60篇短文搞定托福高频词Chapter 13

The leader of the mining team introduced the new experimental porcelain material to the miners. He explained its protective features, which could slow down the deposition of gaseous oxide in the mine's habitat, ensuring the safety of the miners.

The mineral deposit was extensive and complex, and the miner's dependence on oxygen consumption was high. The existence of valuable minerals in the mine's extension made it necessary to protect the miners from the harmful effects of magnetic mineral presence and the habitat's dark, featureless nature.

The leader estimated the slow pace of foragers in the mine and introduced a magnetic mineral forager to speed up the forage. The experimental device was a success, and the miner's dependence on foragers was reduced.

Indeed, the introduction of the experimental forager was a feature characterizing the leader's leadership, and he became a magnetic leader in the mining industry. His leadership extended beyond the mine, and he became an experimenter in the field of mineral extraction, experimenting with new methods to reduce the dependence on slow foragers and protect the miners.

The leader's position was valuable, and his experimentally proven methods were sought after by other mines. He led the industry in protecting the miners' safety and extending the lives of the mines. The leader's legacy was that he had shown that the mining industry could exist in a protective and safe habitat, dependent neither on slow foragers nor on dangerous mineral deposits.
