Chapter 134: Three Beauties Walk Together
Two days later, a horse-drawn carriage left the avenue west of Bonta City and turned into the hill beside it.
A thin arm lifted the curtain, Vivien's little face poked out of the window, and after glancing at the scenery outside, she couldn't help but exclaim: "It turns out that the dwarves live in such deep mountains, no wonder it was difficult to see them before." ”
"That was before, and now it's so easy to meet them. Steele's voice floated out of the car. "Vivien, when the Chamber of Commerce resumes work, if you want to see dwarves, just go to the Chamber of Commerce's magic machine shop, and you can see hundreds of dwarves at any time. ”
"Hmm. Vivien nodded vigorously. "I'm afraid the people of Bonta City are not so curious about the dwarves now, right?"
"But they should still be curious about the elves, don't you say, Miss Anis?" Steele's last sentence turned to Annis on the other side of the carriage.
Yanis thought about it seriously, nodded, and said, "It should be." We elves don't like human contact more than dwarves, and we haven't been seen in front of humans for hundreds of years, so it's normal to be curious about us. ”
"But now that your clan is about to be exposed to humans, Miss Janiss, don't you feel nervous?" Steele asked again.
There was a hint of helplessness in Yanis's tone: "There is no way, our tribe is facing difficulties now, and if you want to solve these difficulties, it seems that only you humans have a way." In order to survive, there is no way to re-expose yourself to humans. Besides, I think Chairman Hsu is right when he says that not everyone on the human race is a bad person, except for good people like Chairman Hsu who are genuinely willing to help us solve our problems. There are people like Vivien, who are as pure in heart as our elves, and people as elegant and beautiful as you, Miss Steele. I also like it very much. ”
Steele's face flushed slightly: "Thank you for the compliment." But I think this can only be regarded as your luck, the first human you met was Xu Yi. This guy is a profiteer though. But it's still very good. Since he promised to help you, he will certainly do it. ”
Annis nodded, "Yes." After many encounters with President Hsu and my observation of his side during this time, I felt that he should be a trustworthy human being. ”
Steele's eyes rolled, and he suddenly asked, "By the way, Yanis, you said that you have been with Xu Yi all this time, so is this the case at all times?
With a natural expression, Yanis nodded again: "Yes"
Steele's eyes widened in surprise: "You were there when he was taking a shower?
Annis didn't seem to understand what Steele meant. Puzzled: "It's the light, what's wrong with this?"
Xu Yi's violent coughing and his angry voice suddenly sounded in front of the carriage.
"Ahem...... Ahem...... I said, Yanis, why didn't you tell me before, and you were there when I was taking a shower?"
Yanis lifted the curtain of the carriage and asked Xu Yi, who was driving, "Because I don't think there's anything wrong with it." Why do you and Miss Steele care so much about this?"
Xu Yi slowed down the carriage, glanced back at Yanis, and saw her innocent expression, so he could only sigh helplessly, and then looked at Steele with a strange expression. A little annoyed, he said: "You're still laughing! I was unconsciously looked down by her, am I suffering?"
Steele snorted softly: "You're a man, what's there to lose." Annis is such a beautiful elf girl, and she will suffer if she suffers. ”
Xu Yi shook his head. Decided not to argue with Steele about this.
However, after seeing that after some conversation, the relationship between Steele and Yanis seemed to have eased a lot, and it was not good to be relieved.
Originally, he was going to go on a solo trip with Yanis on today's trip. But when they set off, they found that Evita and Akali had already gone home. Vivien had nowhere to entrust, so she had to take it.
And Steele didn't know why. You have to come along.
Xu Yi's persuasion was fruitless, and in the end he was forced to agree.
So in Xu Yi's opinion, it was a very simple trip, but there were two extra girls.
But this also has the advantage that the road is much more lively and less boring.
Because Xu Yi funded the construction of the road leading to the dwarven tribe from the avenue, the last twenty kilometers of the road was not purely on foot like when he first came, driving the carriage swaying leisurely, and it took less than an hour to see puffs of smoke rising from the sky in the distance.
"Is there a fire over there?" Steele asked in surprise as he looked at the smoke.
"No, those should be the soot from the steel mill and the lime plant. Xu Yi glanced at the smoke that obscured the sky in the distance and frowned slightly.
Although this scene instantly reminded him of the situation of those factories on the earth, which made him feel a sense of intimacy, but seeing this situation, he had to remind him of the strict problem of environmental pollution.
Originally, the Norma tribe and the Angolan tribe were located in a beautiful area with beautiful mountains and rivers, but since Xu Yi invested in the construction of a steel mill and a lime factory here, the smoke and dust from the two factories have quickly eroded the environment here.
Although the Patriarch Sluby and the Patriarch Monto did not care much, but were happy that the establishment of these two factories had allowed the tribesmen to have a stable income, Xu Yi was well aware of the severe consequences of environmental pollution, so he naturally became worried.
However, the industrialization process on the earth is originally accompanied by strict pollution, and no country that vigorously develops industry can avoid it, so if the Sainz continent wants to develop industry according to Xu Yi's idea, this is also the only way.
But after thinking about it, Xu Yi thought of a problem, what he developed on this continent was the magic industry.
One of the biggest advantages of the magic industry compared to the industries on Earth is that the energy consumption mainly comes from magic, and it almost does not cause pollution.
Since there was no pollution problem in the magic industry that Xu Ye was involved in before. In fact, these two steel mills and lime plants should also be able to avoid this problem.
Xu Yi pondered how to improve the production process given to you by these two factories as the carriage continued to move forward. It didn't take long for them to enter the Norma tribe.
The dwarves such as Canby returned to the tribe during the factory holidays. And I had long known that Xu Yi was coming today, and now when I saw the carriage, the dwarves in the tribe greeted me one after another, led by the Patriarch Sluby.
Seeing that it was Xu Yi driving, and after the carriage stopped, three beauties with different images jumped out of the carriage, big and small, and the dwarves couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Welcome, President Xu. Patriarch Sluby's gaze swept over the three beauties. And stayed on Yanis for a little longer, then laughed and stretched out his hand to Xu Yi.
Xu Yi shook hands with him, exchanged a few casual greetings, and asked Patriarch Sluby to take him to the steel mill first.
This steelmaking plant was built by the Sluby clan leader before Xu Yi went to Anweimar City, because the dwarven tribe had made a breakthrough in material research.
After the hard work of the dwarves, the steel that Xu also named Silver Leaf Steel because of the addition of silver leaf grass powder has basically mastered the characteristics of this steel, and now the dwarves can skillfully refine three kinds of silver leaf steel with slightly different characteristics.
So Xu Yi simply invested a lot of money directly and built this steelmaking plant in the Norma tribe, allowing the dwarves to make silver leaf steel with all their might.
According to Xu Yi's judgment. Silver leaf steel is a steel that has a wide range of uses, and at present, it can replace the ordinary pig iron used in the production of magic fans, magic air conditioners, magic rice cookers, magic lamps and other household magic machinery in the new flying chamber.
If you use this new type of steel, which has excellent hardness and ductility, and also has the characteristics of stainless steel, it is made of zuò. These few household magic machines are bound to change dramatically.
As for the large-scale and heavy-duty magic machinery made of magic machine tools, because of the strong requirements for the hardness of steel, silver leaf steel is not very suitable.
At this point. Xu also had high hopes for another type of steel that had been discovered before, but because the dwarves had not yet mastered it thoroughly. So I can't count on it for the time being.
As for the scale of this steelmaking plant, which is now dedicated to refining silver leaf steel, it can be said that it is extremely small, and it has been in operation for nearly two months. The total amount of silver leaf steel refined is less than 10,000 tons.
By the standards of the planet, this is not comparable to the output of even the smallest steelworks.
However, Xu Yi is also very satisfied with this.
After all, the steelmaking industry on the Sainz continent is still in its infancy, and the output of this small steelmaking plant is constantly increasing, only less than 3,000 tons in the first month, and more than 5,000 tons in the second month.
At this rate, as long as the dwarves continue to become proficient and improve the refining process, and gradually expand the scale, this steelmaking mill will at least be enough to meet the needs of the current Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, not to mention catching up with the level on earth.
Steele, Vivien, and even the elf Annis were shocked when they saw the steel mill for the first time.
The scene in front of them was completely beyond their comprehension.
In Steele's and Vivien's view, ironmaking is nothing more than the process of throwing iron ore into a furnace and slowly boiling it in the blacksmith shops that are common in and around Bonta.
What they were seeing now was a completely different picture.
Piles and piles of iron ore were poured into the huge furnace, and the molten iron like magma flowed out from the other end and finally into the mold, gradually cooling into pieces of steel that shimmered with a silvery white light.
Whether it is the scale or efficiency, as well as the shock, it is far superior to those blacksmith shops countless times.
Steele glanced at the silver leaf steel that had been formed, and asked Xu Yi: "Last time, you said that the magic fan produced next year will use new materials, is this what you mean?"
Xu Yi smiled and nodded: "When the magic fans start selling next summer, everyone will be surprised." ”
Yanis on the side heard the conversation between the two of you, and then looked at the hot steelmaking in front of her, and her confidence in Xu Yi deepened a little.
If this human being was able to create such a shocking scene, it should be easy to solve the problems encountered by his own tribe......, right?
