Chapter 42: The Roar of Steel
Today is a special day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wang Xiaotian did not stay in the comfort of his office, and his figure did not appear on the construction site of the Graystone Alliance as usual.
At this moment, Wang Xiaotian was wearing a big pants and squatting near a hill.
And his nearby goblin Karn, the dwarven hammer, are all crouching here like him.
Three different races, staring ahead in the same posture at the moment.
"Appeal ......"
The three of them exhaled at the same time, and the clouds were shrouded in mist, and they saw the three bigwigs of the Graystone Alliance holding a cigarette in their hands, swallowing the clouds and spitting out the fog.
That's right, it's cigarettes.
In the ambush battle in the valley ahead, Wang Xiaotian used a large amount of tobacco burning hallucinogenic method to weaken the enemy in the preliminary preparations.
This tobacco, after a little processing, becomes this cigarette that can swallow clouds.
After defeating the slave catchers, Wang Xiaotian harvested tens of thousands of gold coins, and after the conversion, he cultivated a large number of rune fields on the periphery of the Greystone Alliance.
This batch of gold coins greatly alleviated the food pressure of the Graystone Alliance, and at the same time, Wang Xiaotian thought about ****** commodity era that would be ushered in in the future.
He cultivated several acres of different botanical gardens, including cotton and tobacco......
At the moment, his pants and cigarettes are the fruits of this batch of crops.
When cigarettes were produced, curious goblins and dwarves were the first to fall in love with it.
These two races of little men are unexpectedly fond of this pleasure-producing cigarette.
After tobacco was born, Wang Xiaotian considered that many orcs usually had no entertainment, so he launched cigarettes, of course, there were many more launched at the same time.
Since then, the Greystone Alliance has had an additional group of smokers.
This is probably the first batch of smokers in the other world.
And at this moment, the three of them are squatting here, waiting for a product related to the future of the alliance - steel.
Steel was once the metal that measured the strength of a country on earth.
At this moment, what the Greystone Alliance is doing is open-hearth steelmaking, which is not fundamentally different from the local steelmaking method, both are decarburized raw steel, but the open-hearth steelmaking method here is more scientific.
In short, Wang Xiaotian hollowed out a hill, and then built a special steel-making furnace according to a certain structure, this "hill-style steel-making furnace" has three outlets, the bottom is the fuel and waste export, providing raw materials and heat, and the middle is two blowing ports to provide oxygen and exhaust gas, and the top is the tapping port.
This steelmaking process is complex and stuffy.
Today is the day when the first batch of steel is released, and Wang Xiaotian is waiting for this batch of steel to come out at the moment.
Wang Xiaotian, who didn't smoke, was depressed at the moment, and couldn't help but start to swallow smoke.
As the minutes and seconds passed, Wang Xiaotian, Karn, and Iron Hammer were like three, facing the scorching sun and smoky.
"It's done, it's established!"
A dwarf who was pitch black and sloppy rushed out of the hill happily, shouting loudly,
When Wang Xiaotian heard this, he hurriedly threw away the cigarette in his hand and hurriedly ran over.
Karn and Hammer also hurriedly got up and gave chase.
"Where, where?" Wang Xiaotian rushed down and asked anxiously, "Quickly show me the finished product!"
"Look, my lord," the scruffy dwarf pulled out a jet-black piece of iron.
Wang Xiaotian touched this piece of "iron", felt the residual warmth on it, and this unique texture, and couldn't help but sigh: "The great development of my Gray Stone Alliance is coming!"
That's exactly a piece of steel!
Steel products are one of the symbols of modernization, and rune technology also needs a good carrier, undoubtedly, steel is a cheap and affordable material, whether it is life or military in the future.
Wang Xiaotian couldn't wait to visit the second batch of steel tapping process, and in the sultry hills, Wang Xiaotian's mood was as refreshing as eating popsicles!
The flames burned, and the molten iron turned into steel.
Wang Xiaotian seems to be able to see the future, the steel roars, and the alliance will become the steel giant of this land.
......
Beyond the Great Wilderness, the town of Blackstone.
This is the closest town to the Great Wilderness, most of the town's residents are adventurers, the Great Wilderness is dangerous, but it is also full of opportunities.
There is always a group of people, they are hungry for wealth, they are not afraid of hardships and dangers, they explore the unknown, and they open up wastelands, and this group of people is the orthodox adventurers!
This is a group of people with their own beliefs, and after each older generation of adventurers retires, they will always pass on their experience to the next generation of young adventurers, and their reward may be just a distant stone.
This inheritance of the torch, this infinite love of adventure, is such a group of people who built this town in the black soil outside the great wilderness.
On the other hand, there are adventurers who love adventure, and there are mercenaries who regard money as their life!
The former is an explorer and a spirit, and the latter is a greedy and outlaw.
At this moment, several caravans were transporting a large amount of supplies and walked out of Blackstone Town.
They are the Great Wilderness Caravan, the product of the failure of the orcs to rebel against humanity hundreds of years ago.
This group of greedy merchants always begins to march into the Great Wilderness after the winter and when the monsters are calm.
They exchanged cheap food and daily necessities for the demonic beasts and furs that the orcs desperately hunted in the Great Wilderness, and after these furs and demonic cores changed hands, some of them would become the coats of nobles, and some would become the cultivation materials of human warriors.
At this moment, it has been almost a month since winter.
The first month after winter is the month of slave hunting, which is common knowledge of the Great Wilderness caravan.
During this time, although the orcs are easier to squeeze, but the great wilderness is also more dangerous, the winter monsters begin to forage, the great wilderness at this time is full of blood, those slave hunting teams are taking advantage of this time to enter the great wilderness, and only those strong slave hunters dare to enter the great wilderness at this time to hunt orcs.
And after the first month of spring, powerful caravans will start to move one after another.
These caravans often have a certain amount of force, but they are still mainly traded, and generally after a month, the demonic beasts of the Great Wilderness have almost returned to their normal state, and at this time, those merchants are like sharks that smell fishy, swarming here.
These greedy merchants, they are constantly oppressing the orcs.
The orcs grew poorer and the merchants richer, and they exchanged the precious riches for a pittance.
Even these merchants of the Great Wilderness simply call the Great Wilderness "merchant farms", and these orcs are like serfs, they only need to come and harvest once in a while.
In the long run, the orc race will only perish in front of it!
It is such a group of vampires, they set out from the town of Blackstone at this moment, and walked into the wilderness, and when they exchanged enough goods, this group of caravans will return to the town of Blackstone, and then sell these things to all parts of the human world.
