Datang Live Room

Master Lao Deng and his people arrived in Wendeng County in just two days.

County magistrate Yu Chang also had no objection.

First, my father and Yan Kai have a good relationship.

Secondly, who doesn’t know the relationship between Yan Kai and the governor of Dengzhou?

So after Master Lao Deng arrived, he directly asked people to collect materials from the local area and began to prepare for the construction of the mine.

The gold veins in this area are relatively shallow, so mining is actually not that difficult.

What is more troublesome is how to transport the ore down the mountain.

If you use donkeys, mules and other animal power, the pulling time will be long, not to mention the pulling distance.

"Master Lao Deng, what do you think about using a mine cart here?"

Yan Kai thought about the mine carts he had seen in those adventure movies in the past.

"Ore cart?" Master Lao Deng looked at the schematic diagram of the mine cart that Yan Kai drew on the sand with stones.

"But what if this mine cart goes uphill?" Master Lao Deng looked at the way down the mountain.

Although it is said to be downhill, there are still uphill roads in some places.

"If the slope is not big, you can use inertia to rush up." Yan Kai used a few branches to build a simple track, and then used a stone to indicate it.

"But if the slope is too steep, it may require manpower or animal power to pull it up."

After Tang Ping finished speaking, he looked at Master Lao Deng with hope: "What do you think?"

As a result, Master Lao Deng shook his head and refused.

"The road down the mountain is almost ten miles. How long do you need to build the track?" He said with some heartache: "How much iron do these tracks need? You also have to make a mine cart, and how much iron do you need?"

"And what you are pulling is gold, not iron or copper, but gold!"

"They say money moves people's hearts. Your mine cart is so small, even if it has two guards inside, it would only need two guards at most. What if a bandit robs you on the way?"

Yan Kai didn't expect this to happen.

After thinking about it carefully, Master Lao Deng said that it is true. Not only is this laborious, but the safety is not guaranteed.

I did take it for granted.

"Then Master Laodeng, do you have any ideas?"

Master Lao Deng thought for a moment and said, "Why bother? To build a road down the mountain, doesn't the imperial court also want to mine here? We will transport it there then, and we can all go down the mountain together through the road."

"To transport gold mines like this, there must be a large team of people following it, and ordinary people would not dare to make mistakes."

Yan Kai scratched his head. He asked himself to open the mine just to avoid the eyes and ears of the court.

If you mix these things together and pull them down the mountain, it will be clear at a glance how much you have earned.

He said to Master Lao Deng: "Then I'll think about it again."

I walked to the side and looked at the way down the mountain. It seemed that there was really no good way!

However, he still planned to ask his million-headed military advisor.

As soon as I talked about the matter, there were all kinds of ideas in the live broadcast room.

"The anchors are all burnt. Get the internal combustion engine out. Then the entire internal combustion engine fleet will go down the mountain!"

"Or get a train to pull the ore!"

"Didn't Zhuge Liang invent the wooden stream cow and horse? The anchor went to find the blueprints and used the wooden stream cow and horse to transport it!"

"I see there is water in the mountains. Let's open a river and take the water route."

It can only be said that these dog-headed strategists have quite a lot of brains, but none of them can be used now.

"Anchor, look at me!" Someone sent a picture to Yan Kaifa. The picture showed a photo of him riding a cable car up a mountain.

"As you go down the mountain, each one is hundreds of meters apart. Can you use a similar zip line to hang a basket and slide down?"

"You don't need to put too much into a basket, just a few dozen kilograms. Then you can find someone to transport the empty basket back to the mountain. Can it be used again and again?"

After hearing this, Yan Kai felt that it made sense.

I quietly put the drone out to take a look, and the more I looked at it, the more interesting it became.

This mountain road goes down for more than ten miles, which is almost a few kilometers.

But if you use a zipline to go straight down from here to the county town below, there are several hills in the middle.

From one hilltop to another, it only takes a few hundred meters of zipline.

If the relay continues, five or six hills will be enough.

At that time, it will be enough to set up a camp on each hilltop and station thirty or forty fully armed soldiers.

As for the middle part, the zipline slid down in the air, and no one unexpectedly stopped it.

Yan Kai went to Master Lao Deng with some excitement and told him his new idea.

Master Lao Deng asked doubtfully: "There is no problem with this method, but the zipline in the middle may not be easy to build!"

Yan Kai smiled mysteriously and said: "I will find someone to build this, there will be no problem."

It is several hundred meters long and can bear tens or hundreds of kilograms of weight. It may be difficult to build such a zipline in Datang.

But as far as modern industry is concerned, don’t be too simple!

Many steel cables can meet this requirement.

Yan Kai just asked other craftsmen to design a basket to carry the gold mine down the mountain.

When the ore comes down the mountain, it is taken back to Kuoding County by horse-drawn carriage from the official road.

Since Yan Kai said he could solve the cable problem, Master Lao Deng started to lead people to build the brackets one by one.

This thing is not too difficult, it took some time to build the bracket.

Yan Kai also brought the cable.

After asking the craftsmen to install it, I first tried it by loading stones in a hanging basket.

The main problem is that the impact force after sliding down is a bit strong, and the hanging basket is easy to break.

Yan Kai asked someone to place a wooden stake on the other end of the zipline and wrap it with a thick cotton bag.

In this way, the hanging basket will not be easily damaged if it hits it.

At this time, Chu Suiliang also came, along with the two thousand troops and some craftsmen assigned to him by Li Shimin.

The area where Yan Kai first discovered the gold mine was allocated to Yan Kai, and Chu Suiliang took people to other places where Yan Kai said there were mines.

Of course Yan Kai would not fool them. Gold mines were found in several places that day, but the quality was different.

There are also some that are slightly further away from Wendeng County.

But with the imperial court behind us, these problems are not a problem.

Chu Suiliang directed the establishment of mines first, and at the same time began to continuously build roads.

Yan Kai didn't care about them. With the decree, it was natural for him to dig here.

The excavated ore was sent down the mountain, and after a cart's worth of it was stored, he took his people back to Kuoding County.

After being out for a few days, Yan Laoer kept thinking about the crops in his field.

Aunt Yan and the others also want to go back.

After entering the county town, Yan Kai asked his family to go home first, and he continued to follow the truck pulling the gold mine to the industrial zone.

An alchemy workshop has been built in advance in the past few days.

That's right, that's the name: the No. 1 Alchemy Workshop in Kuoding County of the Tang Dynasty.

He caught Chu Suiliang and asked him to write the words. He made a sign and hung it at the door.

Yan Kai opened the live broadcast room and said with a smile: "Today, I will show you alchemy!"
