Chapter 257 A Hole After a Hole

"This [jet pack] is still slow, far worse than a helicopter."

"[The jetpack] is more convenient. You can turn around at any time in the air, and you can wear it for combat. However, it is indeed worse than a helicopter when flying long distances, let alone an airplane."

Shen Jin and Shang Qian landed at the Hongshui Bay base. The two stood on the Diaoyutai, looking at the place that had been away for a month, but it still looked so familiar.

The pink psychological consultation room on Diaoyutai was spotless. It seemed that Zhao Chao had someone clean it specially.

The four [Ore Washing Machines] on the beach have stopped operating.

Shen Jin opened the bottom [iron storage box], which was filled with washed minerals:

[Pure Iron Ore], [Pure Copper Ore], [Copper Sand], [Iron Sand], [Gold Powder], [Silver Powder], [Nickel Powder], [Gunpowder].

The ores, sands, and sludge collected from the seabed contain a lot of impurities. If you don't use a [washing machine] to separate them, what will be burned out will be an inexplicable [metallic compound].

Not only can it not be used for synthesis, but the material itself cannot be used to create things.

Commonly known as: scrap.

Shen Jin put four [iron storage boxes] filled with pure mineral raw materials into his backpack. Before he came out this time, he threw most of the resources into Home Base No. 1 in Q City, so he had plenty of room.

This time when he came to D City, Shen Jin was planning to recruit more money from the government. The recent construction of Home Base No. 1 consumed a lot of metal materials, and his materials were in short supply.

This month, the government must have opened up many places.

As long as a small part of the stored resources in D City, a former industrial city, can be given to him, it will be enough for him to build a large number of machines.

It's just that Shen Jin doesn't know if the D city government and dragnet still need an [extraction machine].

If it is really not needed, he still has wind turbines that can be exchanged.

However, Shen Jin only built in City D. He felt insecure if he went far away.

"Boss! Long time no see! You are finally back, hahaha~"

Zhao Chao ran over from the training ground next to him and held Shen Jin's hand tightly. His big hand was as warm as before.

After not seeing each other for a month, Zhao Chao, a 40-year-old man, has become much less restrained and has more of the aura of a superior person.

The environment shapes a person's temperament, and the butt determines the head.

"Old Zhao, you are getting younger and younger. He looks like a strong man in his 30s. Have your abilities improved recently?"

"A little bit, but not much. Boss, I think you are even more unfathomable."

Zhao Chao was still cordial when he came to Shen Jin, but the way he showed off to outsiders was immediately discarded. At his core, he was still the passionate retired instructor.

If the people at the Hongshuiwan base saw Zhao Chao, known as the cold-faced instructor, so enthusiastic and low-profile, they would probably be shocked.

More and more survivors have been rescued this month.

Moreover, under the deliberate guidance of the D city government, the survivors in Lukou District took the initiative to seek shelter at the Hongshui Bay Base.

There are currently more than 30,000 survivors in the Redwater Bay Base.

Before Shen Jin left, he had cleared a large enough area to host these survivors.

Zhao Chao also welcomes these compatriots. This is what he hopes to see most as a former veteran: to allow his fellow citizens in D City to live well.

Zhao Chao is an activist who cooperates with the government.

Shen Jin smiled and said: "My strength has indeed improved a bit compared to last time. I have some good things for you this time, which can help you to reach the next level of extraordinary peak."

"Good guy! Boss, you bring us surprises every time you come. Last time, you awakened 40 extraordinary beings at once, and this time you can improve our strength. It feels like everyone is being taken care of by you, haha!"

Zhao Chao is not polite to Shen Jin. He is Shen Jin's person. It is natural for the boss to help him improve his strength.

In this way, he can better protect this property for the boss and prevent troublemakers from appearing again.

"By the way, boss, I have something to tell you. Two of the weirdoes are not in peace. I want to give them the antidote. What will be the consequences if I don't take it?"

"Oh? There is a problem on your side too? It seems that the power controlled by the potion is still not stable. It is not as reliable as the people we screened out. We just solved the 14 rebellious extraordinary people in Q City yesterday. "Sir, there is a problem on your side too. Hey, why can't these people understand that if there is no antidote, they will die and die from the backlash of supernatural powers."

"What!? There are rebels in Q City? The two of us here have no rebellious intentions. They just couldn't control their desires and caused several vicious incidents. As a result, our extraordinary people's reputation in front of ordinary people was ruined. was affected”

Shen Jin patted Zhao Chao on the shoulder: "Old Zhao, if I'm not here, you will be the manager. People who threaten internal stability should be dealt with as soon as possible. Otherwise, people will lose their support and it will be difficult to lead the team."

"Okay! Boss, when we distribute the medicine today, I will have people control them. Kill one to serve as a warning to a hundred! No, kill two to serve as a warning to two hundred!"

"Well, you make arrangements. I'll go to the bottom of the sea to collect my machines first, and Shang Qian will follow you to see the inside of the base."

Shang Qian and Zhao Chao left. They still had the internal affairs of the base to deal with. Shen Jin didn't like to deal with that because it was too troublesome.

It’s both a system and an industry, which sounds overwhelming.

Shen Jin still likes to be a resource hoarder.

He came to the workshop, got on the [mine car] and slid along the [railway] directly to the bottom of the sea.

The four [mining machines] below have all collected the maximum depth that can be mined, and have now stopped operating.

There are four [Iron Storage Boxes] placed next to each [Mining Machine], collecting various raw ores, metals and mixed sediment mined by the [Mining Machine].

"It's a pity that the [OD scanner] can't identify fish and shrimp. How many boxes of seafood will we have to buy~"

Shen Jin muttered as he took away the 16 [Iron Storage Boxes], then dug 120 meters to the southeast, northwest, and placed 4 [Mining Machines] and 16 empty [Iron Storage Boxes] again. , replace it with a fully charged [CESU power storage box],

"Boom boom boom~"

The four [Mining Machines] started operating again, and the [Mining Drills] inside followed the [Mining Pipes] to dig downward wildly.

Shen Jin originally wanted to install the 10 sets of mining equipment that he had previously quarried in Zushan here.

But then I thought about it,

If I live in Q City permanently in the future, I might as well dig an undersea channel there and mine directly there.

I heard that oil signals were once detected in the sea outside Q City, but it was too deep and no equipment was built to dig.

After being passed down for a long time, it became a folk legend.

Every year, there are many local people who are waiting to make a fortune from offshore oil mines. They have been waiting for a long time but have not heard the news about oil extraction.

"In the future, the mines collected here will be put here. At least there will be output every time I come here. If there are changes in Q City, at least I can withdraw here and continue to develop."

Shen Jin doesn't like putting eggs in one basket.

In the past, he had three cunning rabbit holes.

Now, he has one cave in City Q, one cave in City D, and one cave in a place that only he knows.

"I'm really going through holes after holes!"

"Huh? One hole and one hole?"

Shen Jin stacked these 16 [Iron Storage Boxes] on top of the 4 [Ore Washing Machines] using [Funnels], so that the ore inside could fall into the box below along the [Funnel], and finally fall out. Enter the [Ore Washing Machine] and start washing.

Shen Jin also placed the same number of [Iron Storage Boxes] next to the [Ore Washing Machine] to store finished products.

This much mineral is enough for the [Ore Washing Machine] to wash for several days.

"It would be great if there was an 'efficiency upgrade component' in the industrial module. By increasing the power consumption, the operating efficiency of the machine can be greatly improved. Alas, it is a pity that the [Intermediate Industrial II] is still far away~"

Shen Jin sighed for a moment and went to the training ground, where there was still a ceremony waiting for him.
