"Suitable for a base?" Mo Mo suddenly woke up.

Yes, surrounded by mountains, all of them are seven or eight thousand meters high, and they are cliffs, and there is a river below, if there is really only one entrance, it is really suitable as a hidden base.

If they hadn't ridden a steep slope to chase the colorful fox, they wouldn't have found the entrance to the cave, and ordinary people really wouldn't have found it.

Nearly 100 kilometers away from Qingyuan Village, it began to go deep into the twilight forest, and there was no longer human habitation.

"Uncle Wu, I want to get a hidden development base here, and explore whether there are other exits first?" Mo Mo came down from the boulder and said to Shi Wu.

He wasn't going to catch the fox, because if it weren't for it, they wouldn't have been able to find it.

Really, there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them!

"Base?......

Well, it's a good place, it's hidden enough. Shi Wu quickly understood Mo Mo's intentions, he had a lot of valuable items that were not suitable for exposure, and if they were searched by bandits or officers and soldiers, it was estimated that he would also be blushing, and Mo Mo would be guilty.

Similarly, if the villagers of Qingyuan Village can find a safe place to live and develop, there are no bandits, no officers and soldiers to oppress, and they are not afraid of being spoiled by wild beasts when they grow crops, it is much better than in Qingyuan Village.

"Exploring the way ahead. Shi Wu shouted to the team.

After a while, there is no danger in the forward return.

So, everyone went down a slope at the entrance of the cave, the slope was not large, and the road surface was wide, so that they could ride directly on horseback or through animal carts.

After a few minutes, the group came to the foot of the mountain, and there were not many wild beasts found on the way, and many herbs were also found.

The people rode east along the bank of the river formed by the waterfall, standing on a wide plain, without the interference of the waterfall mist, and the view was wider, and at the end of the view was the towering peak.

"Intermediate herbs Root Grass, Demon Star Grass, high-grade herbs Wild Steel Flower, Heather Grass. It seems that there are a lot of good things in it, and there are many benefits to opening up wasteland. Along the way, Mo Mo saw a lot of valuable herbs, and he also picked some of them, but they looked too much, so he simply didn't pick them yet.

He can recognize these herbs, they are all from the botanical book of Luoyun Country, let the system record them, and there is a system reminder, or he will miss them when he passes by.

After resting for a while, they continued their ride until they came to a small hill, bare, full of gray-brown and dark red stones.

Mo Mo turned over and dismounted, picked up a dark red stone and checked it, feeling much heavier than ordinary rocks, full of doubts.

"System, detect the composition of this stone and its surroundings!" Mo Mo secretly ordered, he was a mechanical engineer in his previous life and knew something about materials.

"The main component is hematite Fe2O3, and a small part is magnetite and limonite, and the iron ore grade is 68, that is, the mass fraction of iron element is 68%, which is determined to be rich in iron.

The depth of the mine is unknown, covering an area of about 100 square kilometers, and the open pit can be mined, with an estimated open pit reserve of 500 million tons of iron ore and more than 100 million tons of reserves, which is a rare large-scale iron-rich mine. ”

Really!

Mo Mo was ecstatic, he guessed correctly!

Iron-rich ore, iron content is at least 50%, even on the earth, there are not many iron-rich ores. On the contrary, it is poor iron ore, and the iron content of poor iron ore is 20-40%.

The grade is 68, which is really a very high-grade iron-rich ore.

The main component of hematite is Fe2O3, with a specific gravity of about 526 and 70% Fe iron, while limonite contains about 62% Fe and 724% Fe in magnetite.

It can be known that the iron ore with a grade of 68 has very few other components (rock, soil) in the iron ore, and most of it is hematite.

On the earth, the world's second largest iron ore area - Minas Gis iron ore, an area of 7,000 square kilometers, rich in iron ore divided into two iron ores with an average iron content of 60% and 685% respectively, reaching 30 billion tons.

Although the reserves are incomparable, but the iron-rich ore area discovered by Mo Mo is of extremely high grade and extremely high reserves, and it is really lucky.

However, Mo Mo thought about it and understood, no one knew about the edge of the twilight forest, and no one dared to explore deeply, and I believe that there were still many iron-rich mines, even gold mines and diamond mines.

Mo Mo watched the people of the Flying Tigers patrolling and exploring everywhere, not knowing the treasures under their feet, he came to Shi Wu's side and said excitedly: "Uncle Wu, we are developed! This place is rich in iron ore. ”

Mo Mo didn't seem to understand him, didn't understand the meaning, picked up a stone and showed it to him and explained.

Shi Wu took it and checked it, feeling much heavier than ordinary stones, looking at Mo Mo very excited, and said incomprehensibly: "It's very heavy, it should be iron ore!"

"Uncle Wu, if we can smelt steel, even if it is only a thousand tons a year, it is worth tens of thousands of gold coins. And this piece of iron ore, we can't finish mining it in a hundred years, do you understand when I say this?"

"So much?"

Shi Wu was ecstatic, jumped off the horse and picked up a few stones casually, and compared them, it was really like what Mo Mo said, it was all iron ore, but then he said a little depressedly, "Xiaomo, but we can't smelt ore!"

Mo Mo smiled bitterly and slapped his head, Uncle Wu was right, the iron-rich mines in the other world are estimated to be occupied by the official, and the method of smelting block iron is rarely known by the people, even if the process method is known, it is limited to production capacity, and the final output is extremely low.

"It's okay, I have a way. Mo Mo grinned and said happily, after riding the horse, "However, it is still far from smelting ore, so let's explore this place first, it will not be good if someone finds this place." ”

Shi Wu patted the ash on his hands, jumped on his horse, blew the whistle to summon the team, and let the vanguard quickly probe the situation ahead.

Mo Mo and Shi Wu, as well as a few members of the Flying Tigers, were still riding along the river in the southeast, and about half an hour later, there was a panic report from the front.

"Uncle Wu, call someone, get on the horse, and run!" Ah Gang rode back, his eyes full of fear, as if he was frightened by something.

"All attention, dangerous targets spotted. Shi Wu took the binoculars and looked ahead, and found that a few hundred meters away, a beast was wandering, its appearance was larger than the elite bloodhoof boar, its fangs were sharp and thick, it was obviously a bloodhoof boar, but the difference was that all the hair on its body was already fiery red.

Such a beast suddenly startled Shi Wu, his face turned pale, his mouth trembled, and he said: "Bloodhoof Boar King!"

"Uncle Wu, is this the Wild Boar King?" Mo Mo also picked up the binoculars to observe, and his expression suddenly became nervous.

Mo Mo looked at Shi Wu stunned and didn't reply to him, his eyebrows were tightly locked, it seemed that most of them were the wild boar king, and scolded secretly: "Well, with that wild boar king, it is difficult to mine iron ore." No wonder there are no wild beasts around, it turns out that this is his territory. ”

"Xiaomo, get out of here!"

Shi Wu came back to his senses, turned to Mo Mo and said urgently, and at the same time he tightened the reins, and the other team members also realized the danger, and rode quickly to distance themselves from the target.

Everyone rode their horses for two miles, and only then did their hearts fall and let out a few breaths, but they still didn't dare to relax and continued to walk back.

"Bloodhoof Boar King!" Mo Mo exclaimed, it was the first time he had met, and Shi Wu should have met them for the first time.

Bloodhoof Beastmaster, reaching level 12, three levels higher than the elite Bloodhoof Boar. Shi Wu and they had a compound bow to grind elite beasts to death.

The Beast King, who is three orders higher than the elite beasts, is not a simple third order, and has already undergone a qualitative change. If you use hundreds of soldiers to attack it head-on, you don't even want to kill it without a dozen people dying.

With more than 2,000 combat strength warriors, no matter how well-equipped, it is estimated that they will not dare to fight it head-on.

"We can't kill this wild boar!

Luckily, this is flat land, and we have horses, otherwise, if we were in the forest, we wouldn't have been able to run away if it was found and collided. Shi Wu said in fear, still looking back with palpitations.

The trap is estimated to be of little use to the Bloodhoof Boar King, unless it falls into a ten-meter-deep trap, it is difficult to say whether it can be killed if it falls in, and the beast is not so stupid.

"Let's go back first!" Mo Mo could only sigh, this pig occupies the pit and doesn't.

If they can't kill the pig, they don't dare to set up camp here.

Along the way, Mo Mo was thinking about how to kill the wild boar, which could not be killed by ordinary methods.

"Uncle Wu, if it were you, wouldn't you be able to rest for a few days and nights?" Mo Mo rode side by side with Shi Wu, biting the grass roots, really wondering, suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he turned his head to Shi Wu and asked.

"Three days and three nights. ”

"What if you can't eat and still have to run?"

"Half a day at most. ”

"Uncle Wu, you said that wild boar can't sleep for a few days and nights, and can't eat, what will happen?"

"Hey, yes!" Shi Wu came to his senses and slapped his horse in surprise, because the palm of his hand was too strong, it could slap the horse painfully and make the horse neigh.

He formed an inertial thinking, when he encountered this dangerous beast, he was to dodge, there were cliffs all around, and the beast king couldn't run away, plus they had horses, and they galloped on the gentle plains, and they could outrun the wild boar king.

If you run on a horse in the dense forest, you can't run fast, and the bushes are not an obstacle to wild boars at all, but an obstacle to humans.

After a while, after Shi Wu figured it out, his smile became extremely bright, and he said with a smile: "Xiaomo, you mean to harass it first, not to let it rest, and when it is exhausted, let's get close and shoot it." ”

Mo Mo smiled slyly and said, "Well, if we get too far away from it, the compound bow is probably not harmful to it, unless we shoot it in the eye, I think it will be difficult to shoot, and no matter how stupid the pig is, it will dodge the danger." If we get too close to it, we are in danger. Just harass it first, wait until it has no strength to run, and then play with it slowly. ”

Yan Nan, who heard the conversation between the two, rode on the other side of Mo Mo, and couldn't help but say: "Haha, Xiaomo, your crooked idea is good, it is estimated that the pig will not be able to rest for a few days and nights, and it will go crazy." ”

Shi Wu bowed slightly, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, let's divide into several groups and take turns to attack, but we have to prepare a large number of arrows." ”

Mo Mo let out an "um" and nodded in understanding.

Even if you shoot the bloodhoof boar king once every thirty seconds and harass it without stopping, it will take 120 arrows in an hour, thousands of arrows in a day, and twenty or thirty thousand arrows in a few days, which is too much work.

At present, there are more than 20,000 arrows in Qingyuan Village, but they are still not insured. If the carpenters were to produce at full capacity, they would be able to process more than 2,000 arrows a day.

When they came to the entrance of the cave, they dismounted and observed the terrain of the valley.

"Uncle Wu, you have to ask people to produce arrows with all their might, this matter can't wait. Also search the valley to see if there are any other dangerous beasts. Mo Mo said solemnly.

"Well, I think so. Shi Wu stood at the entrance of the cave, looked back at the area where the Beast King appeared, looked solemn, waved his hand and said, "Let's go, go back and prepare first, it can't run away!"

Everyone came out for two days, and it was almost afternoon at this time, so they covered up the entrance of the cave, and then rushed back to Qingyuan Village.
