Super Chief
Chapter 32: Hematite
Shi Xiong can even feel the contemptuous eyes of those bull demon kings, which makes Shi Xiong feel a little uncomfortable in his heart!
"Small, now Grandpa is going to be busy with business, wait for a while to finish the business and then tidy up!"
Even Shi Xiong didn't notice it, as if his temper was becoming more and more different now. Don't look at the stone bear in the previous life with a "bear" in its name, but this guy's temperament is still acting without the shadow of a "bear".
The stone bear in the previous life has gradually become a complete otaku since he joined the work. In addition to going to work every day, he spends almost all his spare time in the rental house. Even when the unit raised internal funds for welfare housing, his quota was squeezed. But even if he was bullied like this, Shi Xiong didn't care much. If it wasn't for the leader to really think this guy was too stubborn, and eventually he was promoted to the rank of associate researcher, Shi Xiong is still a stubborn bullied.
From this situation, the name Shixiong is really correct. This guy is really a "bear". In the native dialect of the local people, it is called "the bear is home"...
But after passing through this era and being attached to the silly head, perhaps affected by the original character of the silly head, the weakness in Shi Xiong's temper is slowly disappearing at this time. It's just that he himself hasn't noticed it yet.
Yeniu Mountain is composed of five small hills with a height of one hundred and ten meters. The widest place in the north and south is more than ten miles wide, but it stretches for more than fifty miles from east to west. Because Bison Mountain is actually a fold mountain, there are many valleys.
The place the grey moose said was located at the foot of a valley in the middle of Bison Mountain. When Shi Xiong and the others came to this valley along the pass of Bison Mountain, even Shi Xiong boasted that they had seen many beautiful scenery in their previous lives. , He couldn't help but sighed sincerely at the valley in front of him.
This valley is almost 500 meters wide and seven or eight miles long. The entire valley is full of weeds that are mostly people tall. The hillsides on both sides of the valley are full of tall trees. Hundreds of bison are looming in the weeds. , Everything seems so harmonious and peaceful.
If it weren’t for the hills on both sides of the valley, it’s a bit short. It would be pretty good to regard this as a tribal base.
The bison in the valley and the bison outside the valley are of the same virtue. Seeing these three weak two-legged monsters enter their territory, these bisons just glanced at them and ignored the three two-legged ones. Weird, this made Shi Xiong's mood even more uncomfortable.
The words of the grey moose attracted the mind of the stone bear: "Guardian, at the foot of the mountain across the valley, we hunted in this valley that year, and we were at the foot of the mountain when we were resting. The situation there is as you said. Like that, there are fewer trees and grass."
rode a horse quickly across the valley, led by the gray moose to the foot of the mountain.
As the gray moose said, the vegetation at the foot of this mountain is indeed different from other places. In this area about one mile long and forty to fifty meters wide, there are very few weeds or trees, and in some places even weeds are not long.
If this valley is the head of a person with thick hair, then this area is like a bald spot!
The most important thing is that this piece of ground shows a dark red color, as if there had been a huge massacre here, and the color formed after blood infiltrated the soil.
With colors and vegetation, even if Shixiong’s IQ drops to the level of a silly head again, he can tell at a glance that this area should indeed be a very shallow hematite mine!
This discovery made Shi Xiong overjoyed.
This is hematite, it can be said that it is the most suitable iron ore among all iron ore. Although magnetite is better, it is not easy to be reduced, and the resources of magnetite are relatively small. As for limonite, that thing is synonymous with low-grade lean ore, and limonite also contains a lot of impurities, which is very troublesome to smelt.
Later generations of Australia and Brazil's iron ore, mostly high-grade hematite!
No wonder people later called the Appalachian Mountains "Baoshan." This mountain range that stretches for more than 3,000 kilometers is indeed a treasure mountain.
Only within a radius of less than ten kilometers from the Gaoshu tribe, kaolin, hematite, limestone and a more precious salt mountain were discovered! Although the coal mine is far away, it is not an insurmountable difficulty.
This is not Baoshan and what is it?
You must know that the area where the Gaoshu tribe is located is already in the southern part of the Appalachian Mountains, but the mineral resources here are still so rich! If it is in the north, where resources are more abundant, there is really coal and iron everywhere!
Although Stone Bear also admired the coal and iron resources in the northern Appalachian Mountains, he knew that he could never occupy the rich northern part with his current strength. Not to mention the high tree tribe, even if the entire Cherokee is united, whether it can beat the Iroquois Alliance in the north is a big problem.
The entire Cherokee tribe was ousted by the Iroquois and Delawares joining forces!
"Guardian, guardian, is this the iron ore you said?" The gray moose saw the stone bear standing there blankly without saying a word, so he cautiously greeted him.
The words of the gray moose woke Shi Xiong from his contemplation. He looked back at the nervous gray moose and smiled slightly: "Uncle gray moose, you really did meritorious service this time. That's right, there is iron ore in this area. , And it’s still high-grade hematite! With these iron ore, our tribe will be able to use weapons made of steel next year, and our tribe’s people will no longer have to trade precious furs for those Vasichus. It’s a wok, because next year, we will be able to build our own wok!"
"Is this true? Master Guardian?" The beard on the gray moose's excited chin was trembling slightly, and even honorifics were used.
Shi Xiong gave this forty-year-old "old man" a sure nod, "Yes, Uncle Grey Moose, with this iron mine, and the things we found in the morning, wait to bring these things back. Horde, we can start smelting steel. By next year, you may be able to grab a steel knife made of stainless steel or long hair!"
"The great sun **** is here! We can take on weapons made of steel!" The gray moose knelt down to the southern sky with excitement, and began to pray sincerely. For this kind of veteran warrior, weapons made of steel are undoubtedly something as important as life.
