After saying this, Lin Yan focused on the copper mine to the people present, and took out all kinds of copper utensils he brought back.

The dazzling bronze objects attract everyone.

Unlike the heaviness of iron, bronze itself is golden and has won everyone's love.

After looking around with satisfaction, Lin Yan said: "There is a copper mine in Mingwan Village, this is the copper ware they smelted, it looks good." ”

Everyone nodded in unison, and no one didn't like the dazzling glitter of gold.

"It's copper ore, green, blue, it's beautiful, it's versatile. There are many metal elements in it, and as long as they are shipped back, we can refine many kinds of metals. Therefore, it is imperative to open up the road to Mingwan Village. ”

Shui Pozi was the first to say: "You have walked for eight months to reach Mingwan Village, so far, it is impossible to rely on us to build roads." ”

Leng Fang: "Yes, it's too far, it's difficult to build such a road." It is impossible to climb over countless mountains and cross rivers on the way. This is not to go to the mine, only more than 300 miles. ”

Without waiting for others to speak, Lin Yan hurriedly said, "What do you think, it is really impossible to build a road from the ground." I'm talking about taking the water route. ”

The person who was still going to speak closed his mouth and waited for Lin Yan to continue.

"We walked all the way, and we remembered the approximate directions, and also made records, speculating that the Ming River in Mingwan Village is very likely to be connected to the Yang River. So, next year I'm ready to explore by water. If the speculation is correct, the time from Sun City to Mingwan Village will be greatly shortened, and it will not be difficult to transport the copper ore back. ”

Alan: "That's possible. It's just that the boat shouldn't be enough, and you need a boat to go to Wilderness City and Qingyan City, and Gray Mountain. This year I made another boat, and I was still a little nervous. ”

"If there are not enough boats, we will build them, and we will only leave next year. From now on, it should be no problem to let the carpenter work overtime and build another ship. ”

Shipbuilding is really no problem, everyone agrees.

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Leng Fang said: "The population of Mingwan Village is several times that of us, and there are many people, are they willing to sell us the ore and live in peace with us?" ”

Although Sun City now belongs to the alliance and is not alone, Wilderness City and Qingyan City are far away and are not yet on the right track, in case Mingwan Village is bullying and covets Sun City, they will not be able to help.

Lin Yan shook his head and said, "Don't worry too much about this, there is no boat in Mingwan Village, and we can't do it if we want to fight." They lived in poverty, and they needed us at a time. ”

"They're still worried about what they can eat, and we can get copper as long as we get it. Although there are many people in Mingwan Village, there is still a gap in strength compared to us. I heard that the military department has expanded, how many people are there now? ”

A Lan said: "The military department has recruited 500 people this year, and each sent 50 people to Yuanye City and Qingyan City to form new teams for training in the two cities, which can also be regarded as a detachment of the military department. ”

"It's good, each city has its own army, so it can protect its people."

After the arbitral tribunal learned about some changes this year, Lin Yan reported in detail the situation of going out, focusing on Ape Da and Ape Er.

They are indeed too edible, and the concern of the bonus is right, if you rely on your own home, you will be eaten in less than half a month.

Ah Lan said curiously: "Ape and Ape Er, we haven't seen each other yet, do you really understand human nature?" ”

"They're so smart, they've learned simple words along the way, and there's no big problem in communicating. Ah Lan, they don't want to go, no one can do it, they have to rely on everyone to raise them together. ”

Ah Lan looked around, "What do you all think, you want to use the taxes of Sun City to raise Ape Yamato Ape Er, everyone has a statement?" ”

Seeing that everyone was silent, Lin Yan made persistent efforts: "Ape Da and Ape Er are really not something that a family or two can afford, in addition to being able to eat, they are very good at fighting, and most of the fierce beasts outside are afraid of them." I can take them hunting and try to make Ape Biga and Saruji self-sufficient. ”

"We don't know the situation yet, and we will make a decision after meeting Sarudai and Saruji. Lin Yan, you bring them. ”

In order to solve the problem of Ape Da and Ape Er's food, Lin Yan had to go home, so he could talk about it and get the sunbathing Ape Da and Ape Er to the arbitration tribunal.

Their tall, mighty, and fierce appearance attracted everyone's attention along the way.

The first reaction of many people when they saw it was that the beast entered the city and was going to take the guy to fight. Lin Yan hurriedly accompanied the smiling face and explained with good words.

When he arrived at the arbitration tribunal, Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief. It's really not easy, I came back late yesterday, and Saruda and Saruji didn't cause a sensation, and I still can't hide today.

When Ah Lan and the others saw Ape Da and Ape Er for the first time, their fear and defense were very obvious.

It took Lin Yan a lot of words to dispel their fears, and let people bring Lan Xing to talk about the performance of Ape Da and Ape Er on the road.

Finally solved the food of Ape Da and Ape Er, and Lin Yan came to the laboratory.

As soon as he entered the door, no one saw him, so Lin Yan went to find Ye Cong.

"What are you busy with, I didn't see you when I came back?"

Looking up in a hurry and seeing that it was Lin Yan, Ye Cong put down the things in his hand and said with a smile: "Lin Yan, you are finally back, did the journey go well?" ”

"You're not going to know I'm back now, are you?"

"If I hadn't seen you in person, I wouldn't have known you were back. I've been busy in the lab lately, and I haven't been home. Lin Yan, you must not have imagined what we found. ”

"What is it that makes you so addicted?"

Lin Yan was really curious, since he came back to the present, he didn't see anyone in the laboratory.

"Haha, there's a new discovery on the side of Gray Mountain. Not long after you left, Ash Mountain sent some silvery-white stones, and a few of us thought of silver ore at first sight, and after testing, it was confirmed that it was silver mine. We went to Ash Mountain to see that it was indeed a silver mine, and the reserves could not be proven. There is natural silver, but also silver-gold ore and other silver compounds. Ever since the discovery of the silver deposit, we have been busy separating and purifying more of the substance. ”

Lin Yan was really shocked, and felt an auditory hallucination, "What you said is true?" ”

Ye Cong nodded affirmatively, "It's all true, how dare I lie to you about such a big thing." You see, these are rough stones brought back from the silver mines. ”

Seeing a large pile of ores of various colors, Lin Yan finally had a real feeling, "No, such a big matter, I just was in the arbitration tribunal, why didn't anyone mention it." ”

"There are not many people who know, Ah Lan asked to keep it secret, let's study it first, and then decide how to mine silver ore when you come back."

After carefully touching all the ores and seeing the results given by the Science and Technology Museum, Lin Yan became more and more unsettled. This silver mine is a real treasure, not only natural silver, but also several silver compounds, which are important raw materials for refining silver.

The silver-gold ore in it can not only smelt silver, but also get gold, which is too rare. There is also silver pyroxene sulfide, and with these things, a lot of chemical tests can be done.

These are all important raw materials for purifying materials and making synthetic materials, and there will be a huge breakthrough in chemical development. What a joy fell from the sky.
