Ronan Kendrick stopped the rock drill in front of Copper Mine Mountain, and the others retreated dozens of meters. The DRUM DRUM DRUM of drilling rang out. Within a few minutes, dust was flying everywhere as a huge chunk of copper ore was excavated. Ethan Dawson drove the excavator forward, transporting the ore to a clear space nearby. The two worked in perfect sync, and in just two hours, they had finished excavating three tons of copper ore.
"Should we break this copper ore into smaller pieces?"
Evelyn Ford shook her head. "No need. The large chunks are easier to transport."
Quincy yawned off to the side. "And here I thought I'd get to help. They did all the work."
"Let's go." Ronan Kendrick climbed down from the rock drill, taking Evelyn Ford's hand to leave the mining area.
"This should be enough. It's all top-quality copper ore." Ethan Dawson impatiently took off his hard hat. The dust in the air was so thick that he started sneezing the moment it was off.
