Metal Puppets

The global war ended two hundred years ago, not with a bang, but with a whimper. Nations fought until resources were almost completely exhausted. By the time a cease-fire was called, the ability to return to the pre-war industrial era was nearly impossible. With the lack of resources, humanity declined to a quasi-medieval society of city states. Now 200 years later "Metalmancers" or those with the ability to control and shape metal have started to appear. With these Metalmancers and their abilities to salvage and possibly operate pre-war technology, forces have started to come into play to vie for control, once again sending this scarred planet into war. Mand and Val are two such Metalmancers who have been living on their own for the past several years. With new forces in play and old enemies on their trail, will they be able to lean on each other to survive this new emerging world? ** It's really hard to fly a dragon made of metal. They could of made a bull, a horse, or really any simple device that could haul a wedge-shaped plow, but someone insisted that they try and build a bloody dragon. That someone now had her hands wrapped around Mand's waist and was having the time of her life. "See, I told you this was a great idea," Val exclaimed. "We'll have that field done in no time!" "You're not the one trying to steer this thing," Mand returned. "Now be a good sister and lower the tail so we can get to work." Mand felt Val shift her weight and suddenly become very still as she began to concentrate. Inside the shell of the dragon, a complex system of gears began to whirr and rotate. The dragon's tail began to curve beneath the belly of the construct, until the wedge-shaped tip curved towards the ground. Mand had her work cut out for her as well. She focused her mind on pumping the dragon's wings to keep aloft. The descended tail made the whole operation twice as taxing as it was before. The tail clicked in place and Mand began their pass towards the field below. "Are you sure this will work?" she questioned her sister. "It's my butt too," Val pouted. "You should have more faith in my plan!" Mand brought the dragon closer and closer to the earth. She began to sweat as the ground inched closer. Finally, at the edge of the field, the tip of the tail sunk into the soft earth, plowing a furrow as the dragon swooped along. When the dragon reached the far end of the field, Mand pumped the wings to get them back in the air. It was only when she brought the dragon around for another pass that she realized how hard she was breathing. "See, I told you this would work!" Val shouted happily, kicking her legs out as they approached the field once again. Mand felt darkness overtake her.

Mining
Mining referred to the act of digging or taking action, especially the digging of minerals or the extraction of underground resources. For example, oil mining, coal mining, and so on. The mining process involved digging ditches and culverts. Green mining was a theoretical basis. It focused on the rules of joints, fissures, and separation formed by the movement of key layers in the rock formation after mining, as well as the laws of gas and underground water infiltration in the broken rock formation. The main contents of the green mining technology included water-preserving mining, mining under buildings and layer separation by injection to reduce settlement, strip and filling mining, coal and gas co-mining, coal tunnel support and underground disposal of some waste rock, underground coal vaporizing, etc. In short, mining referred to the process of digging or taking action to obtain minerals or underground resources.

mining methods
The mining methods included underground mining and open-pit mining. Underground mining was the process of extracting ore from the ore blocks in the underground deposit. It was achieved through the mining, cutting, and extraction of the ore blocks. Underground mining methods included natural support mining method, artificial support mining method, and collapse mining method. Open pit mining was a mining method that gradually stripped the rocks and extracted useful minerals from the hillside or depression under open conditions. Compared to underground mining, open-pit mining had the advantages of faster construction speed, higher labor productivity, lower cost, better working conditions, safety, and higher ore recovery rate.

Mining for All
The concept of universal mining was an era where everyone could participate in mining activities. Mining for All seemed to be the title of a novel. It described the scene of the arrival of an underground world. People could obtain gold, diamonds, and other treasures through mining. In addition, there was an article that mentioned the possibility of a universal mining era, but did not provide specific information. According to the search results, we have no way of knowing if universal mining has become a reality, or if there are any real events or platforms related to it. Therefore, I'm not sure about the actual situation of mining for everyone.

mining of ore
The specific process of mining ore included exploration, mining, and protecting the integrity and quality of the jade. In the exploration phase, geological exploration was needed to find places that might be rich in jade ore. In the mining stage, the jade ore could be extracted from the ore body by means of blasting, excavation, and ore sorting. During the entire mining process, environmental protection, production safety, and social responsibility needed to be paid attention to. The environmental protection included the rational planning of Kuangqu, the treatment and recycling of waste water and waste residue, and the reduction of damage to the ecological environment. In terms of safety production, they needed to strictly follow the safety production regulations and adopt the necessary safety facilities and measures to ensure the personal safety of workers. In terms of social responsibility, it was necessary to actively communicate and cooperate with the local government and residents, abide by local laws and regulations, respect local culture and customs, and fully consider the interests of local residents to ensure that mining had a positive contribution to local social and economic development. The specific mining process also included ore testing, ore analysis, handling certificates, determining the mineral processing method, checking the site situation, providing the mineral processing process flow chart, allocating mineral processing equipment, site foundation treatment, equipment installation and adjustment, normal production after trial operation, and finished product sales.

coal mining method
There were many ways to mine coal. The following conclusions were made: The methods of coal mining could be divided into underground mining and open-pit mining. Underground mining was divided into two categories: wall mining and pillar mining. The wall mining method was featured by a long coal wall, and the roadways at both ends of the working face were used for air intake, air return, coal transportation, and material transportation. The pillar mining method was featured by a short coal wall in the shape of a square pillar, and a large number of working faces were mined at the same time. The specific coal mining methods included strike longwall mining method, inclined longwall mining method, inclined slicing mining method, and longwall top coal mining method. The strike longwall mining method was a mining method that advanced along the strike, the inclined longwall mining method was a mining method that advanced along the inclined, the inclined slicing mining method was a mining method that divided the thick coal seam into slices along the inclined plane, and the longwall top coal mining method was a mining method that first mined the coal at the bottom of the longwall working face of the gently inclined thick coal seam, and then used the top coal mining method. In addition, open-pit coal mining was also a common method of coal mining. The open-pit coal mining has the characteristics of large mining capacity, fast construction speed, high labor efficiency, low production cost, excellent labor environment, guaranteed safety, and high resource recovery rate. Open pit mining had become the main method of coal mining in the world's major coal mining countries. In summary, coal mining methods included underground mining and open pit mining. Underground mining was divided into two categories: wall mining and pillar mining. The specific methods included strike longwall mining, inclined longwall mining, inclined slicing mining, and longwall top coal mining. Opencast coal mining was also a common method.

Mining Development Flow
The general process of mineral development included the following stages: mineral resources investigation, feasibility study, mining rights acquisition, mining rights exploration and development, production process, etc. Before the development of a mineral resource, a survey of mineral resources was required to determine the location, type, quality, and other basic information of the mineral resource, as well as to assess its economic value. After that, a feasibility study would be conducted to determine the technical and economic feasibility of the mine. Following that, they would apply for or transfer the mining rights according to the relevant state regulations. After obtaining legal mining rights, they could carry out the exploration and development of mining rights, including the general survey, detailed investigation, exploration and other work in the exploration stage. Finally, the production process was carried out. The ores and minerals were mined, and through the process of selection, smelting, and processing, the useful minerals were refined or purified into a certain form of product. In general, mineral development was a complex task that required multiple stages of planning and implementation. At the same time, it had to take into account the sustainable and environmental friendliness of the mine resources.
