Chapter 167: The Great Ore Vein
Although Zhou Zhongmou was busy solving the problem of controlling the second-type magic machine, his real main attention was still on the little ball of the earth, speaking of which, this thing had not grown for so many years, and Zhou Zhongmou was almost desperate for when he would see this ball to make him go through it - fortunately, when he was summoned by Bo Fu to give him a job, he also learned that his lifespan would become quite long. Due to the stronger magic power and special rules on Remilet Island, the magic machine soldiers can only be regarded as a very powerful big toy, but Zhou Zhongmou knows that if they go to the continent where the magic concentration is low and the rules are different, the power of this magic machine soldier will increase considerably, and only on the mainland is this kind of weapon a terrifying weapon.
The kingdom of Novaya Zemlya is intensively exploring the veins of cinchite, which is quite recognizable, basically exposed on the surface, and I don't know if there is anything in the depths, but there are black delphinite embedded in the rocks along the exposed surface. The high-ranking alchemists of the Novalymly-Zemlya Kingdom who were in charge of the exploration were thrilled to see it, and the high-ranking bureaucrats of the internal affairs department of the kingdom on one side were also very happy, and in the future, relying on this vein alone, Novaya Zemlya could become a very important country, "The time has come to influence the situation of the entire continent by exporting rare ores!"
The veins stretched all the way, and finally on the outside of Dama Village, on the rock wall on the beach side, a rather large chaffinite block appeared. Experienced explorers assert that the vein that runs through the deep island is only a single branch. The main vein, which is extremely rich, should be on the other side of the sea - after all, there was no sea in the first place. It was a change in the terrain that tore the deep island apart from the island of Remiret. "Remiret, do you think there will be a lot of chaffinite there?" said the adjutant of the interior subconsciously. The old prospector on the side also muttered a reply: "Just look at the ore veins." The reservoirs of delphinia on the deep island are already in the tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of tons, and as for the ore on the island of Remiret? I think there are at least a few hundred million tons, right?"
But the invasion of Remiret is something that the current Novaya Zemlya kingdom cannot do at any time, and this time there is no calm sea and land bridge to send enough land warships and soldiers to send them to the huge island of unknown size. Moreover, the island's monsters, whether large or ferocious, are also formidable enemies, and as for the legendary Scourge level ancient dragons, no one on Novaya Zemlya dares to say that they are all legends. It seems that the most reliable thing at the moment is to take advantage of the unique advantage of Novaya Zemlya's proximity to Remiret, and use the method of entrepot trade to obtain sufficient benefits.
The Novaya Zemlya Kingdom had also thought about whether to secretly cover up the fact that the Deep Island and Remiret Island had rich delirium mines, but the Novaya Zemlya Kingdom definitely did not have the technical ability to copy and develop those new alchemy power furnaces, so it would be pointless to cover up the news. And if the kingdom has a large number of chaffinite that can be exported, then the status of the kingdom will become relatively independent. In any case, it is estimated that the most advanced technology will be obtained through the export cooperation of Guò in general land warship technology, and it is not impossible for the Principality of Belken to obtain the land warship technology of the new full-covered turret! Maybe even the technology of floating warships can be obtained from other countries through guò cooperation.
Moreover, what is there in this world that can be kept secret forever? Moreover, it is this precious ore that can affect the situation on the continent, the kingdom of Xin-Zemlya is not a powerful country, and no one in the whole country believes that it can keep this secret. Spreading the word earlier would have made it safer for them to make it safer - after all, who would have gone to great lengths to conquer Novaya Zemlya by conquest of the whole continent if they could spend money or technology to get this ore?
Therefore, not long after the exploration team returned from the deep island, the information that the deep island county of the Novaya Zemlya Kingdom had the only large vein of delirium on the mainland appeared on the desks of almost all the powerful countries on the mainland. And a place that was not paid much attention in the past, Remiret Island, has also appeared in the eyes of mainland countries. Before that, they knew that the kingdom of Novaya Zemlya had always wanted to conquer this new land, and it had suffered a great loss, and even the new and powerful species on that land had become some stories to spread among the people. If it weren't for the fact that the journey to Remiret was difficult and expensive, many people would want to venture there. But there are also people who take adventure for their lives. And now. The information obtained vaguely mentions the unprecedented reserves of delphinishes on the island of Remiret, which is of great interest to these countries. In addition to Belken, the Habsburg kingdom to which the defector had gone had already trialled a new type of alchemical power furnace that could work. Other countries are also tackling the problem, and they will definitely be able to break through the technical difficulties in the near future - they already have enough technology in stockpile, and the only thing they lack is a little spark.
The Duchy of Belken is the country that values this intelligence the most, their current new alchemy power furnace technology is at the forefront of the continent, and the most important thing to break through technology and build more and stronger floating warships is enough delphinium. According to the amount of swallowstone produced on the mainland in the past, a rich and advanced country like the Duchy of Belken can only maintain three or four floating warships with limited tonnage, and this number of floating warships of this tonnage is really just an ornamental fleet, and there is no enough deterrent power in reality at all. As for the number of other countries that can be kept, the Duchy of Belken has also estimated, and it is estimated that a country with a vast territory such as the Kingdom of Yuctobania can also keep about six floating warships of the same class, and as for the five countries that surrounded the Duchy of Belken, the most is two, and the less is only one possible holding. But now that the large production area of chaffinite has appeared, it means that the floating battleship has finally changed from a large toy for viewing to a weapon that can be put into practice.
Of course, intelligence belongs to intelligence, and the real reserves still need to be explored in person. However, the deep island is now under the strict protection of the Novaya Zemlya Kingdom, and although spies can infiltrate, the exploration team cannot enter to verify the information. But Remirete Island is a land that the Novaya Zemlya Kingdom cannot control at all, although Novaya Zemlya has a so-called Duke of Remiret, but everyone knows what is going on. And Remilet Island is not something that Novaya Zemlya can blockade.
All of a sudden, a large country with technology and capabilities, such as the Duchy of Belken, has modified some airships. While the cargo capacity was enlarged and the range was extended as much as possible, although at the cost of becoming slower than the horse-drawn carriage, these modified airships were sent out at the first time, and the course was the airship dock on the island of Remiret, which the spies could still gather, and even the route map could be obtained.
