So Secretary Cao quickly dialed Zhao Tinghai's number and told him that Liu Tianhu had agreed. Zhao Tinghai, meanwhile, sat in his office chair with a slight smile on his lips.
"Hmph, in the end, they still need me. Tell the men below to hurry up and mine all the mineral veins we found!"
The man standing next to Zhao Tinghai hesitated for a moment, saying, "Uncle Zhao, the other mines are in the black fog. This stuff is highly corrosive and we can't get close at all!"
"What's there to be afraid of? We should still mine what needs to be mined. We can't just let those veins go to waste. They're worth a lot of real gold and silver!"
"But...but we don't have enough manpower right now, and we might need to recruit another batch of laborers from the outer city!"
"Okay, let's recruit them then. Anyway, keeping these people around is just a waste of food, so we might as well make the most of them. Right now, the garrison's affairs are basically none of our business, but we still need to be careful. If we really cause trouble, we won't be able to handle the situation!"
Seeing Zhao Tinghai's indifferent expression, the man could only sigh and then turn and leave the office.
…
Time flies, and another month has passed.
Lu Yuan's new development site is now fully completed. Although the new buildings stretching out in a continuous line don't look particularly grand, they have a significant advantage in resisting storms and blocking the black fog.
Behind the site of the new building, a vast area spanning dozens of acres has been thoroughly cleared. The thick layer of volcanic ash that was originally on the ground has also been swept away. Although some dust still falls from the sky from time to time, it does not have a significant impact on the area. Once the trees are planted, the volcanic ash will no longer fall on the ground.
Lu Yuan returned to the laboratory and looked at the lush green grass displayed on the shelves, instantly feeling a sense of comfort.
When Chen Yan saw Lu Yuan come in, she quickly put down her work and went to greet him.
"Why are you only arriving now? Everything is ready. When are we leaving?" Chen Yan said, picking up a small potted plant and gently touching its lush green leaves.
"Don't rush. Let's move tonight first. After we move all the equipment and other things over, we'll move these things over first thing tomorrow morning." Lu Yuan stood in front of the scaffolding, surveying the room that stretched for dozens of meters.
The room was filled with dozens of layers of lush green grass, all arranged through Lu Yuanshi's dimensional space. He simply used some water from the pond to increase the grass's growth rate by dozens of times.
Although Chen Yan had conducted research for some time, she still hadn't discovered the secret. This was not only due to the lack of tools in the laboratory, but also because she couldn't analyze the elements in the water using spectrometers.
During this time, Chen Yan frequently went to the mine to check, but she did not find any water flowing out as Lu Yuan had said, which made her feel that Lu Yuan might have lied to her.
Six o'clock in the evening.
Upon receiving the notification, the workers collected all the blank tools and put them away neatly. The tents were also packed up, and all the necessary items were boxed up and loaded onto the truck.
After everyone had assembled, Lu Yuan and Chen Kaiming conducted another check to ensure everything was in order. Then, Lu Yuan jumped into the vehicle and looked at the densely packed crowd in front of him.
"Everyone, you've all been working with us at the mine for several months now. Recently, you've all weathered the days without water or electricity. Now we have water and electricity, and we don't need to beg those people above us anymore. Now it's time for us to enjoy good days! Everyone, listen up, let's move now!"
These words immediately sparked cheers from the crowd, and each worker threw their safety helmet into the air.
"This is fantastic! We finally have a new home!"
"The hard times are finally over. I never thought we would survive such a disaster. The higher-ups probably don't even know how well we've been doing!"
"Long live President Lu! Long live President Chen!"
“…”
The crowd kept shouting Lu Yuan and Chen Kaiming's names and yelling "Long live!" No one could believe that they had even achieved zero casualties in mining during this period. This was mainly due to the fact that everyone's safety measures were extremely effective.
Several members of the old Tao Jin team standing in the crowd had tears in their eyes. Their hands trembled as they held their tools and radiation protection suits, their eyes filled with gratitude as they looked at Lu Yuan on the stage. They knew that he was an absolute savior.
With the roar of engines, the first truck started heading towards the new base, followed by the second, the third, and so on until the last one. Everyone boarded the trucks, and the long procession traveled for about ten kilometers before finally arriving at the new base.
Lu Yuan kept the construction of the new base a secret from everyone. No one had ever visited it since it was built. The workers' daily work consisted of mining and sorting ore in the mining area. Although they had heard about these things, they never knew where their new base was, what the environment was like, or whether they lived in tents like they did now.
