Even Hua Fengyu, who did not live in this dynasty, knew what iron ore meant to a country.

In this era of cold weapons, no matter which country is in power, the two major resources of salt and iron will be firmly in their hands. Because this is the lifeblood of the country, whether it is selling salt privately or mining iron ore is a felony. However, Shu Jin has space and a high-tech product - robots, so she can do things that many people can't think of.

"Sister, are you sure of mining?" Despite this, Hua Fengyu still cared about whether she would be at risk, so she didn't ask Shu Jin why she planned to do this.

Always remember to leave a way for yourself and master all the resources you can control, which is already a matter of course for people in the last days.

"Actually, it's a coincidence that my subordinates were able to discover this iron ore. In his early years, his ancestors had seen such an iron mine, so he did not make a public announcement after others decided it, but hid a few pieces of ore and brought them to me.

I determined the possible iron ore content there through machine analysis.

There are thick layers of associated rock, and if you don't dig deep enough, or if you don't have experience, you will miss this iron mine, like the other explorers sent by the emperor, and no one has noticed this. It may also be that they neglected to focus on whether the canal was suitable for digging in this exploration.

In short, everyone now thinks that there are those rock formations, and that it is too difficult to dig a canal from there, so the canal excavation will have to be diverted slightly.

As for the land that has been explored for iron ore, I have already asked the trustee to buy it. It has been arranged, and as soon as I arrive, I can start digging. ”

"But if you go mining iron ore, it won't move too much. Arouse the suspicion of others? ”

"Maybe they will be suspicious, but they will never think that it is an iron mine." Shu Jindao,

"Not far from there, there used to be a government mine that produced iron ore, but now it has been largely hollowed out, and even the mine has been abandoned. Therefore, if you choose this side as the excavation site for the canal, it will save a lot of effort. This proposal has been submitted to the Ministry of Works and presented to the Emperor. It is believed that it will be approved soon.

At that point, I was building a manor on the land I had bought, and the most people thought was that I was just trying to make a deal by taking advantage of my proximity to the canal. "People at this time are not like the Hereafter. Not everyone is aware of the appreciation of the value of land adjacent to major transportation routes

"It looks like my sister has planned everything. So what can I help with? ”

Hua Fengyu asked. Of course, she wouldn't really think that Shu Jin was just talking and chatting when she told her.

"Actually, I want to say, if possible, you can help me get some steelmaking equipment next time."

Although in this era, the smelting technology of Dayan is already very developed, but even compared with a random small steel mill in later generations, it is really rough.

The iron ore found by Shu Jin's men is actually not very huge, but. Iron ore is very pure, as long as it can be mined. Then the weapon Shu Jin made is more than enough to arm an army.

In this era, all weapons are hand-made, which is too time-consuming and labor-intensive, and of course Shu Jin can't look down on it, so Shu Jin paid attention to the end of the world.

Many steel mills in later generations were able to do this: melt the steel at high temperatures, then cast the molten iron into the model, and after it cooled, the sword was formed, and then finally polished so that the sword could be used.

Before the end of the world, making a steel knife was actually that simple. The reason why the quality of the swords of this era is not as good as that of later generations is mainly because the steel refined in the furnaces of this era is not pure enough, and if you can get those steel-making equipment of later generations, this problem will be solved.

"Also, you can collect more scrap cars or something, those things are also scrap metal now, why don't you let me go back to the furnace and rebuild them."

Shu Jin proposed.

Hua Fengyu hadn't reacted at first, but when she figured it out, she suddenly became enthusiastic because she thought of some possibilities.

If this time and space can not only become their food base, but also his main weapon base, then it is really a good and harmless thing for himself and Feng Yi's base!

This way, their base doesn't have to spend too much food and supplies in exchange for weapons. After the weapons are abundant, you can also gain an advantage in the battle against the orcs.

When you think about it, the future is not too bright!!

"Good! Sister Shu, I understand, next time I come, I will definitely find a way to get more of the things you want. Hua Fengyu promised. But he followed up with another sentence:

"However, Sister Shu, I want to ask, if I can get the weapon blueprints, can you also help us process some weapons?"

"Your brain is spinning fast!" Shu Jin glanced at her, "I knew you would definitely say that!" It's different when you're married, no matter what happens, consider this to help him plan! ”

"Oh, how can there be!" Hua Fengyu smiled, "Anyway, what you want to build is just some swords, bows, crossbows, and horses, so we just happen to use them together, right?" ”

Shu Jin nodded when he heard this, that's right. In the last days, people have been fighting against the beasts, and the beasts' sense of hearing and smell is naturally more sensitive than that of humans, and the slightest carelessness in battle will alarm more beasts, and finally they will be besieged, so sometimes it is not as safe to use hot weapons as cold weapons.

However, in the last days, resources are limited, and weapons production has been controlled by large bases, and it is difficult for a newly established base like Cheng Fengyi and others to successfully establish an industrial chain of weapons production in such a short period of time.

So when Shu Jin found this iron ore, he had already planned to supply weapons to Hua Fengyu and them in the future. The population in the last days is already small, as long as the base is successfully established and there is a fixed population, it will be a matter of time before the food problem is solved.

Maybe they will never have such fresh vegetables, fruits, and rice and white flour, but they can always do it without starving. Therefore, in the long run, it is not a long-term solution to supply food, vegetables and fruits in the last days. Shu Jin has actually been trying to expand the industry in his hands, and at the same time thinking about how to maintain the deal with the end times. Although Shu Jin is no longer in the last days, he always feels that he still has a certain responsibility for the end of the world.

What's more, Hua Fengyu and her are also confidants, and it is also a good thing to help him on the premise that she can get benefits.

Of course, part of the reason is that Shu Jin is worried that one day, the end times will be in line with the big performance, and the end times will invade this time and space. This doesn't have to happen, but she needs to be prepared. Maintaining the friendship of the same flower wind, she will not be ignorant of the end times. (To be continued.) )

PS: Both babies have been infusioned, and pneumonia ......

I was speechless......

The first one is more, and the other is that it will be very late, don't wait
