Farming Lord of Crossing

Chapter 209. 208. Blue Iron Ore

After the others left, Ross left Thomas alone, who was clearly very disappointed.

"Why, I suddenly found that so many former subordinates can be on the same level as you, and I feel very disappointed?" Ross looked at Thomas with a smile and asked.

"No, no..." Thomas waved his hands again and again. After more than a year of nurturing and growing up, Thomas is no longer that carefree, heartless young man, and he no longer dares to treat Ross as casually as his little friend back then. He said rather annoyedly, "It is my lack of personal ability that has disappointed the lord!"

"You, your lying skills are terrible!" Ross patted Thomas on the shoulder, looked at his embarrassed face, and explained to him seriously, "Thomas, I have three considerations for not letting you continue to be the president of the army. .

First, it is true that there is still a little lack in your ability and strength.If you think about it, your current strength is not the strongest in the army, nor is your experience and experience the richest.Even with my backing, it will be difficult for you to convince everyone. This will definitely damage the unity and combat effectiveness of the entire army.What you need most now is time, calm down, study hard, practice hard, and improve yourself in all aspects.Only in this way can you achieve greater feats in the future, and I can entrust you with more important responsibilities.

Second, just now I imposed personnel restrictions on all other legions, but the Rock Knights did not, and I also said that the territory will do its best to cultivate the Rock Knights.Huang Puma is a rare and excellent war horse. Think about it, when the Rock Knights grow to 500, or even 1000 people, how powerful the Rock Knights will be?Even if the other four legions add up, they can't be compared with you, the knight leader, right?
Thirdly, I am the lord of Stanland, the army must and can only be in my hands, do you understand? "Loss emphasized the words must and can only. As a "senior military adviser fan" (military game), Ross knows the importance of military power. Military power must be in his own hands, even if he is Neither can relatives.

At first, Thomas was very moved when he heard Rose's words of consideration for him, but when he heard Rose's last words, Thomas shuddered and suddenly raised his head to look at Rose, then lowered his head: "I understand, Lord Lord. I will manage the Rock Knights well!"

After Thomas left, Ross was alone in the conference room for a while, feeling sad. Now that his status and status are different, some things have gradually changed, even if he is the best partner, such as Blue, or Thomas now.

To be honest, Ross has taken great care of the partners who grew up in Stan Village, such as Hobbs, Oliwen, Xiumi, especially Blue and Thomas. To be honest, Stan now has more powerful, capable and experienced people than them. There are many more, but Ross has always supported the two of them, even after hearing a lot of gossip.

I only hope that they can quickly recognize the situation and enter the role like Bruce. After all, if the territory is to develop rapidly, it must be promoted wholeheartedly and conscientiously in every link.

After a while, Julis and Bruce came over, and Ross restrained his melancholy, and led them to the hinterland of the territory. He still has an important task today: inspecting the blue iron mine!

The Blue Iron Mine is located 30 miles southeast of Stan Town and more than 900 miles away from the Four Leaf Basin. It is a huge mountain with a bottom diameter of about [-] miles and a height of [-] meters. .

A town named Blue Iron Town was built not far in front of the Blue Iron Mine. In addition to being used for mining workers to live in, its biggest function is to smelt iron ore.

Due to the mana in this world, there is a certain probability that various metal veins will produce various mana metals with special magic properties.This type of metal not only has unique magical properties and can be sold at a very high price, but also has a special property that it can directly form an independent metal block with a very high purity. After being dug out, it can be used without smelting.

The nobles are only interested in this kind of extremely valuable magic energy metal, and have not discovered the basic smelting industry at all.Therefore, the basic smelting industry in this world is still in a primitive state like agriculture, and it is only iron with more inclusions obtained by smelting with charcoal.

This kind of iron has many impurities, low carbon content, and is very soft. It can only be forged, and there is no casting industry at all.Therefore, the blacksmith industry in this world is in great demand, and all kinds of iron products need to be forged by blacksmiths with hammers before they can be produced.

When the three of Ross arrived, Blue Tie Town was in full swing.There is billowing smoke everywhere, vehicles transporting iron ore and iron ingots, and soldiers constantly patrolling and overseeing the work.

The mayor of Blue Iron Town, an old man with 30 years of experience in ironmaking, came over with a large group of people: "Welcome Lord Lord to inspect the work of Blue Iron Mine!"

Ross frowned looking at the billowing black smoke, then smiled slightly and said, "This is the first time I've been to the mine, Mine Manager Bron, please give me a good introduction!"

Seeing Rose's gentle smile, Bron became less nervous, and introduced a bright smile on his dark face: "My lord, this blue iron mine is the largest and best-quality iron mine I have ever seen. up.

At present, we have built three mines, the iron ore content is more than 5.00% to [-]%, of which the refined iron content is [-]%, and the blue iron content is [-]/[-].After more than a year of careful exploration, we have discovered nearly [-] large veins on this huge blue iron mine, and the amount of iron ore is huge and immeasurable. "

Ross' eyes lit up when he heard this, the content of refined iron and blue iron is so high?
Refined iron is a relatively low-level magical metal. It is very hard and tough. It is the main material for forging Tier [-] weapons and equipment. Even Tier [-] and even Tier [-] weapons and armor will use a certain amount of Refined Iron. The economic value is very high.

Blue iron is the main material for forging Tier 10,000 weapons, and it is also an important auxiliary material for Tier [-] weapons and armor.According to the current price of thousands of gold coins for Tier [-] weapons and [-]+ gold coins for Tier [-] weapons in the Wellington City market, one can know how valuable refined iron and blue iron are.However, after mining, smelting, and forging, ordinary iron ore can only buy a few gold coins. Naturally, it will not attract too much attention from the profit-seeking nobles.

But Ross doesn't think so. Having fully seen the steel jungle in his last life, he knows the huge potential of steel. As long as he continuously improves the smelting technology and improves the strength, type and use of steel, he can definitely create huge profits.

Walking into the spacious gate of Blue Iron Town under the respectful eyes of the guards, Ross saw low iron-smelting furnaces emitting billowing black smoke, surrounded by a large group of busy, naked and black people. Thin workers, not far from the iron smelting furnace are low and simple dwellings.

This blue iron town, which has been in operation for less than three months, has not been long since iron smelting began, and the whole town has turned black.

Passing through the dirty, messy and hot town, and through the southern gate, Ross and the others entered a huge stockyard. In addition to piles of iron ore, there was a mess of "bang bang bang" knocking With the sound, hundreds of relatively strong men are wielding big hammers and trying hard to break the iron ore.

On both sides of the stockyard are tall walls extending from the town wall. The wall extends all the way to the depths of the mine. Presumably the mine should also be enclosed to form a closed place, and a large number of guards should be arranged to patrol and supervise.

After all, the workers in the Blue Iron Mine are all refugees who built the defense line of the Western Regions in the early stage, reclaimed the Four Leaf Basin for stealing, playing tricks, and doing things secretly, as well as the locals who have violated laws and disciplines and spread rumors in the past two years.
