Old Hu and his companions walked out of the mine together and looked up at the sky, which was already darkening with dusk.
"Old Hu, how much did we dig today?" A companion next to Old Hu asked, inquiring about the day's labor results.
Not all of the dozen or so men went down into the mine; only eleven were actually working underground, while the other three were on the surface handling the ore they dug up.
"You'd better ask Xiao Tang and the others, but it should be over a hundred tons today, right?" Old Hu shook his head, only able to give an approximate estimate.
Before the disaster, a small iron mine of the scale they contracted could dig about 20-50 tons of ore a day.
Old Hu and the others, relying on the drills from the industrial ship and the mining exoskeletons provided by the state, have seen a significant increase in production efficiency.
Digging over a hundred tons of ore a day isn't considered too exaggerated.
