Lao hu wants to change is much more expensive. A greenhouse with 500 points can grow fruits and vegetables. Not to mention, it can also use water tanks and breeding boxes to raise fish and poultry to meet the food needs of about 50 people.

Only the ecological greenhouse needs additional heating and power supply. They can't afford an ecological greenhouse by relying on the equipment on the industrial ship. They have to spend more points to exchange for supporting equipment.

In fact, the heating and power supply equipment were also included in their plan. We had gathered together to discuss and set rules before.

But now that you have some points in your hand, you can live a good life. You can't help but have some new ideas and think better.

This is understandable. After all, a group of people put a safe life in the shelter. However, when they came out to contract the mine, they wanted to live a better life by their own efforts.

Now that the good days are near, everyone naturally hopes to improve their living conditions. There's nothing to say, including Lao Hu himself. In fact, he thinks more.

The party returned to the industrial ship, took off their mining exoskeleton and dusty protective clothing, and then entered the living area of the ship and returned to their cabins.

It has to be said that mining exoskeleton and protective clothing are a great gospel for miners who need underground operation.

If it had been put before, I'm afraid the first thing they did when they went up to the well would have been to take a bath and wash away the dust and slag.

Unlike now, as long as you take off your protective clothing, you are basically clean. Simply wash your face, you can eat with your family.

The men who returned to their cabins sat down at the table. The women had already prepared meals for them. The family ate dinner happily. Although it was only a simple meal, it was a happy taste for men who had worked hard all day to have dinner with their wives and children.

The father asked the child about today's homework, and the wife told her husband about the triviality of the day, which was also full of life satisfaction and warmth.
