Chapter 186: The War Begins

Does the Magic Tide have any effect on the formation of minerals in this world? Now everything is speculation, there is no oil and coal mine in this world, what is going on. These questions need to be answered. And now it's time to put the conditions into use. Millions of tonnes of high-quality co-nickelite are a godsend to industrial development.

A large number of blast furnace buildings wrapped in steel shells appeared in the Emerald Valley, and a large part of the original forest sea had been ruined, and large piles of wood were neatly piled up in the brick houses, waiting for dry distillation. Due to the natural high oxygen content in the world, the temperature of the steelmaking furnace quickly meets the needs of industrial steelmaking.

Everything began to develop in an orderly manner. Synthetic ammonia can be used if nitrate is not stacked, and the nitrogen content in this world is not high, but it is also more than 10 percent. Once qualified steel is available, the air separator can be manufactured. The only shortcoming is the population, and today's industrial staff is not yet skilled and far from sufficient. This is still Ren Di's direct summoning of food from evolution. There is no case of an agricultural population. Industry is the most depopulated. Ren Di did not open the colonial era, or even the steam era, Ren Di only reluctantly took it, as long as there were enough people, Ren Di directly built equipment in the power era. It's all possible.

This plane, to be precise, the iron ore in the Emerald Basin gave Ren Di a lot of confidence, and the accumulation of this iron ore was like a gold sand mine. Ren Di guessed that due to the existence of unknown magical elements in this world, it is likely that some chemical changes will occur in the natural world at room temperature. The natural cellular activity of life, this material circulation system, is formed by chemical changes, relative to the strong chemical changes in life. The intensity of this chemical change in nature cannot shake the chemical energy-driven conversion of substances that interferes with the cells of life. But the victory is in the scope and the long term.

The iron oxide in the rock, even if it is reduced to elemental iron in a very short time, and then quickly oxidized to iron oxide, then in this process, the iron oxide has been precipitated from the rock, just like a frozen fruit, the water crystals in the fruit puncture the cell structure, and then thaw a large amount of juice and flow out. This process of reduction, and then oxidation, is enough to cause cracks in the rock. Iron oxide can flow to low-lying areas with the action of running water. However, Ren Di drilled several times to take samples at the iron ore mine and found that this sedimentation has a periodic phenomenon. It is likely that the chemical energy emitted by the decay and oxidation of the dead life remains acts as a reducing agent. There are many trees in this world.

This is a hypothesis, because Ren Di does not have geological data in this world for a long time. So far, however, there is no evidence to disprove this hypothesis. If this hypothesis is true, it will be of great significance for the future search and excavation of the world's minerals.

Of course, the key task now is to organize the first wave of the population. The good thing now is that this wave of people now has no complaints about the arrangement, has enough food to eat, is paid, works ten hours a day, and will not strike. There will be no rebellion because there is no extra entertainment. I won't go to the streets to strike you because you don't have the right to vote.

Meticulous implementation of industrial production targets. In any case, no matter how bad an industrial society is, it is more secure than a feudal society. However, the bad thing is that they don't know anything, they are a pure blank sheet of paper, and they need three months of training to be competent for grassroots work. In the past three months, Ren Di and Yunchen have almost dragged along with all the conscripts brought over from the evolution. However, these three months were the time of digestion in the first major expansion of the Dawn Commune of Rendi and Yunchenghe. Workers are being trained, industrial skills are being developed, thousands of soldiers are being formed, and discipline is still being cultivated.

And three months is enough time for a lot of things to happen. For example, forty kilometers away in the Emerald Basin, a fly buzzing in the air calling for friends formed a swarm of stinking rotten objects on the ground. Before they could land on the armor stained with black-brown liquid on the rotting corpses. A flame burned the stinking bugs.

The flames splattered onto the ground, and a large number of sparks flickered before disappearing. However, around the corpses, these soldiers were erected. A dozen or so nobles in ornate armor in the center of the soldiers looked at the rows of corpses, some of them calm, some of them had frosty faces, and some of them were angry. Some are thoughtful.

Yunchen and had just arrived near this mountainous area, and the consequences of the slaughter of the "hunting" nobles had finally come, and after discovering that their children had not returned for more than ten days, these families had sent spies, and a lot of evidence appeared. Many noble sons disappeared in the Five Colors Valley area. And the disappearing zone is also easy to investigate. Because a large number of people have disappeared, there is no one in the house. It shows that the aristocratic army came.

However, the traces of the battle and the newly turned soil with broken grass roots and a large amount of withered yellow grass were found on the ground. After a day of excavation, the corpses were lined up one by one. Displayed in front of the seeker. A great tremor erupted in the aristocratic circles of the Blue River Province.

This mass death of the sons of the nobility can only occur in wars that take place under the call of the Empire, but the Empire is now extremely strong, and the Eastern Coalition forces that are crushing on the Eastern Front are losing one after another.

"Ladies and gentlemen, young masters, they were tortured and killed." The coroner of the army said cautiously to this group of noble lords. Because the middle-aged man with extraordinary bearing said coldly: "How to judge? The coroner said: "Each body had more than one sharp scratch on its bones. These scratches are not in the vital area, and almost every corpse has this phenomenon, which indicates that the enemy is. ”

"What is it?" The man with the golden striped grass badge on his breastplate asked plainly. The coroner said: "It shows that it is very likely that the young masters were tied up without resistance and stabbed to death one by one." ”

At this moment, a knight in the distance galloped over on horseback. Count Fan Rusi of the Golden Silk Grass family waved his hand and motioned for the coroner to go down. The knight dismounted from his horse and fell on one knee before the Count. said: "Master, young master, he has found it." was directly choked off his neck and died, and he seemed to have been stabbed in the head before he died. ”

Count Fan Rusi's face suddenly burst into a seeping smile. The surrounding nobles couldn't help but feel sad, the eldest son of the old earl's favorite seemed to have been killed by unknown forces. Among the nobles present were two counts and another, the family crest was a blue fish, this was the earl of the Fishfish family, Roncori, his face was not overly sad, and it was his nephew who died in his family. And he has seven sons, and one nephew doesn't matter.

Ronkori said, "Everyone, it's too early to grieve, this matter is a declaration of war on all the families of our Blue River Province. Whatever their purpose, who instructed them, or what their intentions were, all of these things need to be answered by putting our long sword against their throats. ”

The whereabouts of more than 10,000 people are very difficult to hide, and there are many broken grass and trees and trampled footprints along the way. This is impossible to hide their whereabouts at all, but the nobles of the Blue River have gathered together, in fact, they have already found it, Yunchen and Ren Di's base is actually easy to find, and the huge chimney is emitting black smoke to make steel, which is a very obvious target at all. It's just that I don't dare to approach.

This time, the Blue River nobles brought two regular troops from the local garrison empire, wearing armor like lobster shells. A short sword 60 cm long is standard. A curved shield like a door panel. Of course, there are also those with heavy javelins. This is very similar to the fighting style of the Roman legions, with the heavy infantry advancing in a tortoiseshell formation. Then stick it up and face the enemy, and the slightly longer weapon cannot be freely wielded and slashed in the crowded environment of the front line. However, a short sword like a military thorn can be pulled out of the gap in the shield wall and quickly slash the other side.

This type of infantry is the best weapon against the traditional slashing infantry with a broadsword. Because the broadsword can only be slashed on the shield, but after the cut, the empty door is opened, and a short sword is stabbed straight up, and it is goodbye. However, it is also a good weapon for restraining the bow and crossbow. However, this infantry was tragic in the face of heavy cavalry. Behind the shield wall of men is human flesh. Hit the horse, vigorously perform a miracle, the horse's hooves are raised, and the re-stepping on the shield wall is directly stepped on.

The Blue River was the rear province of the Empire and had no heavy cavalry. However, this kind of garrison was better at suppressing the disorganized, poorly equipped peasant army and slave army. Of course, there are no more powerful mage groups. Each time it can easily and effectively suppress a rabble ten times or twenty times more. According to the spy reports, the target army did not have cavalry. Judging by the scars of the noble hunting group, this unit was composed of pikemen and crossbowmen.

Count Fan Rusi turned his head to a fifty-year-old mage wearing a mage robe beside him and said, "Master Jett, are you sure that there are no traces of magic on this battlefield?" "This Jett mage touched a staff that could be used as a Zen staff, carved with complex circuits like integrated circuits. He said: "There are no traces of elemental eruptions present, and if there are traces, it is the same as the environment after the fire has been scorched, and it cannot be hidden at all. ”

Count Fan Rusi said, "Then I will leave it to you this time." Master Jett touched his beard and said, "This area is the area of the Imperial Elemental Association's supervision, and there are unknown hidden dangers here, so it is naturally my duty to investigate here." The mage then said, "Go ahead and caress your staff." ”

Fan Rusi looked at Roncott next to him. Long Ko nodded and stepped forward with a smile and said, "Master Mage, our many families have prepared a little gift. A soldier walked over with a box and handed it to Loncott. Longcott opened the box and said, "This is a little bit of heart prepared by the twenty-four families of our Blue River. "When the box was opened, there was a row of gems of different shapes, with faint fluorescent green colors.

Mage Jett's eyes lit up. There was a flicker on the staff, and a large amount of light mist-like things converged and then dispersed, but the light mist quickly dispersed and some of it seemed to stick to the gem for a long time. Master Jett smiled and said, "Well, I happened to investigate the ecology of the forest recently, so I and my twenty-four students should go with you." ”

The war in the middle of the Thorn Gem Empire began.
