As soon as the streetlight thing was done, Claire pulled Isaac out of the Academy of Sciences again.

Luckily, though, it's still in the design phase of the airship, so Isaac doesn't have to stay in the Academy to tinker with it, and Claire says she'll show him a new gadget when she goes there, which fools him out.

However, he stayed in the carriage all the way, unfolding the drawings and constantly scribbling on them, and every part of the magic airship was designed by him, and not only that, but he also had to consider the coordination between the parts.

They were joined by thousands of people from the city of Nafu, most of whom were able-bodied adult men, all of whom had been mining in the past. There are also talents that Claire has recruited from the royal capital and various nearby cities, most of them are blacksmiths and metallurgical talents recruited from the royal capital, as well as several urban construction planners.

Claire planned to build an industrial city with a focus on mineral metallurgy between the four minerals, which is why he was reluctant to give the four minerals to the Lisis Chamber of Commerce for mining.

If you simply sell minerals, then the money you get is only the part of the raw materials, which is not much at all. And if you dig it yourself, not to mention that it can increase the number of employed people in Nafu City and increase the income of residents. In addition, if iron ore and copper ore are processed into iron ingots and copper ingots, the difference between the price of the finished product and the price of the ore raw materials will be more.

This is the case with the ore mining business of the Lisis Chamber of Commerce, processing raw materials into finished products and doubling the price before selling them.

However, Claire did not plan to compete with the other party in this regard, as long as the other party lowered the price a little, he would not be able to sell these finished iron and copper ingots, and he could be beaten to death.

That's why he has a preferential policy of recruiting blacksmiths and craftsmen everywhere, and sends some metallurgists and blacksmiths with average skills to this side, mainly responsible for the production of metal ingots, as well as some simple metal products, such as axes, hoes and other daily necessities, and then sells these daily metal items to nearby cities and towns.

Iron and copper ingots are transported to the Blacksmith Street in Nafu City, where craftsmen like Gordon have a unique craft that can be used to craft these metal ingots into weapons, or crafts, and even more powerful, magical weapons that can enchant inscriptions. After these things were created, the price increased several times compared to metal ingots.

These benefits cannot be obtained by mining minerals by the Lisis Chamber of Commerce, and the addition of this industrial pillar has a lot of role in promoting the development of Nafu City.

And it's already profitable, Claire just needs to solve the housing problem, and with a gentle push, the town will develop naturally, and there will be enough consumers here, and there will definitely be businessmen who will come here to open restaurants and sell daily necessities. Over time, the town will grow.

As the main city of Griffin, Nafu City will also become an economic center in the southern region of the kingdom.

……

Before coming back, Claire had finalized on the map where the new town would be established, not in one of the four minerals, but in an average value, and a plain with the most convenient communication with the outside, after all, everything produced here in the future would have to be transported outside for processing and sale, and if the transportation was inconvenient, it would have an impact.

Isaac on the side saw the place where Claire circled and stopped what he was doing.

He pointed to the location above with his finger and said, "This place is indeed convenient, but the distance from those four minerals is not close, and we don't have the kind of spatial teleportation circle of the Lixis Chamber of Commerce......"

The transportation methods used by the Lisis Chamber of Commerce are different from most common transportation methods, other chambers of commerce are transported by horse-drawn carriage at the lower end, those who are a little richer can use giant monsters, and those who are large can take the waterway, and it is relatively rare to transport them by air, and there are many monsters in the air to death and their strength is still strong, if there is no need, the general long-distance transportation will not be transported by air.

However, the transportation method owned by the Lisis Chamber of Commerce is a one-way spatial teleportation circle developed by several magician-level mages, which can directly teleport the mined ore to a city specializing in smelting metal ingots, although the consumption is not small, but it can save a lot of money in terms of transportation costs.

There are two-way and one-way teleportation arrays, two-way ones are like space channels, and the price of use is relatively high, and the one-way ones are a lot cheaper, and then subdivided into them, they can transmit living and dead things, and the space teleportation circle of the Lisis Chamber of Commerce transmits ore, that is, dead things, and if there are living things that go in, they will be directly torn into pieces of meat by the space.

However, the advantage is that the cost is much cheaper than that can teleport creatures, and the original Lisis Chamber of Commerce also took the waterway and used giant demonic beasts to transport at the beginning, but the profit was pitifully low after the cost was shared, and then I found the magician of the Wangdu Magic Academy who specializes in the laws of space to get this set of teleportation circles at a high price, and it was from that time that the Lisis Chamber of Commerce gradually became a giant monopolizing the mining of the entire kingdom.

If Claire wants to make a spatial teleportation circle like the other party, or even a low-profile version of the teleportation circle, it is estimated that these four mines will be hollowed out, and even the cost will not be recovered.

"I know." Claire whispered, sliding her finger across the map, connecting each of the four mines.

"This is the closest place to all four mines at the same time, and it is quite convenient to get to the outside world, so it is the best place to build a town."

"What about transportation? How do you transport the ore from the mine, if you want to use the airship or other magic artifacts I developed to transport it, the cost is high, and the consumption of Warcraft crystal nuclei and magic crystals can smooth out your profits. ”

Isaac simply didn't think about such an impractical thing as transporting ore by horse-drawn cart, so much ore was transported by horse-drawn cart? Then this town can simply be turned into a horse farm, and there must be more horses than people.

"You Isaac still know the word cost." Claire quipped.

Isaac has always done things without considering the cost, otherwise he would not have persuaded Claire to make a magic bullet with 100,000 gold coins, and these days he has spent thousands of gold coins allocated to him by Claire in order to get the fabric of the airship, and it is estimated that he will have to spend more money if he wants to build an airship in the future.

Isaac scratched his head in rare embarrassment, "It's indispensable to spend money on researching this kind of thing." ”

Claire smiled, didn't care about the money, and said, "Of course I took into account the transportation problem, so didn't this call you over?" ”

Isaac's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Is this the new thing you told me?" Hurry up and show it to me. ”

"Don't worry." Claire took out a test tube from the spatial ring, injected some water into it, and then took out the stopper to plug the mouth of the bottle.

Then, with a snap of his fingers, "Smack!" ”

A fireball the size of a ping-pong ball appeared in front of the two of them, and Claire cast her mage hand again, holding the body of the test tube bottle and extending it into the fireball.

Claire was able to control the temperature of the flames and not let the fireballs melt the glass bottles.

Within a few seconds of the test tube touching the flame, the water inside boiled, and the crystal clear glass tube was filled with water mist, and the fog was foggy.

"Bang!"

There was a crisp sound, and the cork popped out like a bullet, and Claire grabbed the cork and brought it to Isaac's eyes.

Still a little puzzled, Isaac pointed to the cork and said, "This is what you want to show me?" ”

Claire nodded: "Yes! This solves the problem of transportation! ”
