Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

At the foot of the Huoyaoshi Mine in Ningjing County, a group of old miners are lined up honestly at this time. They have been in the dark mine for a long time and are not quite used to the sunlight outside.

When these miners were bought back as slaves, they were still in their twenties. After ten years of mining in the mines, they were all very old.

After ten years of hard work in the mines, and they are still alive, they have already surpassed 50% of the miners.

Everyone line up, Mr. Zhang is kind, he allows you to be free, and also gives each of you a consistent money, so that you can spend your old age peacefully.

One blackwater soldier stood next to the team and yelled loudly, while the other blackwater soldier registered the name of each miner, pressed their fingerprints, and issued consistent money.

After each miner received the money, he kowtowed to the Blackwater Army with heavy copper coins.

At this time, the soldiers of the Black Water Army will tell everyone that this is a favor from Mr. Zhang.

At the same time, the miners in the mine can also take an extra day off today and go outside to bask in the sun. For them, sunshine is also a luxury.

It turns out that we can really leave freely after ten years of work. I thought I would die inside in this life.

It's not a big deal, you see there is still money to send!

One thousand Wen per person, so much money can buy several daughters-in-law.

Pull it down, you want several daughters-in-law, you have a small body, you have no flesh, you can pee on your shoes, are you still able to bear it? Don't take advantage of the old man next door.

With so much money, when the time comes, I can buy some fat to replenish my body, and I might be able to do a few more puffs.

People always need a little hope, so that they can have the courage to persevere in desperation.

Since Zhang He took over the mine, he began to weed out the old and weak miners who survived before, and gave certain financial subsidies.

For Zhang He, the money is just a drop in the bucket, but it will allow these miners to live out their old age.

At this moment, Zhu Zheng brought back a group of young and strong slaves from outside to supplement the personnel gap in the mine.

Zhu Shi is back!

A soldier greeted him immediately, and Zhu Zheng has now been promoted to superintendent, in charge of managing the fire obsidian vein.

You register these 200 people, and then send them all into the mine.

OK!

Zhu Zheng left with an order, and the soldiers led the 200 slaves to register one by one, distributed a set of tools to each of them, and sent them into the mine after a few instructions.

The 200 people were sent into the dark mine at first, and they were a little uncomfortable and a little confused.

Only one of the chunky miners was a little different. His eyes were no longer cloudy at this moment, he threw away the mining tools in his hand, and walked deep into the mine alone.

The squat miner walked alone in the mine, without lighting, but still able to move quickly through it, and when he passed some miners felt only a breeze.

After years of excavation in the pyrite mine, there are many branches.

The chunky man came to the end of a mine at this time, where the aura had become thinner, obviously this was already an abandoned mine.

After walking in vain, the short and fat man felt uncomfortable, he punched hard on the stone wall, and the stone wall collapsed immediately. The power of this punch was at least that of a foundation cultivator.

The short and fat man walked back for a mile, grabbed a miner, and tortured him. According to the miner's confession, he drew a rough map with the approximate direction of each mine road marked on it.

Is it like this?

The chunky man took the drawn map to the miner and asked him to confirm it.

Yes! Yes! That's how it looks, can I go?

The miner who was captured was trembling, and the two miners who were with him were killed by the immortal master on the spot, and he was the only one who was caught here to torture information.

Have you ever seen this kind of ore?

The chunky man took out a piece of purple-red fire obsidian. When this piece of ore was taken out, the temperature in the mine cave also increased by a few points.

No... I haven't seen it.

The miner shook his head a little confused.

The chunky man was too lazy to talk to an ant at this time, and with a wave of his palm, the miner's head was broken.

Then he randomly arrested two miners, tortured the terrain, and perfected the structure map of the entire mine.

With the topographic map in hand, the next step is to check the mines one by one.

His task this time is to find the purple red obsidian mine and find out the reserves of this mine without alarming others. Other things have nothing to do with him.

Apart from the miners, there are no other black water troops in this mine, so he can do whatever he wants.

With the speed of cultivators in the foundation building period, the exploration of a mine can be completed very quickly.

Two days later, the chunky man appeared in a hot mine.

After two days of investigation, this mine has the highest probability of hiding purple red obsidian.

He had come here yesterday for a preliminary exploration. This is a rich mine, and high-quality obsidian can be seen everywhere on the two walls of the mine.

It's just that the temperature here is too high, ordinary mortal miners can't stay here for too long, and the mine only digs a little ahead and then stops.

The short and fat man walked to the end of the mine, and the stone wall in front of him was inlaid with many pyrites, and one of them could be smashed with a pickaxe.

It's just that the temperature here is too high, even a monk like him in the late stage of foundation establishment is sweating all over his forehead at this moment, and he can't finish wiping it off.

The short and fat man could only use a shield to keep the heat out, which made him feel much more comfortable.

If this vein contains purple fire obsidian, it is likely to be in it.

The short and fat man raised a flying sword and slashed in front of him, but the rock in the vein was too hard, so he slashed more than ten feet deep, and there were a lot of gaps in the flying sword, which could no longer be used .

For the advancing distance of more than ten feet, the surroundings are still densely packed with fire obsidian, but he didn't find any of the purple red fire obsidian he was looking for.

The short and fat man looked at the stone wall in front of him, he could only put away the flying sword in his hand, and took out a ground escape talisman.

The price of this earth escape talisman is not cheap, and it can only be made by monks who can use the earth escape technique. It is very difficult to get it, and he only got two pieces in total.

Using the Earth-Escape Talisman can make you have the ability to escape the Earth for a short time.

The short and fat man slapped the earth escape talisman on his chest, and instantly a yellow light enveloped him in it.

Then he slammed his head against the cave wall in front of him, and his whole body disappeared into the stone wall.

Protected by yellow light outside his body, the short and fat man swims among the rocks as freely as a fish in water.

He went straight along the pyrite veins, and the temperature of the densely packed pyrites he saw along the way was getting higher and higher.

The protective shield he sacrificed at the beginning could no longer protect him. Fortunately, before coming, the elders of the clan had given him a magic weapon refined from the thousand-year-old black ice—the black ice umbrella.

As soon as this magic weapon was sacrificed, the surroundings of the body were immediately enveloped in a coolness.

But this coolness couldn't last long, as he continued to move forward, it started to get hotter and hotter.

With the Xuanbing Umbrella Magical Artifact, he still felt parched, as if he was in an oven.

However, he didn't back down because he had already seen hope, and now there were some purple lines on the fire obsidian that he could see.

I believe that if you go further, you will be able to see the real purple fire obsidian.

However, there are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have misfortunes and blessings. Although the magic weapon of the mysterious ice umbrella refined by the thousand-year-old black ice is good, it is not a magic weapon after all.

Crack!

Cracks began to appear on the Xuanbing Umbrella, and quickly spread to the surroundings.

not good!

The short and fat man turned pale with fright, and immediately turned back and walked back.

It's just that it was too late, the Xuanbing Umbrella was already covered with cracks, and it finally collapsed with a click.

Ahhh...

Following the shattering of the Xuanbing Umbrella, in the depths of the mine vein, there was a scream, and finally calmed down, leaving only a charred corpse in place.

As time goes by, tens of thousands of years later, this charred corpse may become a fossil, or it may become a precious specimen for the study of ancient humans.

At the moment when the short and fat man died, in the distant territory of Wu Kingdom, Fan Family Ancestral Hall, there was a large hall of hundreds of square meters, and countless flickering lights were enshrined in the main hall.

Suddenly, the flame of one of the lamps flickered and disappeared instantly.

Not good, Fan Xian is dead, you continue to guard here, I will report to the elders.

A guard on duty trotted out of the ancestral hall.

Report to Elder Jing that Fan Xian's soul lamp has gone out.

Well, I see, let's back down.

Elder Jing, who was meditating inside, had a calm tone and didn't feel too surprised, with a slightly disappointed expression on his face.

After the people had retreated, Elder Jing said to himself: It seems that the establishment of the foundation is still too weak, that's all, let's send a Jindan to investigate.

Elder Jing muttered to himself, and sent out a message talisman to fly into the distance.

………………

Zhang He didn't know anything about what happened in the fire obsidian mine. He has returned to Ningjing County from Dadu.

At the moment, Huya is leading a tour of the newly built steelmaking plant.

For the convenience of transportation, the steelmaking plant was built directly next to the iron mine.

Look, son, this is a large steelmaking furnace, and the fuel used is coal.

This steelmaking furnace is a super-large magic weapon, engraved with 36 formation runes, which are used to control the temperature of the furnace fire, and purify and remove impurities.

Huya enthusiastically introduced the entire steelmaking process to Zhang He. The steelmaking method here is completely different from the earth's technology, and it is a completely different path.

Use formations and some means of refining and refining to refine iron ore into steel.

In this building connected to the steel-making furnace, more than 1,000 spirit-gathering arrays are arranged inside, which are connected together to form a super-large spirit-gathering array, which provides spiritual power to the steel-making furnace through rune connections.

These more than 1,000 spirit gathering arrays are all independent structures. If some of the arrays are broken, it will not affect the normal operation of the steelmaking furnace.

Zhang He had already noticed that spiritual energy was constantly gathering in the sky above this super-large spirit-gathering array.

After that, Huya led Zhang He to inspect the iron mine.

The location of this iron mine is relatively shallow, and it can be mined directly in the open pit without digging a hole.

The mining method is still relatively primitive, which is to first use gunpowder to blow it up, and then hire a large group of miners, knock it with a pickaxe, pick it up with your hands, and lift it with a wooden frame. side.

The only more advanced aspect may be the zombie car that carries ore.

There is a section of road between the mine and the steelmaking furnace. In the absence of large-scale machinery and equipment, moving iron ore back and forth every day is also a large project, enough to vomit blood to death for a large number of miners.

In addition, transporting coal from other places to the steel factory also requires a large group of zombies to pull carts.

Zombies remained an indispensable means of transportation until trains were created.

In Heishui County, there are still a large number of working zombies.

This time, 10,000 zombies were specially transferred from Heishui County to run a steel factory.

These zombies screamed, and happily pulled up the cart and ran back and forth on the path, rolling up clouds of smoke and dust.

Sometimes they run too happily and cannot stop the car, and they will fall into the tumbling steelmaking furnace together with the zombie car and iron ore, becoming a small part of impurities in the steel.

Zombies do the heaviest get off work during the day, and they only need to be fed some withered grass stained with pig blood every day after work.

As a big project, the steel factory still employs thousands of workers besides zombies.

More than a thousand of them were specially recruited from Heishui County.

Because the new generation of young people in Heishui County all come out of schools, are educated and can read, and when it comes to some more complicated operations, it is easier for people with a certain cultural foundation to understand.

At present, this steelmaking furnace can produce an average of 2,000 jin of steel per day. Although it is still far behind the steelmaking furnaces on earth, it was considered very advanced in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Moreover, the quality of the steel produced is much better than that of iron produced by local methods.

If it is used to make swords, it should be comparable to those hundred forged swords.

After the railway is completed in the future, it can be transported to other places for sale.

In the world of ordinary people, salt and iron are the two most expensive resources, as long as one of them is mastered, it represents a lot of wealth.

Young master, this steelmaking furnace is only the first one, and it is considered experimental. We are now planning to build the second steelmaking furnace.

Hmm! You did a good job. Zhang He patted Huya on the shoulder with certainty.

However, your main task is to do research, and for the follow-up preparation work, you only need to leave a few people here to be responsible for guidance.

You have more things to do, such as large transport vehicles made of steel.

For example, the production of spiritual tools, or a little more long-term, spiritual cannons, flying boats and even flying warships...

Hearing Zhang He mentioned this, Huya's eyes became brighter and brighter, his hands clenched into fists, and he was uncontrollably excited.

Studying the top technology in the world of cultivating immortals and refining the most colorful treasures in the world of cultivating immortals, this is the life he wants.

Okay! I'm going to organize the manpower now! I promise to see our transport vehicle running soon.

After Huya said goodbye, he hurried to greet the staff.

For those who like to engage in technology, being able to devote themselves to their favorite career is the greatest satisfaction.

It doesn't even matter if it's money or not, it's purely a hobby!
