Angel, the leader, showed a hint of surprise in his eyes after seeing George coming. When Anthony gave the order, they heard that the big boss would come, but they didn't expect it to be so soon.

After the formalities of the apprentices, Angel reported the situation.

In the past few days, they took instruments and walked the entire mining area.The data including the mining area, the distribution and content of the ore, etc., have already been collected—there is no need to release the ravens.It can be directly sent back to Anthony through the Book of Dawn.

After Anthony sent someone to sort it out, the wizards would know more about the situation than the spiders.Afterwards, the spiders will carry out the mining work more scientifically according to the plan of the wizards.

George smelled a smell of mercury from the apprentices, guessing that the exploration of these guys should be very deep.

As Hei Xin said, the goods can be shipped tonight.However, gold sand is very rare, mostly iron ore and copper ore.In addition, there are some precious ores such as fine gold.

"Girl, how is the quality of the ore here? It should be pretty good, right?" George asked, patting Angel on the head.He remembered that this little girl was Gast's daughter, and according to her seniority, she had to call him uncle.

With Anthony's strict requirements, this poor little apprentice has not yet graduated.But the achievements she has made in the western region are not as good as that of Lena - although she has used a lot of small brains.

But this lively and active girl doesn't seem to be suitable for research.So this time, George asked her to come over by name.

It's good to accompany Lorna on the road.

Angel looked at the big ore in George's hand, and said with a smile, "My lord, this gold mine in your hand looks very beautiful. But the gold that can be extracted is only a few grams at most. Its main content is copper and lead."

Angel went on to explain that “the gold content of the ore in the shallow layer of the mining area is lower, with an average of only two to three grams per ton. Moreover, after the mud is screened out, a large amount of mercury is needed to purify it, which is a negative cost.”

The corners of George's eyes couldn't help twitching.He thought the one in his hand was a dog's head gold.

It seems that the quality of mining in the early stage is indeed not very good.

"However, my lord, the situation in the deep area here is good. The associated mines of gold mines are very complete - in addition to a large amount of iron ore, there are many thick red silver, silver-antimony tetrachtolite, and arsenic-copper-silver mines. In addition, There are some 'Huiser Bismuth Ore' that can decompose Mithril and Thorium, 'Hexagonal Silver Ore' that contains Pandoran elements, and 'Needle Emerald Gold' that is most suitable for refining Eternal Gold."

Speaking of the last 'needle emerald gold', Angel took out a fist-sized ore.This ore is crystal clear and looks like emerald or emerald stone. The crystals on it stand up explosively, looking like emerald needles.Very beautiful.

"It not only contains a very high proportion of gold, but also contains a variety of high-energy precious elements such as space-time crystals and 'Andora crystals'. It ranks third among all kinds of precious minerals suitable for refining eternal gold—— Useless impurities are very easy to deal with, so there is almost no need for complicated procedures, and after adding some pure gold to adjust the ratio, it can be used for refining Eternal Gold!"

Just like the earl of 'Texa' said, this is a 'treasure cave'! "Angel smiled and showed his little canine teeth" Previously, because of the occasional underground creatures, the miners did not dare to dig deep, and the nobles occasionally obtained this mineral, and it was simply used to extract gold—but we are There is no such problem.There is no need to let these treasures go to waste. "

"On the whole, what is the gold content here?" George wanted to know an exact figure, and as far as he knew, the amount of gold needed for a magic hub would probably reach the development output of many mines for many years .The content determines the efficiency.

"The gold content of the veins in this mining area can reach 8000." Seeing George's happy face, Angel added, "[-] grams per ton."

"" The corner of George's mouth twitched, wondering if he had heard it wrong, "Angel, are you sure you used the right unit?"

"Of course there is nothing wrong with it!" Angel combed his ponytail and said, "My lord, you must not underestimate this figure, 8000 grams per ton, which is already an extremely rich amount of gold. The famous gold The mineral lode 'Dakens' has not reached this figure either. If we develop it well this year, next year our 'Eternal Gold' raw materials will basically be enough!"

George nodded after listening, and finally felt relieved this time.

He doesn't know about the gold content of Dakens, but he does know the annual output—about 3 jin of gold per year.It seems that this output is outrageously low - if you do the math, according to this productivity, tens of thousands of years will not be able to complete the amount of gold mined from the earth in the past 100 years from "modern" to "modern".

But such output is frighteningly high in this era.

Dakens can achieve such an output, the content is one reason, and the heat application of Dakens is also a reason.

It is estimated based on the content of the gold veins in the basin and the efficiency of the spiders.It should be possible to get close to Dakens - as long as the ore is transported to the shelter, the efficiency of the wizards' gold refining work is definitely higher than those of the royal nobles who guard the big treasure house but don't know how to use it.

Next year, the Sanctuary should be able to forge the first Magic Hub.

When there is no need to worry about the consumption of magic gems, Anthony has created a 'drilling machine' to cooperate with the spiders, and the output will usher in the second big explosion.

0469 The Black Technology of the Shelter - Wind Shuttle and Magnetic Shuttle

"However, with so little gold mined in the past few months, it seems that Qiongying's firearms and ammunition cannot be purchased with the gold here for the time being." George shook his head and sighed.

Originally, George planned to take some gold back to buy artillery and artillery ammunition-lead bullets, and even a small amount of silver bullets.Forging these things by himself alone, the productivity of Qiongying is a bit tight.Moreover, many firearms and ammunition in various territories of Elda are now falling to dust.The purchase cost is extremely low. If you play the card of grain trade and use some gold in advance to purchase a large amount at that cost, it will not be a problem.

Hei Xin saw the boss's mood, and reported a good news, "My lord, underground creatures have a habit of collecting. We have collected some dog head gold, gold sand and gemstones in their various lairs, and have already loaded them into the car."

"How many?" George's eyes sparkled involuntarily.

"The harvest in the lair is good. There are more than 300 magic gems together, and the total size should be more than 500 carats. In terms of gold, it is about 4 kilos."

"That's more than 100 gold bars?!"

"However, my lord," Angel said cautiously, "We still have to use these golden sands in our sanctuary."

At the beginning, Dakens exchanged more than ten years of gold production with the Forbidden Sanctuary for a small magic hub-according to Roosegaard, this magic hub 'weighs' 17 catties.

There are more than 80 tons of gold!

Anthony told himself that although the forbidden wizards squeezed out all the gold that the Rodenk royal family had saved for more than ten years, the actual manufacturing cost was less than one-fifth of it.Among them, the gold used for alchemy into eternal gold is actually more than a dozen tons.

If not enough, make smaller ones.

George didn't plan to make a small one, but it was no problem to take away a dozen gold bars as a deposit for the purchase of Qiongying firearms.

In addition, the more than 200 tons of goods include copper ore and iron ore, and a lot of lead and silver can be extracted.Both lead and silver can be used as ammunition—this time he will try to see if three pounds of silver and lead can be used to kill the Dark Demon.

After walking around the town that day, George and the others set off.

When George once again came to the glacier in the green hills, he rode Anubis and looked down on the glacier. The melted Senas River was surging in the strong wind and rain, and it was constantly slapping on the river on both sides. On the cliff.

It is now the first ten days of April, and a sudden heavy rain brought spring to the north completely.

In the precarious wind and rain, [-] huge monsters marched between the mountain walls. Their real bodies are actually not that big, what is bigger is the huge 'tent' dragged on their backs.And the shape of this tent is somewhat like a boat.And Anthony's name for these 'vehicles' is also very vivid - 'Fengxing Shuo'.

But George prefers to call them 'trailers' or 'mobile tents'.

In order to fix the 'Flying Shuttle' on Gerry Jones, it was also covered with cobwebs, tightly bound together with these big beetles.

This look looks very funny, like dung beetles carefully carrying big dung eggs, or big turtles.However, they are very dexterous between the mountain walls. It seems that if it is not because of the load, they can pass through the 90-degree mountain wall at will.

When they reached the high cliff above the river, a person dressed as an apprentice walked out of each tent.After the apprentice got off the car, he chanted a spell to release the spider web.Afterwards, under the operation of the apprentices, Feng Xingshuo unfolded the magic wind wings, was hung on his feet by these big beetles, and began to glide towards the opposite mountain wall.

George looked at these Gerry Jones and nodded secretly.

These mines are bundled in the car, and although the area occupied is small, the quality of the ore is enormous.Adding all the minerals together, each car has about ten tons!

If it is not afraid that these things will fall into the abyss because of their weight, these 'tanks' can carry them even if the vehicle is full.

Not to mention how valuable the mines inside are, just these "big trailers" are all disassembled and sold for scrap iron, and one can be sold for more than 2000 yuan (silver fox costs).

According to Anthony's data, the vehicles he built have a carrying capacity of sixty tons. When they were in the shelter, these vehicles often went back and forth between the 'Magic Spider Town' and the shelter. Iron ingots after smelting in the town!Even if they were walking on a mountain road, as long as there was an apprentice manipulating the 'wind wings' on the car, they would be able to walk on the ground while being pulled by the scarab, and turn their heads smoothly with the movement of the scarab.On particularly difficult trails, the wind wings even assist the scarab in its short flights!

However, on the way here from the gold mine in the basin, in order to help Anthony to test, George took these Gerry Jones from the mine and walked in a straight line-basically crossing mountains and cliffs, and most of them At that time, the vehicles were all tied to the scarab by the apprentices with spider webs.But their daily travel speed has reached 120 kilometers!

George "Anthony, you really have a very smart brain - although the cars look very different from the ones I drew"

Anthony: "Of course it can't be all made of steel, George, that would be too heavy! But don't worry, apart from being able to move things by itself, its carrying capacity, firmness, and flexibility are no better than the one you mentioned. 'Big Trailer' sucks."
