Chapter 236 World (3)

The Winter Wolf Empire, in the Bolden Grand Canyon in the province of Akasha.

Decades ago, it was just a piece of wasteland, with only those mountains with extremely barren land and the Gobi Desert where there was no human habitation.

The environment here is extremely harsh and lacks water, and the dry weather makes this place a desert of life.

But since more than 30 years ago, a geological exploration team accidentally discovered a black stone vein with rich reserves here, and it became easy to get here.

Relying on those blackstone veins with extremely gratifying reserves, the empire began to plan to mine the blackstone mines here. At the same time, a series of living facilities were built one by one, and even around these veins, a scale was built here. A small city.

Mining machines as high as [-] meters, giant mining trucks, and various complex and sophisticated detection instruments have become the main theme here.

The entire empire, from the emperor at the highest level to the generals in the military department, all attached great importance to this place.

Here, there is no exaggeration at all for five steps and one post, and ten steps and one post.

After all, in that era, black stone represented wealth, and it had a price that was several times or even dozens of times more expensive than gold. Every black stone that appeared on the market was the target of major companies.

However, blackstone has always been a scarce resource firmly in the hands of governments around the world, and it is even more precious than natural energy sources such as oil and natural gas.

After all, there are far more oil and gas fields that can be found in the world than the Blackstone veins.

Until today, the number of blackstone veins that can be found around the world is only double digits.

This even more represents the preciousness of Black Stone.

Enterprises capable of owning and using Blackstone are all giants in a certain field, and even have government support behind them.

Of course, Blackstone's technology has always been a secret tightly held by major companies.

This means that whenever there is a product with the name of Black Stone on the market, it must be extremely expensive, but the effect must be excellent.

For example, prosthetic limbs cast with black stone, CNC machine tools cast with black stone powder, and various large-scale medical equipment, these are the top industrial products of various enterprises.

Just such a black stone vein can maintain the survival and construction of a city.

But after more than 20 years, as the black stone veins gradually dried up, the place became barren again.

The once prosperous city has become only a few old, weak and sick people who can't walk.

And the housing prices here have also reached a new low in the entire empire.

After all, there used to be hundreds of thousands of people working around this black stone vein, just the miners, not to mention the people who built other industries around these miners.

At its peak, the population here once reached a huge scale of one million.

But how prosperous it is, how barren it will become afterwards.

The poor mountains and bad water here are a hell for the agricultural planting industry. Because of the lack of water, there will be no factories here.

This also led to the loss here.

It is precisely because of this that the only black stone vein in the Winter Wolf Empire has been exhausted, which has forced the Winter Wolf Empire to set its sights overseas.

Compared with the poverty of domestic black stone veins, those resources abroad are relatively rich.

And more than a year ago, another backpacker accidentally picked up a small black stone while taking photos here.

And such a piece of news spread like wildfire, and even got the attention of Akasha provincial government officials after it was spread.

Ever since, the members of the scientific expedition team came back here again with huge engineering vehicles. They wanted to continue digging inside the mine to see if there were any remains of the black stone.

At this time, although the imperial city of the empire has also been destroyed, and the regime of the entire empire has also collapsed and separated, for the members of these scientific expedition teams, they are not affected much.

Because the entire Akasha Province is the territory of Prince Snow.

Before that, Prince Snow had already made preparations to face the war, and the entire Akasha province faced the destruction of the imperial city, and it was just passed on as news.

And the work of these exploration workers in the Bolden Grand Canyon was not affected in any way.

At this time, it was in a mine in the deepest part of the Grand Canyon.

Dozens of workers are constantly debugging a huge square machine.

A man with a long beard looked at the parameters on the machine, and after he finally adjusted them, he turned around and said to the people behind him: "I have finished debugging here, and I can start anytime...Roz, Are you okay there?"

A man with a beard also raised his head and nodded: "It's done!"

Immediately, everyone else said that they had finished their work.

After hearing a series of reports, the bearded man nodded with satisfaction and started the machine instantly.

The rapid and violent drill bit immediately drilled into the soil, and countless soil was swept out from it, splashing dozens of meters away.

In such a mine, such a big movement is as violent as detonating a pack of explosives.

Suddenly, the mud wall in front of him collapsed for no reason.

The bearded man looked at the people around triumphantly: "Look at what I said, that's right! This is the weakest part of the wall, you still don't believe it!"

The others ignored him, but looked at the place revealed after the mud wall collapsed with shock on their faces.

It was a tree-shaped object about two meters high, and its whole body was made of a material like black marble, with a dreamlike luster flowing from top to bottom.

These prospectors knew very well what this luster and color represented. If nothing else happened, the material that made up this tree must be black stone.

But they are also very aware of the physical properties of the black stone. The material of the black stone is not as hard as it seems on the surface, but it can be turned into powder almost easily.

And regardless of any super glue or other casting techniques, it is impossible to mix the black stone powder into a ball, from powder to a complete piece.

The black stone that has turned into powder will always only appear in powder form.

In the industry, the smelting methods for black stones are almost extremely unified, and they all use powder metallurgy technology.

So for such a tree-like object that seems to be cast from black stone, they don't believe that it is something that can be made by humans.
