Chapter 95 Nonferrous Metal Mineral Veins

Xu Yi raised his head and glanced at the small hill in the distance that looked a little abrupt on the Black Rice Wasteland, and then pointed to a place not far from the hill that seemed to be a small village composed of a bunch of wooden houses. Asked President Reelsa: "That should be the Woller werewolf tribe, right?"

President Reelsa looked at Xu Yi in surprise: "President Xu, how did you know? Did you actually come to the Heimi tribe before?"

"I haven't been here before. But I know that there are good things near this Woller werewolf tribe." Xu Yi smiled slightly, pointed to the small hill and said to President Cruise: "It's not that you didn't understand what I wanted. Is there any benefit in building the road to the gate of the orc tribe? Let me tell you, as long as we dig out a little bit of what's under that hill, it's enough to make a road back."

President Cruise and President Reelsa looked at the unremarkable little hill in the distance, and President Reelsa shook his head: "I've been here so many times, but I never knew that small hill. What treasure is buried under the broken mountain?"

"That is, if there are really good things, the orcs of this werewolf tribe have not been dug up and sold long ago, and they are waiting for you to dig?" President Cruise also looked unbelievable.

"First, they don't have the strength to dig out the treasure below. Second, they don't know the treasure below at all, and even if they have the ability, they won't dig it." Xu Yi said. "And now I have the ability to dig out those treasures, and I know what those treasures can be used for, so who else can you ask me if you don't wait for me to dig them out?"

Seeing Xu Yi didn't seem like a joke, President Cruise frowned and asked, "President Xu, what kind of treasure is underneath? Is it worth your trip to the Orcs?"

Xu Yi glanced at President Leelsa: "President Leelsa, are you also interested?"

President Reelsa thought for a while, nodded and said, "Of course I'm interested. I've done business with the orcs in the Black Rice Wasteland for so many years, but this is the first time I've heard of what treasures will be found in this ruined place. Xu President, come and listen. If it's a good thing, we will all dig it out together to make some money."

"Okay." Xu Yi deliberately said it in front of him, of course, intending to bring him in too.

If you want to do something under the eyes of these orc tribes in the Black Rice Plateau, it must be difficult for someone who is not familiar with the place.

President Reelsa was the most suitable candidate chosen by Xu Yi.

"According to the information I have now. If there is no accident under that hill. In fact, there is a very rich non-ferrous metal vein hidden. The main deposits should be aluminum and copper, as well as some tungsten and a small amount of ore. The lead ore. If they are mined, it will be very beneficial to industrial development. Even if it is not used in magical machinery, it can be used in other places..."

"Stop!" President Cruise raised his hand to interrupt Xu Yi. "I said President Xu, and you talked for a long time. I didn't understand almost a word. I know about copper, because it is used when making copper coins, but what are non-ferrous metals? What are aluminum ore and tungsten ore? What lead ore? What the hell are you talking about?"

President Reelsa on the side was also confused: "Yes, I also know about copper mines, but what are these non-ferrous metals you are talking about, what are they used for? What are they like?"

Xu Yi was startled, then remembered. The mining and utilization of non-ferrous metals on the Sainz Continent is extremely rare. Except for the mining of some copper ore veins to make copper coins, due to the underdevelopment of the machinery industry, even the use of iron is not particularly large.

What's more, these are not after deep processing. The properties do not look as good as non-ferrous metals like iron.

"Uh... I'll explain the functions of these non-ferrous metals to you in detail. I'm afraid I can't explain it in a while. Let's put it this way, now that the price of one ton of iron ore in the Falcao Chamber of Commerce has been raised to seven gold coins, then Do you know how much I would pay if he could sell me a ton of copper ore?"

President Cruise frowned: "Copper ore is mainly used to mint copper coins, and the kingdom officials are very strict. Even if you want to buy it, the Falcao Chamber of Commerce will not be able to sell it to you."

"Huh? Well, let me change an example. Er... The price of aluminum ore is too different, so let's say lead ore. I'm willing to pay twenty gold coins for the same ton of lead ore!"

President Cruise and President Reelsa raised their eyebrows at the same time: "Is what you said true?"

"Of course it's true, what did I lie to you for?" Xu Yi snorted softly. "Tell you, the uses of various non-ferrous metals are even more extensive than iron, and they are even more needed in the use of magic machinery. President Cruise, you don't always hope that I can help you develop some large-scale projects. Magic machinery, our chamber of commerce has not been able to develop it before, in addition to the research bottleneck of magic circle power, but also because of material constraints."

"Because of the need for these non-ferrous metals?" President Cruise asked.

"Well, that's it. Iron and various alloy steels alone cannot fully meet the requirements for making large-scale engineering magic machines."

In fact, this sentence is very nonsense. To make general large-scale road construction machinery, ordinary steel can absolutely be competent.

But now Xu Yi is trying to pull these two people into the gang, bullying them anyway, they don't understand anyway, so you can just talk nonsense.

Sure enough, after hearing Xu Yi's answer, President Cruise nodded: "Well, then I understand. But it doesn't matter what it is used for, just know that these non-ferrous metals you mentioned are valuable. Since there are valuable things... …”

President Cruise looked at President Reelsa, and President Reelsa immediately snorted: "It's a waste to keep these good things in the territory of the orcs, anyway, those simple-minded orcs will not understand this at all. The value of things, it is better for us to help them dig it out."

Xu Yi laughed, thinking that this President Reelsa didn't know if it was his own personality, or because he had been dealing with the orcs for too long, he was infected by the orcs into this arrogant personality.

But it's fine if he agrees to join the team, his personality doesn't matter.

Of course, if you want to mine non-ferrous metals under the eyes of the orc tribe, you need to think carefully.

The three gathered together and discussed it carefully for a long time, and then they settled on a preliminary plan. First, President Reelsa will bring the two people into this Woller werewolf tribe, and then it will depend on the situation.

After determining the initial course of action, Xu Yi came to Steele, who was wandering back and forth on the wasteland with only a few grass growing not far away.

"How is the situation?" Xu Yi asked.

Steele's face was heavy and he shook his head: "It's not good. Look..."

Steele raised his foot and slammed on the ground a little, and the ground immediately sank into a small hole.

There is no soil moisture in the pit, only yellow sand.

"This wasteland has become like this, no wonder the Sandy River has so much sand rushing in." Steele said solemnly. "But I asked Yanis and the others just now, and they said that although the Black Rice Wasteland was barren before, the ground has always been overgrown with weeds, and it's not as desolate as it is now like sand."

"It should be because of the excessive grazing of these orcs, which led to the exhaustion of vegetation resources in this wasteland, so it caused soil erosion."

Xu Yi squatted down, grabbed a handful on the ground, and caught a handful of fine sand.

The fingers were only slightly loosened, and the fine sand poured down from the gaps of the fingers like flowing water.

Feeling the touch of fine sand flowing between his fingers, Xu Yi sighed in his heart.

This situation is very similar to the situation in the Great Northwest of the Celestial Dynasty on Earth.

When he was on earth, he visited a certain northwestern province because of the construction machinery problem. At that time, he was very shocked when he saw the deserted land and the yellow sand everywhere.

He knew very well that if the situation was not managed, the entire land would eventually be deserted and no longer inhabitable.

The black rice wasteland in front of you has actually shown some signs of desertification. If you leave it alone, I believe it will take a few years before this wasteland will become a desert.

Don't say that these orcs may not be able to continue to live here, even the kingdom of Lampari, which is the closest to the Black Rice Wasteland, will be severely affected.

Compared with Earth, Sainz Continent has a huge advantage in this regard, that is, the existence of the elves.

The elves are known as forest races. Even when they ruled the entire Sainz Continent before the race war, the elves generally lived in cities composed of a large number of trees.

At that time, the entire Sainz Continent could be said to be completely shrouded in greenery, not to mention deserts, and there were very few places that were not covered by forests.

Under the long-term historical precipitation, the elves have a special inheritance and ability on how to cultivate plants.

The situation of the Black Rice Wasteland in front of him seems very difficult on the technological level of the earth, but in the eyes of the elves, it is not a problem at all.

Xu Yi looked left and right, and found that there were no orcs, so he whispered, "Yanis."

The figure of Yanis flashed quietly beside Xu Yi. Xu Yi pointed to the place covered with sand and asked her, "How is it? Can this environment be improved?"

"It's very simple." Anise's very affirmative answer instantly reassured Xu Yi. "Actually, the elders sent tribesmen to talk with these orcs decades ago, hoping to plant a forest on the Black Rice Wasteland to improve the environment of the Black Rice Wasteland. But the orcs refused."

Xu Yi glanced at Anise, thinking that on the continent of Sainz, the forest can almost be used as a synonym for the elves. You elves ran to tell the orcs that you want to plant forests on your orcs' territory. That's no different from saying that I'm going to seize your territory. It's only strange that the orcs can agree.

But this time, it was not the elves who said they would come here to plant trees, but the human being Xu Yi. I wonder how the orcs would feel?
