Chapter 243: Chapter 115: Screw Rock Excavator, Mysterious New Mine_3

The Screw Rock Excavator, a special machine from interstellar trade, if its core components suffer a severe failure, cannot be repaired on Source Star. It must be returned to the seller through interstellar trade, repaired at a great cost, and then sent back.

This round trip takes decades, longer than the lifespan of the people of Source Star.

However, it’s not easy for it to break down to the point of needing factory repairs. Even if it’s attacked by a Level Five Ruined Beast and the Professionals inside are blasted to bits, its core components, like the dashboard, would remain intact.

But with large numbers, accidents are bound to happen. It’s still said that Screw Rock Excavators are constantly traveling through space every day.

Due to the rarity of this equipment, new mines usually operate at only 50% capacity.

Thus, if there are 24 people participating, only 12 excavators are available.

This machine is used in two shifts, with each person using it for eight hours.

It’s reasonable; after all, Scavengers still have some time for rest.

But this time, from Yu Junren’s tone, it seems there won’t be any rest time.

Lin Wang was the first to ask, "Manager Yu, so how long is our work time each day?"

Yu Junren grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "Everyone, works from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day, fourteen hours."

Hiss!

A sound of sharp intakes of breath filled the hall.

Ren Zhong had already instantly analyzed another factor.

Double the personnel, fully staffed Screw Rock Excavators, and daily work hours forcibly increased to 14 hours!

Then the scale of the Chenhui Mine must be much larger than the Starfire Mine!

This is unreasonable!

Ren Zhong had looked at the exploratory map of the Starfire Mine.

In the exploratory data of the Starfire Mine, there is such a sentence.

"This molybdenum-iron mine is the largest metal deposit within a radius of 1500 kilometers."

The Chenhui Mine is clearly also within this 1500-kilometer radius.

The Starfire Mine was exhausted two hundred years ago.

Ren Zhong does not believe that the technology two hundred years ago would have failed to detect the Chenhui Mine, or draw such erroneous conclusive descriptions in the data repository of the Starfire Mine.

So, what exactly happened in these two hundred years for a larger-scale new mine to appear out of thin air?

On the other side, including Lin Wang, many team leaders have already protested, expressing that such work intensity is severely excessive and poses a significant safety risk.

Unexpectedly, Yu Junren just waved his hand coldly, "I said, this company is thoroughly prepared this time! We have the best mechanics, the most advanced equipment repair workshops, the best medical team, the best life assistant team, and the most comprehensive weapon equipment logistics preparation system. Except for rest, we can give you everything you want. You Scavengers should do only one thing, and that is to not ask questions and complete your work properly. Before you came here, you signed a contract with Purple Crystal Mining. You know the consequences of breaching the contract, and that is not something Scavengers can afford."

The hall fell silent.

Ren Zhong quietly observed Lin Wang’s expression of both anger and helplessness, gradually understanding why Lin Wang was so desperately trying to climb higher, so obsessively afraid of being replaced.

Scavengers are truly... very humble.

Lin Wang in Starfire Town is already almost second to none, but in Yu Junren’s eyes, they are still just tools.

The exploitation pyramid of this world is as solid, cold, and ruthless as the "Pyramid of Khufu" above everyone’s heads.
