Some of the nouns used in the official Qin language were not very clear to everyone. It was only when the little alchemist from Red Rock City got his hands on the real objects that he realized that they were all familiar.
Sulfuric acid, locally called clarenic acid, is mainly produced from a blue mineral, and its by-product is copper.
This kind of acid is very useful. Not only is it in high demand among alchemists, but it is also commonly used by smuggling gangs to turn some expensive materials into powder for smuggling.
Now that I know this, I now know that Fool's Gold can also produce sulfuric acid. Even a three-star alchemist can use this information to produce it.
However, depending on the productivity in the Phoenix King's territory, the alchemists can only enjoy themselves. Dozens or hundreds of them are useless. Real production depends on various furnaces and pools.
Several large companies related to Fenggu Metallurgy are still tossing around various interpersonal relationships, location selection and other troublesome matters in Fenggu, and the Hongshi City Municipal Government has sent new regulations.
The new regulations are mainly related to pollution treatment issues. It prohibits corrosive liquids from entering the river directly. It is not a big deal. It is just hiring people to dig a few more big pits. It is just that the land near the digging pits cannot be farmed in the future, which slightly affects the site selection.
The focus of big players is strange. They noticed certain words in the new regulations, such as "non-ferrous metal smelting" and "chemical industry."
I don’t know much about chemical engineering, but the idea of non-ferrous metals is very interesting.
Many common metals are silver-white or silver-gray, but there are also many in various colors, such as lead (blue-gray), copper, and gold.
Silver is not produced in the Phoenix King's territory. The non-ferrous metals here may refer to all metals except iron?
The big players didn't quite understand it, and the clerks in Red Rock City didn't understand it either. They thought it might as well be used, so they changed Fenggu Metallurgy to Fenggu Nonferrous Metallurgy, so that it wouldn't be easy to repeat the name.
The wealthy people handled things more casually, but the lords of Wind Valley felt uncomfortable.
The lord of Wind Valley is named Sylwen, and she is a rare female lord. The exile area is dominated by various mixed races. The difference between men and women is not as good as the gap between fists. Although there are few female lords with strong fists, they are by no means the only ones.
However, Sylwen's success as a lord is not based on fists, but inheritance.
The lords in the penal colony generally cannot be inherited for several generations. After all, it is a place about fists or magic.
Sylwen's strength is not bad, but her intimidation power is not as good as her father's, and many things are not done so neatly.
A few months ago, a railway was laid from the west to the north of Fenggu, and the town that had been built before that was inexplicably located right next to the railway.
During the whole process, Sylvia was like air, as if she couldn't care less!
...Well, she really can't help it.
Before the railway crossed the border, she had already sent people to follow the troops heading north to suppress the bandits. Others suppressed the bandits by discussing things, but these guys were really killing, and they didn't even stop even after some people died!
After some estimation, we were busy rebuilding after the great natural disaster. The troops in the entire Wind Valley might not be enough to suppress bandits. We can only survive by guarding the city wall.
Because the town still paid taxes to Sylvia, she thought she could bear it at first, but as time went by, she became afraid.
With refugees and surrendered bandits, the town is getting bigger and bigger. In just three months, the number of people in the town has been equal to that of Fenggu City. Counting those who walk several miles in the city to find things to do, the number of people in the town during the day There are even more people than Fenggu!
Let's fight. It's useless to vent to the small town, and you won't win if you fight with the right leader. I'm running away, but I can't bear to leave my family property.
Silwen is in a very difficult situation. Recently, she often dreams that someone comes to surrender, and the guys in the city immediately return to the opposite side, and she is dragged out and beheaded.
"This won't work. If you want to surrender, I have to surrender first!" Sylvia was frightened awake by the nightmare again, and she realized that the problem was serious.
Having said that, surrender is not an easy decision to make.
He plucked up the courage and sent someone to pretend to be a small businessman and go along the railway to find out the news. The person I found was fairly reliable, and I turned around and naturalized someone else's family after receiving the news.
You can skip the strength assessment part. The population under the opponent's rule seems to be tens or hundreds of thousands.
There are only over 10,000 people in Wind Valley City, and the power that belongs to the lord, including the cooks, is only 1,000. How can you fight against them?
Just vote and forget it.
It's not that Sylwen is too soft, but with such a huge disparity in strength, once a fight breaks out, she can only end up being beheaded in public, so the choice would be too easy.
However, we still need to discuss the conditions to see if we can continue to be Lord of Wind Valley.
The messenger used to get the other party's request quickly.
Needless to say, she was thinking about eating.
According to the other party's request, Fenggu must disarm, transfer administrative resources, abolish slavery, and return non-building land resources to the public. Only by meeting these four conditions at the same time can the other party guarantee that no one other than the most vicious people will be involved.
"Isn't this unconditional surrender?"
"Sister, let's kill her." The younger brother was beside him, trying to come up with a bad idea.
"Kill Nima, will you die for me?"
Sylwen, who has been the daughter of a lord since she was a child, does not have the courage to find a way out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood... probably not many of the first generation lords would.
The younger brother did not give up: "You can hire someone to assassinate that Phoenix King."
When Sylwen heard this, she thought it was indeed an idea. Once the Phoenix King died, they would start fighting for power among themselves, and maybe she could take advantage of the situation to take over the new town in the west.
But my life is precious and I cannot act rashly: "Be patient and wait for others to assassinate you."
The success rate of assassination is very low. Not to mention that there are several cities like the Phoenix King, uu Reading has a population of over 100,000. Even she, Lord of Wind Valley, is not that easy to assassinate. Even if you use magic to locate a specific target in an unfamiliar environment, the movement will be huge.
To ensure the success rate of assassinating such a person, you need the courage to face death and extreme strength. But with extreme strength, is it necessary to do such a job of seeking death? And whether she could find someone or not, the other party's price would definitely make her, a little Lord of Wind Valley, bleed a lot.
So let's wait for others to do this kind of thing. The railway doesn't just pass through Fenggu.
She has already found out clearly that this road will soon be built to Heishui City. Including Heishui City, it will pass through four cities in total. Most of the railway crossing points are five to ten kilometers away from the city wall. The situation here is not good, and other places are also good. Not much.
"What if they hit someone before they even think of assassinating me?"
"...I will surrender as soon as he moves his troops and won't give him a chance to attack the city wall."
"..." The younger brother felt numb, feeling that his sister was a puddle of mud and couldn't hold her up against the wall.
Of course, if he were to take her place, he would probably be killed long ago.
Not only was Sylwen trying to figure out a way out for herself, but the lords near the two stations before and after Wind Valley were also numb because of the railroad passing by.
The previous stop of Fenggu was a small mountain nest. If you call it a city, it might be more like a village. The population was less than half that of Fenggu. The new town that was born along with the railway blocked the main entrance and exit, and everyone inside wanted to eat. Look at other people's faces.
The situation at the latter station is better, with a population of almost 40,000. It is larger than the previous Red Rock City. The lord should have some resistance strength. The first two small ones now all depend on this one.
You are a genius, remember in one second: Red Oasis:
