"The Gozdali Plain, where the Ice Bear is located, lacks the large-scale steel and coal resources necessary for industrialization, and there are no coal mines and iron mines of this scale in the entire Ice Wasteland except for the two large-scale coal and iron mines near the city of Eskil!"

Elder Gulas, who had been in charge of civil affairs in the Ice and Snow Wasteland, muttered slightly for a moment before opening his mouth.

"In a place as big as the entire Ice and Snow Wasteland, there are no large-scale coal mines and iron mines in other areas?" In this regard, Zhang Tie felt a little incredible, on the map, the ice and snow wasteland covers an area of almost more than 20 million square kilometers, originally he thought that the climate here was relatively harsh, but he did not expect that the natural resources here are also so scarce.

"It's not that there is none, but there are no conditions for mining, the climate and living conditions of the ice and snow wasteland are very bad, and many places cannot be exploited on a large scale even if they have resources, taking the Huolong Coal Mine outside Eskir City as an example, to open such a coal mine, it takes almost seventy or eighty thousand coal miners, and these seventy or eighty thousand people are still convenient to feed near Eskil City, if these seventy or eighty thousand people are left in the wasteland further north of Eskil City, to solve the problem of feeding these seventy or eighty thousand people, it is possible to drag down a bear-level tribe, This is equivalent to a tribe having to support an army of 70,000 or 80,000 people wandering all year round, and its daily expenses will be very terrifying! It will be far more than the value created by these workers. ”

Elder Nikolai continued.

"Large-scale industrial development must rely on a sufficient population base as the premise. A sufficient population base requires enough food and suitable living conditions to solve the problem, and the workers need to eat, drink and lazar. Need to start a family and live, it is impossible to throw them to a place where there is ore to dig out the ore with endless resources, and the ice and snow wasteland is most lacking, is that there is food and suitable living conditions, each tribe in the choice of their own survival territory, to solve the tribe's food and food problems is to want, not to choose in a place with ore. Only when everyone can fill their stomachs will the tribes have the strength to try to find some minerals and do what they can. But the scale is not too large, as long as it is basically enough. ”

"Whether it is the experience of human society before the cataclysm or the objective summary of the people of this era, a population of more than 4ooo is the basic prerequisite for a country and region to complete industrialization. And the most populous bear-level tribe in the Ice and Snow Wasteland is our Ice Giant Bear Tribe. The total population of our tribe is only less than 2ooo, which is really difficult to complete industrialization in this place of ice and snow wasteland. ”

Zhang Tie rubbed his eyebrows, allowing himself to face the reality, "So, under the current conditions, the only coal and steel resources we can rely on now are these two mineral deposits in Eskil City?" ”

"That's true, until the basic living conditions of the Ice and Snow Wasteland cannot be improved. Before the ice and snow wastelands can produce large quantities of food to meet people's most basic survival needs, jihad must be dealt with. We can only make the most of the resources in front of us! Elder Rudolph replied.

Zhang Tie thought for a moment, "But with the current output of the Eskier Iron and Steel Plant, the annual production capacity of less than 300,000 tons is too low, how much can the maximum production capacity of the Eskil Iron and Steel Plant be increased?" ”

"The production capacity of the Eskil Iron and Steel Plant can be increased to more than two million tons at most, in the past, because the entire Ice and Snow Wasteland did not have such a large market and demand, each bear-level tribe can solve most of their steel needs by themselves, and we have not expanded, and the expansion requires a lot of money, if we want to expand the production capacity of the Eskil Iron and Steel Plant, then the mining scale of coal and iron ore outside the city must also be expanded! In addition to money, we need enough workers and technicians to ensure the smooth operation of the steel plant! ”

"Money is not a problem, let people make the plan first, see how much is needed, and then we will figure it out!" Zhang Tie glanced at several elders, "I have a principle here, and it is also a statement, although I can now harvest seven or eight million gold coins in Eskir City every year, but I will not use any of this money on myself, nor will I use it outside the Ice and Snow Wasteland, and all this money will be invested in the preparation of the two tribes for the holy war in the future, which will be used to consolidate our foundation!" ”

Several elders nodded secretly.

"In that case, we will then start to expand the capacity of the Eskil steel plant, which will probably take about two years to complete! The entire renovation may require more than 10 million gold coins......"

"Even if it's done later, it's better than not at all! This is a priority, and the money I have at my disposal is going to be spent in this place first! To wield the power of steel and steam, it is not enough to increase the production of steel, this is the first step, with steel, the most important question is what we want to turn this steel into, where to put it, in order to maximize our strength, I now want to ask a few elders a key question, if the army of the demons will one day hit the ice and snow wasteland, where do you judge where the demons will come from, is it the sky, or the sea, the ground, or the underground? I've heard a few things about this before, but now I want to confirm that. ”

"On the sea, it can only be at sea!" Elder Thors said with great certainty, and the other elders nodded, "The location of the Ice and Snow Wasteland is very special, the deepest part of the entire Ice and Snow Wasteland is a sea of lava, and it is impossible for the demons to enter through the Guò underground passage, and in the sky, we have the Devil North Wind Belt, and this North Wind Belt also isolates all the airships, the Ice and Snow Wasteland is surrounded by the sea on three sides, only the north is the Ice Seal 6, and the Ice Waste 6 is an infinitely vast uninhabited land, and the area is hundreds of times larger than the entire Blackson Terran Corridor, Many places in the Frozen Big 6 have a very extreme climate, after entering the Frozen Big 6, at night, the temperature in most of its areas is below minus 5o degrees, and there is a very terrible ice storm, even if it is a knight, there is not enough preparation to go deep into the Ice Big 6 and may not be able to come back alive, let alone a large-scale army, so if the army of the demon clan really wants to come, it can only come from the sea, there is no second way! ”

"If the demons are destined to come from the sea in the future, then, we can't watch it come and do nothing, so, we must be prepared for this now, with the expansion of the production capacity of the Eskil Iron and Steel Plant, the production scale of the North Wind Shipyard will also be expanded, and now the North Wind Shipyard is not able to produce steam turbines, we can't pin this hope on the outside forever, on the day the demons call from the sea, who can still sell us things, so my second thought is, no matter what, it's good to spend money, Whether it is to hire someone, or directly buy the factory that produces steam turbines on Gantiadu Island and relocate it to the ice and snow wasteland as a whole, we must get this technology in hand, steam turbines are the most complex steam power equipment, as long as we get this technology, the entire technical strength of Eskil City will go to a big level! ”

"I still have a few friends on the island of Gantiyadu, and in a few days I will go to the island of Gantiyadu in person, and I will come back with the equipment and technicians who produce the steam turbines!" Elder Turing opened his mouth in an indifferent tone, as if he was saying something insignificant.

"Didn't the Spencer family ever think about mastering this kind of production technology for steam turbines before?" Zhang Tie asked.

"We have a very special relationship with the Ewindara Islands, most of the big families and big business groups on the islands are our business and partners, but in the same way, they are also worried about us, afraid that one day we will not be willing to stay in the ice and snow wasteland and want to go out, then they will take the brunt, so, in this key technology for the manufacture of large ships, they have some reservations about us, and among the big forces and big families with strong sea power in Ewendara, there is also a secret agreement, As soon as the armed fleet of the Spencers or the Slavs crossed the Oro Strait one day, they would unite and strangle the fleet. So, in order not to overly irritate the people in Ewendala, although the Spencer family has other sources of steam turbine manufacturing technology and equipment, we have been buying from them all along, and they know that we are doing this as a compromise, so the price of the steam turbines sold to us has always been fair, cheaper than our own production, and everyone is fine. ”

Elder Rudolph answered Zhang Tie's question.

Now that time has passed, the holy war is imminent, the demons and their lackeys are becoming more and more rampant, and the Spencer family is seriously damaged, as long as Ewendala is one of those people with normal heads, no one should suspect that Eskiel City will arm a fleet to fight them at this time. What's more, although the technology of the steam turbine is complex, it is not unattainable, let alone anyone's unique patent, this kind of thing is on the road, and there should be many countries that can produce it, since Elder Turing has opened his mouth, then this matter is almost a certainty.

In the next few minutes, Zhang Tie said his third thought, or decision, and the whole venue fell silent again.

Because Zhang Tie wants to build a railway from the city of Eskir to the Gozdali Plain, this railway, which runs through the entire north and south of the ice and snow wasteland, is more than 9ooo kilometers long, and the two ends of the railway are connected to the ice field giant bear tribe and the iron bear tribe, and the place where the railway passes will also connect many small and medium-sized tribes.

This is Zhang Tie's real plan, and Zhang Tie gave this plan a name - the tribal axis!

As soon as this ambitious plan was proposed, even several elders were shocked.

"To build such a railway, we need at least 5ooo gold coins to invest!" Elder Rudolph swallowed a mouthful of saliva and replied, "It's hard for our two tribes to support such a plan!" ”

Zhang Tie smiled, "It's okay, I don't need a penny from the two tribes to repair this railway!" ”

After listening to Zhang Tie's words, several people looked at him suspiciously, this kind of thing, even if it is a miracle, it is impossible...... (To be continued......)
