In the deepest part of the mine, there are only a few light bulbs providing limited light source.
Humid, hot, stuffy, noisy, dark...all the bad adjectives that could be thought of came to mind in Chen Xin's mind.
This is not Chen Xin's deliberate disparagement, but the mines hundreds of meters underground are indeed so bad.
Because of the deep underground and the lack of air circulation, the temperature here was higher than the ground even before the disaster. The temperature even got higher as you went deeper.
This is why in the past, when miners had little safety awareness, these people were more accustomed to taking off their clothes to work.
It would be fine if it were a traditional mining pick and the like, it would make a few clanging sounds at most, but most modern mines use pneumatic picks, which make a lot of noise when working.
Working in such an environment, you can imagine what a hard job it is.
But for the miners working here, they already feel lucky to have such a job.
In today's general environment, it is a very happy thing to have a stable job and receive enough quota supplies every month to support the family.
And their working conditions today have improved a lot.
The newly issued protective clothing can effectively isolate the hot and humid environment underground, and the exoskeleton makes the work that originally required a lot of physical strength much easier. Overall, the miners are very satisfied with the current situation.
It is for these reasons that even though they are doing the most dangerous and arduous work at the bottom of the mine, these workers are still working hard to complete the work at hand.
But today, their work needs to be paused.
After receiving the instructions from the technician, the workers stopped their work one after another and looked at the technician and Chen Xin, who was standing next to him with some confusion, and looked like a big shot.
They didn't quite understand why they were suddenly asked to stop.
"Mr. Zhao, what's going on?" The foreman among the workers approached the technician and asked him about the specific situation: "Our current schedule is very tight, and stopping work will delay the progress!"
"The higher-ups sent people to test some things. You don't have to worry about the delay in the work stoppage." The technician did not explain much to let the other party understand that it would not affect their work, then turned to Chen Xin and said: "We can start testing now."
Chen Xin nodded and signaled the researcher on the side to start testing.
The researcher received the instructions from Chen Xin, so he motioned for the simplified version of the mining Titan to come forward and prepare to start the test.
The workers were startled when they saw the appearance of the mining Titan, obviously frightened by the strange shape of this thing.
But the researcher obviously didn't care what these workers were thinking. He just directed the driver to drive the Titan to the place where the workers were working just now. He opened the four support legs and stood firmly in front of a rock wall.
Then, it raised the pickaxe in its hand.
Seeing the strange-looking machine in front of them, which looked like a big spider and began to hit the rock wall with a pickaxe at the place where they had just been working, the workers had some reaction and guessed that this might be a machine used for mining.
This made the workers who saw the mining Titan a little excited. They were obviously very curious about this new machine and were still wondering whether they could use this new thing and what each part of it was used for.
However, the foreman was not as curious as the workers. He looked at the work of the machine and frowned. He went to the researcher who was directing the test and said to him: "The way you are playing is wrong! The position of the wind pick is there. Be careful, it is very inefficient for you to fight like this, and it will destroy the parts we have already made before!"
"What did you say?" Because of the noisy noise of the pickaxe, the researcher did not hear clearly what the foreman said.
The foreman could only repeat his words loudly, and this time not only the researcher, but also the technician and Chen Xin heard his words.
After listening to the foreman's words, the researcher took a look at the driver who was operating the mining Titan. The position of the pickaxe was indeed different from the position where the workers had hit it before. He hesitated for a moment before looking at Chen Xin and asked him for instructions: "Academician ,How to do this?"
When the researcher asked Chen Xin for instructions, the driver of the mining Titan also noticed the movement here and stopped what he was doing.
Faced with this situation, Chen Xin walked up to the foreman with great interest. After looking him up and down, he pointed at the mining Titan and asked: "You said he was playing in the wrong position?"
"No, if the pickaxe wants to break the rock wall, the position of the hole must be particular. If the hole is drilled well, the stone will split by itself. If the hole is drilled poorly, it will just be a hole." The foreman nodded seriously. He nodded, not saying anything because Chen Xin looked like a big shot.
Hearing the foreman's affirmative answer, Chen Xin nodded slightly, glanced at the mining Titan in front of him, looked at the foreman again, thought about it and asked him: "Let you go, can you do better than him?"
"I can!" The foreman's eyes lit up. He was still very confident in his job and professional field, but he also hesitated: "I don't know how to use the thing he prescribed."
"It doesn't matter if you don't know how to use it, let him teach you." After Chen Xin finished speaking, he turned to look at the technician on the side and asked him: "Is it okay to borrow one of your workers?"
"Of course there is no problem, but do we really want him to get on? This should be a very expensive experimental equipment, right? What if it breaks?" The technician still maintained the foreman. Although he agreed to let him get on, he also pointed out that possible problems.
Chen Xin didn't care about this and asked the foreman: "Do you know how to use an exoskeleton?"
"Yes! Although this thing was newly issued not long ago, we have all learned to use it." The foreman touched the exoskeleton he was wearing and gave Chen Xin a positive answer.
After hearing what the foreman said, Chen Xin made a decision: "Let the driver switch with him, teach him how to use this simplified version of Titan, and then let him test it."
After finishing speaking, as if to prevent the researcher from objecting, Chen Xin added: "It was originally designed as a labor tool for these workers, and allows them to test it themselves, so that the most intuitive results can be reflected."
"Okay, academician!" The researcher didn't raise any objections. He nodded quickly and motioned to the driver to exchange with the foreman.
The driver was a little confused, but after the researcher explained it, he didn't get upset. He was just a test driver for Titan, not a professional miner. It was normal for him to be less proficient in ore mining than others.
So he directly communicated with the foreman, and enthusiastically gave him instructions on how to operate this simplified version of the mining Titan.
