Be the savior from Frostpunk

Chapter 277 Some Thoughts

When the sun was about to emerge from the horizon, its swaying brilliance had already covered much of the ground, driving away the darkness.

The traveling merchants, who had not slept a wink all night, were waiting for the huge machine to reveal its full appearance.

The combination of heavy industrial style and all kinds of fine and rough gear parts constitutes such a terrifying mechanical creature. A pile of rubble has already been piled up behind it, and the rubble is even arranged according to their respective sizes. Not scattered.

As early as the first hour after the robot joined the rescue, all the people in the mine on the first floor had been rescued. The Thunder fighters went down the temporary stairwell dug by the robot and took the chain elevator all the way down, entering a deeper mine. level, rescue those trapped in the innermost one by one.

When their heavy power armor entered the ground through the searchlights and projected figures appeared in front of the survivors, the survivors wept with joy and trembled for it.

It seems that after all the people were rescued, the rescue team in New London did not seem to be planning to dismantle the rescue site and various structures. On the contrary, after confirming that all survivors were rescued, the giant robot actually started Excavating all the ore seams on the spot seems to be preparing to open a huge underground space below.

Li Jianghao yawned and came to the cliff at the top of the entire mine, estimating the size of the energy tower.

Well, the space and scope are suitable, and the place where the underground space is vertically downward is very fragile, while the surrounding area without ore layers is very stable, which is very suitable as a construction site for the energy tower.

But looking at the gradually exposed mineral deposits around him, Li Jianghao felt a little uncomfortable.

And these few days are the so-called production capacity review time, and only the personnel who routinely maintain the mine stay behind.

Thorne strolled over, and the soldiers in New London had already begun to build an intelligence collection system.

"Dear visitors from New London, we are the envoys of the Southern Kingdom. On behalf of the entire Southern Kingdom, we pay tribute to you and saved our people. However, this piece of land belongs to His Royal Highness the Second Prince of the Kingdom. If your country wishes to use this If you want to do something in this place, you can submit an application, and we will definitely consider it carefully and give an answer. But for now, please temporarily remove the buildings and, uh, that huge machinery built by your country. We still need to complete the property of the lord Count the orders. I hope you understand."

It wasn't until the messengers arrived that they saw with their own eyes that Thorn, who was nearly three meters tall, was standing on the edge of the cliff. Before he could catch his breath, he was almost frightened into cardiac arrest.

"The lords of this place don't have time to take care of these things. According to the information I know, their front line is almost unstoppable, and they urgently need the support of the southern kingdom. If this place is really a means for the dignitaries of a certain kingdom to seek personal gain, If we continue to investigate carefully, it may hinder the Southern Kingdom's support for the Lilith Territory."

"Of course you know that the more likely outcome of this situation is that it will be revealed. Under the premise that Lilith is facing being captured by a tide of beasts, it is obviously a bit confusing to track down an erring powerful person."

Thorn added, standing quietly in front of Li Jianghao.Consciously let everyone's attention be on him first.

Li Jianghao touched his nose and complained a little:

Thorne nodded slightly: "This is exactly the result I want. It seems that your opinion does not require me to say more."

Even in the absence of much reserves, they continue to pretend to mine new rock walls every day, and even prepare to dig down the third underground layer of mines.I really don't know who came up with such a deadly behavior. Even without the influence of the ancient dragon's battle, this iron mine would collapse sooner or later.

The iron ore here had been hollowed out a long time ago, as the traveling merchants had guessed.

Just in time for the chaos of the monster riot, all production organizations were included in the unified plan.

"Perhaps it is because this matter will become a stain and affect the future of some people."

The leading emissary made a full gesture respectfully, and his speech was reasonable without any overbearing, justified and well-founded.

Coincidentally, after all the maintenance personnel entered the mine, the collapse occurred without any warning or warning.

Older workers who could see danger were fired long ago.

The workers were arranged to stop work and resume work after the lord's production capacity review, providing metal mineral support for the front-line armament supplies.

"You look more and more like a political official, or a follower of Tzeentch. I know that my political ability is worrying. It's okay to care about some people. I have no experience in dealing with these crooked things. But , Thank you for thinking so much for me. Now that we have decided to provide industrial support for this place, then we don’t have to care about the idea of ​​the local kingdom. Anyway, when our caliber is justice all the way to the border of this world, They will make a choice. Or, leave this world."

"It seems that they are more anxious than us. It's just a small iron mine with little value. Is it worth their attention?"

Li Jianghao was thinking of responding, when there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and the emissary team from the Southern Kingdom, who hadn't had time to leave before, was coming here.

But it's all their reasoning.

It seems that the people working here are unaware of this situation. The workers here were all summoned from the northern wilderness half a year ago. Their daily work is to mine the stones that do not have much iron ore content and ship them out. .

Even so, the workers here sensed that something was wrong, and began to consciously slow down their work, and even prepared to report to the lord.

Thorne showed a mysterious smile, squatted down slightly, crushed a stone on the edge of the cliff with his bare hands, and showed it:

"Everyone, if normal production is followed, within two months, there will be a large-scale subsidence accident here, not just burying a few underground mines like last night. As far as I know, this kind of mine The production audit can detect the danger three to five years ago. Also, we don't seem to see any ore worth more than a gold coin being mined, and the warehouse is full of useless stone. Maybe your prince is not very good Care about the people, and don't care much about money, just like digging stones. Then I can understand."

The messenger was a little flustered, and hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, please be careful."

Thorne dropped the stone and said with a smile: "Speak carefully to your mother! It's a real human life. If that large-scale accident happened, thousands of people would die. I don't care if your prince is interested in digging up stones or you These subordinates use the banner of the prince for personal gain but dare not let others find out, or there are some deeper reasons for harming others and benefiting themselves. All I care about is that the guilty must be punished. Monsters wantonly plundering livestock will only The era that makes people fear will be abandoned by the new era sooner or later!"
