Fel doesn't lie to you

Apparently, the Brotherhood will have its own cargo ship.

This is not unusual. There used to be a pier in the Western Wilderness, but because of murlocs, Defias, and orcs, it was over for various reasons. Having a dock and a port is not a big problem.

It is also reasonable for Defias thieves to occupy these things.

However, it is impossible to fully support him in building an ironclad ship. He is worried that Li Ke will not do anything if he eats his people.

So he directly refused.

"Impossible. The West Wilderness needs a lot of steel now, and it won't be able to give it to you in a short while. If the miners can triple, maybe it can be accelerated, but the current scale is impossible. And large-scale collection is also impossible. We need to wait until the construction of the power station is completed to speed up the excavation of iron ore. As for shipbuilding, we must have a ship that can go directly to Kul Tiras, but we don’t know the situation there, so Mr. Hessenway’s Joining is a must."

Li Ke knew what Van Cleef was thinking, but it was precisely because he knew what he was thinking that he would not let the other party succeed and let him monopolize the shipbuilding and construction industries.

"Then expand production!"

Van Cleef spoke excitedly. He had seen the kind of blast furnace built by the dragon people, and he had absolute confidence in the kind of blast furnace that used technology that dwarves and he didn't understand!
Yes, he is more confident than Li Ke!Because unlike Li Ke who only glanced at the output and put it aside, Van Cleef went to see it with his own eyes!
Li Ke couldn't comprehend that kind of shock, the shock of iron ore disappearing in piles, and then easily turning into steel.

Van Cleef still remembers how he felt when he first saw the huge blast furnace:

The huge blast furnace was emitting thick smoke, and the scorching hot molten iron exuded the temperature of lava, but the craftsmen were carefully stirring the molten iron beside the molten iron, and continuously added various additives with tools that he could not understand. The temperature of the furnace reaches the limit.

And when the molten iron reaches a certain level, these people pour it into huge crucibles and models, solidify the hot molten iron, and then manufacture steel plates, steel pipes and steel ingots on a large scale!
All fucking steel!

That kind of uniformity, that kind of precise combination and link, that kind of perfect combination of one step after another made him feel an incomprehensible joy!

Just one day of trial operation directly won the steel production of Stormwind City for a month, which made Van Cleef feel even more joyful!
He has been to the city of dwarves and seen the huge melting furnace of dwarves that uses lava, but he can be sure that that thing is nothing without magma, which is why dwarves can forge steel on a large scale, but Li Ke and these The blast furnace made by the dwarf craftsman does not need magma, does not need a large number of dwarves, only needs a few blowers and some designs that he can't understand, but knows to be heating!
Although it is still more than dwarves using magma, this thing can be copied!And there is clearly the possibility of improvement!

He couldn't even understand why Li Ke just glanced at the output and threw it aside in disgust, and didn't intend to see the miraculous creation with his own eyes.

How dare he despise it!
If Li Ke now expands production at all costs, and then uses an invincible steel army to solve all problems!
But Li Ke directly denied his idea.

"Impossible. If we develop the steel industry unilaterally, we will die miserably. Van...Fandar, my first goal here is to make the people of the Westfall well fed and clothed. I will talk about the rest later."

Li Ke shook his head. In his opinion, his current iron ore production is very low, and he can't beat him with arms. It's better to use it all to develop agriculture and people's livelihood.

It is necessary to increase production, but there is no need to put all your eggs in one basket. He is still in the period of peaceful development. Even if the undead disaster comes, Varian will go first instead of him. As long as Stormwind City does not last for two months An unstoppable salted fish, his on-site transformation is completely in time.

Moreover, the current production problem is that there are no large-scale mining machines, so the gang of miners are still using their own pickaxes to knock. Grow out, otherwise the current output will not be maintained.

Vrykul Iron Man is no match for a large excavator. Only the combination of an excavator and a human can be regarded as a serious mine.

As for buying mining tools for gnomes and dwarves.

It's not that Li Ke wants to complain about these two races, but——

Why do they think that adding a motor to the connection between the pickaxe and the wooden pole to increase the force of the pickaxe hitting the ore is considered scientific mining with the power of technology! !
"So... your steel output is high?"

He Senwei looked at Li Ke and Van Cleef, and couldn't help but interjected.

How should I put it, he doesn't mind Van Cleef robbing the job, he is here to fish is the best allegiance to Kul Tiras, but...

A lot of steel is very important.

"It's not a lot, it's just barely enough for us to use now, but...compared to the production of woolen cloth in the future, it will be very high, so if you can get a caravan in a month, I might be able to use woolen cloth Fill their ships with cloth. And grain, too, and we'll have a lot of rich grain here."

Before Li Ke finished speaking, he saw Hesenwei's eyes light up.

"You mean...you have enough food here?"

His tone was a little excited, because he had personally seen the price of food in Lordaeron skyrocket. If he could get a large amount of food and cheap woolen cloth at this time, then he would definitely make a fortune.

Seeing his appearance like this, Li Ke quickly realized something, and just as he was about to flip through his notebook, Grayson suddenly appeared and spoke at this time.

"Mr. Heisenway, my master's people still have a lot of accumulated cowhide and other things that can be sold. This is the cowhide that has been accumulated for a whole year, so if you have a connection, I think you can send more. Some boats are coming."

While talking, Grayson opened a bottle of red wine and smiled for the three of them to sober up.However, not only did he do these things, but another voice of his came into Li Ke's mind along the contract between him and Li Ke,
"The general market price of your wool cloth is 25 silver coins a yard, and the best wool is about 3 to 4 silver coins a pound, but your cost is extremely low, so you can put the price between 23 and 6 silver coins, so that If not, those merchants will come here like crazy. And the price of those cow and sheep skins is almost the same, but these things are war supplies, you can ask him for other things, as long as it is not too much, that Dai Lin will not refused.

And if you don't plan to compete with farmers and merchants for profits, and let the caravan stay here for a longer time, you can let them go to the farmers themselves to buy them.As for wheat, it is about 18 Stormwind copper coins per pound, but if you settle with Lordaeron gold and silver coins, the price can be reduced by almost 20%. As for the tariff, you need to give me a specific number before I can Help you make an offer they can't refuse. "

Li Ke was silent, because he really didn't count these things!

But this Dreadlord has already done his calculations!

but……

"Remember to use kilograms as the unit next time."

He still wants to pick a thorn.
