Eastern side of the Kola Peninsula.
A tall stone building stands under the sky. The setting sun dyes it golden, like a sharp sword of the earth.
There was no one around, and guards with shotguns were patrolling back and forth.
A low roar of machinery came from the building. It seemed to be turning very slowly, but very powerfully.
There was a busy scene inside the building.
A huge drilling rig stands in the center. The steel inside is solid and the smallest diameter is more than 10 centimeters, which is much stronger than oil drilling equipment.
After all, oil is only distributed 2,000-3,500 meters underground! At least hundreds of local workers in ragged clothes and covered in oil are busy doing their own work.
Just that small drill hole made the temperature inside the building unusually high, almost reaching 40 degrees Celsius.
More than 30 workers in Group A were sweating profusely as they continuously added connecting rods to the drill according to the speed at which the drill was descending.
There is no drill in the world that can support drilling at this depth. The only way is to continue drilling during the descent.
On the other side, more than a dozen workers from Group B took a break from their busy schedule.
They are responsible for replacing the drill bit because compared to the connecting rod, the drill bit is a consumable item. After a depth of 8,000 meters, the temperature is extremely high and the rock is hard. If you are not careful, the drill bit will be scrapped.
They just spent more than an hour replacing a brand new drill bit, which allowed the drill bit to dive and drilling to resume.
On the side, a group of people wearing matching coats and looking like scientists were pouring out soil from 8,000 meters below from a scrapped drill.
But their priority was not to analyze the soil samples.
Instead, you need to fiddle with the soil carefully.
In less than a minute, one of the scientists' eyes lit up and he dug out a emerald green gem from the soil.
Clang.
The scientist skillfully placed the gems on a tray beside him, and on this tray, there were more than a dozen gems and diamonds of various kinds piled up.
Clang.
Clang.
The sound of gems falling into the tray continued to be heard.
The workers in Group B watched from afar and sighed.
“I never thought there were so many gems hidden deep in this land.”
"This is really strange!"
"Why can't I pick up these gems on the ground?"
Suddenly, a little boy's voice came from the crowd, "I know."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a thin figure standing in the middle of the crowd. He had an oriental face and was no more than fourteen or fifteen years old.
He was wearing a pair of denim overalls, and his clothes, hands, and face were all covered in oil.
At this moment, he folded his arms, with a serious look on his face, like a little adult.
Judging from his clothes, he is also one of the workers in Group B. It is hard to imagine how he was selected at such a young age.
"Hey!"
"Our big shot knows again!"
"He knows everything!"
The workers in Group B laughed and joked, "Big man, can you explain it to us?"
The boy curled his lips slightly and said in a cold voice, "The area between 5 and 70 kilometers underground is called the mantle, which is full of gems and diamonds! Some of them are washed up from the ground by the flow of magma, so generally precious gems can be found near volcanic craters."
"The source of these diamonds is the metallic liquid in the deep mantle of the Earth."
"It contains a solidified mixture of iron, nickel, carbon and sulfur. Diamonds are formed from pure carbon crystals that have evolved over tens of thousands of years under high temperatures and high pressures underground."
The workers around were stunned and basically didn't understand a word.
"It's over, the big shot is talking about the Book of Heaven again!"
"The boss hired him just because of this little mouth!"
"Look at him, no wonder he can be the team leader!"
The boy glared at everyone and said as he looked at the borehole with twinkling eyes, "There are many more gems underground than you can imagine. Whoever can enter the borehole and return safely can at least become the richest man in town!"
"besides."
The little boy said in a low voice, "Don't call me a big shot all the time. I have a name. My name is He Changshou!"
"Ha ha!"
"Okay, big shot team leader!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Speaking of which, big shot, you are so powerful, and your body is the right size, why don't you go into the borehole at night when no one is around and make a fortune?"
The boy gritted his teeth and said unhappily, "Are you stupid? Didn't you hear me say high temperature and high pressure? And there's a lack of oxygen there! That's not a place where humans can survive at all. If someone can really enter the borehole and come back safely, I'd like to take him as my teacher!"
Right at this moment.
There was a loud bang in the borehole! The entire connecting rod also made a rattling sound, a sound that made your eardrums tremble!
The diesel engine shuts down!
A puff of green smoke came out of the drill hole! Everyone in Group B suddenly felt a jolt in their hearts! "Damn it!"
“It’s over!”
"The drill is stuck again!"
“It’s just been fixed!”
The boy from Group B also changed his expression and frowned. He immediately stepped forward, touched the temperature of the connecting rod with his little hand, and then looked at the diving depth.
He then shouted, "The situation is not that bad. The drill must have hit a hard rock. Pull out the drill immediately and repair it!"
Although this child is very young and is often teased by others, it can be seen that he still has considerable prestige.
With just one order, people from all parties immediately divided up the work and took action.
Buzz. Buzz. Soon, the drill bit began to rise slowly.
The members of Team B already had various tools ready in their hands. The boy who was called the big shot also crossed his arms and watched everything calmly.
The boy was suspicious. The drill had only gone less than 100 meters. Given its strength, it could easily grind the hardest rock into powder. What could have gotten stuck? However.
When the drill bit is fully raised and exposed to the ground.
Everyone was stunned.
Including the boy who remained extremely calm.
Under the drill, a man in tattered clothes covered in dirt, holding the drill with one hand, slowly rose into the air! My God!
Where did he come from?
Is this a human or a ghost? But the man was fine except that he looked a little embarrassed.
He let go and it fell to the ground. Then he dug hard in the drill bit for a long time, took out a teardrop-shaped pendant and stuffed it into his arms.
at this time.
The man's face was already covered in dirt, and he grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. "Hello everyone, my name is Liu Di, the younger brother of younger brother!"
