Chapter 59: Catching the Train of Development
Seven days were quickly spent in the sweat of the bear warriors.
During this period, there were also several great good things that emerged in Guangmingye.
The first thing was that when the disciples of the Weishui Sword House were recasting the obsidian broadsword used by the bears to cut wood, they accidentally used the wrong mold and accidentally cast a large number of heavy swords the size of a door panel.
The big sword has become a heavy sword, and then returning to the furnace to rebuild it will consume the already tense materials, and the disciples of Weishui Sword Lu have no choice but to die as a live horse doctor, and let the bears try to see if the heavy sword can be used improvised, and the response is unexpectedly good.
This heavy sword, known as the "door panel", fits perfectly with the muscular bears all over their bodies, and can be used as a shield whether they are carried behind their backs or in their hands.
Weishui Jianlu specially improved the hilt for the "door panel" for this purpose, lengthened and thickened, and the improved heavy sword was full of a rugged beauty, which was intimidating at first sight.
Chang Hao will also smile when he sees the heavy sword on the door panel, he has already learned all kinds of advanced swordsmanship and routines from his grandfather, including the way to control the heavy sword. Now he can equip these door panels with the bears warriors, and at the same time teach the bears the skills of using the heavy sword in training, not to learn many advanced skills, as long as they can master a little fur, it is enough to make them invincible.
The second thing is that the geological exploration led by the Xinggong Chenyi Society has made a major breakthrough, in addition to collecting all kinds of ores that are perfect enough for the main hall, the most important thing is to find a coal mine and iron ore under the Guangming Field.
Guangmingye's discovery of coal mines was inevitable in Ling Xingyi's eyes.
Many people don't know that coal is actually an energy mineral formed by the branches, leaves and rhizomes of plants millions of years ago through the movement of the earth's crust deep into the ground, and then through high temperature and high pressure. The vegetation south of Guangmingye is dense, and it is not difficult to speculate that there must be abundant coal resources buried underneath.
Compared with the exploration of coal mines, the discovery of iron ore veins is purely accidental.
Originally, the vegetation of the land with more iron elements was relatively scarce, but this iron ore vein happened to be buried deep under a swamp in the Guangming Field, and Ling Xingyi was able to detect it by chance because they needed to replenish fresh water.
With the other forces of the Orc Kingdom, it would be difficult to mine these iron ores, but this was just a gesture for the Xinggong Chenyi Society. With the blessing of the mysterious Kyushu Immortal Law, the iron ore was quickly mined.
This iron ore vein produces common hematite, but the quality of these hematites made Ling Xingyi who was present happy. Hematite has an iron content of up to 70% and is of the highest quality, and can be used to forge sophisticated weapons and armor. But the iron content of these hematites in his hands is as high as 80%, and the texture is pure and there are few impurities.
This is simply the raw material that the disciples of Weishui Sword House dream of!
You must know that the pig iron armor seized from the Gangduo robbers before the Weishui Sword House was reforged, the iron content of those pig iron was all below 50%, and there were more impurities than iron.
Ling Xingyi could foresee that Yan Qi would wake up with a smile when he saw these iron ores in his dreams.
The only thing that made Ling Xingyi a little disappointed was that the storage capacity of this vein was not very high, and it could only be mined for about a year if it was fully exploited, and it was roughly estimated that it could only enrich the existing armament and infrastructure consumption of Guangming Ye.
However, the end of the vein seems to extend to the northwest of the Bright Field, and according to the senior brother, there are towering Temudar Snow Mountains and iron hills where the dwarves gather, and there may be more ore veins over there, but that is what the senior brother should worry about.
In addition, Chang Ge and Emilia also received good news.
Bright Wild has officially announced the entry into the steam era!
Except for Chang Hao, it is difficult for everyone else to describe the mood and shock of seeing the steam engine for the first time, it is like a steel monster with white smoke above its head and roaring.
The reappearance of modern human science and technology in Middle-earth, Chang Hao couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
It is conceivable that for a period of time in the future, Admiral Guangguang Ye will always sound the whistle, and the mining of ore will no longer require panda people to carry bamboo baskets back and forth again and again, and only a small train and railway will be needed to easily solve the problem of labor.
Industrial development is not just talk on paper, not two design drawings can make what you want, behind this is a complete set of industrial system.
Fortunately, Chang Hao has a younger sister who is proficient in this area.
She is the absolute core of Guangmingye's future industrial system.
In the eyes of outsiders, she may just be a beautiful girl, but in fact, her small brain is full of knowledge reserves that can shake the entire Middle-earth continent. Whoever dares to underestimate her will pay the price for his arrogance and ignorance in the future.
With the technical support of modern science and technology, the basic work such as smelting coal and iron ore no longer needs to bother the disciples of Weishui Jianlu, who are high-level technicians, and only some trained vassals can be qualified for this job, so that the disciples of Weishui Jianlu can be liberated from heavy work and cooperate with Chang Ge and Emilia to study more important modern technology.
When they were told that this steel monster was actually a production tool, everyone circled around the steam engine, the women and children felt it was a novelty, the orc warriors privately felt that Miss Chang and Miss Emilia were worthy of being women who could follow the boss, and the disciples of the three sects of immortal cultivation looked at this steam engine and fell into deep thought.
They all clearly remember the days on the flying boat in the sea of clouds, Chang Ge and Emilia imparted modern knowledge to them every day, and now that they finally saw the real thing, many people had a glimmer of inspiration in their hearts.
The door of the times is slowly opening to them.
One evening, the soldiers on the guard tower blew their horns, and the baggage team that had gone to the city of Kotaav to buy supplies went home in the twilight.
"Wori!"
These were the first words Panta had said to Herbert after seven days.
"Why did you get stronger when you went to Kotave City?" Panta circled around Herbert several times in confusion, and whispered, "Have you taken drugs?"
After messing around with the boss for a long time, some fashionable words popped out of Panta's mouth from time to time.
"it! This is the result of the boss's special training for us!" Herbert bit a cigar and showed off his unrestrained muscles like a bodybuilding instructor.
Panta the Panda Man is an authentic orc, strong muscles are the label of orc bravery, no orc will refuse this perfect body engraved with the word "violence" from the inside out, just like the gene of advocating force has been flowing in their blood for thousands of years.
Looking at the macho appearance of more than 100 bear men under Herbert, and hearing the fruitful "devil training", Panta suffered from pink eye.
"Boss! We panda people also want to apply for special training!" Panta immediately found Chang Hao, who was meditating and absorbing spiritual power.
"Don't worry, even if you don't want to train, I'll force you to train. The reason why I have to divide you into two groups of training is because you can't let the defensive forces of Guangguang Ye sleep like dead pigs every day. ”
Chang Hao withdrew from his cultivation state and threw a box of cigars for the commanders of the army towards Panta, these rare things he had taken from the Lonia City Defense Army along with a large number of military supplies. Although he himself does not touch cigarettes, he can give rewards to those below. You must know that cigars are not cheap in the market, and a box can be worth hundreds of gold coins.
Panta took the cigar with a smile, he knew that this was a rare commodity, he had only seen military commanders and nobles smoking cigars before, but he didn't expect that he could enjoy this kind of high-end goods now, and sure enough, it was promising to follow the boss!
"I don't care if you smoke it yourself or treat the brothers below, but you are never allowed to smoke it in front of women and children, and if I know it, I don't guarantee that you will be able to have a cigar finger in the future. Chang Hao, who has been away from modern civilization for a long time, seems to have broken free from some kind of shackles, and is full of aura when he issues hard rules.
His idea is actually very simple, these bears and panda people are the first to follow him, and Guangye will also absorb more and more fresh blood in the future, and they will use these seniors as models to learn and even imitate their every move. He had to build a disciplined team and set a good example for those who came after him.
The orcs are wild and untamable, but don't forget that although he is a human body, he has the blood of the dragon supreme in his body. His words represent a certain supreme will.
Panta felt that for a moment, he vaguely saw the phantom of the golden dragon head entrenched behind the boss, he was cold, but this feeling came and went quickly, he quickly nodded, and took the boss's warning to heart.
"Boss, I have an important thing to report. Panta's face became serious.
"You say. Chang Hao motioned for Panta to come with one, and his fingertips jumped with pure fire spiritual power, and Panta hurriedly pouted his ass and leaned in to light the cigar.
"We encountered a few attacks on the way back, and because of the leather armor and the triangular whale hunting gun, the battle ended quickly, and none of the baggage and team members were damaged. We grabbed a few captives and pried open their mouths, and sure enough, they were all minions of the troll tribe! They also threatened to let us get out of the Bright Wild in the next few days!"
Panta also learned about the trolls' misdeeds in the city, robbing caravans and raiding baggage, and doing almost all the bad things they could do.
"A bunch of trolls, quite ambitious. Chang Hao looked up at the moon in the night sky, which was almost completely covered by dark clouds, and said to himself: "There will be a rainstorm tonight, if I were the troll leader, I would not miss this opportunity." ”
Panta suddenly changed color, and a big gasp of cold air suddenly took most of the cigar he had just lit, "Boss, I'm going to inform Herbert and the monk brothers now, so that they can get ready for battle tonight!"
Chang Hao nodded, and Pantalei rushed out of the hall resolutely, and soon a symphony of bears' roars and the sound of weapons and iron sounded outside, and everyone was fully prepared for the possible encounter tonight.
If the Troll Tribe really came to attack tonight as the boss said, then this would be the first battle in the true sense of the word since the establishment of their Bright Field!
They must not lose this battle!
