There are indeed many dwarves in the Falling Rain Valley.

After more than half a year of construction, the new dwarven tribe has basically taken shape.

Now, in addition to most of the dwarves of the Norman and Angolan tribes, several dwarven tribes that Xu Yilet Patriarch Sluby and Patriarch Monto have contacted have also moved here.

Now the number of dwarves in this new tribe has reached a staggering 2,000, and almost all the completed parts of this new tribe are occupied.

When President Cruise saw the dwarves move in a month ago, he was almost stunned, for he had never seen so many dwarves together in his life.

You must know that even if all the dwarves in the Lampari Kingdom are gathered together, it is very likely that there will not be more than 50,000, and a small settlement here has exceeded 2,000.

No wonder the lord of Satsuma City also specially told Xu Yi that he must be optimistic about these dwarves and not let them make any trouble just because they live together.

Xu Yi naturally agreed to this, and the way to deal with it was very simple, that is, all these dwarves were assigned work to do.

For a race like the dwarves, who have a straightforward and honest personality, they can already be satisfied if they have food and drink, and as long as they accept the work that Xu Yi has arranged for them, not only will they have enough to eat, but they will also have a salary to pay, so that they can use these salaries to buy some good things to improve their lives.

Although Xu also strictly restricted them because of their work, and they were not allowed to drink at will, this was only limited when they were working. I don't care about the time outside of work.

What's more, every once in a while, a few truckloads of Saatchi Manor wine will be brought in, and a good evening will be held for a drinking party. Let them have a good drink.

This kind of life is a perfect life that all dwarves can't dream of hiding in the mountains before!

Since that's the case. How could they have any troublesome ideas?

On the contrary, I am grateful to Xu Yi for helping them achieve such a good life, whether it is the dwarves of the Norman and Angolan tribes, or the other dwarves who migrated later, they can be said to do their best to complete the work that Xu Yi has assigned.

And as President Cruise commented, the dwarves are the most perfect workers because they have great strength, good physique, and dexterous hands that surpass ordinary people.

With the efforts of these dwarves. The development of the Falling Rain Valley is progressing extremely fast, almost every day.

Before the Rainfall Highway was completed and opened to traffic, the dwarves had leveled the ground of the Rainfall Valley and were ready to build factories.

When the Falling Rain Highway was completed, a large number of materials were quickly transported in through the Guò Falling Rain Highway, and the dwarves and the workers of the Amritri Chamber of Commerce who joined later worked together, and it was only in a short period of time that the Falling Rain Valley was greatly changed.

Compared with the first time Xu Yi came here to inspect the Falling Rain Valley, the current Falling Rain Valley has become a large construction site.

In addition to the new Dwarven tribe still under construction in the remote living quarters, in a section close to the Rainfall Highway. Huge factories are rising from the ground.

According to Xu Yi's plan, the Falling Rain Valley is used as the production base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

In the Falling Rain Valley, Xu Yi arranged a special production workshop for each household magic machine.

And these production workshops, no matter which one of them are several times larger than the current domestic magic machinery production workshop in Sanketon Manor. Enough for hundreds of workers to work in it at the same time.

While building these production halls, President Cruise asked Xu Ye questions in person.

He felt that even with the scale of the new flying chamber of commerce's current factory in Sanchidon Manor. It was enough to produce a household magic machine that fully met the needs of Bunta City and several surrounding cities, so why build so much in the Falling Rain Valley at once. Such a large production workshop?

Xu Yi repelled his doubts with a word.

"Could it be that the target of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is only Bangta City and the surrounding cities?"

But no matter how many new factories are built. No matter how big it is, it is certainly impossible to fill this rain valley that is more than ten square kilometers in size.

In addition to the living area and light industry base, in fact, in Xu Yi's planning, the heavy industry base under the name of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce should occupy the largest area in the Luoyu Valley.

It's just that whether it is for the entire Sainz continent or for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the so-called heavy industry is currently only in a rudimentary state.

Aside from the mechanical production represented by the magic machine tool workshop, the heavy industry under the name of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is only the steel mill of the Norma tribe.

The mill is currently producing just over 6,000 tonnes a month, a long way from the smallest mill on the planet.

As for wanting to become a large-scale steelmaking mill in Xu Yi's mind that can support the entire Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the entire Lampari Kingdom, it is still far from it.

At present, the steel mill is mainly refining silver leaf steel, meeting the needs of the new flying chamber to produce automatic magic rice cookers, magic bread machines and a new generation of magic air conditioners.

And if this output is maintained, it will undoubtedly not meet the requirements in Xu Yi's mind, and it will even gradually fail to keep up with the demand of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce after expanding production.

Therefore, after Xu Yi and President Cruise rode into the Falling Rain Valley in a carriage, the first thing they saw was a group of dwarves lifting a huge iron furnace more than three meters high and nearly two meters in diameter, and then pushing the iron furnace towards a high support.

"It's a spectacular thing. It was the first time President Cruise had seen this thing, and he couldn't help but admire.

"It's still small, you'll see even more spectacular later. Xu Yi despised President Cruise's loneliness in his heart.

Indeed, compared with the large-scale converters of those large-scale steelmaking plants on the earth, which have specifications of tens or even hundreds of tons, this Xu Yi himself relied on his memory to design, and then worked with the dwarves to study the final formed converter, which can only smelt just over ten tons of raw materials at a time, and is not at the same level in steelmaking capacity at all.

But after all, this is the first real converter on the continent of Sainz, which means that the steelworks will gradually move away from the artificial steelmaking that used to rely purely on dwarves. The efficiency of steelmaking will be greatly improved.

According to Xu Yi's estimate, if this converter is combined with a series of steelmaking equipment designed subsequently, it can be put into production. The output of this steel mill will increase several times, and it is very likely that it will exceed 20,000 tons a month in one go.

And this is only the first experimental piece of equipment. If we wait until the whole set of equipment is tested, and then after corresponding improvements, the steel mill can invest in several more sets of the same equipment, and then the output of the entire steel mill will definitely make an explosive leap.

Thinking of the situation that this steelmaking mill will continue to produce a large amount of steel in the future, Xu Yi can't help but be a little excited.

The so-called machine, no matter how high its level of technology, is still made of all kinds of steel.

If we can't guarantee an adequate supply of steel, then modern industry is simply a castle in the air, with no foundation at all.

Those nations of the earth. If you want to evaluate their industrial strength, one of the most important numbers is the amount of steel produced.

If a country's steel production is still at a very low level, then there is no industrial strength to be discussed.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi's mind flashed the shadow of Camilla's great magician.

When researching steelmaking equipment, Xu Yi and the dwarves encountered a very important problem, that is, how to increase the speed of smelting iron ore.

If the dwarves follow the old method of using shaft furnace heating and smelting, not to mention the slow speed, it will also occupy a huge space in the field. It is very unfavorable for the planning of the entire steel mill.

So Xu Yi habitually took out this issue and discussed it with Grand Magician Camilla, but was directly despised by Grand Magician Camilla.

It turned out that in the opinion of Grand Magician Camilla, it was not enough for the dwarves to use coal to raise the temperature of the fire.

In fire-based magic, there are many high-level spells that produce temperatures that are much higher than what coal can provide.

Later, after discussing with Xu Yi. In the end, Grand Magician Camilla decided to use the ninth-level fire magic, the Flame Burst Technique.

In the smelting furnace used in this steelmaking mill now, there is a flame bursting magic circle arranged by Grand Magician Camilla himself.

Compared to coal smelting, once the Flame Bursting Circle is activated. The temperature rises extremely fast, and the rate at which the ore is smelted is much faster. Therefore, only one or even smaller melting furnace is needed to match the steelmaking speed of the converter. The overall efficiency has been greatly improved.

What's more, the adoption of this smelting furnace does not require the consumption of coal, but only the consumption of mana crystals.

Compared to coal, the magic crystal is not only countless times cheaper, but also has no pollution.

Thinking that this was even more convenient than the arc smelting furnace on the earth, Xu Yi couldn't help but sigh again.

Even though the Sainz continent is much inferior to the technological level of the earth, with such a thing as magic, it is inherently much superior to the earth when it began to develop industry.

While Xu Yi pondered the meaning of the steelworks, President Cruise noticed a few discarded magic fans, magic rice cookers, and magic air conditioners piled up like small mountains in the open space next to the steel mill.

"Xu Yi, isn't the trade-in activity of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce just to recycle these old magic fans or something, and then return them to the furnace for smelting?"

"Of course, why take it back?" Xu Yi said.

President Cruise shook his head, "That's not a good deal. According to your trade-in activity, just an old magic fan can be worth fifty silver coins, but if you return to the furnace to smelt, it can only be regarded as a few catties of scrap iron at most, and even ten silver coins are not worth it. If you do that, you might as well buy iron ore directly from the Falcao Chamber of Commerce. ”

"First of all, the price of iron ore has risen a lot now, so this old magic fan is worth more than thirty silver coins just by selling scrap iron, and we haven't lost much. Xu Yi said with a smile. "Secondly, in fact, these magic fans, magic air conditioners, magic rice cookers, etc. produced by our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce last year are all made of old technology, and the materials are also ordinary pig iron, which is actually not of good quality. By recycling them now and replacing them with a new generation of products from our new flying chambers, we can avoid quality problems that will affect the reputation of our new flying chambers. ”

"Reputation?" President Cruise glanced at Xu Yi in surprise and sighed, "Although the reputation of a chamber of commerce is indeed very important, it is not as important as you, right?"

"You may not understand reputation yet, well, I'll tell you, it's called building a brand, do you understand?"

"I don't understand that. President Crews immediately shook his head.

"Okay, to put it simply, if there are two magic fans in front of you right now, one of them is a new flying brand magic fan produced by our new flying chamber of commerce, and the other is a magic fan of other brands produced by other guilds, and the price of the two magic fans is the same, which one will you choose?" Xu Yi asked.

", of course I bought your new flying brand magic fan. The magic fans produced by other chambers of commerce are not as good as the new flying brand. President Crews replied without hesitation.

"So what if the price of other brands of magic fans is lower than that of Xinfei, which one will you choose?" Xu Yi then asked.

"It depends on how much lower. If it's just a little lower, I'm sure I'll still choose the new Flying Magic Fan. If it's a lot low......" President Cruise hesitated for a moment and replied, "I'll still choose the new Flying Magic Fan." Anyway, I definitely want to buy this kind of thing in the hope that it is good enough, and it is a pure waste of money for me to buy a bad one. ”

Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Now do you understand the role of the brand?"

President Cruise was stunned, then suddenly realized.

When he looked at Xu Yi again, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes. (To be continued......)
