Chapter 75 Mining Career, Pulmonary Crystal Disease
Su Ning turned to look at Andy, who smiled at her and told her to follow.
"Let's go, don't stand here like an idiot. We'll have plenty of time to get along and get to know each other in the future. If you keep standing here, those cyborgs won't allow it." After saying that, Andy pulled Suning towards the mine they were going to enter.
After Suning followed Andy into the mine, his brows instantly frowned, not for any other reason, but because the smell in the mine was so bad.
Andy looked at Su Ning's expression and explained, "Do you feel it? Although this smell is not particularly bad, it is very irritating to the lungs." As he spoke, Andy took out a mask from his pocket and handed it to Su Ning, reminding her to put it on quickly.
Suning also reacted quickly, but she did not take the other person's mask. Instead, she took out the provided mask from the equipment she carried and put it on her face.
Despite the mask blocking the air, the pungent smell still reached Suning's nose from time to time, making her feel very uncomfortable.
At this time, I could hear someone coughing from time to time.
Andy followed Suning, carefully observing her every move.
Suning has the eye of a scavenger and can see a lot of useful information at a glance.
After some observation and thinking, Suning finally understood the truth of the matter.
She suddenly realized something and said, "So that's how it is. So, pulmonary crystal disease is caused by long-term mining?"
Andy smiled and replied, "Congratulations, you got it right."
Andy, carrying his own shovel, said with a dejected look, "So, newbie, if you want to live well here, you can't get this lung disease."
What exactly is pulmonary crystal disease?
Suning observed a thin man passing by with the eyes of a scavenger. He saw that he was pale and covered his mouth and coughed softly from time to time.
[Native: Delisle, miner number: 1-0711]
Gender: Male
Status: Early stage of pulmonary crystal disease
Pulmonary crystal disease: Long-term inhalation of mineral crystals into the lungs can lead to lung infection and poisoning. In the early stages, it will cause lung infection and coughing symptoms. In the later stages, the lungs will begin to mutate and crystallize, and the body will eventually become crystallized.
"Crystallized?" Su Ning was secretly shocked. She had seen a miner's left arm flashing as if it had broken through something before. She thought that the miner was quite fashionable, but now she thought that it was a crystallized arm.
She didn't expect mining to be so risky.
Suning looked at Andy again. "So what do you want by telling me this?"
Andy smiled again. "Let's be friends. I have a very good eye for people! When I first saw you, I noticed that you were different from others."
How could Suning believe it?
Then she looked at Andy
[Native: Andy, miner number: 1-3334]
Gender: Female
New humans: Super premonition: Possessing super premonition ability, they can sense unusual things and people around them.
After reading Andy's information, Suning immediately became alert.
"New humans? Another unknown setting."
She glanced at the other miners again and found that they did not have the label of a new human.
However, Andy possesses extraordinary abilities, as if he has a talent.
"New humans = possessing talents?"
Suning did not reveal this information and pretended to be calm as she introduced herself, "Suning, number 1008." Her expression was natural, as if she had no idea of Andy's peculiarity.
Andy said seriously: "The number here is your identity card. On this crystal mineral planet, time is money." She patted Suning on the shoulder and comforted him: "Come on, you will understand this later." Then Suning followed Andy to a huge mine.
It was dimly lit and filled with the smell of dust and minerals.
The miners inside were busy waving their tools, trying hard to dig out the crystal ore.
Suning saw that these people's faces were covered with dust and sweat.
After entering the mine, Suning was shocked by the scene before him.
The entire mine is spacious and deep, with countless sparkling crystals inlaid on the walls, emitting a faint light.
There is a thick pile of ore on the ground, some of which has been excavated, and some is still buried deep underground waiting to be mined.
The miners held pickaxes, shovels and other tools and hit the ore hard. Each impact was accompanied by a crisp sound, and the ore fragments flew everywhere, making a crisp sound.
Their movements were skillful and swift, as if every strike contained endless power.
Suning noticed that some miners also used special mechanical equipment to improve efficiency. These equipment can automatically dig out ore and transport it to designated locations.
Suning couldn't help but feel the sci-fi of this copy and its pursuit of resources.
In this mine, people not only have to face harsh working conditions, but also have to be vigilant against possible dangers at all times.
However, they still stick to their posts and work silently in order to obtain more wealth and resources.
"Get to work, or those cyborgs won't let you just stand there."
Andy reminded him. Suning nodded and joined the miners.
She picked up a pickaxe and started digging. Both of them had their own thoughts. It was not easy for Suning to get anything out of Andy's mouth. After all, Andy's intuition was very sharp. Many times, when Suning just asked a key question, Andy would immediately change the subject, making Suning's plan fail.
However, Suning is not the kind of person who gives up easily. Since Andy likes to change the subject, he will just go with the flow.
So when Andy changed the subject again, Suning did not insist and also shifted the topic to other places, such as the lung crystal disease unique to this world.
Suning saw a little boy whose legs and hands had undergone strange changes. They were as crystal clear as crystal and exuded a strange beauty.
But Suning knew that this was actually a terrible disease. Looking at the pity eyes cast on the boy by the people around him, Suning couldn't help feeling sad.
Andy sighed, "This is one of the complications of pulmonary crystal disease. Everything inside and outside the body will gradually crystallize. There is currently no effective treatment unless we can obtain energy crystals..."
Suning: "Why do people here still mine when they are sick? Can't they get treatment?"
Andy seemed to have heard something funny. "Haha, treatment. We only have one identity here, which is mining. If we get sick, there is only one result, which is waiting to die!"
Su Ning:
Suning asked, "Is there no cure for this disease?"
When Andy heard Suning's question, she looked dazed for a moment, but she quickly concealed it and shook her head.
"Pulmonary crystal disease is almost certainly a terminal illness."
But Suning still caught Andy's subtle change in expression. What was she hiding?
