Chapter 134
Two days later, a horse-drawn carriage left the road west of Bangta City and turned towards the mountain beside the road.
A slender arm lifted the curtain, and Vivian's little face stuck out of the car window. After taking a look at the scenery outside, she couldn't help but exclaim: "So dwarves live in such deep mountains, no wonder it used to be It's hard to see them."
"That was before, it's too easy to see them now." Steele's voice floated out of the car. "Vivian, when the Chamber of Commerce resumes work, if you want to see dwarves, you can see hundreds of dwarves at any time as long as you go to the magic machine tool workshop of the Chamber of Commerce."
"Yeah." Vivian nodded vigorously. "I'm afraid the people in Bangta City are not so curious about the dwarves now?"
"But they should still be very curious about the elves, don't you think, Miss Anise?" Steel's last words turned to Anise on the other side of the carriage.
Yanis thought about it seriously, nodded and said, "It should be. We elves don't like to be in contact with humans more than dwarves. We haven't appeared in front of humans for hundreds of years. It's normal to be curious about us."
"But now your tribe will be exposed to humans, Miss Anise, don't you feel nervous?" Steele asked again.
There was a hint of helplessness in Yanis's tone: "No way, our tribe is facing difficulties now, and it seems that only you humans can solve these difficulties. In order to survive, even if you are exposed to humans again, there is no way. Besides, I think President Xu is right. Not everyone of you humans is a bad person, except for good people like President Xu who are really willing to help us solve our difficulties. There are also people like Vivian and our elves. A person with a pure heart. Another elegant and beautiful person like you, Miss Steele. I also like it very much."
Steele blushed slightly: "Thank you for your compliment. But I think this can only be regarded as your luck. The first human you met was Xu Yi. Although this guy is a profiteer, he is still a very good person. Since he has promised to help you, he will certainly do it."
Yanis nodded: "Yes. After many contacts with President Xu, and my observation of staying by his side during this period of time, I think he should be a trustworthy human being."
Steele rolled his eyes and suddenly asked, "That's right, Anise. You said you've been by Xu Yi's side all this time, so is this always the case? Could it be that even Xu Yi sleeps, takes a shower and goes to the toilet? when you follow?"
With a natural expression, Yanis nodded again: "Yes"
Steele's eyes widened in surprise: "You were also beside him when he was taking a shower? Didn't you see him completely?"
Yanis didn't seem to understand what Steele meant at all, and said incomprehensibly, "I've seen it all, what's wrong with that?"
Suddenly, there was Xu Yi's violent coughing sound and his angry voice in front of the carriage.
"Cough...cough...I said Anise, why didn't you tell me before that you were by my side when I was taking a shower?"
Yanice lifted the curtain of the carriage and asked Xu Yi who was driving, "Because I don't think there is any problem with this. Why do you and Miss Steele care about this issue so much?"
Xu Yi slowed down the carriage, looked back at Yanice, and saw her innocent expression. He could only sigh helplessly, and then looked at Steele with a strange expression on his face. Somewhat angrily said: "You are still laughing! I was seen by her unconsciously. Is it me who suffers?"
Steele snorted softly: "You're a man, so there's nothing to lose. Anise is such a beautiful elf girl, and it's her who suffers."
Xu Yi shook his head and decided not to argue with Steele about this issue.
However, after seeing that Steele and Yanis had a conversation, the relationship between them seemed to have eased a lot, so they felt relieved.
Originally, he planned to come alone with Yanis for today's trip, but when he set off, he found out that because Evita and Akali had both gone home, Vivian had nowhere to entrust them, so she could only bring superior.
And Steele didn't know why, so he had to come along.
Xu Yi's persuasion was fruitless, and in the end he was forced to agree.
So in Xu Yi's opinion, it was a simple trip, but there were two extra girls.
But this also has an advantage, the road is a lot more lively, and it is not so boring.
Because Xu Yi invested in the construction of the road leading from the main road to the dwarf tribe, the last 20 kilometers of the road was not as pure as the first time on foot. In less than an hour, thick smoke was seen rising from the sky in the distance.
"Is there a fire over there?" Looking at the thick smoke, Steele couldn't help asking in surprise.
"No, those should be the smoke from the steel mill and the lime factory." Xu Yi glanced at the thick smoke that covered the sky in the distance, frowning slightly.
Although this scene reminded him instantly of the factories on earth, which made him feel a sense of intimacy, but seeing this scene, he had to think of the serious problem of environmental pollution.
Originally, the places where the Norma tribe and the Angolan tribe were located can be regarded as beautiful and pleasant, but since Xu Yi invested in the construction of a steel mill and a lime factory, the smoke and dust from the two factories quickly eroded the environment here.
Although Patriarch Shiluo and Patriarch Monto didn't care much, they were happy because the establishment of these two factories allowed the tribesmen in the tribe to have some stable income, but Xu Yi was very aware of the serious consequences caused by environmental pollution, naturally. Anxiety arose.
However, the industrialization process on the earth is always accompanied by serious pollution, and no country that vigorously develops industry can avoid it, so Sainz Continent wants to develop industry according to Xu Yi's ideas, this is also the only way to go.
But on second thought, Xu Yi thought of a problem, what he developed on this continent was the magic industry.
Compared with the industries on earth, the magic industry has one of the biggest advantages is that the energy consumption mainly comes from magic, which hardly causes pollution.
Since there was no pollution problem in the magic industry that Xu Yi was involved in before. In fact, the two steel mills and lime plants should also be able to avoid this problem.
Xu Yi was thinking about how to improve the production process given to you by these two factories. The carriage continued on its way. It didn't take long before they entered the Norma tribe.
Camby and the other dwarves returned to the tribe when the factory was on holiday, and had long known that Xu Yi was coming today. Now that they saw the carriage, the dwarves in the tribe greeted them one after another, headed by Patriarch Shi Lui. .
Seeing that Xu Yi was actually driving the car, and after the carriage stopped, three different figures jumped out of the carriage. The dwarves couldn't help being a little surprised by the beautiful women, big and small.
"President Xu, welcome and welcome." Patriarch Shilu glanced over the three beauties, and paused on Anis for a while before extending his hand to Xu Yi with a big smile.
Xu Yi shook hands with him, exchanged a few words at will, and asked Patriarch Shi Luby to take him to the steelworks to see.
This steel mill was established by Xu Yi instructing Patriarch Shiluo before he went to Anweimar City, because the material research of the dwarf tribe had made a breakthrough.
The steel, which was named Yinye Steel by Xu Yi because of the addition of silver leaf grass powder, has been basically mastered after the hard work of the dwarves. There are different silver leaf steels.
So Xu Yi simply invested a lot of money directly. This steel mill was built in the Norma tribe, and the dwarves made silverleaf steel with all their might.
According to Xu Yi's judgment. Silver leaf steel has a wide range of uses. For now, it can replace the ordinary pig iron used by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to produce magic fans, magic air conditioners, magic rice cookers and magic lamps.
If it is replaced by this new type of steel that has excellent hardness and ductility, and also has the characteristics of stainless steel, these household magic machines will definitely undergo earth-shaking changes.
As for the large-scale and heavy-duty magic machines made by magic machine tools, because of the strong requirements for the hardness of steel, silver leaf steel is not suitable.
At this point, Xu Yi had high hopes for another steel he discovered before, but because the dwarves haven't fully grasped it, he can't count on it for the time being.
As for the scale of this steelmaking plant, which is now specially used to make silver leaf steel, it can be said that the scale is extremely small. It has been put into operation for nearly two months, and the total amount of silver leaf steel produced is less than 10,000 tons.
By earthly standards, this is not comparable to the output of even the smallest steelworks.
However, Xu Yi was already satisfied with this.
After all, the steelmaking industry on the Sainz Continent is still just getting started. Besides, the output of this small steelmaking plant is constantly increasing. In the first month, it only made less than 3,000 tons. In the second month, it was already More than five thousand tons were refined.
According to this progress, as long as the dwarves continue to be proficient and improve the refining process, and gradually expand the scale, this steelmaking plant will at least be enough to supply the current needs of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, not to mention the level on Earth.
The first time they saw Steele, Vivienne, and even the elf Anise in the steelworks, they were all shocked.
The situation in front of them was completely beyond their understanding.
According to Steele and Vivienne, the so-called ironmaking is nothing more than a process in which iron ore is thrown into a furnace and slowly boiled by the blacksmiths in the common blacksmith shops inside and outside the city of Bonta.
But what is shown in front of them now is a completely different situation.
Heaps of iron ore were poured into the huge furnace, and molten iron like lava flowed out from the other end, and finally flowed into the mold, gradually cooling into pieces of steel that shone with silvery white light.
Whether it is scale or efficiency, as well as the shock, it is far more than those blacksmith shops countless times.
Steele glanced at the already formed silver leaf steel and asked Xu Yi, "The last time you said that the magic fan produced next year will use new materials, is this what you mean?"
Xu Yi nodded with a smile: "When the magic fans go on sale next summer, everyone will be surprised."
Yanis on the side heard the conversation between the two of you, and then looked at the hot steelmaking in front of her, and her confidence in Xu Yi deepened.
This human being can actually create such a shocking scene, so it should be easy to solve the problems encountered by his tribe, right?
