Chapter 5: Spring Thunder
Iron ore!
At this moment, Zhang Quan finally felt a little reliable. After so many days of messing around with this group of strange orcs in this world, it seems that he has finally found the direction he should work towards. Yes, minerals, minerals that should not be lacking in any native nature. It is the goods that Zhang Quan can find in this world that can really be used for a large number of time and space transactions.
In the past period of time, since he inadvertently had the treasure of the space-time shuttle and appeared in the Gaia world, Zhang Quan has been thinking about how he should open up the value of this world in his own hands.
Trading gold to earn the first pot of gold can only be temporary, no matter how this is a luxury product, the market tolerance is limited, and it is impossible to use it as the main product of time and space trading all the time.
Minerals are different, this thing has a huge trading volume in the modern world, it is not eye-catching, it can do business for a long time, if Zhang Quan can lay a good channel over there to send some goods, I am afraid it will not cause any trouble. With the current mining scale that Zhang Quan can make in this primitive world, it can meet the needs of private small steelmaking plants in that world. Transporting iron ore from this Gaia world, and then transporting grain and refined steel from the earth world, a business, earning profits on both sides, this thing, capable!
However, if you want to open a mine here in Gaia World, you can't rely on old Kate and her group of orcs alone.
Zhang Quan just doesn't know much about this line of work, and he knows that this mining has been a huge manpower since ancient times, even on the earth of modern industrial society, coal miners are also the most dangerous and unpopular occupations in society, and the shelves of mining mines on this side of the Gaia world must be erected, just rely on what twenty or thirty orcs can help here.
It must be known that no matter what kind of world you are in, there is great power in numbers, and this is an eternal truth!
Now, if Zhang Quan wants to start this business, he also needs more labor force in this world to obey his orders! The orcs on this grassland are all born good laborers, not picky eaters, not making trouble, strong strength, strong physical fitness, and it is a natural choice to do mining in an industry that requires a large concentration of intensive labor, and at the moment, these twenty or thirty orcs are the spark among them.
Without further ado, he immediately turned his head and asked Kate. "Kate, what do you think of your life in the winter now, with me providing you with food?"
"Yes, yes!" Kate was a little stunned.
"Then in the future, if I say that in the future, I will let you live a better life, and you will obey my orders whether you want to or not."
"Hmm......" Kate was even more confused, don't we all listen to you now?" We listen to what you say. ”
Zhang Quan looked at Kate's eyes seriously, trying to be sure that Kate was telling the truth from his heart, but unfortunately, he failed, and these orcs on the grassland almost never knew how to panic since they were born.
Zhang Quan gave up the temptation, okay, so be it!
"Then I'll give you more food next, can you get more people for me? I have one thing, I need to have more orcs. ”
When Kate heard this, she hurriedly replied excitedly.
"Really? Of course, of course, more people can be recruited. There is not much in our wasteland, the wandering orcs are like stars in the sky, everywhere, as long as there is food, how many orcs can't be recruited, even those complete small tribes, in this winter, as long as there is enough food to attract, I'm afraid they can't come! ”
Old Kate was so excited by Zhang Quan that she was broken. Zhang Quan listened to it for a long time before he understood what he meant, it turned out that the winter on the grassland has been a catastrophe for the orcs since ancient times, and every time the catastrophe occurs, the orcs on the grassland will lose most of the population.
Therefore, before every cold winter comes, the orc nobles on the grassland must be on guard, such as facing the enemy, storing food, strengthening armaments, and expelling the old, weak, sick and disabled in the clan, such as Old Kate, a small wanderer orc race, in fact, this is how they were expelled from the clan. Like Kenya in their group, he was born with a defect, his wings were unbalanced, and he always flew to one side, and the little Bill Gais, who was more than two meters tall, looked many times stronger than Zhang Quan, but in the real Bill group, he was just a teenager with poor nutrition. Old Kate, as the recognized leader of this group, is just a veteran and an old wanderer who was disabled in the Battle of the Frontier Haylar Fort the year before.
These orcs all seem to be much stronger than humans, but in fact, they are all wasted people who have been expelled from their orc race, and their living conditions are extremely miserable. It's no wonder that when they first arrived here, as soon as they heard that Zhang Quan could provide them with food, they quickly accepted that Zhang Quan, a strange human being, had a foothold here.
There are many such wanderer orcs on the grassland, almost everywhere, in the eyes of the orc nobles to survive is a pure waste of food, and after the cold winter comes, these orcs who have lost their race and have no supplies are almost 100% extinct. This is the continuous survival of the fittest on the grassland for thousands of years.
Under such extremely harsh conditions, if Zhang Quan could provide enough and a large amount of food, would it be a bright light in the dark night, and it would not be able to attract a large group of wandering orcs to come one after another? That's impossible, in fact, even those real orc races will be more or less attracted to food.
Food, in this extremely barren orc wasteland, is actually equal to population!
After listening to the old orc's explanation, Zhang Quan finally understood a little, and the more confident he was in the plan in his heart.
Isn't this just recruiting troops with grain!
It turns out that Lao Tzu will too! Hehe!
The plan in my heart has been decided, and I will do things step by step with the orcs now.
First of all, Zhang Quan took the only "technical talent" in this group of orcs - the Minotaur (Boer) Garon to go around to investigate and prospect for minerals, this work is the old business of the Minotaur tribe, it is not difficult for them, and then it is only half a day, and it is true that this grassland is indeed worthy of iron ore everywhere, and it turns out that this small hill where their group of people live is itself an open-pit iron mine that is easy to mine.
It's good now, the resources are so abundant, so that Zhang Quan is more confident in the beautiful blueprint for the future in his heart, so that he doesn't have to look for it anymore, and simply build the first base of this time and space in the future, as for the name, Zhang Quan already has a certain number in his heart, that is an incomparably loud and meaningful name in the earth's science fiction world - "base".
At the moment, Zhang Quan didn't care about the barrenness of the small iron mine around him, so he immediately beckoned half of the orcs and started digging with him.
The rest of the orcs also had something to do, and Zhang Quan ordered them to ride their own riding beasts one by one and run to the surroundings of this wasteland. Spread the news that a large amount of food is provided here to recruit people!
Zhang Quan's idea is that regardless of the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and does not refuse women, children and children, as long as it is the population, he wants them all, in his eyes, these simple-minded orcs on the grassland, even women, girls and children, may be regarded as good productivity compared to himself. Just like his own body, he has only just adapted to the gravity of this planet, and he can't even do simple work.
Population, as long as it is a population, should be regarded as a productive force at this stage of society, and if there is productivity, then there will be large-scale output, and with output, he will be able to make his own small foundation bigger and bigger, rolling and unfolding.
Otherwise, but it's just a small fight like this, how can you be worthy of your own adventure?
Zhang Quan, the tradition of the orcs in this wasteland, has finally figured it out a little, just like those nomads on the steppe in the history of the earth, there is basically no decent civilization. The vast majority of orcs live by instinct, and they have nothing to do with Mingchuang.
In this steppe, animal husbandry is the only form of productivity, and the only thing that the orcs will do is rob and fight. The orcs on the grassland, you rob me, I rob you, grab over and grab the past, the most glorious historical period of the orcs, is to finally promote this form of organization, all the way out of the wasteland, grab the territory of the human race, but soon to fight back, the entire grassland for tens of thousands of years of history, is simply a history of continuous wars and robberies between the various tribes of the orcs.
With such a history, there is no real vitality of civilization.
Naturally, it is impossible for science and technology to take root in such a form of civilization.
But this situation is really good for Zhang Quan, an outlier. Mobilize grain, use a lot of grain to connect their hearts, and use the output of modern industry to arm them. As long as the source of the supply of food and other living resources is controlled, then the forces on this grassland can be controlled.
The so-called blank sheet of paper is good for painting. Such a primitive world, such a production relationship underneath, is not exactly what Zhang Quan can use to splash ink and create history!
The natural environment of this world is very similar to the earth, so according to common sense, there should be no shortage of natural mineral resources, this orc wasteland, looking at the environment and climate, is very similar to the Mongolian Plateau on the earth, the Mongolian Plateau is a place with extremely rich underground resources, how can there be no good things?
Think about it, in fact, this world is equivalent to the earth before the rise of industrial society, and those incomparably precious natural resources on the earth today are like being in the depths of the ** here have not been opened! Now, Zhang Quan has come, bringing the vision and strength of the earth's industrial science and technology, and bringing the earth to such a vast and vast market.
Wouldn't it be up to Zhang Quanyu to take it and take it away, dominating and dominating the world at will!
This qiē in front of me, this qiē is mine!
From the bottom of his heart, Zhang Quan shouted hysterically!
……
In the early morning of the second morning, Kate and his men relied on Zhang Quan to survive on the thirty-eight orcs, of which they belonged to five races: the Wing Clan (Berg), the Sheep-headed Man (Gaut), the Bear Clan (Bill), the Kobold (Doug), and the Centaur (House).
Although these people were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and they were all wasted in the wasteland of the past, but with the support of Zhang Quan's large amount of food, they all recovered their health in a short period of time, and they were reborn from the fire, and they were all high-spirited, as if they were the most powerful warriors in the race, full of energy.
With Zhang Quan's order, half of the nineteen orcs followed him to mine, while the remaining eighteen orcs scattered in all directions, spreading the slogan of Zhang Quan's infinite summoning of wanderers and weak tribes at the cost of food.
At this time, these obedient orcs under his command actually didn't think about what the meaning of this action they had personally participated in was to the orcs here in the Northwest Wasteland.
