Chapter 972: Small Gem Mine

Zhou Ran planned to use this territory for a long time, and he didn't plan to give up until the Beacon Age, the ore here was too important.

Moreover, there are a large number of supporting coal mines behind the mountains, and as soon as the coal mines burn down, even the fuel problem that he was most worried about has been solved, and this place can quickly become a resource factory that melts a large amount of metal.

If two or three more assembly lines were set up here, wouldn't it be possible to frantically produce all kinds of weapons and equipment?

After that, a few more can be trained, more excellent rune masters or forgers, and the production on the assembly line is not only simple equipment and ordinary consumables, but also can create corresponding powerful weapons.

Weapons with runes attached, even if they have not been refined, cannot reach the level of magic weapons, but they are several times stronger than ordinary weapons, and the difference in quality is basically the difference between ordinary whiteboard equipment and blue sophisticated equipment.

If you use this kind of online game general expression, then in the Beacon Era, basically the general NPCs use tabula rasa equipment, only the kind of excellent disciples who are famous and upright, or the descendants of a strong party, use good green equipment.

As for the blue elite equipment, it must at least be the mainstay of the sect family, the closed disciple of a generation of elders, etc., to be able to obtain something of this level.

If Zhou Ran could batch every soldier under his command and replace them with blue sophisticated equipment, then he would be able to crush the vast majority of the territory in terms of equipment level alone.

In fact, there are really a few players in the previous life who have achieved this step, and if you want to do this, you must have several preconditions, first of all, you have to be a rune master yourself, or you have an excellent rune master under you with a fairly high loyalty.

You don't have to be a rune expert or even a master, but you have to be very proficient in basic runes.

After all, no one plans to use the assembly line to produce purple or even orange equipment, that kind of extremely high rarity thing, if you use the assembly line to produce, I am afraid that it will only take a day or two to make one, and the cost performance is too low.

As long as you have eaten all the basic runes, mastered them completely, closed your eyes, and been able to use 36 kinds of basic runes, and match 10 sets of good rune combinations, then it will be enough to produce blue sophisticated equipment.

If you talk about a high-level rune master, such as an expert or a master, then Zhou Ran is still far behind.

After all, if you want to reach a higher level of rune master, the most important thing is the power of the divine soul.

Zhou Ran's current strength of the divine soul is not worthy of his strong strength, if it weren't for the fact that a golden pill was integrated into his body, which was almost hard-working, and raised the quality of his divine soul, then he would be at most spiritual power now, and it would be impossible for him to transform his mind into a divine soul.

But if it is said that he has mastered 36 basic runes and completely integrated them, then Zhou Ran still has some hope, rune masters are very difficult to obtain, and Zhou Ran did not expect that he could obtain a rune master.

Retracting his somewhat divergent thoughts, Zhou Ran began to look at the situation of the territory again.

Now in the territory, the two main things are rivers and mountains.

The area occupied by the mountain peaks is about 80 units, the area occupied by the river is about 60 units, and the remaining 60 units are scattered and divided into the hilly terrain at the foot of the mountain and the plain terrain next to the river.

The hilly terrain was extensive, but it was not practical to use it for captivity or farming, so Zhou Ran simply planned to use it as the main urban location for building buildings, and the plains along the river for farming.

Don't look at the fact that there are only 30 units, which sounds like a bit little, but in fact, the cultivated area within the territory of Zhou Ran Hero Village, if you calculate carefully, excluding the old man's medicine garden, its area is only about 15 units, and it has doubled at the moment, not to mention anything else, at least it can ensure that the food in this territory is sufficient for a long time.

In this way, you can basically avoid the option of food with the resource you can choose, and at the most you can go to the river to catch river products.

"In terms of fuel, coal can be used, there are all kinds of metals in that mine, and there is even a stone mine not far away, and the problem of building materials has been solved."

Thinking of these, Zhou Ran began to browse the list of resources, some high-level resources, such as Deep Sea Dark Iron, Ancient Ice Crystals, Purgatory Fire Essence and the like, are all gray entries, indicating that they are not optional, but all of them that can be selected are some very basic content.

Just when Zhou Ran was worried, he suddenly saw an option that surprised him a little in the newly turned next page of the list.

[Small Gem Mine: Flood Resource.] Specify a mountain peak and create a cave on the surface of the mountain, and after following the cave, there will be a small ore vein with a certain chance of mining rough gemstones. Note that small gem mines have a very low chance of obtaining spirit stones when mining. 】

Gems or something, although it sounds quite valuable, but in the first year or two of the Beacon Age, compared to the gold and silver mines, they are far worse.

Even later, it was only more valuable in the middle and low-grade circles, and in the high-end circles, all that everyone used to exchange was cherished Gongfa pills, or weapons and equipment, and gems, which did not play a substantial role, were not as valuable as they were originally.

But gems are not valuable, spirit stones are different, as long as they can be used to assist in cultivation, they are very expensive, basically 90% of the immortal path lines are inseparable from the assistance of spirit stones, even if it is part of the Shinto and martial arts routes, sometimes you have to borrow the aura in the spirit stones.

Although it was said that there was already a hint that it was a very low probability to be able to obtain the spirit stone, Zhou Ran didn't care.

Under normal circumstances, the probability of obtaining spirit stones is too low, and the several high-level treasure chests that Zhou Ran had opened before, which were not limited by the era, added up to scattered, that is, he obtained three or four low-grade spirit stones.

This thing is barely used in the Beacon Fire Era, but when it comes to the Qi Cultivation Era, it is the most hip-pulling thing, and it can only be provided to monks in the Qi refining and foundation building periods, and if the monks of the Jindan Period use the lower grade spirit stone to cultivate, it is estimated that the speed of improvement is not even 5%.

Zhou Ran clicked on the sign in front of the small gem frame, and then continued to scroll down, and then he saw a small crystal vein and a small stalactite mine, both of which had the same hint as a small gem mine.
