Volume 2 The more labor you bring, the greater your responsibility Chapter 59: News about the Diamond Mine
"What!? There are diamond mines in City D?" Shen Jin shouted.
Zhu Dan covered his ears and said in pain, "Why are you yelling so loudly! Who doesn't know that there is a diamond mine in the D City Digging Shop? What's so surprising?"
Shen Jin also found that he had lost his composure. Diamonds might be just beautiful gems to others. There had been endless debate about their value before the end of the world. Some people believed that diamonds were hyped up to make money, and that they only made half the money they earned, which was far less than gold.
But there are also people, mostly women, who are crazy about diamonds, believing that diamonds are the most beautiful things in the world and symbolize love, such as the brand advertisement that was very popular before the end of the world:
A man can only buy one diamond ring in his lifetime.
It's the best marketing of the year!
Shen Jin had no opinion on this, because he had no girlfriend before the end of the world...
But now! Shen Jin urgently needs a large amount of diamonds, which can be used to make tools, weapons, armor and energy crystals!
With the Minecraft system, Shen Jin doesn’t care whether diamonds look good or not. He only knows that this thing is the hardest natural substance - diamond!
"Oh! I'm not from D City, and I've never paid attention to this kind of news. Can you tell me more about it?"
Zhu Dan had originally shot out... spider silk, but now he retracted it, "Okay... Wafangdian is the largest primary diamond deposit in China, and it is also the largest known diamond mine in Asia. The total reserves account for half of the country's total reserves. It is estimated to contain more than 200,000 carats of diamonds, which can be mined for 30 years. It should be... 10 years now, right? I guess there are still a lot left. What I know are all the things on the surface. I don't know the specific situation inside. After all, the army used to guard the mining, and ordinary people couldn't get in."
"Wow! So many! If I can find them, won't I never have to worry about [diamonds] again?"
Zhu Dan was a little puzzled. "What do you want this for? It looks good but you can't eat it. Besides... diamond processing is very troublesome. It's hard to use it in industry without professional equipment. You don't want to dig diamonds to give to your mistress, do you?"
Shen Jin's face was dark. "Fuck, I don't have a beautiful woman in my house. Mu Yan was just rescued by me and lives here. It's not what you think. Tell me what the current situation of this mine is? Where is it exactly?"
Zhu Dan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, okay, I believe it! I remember... it seems to be over there on Sun Street. If you go over there, you should be able to find it. After all, it's a big mine pit, very conspicuous. I haven't been there since the end of the world. It's too far away, and my energy is not enough to support me to walk over there. But I guess... the army should have withdrawn, right? They have established a base over there at the Grain Storage Bureau, so they should have no manpower to take care of the diamond mine anymore!"
"Well... it's really far. I might go there when I have the conditions. Thank you for bringing me this news. It helps me a lot! Wait, I'll give you something to express my gratitude!"
Shen went into the equipment box in the workshop, took out a helmet and gave it to Zhu Dan.
"This is a [solar helmet]. If you wear it normally, it can generate electricity continuously and then wirelessly charge the electrical appliances on your body. Although the power generation capacity is not much... but it can charge a mobile phone, flashlight, etc.!"
Zhu Dan took the [solar helmet] in surprise and took a closer look. It was a helmet with a blue crystal shell and a silver-white internal structure. It looked very technological!
"I can't see through you any more... Could this kind of technological content be... a national strategic technology? Never mind, I won't ask any more questions. Just give it to me. You don't have to worry about running out of battery when watching movies in the future. I'm leaving now!"
Zhu Dan was carrying a fully-charged [battery box charging station] on his back, wearing a [solar helmet ], and spider silk was ejected from his wrists, "Sizzle~!"
Wandering outside, the 30-meter-high wall seemed nothing. Zhu Dan's voice came from the air: "By the way! If you need help going to the diamond mine, you can come to me! But... you have to provide food!"
Shen Jin laughed and shouted, "I know!!!"
Watching Zhu Dan walk away, Shen Jin thought to himself: "Diamond mines are good things... but the journey is too far. The straight-line distance to Hongshui Bay is about 120 kilometers. It won't be too late to go there after I get out of the jetpack. Otherwise, there will be too many changes on the road and it will be unstable. After we have cleaned up the area south of the Brigade District by the sea and incorporated it into the territory... we will attack to the north and push the front line up!"
Beside the matchbox, Mu Yan and Shen Mengmeng watched Spider-Man leave with resentment. They had prepared a big job last night and wanted Shen Jin to appreciate it, but... he had a long conversation with a man all night.
"Meng Meng, let's not rush. Tonight, we must take down Shen Jin tonight!"
"Um!"
The two of them waited for most of the night, and after getting up in the morning they took over the cooking task. They have been busy until now and were so sleepy that they went back to catch up on their sleep.
The first day of seducing Shen Jin... failed.
After sending Zhu Dan away, Shen Jin found Zhao Chao who was training female soldiers. "Old Zhao, how are these people's physical tests? How far do they lag behind the Corpse Killing Team?"
Old Zhao pondered for a moment and said slowly: "In terms of physical fitness... basically it's not bad. The most important thing is combat awareness. These women have been bullied to some extent and are a little timid. They need to practice this aspect first before they can carry out missions alone like the Corpse Killing Team. Otherwise, problems are likely to arise!"
Shen Jin thought that he was only 200 [World Coins] away from unlocking [Intermediate Industry I], and he was a little impatient to complete the task. "Old Zhao, how about this ? Since they need to train their courage, let them go to the battlefield to train directly. Let them go out with the Corpse Killing Team to clear out the zombies. Take good care of them and make sure there are no casualties!"
Lao Zhao thought about it and said, "This is also possible. When the zombie-killing team was still composed of ordinary people, they followed you to kill zombies. Logically speaking, a level 1 transcendent will not encounter any accidents. Moreover, they are protected by full body armor, so they are quite safe!"
"Okay, then you take them you. Remember, you must kill as many zombies as possible and clean up the area south of the travel entrance. Don't leave any behind!"
"Okay! I promise to complete the mission! Um... your gun training will be held at night?"
"Um!"
Shen Jin is now secretly training with guns. Zhao Chao helped him find some old armories in the Brigade Entrance Area and replenished bullets and howitzers for Shen Jin's MK18. He also found a lot of weapons and asked Shen Jin to bring them back. What surprised Shen Jin the most was that there were 4 barrels!
There are quite a lot of armor-piercing high-explosive bombs and iron-flake lethal bombs in stock, so Shen Jin's mid-range fire suppression has been upgraded again.
Shen Jin's secret training in the past few days was mainly to understand how to use the barrel. With his current physique, it is no problem for him to carry the barrel around alone. The recoil that ordinary people worry about is not a problem for him at all. Moreover, Shen Jin does not need a special loader. He has two sets of grenades in his backpack and can load them at any time. It can be said that it is very convenient. This kind of barrel can kill enemies on a large scale, use high-explosive bombs to hit zombies and buildings, and use iron sheet bullets to hit people.
“Ding ding ding~!”
Shen Jin's satellite phone suddenly rang. "Huh? It's the D City government calling... What do you want to talk to me about?"
