# Chapter 1449: Forced Conscription
You know, the entire Moon Eye had a diameter of 800 kilometers!
And after falling for such a long time, the depth of this Moon Eye was simply unimaginable!
Jiangnan couldn't help but wonder if these One-Eyed bastards had dug all the way down to the moon's core!
After all, the entire moon's diameter was only 3,476.28 kilometers!
And the depth of this Moon Eye had definitely exceeded a thousand kilometers!
The maximum distance Jiangnan could teleport in one go was only ten thousand meters, a mere 10 kilometers!
A hundred teleports just to reach the bottom? What kind of terrifying depth was this?
And what kind of thing had caused such violent tremors in a Moon Eye mining pit of this scale?
Geological activity on the moon had ceased long ago!
As the depth of descent increased dramatically, the temperature inside the Moon Eye had reached an astonishing level!
Even the spacesuit could barely hold up, the inside was as hot as a steamer!
Even Jiangnan was drenched in sweat!
Although the moon's geological activity had long ceased, the temperature of its inner core was still not low!
The closer to the core, the higher the temperature!
And for the One-Eyed to be able to mine in such an environment? That was pretty beastly too!
Just then, Li Bing kept pulling on Jiangnan's sleeve!
"Jiangnan Gege! Look! We're almost at the bottom!"
They saw that the pitch-black bottom of the Moon Eye was rugged and uneven, with tens of thousands of faint lights glowing scattered everywhere!
It was the One-Eyed mining brigade!
They were all in dormant mode, conserving as much energy stored in their eyes as possible!
Both fists were whirling like shadows, frantically mining at the bottom of the Moon Eye, like humanoid jackhammers!
Sparks were even flying, making a "clang clang clang" sound!
This showed just how hard the moon rock at this depth was under the high temperature and pressure!
Jiangnan teleported with the others and landed at the bottom of the Moon Eye!
Stopping their descent!
Looking at the scene of tens of thousands of One-Eyed soldiers mining, the corners of his mouth twitched!
"Damn? They're digging by hand? That's not scientific! Even if a One-Eyed could continuously mine for a month on a full charge!"
"There's no way they could have pulled off a project this big in just a few months!"
"And where did all that mined moon rock go?"
No matter how deep you dig, the dirt you dig out should still be on the moon!
The moon's mass couldn't have decreased overall, could it?
Jiangnan and the others were plunged into deep confusion!
Each One-Eyed had its own mining spot, and the hard moon rock they dug out was piled up like mountains beside them!
The entire bottom of the Moon Eye was hollowed out like a honeycomb!
From time to time, the One-Eyed would activate their full-energy form, using their penetrating vision to check if there were any Origin Sparks or associated minerals below!
If they encountered moon rock too hard to dig, they'd blast it with a Star Pupil Cannon!
Then continue digging!
This made Chen Daoyi and Li Bing nervous, afraid that the One-Eyed running at full energy would discover their trail!
But this worry was completely unnecessary!
The One-Eyed mainly relied on vision, and Jiangnan and the others, being black to the extreme, didn't reflect any light at all!
Since their eyes received no reflected light, they naturally couldn't detect Jiangnan and the others!
They truly merged with the darkness!
Strolling openly at the bottom of the Moon Eye, the One-Eyed couldn't see them at all!
It was even better than an invisibility cloak!
Some One-Eyed, while digging, unearthed a huge piece of associated mineral!
Full of joy, they stood up, wiped the hot sweat from their foreheads,
and pointed at the associated mineral excitedly!
(#ಡ)"Ha! Look what I dug up? I can hand this in and go rest!"
The other One-Eyed glanced over but pouted!
ᕙ(#ಠ)"Are you hallucinating from digging? You didn't dig up a damn thing!"
(#￢)"Brother? Are you suffering from mining syndrome? You should do some eye exercises when you get back~"
(#≖)"Hey~ just keep digging. I still have 78.4% energy reserves. Who knows how long it'll take to use up!"
(#꒪ͦ#)"Ahhh~ I really want to dig up a Fire Seed, then I can go back to the city and rest. But at least I have 17% energy left, I can go out and absorb energy soon!"
The One-Eyed was stunned, turned to look back, and was terrified!
(ʘ̥̆‖)What the hell? Where was that huge piece of associated mineral I just dug up?
It just... disappeared?
He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, but there was nothing in front of him except the mining pit!
Could it really be that he was hallucinating from digging?
Disappointed, the One-Eyed sighed and lowered his head to continue mining!
Li Bing and Alice, watching Jiangnan by the mining pit, covered their faces!
(ﾉ)﹏(ヾ)(づ﹏ど)
The moment someone dug something up, he took it and stuffed it into his cannon barrel?
If he couldn't steal from the warehouse, he'd steal from the source!
"Jiangnan Gege? Is this really okay?"
Jiangnan spoke earnestly!
(｡･ˇ～ˇ･｡)"Alice! This isn't stealing! Taking it behind their backs would be stealing! But I took it right in front of them!"
"This is robbery!"
Alice understood: (*ﾟﾛﾟ)"Makes sense, makes sense!"
Li Bing: (·•᷄ࡇ•᷅)???
Hey hey hey!
Is there any difference?
At the bottom of the Moon Eye, One-Eyed kept exclaiming in surprise!
"Hey, what the hell? Where's the big piece of Origin Spark I just dug up? I clearly saw it!"
"Where did it come from? Do you have blue-light glaucoma or cataracts?"
"Hiss~ No way! I dug one up too, how did it disappear all of a sudden?"
Some One-Eyed were so anxious they paced in circles scratching their heads, while others refused to believe it and frantically pounded their own eyes, thinking they were hallucinating.
Jiangnan, meanwhile, was puzzled as he robbed!
Where did these Origin Sparks and associated minerals come from?
Were they native ores originally on the moon?
But their shapes were all irregular, more like fragments, and scattered randomly with no pattern whatsoever!
This was not how a mineral deposit should look!
Moreover, Origin Sparks and associated minerals weren't found together, which made Jiangnan even more suspicious!
The Origin Sparks on the moon probably weren't native ores, but something foreign?
And at such a deep underground level?
How did the Origin Sparks get here? And who put them here?
Jiangnan's mind was full of questions!
Meanwhile, at the check-out point!
The mining team supervisor, Eva, was frowning at this scene!
(ꐦ@)"What are you all doing? Get back to work! Energy reserves must not fall below 0.33% before you can clock out and leave!"
"Whoever digs up associated minerals can leave the pit early; whoever digs up Origin Sparks can go back to the city and rest!"
"If I catch anyone slacking off, I'll poke your eye out!"
In front of the rock wall at the edge of the Moon Eye, a female One-Eyed nearly five meters tall was scolding sternly!
Like Eger, she was a Watermelon-level One-Eyed!
Belonging to the leadership!
Her pink hair was braided into dreadlocks and coiled at the back of her head, her figure was curvaceous and explosive!
At this moment, she was holding a small mirror, applying mineral ash as eyeshadow!
Seeing Eva scolding them, the One-Eyed were terrified and worked harder!
Jiangnan shuddered!
Another Watermelon-level One-Eyed?
And a female?
And there's a mining team supervisor?
"Clock out and leave" was a thing?
Working nonstop, not allowed to clock out until energy was below 0.33%?
Damn!
The factory owner would cry watching this operation, and even capitalists would kneel!
Wait a minute!
At that moment, Jiangnan's eyes suddenly lit up!
The reason One-Eyed were so hard to deal with was the extremely powerful energy stored in their single eye!
Whether it was regeneration, Star Pupil Cannon, or a series of other abilities, all required energy to activate!
If there was no energy, wouldn't the One-Eyed be like a dead phone, a brick?
No wonder so many hangers-on climbing up past failed to dodge falling rocks!
For a Yuzu-level One-Eyed, dodging falling rocks would be a piece of cake!
The reason they couldn't dodge was that the energy in their bodies was only enough to climb out of the pit, not enough for anything else?
At this moment, Jiangnan's mind suddenly became active!
He quickly looked toward the check-out point!
Hundreds of One-Eyed were covered in mineral slag, sweating profusely!
Their faces full of exhaustion, their grapefruit-sized eyes only opened into small slits!
They were queuing like zombies at the check-out point!
Eva sat at the check-out point, slapping her big hand against the One-Eyed miner's eye!
"Hmm? 0.32% left? Go on, go on!"
"Oh ho? 0.17%? You worked that hard? I'll count you as an excellent miner this time!"
The One-Eyed grinned: "Thank you, Sister Eva!"
"Get lost! Don't call me that, do I know you? Our eyes don't match, we're not of the same class! Go go go!"
With that, she kicked the One-Eyed away, next!
"Hiss~ 0.66%? You still have this much energy and you want to clock out? Dream on! Go back and keep digging!"
"I've got my eye on you, don't even think about leaving until you're below 0.1%!"
That One-Eyed looked dejected and silently went back to continue digging!
(｡థ)...
Even Jiangnan couldn't bear to watch!
The One-Eyed worked hard and endured, mining diligently, but had no human rights?
This was too brutal!
Jiangnan found it extremely outrageous, so he decided to help these poor One-Eyed!
Help them escape the oppression of the mining supervisor!
So he motioned to Chen Daoyi, Li Bing, and the others!
They quickly moved to the rock wall near the back of the check-out point!
Alice asked in surprise: "Why are we here? It's dangerous being so close to a Watermelon-level One-Eyed, isn't it?"
Jiangnan looked serious: (๑•̀◠•́)و"Don't you think these One-Eyed are pitiful?"
"Digging day and night, only allowed to leave when they're completely drained, this is totally inhumane!"
"If I just stand by and watch, my conscience won't allow it!"
Alice was stunned, thought about it!
(･᷄～･᷅)"It... it is a bit inhumane~"
Chen Daoyi: ???
What the hell? You're starting to feel sorry for the One-Eyed now?
When you dropped a nuke in Tongcheng earlier, didn't you feel sorry for them?
Isn't this a racial survival struggle? You have to be ruthless!
Now you suddenly have compassion?
Jiangnan nodded: (⇀‸↼)"So! I've decided to catch these off-duty One-Eyed and take them back as our experimental samples! Free them from Eva's oppression!"
"Let's grab a hundred or so conscripts first!"
Alice: =͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇)Huh?
Li Bing's eyes lit up with excitement!
ԅ(✧﹃✧ԅ)"Catch them! Grab more! Hehe~ hehehe~"
Chen Daoyi: (ﾉ)´-﹏-`)...
I was overthinking. Why was I even worried?
This guy has no conscience!
