In a labor camp from hell.

Everyone is working hard.

The top priority is to mine raw materials. In order to save the cost of transportation, in the early stage they only carried early food and tools, as well as basic construction materials, such as the raw materials for the water purification alchemy array, as well as the materials for the current barracks and warehouses, etc.

As for the huge raw materials required for the construction of the real water plant, they are all mined and used in hell. After a period of time, after the basic food they brought is eaten, they will start to obtain food in hell.

Achieve self-sufficiency before running out of food.

This is difficult. As I said before, the soil in hell is not suitable for farming, but there is always a way. They don't eat vegetables, and they only bring light and storable dry food as their staple food. They obtain future food through breeding and planting.

Of course, planting is not about growing delicate vegetables or staple foods, but growing native crops from hell, namely mushrooms.

Although some fungi have a bad taste and smell, they are actually non-toxic and edible. As long as they are processed into dried mushrooms, they can be used as staple food.

It's unpalatable, but I won't starve to death.

Then we breed some animals native to hell, such as some ferocious frogs. These mindless beasts are covered in spikes and have tongues as powerful as pythons. They can pop out and tie up prey to death. They can also eat people, but they are not big.

About the size of a Labrador.

The source of meat for the last water plant construction was the cultivation of this kind of frog. Humans found their egg masses in the swamps, which were black and white soft beans filled with mucus. Many eggs were piled up into a mass, and a normal-sized egg

The egg mass can be as big as a person, then bring the egg mass home, water it with water, and wait for it to hatch. Some small frogs will appear. They will be raised with the humus of the swamp. After two months, they will grow to the size of a Chihuahua. At this time

It can be slaughtered. Adult human males are not afraid of these little frogs at all.

Food and water have been solved, and what is left are the raw materials for the construction of the water plant.

It is mainly divided into two categories, one is minerals, which is easy to understand. It requires laborers to work hard and dig a lot of minerals, and then it is sent to the metallurgical furnace to be refined into metal, which is then forged and shaped by craftsmen to form a water plant.

basic parts.

The second category is the magic array circuit and its supporting runes. This part needs to be completed by mages. The parts forged by the craftsmen are enchanted one by one according to the design drawings, formed into an array, and debugged. Finally, the workers are responsible for installation. Magic

The materials for the array also require on-site exploration by technicians and then laborers to dig.

All the design drawings are complete. All you need to do is to allow workers to dig and collect the required materials while maintaining safety. Then, technicians and mages will complete the manufacturing, and finally assemble it into a water plant. This process is the fastest as long as

Ten years, but it is basically impossible to be the fastest in hell, so the empire gave Lu En twenty years, twice as long.

Now, the preliminary exploration has been basically completed. There are 14,600 people in the entire camp, including 10,000 laborers, 4,000 various craftsmen and technicians, a 500-person guard team, and a 100-person management team.

There are about forty people in the management team who are really doing things. The rest are just rice bugs. Maybe they are not low-level, but they definitely don’t work honestly. Lu En has already taken a look at those management talents. Most of them

All he has are skills of the "Clerical 4", "Shorthand 2" and "Accounting 3" types.

There is no "coordinator", and Kara has said before that she has never seen Bai's coordinator before.

This made Lu En keep an eye on him. He had already experienced the power of coordination skills, and Bai's rapid promotion made him pay considerable attention to Bai.

Now it seems... the rarity of the coordination skill seems to be outstanding, and I am extremely lucky to have bumped into it.

At the same time, Lu En also got the list of laborers and technicians. They were all done by the leading technicians. They did not come from the management team, so they should still be doing it very secretly.

After all these things were done, Lu En officially began to implement his plan.

——————————

Below the mine.

The technicians found a large shallow mineral seam near the camp, and the workers quickly built three mine shafts for mining the mineral seam. This mineral seam was not deep, so the mines were not deep either, only about ten meters.

This depth is quite dangerous, because the top is not solid and is too shallow, so it is easy to collapse. Whether it is a ten-meter collapse or a five-meter collapse, it will kill people. This requires workers to be careful and not to go too far.

of mining soil.

If part of the sand and clay connected to the ore layer is brought out during mining, it will easily cause the mine to collapse over time. Most of these workers are level 2 workers and are very aware of this kind of thing.

But you can only mine, and sand and clay are not allowed to be moved. In this way, the mine tunnel, which is usually four to five feet or higher, will be too low to even stand up.

The workers had to lie on their sides, put their elbows on the ground, and use pickaxes to dig out the coal. This posture would not only seriously affect the bones, cause arthritis, wear the skin of the joints, causing great pain, but also make the workers

They had to breathe the dust falling from above.

This situation has caused workers to suffer from a series of special diseases.

The reason is easily explained from the characteristics of their labor. First, they swallowed a large amount of dust, which caused them all to suffer from stomach problems and loss of appetite. Most of them suffered from abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. At the same time, because their mouths were full of dust, they were also thirsty.

However, in order to maintain efficiency, they had to endure thirst and wait until the end of the work to drink water.

As a result, their digestive organs are damaged, which in turn contributes to other diseases.

Moreover, their work is extremely tiring, so hernias are almost universal, which is also a direct result of excessive muscle tension. In many mines, due to excessive muscle tension and because the air is full of dust, carbon dioxide and mine gas,

Many painful and dangerous lung diseases, especially asthma, which appear in most coal miners in some areas by the age of forty, and in others even in their thirties,

And the patient is soon incapacitated.

For these professionals, almost all of them suffer from these diseases, but the good thing is that they are all professionals. This disease cannot kill them, and their skills have strengthened their physique and endurance, allowing them to

They can tolerate the disease better and can delay the onset to a certain extent.

But it's just a delay.

Among those who work in such mines, asthma naturally starts much earlier. Especially in hell, where it is always hot at all times, they are particularly susceptible to various inflammations and fevers.

There is another disease that is unique to hell. The name is the so-called "black phlegm disease". It is caused by the special rock formations in hell being broken into pieces, and the debris invades various parts of the lungs. This disease is

It is characterized by general weakness, headache, difficulty breathing, and then coughing and vomiting thick black phlegm.

The superficial conditions of these workers are generally described quite well, because their wages are even higher than those of most owners of small chambers of commerce, but this is by no means something to be thankful for, because all this money is life money.

After working like this for ten years, it is estimated that few of them will be able to stand upright and receive wages, and most of them will suffer from serious sequelae.

They all have this concept in mind, but the money is so much that they can't resist at all.

In front of the mine, there was a hustle and bustle of people.

"Baru, take your people! You take two teams to pick up the shift here!" A bearded man holding a pipe in his mouth gave orders to a group of workers.

His name is Tuke, and he is the leader of the labor here.

There are a total of seven foremen among the laborers, the same seven who were called by Lu En to meet before. They are all the most skilled and experienced foremen here. If they are not laborers, they also need certain organizational leadership, even if they are assigned

It's normal to be in the technician group, and there's no problem even in the management position.

"Boss! My people just did it yesterday, why are we still here today? Brothers can't even breathe!" the man named Balu complained.

"Don't complain to me. We have opened three mines. No one is allowed to fall down. The people above have spoken. The shelter must be built within a week. It takes four days and three nights to dig clay and bake bricks.

What are you doing if you haven’t slept a wink? Go quickly, we don’t have enough manpower. We have to focus on the gentlemen first. We must build their residence within a week! The gentlemen live in the barracks, but they are all holding back their anger.

Do you think you are the same as us?" Tuke chewed his pipe and enunciated the words very clearly.

There was no smoke in the pipe, he just bit it out of habit. Every bit of weight transmitted through the portal had to be calculated in terms of gold coins. How could he be allowed to bring shredded tobacco to enjoy it? Only noble gentlemen were willing to spend money to enjoy it themselves.

They brought their own things, but they didn't have the capital. The pipes were carved out of scrap wood from building materials, and they were used as a way to relieve their addiction.

Just at this time, a voice suddenly came from behind them:

"You don't need to build theirs first. Build your own house first. If they live in it, they can live in the same size as you. Then build one for them. This is hell. No one can live in a palace here."

Several workers looked back and saw the man who always held a cane and wore a black robe.

They all know the patron saint of the entire engineering camp, the legendary level 9 monster king.

These people were trembling with fear and wanted to say something, but nothing came out.

On the other hand, Tuke, although his legs were a little weak, still shivered and took off his pipe, saluted first, then bent down and said cautiously: "Um... sir, as usual, I always give it to you and your companions first.

They did it first. If they do it to us first, I'm afraid they will blame them later..."

"They can't blame me, and my companions have never been them." Lu En shook his head: "You should be well-informed. You should have heard about what happened in the past few days."

Tu Ke nodded nervously, of course he had heard about it.

Can you not hear that? The beautiful woman with her legs and knees smashed into pieces, screamed at the door for at least an hour before she was taken away. They questioned her for a long time before they heard the truth from the people in charge.

It turns out that Count Anluo fell out with those nobles in public and beat her up like this! She wet her pants several times!

This news frightened Tuke so much. He was like this to his own people, but what would it be like to deal with a bunch of idiots like them!!

When he thought about the other party calling the seven of him over to give them tasks a few days ago, he was so frightened that he hiccupped. If he couldn't complete it, he would probably have to leave it here.

But the other party seems to like to go to the construction site very much. Damn it, if you don’t stay in a good barracks and enjoy that beautiful woman in a maid outfit, why do you have to get in trouble with them who are digging the ground!

Although he was thinking so in his heart, he didn't dare to show it at all. He just smiled and said: "I've heard of it, of course I've heard of it!"

"So don't worry about their retaliation. You build your own first. All houses are built according to the same specifications. I have taken out the materials that were originally intended to build palaces for them and used them. There are a lot of materials in them that can filter the air. I

I have already asked the alchemists to make you a batch of masks that can effectively filter the dust from hell. After putting them on, remember to wash them every day. This will prevent you from black phlegm disease, and the ash will not fall into your mouth.

, the work will be much more comfortable." Lu En walked to the front with a cane, and handed Tu Ke an envelope at the same time: "Inside is my reward, you help me collect the list, thank you."

Tuke's pipe fell to the ground, and the workers nearby were also shocked.

What did they hear?

They have heard of the material that filters the air. They heard that it is the hair of the frost monster. Each hair has a special power. Each hair forms a network, which can help the frost monster greatly strengthen.

It has defensive power, fire protection, cold resistance, and can even filter poisonous gas. This property is still effective after the hair falls off, so it can be used as a filter.

The frost monster is a monster with a base compound level of 6. The hair of the frost monster is not only very rare, but it is also very expensive. They definitely cannot afford to use it, but the nobles can afford it. After all, a frost monster can produce a lot.

Mao, so in hell, they use it to build houses. The air inside the mansion built in this way will be quite fresh, and there is no need to endure the bad air of hell.

But now, the big man in front of me... said he wanted to take that thing to make masks for them?

"No... no, sir! Are you telling the truth?" Tuke stuttered and couldn't believe it!

The same goes for other people. They can't imagine that anyone would give such valuable things to all workers?
