However, due to the increase in the number of people, they did not have a complete set of anti-gas equipment. In fact, the people at Lu Yuan Base could occasionally hear faint explosions in the Rift Valley. This was because Zhao Tinghai used grenades for mining.
This practice was already stipulated in regulations when the earthquake struck, strictly prohibiting the use of mines around the rift valley. However, Zhao Tinghai is now using them despite violating these regulations in order to increase production.
Everyone knows how dangerous it is to use lightning in such an unstable region as the rift valley. Although these rift valleys have not experienced any earthquakes for several months, if these geological structures are damaged again, it could cause even greater impacts. Some dormant volcanoes underground might even erupt again due to their explosions.
Looking at these pig-like opponents, Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh for them. However, their actions might even affect him, so Lu Yuan could only hope that disaster would not strike again.
On this day, Lu Yuan secretly brought out a lot of pigs, cattle, and sheep from the dimensional space, and then put these pigs, cattle, and sheep from the laboratory into their breeding farm.
The people responsible for raising these poultry and livestock were bewildered when they saw Lu Yuan bringing over a large herd of pigs, cattle, and sheep again. This was the umpteenth time Lu Yuan had come to deliver things. Each time, Lu Yuan would use the excuse of taking some live pigs, cattle, and sheep from them to take back for breeding, but he would deliver several times the amount within a few days.
However, no one asked, since everyone was just guessing what was being researched in the lab, and no one knew what was actually going on inside.
Chen Yan, who is in charge of the laboratory, has been leading her team to study extraction methods for minerals. However, due to the lack of various experimental equipment, their research has become very slow.
Lu Yuan also kept putting pressure on them, which caused all the lab technicians to work very late every day. The reason Lu Yuan did this was to protect his secret, and he could only prevent this little girl from discovering his secret by constantly assigning them various tasks.
In his office, Lu Yuan glanced at the time on his phone. About three months had passed since they started mining, but the mysterious organization still hadn't sent back any news.
Although Lu Yuan said he wasn't in a hurry, he still wanted to get news of his family as soon as possible. However, urging them now was useless. Apart from seeing a few researchers from their mysterious organization coming to collect ore regularly, Lu Yuan couldn't see anyone else. Sometimes, Lu Yuan even wondered if these people were frauds.
With a sigh, Lu Yuan sat in his room, looking at some test reports brought by several geologists, and couldn't help but feel a little astonished.
"What do you mean by these red circles?" Lu Yuan pointed to several places marked with red circles on the map, somewhat puzzled.
Old Qin, who was in charge of the geological survey, quickly stepped forward to explain: "President Lu, it's like this. Some time ago, when we were investigating the surface, we found that the underground situation here was not good. The lava activity underground has become more and more frequent, so these areas are all high-risk locations!"
Lu Yuan nodded slightly: "Then let our exploration team stay away from this area for now, to avoid casualties!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, we've already given the instructions. That area has been designated as part of the project. However, the gold mining teams inside and outside the city are still mining there continuously! We're worried..."
At this point, a hint of worry flashed across Lao Qin's face.
"It's alright, Lao Qin, just say it, whatever it is!"
"Sigh, the way these people are using explosives to clear the mountain has already affected the geological activity in the area. If this continues, it could lead to a new volcanic eruption. We are tens of kilometers away from there. Although it sounds like a long distance, if a volcanic eruption occurs, we might also be affected. Should we go and try to stop it?"
Hearing this, Lu Yuan knew that if he didn't stop them, Zhao Tinghai's gold mining team might implicate him. The base had just started to improve, and Lu Yuan didn't want to relocate again because of these incompetent rivals. So he could only test the waters first, and take action if things really didn't work out.
After a moment's thought, Lu Yuan said, "Alright, since there's danger, we need to eliminate it as soon as possible. Is Zhao Tinghai still in charge of that mine?"
Old Qin nodded: "Yes, it's still Zhao Tinghai. This guy is getting more and more crazy. In order to get high-quality ore, he doesn't even care about human lives. Now, a large number of people are dying in their mines every day. And Liu Tianhu in the inner city is colluding with them, treating human lives as nothing. We can hardly stand it anymore!"
"These lunatics, it seems it's time to teach them a lesson!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan stood up, paced back and forth in the room for a while, and then said, "Send a message to Zhao Tinghai, and tell him that I want to invite him to dinner!"
Upon hearing this, Lao Qin's expression changed drastically: "President Lu, are you crazy? Those guys are insane. Inviting them to dinner is extremely dangerous. I don't recommend doing that!"
Lu Yuan smiled slightly: "It's nothing, just a simple meal, nothing will happen. Just take the letter with you, I'm sure Zhao Tinghai will be willing to see me!"
