Chapter 950 949. Crazy Mine (35)
The two mines of the lion hunter are called Bimok and Talasiko, which are both local Zulu indigenous languages. means hills.
The area of Bimok is larger, with a diameter of 200 meters. It is surrounded by steps and surrounds downwards. There are two huge elevators working to continuously send up the reclaimed rocks.
The lion hunters gave Li Du and others hard hats, all of which were red.
The color of the helmets in the mine is particular, red is for visitors, yellow is for managers, white is for technical workers, and blue is for workers.
The people who come to visit the mine are mainly local government officials. They come here to show off or ask for money. The workers despise them very much, but they respect them most.
After the political reform in South Africa, officials have more power, and the people at the bottom are eager to have a good relationship with officials.
Therefore, when Li Du and others went down into the mine, some rising workers noticed them with strange eyes, bored and envious, and awed.
The lion hunter shouted: "It's dangerous down here, you must pay attention to follow me, guys, I don't want to cause any trouble because of safety issues, follow me closely, okay?"
There were a lot of people coming to the mine from Li Du's side, and the whole group followed. Sophie didn't need to go to the mine at first, but she was curious about the process of diamond birth and wanted to take a look.
There are many caves in the mine. When they descended, there was a dull roar at the bottom. It was the explosives blasting the holes, and the workers followed the blasted caves to go deep.
Workers stay on stepped work surfaces, which are wide enough to allow workers to rest, eat and play cards and other activities on them.
In addition to the workers staying on it, there were also excavators, loaders and bucket elevators parked on the working surface. After the explosion was over, the workers followed the excavators and walked in.
Modern diamond mines require a lot of financial support, such as the hoist responsible for transporting kimberlite rocks. This thing is like an elevator, but it is much larger than the elevator. The main body is three to four meters high, and it is extremely thick. cable transport.
The lion hunter introduced to Li Du that this hoist weighs 240 tons and transports 24 hours a day without stopping, and transports 5,000 tons of kimberlite every day!
Li Du exclaimed: "This is really a steel monster, its transportation ability is too powerful."
The lion hunter shrugged relaxedly and said, "It's nothing, buddy. When I was working in the Kimberley Diamond Crater, the elevator used in the Diamond Crater could transport 3,000 tons of stones in an hour!"
Li Du subconsciously asked: "Have you ever worked in the Kimberley Crater of Diamonds? That is a place full of legends."
The lion hunter smiled and did not take up the topic. At this time, the hoist went deep into the bottom of the mine, and he began to introduce other tools.
The huge blower was working below, and amidst the whistling sound of 'Woo', a large amount of oxygen was transported into the mine pit.
The ragged miners worked hard under the watchful eyes of the supervisor, who kept writing something in the notebook in his hand.
The lion hunters said that they are evaluating the performance of the miners, which is related to the subsequent bonuses.
The mine was hundreds of meters deep. Li Du stood under the mine and looked up at the sky, his heart trembling uncontrollably.
Here, the sky has become an unreachable place, and sunlight has become a luxury. Even though the mine pit is in the shape of a funnel with the largest opening at the top, the sun still cannot shine at other times except at noon.
In addition, there is no vegetation, no green, no animals and no wind blowing birds, only off-white ore and various metal-colored machines.
The sound of the underground mine is very noisy, full of the sound of machines working and crushing ore, which makes people disturbed.
Li Du re-examined his original bet with Callestan. It was not so easy to start a diamond mine, and he might have been a little hasty at the time.
They began to enter the mines mined around them, and now they couldn't even see the sky, only the dim lights inside.
Some miners come and go, regardless of white or black, men or women, they all have the same numb expression on their faces, they look like walking dead when they are not using tools, and they behave like robots when they are working.
Until seeing Sophie, the appearance of the men inside finally changed.
Due to historical reasons, the aesthetics of South Africans is different from other African regions. Men here prefer white beauties.
The workers couldn't even see the portraits of beauties, not to mention white beauties in the mine, so when Sophie appeared, they were immediately excited.
Several men stared at Sophie at a corner of the mine. Some male miners came after hearing the news, and each found a corner they thought was hidden and stared at Sophie.
Their eyes were terrible, like a hungry wolf seeing a fat sheep.
Li Du was very upset when his woman was looked at like this, and said, "What are they doing? Have you seen any visitors? I think they should go to work?"
The lion hunter threw away the cigar he had smoked twice and said, "You can't control them. They are trapped in the well and become like wild animals. If you stimulate them at this time, they dare to risk their lives."
Not everyone was interested in Sophie. Seeing the lion hunter throw away the cigar, a woman ran up to pick it up and took a couple of puffs, with an intoxicated expression on her face.
Immediately afterwards, she cut off the burning cigar head with a small blade, took out a plastic bag and packed it carefully.
Seeing the scene under the mine, Sophie's scalp felt numb, and he said, "Oh my God, this is hell."
It didn't take long for her to finish speaking, when the group turned into a mine, a strong black miner walked over with his bare buttocks, and then slapped Sophie.
It's just that there are people looking around, Li Du can still bear it, and now there are people coming forward to make moves, he can't bear it anymore, Brother Lang jumped on him with a wave of his hand.
The big man was like a lunatic. Brother Wolf knocked him down with a punch, but he didn't care and shouted: "It's so cool, baby!"
Li Du was stunned, except for the lion hunter and his men, everyone else was stunned.
What shocked them even more was that the big man didn't just talk about it, but he really guarded the group and made a bubble, which made Sophie almost vomit.
After finishing, the big man seemed to know that he had caused trouble, so he knelt down and kowtowed to them.
Li Du didn't know if he was mentally ill, and he didn't even dare to provoke such a person, so he decisively said to Da Ao and Da Iwan: "Take Sophie up!"
They had only entered the mine less than twenty meters before this happened. Who knows what other crazy things will happen after that?
