"Your projects are getting bigger and bigger, you're even doing blasting now. Let me think... I think I actually have an underwater impact drill. I'll go find it for you." The boss said as he went to the back warehouse, without even mentioning the price.
After more than ten minutes, the boss finally came over carrying a cardboard box covered in dust.
"You know what, there really is one. This thing has been sitting here for so long, I'm not even sure myself." The shopkeeper put the item on the ground and couldn't help but fan himself with it; it was so dirty.
"This is an underwater impact drill." Chen Feng could no longer make out what was written on the surface.
"Yes, it works perfectly, brand new from the factory, but it's been in stock for two and a half years. You can try it with confidence. If it doesn't work, come back to me." The boss subconsciously wanted to pat his chest and say something, but after looking at his dark hands, he put them down.
"Okay, get me some paper so I can wipe it up. Otherwise, it'll be too dirty to throw it in the car."
Chen Feng wanted to pick it up, but he couldn't bring himself to do it when he was halfway bent over. He pointed at Huang Fei and told him to go up.
Seeing this, Huang Fei pursed his lips, knowing that this job would have to be his.
The shopkeeper handed over a roll of toilet paper, which Huang Fei took outside to start wiping, while Chen Feng paid the bill inside.
In no time, he had wiped the box almost clean, using half a roll of toilet paper.
"I'm off, boss," Chen Feng said.
"Hey, come on over if you need anything else," the boss's voice came from inside the house.
They threw the impact drill into the trunk and drove home.
When they returned to the camp, they had just gotten up.
"You're back. Did you manage to buy it?" Chen Jianguo asked.
"Got it, an underwater impact drill. Let's see if it works." Chen Feng unloaded the item and started unpacking.
Following the instructions, the group gathered around and fiddled with it for a while until they figured it out.
“Okay, bro, let’s go into the water then.” Lin Nian said, picking up the drill and getting ready to go into the water with Li Chunlai.
"Wait a minute, something seems off," Chen Feng said, stopping the two of them after a moment's thought.
"What's wrong, bro? Did you forget some parts?" Lin Nian asked, somewhat bewildered.
"No, what good will it do you two go down there? You don't even know where the gold is."
"I'm still teaching you two here, and I need to go downstairs now. I forgot about this earlier," Chen Feng said, slapping his forehead with a hint of helplessness.
Chen Feng took the impact drill from Lin Nian and walked towards the river. They then realized that it did seem to be true.
“Brother, I’ll go down with you then,” Lin Nian said.
“Okay, you can switch shifts, either way is fine,” Chen Feng said, wearing a diving suit.
And so, Lin Nian and Chen Feng went into the water.
"Hello, hello, can you hear me?" Li Chunlai asked from the shore.
"I can hear you, it works," Chen Feng replied.
"Look at this, isn't it ridiculous? I've become the commander." Li Chunlai grinned and moved a small stool to sit on the shore.
Chen Feng and Lin Nian went to the bottom of the water. Chen Feng carried the impact drill, and Lin Nian carried the vacuum tube.
Chen Feng looked around first, then confirmed the location, pressed the impact drill against the riverbed, and began to chisel.
"Clang clang clang clang..."
The sound of an underwater impact drill is not so crisp; it's somewhat muffled.
The riverbed was gradually broken up by the powerful impact drill, becoming deeper and deeper.
"Heave." Chen Feng chiseled for a while, then took a step back, gesturing for Lin Nian to come over.
There were too many loose stones, making it difficult for Chen Feng to work.
Upon hearing this, Lin Nian swam over with the vacuum tube in his arms. With a press of the tube, the rubble was sucked away with a whoosh, which was more efficient than any other cleaning method.
"Alright, brother." Lin Nian finished taking a drag and stepped aside to let Chen Feng continue.
Chen Feng stepped forward, picked up the impact drill, and continued to chisel. This scene reminded Lin Nian of his only experience getting a dental filling.
The doctor would drill into his mouth, then have his assistant suck it out, and then continue drilling.
"This process seems pretty much the same..." Lin Nian thought to himself, stroking his chin.
When Chen Feng drilled through for the second time, he was already very close to the golden sand. Just as he was about to break through, he asked Lin Nian to come forward.
"suck."
"good."
Lin Nian took another deep breath, and Chen Feng took turns going forward. When Chen Feng used the impact drill again, he could see the dense gold sand below without even using the system.
"Haha." Chen Feng couldn't help but laugh when he saw this. He pressed down hard a few more times, breaking the whole area open. Lin Nian knew from Chen Feng's laughter that the goods had been shipped.
"What's going on, Brother Feng?" Lin Nian asked, leaning closer.
"Take a look for yourself." Chen Feng kept everyone in suspense, took a step back, and Lin Nian came up and shoveled away the large pieces of rubble.
When he flipped it over again, he immediately saw the layer of dark yellow gold sand.
"Holy crap, is this all there? There's so much!" Lin Nian said in disbelief as he rummaged through the pile.
"What the heck? How much gold did they find?" Li Chunlai, who was on the shore, was so anxious that he ran around frantically, wishing he could jump into the water right now to see for himself.
"Inhale." Chen Feng looked up to signal.
"Alright!" Lin Nian picked up the tube and began to suck carefully, not missing a single bit, until the area was completely clean.
"Brother Feng, is there any more? Or should we use an impact drill to widen it a bit more?" Lin Nian said impatiently.
"That's it, just this one big spot. Let's move on to the next opening." Chen Feng carried the impact drill and swam towards the next location.
Lin Nian, unwilling to give up, reached out and checked again, only to find that there was indeed nothing there before catching up with Chen Feng.
When Chen Feng arrived at the location, he used the impact drill to mark several points.
"This will do." Chen Feng chose a good spot to drill and started chiseling.
With the power of the impact drill, a turbid mass was stirred up from the riverbed, but because there was no silt, it consisted of large particles.
So they rose quickly and dispersed quickly. Chen Feng dodged back, and Lin Nian stepped forward to inhale. They no longer needed to communicate with words; they understood each other with just a gesture.
On the shore, Li Chunlai saw the money-sucking ship spraying something outwards, and he couldn't wait to go forward and check it out.
When he saw the gold flowing like water in the groove, he was overjoyed.
"Wow, hahaha, so many! My goodness!" Li Chunlai couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Since Huang Fei and Chen Jianguo had nothing to do that day, they simply went back to their old ways, sifting gold dust in the pit. They had no idea what was happening here.
"It's broken through. Don't worry, I'll expand it a bit more." Chen Feng's drill bit pierced through suddenly, and with no resistance, he knew it was open. However, he wasn't in a hurry and continued to expand it back and forth before letting Lin Nian come forward to suck it up.
"Wow, bro, this seems to be even more than last time!" Lin Nian exclaimed, grabbing some gold dust with wide eyes.
Whose gold sand is this? There's so much gold sand in this pit that Lin Nian couldn't even grab it all in one go.
