The colorful birds on the surface of the lake are very colorful and colorful in the sunlight from a distance.

A closer look reveals that each colorful bird is not small, larger than the domestic white goose.

These colorful birds are not afraid of people, they play on the lake not far in front of them, and their colorful wings sometimes stretch and sometimes retract. Against the blue background, it is even more dazzling.

Lin Yan couldn't help but sigh: "These birds are so beautiful, I don't know if I can catch one and take a closer look." ”

Huoyang thought the same, "You guys sit, I'll catch it." ”

Lu Yu grabbed Huoyang, who was leaving, and said eagerly: "Don't go." Can't afford to mess with. ”

"Oh, how do you say?" As soon as Lin Yan saw Lu Yu's appearance, he knew that things were not simple.

Lu Yu said lightly: "Do you think no one thinks so?" People have curiosity to see such a beautiful bird who doesn't want to catch one and bring it back. As a result, no one succeeded, but was seriously injured. ”

Huo Yang is not a very impulsive person, so he sat down with Lu Yu's strength, "Tell me quickly, what the hell is going on?" ”

"These birds don't look fierce, and they don't fear people approaching. But when a person reaches out to grab it, it will show sharp claws, and anyone who is caught will be seriously injured. Not only that, but if they are hostile to them, they will attack together. You don't want to see that. ”

Lin Yan asked curiously: "More fierce than the wild big white goose?" ”

Lu Yu nodded affirmatively, "I have seen with my own eyes the people who were injured by them, they were covered in wounds, and their bones were visible. Colorful birds have wings and are extremely fast, and it is not easy to escape. ”

"It's too dangerous, let's see." Lin Yan is very knowledgeable about current affairs, and it is not cost-effective to get hurt for a bird.

The three of them walked around the Blue Lagoon to make sure that there were no other animals on the side, and this was the territory of the colorful birds, and they didn't dare to provoke it.

In the afternoon of the next day, they went to the coal mine, which was located deep in the mountains, and the village of Daban was even deeper.

There was no special renovation here, only a row of simple houses was built for the miners.

The conditions are very simple, digging coal is hard work, and the people who can come here are here to survive. Basically, they are all people from Daban Village and Mingcheng.

Fortunately, the alliance sent people to directly manage it here, and they are well fed, otherwise these people are even more pitiful.

The person in charge of the coal mine was An Cheng, and when he saw Lin Yan, he looked at it for a while before he was sure that it was a real person, and immediately warmly entertained them.

Seeing his enthusiasm, Lu Yu hurriedly grabbed people, and he was about to pounce on Lin Yan. A strong man of 1.9 meters is too spicy for a slender girl.

"An Cheng, just speak, don't stick to people. You see that Lin Yan is scared, she is still a little girl, you are not good like this. ”

Huoyang also said: "People are right in front of you, and you can't run, what are you anxious about." ”

An Cheng said indifferently: "Can I not be in a hurry, I can't see Lin Yan once a year, and I can't compare with you." Lin Yan is such a powerful person, right in front of me, I just want to talk to her. ”

"It's not good to know that you like her, but to be too enthusiastic. The people over there who didn't look at it all looked over there and pointed at you. Lu Yu pointed to the person transporting coal on the side and said.

Ancheng: "What do they do?" Okay, you two get out of the way, I have something to say to Lin Yan. ”

Seeing that he didn't seem to be cheating, Lu Yu and Huoyang didn't stop him, and they kept an eye on him at any time to prevent him from pounce on Lin Yan.

Lin Yan looked at a few people with a smile, such scenes were often encountered, and she had long been used to them.

Ancheng: "A few days ago, the people from Daban Village brought back something, we don't know each other, Lin Yan, come and see, what is it." ”

Lu Yu hurriedly asked, "What does it look like?" ”

"Just look at it, it's over there, I'll take you there." An Cheng pointed to the house on the side, "That thing is the length of the valley near Daban Village, it is thicker than an arm, and it is more than two meters long. I heard that the people of Daban Village gnawed on that if they didn't have anything to eat. I looked like a bamboo pole, but it was solid, section by section, and the skin was purple. ”

As he spoke, An Cheng took out his things from the house, "This is it." When the people of Oita Village heard that we were looking for something new, they brought this over, and they called it Molar. ”

Lin Yan snatched it from An Cheng's hand and bit it down under the incredulous gaze of several people.

Huoyang: "Lin Yan, don't worry. Can you really eat it? ”

An Cheng didn't expect Lin Yan to be like this, he took this thing from it, and he hadn't tasted it, for fear that something would go wrong with Lin Yan's eating. hurriedly said: "Spit it out, the people in Daban Village said they could eat it, but I haven't seen anyone eat it with my own eyes." ”

Lin Yan smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, this thing can be eaten." ”

Hearing this, several people breathed a sigh of relief. Now that we know, it's nothing. As for why Lin Yan knew, they had long been surprised.

Huoyang went down a few times and cut it into several pieces, so that everyone could taste it.

Lin Yan smiled and said, "Sweet, we have discovered something very important again. Not only can it be eaten, but it can also be used in other places, and it has a wide range of uses. ”

Lu Yu: "What is this?" It's a taste that I've never tasted before, and it's very sweet. ”

Several people looked at Lin Yan, expecting her to give an answer.

"This is sugarcane, which has a high sugar content, can be eaten raw, can also be processed into white sugar, brown sugar, etc., can be used as a condiment, can also be made into a variety of candy, is an indispensable thing in daily life, children must like it."

It was another kind of food, and several people immediately became happy. Although they are not hungry now, they are very happy to find one more thing to eat.

Lin Yan didn't expect that when he first arrived at the coal mine, there would be such a big surprise. In the past few years, many new things have been found, but sugar cane has not been found.

There are some fruits that can be refined into sugar, but I haven't had time to make them. With sugar cane, sugar making can be put on the agenda.

The next day, Lin Yan personally went down to the coal mine to check the mining situation inside.

This coal mine is shallow in the surface, and it is not very difficult to dig. At present, it can be mined without digging deep into the mine, and there is no safety hazard.

An Cheng followed her, following in unison, "Don't worry, I promise to dig out more coal, it will be enough." Now I can mine thousands of catties a day, and if it's not enough, I'll recruit people again. ”

"Enough, enough." Lin Yan said busily, the Sun Alliance currently has a total of about 100,000 people, and the demand for coal is not large. When the research on the steam engine is more mature, ships and more machines can be built, and it will be too late to dig a large amount of coal.

An Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good to be enough." If there is anything else to change, you say, I will change it immediately. ”

"No, you're doing well, that's all." Lin Yan waved his hand hurriedly, he was too enthusiastic to resist, "I'm just here to take a turn and take a look, it's nothing." ”

"It's good that you're here, whether it's okay or not, I'm very welcome." An Cheng sincerely hoped that Lin Yan could stay for a few more days.

However, Lin Yan was about to go to Daban Village after staying in the coal mine for a day, and An Cheng insisted on following him, saying that he was leading the way for them.
