Chapter 440: Let's go and mine together
Their leave of absence was very lightly granted, because almost none of the disciples who came here did not go to Tieshan Island to try their luck.
What's more, Iron Mountain Island is an absolutely safe area, and no one will worry about this - the biggest danger is from the collapse of the mine, but for the disciples who are at least in the True Dan Realm here, even if they really encounter the collapse of the mine, it is nothing.
"Are you sure it's okay to go empty-handed? It's kind of reliable to get a pickaxe or something. Qin Ruo looked at He Xilin.
He Xilin rolled his eyes: "Okay, okay, I was going to sell it." The entrance to the vein of Iron Mountain Island is where all kinds of mining tools are sold. Just go over there and buy it. β
"Buy? How to buy? Except for the clothes we have nowβwell, the clothes are all borrowed from the brothers and sistersβbut the bodies are slippery, can it be that people are willing to pay on credit? Lin Yan asked rhetorically.
He Xilin said speechlessly: "I'm the son of the palace master of Bixiao Palace, okay?" β
Seeing everyone's unkind eyes, he hurriedly said: "Okay, our various sects are stationed here, and they have contribution points." However, this point belongs to each sect and does not belong to an individual. But what ...... we?"
He coughed dryly twice, and deliberately raised his neck: "No, it's the son of the palace master of Bixiao Palace, my father gave me one percent of the points permission." β
Qin Ruo rolled his eyes: "The whole world knows that you are the son of the palace master of Bixiao Palace, do you need to emphasize it so much?" β
Long Wudao looked at He Xilin and said seriously: "He always emphasizes it like this, I have a feeling: This product is a fake if it can't be done." β
He Xilin was speechless: "You just want me to order it, and I don't bother to talk to others." β
A few people talked and laughed, came to the dock, took a dhow that He Xilin had already found, only more than ten meters long, sailed out of the dock, turned around and headed for Tieshan Island in the west.
The boat is not big, but it is very fast, and with the help of the wind on the sea, it is very feeling.
He Xilin stood at the bow of the boat and suddenly smiled: "I suddenly felt the taste of the light boat and fast horse that the ancients said." β
He was responded by a bunch of white eyes......
The base was not far from Tieshan Island, that is, a distance of about two hundred kilometers, and the speed of this dhow reached at least fifteen knots, and it took less than ten hours to arrive.
Standing on the bow of the ship and looking at Tieshan Island, it is indeed an island as its name suggests, as far as the eye can see, it is an island like a black iron ore as if it is a big steamed bun on the sea.
Directly in the direction of the island facing the docks, it was obvious that there were some houses, and smelting furnaces and so on, and not too far from these things, you could see a huge mining entrance, and many people were coming out of it, and some people were walking in.
After the boat sent them to arrive, they set sail and rested, and did not return until the next day, after all, the night was not so safe.
Qin Ruo and the four of them took advantage of the fact that it was not yet dark and first came to a row of houses not far from the dock. He Xilin fell behind, and picked up a backpack like a blanket from the boat, but found that the three of them had left early, and he was immediately depressed, and ran quickly for a while to catch up.
Ore is produced here, and naturally, a small market has arisen here.
There are more than a dozen shops, most of them sell all kinds of tools, a few sell some food and drinks, and only one sells armor and weapons. However, the business here is obviously average: the best materials must be brought back to their own sect, and they will not be made and sold here.
What is sold here is some general Xuanpin-level things, and the only advantage is that the price is cheap.
"Don't think that their business is average, after all, the weapons and armor that are really consumed by each sect are still the most Xuanpin. They are just putting up a faΓ§ade here, the real shipping channel is in the base, and after contacting the various sects, they will be sent to the various sects on the mainland, and the business is still good. He Xilin said as he walked.
Long Wudao was curious: "Just this one?" Don't have any other home to grab business? β
He Xilin rolled his eyes: "You have been in the sect for a few years, and you haven't seen their mark?" Gongye Gate! The real most powerful forging sect in Huaxia. Who would dare to provoke them? Besides, people can make high-grade guys with ordinary materials, and if they change to others, at most they will touch the edge of the mysteries...... Nowadays, the resources in the sect are scarce, so naturally the best materials are handed over to the sect that can be used the most. β
Long Wudao ignored He Xilin's attitude and nodded thoughtfully: "It would be great if all the sects could truly unite as one. β
While speaking, He Xilin had already led everyone to the store in Gongyemen, but he immediately put on a smiling face, and bowed his hand to the surrounding circle, but none of them were left behind: "Masters, ask for a few pieces of mining guys in the mountain." β
A man in the store who looked to be in his fifties with an iron face walked out with a smile: "He Gongzi, you come to mine, that's rare." But you don't know that we don't sell mining here. β
He Xilin smiled: "Old man Gongye, I have to call you uncle and grandfather." β
The old man surnamed Gongye suddenly rolled his eyes: "Do you still know that I am your uncle and grandfather?" Why didn't you hear anyone screaming? β
He Xilin had already hugged the old man's shoulder obscenely: "Uncle...... Uncle and Grandpa...... Uncle ...... Grandpa"
"! There is a back to get it yourself. At the end, the old man sighed again. I've blinded my stuff. β
Qin Ruo and several people are all Wan'er, it seems that this He Xilin is really a living treasure in front of people close to him.
He Xilin ran to the back room in a hurry, and for a while, holding a few pickaxes, a few shovels, and some other miscellaneous things, hanging like a human-shaped shelf.
"Don't just look at it, come and help." He Xilin walked out with a bang.
Qin Ruo hurriedly went to help take down the things, and then classified them and distributed them.
He Xilin ran in again, and quickly pulled out a small car, and saw Qin Ruo and the others with a greasy smell: You can't finish pulling it with the car......
There were also a few bags of unknown materials on the car, stacked in a corner.
He Xilin saw the eyes of Qin Ruo and the others, and scratched his head in embarrassment: "Didn't you forget to ask a car to pull ore just now?" β
The crowd was speechless......
The old man of Gongye hid his face directly: "Go out and don't tell me that I am your uncle and grandfather, I can't afford to lose that person......"
He Xilin didn't blush at all, quickly threw all the tools to the car, and beckoned Long Wudao: "Let's go, go and prepare something to eat, and we'll be able to go." β
"Don't wait for tomorrow?" Lin Yan went out to look at the sky and looked back at He Xilin.
He Xilin laughed: "After entering the ore vein, what day and night are you going to have?" It's all the same. β
Lin Yan was choked, but thinking about it, he simply didn't speak.
Pulling the car, He Xilin came to a store next door that sold food and drinking water, and quickly negotiated with the people inside, and also pulled a car out, filled with water and food, and some small pots or something. Qin Ruo and the three of them really didn't understand these things, so it was up to He Xilin to toss.
Seeing that the two cars were full of things, He Xilin checked the changes, nodded, and clapped his hands: "It's almost, go, go." Hopefully, in the evening of a few years, we will be able to reach the depths of the vein. β
This is a small car with four wheels about one meter high and a rectangular body about two meters long and one and a half meters wide. The things loaded are not small, Qin Ruo estimates that just food and water are enough for them to stay in it for half a year.
"Xilin, so much food and water, are you planning to go in for half a year? We've only had three months. Qin Ruo didn't forget what he still had to be on duty.
He Xilin smiled: "Don't worry, it's arranged." We were on duty last time, and in the next round after three months, we were the last on duty. Isn't it exactly six months in between? β
Qin Ruo thought about it, this is also appropriate.
The four men dragged two carts along the road ahead and headed for the vein. The entrance to the vein is halfway up this steamed bun-like island. Looking at something from a distance, when they really walked to the entrance of the ore vein, Qin Ruo and the three of them were taken aback: the entrance of this ore vein was at least ten dense and more than three meters wide.
If it is a large-scale machinery industry in the world, such an entrance is definitely not small.
Such an entrance also means that this will be a huge vein, otherwise, why open such a large entrance?
It's almost as they imagined, after entering, the width and height of the inside have not decreased, and there is even a gradual expansion!
By the time they descended three or four hundred meters in a spiral along the excavated road, the cave began to slope at a small angle to the west. At this time, the mine is getting bigger and bigger.
"How many treasures can be made in such a big mine!" Long Wudao couldn't help but be surprised.
He Xilin didn't make a fuss this time, and said very seriously: "It looks big, but in fact, there are not so many productions." The vast majority are useless rocks, and ores can only be found in crevices occasionally. In fact, don't look at such a large place, digging 10,000 tons of earthwork may not necessarily find a few kilograms of useful ore. β
Qin Ruo and the others were stunned, but they were relieved when they thought about it: if such a large earthwork was a good mine, then the best weapons in the hidden gate were not flying all over the sky?
Along the slope, there are even huge mine roads that sometimes whirl, Qin Ruo and the others have been walking forward for several hours, and it is estimated that they have walked at least ten kilometers forward before stopping.
At this time, the mine they were in had begun to fork: in fact, it had appeared before, but He Xilin told everyone that those were all dug off, and the real ore vein was only this one trunk, and the rest of the branches were difficult to find suitable mines, and the workload was greater, and it was easy to dig up the mine road, so it was closed.
"The first three ore veins are actually one, but after the people from Gongyemen came here to see it, they left these few places where there is no ore as the support of the mine." He Xilin explained.
Compared with He Xilin, Qin Ruo's understanding of the Hidden Gate is indeed too little.
"Which one do we choose?" Qin Ruo looked at the three mines in front of him and looked back at He Xilin.
