Gavin walked all the way and counted, eighteen stanzas.

The steam railcars have a full eighteen cars, each with a standard carrying capacity of twenty tons.

This number was not calculated by Gavin himself, but was written in the runic script unique to dwarves on the carriage.

On this track, the cargo volume turned out to be the output of the rock Heijing iron mine in half a year.

The output of the Colossus iron ore at its peak can be imagined.

You know, they're only the first cave in this iron mine, and there are seven more caves waiting for them below.

Even if there are seven mines, there is nothing new, just copy this mine as it is, as long as all this place is put into operation, Gavin will become the largest steel tycoon in the whole of Pheren, and the output of one iron ore can be more than half of the total steel output of all the steel of Feron.

The reason why I didn't say all of it was because I left face to other dwarves, especially the Golden Dwarf Kingdom in the Great Rift Valley, where there are millions of golden dwarves, and maybe they have mining technology comparable to that of this place.

Sometimes, Gavin couldn't help but suspect that he had survived to a dog in his previous life, and he always felt that it was quite remarkable to be able to fight with a legendary warrior.

As a result, in this life, it took less than a year to open many things that were not opened in the previous life, and the things that I am exposed to now are not of the same grade at all.

There are fewer and fewer useful things that the legendary warrior can provide in that life, and the only thing left is the direction of future development, and it can only be that he has not been involved in the region and field, and where he is interfered with, this kind of prophetic foresight is not only not an advantage, but a disadvantage, and it is easy to mislead himself.

Soon Gavin didn't care about this emotion, and couldn't help but let out a surprise whisper, "It's really a high-pressure gas tank!" ”

There was still some distance from the front of the car, and Gavin noticed at a glance that it was a round steel tank that was larger than the two carriages combined.

The whole is round, there are no welding marks at all, as if it was directly poured, and there are a large number of huge valves and gate knives.

The dense dwarven runes were not engraved on it, but forged, indicating that it was not an ordinary item, but a giant magical item.

Once it becomes a magic item, some physical common sense does not apply to it, whether it is the safety factor or the amount of high-pressure steam that can be stored, it is estimated that it will exceed imagination, and the endurance and power will be greatly improved.

Gavin's hand lit up with a bright light, and he pressed it directly on the high-pressure gas tank, wanting to read its properties and intuitively understand its strength through identification.

Unfortunately, although the light of the identification technique was submerged in the high-pressure gas tank, there was no detailed data feedback.

It's not a cast failure, it's beyond identification.

The high-pressure steam tank is not a separate item, but a part of the rail car, and there is no way to identify it individually.

If you want to see what it can do, you can only wait until it is fully operational.

The wandering dwarf king Gilharin, who was following Gavin, opened his mouth several times, as if he wanted to discuss something with him.

Gavin didn't give him a chance at all, and while walking along the railroad tracks, he took the lead and said: "What's the matter, wait until we check everything here, and have a complete concept, we are just a peek at the leopard now, and what we see is only a very small part, and after discussing it for a long time, it turns out that there are better ones inside, isn't it a waste of time?" ”

"What the lord said makes a lot of sense." Giharin nodded involuntarily and said, "I'm ashamed to say that I've always been proud of the semi-automated production of the Taysyama Mine, and I think that our technology in this area, if not the top of the dwarves, can rank in the top three, at least surpassing those ancient technologies."

Now it seems that it is pure arrogance, our technology is not advancing, but regressing, and what is shown now is far beyond the Tasyama mine at its peak, and we are afraid that we will have to learn a lot from here. ”

Compared to Gavin, the wandering dwarven king was more impressed by the ancient dwarven technology sealed in the mines of Colossus City, after all, he had the Tethyama mines in his memory as a comparison.

The whole person was once again enveloped in a sad atmosphere, only this time it was not just for the fall of the Taysyama mines, but also for the glory of the dwarves.

Compared with the thriving short-lived race of humans, whether it is giants, dragons, elves and dwarves, they are all going downhill.

Needless to say, the first two have long since withdrawn from the domination stage, leaving only the ancient echoes.

The splendor of the elves ended with their own crown wars, and in recent decades, due to the call of the souls of the island, most of the elves have chosen the Great Migration, going to the isolated elven holy land, leaving all of Feren to other races.

Although in recent years, many elves have chosen to return for various reasons, but the elves are not good at numbers, and their influence is not as good as before, and it is very reluctant to stick to the forest where they are.

And the dwarves, especially the dwarves in the Northland, except for a newly recovered Mithril Hall, the most famous one is only afraid that he is the wandering dwarf king, and the rest are small clans that are not in the climate, either cowering in their own small mines, or sending people under the fence, as vassals of human forces.

Now that the ancient dwarven ruins have been reactivated, it's a pity that this glory doesn't belong to them.

"The patriarch said this, and then restart this place, there are still many places to rely on the Iron Clan, you can't let me use those kobolds to operate these complex dwarven equipment, right?"

Gavin had already made his own little calculations in his heart, "You have also seen the situation of the silver smelting line in South Clapput, it is a hundred times more complicated here than there, I don't want a small explosion here in three days, and a big explosion in ten days."

The number of gray dwarves in the Colossus dungeon is limited, and once the entire mining area is fully operational, just one dungeon is enough for them to keep them busy, and it is difficult to draw more people.

When the time comes, I will have to count on you, the patriarch, to be able to fully understand the technology here and fully operation. ”

The dwarven legacy is also run by the dwarves, who have an advantage in terms of mindset and technology.

And the Iron Clan is not only the only dwarven clan that Gavin knows well, but the two sides also have the same interests.

Before the restoration of the kingdom of Tasyama, they were still in a state of exile, and there was no territory of their own.

The True Shield Trading Company that Gavin had visited earlier was only the core station they had leased to the Cormier Kingdom, and there were less than a hundred dwarves stationed there, and the Cormier Kingdom would not be happy with it.

Most of the dwarves of the Iron Clan, in the form of families, are scattered all over Faerun.

Loyalty, cohesion, a series of things, many times, are built on the basis of living together.

The time of exile of the dwarves in the Taysyama Kingdom, even for the dwarves, is too long, many of the older generation of dwarves who have lived in the Taysyama mines are gradually aging, and even dying, and those dwarves born in exile do not have as much nostalgia and identification with their homeland as their fathers.

When the older generation of the Tayyamar Kingdom led by Jiharim is completely dead, the restoration of the Tayyama Kingdom will really be just a dream, and it is also the dream of the Tiharim branch, and the other dwarves will gradually take root in the new land and leave this dream behind, just like their ancestors threw the Shanata Kingdom into the historical ruins.

But before that, there is a place that can accommodate all the dwarves of the Iron Clan, especially the mines, and gather all the dwarves to work together, live together, and train together.

Not only will this belief be easier to pass on, but it will also play a greater role in promoting the restoration of the country, at least they know exactly how many dwarves are willing to fight to reclaim their former homeland.

Moreover, the news of the resumption of the Supreme Shanata will have a great temptation for the shield dwarves scattered in the Northland, and if you can take the opportunity to invite them, it will be a help to the Iron Clan.

Gavin could think of something that a bystander could think of, how could the wandering dwarf king Giharin not think of it.

After listening to Gavin's promise, which was not a promise, Jiharin kept rubbing his gray beard and said: "With the words of the lord, I am relieved, go, let's go, let's continue to see what the dwarf ancestors of the Supreme Shanata have left behind for future generations." ”

In the next exploration, this wandering dwarf king is even more attentive than Gavin, because this iron mine is likely to be handed over to them for operation, so naturally they must fully understand.

They are like the treasure hunters who explore the treasure field, and every fork in the mine, every mine cave, will go in and walk around to make sure nothing is missed.

Although the forks in the road are of different depths, they are all mine caves, and there are more or less stone thorns that have just awakened from the seal, and even without the supervision of the dwarves, they are working very hard and consciously to open the mines.

For them, mining is not a kind of work, but an innate instinct, a way for them to grow, and the greatest meaning of survival.

If they are simply mining, they do not need to be supervised.

But if you want them to blast with kobolds' fluttering bombs to specialize in shattering, or if you want to maximize their production capacity, you need the dwarves to coordinate and deploy.

After all, the intelligence of these elemental creatures is not high, especially those medium-sized stone thorns, whose intelligence is only four or five points, which is typically a little stronger than that of beasts, and kobolds can't compare to them, and they can't understand even slightly complicated things.

However, there is no need to do this in a short period of time, because the number of stone spines here is terrifying, and all the way down, this mine alone has more than a hundred, super large can account for 10%, large can account for 3 out of ten, and the rest are medium-sized.

By hammering them day and night, the ore mined is not a small amount, and further increasing production capacity is carried out on the basis of digesting their output.

If there is a mountain of iron ore in the mine, and they are still trying to increase the speed of mining, then there is a problem in the brain, unless they want to sell iron ore directly.

This is definitely no longer Gavin's first choice.

These stone thorns can be deployed in other mines, such as the Black Well Iron Mine, to speed up the mining there, which is a good choice.

Even if there is a large amount of steel output here in the future, it does not mean that the iron ore there will stop, but it is possible to continue to sell iron ore, but it is no longer purely for profit, but to revitalize the surrounding economy.

The steel positioning of Colossus City is mainly for its own use in the future, and a small amount is used to make equipment for sale for profit, this kind of ultra-modern existence from iron ore to steel or equipment has a role in promoting the local economy, and it is not even as big as an ordinary iron mine like a black well.

Because there are no jobs that would have required a lot of labor.

In the end, it was just a lonely city with a lot of wealth, which was the real reason for the fall of the city, and it had no mass base.

This city, which only needs 8,000 dwarves to fully function, can feed at least a million people if it is replaced by ordinary production methods, which is only a lot more.

Of course, this has something to do with the fact that the dwarves were not good at using their own advantages, as evidenced by the fact that they used the remaining steel as load-bearing columns.

And that's what Gavin does best, and he has a lot of things to use to amplify the wealth he can create.

Infrastructure, equipment forging, some more modern equipment.

All of them can use a lot of steel, if the real steel is too much to consume, it is a big deal to build a bunch of ironclad ships or steel warships, crisscross the endless sea, completely conquer those pirates who dare not say it, and can definitely fight them, and open up relatively safe sea routes.

Anything hoarded is the most worthless, only circulation and use, in order to create more new value, steel is the same, wealth is the same.

Gavin has a habit of hoarding things, but his kind of hoarding is a planned reserve, in case it is needed, more about the pursuit of variety than quantity, and then let them create greater value at key points, not just hoarding for the sake of hoarding, the nature is different.

At the end of the track is another steel warehouse of astonishing size, which is a mountain of iron ore crushed to the size of an adult's head, the exact amount of which cannot be estimated, but there are hundreds of tons.

Obviously, after the connection between the mining area and the underground smelting area was severed, the vein sealing technique was used for a period of time before the ore vein sealing technique was cast, so a pile of raw ore was accumulated.

In this raw ore warehouse, Gavin and the others found another stunningly sized, steampunk-style device - an ore conveyor belt that was diagonally downward.

Driven by high-pressure steam, this conveyor belt transports the ore to the Colossus Dungeon for smelting, and possibly even for initial screening and further crushing.

After a series of shocks in front, when facing this conveyor belt, everyone was a little numb, and even a little taken for granted.

If not, it will be extremely unharmonious, and it will not match the previous ultra-modern mining and transportation.

But if there is a link missing, their production speed will be greatly reduced.

There are also a large number of giant-sized mining tools abandoned here.

Gavin faces a huge problem in trying to get this ultra-modern industry up and running.

Because those giant slaves are an important part of this industrial chain.

Whether it's loading the ore from the crushing stone spikes, or sending the ore here to the iron ore conveyor belt, the main force is the giant slaves, especially the former.

Without them, the whole operation would be extremely fluid.

Gavin could replace some of them with the Enlightenment Trees and Treants, but he couldn't make up the gap.

They are only visiting the first layer, and there are three more such layers.

The second, third and fourth layers all belong to the vein layer, although there are great differences in the distribution of the ore caves, but in the overall layout, they are the same.

It is all run through by a huge ore transport track, and then consists of a number of ore holes of different sizes, most of which are parallel, and a small part is oblique up or down, completely according to the distribution of iron ore, but when the hole is pierced, walk along the ore transport track.

Even for the dwarves of the Supreme Shanata, building such a track, building a railcar, is a big undertaking that must be put to good use.

The number of spurs distributed in the four mines is about the same, indicating that the four mines, at their peak, were about the same in production.

It is worth mentioning that these four mining areas are not stacked on top of each other, but belong to different directions, one in the southeast, one in the northwest.

This is done in order to reduce the pressure on the pit and prevent one from having a risk such as a large-scale collapse, which could affect the other three.

Zalanda, who had been following the team, suddenly asked a question: "Since this place is still in operation on the eve of the Ore Vein Sealing Technique, where are the giant slaves who maintain this place?" ”

As soon as this question was raised, it lingered in everyone's minds.

yes, where are those giant slaves?

Could it be that when the dwarves moved out of this place, they took the giant slaves with them?

Judging from the size of the four mines they had visited earlier, the number of giant slaves here was not a small number, if not a thousand, but eight hundred.

It's one thing to trap these giant slaves in a mine, it's another thing to take them to the surface to be enslaved.

As a transcendent race, giants have transcendent life dice when they become adults, and as long as there is a chance to resist, they will never let go.

This question, they found the answer on the fifth layer.
