Alves baked in front of the fireplace his large, rough hands, which had once been as delicate and soft as the other nobles, but now the palms and backs of the hands were covered with calluses. It was rough work and heavy work, even if his small body was not suitable for manual work, but who made him a dwarf?

While at Hookehold, he was a despised monster. Even though his brother Aubrey trusted him and made him the treasurer of Castle Ring, he still had to do many things...... He is needed to maintain the sewers, to be needed when there are bad insects in the farmer's fields, to the leaking roof of the castle, in short, where there is rough work. Over time, Alves is very clear about all aspects of production, life and construction, and even proficient.

Not many people can do this, but he, he did. He wrote down the problems he had encountered, and he wrote down the problems he had dealt with, and the books he had read were piled up on the shelves and piled up in the room, all his treasures, only to have them burned by Dean as if they were filthy things that had polluted his castle...... Although the books were burned, knowledge and experience were imprinted in the mind, and now, these skills and experiences have a place where they can show their talents, and that is Black Hammer Castle.

Alves never imagined that one day he would work for someone outside the family, but fate is always up to anyone. Not only did he serve people outside of his family, but he did his best and put his heart and soul into it. The guy named Rod Lawn saved himself, he had all the qualities of a leader - the people loved him, the soldiers followed him, and even the dwarven lords who were thousands of miles away praised him.

Perhaps, this is fate. When they first met, they thought that Rhodes was at most a lucky one, chosen by Erson to be the Chosen One. It's just that now it seems that there is always something special about the people chosen by the gods.

The people borrowed from Dulong City began to work on the day they returned to Black Hammer Castle, and the dwarven technicians showed their skills as soon as they came. They first entered the mine, surveyed the situation in the deep pit, sampled and analyzed, soil, rock, water source, humidity and so on.

After that, the improvement plan is studied on the spot. A track system was designed for the pit mine at Fort Blackhammer. Similar to the old mining area of Dulong City. Because the deep pit mine is an underground mine, which is very similar to the old mining area of Dulong City, many places can learn from it and even copy it.

Rhodes visited the mines, which were at least ten times larger than the deep pit mines. If it weren't for the minerals, Rhodes would have had to hollow out the entire mountain.

When the intricate and highly professional design drawings were brought to Rhodes by Alves' hands, Rod was simply confused. I'm not a science man, and even if I were, I couldn't understand the dwarves' designs, and the dense horizontal and vertical oblique strips were like spider webs, marked with all kinds of data. There seem to be length, width and thickness. And some, it seems that the hardness and durability of the processing. Rod simply stopped looking at it and let the dwarven technicians he had brought in to deal with it themselves. If you want people, you will provide people, and if you want materials, you will provide materials. Yunnan

The only inconvenience was that the mine had to be shut down during the renovation of the mine. This was unacceptable to Rod. As a result of the negotiation, mining continued while the construction was carried out. That is, it is divided into several areas, one area, two areas, three areas and four areas, one area is constructed at a time, and the other three mining areas continue to work, and the mining area after the construction is put into production, and then replace the next one. In this way, there will not be a situation where a large number of workers will stop work and have nothing to do in a short period of time. It's just that the quarter of them stopped and gave Rod a bit of a headache. They don't have land, so no work means no wages, and no wages means no money to buy food. This creates security problems......

After careful consideration, Rhodes gathered the workers who had stopped working during the renovation of the cave and went to the castle to conduct "safety knowledge training" and "mine operation skills training", and at the same time asked two teachers to teach them to read and write, which is equivalent to the popularization of culture, because the library has not yet been built, and the school has not yet been built, so the training can only be carried out temporarily in the castle...... In fact, it is just to pass their time, not to let them wander into the town and do nothing. During the shutdown, the salary is still paid, but only half of it, which is enough for their basic living expenses, which is equivalent to paid leave.

However, in the case of the entire mine renovation project, it is necessary to train the original workers every time a new area is renovated. At the very least, the dwarves' tools are not something that can be learned overnight, and it will take a while to learn and adapt.

When the first mine was renovated, Rhodes followed a few dwarven engineers into the mine. It should be said that it is just a visit, and it is impossible to accept it by Rhodes...... Because I don't know anything about these things. As designed on the drawings, the new mine is like a spider's nest......

More than a dozen minecart tracks are either attached to the rock wall or erected on the ground, staggered by different heights to form a complex transportation system. Some use potential energy to transport ore trucks directly, while others must be powered by machines.

At the same time, under the transformation of dwarven technicians, the new mine area has both escape, ventilation and dehumidification functions. Special pumping machines have been installed to remove stagnant water from the mine and prevent the breeding of various mosquitoes and diseases. An emergency escape route was also opened, taking into account the function of ventilation openings, in case the mine collapsed, so that the lives of the miners could be saved. At the same time, the dwarven technicians have also built a safe house, which is a place to store food and water, and in case even the escape route is blocked, this will become the last refuge, waiting for the people outside to come to the rescue. However, as for the success rate of the rescue, Rod disagreed.

After repeatedly asking the dwarven engineers about the safety of the system, Rhodes decided to insure the miners! This is voluntary, and only a small percentage of your salary needs to be deducted from your monthly paycheck to buy a cover for yourself and your family.

In the event of an accident, "huge" compensation can be obtained...... Of course, the huge amount here is for the miners, and for Rhodes, it is not too big...... There are many people who are willing to buy insurance because they don't see the newly renovated mining area as safe...... The people of Kislev still know very little about the outside world......
