Cyber Era Witch

Chapter 1076: Chapter 837: If Moving Forward

Returning to the Vermilion Purple Mine and re-evaluating the site, Pan Ruiyi still felt amazed by its scale.

The guards and robots she had eliminated had been cleared away, the Xisheng people had fled, leaving only the vast expanse of steel and machinery, confining the entire dune like a cage. Towering cranes and drill bits cut the ground like knives, stretching endlessly.

In the past, this would have been an engineering feat worthy of the history books, but with modern technology, such a gigantic mining base was nothing extraordinary.

“That’s the mine shaft—it needs miners or giant sandworms to dig downwards,” Aisha pointed to the Vermilion Purple Mine.

Only 3% of the mine’s output had been restored. Pan Ruiyi could clearly hear the hum of machines from the labyrinth of tunnels and caves, even capturing the scent of metal and fuel from such a distance.

Huge mining vehicles were parked on the dunes, a total of 20, but only 1 contained a paltry amount of spice, roughly only about 3 barrels.

If the mining operation couldn’t be restarted, Pan Ruiyi’s effort would have been in vain!

“Are the other workers too afraid to come?” Pan Ruiyi asked.

“We announced it online, but the companies from the Near East took it down, and I sent servants to Asha Port to invite people for work, but the servants were killed too,” Aisha sighed.

“Asha Port?” Pan Ruiyi vaguely remembered it wasn’t far.

“It used to be a noble territory ruled by my family,” Aisha said.

Pan Ruiyi saw the massive mechanical arms and laser mining and cutting tools in the mine, which should have been working together perfectly to extract the precious spice from deep within the earth.

She could imagine them operating at full capacity, a beautiful dance between man and machine, seamlessly cooperating to maximize efficiency and productivity.
