Badge seems to be thinking about this as well, and has been studying the map for a long time, but has not been able to come up with a good plan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After all, an underground river is not the same as a surface river, and it is almost impossible to divert it or drain the water.

"If we can find the source of the underground river, maybe there is a way. ”

Bucky whispered. But he also knew in his heart that this was just a delusion.

There are no unmelted snow-capped mountains around Black Iron Town, and this season, the underground river with such abundant water may have its source in an unusually distant place.

For example, the Great Snow Mountains in the west are covered under a 10,000-year-old glacier, and due to geothermal heat or other reasons, the ice and snow melt and eventually converge here through the warm underground crevices.

Even with high-tech equipment, it is extremely difficult to find out the veins of an underground river.

Seeing that Baoshan could not take it, Renault could only cry out in vain.

At this time, Mia heard the news and rushed over with great interest.

"Is there really gold in there?"

Unlike the villagers, looking at Huang Cancan's male yellow, there was a hint of nervousness in Mia's smile.

The royal family has spent thousands of years exploring the entire Aoro continent in search of gold deposits, and although there are some discoveries, the gold reserves are getting smaller and smaller.

A medium-sized gold mine is definitely a big event that shakes the kingdom.

"See for yourself. ”

Renault had some gold stone powder pounded with a stone mortar and put it with the same amount of saltpeter.

"Stand a little farther away, this thing is much more fierce than black powder. ”

He condensed a line of liquid fire, just as he got into the mixture.

Peng-

A puff of white smoke was raised, and when I looked into the stone mortar, only a little impurity remained.

Baji, who had participated in the research of black powder, was shocked in his heart, at least ten kilograms of mixture just now, and it actually burned up in the blink of an eye.

If it was the same amount of black powder, it would take at least two breaths.

Although it didn't seem to be much worse, he knew that gunpowder, even if it was a little worse, could be several times more powerful.

However, Renault is not concerned about this, this kind of gunpowder used as a firecracker "lead" in the previous life does not have much advantage over black powder, and can only be used as a firing or detonation.

He just wanted to prove to Mia that the golden stone and gold really had nothing to do with each other.

Looking at the remaining black residue in the stone mortar, Mia was a little disappointed, relieved again, and muttered in a low voice, "Since it's not, what do you want to call it a golden stone...... Really. ”

Without a conflict of interest, it is not easy to have contradictions, and at this stage, everything Renault has done is still with the acquiescence of His Majesty, and she does not want anything to happen that will touch that string.

Renault looked at her, "Do you have a way to mine the ore easily?"

Mia couldn't help but laugh smugly when she heard him say the word "easy" in an accent.

So there's something you can't do, she thought to herself.

For her, who has awakened the Demon Spirit - Ice Dance, her knowledge of water is enough for her to have an opinion on this matter.

"Go find an awakened person who has awakened the 19th Demon Spirit, Flowing Water. ”

Renaud shrugged, isn't this the same as not saying it, the Awakened are already rare animals, and it is even more troublesome to ask for unique demon spirits, not to mention whether there are or not, and even if there is, most of them belong to other nobles.

It's hard to say whether it's troublesome to find an awakened person or to dig up the mountain directly.

And the stakes are so high in this mine, there is no way he can let the distrustful Awakened into life.

After taking the map, Renault looked at it carefully for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

Stupid, he couldn't help but curse himself.

"Can't you dig in another place? This vein must be more than a few tens of meters wide. ”

As soon as these words came out, Baji also immediately clapped his hands, his face was happy, and he understood what he meant.

Just now, everyone's eyes were focused on the underground river, and no one expected this.

So he immediately searched for a new place with Kerry, and after digging through layers of sand and thin layers of shale, he found a gold mine.

Although there is still a small amount of water seepage, I don't know how many times better than mining directly in the underground river.

The most troublesome problem was solved, and Renault was in a good mood, so he asked dozens of tables of banquets to be prepared to reward the villagers who had worked hard during this time.

At the same time, he promised the villagers that they would not have to farm in the future, and that they would be paid very well for helping with mining or transporting ore.

While the village chief Kerry was happy, his heart finally relaxed.

In this way, his village does not have to be relocated, and even if he does not farm, he can still earn gold coins, and he will surely live more abundantly than in the past.

It's just that there are several mountains between here and the railroad outside, and it is very troublesome to transport this ore out.

Renault didn't think so, he had already thought of a countermeasure, "Don't worry about this, let's go straight to the tunnel." ”

Kerry was stunned, there are at least five or six kilometers of tunnels from here, and this tunnel will have to be drilled for what year and month?

After determining that there are sufficient reserves of various ores, the next task is how to mine and transport them.

Renault had a large open space open on the side of the railroad outside, preparing to build a station of considerable size, and adding a track to the station.

The ore transported in the future, after being loaded in the carriage, can be directly pulled back to Black Iron Town by the locomotive.

As for how to get out of the mountains, as he said to Kerry, dig tunnels.

Originally, according to his current technology, it was not realistic to dig such a long tunnel.

But he has a "magic mouse mining machine", as long as he is in the right direction, both ends of the excavation at the same time, it only takes more than a month, and a six-kilometer-long tunnel will be dug through.

Of course, this matter cannot be known to these villagers, and it is necessary to keep it secret.

After the thick steel frame was reinforced, and then the track was laid in the tunnel, he would use the app to build a steam locomotive specifically for transporting ore.

While all this was ready, the two thousand laborers under the leadership of Badge had already opened thirty mines in the small basin, and a large amount of ore was to be sent to Black Iron Town.

In order to save labor, Renault extended the track of the Black Iron Town railway station to the other end, directly to the door of the fertilizer factory's workshop.

This only requires the ore to be shoveled from the wagon into several huge hoppers, and the conveyor belt below can move the ore to the machines in the workshop.

In the past month, Renaud has lived in this village, practicing demon spirits every day, doing some work plans for the territory, and at the same time taking it as a vacation, and taking Vivi and them out for dinner a few times, which is quite relaxing.

When everything was finished, watching the dark gray particles being sent out by the conveyor belt, he immediately asked Hailei to help conduct a comparative test.

He took the seeds of an apple tree about the same size as Sko, put them in ordinary dirt and soil with mineral fertilizer, and let Hailei use the power of the demon spirit to make them sprout and produce them, and finally bear fruit.

"Don't look at it, the apples here must be delicious. ”

Mia pointed to two tall and large apple trees, which had a lot of mineral fertilizer under their roots, and the apples produced were large, round, and very plump.

On the other hand, the other two apple trees are not only short, but also small and irregularly shaped, giving them a sour taste.

Having confirmed the effects of the mineral fertilizer, Renault ordered mining to be carried out as fast as possible, almost day and night. (To be continued.) )
