Chapter 6 Wash it when you're done
With curiosity, Fugui continued to follow up, and sure enough, after a while, the corresponding answer jumped out of the officer's thoughts, and the front-line exploration team found a magic crystal mine, and there happened to be a tribe living there.
It's not just right, the nomads on the Char steppe have a lot of non-human characteristics, in summary, some are similar to the orcs in the novel, although they don't know alchemy, they have a strong talent and bloodline.
For example, you can find Magic Crystal Ore hidden deep underground, although it is difficult to excavate, but even if you live above it, the concentration of magic energy there is much higher than that of other places.
Transcendents also need magic energy to exert their abilities, just like wealth, they need to consume magic energy to exert their abilities, and there are two ways to replenish magic energy, one is to absorb magic energy solution, and the other is to absorb free magic energy in the air.
The former is fast, efficient, and suitable for combat, but expensive, while the latter is slow, inefficient, but wins at no cost.
And there is another disadvantage of extracting the magic energy in the air, if the instantaneous extraction amount is too large, the concentration of magic energy in the air will be reduced, and it will take some time to replenish again, naturally, they are willing to live in a place with a higher concentration.
Of course, these are not the point, the point is that after the discovery of the magic crystal mine, the border kingdom naturally wants to take it over, which is countless times more precious than ordinary ore, so the small war immediately escalated.
For example, after today, it will be requisitioned along with the railroad tracks to deliver supplies to the front line, and as for why the city is closed, on the one hand, it is to prevent merchants from secretly selling supplies to the tribe, and on the other hand, it can be regarded as a reserve for the reserve population.
If something unforeseen is happening ahead, according to the laws of the kingdom, it is eligible to draw men from various small towns in the rear.
"Damn, is this old man really the protagonist?"
Coming back to his senses, Fugui looked at the old York, who was smoking there and didn't know anything, if it weren't for the old man who smoked early and woke himself up, with his biological clock, I am afraid that he would not still be sleeping at this moment.
If he wants to leave, he can probably only break in, or use the ability of stealth to leave secretly, but Old York is undoubtedly going to be detained...
"Sometimes, the gap between people and people is bigger than that between people and dogs."
A stalk from the Internet in his previous life surfaced inexplicably, and Fugui only thought it was a joke before, but at this moment, he couldn't help but believe it...
"What's wrong?"
Leaning on Fugui to look at himself suspiciously, Old York couldn't help but ask.
"Have you always been lucky?"
"Lucky?"
Old York crushed his cigarette butts.
"If it's an escape, it seems like this, I've been digging for so many years, but I haven't encountered a mine collapse when I'm digging, once, I went to pee, and before I came back, the mine collapsed..."
"Awesome.."
Inexplicably, Fugui had an idea, and after going back, it seems that he could consider letting Old York be a mascot or something.
...
"Huh~~~Huh~~~"
After about an hour, the ore was transferred with the help of several huge alchemy machines, and the steam locomotive pulled the whistle and started slowly.
In the distance, the small town of the gold digger's house, which had only been here for a few days, was slowly retreating.
"Huh? Isn't this the lad from the other day? ”
Fugui Xunsheng looked at it, it was the man with a scruffy beard and yellow teeth, but at this moment he was covered in dust and was walking out of the compartment door.
"You didn't go to the mines."
"Nope."
"You're in luck."
The man sat not far from Fugui, looked at the empty carriage, and let out a long sigh.
"You know what? I heard that there was going to be a war on the front line, and the town was directly sealed, but fortunately I was a stevedore, otherwise I might have been trapped here. ”
"It's not that I'm lucky, it's that he's lucky."
Fugui didn't speak, just glanced at Old York.
But old York was not surprised, and no one knew what he had been through all these years, but vaguely, under his old and wrinkled countenance, there was a slight sigh.
Lucky? He maybe.
But the home is gone.
Only he can taste the taste...
"Where are you going?"
"Back to Wallash."
"The capital? Also, it is the most prosperous place in the border kingdom. ”
There are actually several towns in the territory of the border kingdom, but the most prosperous is naturally the capital city of Wallash, which literally translates to the meaning of the city of logging, which is the origin of the border kingdom, and continued to expand its territory through the first steam revolution, and finally included all the surrounding territories.
In a sense, its history is really similar to that of the British Empire, but Britain developed naval warfare, while the border kingdom chose to expand its achievements on land, and even encouraged immigration.
But Fugui himself believes that the approach of the border kingdom is more correct, and the resources that the territory can bring to the land are incomparable to those of a simple colony, and when the British navy declined, his colonies slowly escaped control.
The former world hegemon can only be reduced to the next two permanent in the end, and although France is also the second permanent country, because Africa still retains its own territory, it should actually be a little better mixed than Britain.
"If you want to find a job, I also have acquaintances there who can introduce you."
As he spoke, the man pulled out another leaflet from his backpack.
"What the hell are you, eat two fish, don't you?"
Looking at the notices advertised the recruitment of workers in various factories in Valashri, Fugui was somewhat unable to laugh or cry, but as if he had thought of something, he took the leaflet again.
"So, you're familiar with the factory in Wallash or something?"
"That's nature, and no one knows it better than I do."
"He is also a person who runs for life."
Sensing the thoughts in this man's head, Fugui couldn't help but sigh, and he was probably a not so lucky person, there was a sick daughter at home, and his wife was dead, so he worked so hard.
"How's the factory in Wallash doing now?"
"Factory.."
The man took a cigarette handed over by Old York, thanked him, and then said.
"A few of them are good, but most of them are not."
"Why?"
"If you can't sell it, you dare to say that it is a factory to build a few houses in these years, and you can produce things cracklingly, and the quality is just that, and the price has no advantages, if you want to sell it, how can it be so easy, of course, it must be better than our civilians."
"It's about market saturation."
This information is similar to what Fugui has collected before, the border kingdom is so big, the GDP is so much, and the manufacturing efficiency of industrial monsters is far more than the growth rate of people's income, and the solution is to expand the population, which is not urgent, and then exports.
In fact, the Frontier Kingdom has been doing the same, fighting with the Chars in the south for resources, and then exiting the Storm Strait in the west and going north along the coastline of the Shining Sea, selling their goods and resources in exchange for a profit.
However, in addition to the royal family of the kingdom, only some big nobles have such qualifications and abilities, excellent quality, and the reduction of finished products under mass production, and of course, the squeeze of the bottom...
Of course, it doesn't matter if he's just laundering money.
In fact, his own plan is to go back to a factory or workshop or something to launder money, the only problem that needs to be faced is still the first pot of gold, not to mention the construction of a factory, the movement is too big, but it is the next plate, the origin of this investment money, also needs to be rationalized.
To be honest, he didn't think of an answer to this question for the time being, but he was not in a hurry, and quietly sold the magic crystal after he went back, one million in his hand, and there was always more room for operation at that time, in the capital world, money is everything.
And again...
Fugui looked at old York again, maybe this old koi fish might bring him some surprises, no kidding, this is a world with extraordinary abilities, once in a while luck can be said, but lucky for decades, who dares to pack a ticket to say that it is not a transcendent ability?
