Chapter 335 335 The Road Taken by Datang Group

The city of Eternal Winter was permanently sold to the Datang Group as a reward by the dwarves, and the northern ice-free port was repaid.

This port is a natural ice-free port, and it is considered the best port in the entire Dwarf Ice Kingdom.

Although they were a bit reluctant, in fact, according to the standards of the Datang Group, this might be the only ice-free port in the dwarves' icy kingdom that could be used directly.

Before the arrival of the workers of the Datang Group, the scale here seemed to be even smaller than the Osa military port ceded to the Datang Group by the elves.

In other words, comparing this place with Port Osa, which has begun to be completely remodeled by the Datang Group, is actually too big.

The annual throughput here is very limited, and this is an important criterion used by Datang Group to measure the usefulness of a port.

However, people from the Datang Group came. They came to this somewhat cold port and began to transform the port.

Countless machines were sent here, some delivered directly to the dwarves, others left in the harbor.

Compared with the slightly bleak past, here is now a thriving scene, and the local dwarves began to call this place "human gold mine".

Just get a job here, and these dwarves can earn money that they never imagined before.

Although these wages seem very low, the same level of quotations in Bunas can't recruit workers at all, but for the dwarves, the human beings give too much...

At the request of the dwarves, part of the salary can be paid directly with wine, so a large-scale winery was built together with the port.

The name of the new wine is Yongdong wine. Among the nonsense after the dwarves drank the wine, this kind of high-quality spirit was called "the wine from the winery in Yongdong". Later, it became more and more simplified. The name gradually became "Yongdong Family".

Then, I don't know when it started, and it became a common name like "vodka"... So, after hearing this name, Tang Mo felt that these dwarves with big beards were already turning into hair. On the road without looking back, I went far.

Of course, these dwarves are relatively normal now. They will come here in groups to pay tribute, receive wages, and then squander the silver coins they get in the bars in the port.

The strategic position of Neverwinter in Datang Group is even higher than that of Osa, because this port can be said to be one of the most important strategic nodes of Datang Group in the future.

Because of the cooperation with the dwarves, Datang Group owns countless mines and an oil field in the north.

These strategic materials, together with various other strategic materials purchased by the Datang Group from the dwarves, are almost all shipped here and transported to sea.

If something went wrong here, at least two-thirds of the gold mines, one-half of the copper mines, and one-quarter of the rare metals of the Datang Group could not be sent to Bunas and Long Island in time.

No matter which direction you look at, these losses are impossible for Datang Group to bear, so the construction here has naturally been raised to a very important height.

Datang Group has a Bunas-class warship cruising in the nearby sea all year round. At the same time, Datang Group also has a 500-member "foreign corps" stationed here for training.

This army is the army of the orc tribe. After the restoration of the Kingdom of Gales, they asked the Datang Group to help train their army.

Tang Mo was unwilling to let a large number of orc troops enter Burnas, so he threw them to Neverwinter City, where they received formal training.

This troop adopts a rotation system, and each troop is stationed here for 60 days. After learning some drill formations and the most basic tactical actions, they will change defenses.

On the one hand, the time is really tight, so it is impossible to teach too many things, on the other hand, the dwarves around do not have a good impression of these orcs.

In short, Eternal Winter City started its own road to rise amidst the busyness. The steel mills, railway stations, power stations, and other supporting facilities here, including the winery that is getting bigger and bigger, are gradually integrated into it. To the production cycle of Datang Group.

Every morning, sailboats here start to go out to sea one after another. These sailboats are loaded with iron ore that has not undergone any processing, or materials that have been roughly smelted into iron ingots and steel ingots. They sail out to sea and disappear on the sea level.

Every half an hour, one such ship leaves the port. This is simply a management miracle in Eternal Winter City, which has very backward supporting facilities.

Countless dwarves work here, including hired poor, and slaves bought from dwarf nobles, and of course, those prisoners who are temporarily pulled out from the prison to make up the count.

After all, Datang Group is giving money, so the dwarves will try their best to help Datang Group solve the manpower shortage problem.

Because everyone is in a cooperative relationship, and they trust each other very much, so the support provided by the dwarves is also very strong.

While fighting against the outside world, the dwarves gathered 20 people to build the railway between King City and Eternal Winter City despite the severe cold.

At the same time, another 5 people are building a huge military factory on the outskirts of the Dwarf King City. This military factory can produce various weapons including rifles and machine guns in the future.

And next to this military factory, there are still 3 people who are constantly building a car factory. Huge factories have sprung up one after another, which can be called a miracle in the frozen kingdom.

At the same time, outside Everwinter City, several large factories were also being built, including textile factories, generator factories, and a large chemical factory.

Although the two parties signed a contract, Datang Group sold almost all of its heavy industry technology to the dwarves, but there are other technologies in light industry, and Datang Group can produce and sell them in the Ice Cold Kingdom according to the contract.

Therefore, products such as medicines and fertilizers can actually be operated by Datang Group, and it is a franchise operation, which only needs to pay half of the tax.

No way, who made the Datang Group the most favorable partner of the Frozen Kingdom?This thing is similar to most-favored-nation treatment, but unfortunately it is unilateral.

In short, in Eternal Winter City, everything revolves around building a large enough port to ensure that gold, copper, iron, rare metals, oil and other materials can be continuously transported to Dragon Island here.

Early this morning, the dwarf sailors and some dwarf porters who were working on the pier couldn't help but put down their work.

They looked up one after another and saw a huge steel ship with a high freeboard, billowing black smoke, slowly leaning against the pier.

They had seen ships emitting black smoke before. The Burners-class ironclad ship that often came to the port to add coal was emitting black smoke when it started.

And the ship in front of him is obviously much bigger than that Bunas-class battleship!These sailors couldn't tell the difference between these giant steel ships.

So they were frightened, thinking that the Datang Group, which dominates the mountain here, has come up with a brand new warship.

However, they soon discovered that this ship was a transport ship, and it was a super-huge, one that could handle a fleet... a terrifying transport ship.

The crane that has just been built lifts the cars one by one, and then transfers and unloads them to the dock.

The whole morning, the crane was working non-stop, and even because of a mistake, it even smashed an expensive car to the ground and turned it into a pile of scrap metal.

Everyone was shocked, because they watched helplessly, this giant ship that came from a long way actually contained 100 cars in its belly!And looking at this posture, there are still many cars in the hull that have not been hoisted out!
This kind of loading and transportation volume is almost 20 times or even 50 times that of a sailboat!After all, sailboats are used to transport cars, and only five cars can be transported at a time.

Because the sailboat has a narrow skylight in the cargo warehouse, cars can hardly fit into the hull of the sailboat, so larger cargo can only be placed on the deck of the sailboat, which seriously affects the capacity of the sailboat.

"My God! This is too good to pretend!" A dwarf thought he hadn't sobered up after drinking too much, and kept rubbing his eyes.

He saw that after unloading 100 cars of various models, the crane began to hoist machine tools and equipment to the dock.

This time, the workers were more careful. Those leaders even clamored for a fine of 500 gold coins for breaking a piece of equipment!
Many robot dwarves have already seen it. Now the power plant outside the city and the telegraph office next to the power plant are full of these strange devices.

And relying on these rare equipment, Eternal Winter City can quickly contact the Ice King City, and even command the steel warships outside the port.

"Such a ship is almost equal to a fleet... No wonder, we were expanding the pier a month ago..." A dwarf nobleman looked at the free ship and said with emotion: "We thought before that it didn't need to be so big. What about the pier... It turns out that they prepared it for this guy!"

"It seems that the maritime trade will all belong to the Datang Group in the future." Another dwarf nobleman sighed. He is engaged in maritime trade, otherwise he would not be standing on the pier at this time.

"Hahaha!" The nobleman who spoke first looked up to the sky and laughed: "Don't worry, there must not be many such a big ship..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw another huge ship that was exactly the same on the sea in the distance, slowly approaching another pier...

"I'm X..." He couldn't help but swear, in his opinion, no matter how strong the Datang Group is, it wouldn't be possible to build so many giant ships with steel all at once.

The dwarf who was running the sea trade standing beside him shook his head: "Oh... you still haven't dealt with the people from the Datang Group... If they want to go that way, they will take all the people who go that way. People... were smashed to pieces..."
