Xu Yi looked up at the small hill in the distance that looked a little abrupt on the Black Rice Wasteland, and then pointed to a place not far from the hill that was composed of a bunch of wooden houses that seemed to be a small village, and asked President Relsa, "That should be the Worrall Werewolf Tribe, right?"

President Relsa looked at Xu Yi in surprise: "President Xu, how do you know? Could it be that you have actually been to the Black Rice Tribe before?"

"Didn't come. But I know that there are good things in the vicinity of this Worrall werewolf tribe. Xu Yi smiled slightly, pointed to the small hill and said to President Cruise, "Didn't you just say that you didn't understand what good it is for me to build the road to the gate of the orc tribe? ”

President Cruise and President Resa looked at the unremarkable hill in the distance, and President Resa shook his head, "I've been here so many times, but I never knew what treasure was buried under that little broken mountain. ”

"That is, if there is really something good, the orcs of this werewolf tribe have not been dug up and sold a long time ago, and they are still waiting for you to dig it?" President Cruise also looked incredulous.

"First, they don't have the strength to dig out the treasure down there. Second, they don't know the treasure down there, and even if they have the ability, they won't dig it. Xu Yidao. "And now that I have the ability to dig up those treasures, and I also know what those treasures can be used for, then who can you let if you don't wait for me to dig them?"

Seeing that Xu Yi didn't seem to be joking, President Cruise frowned and asked, "President Xu, what kind of treasure is down there, and it's worth your special trip to the orc clan?"

Xu Yi glanced at President Relsa: "President Relsa." Are you interested?"

President Resa thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Of course I'm interested." I've been doing business with the orcs in the Black Rice Wasteland for so many years. But it's the first time I've heard of what treasures there will be in this place. President Xu, you say, come and listen, if it's a good thing. We're all working together to dig it out and make some money. ”

"Good. Xu Yi deliberately said it in front of him, of course, he planned to pull him into the gang.

If you want to do something under the noses of these orc tribes in the Black Rice Plateau, it will definitely be difficult for someone who is not familiar with this place to do it.

President Resa was the most suitable candidate for Xu Yi's selection.

"According to the information I have now, if nothing else, there is a very rich vein of non-ferrous metals hidden under that hill. The main reserves should be aluminum ore and copper ore, as well as some tungsten ore and a small amount of lead ore, if they are mined, it is very beneficial to industrial development. Even if you don't use it on magic machines, you can use it in other places......"

"Stop!" President Cruise interrupted Xu Yi with a raised hand. "I said President Xu. You've been talking for a long time, but I barely understood a word. I know copper, because I use it to make copper coins, but what are non-ferrous metals? What are aluminum, tungsten and lead? What the hell are you talking about?"

President Resa on the side was also confused: "Yes, I also know about the copper mine, but what are these non-ferrous metals you are talking about, what are they used for?"

Xu Yi was stunned, and then remembered that the mining and utilization of non-ferrous metals on the Sainz continent was extremely rare. In addition to some copper veins mined for the production of copper coins, even the use of iron is not particularly large because of the underdevelopment of the machinery industry.

What's more, these non-ferrous metals that have not been further processed and do not look as good as iron.

"Uh...... Explain to you in detail the role of these non-ferrous metals. I'm afraid it won't be able to explain it in a while. Let's put it this way, now the price of a ton of iron ore in the Falcao Chamber of Commerce has been increased to seven gold coins, so do you know? If he could sell me a ton of copper ore, would I pay for it?"

President Cruise frowned, "Copper ore is mainly used to mint copper coins. The kingdom officials are very strict, even if you want to buy it. There's no way the Falcao Chamber of Commerce will sell it to you. ”

"Well, I'll change the example. Belch...... The price of aluminum ore is too different, so it is said that lead ore is good. For the same ton of lead ore, I am willing to pay twenty gold coins to buy it!"

President Cruise and President Resa raised their eyebrows at the same time, "What you said is true?"

"Of course it's true, what did I lie to you about. Xu Yi snorted softly. "I tell you, the use of non-ferrous metals is even more extensive than that of iron, and there is a great need for the use of magical machinery. President Cruise, didn't you always hope that I could help you develop some large-scale engineering magic machinery, our Chamber of Commerce has not been able to develop them before, in addition to the bottleneck limitation of the research of the magic array power, but also because of the material limitations. ”

"Because of what non-ferrous metals are needed?" asked President Crews.

"Well, that's it. Iron and various alloy steels alone cannot fully meet the requirements of making large-scale engineering magic machinery. ”

In fact, this sentence is very nonsense, the production of large road construction machinery, ordinary steel can definitely be competent.

But now Xu Yi is trying to pull these two people into the gang, bullying them and not understanding them anyway, so they can talk nonsense casually.

Sure enough, hearing Xu Yi's answer, President Cruise nodded: "Well, then I understand." But it doesn't matter what it's for, just know that these non-ferrous metals you said are worth a lot of money. Since there is something valuable......"

President Cruise looked at President Relsa, and President Resa immediately snorted coldly: "It's a waste of these good things to stay in the territory of the orcs, anyway, those simple-minded orcs won't understand the value of these things at all, so we might as well dig them out." ”

Xu Yi laughed, thinking that this President Resa didn't know if it was because of his own personality, or because he had dealt with the orcs for too long, he was infected by the orcs into this arrogant personality that he said he would.

But if he agrees to join the gang, it doesn't matter what his personality is.

Of course, if you want to mine non-ferrous metals under the noses of the orc tribe, you also need to think carefully.

The three of them got together and discussed carefully for a long time, and then came up with a preliminary plan, which was to be brought into the Worrall werewolf tribe by President Resa first, and then depending on the situation.

After deciding on the initial course of action, Xu Yi came to Steele's side, who was wandering back and forth on a wasteland with only a few grasses growing not far away.

"How's the situation?" Xu Yi asked.

Steele's face was heavy and he shook his head: "It's not good. You see......"

Steele lifted his foot and pressed a little the ground, and the ground immediately sank into a small hole.

There is no soil moisture in the pit, only yellow sand.

"This wasteland has become like this, no wonder there is so much sediment rushing into the Sandy River. Steele said in a deep voice. "But I asked them a little earlier, and they said that although the Black Rice Wasteland used to be barren, the ground had always been overgrown with weeds, and it was not at all as desolate as it is now. ”

"It should be because these orcs are overgrazing, and the vegetation resources in this wasteland are depleted, so it causes soil erosion. ”

Xu Yi squatted down, grabbed a handful on the ground, and grabbed a handful of fine sand.

The fingers only let go slightly, and the fine sand poured down from the cracks of the fingers like running water.

Feeling the touch of the fine sand flowing between his fingers, Xu Yi sighed in his heart.

This situation is very similar to the situation in the great northwest of the Celestial Empire on earth.

When he was on Earth, he went to visit because of the construction machinery problem in a northwestern province, and he was very shocked when he saw the barren land and yellow sand everywhere.

He knew very well that if this situation was not addressed, eventually the entire land would be desertified and no longer inhabitable.

In fact, there are a little signs of desertification in this black rice wasteland in front of me, and if we leave it alone, I believe that it will not take many years for this wasteland to become a desert.

At that time, not to mention that these orcs may not be able to continue to live here, even the kingdom of Lampari, which is closest to the Black Rice Wasteland, will be affected extremely harshly because of this.

Compared with the earth, the Sainz Continent has a huge advantage in this regard, that is, the existence of the elven race.

The elves are known as the forest races, and even when they ruled the entire continent of Sainz before the Race Wars, the elves lived in cities made of a large number of trees.

At that time, the entire Sainz continent could be said to be completely covered in greenery, not to mention deserts, and there were very few places that were not even covered by forests.

Under the long-term historical precipitation, the elves have a special inheritance and ability to cultivate plants.

The situation in front of the Black Rice Wasteland is already very tricky on the earth at the level of technology, but in the eyes of the elves, it is not a problem at all.

Xu Yi looked left and right, and found that there was no orc race, so he shouted softly: "Yanis." ”

Yanis's figure quietly flashed beside Xu Yi, Xu Yi pointed to the sandy place and asked her, "How is it?

"It's simple. Yanis's very affirmative answer instantly reassured Xu Yi. "In fact, the elder sent his clan to talk to these orcs decades ago, hoping to plant a forest on the Black Rice Wasteland and improve the environment of the Black Rice Wasteland. But it was rejected by the orcs. ”

Xu Yi glanced at Yanis, thinking that on the Sainz continent, the forest can almost be used as a synonym for the elven race. You elves ran to tell the orcs that they wanted to plant a forest on your orc territory, and that was no different from saying that I was going to take your territory, and it was strange that the orcs could agree.

But this time, it was not the elves who said they were going to plant trees here, but Xu Yi, a human, I wonder how the orcs would feel......?
