Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 1206 Anxin Home Deep in the Mine

Chu Chen smiled slightly at the ten people behind him, and then led them into the huge flying ship.

After finding his own area to sit down, Chu Chen realized that the airship was very small, and the seats were so small that people were crammed together.

And directly opposite him was none other than Ji Yue, the centurion.

The two men's knees touched, and for a moment the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

Just like taking a plane and buying a discounted ticket, sitting face-to-face with the flight attendant, Chu Chen really wanted to ask, "What do you do for a living?"

But she didn't understand this kind of joke, and guessed she would get beaten up.

So, to break the awkward silence, someone asked, "Lord Centurion, are you going down the well too?"

"What well?"

"Um, so you're going down there too, to mine?"

"I don't need to. Just supervise you. This is your first time mining, so listen to Lao Zhu later."

Ji Yue said a few words, then closed her eyes to rest.

Chu Chen wisely kept his mouth shut. Everyone else was waiting for the ship to depart with their eyes closed, making him seem rather out of place.

Just as Chu Chen was looking around, Ji Yue's cold voice came from the other side again: "The flying boat is about to depart. Close your eyes, unless you want to go blind."

What's going on? Chu Chen closed his eyes, somewhat puzzled.

The next moment, he felt the entire airship shake. Then, even with his eyes closed, Chu Chen still felt a strong light coming from it.

To avoid blinding himself, Chu Chen waved his hand and pulled out an eye mask, putting it on his head.

Immediately afterwards, the airship emitted a loud buzzing sound that hurt people's ears.

But this feeling only lasted for a few minutes; a few minutes later, the entire airship returned to stability.

Chu Chen's blindfold was pulled off by Ji Yue opposite him: "Take a good look at the scenery outside. This is your first time outside the universe."

Following Ji Yue's voice, Chu Chen looked towards the observation port outside, and the next moment, he was completely captivated by the scenery outside.

"Haha, science really does live up to its promise. It seems that those photos of the universe in modern society are indeed quite accurate."

Chu Chen sighed as he looked outside.

Outside, countless orbs of light shone, displaying a dazzling array of colors.

Countless moving celestial bodies trace lines across the universe.

But that's all Chu Chen could see with his naked eye. There was nothing he could do; the universe was too vast for the human eye to see completely.

Perhaps I need to go very, very far away to see the whole universe.

Shifting my gaze away from the universe and looking elsewhere, all I could see was pitch blackness; not even a single glimmer of light, not even a star, could be found.

Chu Chen didn't know what lay beyond the universe, but if there were mines there, then there must be other things as well.

Chu Chen was very self-aware that these things were beyond his current understanding. Sometimes, the more you know, the more troubled you become.

About half an hour later, the airship shook violently, and suddenly, Chu Chen felt a turbulence similar to an airplane landing.

The next moment, the manager's voice rang out from inside the flying boat.

"Gentlemen, take your tools and go out through the passage to enter the mine."

Following the crowd, Chu Chen disembarked from the flying boat and found a passage, made of some unknown material, appearing before him.

So he turned to Old Zhu and asked, "Why do we need to build a passage? Can't we go outside? Can't humans breathe?"

"Breathe? Yes, you can breathe, but it's too cold outside. If a human goes out, he'll freeze to death in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

"Unless we have the strength of a Heavenly Saint, we cannot travel outside."

After listening, Chu Chen nodded to show that he understood, and then followed the main group straight ahead.

After walking for about ten minutes, Chu Chen sensed that the walls of the passage had changed to a different material, neither quite earth nor quite gold.

It seems we've reached the mine entrance.

Sure enough, after walking about a mile and making a sharp turn, Chu Chen saw a campsite that opened up into the open.

The camp was bustling with people, and a large, brightly lit spot above illuminated the entire camp.

Moreover, people standing in these lights can also feel a slight warmth.

"Old Zhu, is that the sun or the moon on that?"

"You mean this, sir? This is incredible. This is a sun that the Heavenly Emperor obtained from a small space. With it, we can live in the camp just like we do outside."

"Does that mean there's no night here?"

"No, no, no, the Heavenly Emperor shuts that thing down on a schedule so that we can live just like we do outside. So life is exactly the same as outside."

"It's just that it's colder at night than in our previous military camp."

Chu Chen nodded after listening. It was obvious that the entire mining area had been turned into a small world.

As Chu Chen learned more about this place, he discovered that it was actually a small world, complete with restaurants, clothing shops, shops selling all kinds of daily necessities, and even brothels.

As the crowd dispersed, Chu Chen and his team of a hundred people were soon positioned in front of a row of houses that housed ten mine shafts.

Each mine shaft corresponds to a house. After Chu Chen led Lao Zhu and the others into the house, he immediately felt that it was much more spacious than the so-called military camp.

"You guessed right, life is better here."

Chu Chen looked around and asked them.

"My lord, you may not know this, but we have been assigned to a second-class mining area, which is closer to the sun and has much richer mineral deposits. All of this is thanks to Lord Bai."

After some investigation, Chu Chen understood.

Because some of the leaders managing this place coveted Ji Yue, these people received better treatment.

Mining areas are divided into three grades, with the first-grade areas reserved for people with powerful connections.

Ordinary miners typically work in third-class mining areas, which are far from the sun and have limited reserves.

Their small team of a hundred people was considered to be at the bottom, but with the beautiful Ji Yue by their side, their treatment was much better than that of people in the third-class mining area.

Chu Chen didn't care about all that. With his cheat-like abilities, he figured he could survive outside thanks to the self-heating technology.

So after learning a little about it, Chu Chen resumed the previous operation.

They replaced all the previous bedding and other items, and even tried using solar panels. After finding that they worked, they installed lights throughout the house.

As for heating, air conditioning, and other such things, Chu Chen has no plans to develop them for the time being.

Even so, their lives are much better than others.

The next morning, a horn sounded and gathered everyone at the entrance of the mine.

Ji Yue glanced at everyone expressionlessly: "Go into the cave and start mining!"
