Chapter 387: The Age of Resources (6)

After entering the camp gate of Xijiang Water Village, Li Yizhuang got out of the car and asked, "Has the Lord come up?" ”

The doorman, an old acquaintance, shook his head slightly. 【Reading Network】Small ^ Say ^ Ad-free ~~ Net

Li Yizhuang: That's a pity.

At this time, Sun Ruihe also came, and shouted: "Li Yizhuang!" ”

"Here." He quickly straightened up.

"What are you inquiring about?"

"That's it...... Ask if the Lord is there. ”

Sun Ruihe widened his eyes and said, "This is what you can ask?" ”

"Yes." After Li Yizhuang answered, he hurriedly shook his head: "No, you can't ask." ”

Sun Ruihe glared at him for a few seconds before he said, "What about the captive?" ”

"255 in the car." Li Yizhuang became a soldier, first, because he had no background, and secondly, because it was a good thing to be scolded. So he also likes to be scolded, the chief doesn't scold the practice, which means that the practice is not good, and he is not taken seriously, this time he is brilliant, and he is scolded again, it is simply smiling.

As soon as Sun Ruihe opened the door of the 225 car, the man inside shouted like crazy: "My lord, my lord, save my brother...... Please......"

He saw Hua on Sun Ruihe's shoulder. Nowadays, everyone in Mara City knows that those who have a hua are officers, and those who don't have a soldier are soldiers.

Li Yizhuang said in a voice behind him: "They hid in the bushes, and they were scared out by our fire reconnaissance, and the heavy machine gun bit three people, and there was only one left." I promised to take him to the hospital. ”

"Then go ahead." Sun Ruihe took out a xiao notebook and wrote a few words, which can be regarded as signing and agreeing.

Field hospitals are not something you can go to if you want to. On weekdays, in addition to letting Sima Luo's two apprentices take turns to do outpatient exercises, Sima Luo himself is constantly undergoing surgery. When there is a major operation, all doctors have to go to the operating table, so not just anyone can go to the doctor. The first class is "Jiangning people", the second class is the soldiers who served in Xijiang Water Village, and the third class is "good people".

Li Yizhuang took the signature and said to Naba: "You have to speak to the chief well, and I will take Tie Jiu away for treatment." ”

The two soldiers took Tie Jiu and left, crying and howling while holding the stretcher, and was pulled by Li Yizhuang and said with a smile: "Don't scream, it's like a woman calling her husband." ”

Naba turned his face with a resentful face, and Li Yizhuang's snot beard was startled, and he couldn't help thinking: This product looks like this, don't really be the concubine of an injured man.

This evil view immediately led him to decide to stay away from the next trial.

Mu Tianhua was the most educated of the soldiers on this trip. His father used to keep accounts for the village and could write 3o words, all of which he taught. So Mu Tianhua stepped forward to persuade Naba. He was asked to cooperate with the questioning and taken to the interrogation room.

In the empty dangdang room, Sun Ruihe sat on a large chair with armrests, and Ling Naba sat opposite.

The interrogation was carried out by him, and She Lei, Da Yang and others watched the real-time video.

For the people of the earth, the resource problem of the Western Continent is really strange, if there are no mineral deposits, the local metal is indeed produced, although the amount is not large. But if you say that there are mineral deposits, you don't know where, who's digging them, and where they're digging.

Put on Earth, it's almost impossible.

Even if it is a xiao coal kiln, it will have to be worked by hundreds of people, eating, drinking, and drinking the things used in Lazar, and the ore produced, all of which are transported back and forth.

But if you look around Mara City, there is no such place.

Now that the ring road is almost complete, the indigenous company and an inspection team are looking for it, and this is the first time they have encountered a Marat, who may be miners...... If it weren't for the production of some metal weapons in Mara City from time to time, Xijiang Water Village would not have existed in the local area.

Dayang originally thought that keeping an eye on the slave camps would help, but it turned out that people didn't need slaves at all for mining, and even the number of ordinary Marats involved in minerals was very few, giving people the impression that it was a secret art rather than a large-scale economic activity.

Sun Ruihe, who has attended several plenary meetings, has the same question. In his opinion, the scarcity and high cost of metal minerals in the western continent, this information must be very valuable, and it must be asked slowly to have an effect.

However, he sat in the chair in the interrogation room, but he was amiable, like an uncle next door: "Is your name Naba? Good name, we have a port called Naha. ”

Naba looked at him stupidly......

"Your name is Naba?" Sun Ruihe asked again: "Why is your companion called Tie Jiu?" ”

"He's from the Iron Mill." Naba now looks at Sun Ruihe like a fool.

Sun Ruihe knew about the iron mill, which was the place where the "birth metal" came from the inner line of Mara City. It is also one of the few villages that can live in the city.

He perked up and asked, "You're not from Tiefang?" ”

Naba said sullenly: "I am a wrestler, I want to work to satisfy the owner, so that my son can learn ironwork and become an ironworker." ”

Sun Ruihe asked with a red face: "What is iron?" ”

"It's the method of producing iron, and there are very few people who know it."

Sun Ruihe guessed that he might not know, but he still had to ask: "How does the iron technique work?" ”

This is also a phenomenon that is difficult for people on earth to understand. According to their common sense, whether it is steel and iron, it must have a blazing fire and a blast furnace, thick black smoke and high chimneys, but not only is there no such equipment in the city of Mara, not even black smoke has been emitted.

Now that the Temple War has begun, the city of Mara is working overtime to produce war materials, and all kinds of metal weapons are the majority. However, no matter how many ships of metal entered Mara City, and how many ships of ore entered Mara City, there was never black smoke from smelting, and no ore flowed out.

Therefore, everyone can only attribute this to the skills of the alchemist.

Xijiang Water Village also captured some high-ranking officials and knights, such as His Excellency the former Great Sir. But these people either pretended to be noble, or they just didn't know, and occasionally some of the manor owners described it, that is, until the ironshop.

The work in the iron workshop seems to be like the secret art of transporting goods to the villagers, which has been kept secret for hundreds of thousands of years.

Naba replied in a reasonably disappointing manner: "I don't know." ”

"Does Tie Jiu know?"

Naba's expression darkened, and he said in a low voice: "I don't know, Tiehuo knows, he is dead." ”

According to the naming method of the Western Continent, the more irregular the name, the higher the status, but ordinary villagers have regular names, such as Hunting Wind and Tiehuo, who are named after nature, are already considered high-ranking figures in the village.

Sun Ruihe was slightly disappointed, but he still adhered to his interrogation rules, and said with a pleasant face: "Then what do you usually do?" ”

"Lux is the one who carries heavy loads in the ironworks." Naba paused for a moment and said, "The one with the name is the man of the iron mill." ”

"It seems that you have a very good relationship with Tie Jiu." Sun Ruihe smiled at the camera and asked, "Is the heavy object you are talking about iron ore?" ”

"Not necessarily."

"There's ore in there, isn't it?" Sun Ruihe had seen ships bring ore into Mara City, but there were no blast furnaces and other refining tools in the city.

"Yes." Naba basically cooperated, and he didn't have any sense of belonging to the ironshop.

Sun Ruihe changed his words and said a little hurriedly: "The ore transported into the city has been made into metal ingots by you with iron?" ”

"Yes."

"Then this time, all you brought back are metal ingots."

In this sentence, Sun Ruihe's tone was much harsher. This is also a secret that everyone in Shuizhai wants to know.

Da Yang was glaring at the same anxious outside.

His intelligence unit is the most under pressure. If he had three to five months to focus on this issue, he would have found the other mine. However, Chen Yi's time was too tight, and the Western Continent was too unfamiliar, and there were few capable subordinates, so it was really not so easy to get important technical information from the enemy.

In the anticipation of everyone inside and outside the room, Naba said softly: "Iron fire uses iron magic outside. ”

"How does it work?"

"I don't know."

"Do you see a point?"

There was no more silence.

Sun Ruihe knows that this is an important moment.

After drinking water to brew his mood, he used the most advantageous threat in his hand to say with unprecedented seriousness: "You have to think carefully and clearly, tell me everything you see, and answer well, otherwise, not only will you not survive, but Tie Jiu will also die." ”

Naba was anxious and said, "Your people promised me, that adult, that you will definitely cure Tie Jiu." ”

"We'll heal him, but you have to tell us what you want to know, or you two will still die."

Naba's head probably couldn't run such a complex sentence, and only knew how to cry: "You said that you will cure Tie Jiu, and you will cure Tie Jiu." ”

She Lei outside laughed heartlessly. Sun Ruihe, who claims to be an omnipotent special soldier, rushed to interrogate the prisoners, but it was very interesting to get such a result.

The two people in the room naturally didn't know the laughter outside, Sun Ruihe was still pretending to be serious, and said: "Tie Jiu is cured, but you must answer my question truthfully, otherwise I will kill him." ”

Naba understood now, so he naturally asked, "If I said it, can you let me and Tie Jiu go?" ”

"If you say it all, you can."

"We're not going back to Mara, we're going to be in the city-state of Rani."

The city-state of Rani wasn't far away, but he couldn't think of any farther.

Sun Ruihe said with a calm face that it was okay.

"We need to have a little money......"

"Yes."

"3oo, no, 5oo copper." Although Naba looks silly, when it comes to vital interests, it still has the wisdom of a strong man.

"I agreed to them all, but at this point, there are only these three conditions." Sun Ruihe softened his tone, picked up the teacup, and said, "You can say it." ”

"Yes." Naba shrunk his neck.

There was a soft cheer outside, after all, everyone is young, and it is really exciting to be able to make such a major breakthrough and solve a problem that has been hanging over their heads for a long time.

Naba brewed for a while, and under Sun Ruihe's extremely stern eyes, he recalled in a whisper: "That day in the Magical Mountain, I was supposed to go to the first gate, but Tie San asked us to go to the second gate, and after arriving, Tie Huo asked me and Ran San to go to the sentry, and I climbed the tree, and it was a gate tree, and I saw a little bit." ”

His words were not very organized, but Sun Ruihe didn't want to interrupt and let him say it first.

"I see...... I saw Tie Huo and Tie Jiu put the God Box into the second gate and hung it with a thick rope, as if we were hanging it out of the city. After a sand time, pull out the thick rope again, open the god box, there are metal ingots inside, they fish 1o times a day, and then let us move out, it took 4 days, enough 4o copies, we went out of the mountain. ”

This passage is not very clear, and when Naba said it, Sun Ruihe was thinking.

He didn't continue to ask Naba to describe the problem, because he wouldn't mind going into more detail if he wanted to.

Sun Ruihe first asked: "Magical Mountain, is it a mine?" ”

"It's mineral-producing."

"Where." That's the first question to ask.

Scratching his head, he suddenly said, "I want to drink water." ”

The gentlemen outside with anticipating expressions almost hit their heads on the display.

Sun Ruihe made a gesture, and Da Yang personally sent the water in. Boiled water in a paper cup is probably worried that he will commit suicide.

"Thirsty? Drink it. After saying that, Da Yang also sat next to him.

Sun Ruihe was a little unhappy, and felt that Da Yang was grabbing credit. But his status is not higher than that of a double-waisted man, and he is not good at being angry in front of the captives, so he acquiesced to Da Yang's behavior.

Naba drank the water in one breath, stretched out his hand, and said, "I want more." ”

"No more. You have to answer my question, where is the mine? Sun Ruihe said angrily. If it weren't for this guy asking for water, where would Da Yang have the opportunity to participate in the interrogation.

It's a big credit for nothing.

Naba reluctantly tiantia, said: "Follow the magic road, it is the magic mountain." ”

"Be specific."

"Yes." We hung out of the city at night from the west, and went out of the city to take the magical road, which was a road along the water, and there were never wild beasts on the road, and the road was narrow, and at most two people were side by side, and the beasts could not be lucky. Arrived at the lake, right in the middle of the lake. That mountain is the Wonder Mountain. Arrived at Magical Mountain...... After arriving at the mountain, there are three gates, put the god box in it, and there will be metal ingots coming out, not necessarily anything. ”

It's a bit upside down, but it's clear.

Dayang opened the map, pointed to the lake in front of Mara City, and asked, "Is this it?" ”

This lake is quite vast, and the island inside has a county seat. But the exploration team has been to the island in the lake, but it has not appeared. Of course, this is not surprising, Xijiang Shuizhai can't organize a professional exploration team at all, in fact, even if it is formed, it is very difficult to find mines.

The search for ore veins is not simply the use of instruments, but also the analysis based on geographical conditions and history. The Western Continent is poor and white, there is no information, even if the good luck digs the mine, it is difficult to judge the location of the ore vein and the reserves of the mineral deposit, which is of little practical significance.

It was based on this understanding that the gentlemen in the water village targeted the locals, hoping to get intelligence and information from them.

Naba replied "yes" in a loud voice.

Da Yang wrinkled his nose and said, "Do you know how this picture looks?" ”

Naba shrunk his head and said, "I don't know." ”

"Then you think clearly, if you say it wrong, I will also kill Tie Jiu."

Naba looked at Sun Ruihe for help. Maybe in his eyes, this soldier-like guy is safer.

Sun Ruihe proudly raised his face in the Chinese character, patiently explained the views of the map to Naba, and then asked: "Magical Mountain, is it here?" ”

"Yes." Naba must have been a lot more this time.

Sun Ruihe maintained a friendly smile and said, "Think clearly, we'll send someone to see it now, it's wrong to die Tie Jiu." ”

"It's here." Naba's tired look made people feel almost nervous.

Da Yang glanced at Sun Ruihe with a smile, got up and said, "I'll go and verify." ”

The intelligence officer left the interrogation room, and even Sun Ruihe felt a lot of pressure, and said almost with a smile: "Naba, don't worry, as long as it's the truth, we will definitely let you go." ”

"Send us to the city-state of Lani and give us 5oo copper coins." Naba is like a wilted peasant, who can only make a fart with a bang, but when it comes to money and food, he is a hundred times more energetic.

Sun Ruihe nodded helplessly and repeated: "Send you to the city-state of Lani, and give 5oo copper coins." Now let's have a casual chat. ”

"And let us go." Naba was tangled.

Sun Ruihe had to nod again, and hurried up to ask: "What kind of thing is the god box you are talking about?" ”

"It's big, it's long, it's square." Naba gestured, about a half-meter-long and 3o centimeter-wide box, the height of which is unknown.

Sun Ruihe secretly recalled the confiscated metal ingots, which seemed to be a few laps higher than this.

So, he said to the camera: "We'll bring in your belongings later, and you can see which one is the God Box." ”

"When I left, the iron fire hid the god box in the mountain, saying that it would be used next time."

Sun Ruihe immediately asked: "Where are you hiding?" ”

This is important information.

"I don't know. We used to dig ore, and only this time we met the God Box. When the iron fire is hidden, it does not let us know. On the contrary, Naba was a little ostentatious, and when he saw the artifact in the iron workshop, he was also a little proud, and he became more comfortable, and once again took the initiative to ask: "I want to drink water." ”

"Here you go. We're sending someone to find the God Box now, where do you estimate? "Sun Ruihe said it to Naba, but also to outsiders.

"At the second gate, the others don't know." Naba spoke more and more smoothly.

Sun Ruihe guessed that Naba Xing really didn't know anything else, but he was reluctant to give up, and now if he asks for any information, it is quite valuable, and he may have a lot of credit. For example, the God Box.

Although the Western Continent has a magical side, it is actually still in line with the most basic laws in the universe, Sun Ruihe does not believe that the god box has the ability to "create metal", otherwise the ironmill people can produce in the city, why risk their lives to go out of the city, or spend money to buy ore. This magical iron-smelting method not only made Sun Rui fascinated, but also made him see a golden avenue.
