Chapter Seventy-Two: A Strange Steel Mill
Every soldier of the Jin Dynasty's coalition army is eager to try, and they are full of confidence looking forward to the landscape in front of them will become a flat river. However~~ To the surprise of all of them, no matter how much the collective power of the earth demon martial arts increased, the topography of this land did not change at all, as if it had been cursed by the "gods"!
Xiangjilia looked at everything in front of her in bewilderment, hesitated for a while before sighing and said: "It seems that God is blessing those refugees, they should not die! Send an order to go down, build a base, and prepare for a long-term siege, since they can't be completely eliminated, and they can't be allowed to become bigger and stronger, set up a province here, divide them from the inside, and find a way to recruit those who are willing to be loyal to the empire!"
"Nuo~~!" Some princes who were not willing to fight and kill immediately responded loudly, but the king of Jin was extremely sad as if he had eaten several flies that had just flown up from the stool.
Xiangjilia's decision made those soldiers who did not want to be butchers even more overjoyed, they were very happy to build a new home, they could not fight, not to die, who did not want to live well?
Two cities were erected on the grassland in a short period of time, which made many merchants excited, even if the checkpoints of the Xuanlie Empire were strict, they could not stop the private transactions of smuggling and smuggling, and the dwarf fortress once again restored the appearance of a trade center a long time ago.
Chu Mengchen was slightly relieved to see that the enemy had given up the strong attack and was preparing to trap these refugees. He entered the dwarf fort overnight to find the old Donner, and when the old Donner saw that "Seventeen" was coming, he hurriedly gave him a warm reception.
"It seems that Uncle Donner is in a good mood~!" Chu Mengchen said with a smile when he saw this.
"Hehe~~, TOEFL TOEFL, if it weren't for your wonderful minting method of Seventeen, how could there be so many orders and amethyst coins to earn!" Old Donner now even narrowed his eyes with a smile.
"Oh~~ Uncle Donner, do you want to make more money?" Chu Mengji asked with a slight groan.
"What~~ can you make more? Could it be that you have a better manufacturing method and didn't tell me?" Old Donner's eyes, which were originally narrowed in a line, suddenly widened like a lamp!
"Now your Kajo knife is indeed very profitable, but after all, the quantity is very small, the price is inflated, when the demand of that part of the specific customer is satisfied, because the quality of the knife is extremely good, not easy to damage, it will definitely slowly disappear with the decrease in demand. Therefore, I suggest that you open a large shop specializing in the manufacture of raw materials for Kazhuo knives, reduce costs, and make ordinary magic weapons affordable, how big the market should be~~! Not to mention that the shop is big, more well-known, and its reputation is self-evident...... "Chu Mengji began his flickering again.
When Old Donner heard this, his eyes immediately burst into starlight, and he could already foresee that the demonic forces of the three empires were scrambling to buy cheap "quasi-artifact" scenes, and the formed armies were equipped with their own products...... Old Donald was drenched, and he was demented.
"Hey~~!Uncle Donner~~, wake up~~, your big shop hasn't been built yet, don't think about it yet~~!" Chu Mengchen hurriedly shook the old dwarf's big head and woke him up.
"Yes, yes~~, I don't have such a big shop yet!but~~, there are so many blacksmiths in the dwarf fort, there is really no room for me to develop and build the big iron shop you are talking about!" Old Donner became very anxious after being shaken awake.
"Uncle Don't worry, don't worry, I can provide you with an excellent place for a big shop..."So, Chu Mengchen informed Old Donner of the idea of building a new city in the place where the refugee camp was located, and taught him a little knowledge of how to make steel on a large scale.
In the end, Chu Mengchen promised to give Old Donna a large piece of land for the development of steelmaking land. Old Donner's eyebrows rose in joy when he heard this, and he took Chu Mengji's hand as if he had a second spring and said: "Seventeen~~!If you really let me build the ~~what~~ steel mill you said, I will get half of the profits to you!"
"It's easy to talk about money, the most important thing now is that you have to hurry up and move your blacksmith shop to the new city, but we have three chapters, and the methods I provide you must be determined according to the actual situation, and you must not discharge those waste residues and dirty water at will, you can only discharge them into the first black water river, otherwise don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless!" Chu Mengchen didn't want his newly built city to bother with secondary greening and cleanup, he had enough of the torture caused by urban pollution in real life!
Of course, Old Donner knew Chu Mengchen's intentions, and he patted his chest to ensure that his blacksmith shop would never pollute the environment! The two talked deeply for a long time, and it was not until dawn the next day that Chu Mengchen said goodbye in the reluctant eyes of Old Donald.
Half a month later, Old Donner led his forces to enter the designated place planned by Chu Mengchen, it is undeniable that Old Donner's team is indeed relatively strong, and in less than twenty days, a small-scale steelmaking plant under the personal guidance of Chu Mengchen began to take shape.
When the first furnace of molten steel was poured into the heat-resistant pool, Old Donner and his disciples wept tears of excitement with joy. Pieces of steel billets were neatly stacked in the warehouse, buckets of high-quality ore were poured into the steelmaking furnace, and the first steelmaking plant in another world officially began to operate!
According to Chu Mengji's deployment, the goblins and the orcs fully cooperated, and the above-ground part was just a very simple framework, most of the buildings were used for defense and combat, and some were used for the cultivation of crops. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, this new city is a fortress used for war and garrison. It is surrounded by two layers of concrete walls, the first of which is just a barrier wall made of broken scum that failed to make cement, only slightly harder than rammed earth. However, the second layer is indeed a solid main wall made of thick high-grade cement and poured steel bars contributed by the old Donner!
Under the suggestion of Zhou Jin, the clay and sand cleared from the tunnels completely covered the walls of the inner city on the ground with soil camouflage, so that those who do not know why can only conclude that the walls are thick and clay.
Winter has quietly arrived, the biting cold wind used to be the most feared natural torture of the refugees, and now in the new city, the refugees will no longer be bullied by this cold wind, some of them live in spacious and sturdy cement buildings, and some simply do not come out of the warm dungeon, because an extremely large energy geothermal source is being cleverly used by Chu Mengchen as a central heating.
Carefully managed and built by these suffering refugees, the new city is gradually showing a unique and thriving atmosphere......
In the palace of Emperor Xuanlie, Emperor Xuanlie was playing against his younger brother Prince Xuanying in his residence. Suddenly, there was a violent spatial distortion, Prince Xuanying's body gradually blurred, and Emperor Xuanlie looked at his younger brother in horror with a desperate and helpless look, and he was still breathing and shouting desperately with his mouth open, but no sound came out.
Emperor Xuanlie didn't know what was happening, he only felt a huge soul aura filling his bedroom, and it took half an hour for Prince Xuanying to return to normal.
"Second brother~~, what happened to you just now?" Emperor Xuanlie hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern.
"Second brother~~?you actually call this king the second brother~~?It's so bold that you can~~!" Prince Xuanying suddenly became extremely cold and gloomy, and a trace of orange light appeared in his eyes, which made Emperor Xuanlie feel terrified.
"Who are you~~?" Emperor Xuanlie asked with a trembling right hand pointing at Prince Xuanying at this time.
"You are not qualified to ask this king, Xuan Ying's body has the breath of my jade of the seven spirits of the mortal realm, blame him for having something that he shouldn't have!As for you~~, this king limits you to Prince Xuanying within three days, so that this king can save you from death, otherwise ~~hum hum~~~" This Prince Xuanying smiled coldly.
"My second brother has what's wrong with him?you~~Why do you want to do this?" Emperor Xuanlie was annoyed, and pulled out his sword and pointed at the Prince Xuanying in front of him.
"You~~ don't know what to do!" After Prince Xuanying finished speaking, his body moved slightly, leaving an afterimage in the eyes of Emperor Xuanlie, and after a while, Emperor Xuanlie felt that he was in severe pain, his head was dizzy, and he fell to the ground with a "plop".
"Someone~~!The imperial brother is in a hurry, quickly pass on the imperial doctor~~!" Prince Xuanying called loudly.
After a while, several red-clad Bright Priests hurried over, followed by a group of civil servants and military generals.
Emperor Xuanlie frowned, his face turned blue, and he was unconscious. Several cardinals teamed up to cast soul rejuvenation techniques and advanced purification techniques, but to no avail, those light spells that stimulated their potential seemed to make Emperor Xuanlie more and more terminally ill.
"Your Excellency, Your Majesty's condition is very strange, and we cannot cure it, please allow us to go to the Pope, and hope that his old man will have the power to return to heaven!" one of the cardinals asked.
"Okay~~, please as soon as possible!I hope that the imperial brother can be auspicious and recover as soon as possible!" Prince Xuanying pretended to be anxious and pleaded.
Since Emperor Xuanlie and Prince Xuanying have always been close, most of those old ministers know that Prince Xuanying is definitely a heartfelt "good brother", so no one has any doubts about Prince Xuanying, only that Emperor Xuanlie is likely to have a recurrence of his old illness and his longevity is approaching.
For three days, Emperor Xuanlie showed no signs of improvement, and the palace was gloomy, and Prince Xuanying thought that the imperial brother was sharing state affairs as an excuse, and naturally made decisions on various state affairs.
On the morning of the fourth day, Emperor Xuanlie seemed to have some movement, and those loyal old ministers immediately rushed to visit, and Prince Xuanying naturally stayed on the bed, watching intently how his "imperial brother" was doing.
Emperor Xuanlie opened his dim eyes, his eyes had already lost the luster of the past, he saw that all the loyal ministers were by his side, gathered all the strength in his body, raised his right hand, and pointed at Prince Xuanying to tell them that the bastard in front of him dressed as his younger brother was not the real prince.
However, when he pointed his finger at Xuan Ying, he froze in that posture, no matter how he wanted to move in his heart and how he wanted to scold in his mouth, he could only stay there and keep his original appearance......
