By calculating, it's clear that during this period, both their bodies and the iron ore, for all seven of them, have almost been pushed to the limit.
Luckily, their luck in mining was quite good; otherwise, they surely wouldn't have kept up.
These eight days, their two groups, his group mined for four days, Yuan Cheng's group mined for three days, and there was one day when all seven of them went down to mine together.
With the system in place, he had a clear understanding of the total mining output.
His group mined a total of 7,920 pounds after four days.
Yuan Cheng's group mined a bit less, with an output of 3,850 pounds.
On the day the seven of them mined together, they extracted 2,300 pounds.
That means in eight days, the total mining output was 14,070 pounds, plus the remaining 3,300 pounds from before, adding up to 17,370 pounds.
