After saying this, Lin Yan focused on the copper mine and took out the various copper utensils he brought back.
The dazzling copperware attracts everyone.
Different from the thickness of iron, copper itself is golden, which wins everyone's love.
After looking around with satisfaction, Lin Yan said: "There is a copper mine in Mingwan Village. This is the copperware they smelted. It looks very nice."
Everyone nodded unanimously, no one disliked the dazzling golden light.
"This is copper ore, green and blue. It is very beautiful and has many uses. It contains a variety of metal elements. As long as it is transported back, we can extract a variety of metals. Therefore, open the road to Mingwan Village It’s imperative.”
Mrs. Shui was the first to say: "You walked for eight months to get to Mingwan Village. It's so far away and it's impossible for us to build the road."
Leng Fang: "Yes, it's too far. It's difficult to build such a road. You have to climb countless mountains and cross rivers, which is impossible. This is not going to the mines. It's only more than three hundred miles away."
Before anyone else could speak, Lin Yan hurriedly said, "What are you thinking? It's really impossible to build a road from the ground. I'm talking about walking by water."
The person who wanted to speak shut his mouth and waited for Lin Yan to continue.
"We walked all the way, memorizing the approximate directions and making notes. We speculated that Minghe River in Mingwan Village is likely to be connected to Yanghe River. Therefore, we plan to explore by water next year. If the speculation is correct, from The time from Sun City to Mingwan Village will be greatly shortened, and it will not be difficult to transport copper ore back."
Alan: "That's feasible. It's just that there won't be enough boats. We need boats to go to Wilderness City, Qingyan City, and Gray Mountain. We made another boat this year, so I'm still a little nervous."
"If we don't have enough boats, we'll build them and we won't set off until next year. From now on, let the carpentry factory work overtime, and it should be no problem to build another boat."
There was indeed no problem with building the ship, everyone agreed.
Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Leng Fang said: "The population of Mingwan Village is several times that of ours, and there is strength in numbers. Are they willing to sell the ore to us and live in peace with us?"
Although Sun City now belongs to the alliance and is not fighting alone, Yuanye City and Qingyan City are far away and are not on the right track yet. If Mingwan Village bullies others and covets Sun City, they will not be able to help. .
Lin Yan shook his head and said, "Don't worry too much about this. There are no boats in Mingwan Village, so if you want to come and attack us, you can't. They live in poverty, which is exactly when they need us."
"They are still worried about food. We can exchange the food for copper mines. Although there are many people in Mingwan Village, there is still a gap in strength compared to us. I heard that the military has expanded its recruitment. How many people are there now? people?"
Alan said: "The military headquarters recruited five hundred people this year, and sent fifty people each to Yuanye City and Qingyan City to form new teams for training in the two cities. They can also be regarded as detachments of the military headquarters."
"It's good. Each city has its own army so that it can protect its people."
After learning about some of the changes this year at the arbitration tribunal, Lin Yan reported in detail the situation of going out, focusing on Yuan Da and Yuan Er.
They are indeed very edible, and Hua Hong is right to worry. If they were raised at home, they would be eaten to pieces in less than half a month.
Alan said curiously: "We haven't seen Yuan Da and Yuan Er yet, do they really understand human nature?"
"They are so smart. They have learned simple words from following us along the way, and there is no big problem in communication. Alan, they don't want to leave, and no one can do anything about it. They have to rely on everyone to raise them."
Alan looked around and asked, "What do you think? We want to use Sun City's tax revenue to raise Ape Da and Ape Er, and everyone will take a stand?"
Seeing everyone's silence, Lin Yan kept up his efforts: "Ape Da and Yue Er are really not something that one or two families can afford to raise. In addition to being edible, they are also very good at hunting. Most of the ferocious beasts outside are afraid of them. I can take them hunting, Strive to make Yuan Da and Yuan Er self-sufficient."
"We don't understand the situation yet. We will make a decision after seeing Yuan Da and Yuan Er. Lin Yan, please bring them."
In order to provide food for Yuan Da and Yuan Er, Lin Yan had to go home. Somehow, he brought Yuan Da and Yuan Er, who were basking in the sun, to the arbitration court.
Their tall, mighty and fierce appearance attracted everyone's attention along the way.
The first reaction of many people when they see it is that when a ferocious beast enters the city, they must kill it. Lin Yan was busy smiling and explaining.
Lin Yan was relieved when he reached the arbitration tribunal. It's really not easy. They came back late yesterday, and Aru Dai and Aru Er didn't cause a sensation. They still can't escape today.
When Alan and others saw Yuan Da and Yuan Er for the first time, their fear and defensiveness were very obvious.
Lin Yan spent a lot of words to dispel their fears and asked Lan Xing to come over to talk about Yuan Da and Yuan Er's performance on the road.
After finally finishing the food for Yuan Da and Yuan Er, Lin Yan came to the laboratory.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw no one, so Lin Yan went to find Ye Cong.
"What are you busy with? I didn't see you when I came back?"
In the rush, he looked up and saw that it was Lin Yan. Ye Cong put down the things in his hands and said with a smile: "Lin Yan, you are finally back. Did you have a smooth journey?"
"You didn't know I was back just now, did you?"
"If I hadn't seen you in person, I wouldn't have known you were back. You've been busy in the laboratory recently and haven't gone home. Lin Yan, you must not have imagined what we found."
"What is it that makes you so addicted?"
Lin Yan was really curious. He hadn't seen anyone in the laboratory since he came back.
"Haha, there is a new discovery over there at Huishan. Not long after you left, Huishan sent some silver-white stones. The first thing we thought of was a silver mine. After testing, it was indeed confirmed that it was a silver mine. Silver mine. We went to Gray Mountain to see it. It is indeed a silver mine, and the reserves cannot be ascertained. There is natural silver, as well as silver-gold mines and other silver compounds. Since the discovery of the silver mine, we have been busy separating and purifying it. Want more material things.”
Lin Yan was really shocked, feeling like he was hearing hallucinations, "Are you telling the truth?"
Ye Cong nodded affirmatively, "It's all true. How dare I lie to you about such a big thing. Come and see, these are the rough stones brought back from the silver mine."
Seeing a lot of ores of various colors, Lin Yan finally had a real feeling, "That's not right. I was just in the arbitration court about such a big matter, why didn't anyone mention it?"
"Not many people know about it, so Alan told us to keep it a secret and let us study it first. We will decide how to mine the silver mine after you come back."
After carefully touching all the ores, Lin Yan became increasingly uneasy after seeing the results given by the Science and Technology Museum. This silver mine is really a treasure. It contains not only natural silver, but also several silver compounds, which are important raw materials for refining silver.
The silver-gold ore in it can not only refine silver, but also gold, which is so rare. There is also silver sulfide silverite. With these things, many chemical experiments can be done.
These are important raw materials for purifying materials and making synthetic materials. They will lead to huge breakthroughs in chemical development. It was really a joy that fell from heaven.
