Beishiling

Dashantou

Dwarf tribe

After two months of relocation, all the dwarves have All in place, a total of more than 2,300 clansman.

Two thousand of them live in Dashantou, and the remaining three hundred old and weak live in a safer mountain.

On the top of the big mountain, the trees have been cut down. There is only one stone house lined up in a staggered way, and the line of sight is wide.

On the edge of the tribe, the dwarves built a circle of mixed wood and stone walls to seal the road up the mountain and delineate three entrances and exits.

And send someone to guard at the entrance and exit.

This method is more troublesome than the crypt of the Black Volcano, but if the dwarves are to make a choice, they would rather live in the sun.

"Sorin, leave the matter of the tribe to us old fogey, you should hurry to explore the mineral deposits, don't delay it for too long, otherwise Lord Odin will not be able to explain it."

"I'm going to tell you about this. The tribe has troubled the Elders."

"Everywhere, it's all for the tribe."

After a few words, Thorin led a team of bronze guards with tools to the west exit.

Mining prospecting is an instinct inherited from the bloodline of the dwarf, and this ability is permanently solidified in any dwarf bloodline.

As the anti-ancestor degree of bloodline increases, this ability will become stronger and stronger. In ancient legends, there was a dwarf king who relied on this ability to build a glorious golden kingdom.

Sorlin’s bloodline is bronze rank, and its ability to develop is very low. It can only generate slight inductions near the mineral deposits. Apart from this has no other functions.

Of course, the closer you are to the mineral deposits, the more obvious the induction will be. The Solin deposit in Broken Stone Ridge can indeed be sensed, but the more specific location is unclear.

Faced with this situation, the dwarves came up with a stupid way, that is to drill a well, drill a deep well.

It means to drill a deep well at various locations in a place where there is a mineral induction, and then enter the induction mineral burial site in the deep well.

Through every attempt, find the real center of the mineral deposit.

This method is very stupid, but very useful. It can not only find the mineral source, but also determine the specific scope of the mineral deposit.

Sorin is going to use this method to find the mineral deposits in North Stone Ridge.

Sha Sha Sha...

The dwarf team shuttles through the mountains and forests, walking along the edge of North Stone Ridge.

"Stop!"

The crowd didn't walk long, Thorin waved his hand and the team immediately stopped.

"The first position is here. If it is deep, let's dig 20 meters first."

"Yes, the patriarch!"

Dwarves Picking up the tools and immediately starting to dig the well, Thorin stood on guard by himself.

Twenty meters is the minimum standard for a deep well. Thorin just tries it first. If it doesn’t work, he can deepen it later.

The deep well does not need to be very wide, as long as it can accommodate one person.

The eight dwarves take turns to dig here again. When they are hungry, they eat the dry food they carry with them. They dig until the afternoon.

While they were digging, Thorin cut down some trees and made a fence to enclose the well, and finally covered it with wooden planks to prevent rain or wild beasts from falling in.

After doing this, Thorin took the team back, and the same was true for 2nd day.

For months after that, Thorin led the team to do this, digging fifteen 20-meter-deep wells around the edge of Beishiling.

If these deep wells are all connected to the line, it will be just enough to draw out an ellipse with a north-south direction.

After the fifteenth deep well was dug, Thorin started from deep well one and went deep to sense the location of the mine. Once and again, each well sensed twice.

It is strange that compared to the ground, the induction in the deep well is indeed more obvious, but there is no difference in the degree of induction in each well, which makes Thorin a little confused.

The most central position of the mineral deposit must be judged by the intensity of the induction.

"It's not so coincidental, is it that the mine is in the middle?"

Small probability events are not impossible.

But is it right? Just dig a few wells in the Central Zone of Beishiling to induce induction.

So, the sixteenth well and the seventeenth well appeared.

The radius of the two wells extending from Well 1 to the center of Beishiling.

Because of the demonic beast, there is still some distance from the true center of the garden, but it is enough to verify the idea.

After the two wells were dug, Thorin felt it again, but the results of the induction overturned the previous conclusion.

Because according to the first inference, the mineral deposit is at the center of the circle.

However, the mine is in the center of the circle, so the 16th and 17th wells approaching inward will have a stronger induction.

But the sensitivity of the two wells is the same as that of Well 1, which makes Thorin a little confused. He can't answer this question for him with the limited prospecting experience in his life.

Surin returned to the tribe with doubts, and after questioning the guard at the gate, he found the oldest Mai Elder Lin in the tavern on the hill.

Mai Elder Lin is alone drinking wine at the mercenary stronghold, looking very comfortable alone.

Sorin is also welcome. After sitting down, he took the rest of the beer and drank it, and then he explained the process of prospecting.

"Mai Elder Lin, your prospecting experience is richer than mine. Do you know what's going on?"

Mai Elder Lin frowned, dissatisfied with Thorin drinking his wine Yes, but didn't say anything, and ordered a glass of beer before speaking slowly.

"Sorin, I have heard my grandfather talk about this situation. Either there is something special that hides the existence of the mine, or the mine is too big."

"Sure enough, there is a problem. What is the meaning of covering up, and what is the meaning of being too big?" Solin asked persistently.

"There are many ways to cover it, such as Ancient Ruins, high level magic arrays, powerful treasures, etc. You can do it, but no one will be bored to hide the iron ore. "

Mai Elder Lin took a sip of beer and continued.

"And the mine is too big, that is, the exploration wells you dig are all within the scope of the mine, so no matter how many deep wells you dig, the same degree of sensitivity.

This is not the case, and further confirmation is needed."

"Please Mai Elder Lin for advice!"

"Hehe~ it's not difficult, no matter how large the mineral deposits are, there are limits. All you need to do is to dig out the exploration well.

If the sensitivity to the mineral deposits gets weaker, it proves that you are farther and farther away from the deposits, and the size of the deposits can be inferred."

"It turns out that this is the case, how did I didn't expect!"

Patriarch Thorin slapped his hand and exclaimed excitedly.

"Thank you Elder Lin for your advice. I will arrange it now. I will take this wine."

Sorlin left the wine money on the table and turned to leave.

Three days later

The exploration wells extended along the original inner diameter line, and the No. 18, 19, and 20 wells appeared. Each exploration well One kilometer apart.

Sorlin went down the well to induce induction.

As Mai Elder Lin said, the farther you go, the weaker the induction. Facts have proved that the entire Beishiling underground is densely covered with iron ore.

There is no so-called center, because the entire Beishiling is the center.

Before Lord Odin told him that the iron ore in the Black Iron River was simply not washed down from the mountain, but in the river itself, but the water flow took away the surface of the floating soil and exposed it. It's just iron ore buried in the ground.

After clarifying the scope of the mine, the next step is to figure out the depth of the burial. This step is quite difficult, and it can’t be done by just digging a few wells.

For this situation, there are detailed operations in the Tugela-style mining method, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources and cannot be completed by a dwarf tribe.

So, Thorin came to the entrance of the Boulder Fort.

"Stone Ridge Dwarf Tribe, Thorin begged to see Sir Lord, there is an important report."

"Please wait."

A guard soldier He walked away quickly and returned quickly, "Come in, the adults are in the backyard."

Under the guidance of his servant, Thorin came to the backyard. Master Odin was cultivating archery skills.

The high level arrow skill Ice Soul Frost Feather has been cultivated by him to the final stage-the invisible arrow.

When Patriarch Thorin walked in, he saw that there was no solid ice crystal arrow on the bowstring of Master Odin, but a misty fog, emitting a light blue light loss.

After the brewing is over, Odin then raised his bow to the sky and loosened the bowstring.

Light arrow rushed into the sky at a very fast speed, and was immersed in a white cloud. Only the blue light flashed in the white cloud, but it was not clear what was happening.

"Whhhhhhhhhh finally succeeded, you come to Thorin, come and sit down."

"Yes."

Sorin did not refuse, respectfully Sitting on the stone bench next to the training field, waiting for Odin to come over.

After a while, a piece of snow fell on the stone table in front of me.

"en? It's snowing?"

Taking up this snowflake, Thorling suddenly became puzzled. It was clear that the weather was sunny, why did the World Society drop snowflakes?

The answer to him is more snowflakes.

After a while, a thin layer fell on the stone table.

"Hehe, don't be nervous, this is the change caused by the cloud head just now."

"It's the light of the lord!"

Sorlin was surprised Screaming, his face was difficult to keep calm, using an arrow to cause Celestial Phenomenon to change, which is not what an ordinary archer can do.

It can be imagined what terrifying elemental power the light loss contains just now.

Thinking of this, Thorin's face became more respectful.

"Hehe, just condensed the water vapor in the white clouds with ice elements."

Odin casually explained, "This time is this about mineral deposits?"

p>

"My lord's expectation is good. I have already explored the scope of the mine. Pretty close."

"Oh ~ talk about it."

Odin came immediately Interest.

"According to the bloodline induction and dozens of deep wells, the iron ore range extends from the Black Iron River in the south, to the nameless mountain range in the north, and black soil arable land in the east."

" Isn't this Beishiling?"

Odin frowned and said.

"Yes, the whole Beishiling underground is all iron ore!"

"Are you sure you are making a mistake?"

Facing Odin's questions , Thorin said decisively: "Because of the demonic beast, only the direction close to the endless mountain range cannot be determined. The other three directions are the accurate range.

In addition, this range is concentrated in iron ore. The area is a rich ore zone. Outside this range, there are actually iron ore deposits, but as they move away from Beishiling, there will be less and less.

Presumably even under the adults’ boulder fort, there are also iron ore deposits.

Scattered iron ore, but that's all have no mining value."

Odin nodded.

"It turns out that this is the case. This news must be kept strictly confidential. Who knows this news now."

"In addition to adults, there is also Mai Elder Lin in the tribe who knows a little bit. But not much. I just asked him for advice."

"Well, warn him, don’t let the wind leak."

"Don’t worry, sir, I will severely warn him. , I will say that there are only one or two small mines on the top of the mountain, which will not attract other people’s attention."

"Well, you are still bright, this time you will remember your great work, what can you ask for? Bring it up."

"To have this place to live is a gift from an adult, Thorin dare not ask for too much."

Odin is very satisfied with Thorin’s attitude, Thorin is a self-aware Dwarf Race leader, which is very appetizing to him.

"Since there is no such thing, please write it down first. There will be rewards for merits, and punishments for mistakes. This is the principle of my rule."

"Thank you, Sir, The gravel ridge dwarf tribe is willing to work for the adults.

I just don’t know how the adults will arrange the mining, and the subordinates should prepare in advance."

"Do not rush to mine, now smelt The workshop does not have the ability to forge products on a large scale.

Although it is profitable to sell iron ingots directly, iron ingots are no better than other things. Only Great Influence will buy this stuff. If you sell in large quantities, it will inevitably attract others. People are jealous, and it is far less convenient to sell as finished products."

"What the adults said is extremely true! Our Dwarf Race is an official ironsmith." Thorin echoed.

"Can the two hundred dwarf blacksmiths be in place?"

"It is fifty short, and I can make up in three days."

"Um , Can’t slack off, are they satisfied with the salary?"

"Satisfied! So satisfied, how many people are rushing to go, just to work in the workshop, the clansman in the tribe did not fight less Make trouble, hehe~"

Sorin said with a smile.

Because the forging skills are difficult to standardize, Odin sets a piece salary for the dwarf blacksmith. According to the different items forged, each high-quality finished product forged is a reward.

Take the currently forged farm tools as an example. A farm tool is forged with a salary of 50 Copper Coins, and a special quality inspector will verify it and store it in the warehouse.

As long as the farm tools are qualified, 50 Copper Coins will be distributed on the spot.

This kind of pay for more work, earns more money, is deeply loved by dwarf people, and those who want to earn more will voluntarily stay and work overtime.

"Very good, dwarves are born to forge equipment, but it’s a pity that your tribe population is still too small.

Thirty percent of adult males do not have the necessary defensive power. How much is left, plus when the time comes, mining must also require some manpower.

The number of people who can work in the smelting workshop is the limit of two hundred.

Just hit it.

Every dwarf forges two shovels a day. Two hundred dwarves equal four hundred shovels. This can only consume more than half a ton of iron ingots. Please know that there are refined iron ingots produced every day. Five tons, the transformation power is far from enough."

Sorlin thought for a while, and suggested: "My lord, if you don’t make weapons and equipment, it’s not too hard to make a thick shield, but It’s so heavy. Even if only one hundred sheets are produced every day, that’s enough to consume five tons of iron essence."

"Good idea, the tools in the hands of the serfs are almost the same. You can change the forged armor. The gadgets are good for sale, and the price is not low."

Sorin's proposal was accepted by Odin.

2nd day, Wien, who is in charge of the smelting workshop, received an order from Sir Lord to change the dwarves to forge armor and equipment, not limited to shields, as long as they are armors.

In addition, he ordered that when forging, a unique snowflake mark should be imprinted, which means that it is something produced by the boulder collar.

This is to shape the brand image, just like his snow ice, others will know that it is produced by the giant stone.

Once it has a good reputation, the caravan will find it on its own, and it doesn't have to bother to get involved with Ben.
