Chapter 481 Gathering Intelligence

"Let me go...each employee only has 4 hours of rest time every day? Black-hearted capitalists can't be so evil!"

In the lobby on the first floor, when Wang Zhifan heard the base commander in front announcing the great endeavor plan for all employees starting from early tomorrow morning, Wang Zhifan felt a little unbearable.

It's not that he personally can't bear such high-intensity working hours, but that he doubts whether his 100 miners and 20 security captains can sustain it.

If these people are exhausted to death because their work is too anti-human, his team's monthly death quota will definitely exceed the standard. How will he be able to clear this dungeon by then?

"Let's take a look at the specific situation first. If this Ji Laodeng is stubborn and insists on tormenting people, then we must give him some means."

After thinking about it, Wang Zhifan still remained calm on his face, but he had already made plans in his heart and would never let anyone interfere with his ability to clear the dungeon.

Thus, in the hall on the first floor, the month-end summary meeting ended quickly with the angry words of the base commander.

This old white man in a black formal suit did not speak for long before choosing to end the meeting and leave in a hurry. He was slightly different from Wang Zhifan's impression of those high-ranking officials who were obsessed with meetings.

"Won't this old guy hold another small meeting for us captains?"

Based on his personal experience, Wang Zhifan predicted that after the plenary meeting, the base commander would hold an internal meeting with the captains, each of whom was in charge of more than a hundred people, but the result was not like this at all, which made him vaguely feel that he The so-called security team may not have a high status in the base as expected.

Just as he narrowed his eyes and pondered this slightly subtle matter, behind him a young white man wearing a blue security uniform and holding a gun walked over quickly and asked in a low voice next to him:

"Captain, where should the miners go next? Should they go back to the dormitory to rest first or go directly to the mining area?"

After Wang Zhifan heard this, he immediately looked sideways at him standing to the side and said calmly:

"How long is it until midnight?"

The member of the security team immediately raised his hand and glanced at the electronic watch on his wrist, and quickly replied:

"Report to the captain, there are less than two hours left."

"Then let the miners go back to their dormitories to rest. Remember to let them eat if they are not full, and then go to work on time in the early morning."

"As you command!"

After communicating with Wang Zhifan, this member of the security team immediately turned back to inform other team members, and began to skillfully organize the 100 prisoner miners of his team to leave the hall on the first floor in an orderly manner.

Almost at the same time, most of the other miners in the hall also began to evacuate, and only a few stayed in place to be lectured by their security captain.

In the hall that gradually became empty, the contrast between the stern-speaking superiors and the silent prisoner miners gave people a sense of militarized corporate management.

"According to the description in the copy, these miners should all be criminals, but at a glance, I haven't found any obvious thorns among them. The collective discipline is pretty good. I guess the security team is not lenient in their daily management."

Wang Zhifan did not leave the hall immediately. He observed silently for a while before preparing to leave to collect more needed information.

Unexpectedly, a security captain who had just finished training his team suddenly walked towards him and waved to him. He should be an acquaintance who knew him.

"Captain Wang, why didn't you leave? Shouldn't you have gone into the mine with your boys at this time in the past?"

The person who came was a rare yellow man among the 16 security captains. He looked about thirty years old, dark, lean and lean. From the nameplate on the chest of his captain's uniform, it could be seen that his surname was Qian and Aaron.

"Haha, you have to give your subordinates some rest time...Aaron, do you think that old man is crazy? Starting from next month, he will only give his subordinates four hours of rest every day. Who can bear this?"

Although Wang Zhifan didn't know the security captain in front of him at all, he understood that the other person's knowledge of him was definitely a potential arrangement of the dungeon, so he pretended to be familiar with him and started chatting with him.

"Who says it isn't?"

As expected, the dark, lean and capable captain named Qian Yalun deeply agreed with what Wang Zhifan said. A hint of irritation flashed in his eyes, and he continued:

"I heard that the old man was severely criticized by the people above in the communication today. He said that he was scolded so badly that he went crazy and came up with this rule!

We, the people, should not touch his troubles for the time being. After a few days, his anger subsides a bit and he realizes that this rule cannot last forever. Then we can join forces to talk to him. There should be a lot of hope that he can restore his working hours to his original state. . "

"My opponent! I have the same plan."

"Hey? Where did you get the long knife hanging on your waist? It looks pretty good! It's not cheap! Why haven't I seen you bring it out before?"

"This is my family heirloom. It used to be kept in a cabinet. Now I plan to let it breathe more."

"You're quite particular! But you have to keep an eye on this thing. Be careful of some miner stealing it and selling it to a store for alcohol. The store owner is a bastard who doesn't even recognize his relatives..."

…

The two then chatted for a while. Wang Zhifan quietly inquired about some information he needed to know, such as the location of the mining area, where he worked and rested, and the potential dangers of the job. Then he and Qian Yalun parted ways to work on their own. own things.

"It turns out that the ore mined in the mine now can be counted in the upcoming next month's performance. No wonder most of the mining teams have already gone to the mining area to start work... But it doesn't matter. The miners have to rest. It doesn't mean that starting work early will only have benefits. of."

Through a conversation with Qian Yalun, Wang Zhifan has learned most of his work indirectly, and understands how different it is for him to let his mining team go to the dormitory to rest.

"So what is the difficulty of this copy? Forcing the miners to work hard to mine? This should not be a big problem for me... I guess it will involve combat in the end...

Qian Yalun also said just now that there are many ferocious alien creatures on this prison planet. In the past, many miners and security team members were eaten by them as rations...

And the miners are not easy to deal with. They will riot from time to time. Some security team members were killed or disabled by them, but they can't kill all the troublemakers because the higher-ups will not accept a large loss of their own human and property."

While walking towards the captain's office, Wang Zhifan was thinking in his mind, making the most basic summary and judgment of the situation in this copy, so that he could have a clear idea of ​​the possible situation.

He initially deduced that the difficulty of this copy should not be very high. Compared with the disaster copy he had experienced before, it is probably just a piece of cake.

After all, how dangerous can a prison planet with few permanent residents and only prisoners forced to mine be? Could the monsters on this planet be powerful enough to master the laws of time and space?

Not to mention the prisoner miners, except for the players who sneaked in, Wang Zhifan felt that their physical fitness was not much different from that of ordinary workers on Earth. Without hot weapons in hand, it was hard to say how strong their combat power was.

"It seems that the extraordinary game has accepted the existence of my bug and given up targeting me with all its strength... I hope my idea is not naive."

With some divergent thoughts, Wang Zhifan spent the next hour in his captain's office, specifically, searching for public information on the computer in the office.

This undoubtedly greatly improved his understanding of the environment he was in, as well as his understanding of his job responsibilities and rights.

For example, he learned from public information that the K54 prison planet he was currently on was a planet exclusively owned by the Kaibo Interstellar Group.

Legally speaking, any other organization's spacecraft may not land without authorization, and even approaching for exploration will be regarded as an offense and will be expelled or even attacked by the K54 prison planet's global orbital protection fleet.

Wang Zhifan also found more detailed information about the natural conditions of K54 Prison Star.

Somewhat to his surprise, he found that the conditions of this planet were not too bad in terms of various indicators, and it could even be called habitable.

Its global average temperature is close to 30 degrees Celsius, water resources are slightly scarce but not difficult to obtain, the atmospheric oxygen content is about 20%, there is no excessive toxic gas content, and the gravity coefficient is only 1.1g. Except for the vicious creatures on the planet, which are a bit difficult to deal with, there are no major survival difficulties.

But the Kaibo Interstellar Group set this place as a prison star, only allowing interstellar criminals to come here to mine and suffer, creating some benefits while achieving the purpose of labor reform.

Instead of completely starting from the perspective of creating benefits, using large-scale mining robots for operation. It can be said that it is a waste of talent.

The mining base where they are currently located is the only mining base on K54 Prison Star indicated in the computer data. Although it seems to be not small in scale, for a huge interstellar group like Kaibo, the industrial value is so small that it can be completely ignored.

However, the top management of Kaibo pays great attention to this place, and the performance indicators of each base employee are strictly enforced, so no one can just sit back and do nothing.

Once a base employee is lazy and warned but does not change, the soldiers of the orbital garrison fleet will come down to take him away, so that he can feel the humanitarian style of Kaibo Interstellar Group, which is famous in the universe.

In addition to these macro-perspective information, Wang Zhifan also learned about the various configurations in the base.

He found that in addition to the miners and security team members, most of the other staff in this base are biochemical people, that is, non-natural people with control chips in their bodies.

These biochemical people are completely controlled by the group's AI system, and together with some robots, they maintain the basic functions of the base.

Therefore, when Wang Zhifan held the meeting before, he found that most of their group did not attend, because they did not need to be present, and the so-called base commander could not control these biochemical people.

In terms of basic living conditions, in order to match the prisoner transformation function, the base only meets basic survival requirements.

For example, the free ration of prisoners' food is only the lowest-level nutritional paste, which is mediocre in nutrition but disgusting in taste.

If the prisoners want to improve their lives, they must spend their meager wages to buy food from the base store, where there are more normal human food.

Apart from food, prisoners are mostly only allowed to wear uniform black and white striped prison uniforms.

Clothes have to be washed by themselves when they are free, and showering is also done in their spare time.

They live in a large dormitory with multi-layered plank beds with blind-angle monitoring and harsh robot guards.

It is generally unwise to make trouble in the dormitory, as the robot guards will electrocute you and make your whole body smoke.

In contrast, the treatment of prisoner managers such as security team members is better.

First of all, the nutritional paste eaten by the security team members is more humane, richer in nutrients and more normal in taste. There are also several different flavors to choose from, and you can tolerate it for a long time after getting used to it.

Then the beds in the collective dormitory of the security team are more comfortable, and there will be no blind-angle monitoring and robot guards, so you will be much freer and more comfortable when you rest.

Captains like Wang Zhifan even have private rooms with private bathrooms, giving them full privacy.

In addition to basic living conditions, team members also have a dedicated training room where they can practice marksmanship and armed mechas in their spare time, or simulate fighting with some ferocious local creatures, as long as the team member is really free and motivated to train.

As for other equipment such as mining prison vehicles and medical staff, the base is also not lacking.

But these relevant personnel are biochemical people or robots, and generally do not need the security team to worry about it. When needed, just call someone.

"The planning of this mining base is really strange. The technology is so advanced that it can conduct global unmanned and high-efficiency mining, but they still have to torment people in such a half-hearted way. Do they really expect to reform prisoners in this way? This brain The circuit is really hard to understand.”

After digesting the public information on the computer in the captain's office, Wang Zhifan had a lot to complain about but had no one to talk to.

He saw that the time was not far from midnight, so he left here and visited the key locations in the base.

Walking through it with his own legs, he found that the base was larger and more complex than the information map showed. If there weren't route guides everywhere, it would be easy to get lost.

After a while, he saw that zero o'clock was almost here, so he headed towards the dormitory where his 100 miners belonged. At the same time, he notified his 20 team members on his communication watch to gather and get ready.

He found this communication watch on his office desk, along with a captain's uniform, personal nameplate, combat mecha control panel, captain's whip, captain's pistol, and captain's rifle in the office cabinet. He is no longer what he was before. The state of disguise using invisible clothes is a genuine captain's complete set, which can completely withstand any inspection.

But just as he was about to arrive at his destination, a female figure suddenly appeared out of thin air from a passage blocked by a metal isolation door, blocking his path.

She was about twenty-five years old, a yellow woman with average appearance, wearing a black and white striped prison uniform, with a calm expression. Wang Zhifan had an impression of her as a player miner in another team.

"Sir, I think you should be a player...I want to cooperate with you."

The visitor seemed to have seen through Wang Zhifan's identity, and spoke directly as soon as he showed up. (End of chapter)
