Chapter 160: Existence in the Belly of the Mountain

In the valley where the Liucuishan Iron Mine is located, there is a lot of hard and solid land that has been trampled on, and even weeds are difficult to grow.

Not far from inside, there were rows of wooden buildings, and there were no fences or anything like that.

Most of the prisoners here are Gu people, who will be released early after digging for a few years, and usually no one escapes, and the guards are not strict.

Ren Baqian has been here for two days, and every day he uses a piece of cloth as a mask around his face and walks around.

The dust in the valley was so great that it was all drifting from the mines, and when you slept, you would find that it was all around you.

This iron ore ore is of average quality, but it is easy to mine, and it is the highest iron ore produced by Dayao at present. Although it is not much compared to the iron ore of the earth.

Ren Baqian has been thinking about how to make the transportation in and out easier for the past two days.

As long as the materials and the outward transportation of ore can keep up, the increase in the output of this iron ore can be achieved several times or more.

The valley is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, and one of them is the narrow path through which ore is transported and supplies are brought in.

On the other side is a deep mountain stream with a stream below, but some distance further into the ground.

As for the other two sides, they both lead to the inside of the 60,000 mountains, and it is not easy to get in and out of the road, so it is not realistic to open the way out from this side.

Ren Baqian initially considered lifting it by cable, but if Da Yao had the steel to make cables, he would have invested in building weapons a long time ago.

Moreover, the materials needed for the cable are the output that Dayao can only have in a few years. And the support needed for the cable is also difficult to build in this world.

As for the rope, don't think about it, it wears out too quickly, and it is simply not realistic to use it to lift ore.

In addition, Ren Baqian also considered hot air balloons, but considering the difficulty of making hot air balloons, as well as the fuel required, I am afraid that the transportation speed of three or two hot air balloons will not be much faster than the current method of using human backs.

Not to mention the air flow here in the valley, hot air balloons were not originally used as a means of transportation.

In fact, I am afraid that only the possibility of opening a tunnel is relatively large.

"Have you ever thought about opening a hole in this mountain that leads directly to the opposite side," Ren Baqian asked, pointing to the mountain in front of him and facing Tao Jiyuan.

"Shhhhhhhh Tao Jiyuan said a little nervously.

"How" Ren Baqian was surprised.

"It is said that there is a being in the belly of this mountain that I don't know what kind of being. In the past, Haoguo also wanted to dig through this mountain, but every time it only dug a few dozen zhang, it would collapse. A total of three times were dug, and the third time angered the existence inside the mountain, not only the miners died, but even the two thousand troops outside were killed, and not a single one survived. Since then, Hao Guo has never thought about digging up the mountain. ”

Ren Baqian looked at Tao Jiyuan suspiciously, so terrifying

"How many years has this been, it's really fake," Ren Baqian was a little incredulous.

"It's been a hundred years, but no one dares to move this mountain. Tao Jiyuan smiled bitterly.

Ren Baqian thinks about the unicorn he has seen, this world is too different from the earth, and there are too many unknowns, Tao Jiyuan's words may not be true.

"The mountain road can be widened," put down the question first, and asked Ren Baqian again. Since you can't dig a tunnel, you can even widen the mountain road to three meters and pass through horned oxen or something.

Although this is also a huge project, iron ore is the foundation of a nation's construction, and it is not unacceptable to spend more money.

What's more, you can get explosives and the like to blow up the rocks on the mountain wall directly.

Tao Jiyuan's face became a little strange: "This mountain road can only be so wide, how much you dig on the mountain, how much the mountain road will collapse, it has always been so wide." ”

Ren Baqian looked up at the mountain in front of him, so he couldn't do anything.

You can't touch it, you're touching porcelain here

What the hell is in this mountain?

If I have the chance, I'd like to dig it up.

But the thought was just a thought. Ren Baqian is not a person who likes to take risks and die.

"In that case, we're useless here, let's leave tomorrow. Ren Baqian sighed.

"This official is just accompanying Lord Ren to take a look this time. Tao Jiyuan laughed. If it weren't for Ren Baqian coming to see, he wouldn't have come here.

"It's okay to mine here," Ren Baqian asked again.

"In this mining, I don't care about what's in there. Tao Jiyuan said directly. "I still don't like it here, though. ”

Ren Baqian nodded, and his heart was furious when he heard what he said.

Anyway, there is already a plan for Damo Mountain, where the transportation is convenient in all aspects, as long as the iron mountain can be melted with a solar furnace, it must be possible to obtain enough iron ore in a short time, and the purpose of his coming out this time is to achieve.

These six green mountains, or have a chance to explore them again in the future.

The two stood there and watched for a while, and Ren Baqian planned to go back and set off after resting for the night.

On the way back, I saw that the defenders here pulled two curved oxen in the direction of the 60,000 mountain and walked all the way up the mountain.

In the two days here, Ren Baqian had seen them kill cattle several times, and none of them had been taken so far away, so he wondered in his heart: "What is this to do?"

Tao Jiyuan thought for a moment, and then called a guard to ask.

"The wings are going down the mountain, this is for him, and after eating these two cows, he will not come down to eat anything else. The guard said to the two.

"What is the wing" Ren Baqian asked curiously, in his impression, the ancient people would pick up a knife and cut everything they saw, when had there ever been such a tribute.

Tao Jiyuan showed a sudden look: "It turned out to be a wing." “

Then he turned his head to Ren Baqian and said: "A fierce beast in the 60,000 mountains, it looks like a mountain rat, has wings, and can run and fly. And it is as fast as lightning, even an experienced old hunter in the mountains will find it extremely difficult to kill it, but it will find an opportunity to sneak attack. ”

"Your Excellency is right, the wings come down twice a year in spring and autumn, and if they can't find anything to eat, they will attack the other cattle here, and they will bite all the cattle to death. If it hits it, it will also look for an opportunity to retaliate, so every time it puts two cows directly on the mountain, it will not come down after eating. The guard said.

Ren Baqian thought it was a bat when he heard it at first, but when he heard it, he realized that it was not. It seems to be a creature unique to this world.

This vindictive personality is a bit like a weasel.

"Find a place to hide, can you see it" Ren Baqian said curiously, he was still a little interested in this strange animal in this world.

"It's better not to see adults, it is said that anyone who sees a winged person will encounter a disaster, which is extremely effective. ”

"Forget it. "Ren Baqian immediately followed the good flow.
