Tomorrow's Ark is too real

Chapter 186 Elementary Materials
Taking this city as a starting point, establish a huge force that can give Wei Na enough support when necessary. Not only Wei Na, his future actions may leave Victoria. I hope this force can also provide him with support behind his back.

This is the idea that popped up in Xia Feng's mind.

To be honest, this idea has existed for a long time, but he has not cleared his mind, or he has not made up his mind.

But just now, when he heard the distribution of the power of the Victorian gangsters described by the bald head, for some reason, this made him feel like the Three Kingdoms were fighting for hegemony, which made his blood boil, and he wished he could plunge into this muddy water right now. Stir it up.

Of course, this is definitely not a hasty decision made by his head. Perhaps this is not the safest and most correct approach at the moment, but in the long run, this is the path he must take. He not only needs his own powerful strength, but also Have enough influence on the world.

Decided.

As long as it is what he believes, it will not change, even if his head is broken, he must go on. Of course, this road may be difficult, but with his hard-headed character, it is estimated that the enemy he is about to face will be even more difficult. Disaster.

Now that he has decided, he will not sit at home and do nothing. In the past, all kinds of troubles swooped towards his face like flies. Now, he will finally start to make trouble for others.

Xia Feng looked at Hurd who was standing behind him.

"Second Uncle, don't worry, you saw it just now, I am very good at fighting."

"But. We can't spend all day with these people. They can be replaced when they are injured, but you only have one."

Xia Feng showed an evil smile.

"That's easy. If the water pipe keeps leaking and can't be blocked, I'll just cut off its source."

"What do you mean?"

"Second uncle, go back to the house and tell me in detail about the demolition and that shit nobleman."

Back in the house, Hurd told Xia Feng the whole thing in detail, or the person who had been a teacher is different, the whole incident and related information, what Hurd said was a clear and analytical one. It is comprehensive.

Following Herd's explanation, Xia Feng's eyes became brighter and brighter, because he heard a very unexpected news about this city, or about this street.

As a second-level noble, the Liye family has developed in this city for several generations, and its influence can be said to be deeply rooted. As for why they have developed in the medium-sized city of Harpi City for generations, there is one reason for this.

That is, 6 kilometers north of Harpi City, there is a very rare mining area. Victoria is a country with very few minerals. Looking at the whole country, mines of this scale are very rare. As for what kind of mine is this, Xia Feng heard a familiar name.

light manganese ore.

That's right, it is this primary material that cannot be artificially synthesized and can only be mined from natural mining areas, light manganese ore.

This is not a game, and the use of light manganese ore is not for elite operators. According to Hurd, the use of light manganese ore is very extensive in the world of Terra, involving many fields.

Light manganese ore is an important chemical raw material and an indispensable raw material for the metallurgical industry. It is a very strong reducing agent that can absorb all the oxygen from molten steel, so that there is no iron oxide in the steel and it becomes a non-porous steel ingot.

Secondly, light manganese ore is also an excellent desulfurizer, it can remove sulfur in molten steel, adding a small amount of manganese to steel can greatly improve the mechanical properties of steel, such as specific ductility, ductility, toughness and wear resistance.

All well-known high-quality steel processing in the world of Terra requires light manganese ore, such as carbon steel, mixed steel, different iron blocks, and even the highest quality D32 steel. At the same time, light manganese ore can also be used to manufacture dyes and desiccants.

In addition to the above, light manganese ore also has one of the most important uses, which is one of the important processing source materials for producing finished A-grade source stones and B-grade source stones.

The Liye family has controlled this light manganese mining area for generations, and hand over the necessary amount of light manganese ore according to the needs of the country every year. In addition, the remaining income can be sold to private factories.

Not only in Victoria, light manganese ore is an important chemical raw material all over the world, and some countries and regions do not even have this substance at all, which leads to high prices.

The Liye family can mine and process the light manganese ore at the lowest cost, and then sell it to other regions at a very high price. If they want to further increase their profits, there is another way, that is, the smuggling method that can avoid tariffs.

According to historical records, there was no city in this area a long time ago, and it was a desolate land. A geologist who happened to pass by accidentally discovered this huge light manganese mining area.

Since then, people have gradually built up the city around the mining area. Because the person who discovered the mining area was named Hapi, the city was also named Hapi City.

Now the Liye family owns two light manganese chemical factories in Harpi City, and the purpose of their recent requisition of Kilt Area A is to build a third factory, and there is another very subtle reason for this.

Natural light manganese ore emits a gas during processing and refining. For living things, this gas is extremely harmful to the body. Although it can be isolated by wearing protective equipment, it is unavoidable to inhale this gas for a long time. Gas, which also led to the reluctance of ordinary people to work in such chemical plants.

This is the reason why Harpy City is a special administrative municipality of Victoria. In addition to the main city, there are many suburbs similar to the Kild District. Of course, the largest of them is the Kild District.

Different from other cities, the most special thing about the Kild District of Harpy City is that not only ordinary people live in this block, but also a large number of legally infected people live in it.

The Kiel District is divided into three blocks, Area A, Area B, and Area C. Among them, Area A where Hurd is located is mostly ordinary people, while Area B is a mixture of ordinary people and infected people. Severely debilitated, severely infected individuals who are unable to work.

In this city, legally infected people have different privileges than other cities. As long as they have worked in the factory of the Liye family for more than one year, they can get a house. Although it is not a luxurious house, for ordinary infected people, there is no need It is not bad for several families to live in a dilapidated house, and the monthly salary is not low.

The Liye family wanted to build the third chemical factory in Kielt District A. First, it could avoid air pollution to the main urban area. Second, it could attract nearby infected people to engage in this kind of work that is extremely harmful to the body. Third, for infected persons who work outside the city, they will not be able to find a place to live temporarily.

After listening to Heard's explanation, Xia Feng finally knew what this Master Tangde was planning.

Salary and housing, which seem to be a piece of cake, are actually sugar-coated shells. The wages required for such a job that is extremely harmful to the body are definitely several times higher than normal.

And the so-called housing is even more ridiculous. Inhaling poisonous gas and the devastation of ore disease, the infected person will die soon. At that time, the house will still be taken back by the Liye family and reissued to Xinman for a year, but it will soon be Infected people dying of illness.

Exchange labor at the lowest cost, which is the most cost-effective deal for a factory that consumes a lot of manpower.

The reason why Hurd is unwilling to agree to relocate is because once the chemical plant is built here, the air pollution in the entire Kiel District will completely exceed the standard, and he could live to be 70 years old. The crane has returned to the west.
