“Nice, you could help too if your willing to.”
I promised to help and mine the materials of the fuel. The officer then led me in the “not in service” station
and the manager gave a scroll of paper to me and to my surprise, there were millions ,billions and even
trillions ores to mine, some of them are titanium, uranium, sulfur, graphite and lots of other ores. It felt like
it’s going to take forever, but I had no choice, I really wanted to go home. So alongside with other miners
that the station manager had recruited, we went to an unexplored cave and started to mine.
Mining was way too boring it’s just stone and stone around us with only little ore. We travelled to different
cave and mined for months. It was boring for me because I’ve seen these ores already for a few times already
so I don’t really feel amazed to see them. Weeks and months had passed, we finally finish the mining
process. The scientists made the fuel from our collected ores and “Hooray!” The station was reopened and I
got to ride on the first train! I sat on a seat and looked at the portal ahead of us.
“All board!” an officer shouted. The train started slowly and then all of a sudden the train was speeding up,
until we were traveling like lightning. “Swoosh!” The train got into the hyper-space portal. It was so dizzy,
I fell asleep instantly.
“Washington, America station! The officer at the other station shouted to the train. I woke up and walked
off the train, it felt like I was in the greater bay for centuries already. I went home and told my stories to my
family. It was a long trip about mining and I even get to know what technology do they have in the greater
bay. I feel so impressive about their technology. I am sure I will go there again.
