Chapter 1198 The Returnee's Notes 272
Besides Yuan Ming, Ouyang Lin also knew a little about this.
Xie Ning used a detonator, which is one of the most widely used pyrotechnic products in the civilian field, but the one she was holding was electronic.
This electronic detonator was only introduced to China in 2006, but it was expensive at the time, costing one hundred US dollars per detonator.
When the Three Gorges Project was being carried out that year, more than 2,000 electronic detonators were used. Compared with traditional industrial detonators, electronic detonators are undoubtedly a level higher in terms of safety and control functions, and are more in line with the current development trend of the blasting industry.
Therefore, the government formulated a series of welfare policies to encourage domestic detonator manufacturers to develop electronic detonators and replace imported electronic detonators.
After all, imported ones are still too expensive.
Professor Wang's main team had researched electronic detonators, but they were magnetoelectric. Xie Ning had also helped process some of the data.
The others had never seen this thing before, and they wondered how powerful something so small could be.
Unexpectedly, after Xie Ning led them far away, they heard a loud bang right next to their ears, and one of the carved doors was blasted open with a hole the size of a basin.
"Clean it up a bit, then you can crawl through."
It wouldn't be good to fry it any bigger.
Yuan Ming glanced at Feng Shi, then at Xie Ning who was squatting on the ground packing up his things, and asked jokingly, "Mu Yan, you don't work in a mine, do you?"
The others couldn't help but laugh, and Snow Fox even said, "What kind of girl goes down into a mine?"
Ouyang Lin, her mouth full of dust, had just taken a sip of water to rinse her mouth when she heard this and couldn't help but retort, "Of course there are! There were female miners before the 1980s, and there are even now..."
“That’s illegal, isn’t it…” Xu Jiu raised an eyebrow.
At this point, Ouyang Lin fell silent. She recalled a case she had previously handled: a gas explosion that killed or injured dozens of miners, including several women.
She listened to an interview with a reporter standing nearby. The female workers there did no less work than the male miners. On the contrary, they were very patient, cherished their opportunities to earn money, and never slacked off.
But that's illegal.
Following that explosion, the Women's Federation intervened, not only strongly condemning the illegal use of female workers in coal mines, but also organizing inspection teams to visit mines across the country.
Ouyang Lin glanced at the hole that Yuan Ming and Ouyang Ming were cleaning up, and then went up to help.
She couldn't quite describe how she felt. She knew that due to differences in physiology and physical structure, some environments were indeed unsuitable for women to work long hours.
Moreover, with the application of mechanization, the production efficiency of coal miners has been greatly improved, so there is no longer a need for women to be involved in coal mining production labor to implement a human wave strategy.
One of her elders also said that absolute equality between men and women is not friendly to women.
I can understand, but she still feels a little awkward. Even at her age, she sometimes can't see things clearly.
"Alright! I'll go in first, then you can come one by one!"
Yuan Ming's voice pulled Ouyang Lin back to reality. By the time they got there, Xie Ning had already gone inside with Yuan Ming. Yuan Ming's voice came from inside again, telling Huifa to leave something there.
Therefore, Huifa, who was at the rear, threw down three prayer beads.
Unexpectedly, there were two more sealing stones after this one. After they opened two more openings, they finally made their way into the main tomb passage.
It was a crossroads, but one of the tomb passages was noticeably more ornate, with mysterious and ancient murals on both sides, and some text on them.
Of course, they couldn't really understand it; they just held up lamps to look at the paintings on the wall.
Ouyang Lin followed Xie Ning and noticed a small dancing figure. She wondered, "Why is this person wearing wooden clogs? Could it be a little devil?"
Xie Ning's gaze shifted from the symbols carved on the surface to the little figure Ouyang Lin was pointing at. "Of course not, their country's wooden clogs were passed down from here."
"This should be a tomb from a relatively ancient dynasty. The little figure wearing wooden clogs may have been a dancer from that time."
It's said that perhaps not everyone who dances is a dancer; some high-ranking officials and nobles also dance.
