Chapter 270 Entering the Mine

Outside the city, an exquisite carriage drove slowly towards the increasingly narrow road deep in the mountains and forests outside the city!

The exquisite wheels are engraved with complex patterns, and the badges and signs on the carriages are also extremely delicate.

The carriage curtains were made of gorgeous silk, inlaid with jewelry and embroidery patterns. Li Xier, dressed in plain clothes, looked at the flowers and trees close to the carriage on the road, feeling better.

He picked up a copy of "Mi Rucheng Collection" on the small table and read it carefully.

This book was written by a man named Mi Rucheng. It is a book on road construction and economy in Fenglan and surrounding countries.

As a prince, she couldn't help but be in awe. She usually focused on books about the country's economy.

"Junior Brother Hua, are you still angry?"

Feng Qingcheng carefully looked at the angry woman on the opposite side and asked tentatively.

"What? Senior brother, what are you talking about?"

With his big innocent eyes and a confused look on his face, he had completely forgotten what happened in the morning!
"Ugh...junior brother, your senior brother was beaten up, what do you want to do? Look, there is a big bump on the top of his head, and his back hurts very much!" Feng Qingcheng pointed to the bump on top of her head and supported it on her back. Look at her!

Li Xi'er sighed secretly, Damn it, how old is this majestic king?
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. How do I know what happened last night? Maybe I didn't tell you nonsense. He is your person and he is designated for you!"

As he followed outside the carriage, a gust of cold wind blew by.

These two people are half-hearted, pretending to be pigs and eating tigers. Miss Xi'er is still cheating. Why should he take the blame when she beats someone? It's not easy for him, a dignified five-foot man, to make irresponsible remarks.

"Okay, I lied to you, I don't have a bag, and my back doesn't hurt anymore!"

Instead he got angry.

Li Xi'er raised her eyebrows,
"Senior brother, are we going to the mine now?"

"Well, let's go find a master named Yang first. He knows and studies the situation in the mine and the ores in general!"

None of them have seen the tungsten ore that the junior brother mentioned with their own eyes. If they look for it themselves, they may not be right and they may not be able to find it!

Another thing is that the mines are dangerous. The underground mines he has seen before are supported by wood and other things. The passages are narrow and require experienced people to enter the mines below.

This mine was run by a friend of his, and he brought her here after saying hello. She had to be brought in by professionals to be safe.

"understood."

In the afternoon, they found Master Yang, who lived in a simple house in the mountain, halfway up the mountain. He had already prepared his equipment and was waiting. He didn't say much when he saw them coming. He just asked them to put on their clothes for going into the mine, and to light a torch when they went down. Just fine.

When Master Yang took them to the entrance of the mine, she looked down and almost fainted. The mine was in the hard rock. It was a vertical shaft about sixty or seventy meters deep. It was dug manually. The shaft went down. , is an inclined shaft, that is, a passage dug diagonally in the rock. After passing through the passage for several hundred meters, you will enter a dark alley.

Fortunately, it was no longer in the mine today. Master Yang tied the ropes they used to go down, and used tools to lower them one by one as the ropes moved. He would go down last!
After going down, they entered the inclined shaft through the narrow passage. After walking a few steps, it became dark. Master Yang lit the torch. Li Xi'er felt a little suffocated in the claustrophobic environment.

I raised my hand and touched these rock walls. They were all carved out manually. It was not easy! All those copper, iron and lead came out of these holes, right?
After walking nearly a kilometer, she saw the vast mining caves inside. They were connected and were very spectacular!
At this time, they no longer needed torches for lighting, because they saw bright ores of various colors on the rock cliffs, and they could roughly see some of the conditions in the cave!
"Your Majesty, the tungsten you mentioned should be tungsten ore. It is probably located at this location. Please wait a moment while I go look for it!"

"it is good!"

Master Yang lowered his head and fumbled around with a hammer for a while, shook his head, and then moved to another place to continue hammering! "I remember it was here, why not..."

"Any questions?"

"Maybe I misunderstood. The ore here is copper ore!"

"Well, Master Yang, don't be impatient, watch carefully!"

Master Yang worked hard, chiseling and chiseling the black and smooth stone. It was full of rocks. In Li Xier's memory, black tungsten ore grew in high-temperature hydrothermal quartz veins. The ground was pitch black and the ore was also black. , he saw Master Yang chipping it out piece by piece and then picking it up to look at it and shook his head, "Iron ore!"

Hard work!

Li Xi'er thought for a while, then looked up at the rock walls above her head and on the side. They were all shiny. Suddenly she found a crystal stone emitting light blue to yellow fluorescence embedded in the rock.

"Master Yang, look at that piece of ore, is it right?"

Master Yang raised his head and shook his head resolutely, "Brother, you may not know, but as the name suggests, the tungsten ore is black! Your one emits light, isn't it?"

In this era, tungsten ore has not been effectively utilized. It is really a waste. In modern times, it is an important material for military weapons, tanks, knives that can cut metal, drills, filaments, etc...

It's normal if you don't know him, but it's not easy to know this Master Yang!

"No, go up and see if you can chip that thing off!"

"Yes!"

Instead of flying, he went up, stepped on the rock wall with his feet, and started carving with the hammer and sharp knife in his hand. After a while, there was only a thud, and he caught it and took it down!
"master!"

"Xiao Xi, look, right?"

Li Xier took it and looked at it carefully. It was white with yellow, square crystals, and smooth with oil. When heated with a torch, it turned purple!

There was joy in his eyes,
"Yes, it's tungsten ore!"

Master Yang was not convinced and gave her a piece of black ore that had just been cut: "Brother, this is the authentic tungsten ore. Don't admit it!"

Li Xi'er took it and looked at it carefully, and nodded: "Yes, this is the same. Thank you Master Yang!"

Master Yang was confused, but still stubborn: "That tungsten ore of yours is wrong!"

Feng Qingcheng didn't expect Master Yang to be so arrogant, "Master Yang, now that we've found him, that's it, let's get out!"

"My lord, I don't know what you are looking for tungsten stone for? However, if you find it wrong, it may affect what you make!"

He has been digging the ore for so long, and he feels that this tungsten ore is very hard. Is it possible that the God of War wants this thing for some purpose?
If someone could develop it as a powerful weapon, then the God of War Prince would be invincible on the battlefield.

The prince said for a moment, this Master Yang has quite a sense of responsibility.

Take a look at Li Xier and see what she says!
"Master Yang, mine is scheelite and yours is wolframite. They are both tungsten ores, so they are correct!"

"Oh?" Master Yang paused and mentioned the scheelite mine. Is it because he is ignorant?
