Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 190 188. New Industrial Zone
The industrial zone in the east of Yeqi City has been under construction for 3 days. According to the latest delivery from Rand, the official name here is Yeqicheng Industrial New Zone to distinguish it from the workshop area in the east of the city.

The busiest person in the new industrial area every day is Kur Yagan. As the only person in the team who has some experience in iron smelting, he stood in a huge cave and guessed the smelting scene in this space hundreds of years ago.

Originally Kuryagan wanted to bring Sawyaku with him. This half-dwarf just came from the Longhorn tribe not long ago, but after a few days, both Ben Kaur and himself found that this Sawyer Ku is an expert in iron armor, but he doesn't know anything about iron smelting, but now that the territory is in dire straits, it is better to let him take charge of the blacksmith shop in the workshop area in the east of the city than to bring him here.

When everyone just arrived here, they first discovered that it was a hill, and a forest on the west side completely covered the ups and downs of the terrain. Only at the foot of the mountain could they feel the slope tens of meters high.

When I entered the interior of the former ruins, I realized that the hill seemed to be completely hollowed out, and a few meters was dug underground to leave a flat foundation.

Everyone who just arrived is shocked by the magnificence of the new industrial area. There are still some rails and rock formations left in the remains of iron smelting. The platform of a furnace can be seen in the copper smelting workshop, the glass workshop and The brick kilns are relatively well preserved.

"Master, the lord asked me to restore the iron smelting and copper smelting here, and said to build a blast furnace, but I don't think there was a furnace here before?" Ke Yagan rubbed the back of his head with a blank expression on his face. question book.

"It's not your fault. The former glory of this place was built by the strength of the empire from all over the world. If you think about our current strength, it can't be restored." Ben stared at the wide foundation in the Iron Smelting Cave, as if reflecting Phantoms of the Golden Age.

The iron-making blast furnace here was once designed by the Emperor himself, presided over by the legendary mage Klein, the legendary rune master Kaul (the ancestor of Ben), the legendary dwarf Sherman, and participated by many legends and magisters, as well as two goblin queens and 5 A big goblin joined in and completed it together.

On the Galloping Horse Plain, it is very difficult to build a building suitable for a large-scale magic circle, and there are no magic furnaces left over from previous civilizations, or natural forests and mountains to improve the magic environment.

Not only that, Yeqi City is a traffic hub, and there are no mines, coal or other resources around it, so it is almost impossible to build an iron smelting plant here.

But thousands of years ago, the security environment on the plain was complicated, and the surrounding industrial facilities needed the support and protection of big cities. After weighing and exploring several times, the Emperor of God chose to build an epoch-making iron-making blast furnace here.

Here and the mountains where Yeqi City is located belong to the remains of ancient volcanoes. Using the remaining fire elements in the ground, a super-large heating circle was made.

Above the heating circle, in the huge rock mass blast furnace, the iron ore and limestone are fully mixed by wind and fire magic, and the formed molten iron falls due to gravity, and the furnace ashes are sent away by the hot wind.

Looking at the barbarian blacksmith next to him, Ben Kaur didn't believe that there was any way for people like Rand to resume production here, not to mention whether he could get his iron ore, it still depends on the face of another huge tribe on the plain .

"I think" Ben was going to remind Kur Yagan. "Rand doesn't mean that iron smelting can be resumed in two days. You should prepare to build a dock first and wait for a new batch of iron ore to arrive."

Neil's team is still stuck around the brown bear tribe, and has taken down four medium and large barbarian tribes so far. After several annexations, the number of his knights, cavalry, black-scaled horses and pack animals is increasing, but the grain is about to When they run out, Ye Qicheng has already organized a fleet to transport grain east, and then transport the iron ore he harvested back.

"You're right." The honest Kuryagan remembered that Rand's request to him was to settle down first, and recover what he could recover first. "Then I'll go to see the glass workshop and brick kiln first, and then go to the river bank."

Outside the remains of the workshop, a group of local residents who made bricks in the original territory had already started to tidy up the brick kilns.Brick making involves multiple processes from material preparation, mud turning, embryo making, drying, and brick firing, and it takes 2-3 months from material preparation to production.The remnants of the cave dwellings are relatively intact, and there are clay mines around, which is a process that can resume production as soon as possible.

It is more difficult to make copper and glass workshops. These two crafts are in the hands of the nobles in the capital. Even if there are ready-made ruins, there are no business backbones and skilled workers who can preside over the production.

. . .

Outside the production area, Lu En is leading the leaders to build a camp.

Because stone and wood are relatively scarce, the villagers need to dig a crypt about one meter first, and then build an earth wall around the crypt. A small amount of wood is used as the pillars of the house and the skeleton of the thatched roof.

As early as the beginning of the year, Rand had discussed with Laniya and others how to build such a crypt house, and trained some specialized construction workers so that they could build a crypt house with a stove, heated kang and drainage .

Naturally, such a primitive earthen house cannot be directly occupied by people. After the initial construction of the non-magic people, magic goblins are needed to reinforce the walls and ground. The magic goblins can even make stone pillars instead of wooden ones.

In Yeqi City, there were ready-made houses that were not available, but now in the new industrial zone, large-scale construction has begun for the non-monsters to live in.

With the help of Miss Sagittarius, the earth goblins built a stone wall of about 1 meter outside the camp according to the scale of the camp. The rock wall built a stone pillar of about 3 meters at a fixed distance, and separated some square stones from the rock and soil. brick.The low rock wall is only the baseline for the future engineering team to build the wall with soil, and the stone pillars are the height standard of the wall.

The rock bricks are used to prepare for the construction of the blast furnace in the future: the fire elves will affect the surrounding environment, and the objects covered around the fire elves will form a very good insulation material after about a month, and the ground bricks are used to give the fire The elves make a nest, and prepare to become bricks in the iron-smelting blast furnace in a month.

The material for burning bricks this time is mainly coal brought from the territory. Although there are forests near the new industrial area, it is currently recognized that forests can effectively improve the turbulent flow of magic. The forest is completely indestructible.

In the evening, Kai, Kuryagan, Luen and others reported the progress of the day to Ben Kaur, and the mage from the imperial capital couldn't help but sigh, "It's really playing tricks here, As far as the current progress is concerned, if all 3000 people are sent here, I am afraid that it will not be possible to resume iron smelting here."

Ben Kaur put down the ruins of Yeqi City and ran here to preside over the construction of the new industrial zone. It was commissioned by Rand, more because he wanted to explore the ruins here, but after a day of research, he confirmed that the ruins here The traces of the magic circle are newly drawn by humans within 1000 years, and most of them have information in the imperial capital, so there is no need for him to waste time.What he is most interested in here now is how Lant Benma intends to restore this industrial relic into a new industrial area that can be produced.
