"Ah!" The little prince rubbed the tip of his nose which was originally white, and a small piece of red was pressed against the tip of his nose, making his delicate face even more lovely.
At least Green thinks so.
Chu An didn't notice the strange kindness in the eyes of the guard captain behind him.
He fell into a state of ecstasy after noticing how big the entire iron mine was. The iron mine they had just passed through the exile gathering place outside the forest to check was just ordinary iron mine, but the iron mine they saw now was Child of Destiny Forged in the line of the Uzi mine that their enemies called the god-forged knife.
In fact, the Damascus knives produced in modern times are just the same as the ancient crafts, but the steel used is not the Uzi steel used in Damascus knives in the narrow sense. The mines that produce Uzi steel have been completely exhausted in modern Africa.
The weapons made of Utz steel, such as Tang Dao and Damascus Dao, are famous in ancient history.
Chu An turned to Green and proposed to start mining, but Green gave him a head-on blow.
"Actually, Your Highness, we don't have so many people." Green looked at His Highness's disappointed eyes, and he really couldn't bear it, but the guards he could call out were already the limit of the elves.
Only then did Chu An wake up from the previous state of ecstasy. There is also a reason why the elves have the reputation of being elegant, beautiful and noble in the outside world.
Their population is really too small.
Elves are long-lived species, and it seems that what God gave them when they created everything in the world will take away from them. Elves have a lifespan of thousands of years, but the number of elves born is really worrying.
And the only elf born in these years is the little prince.
The system silently called the captain of the guard: Good job, let me say a little more, it's best to dispel his idea of asking you to forge iron.
But Chu An obviously wouldn't give up on such a trivial matter, and the group of wandering dwarves and humans on the outskirts of the forest suddenly broke into Chu An's mind.
So after looking for ore, today Captain Green received a second order that baffled him.
"Green, please bring food with your team members and go find those fugitives outside the forest." The little prince put away his lost expression, raised his little golden head and said very seriously.
'It's up to you whether you can bring the miners back, Green. ' Chu An thought.
-------------------------------------
On the outskirts of the forest, a dwarf in tattered clothes dragged a lame leg and walked unsteadily to a one-armed old man.
"Old John, how is the roasting of this chicken?" The dwarf sat down next to the old man unceremoniously, and began to salivate at the chicken on the grill. This is a rare delicacy he got this month. In the outskirts of the forest, although you can't die of hunger, you can't get enough to eat.
"There are still 3 minutes." The old man shook his hand on the roast chicken and said calmly.
Dwarf Buck looked at the dancing flames, and his thoughts flew back to the past.
At that time, the dwarf country had not been broken by the human empire, and he was just an ordinary dwarf apprentice working in a workshop.
At that time, he felt that he was underappreciated and complained about God and his fate, but the war made his life slide directly into hell.
He who was just an ordinary dwarf civilian became a slave. Perhaps he should be thankful that his companions who usually don't pay attention to fine craftsmanship don't know where they have gone.
But he really couldn't bear the life of always worrying about whether his head would fall off the next day.
So he chose to flee.
Having been fortunate enough to forge weapons for the elves, he knows that the periphery of the elves is definitely a paradise for fugitives. Humans still give face to the elves. The human empire will turn a blind eye to the fugitives who fled to their territory, while the elves They don't care that these poor people on the outskirts of the forest even occasionally put some fruit or food.
The elf forest is so big, with the population of elves, the central area of the elf forest alone is enough to feed them.
Not to mention these guys with long ears, who are favored by the tree of life like sweethearts, throwing a seed at will can grow a lot of food.
Buck occasionally wondered whether it was because of such abundant resources and the favor of the tree of life that the elves grew up in such a way that they never smoked.
But those elves were not purely good-tempered. He once saw an elf throw human fugitives who broke into the depths of the forest to the adventure union.
Although he was not a good person and even exchanged a lot of money in the adventure union, the indifference on that elf's beautiful and cold face still made him shiver.
"The roast chicken is ready." Buck recovered from the memories, and he threw a chicken leg to Old John as usual.
Old John was also polite, took the chicken leg with his one arm and gnawed it directly, and the pendant around his neck swayed with his movements.
He didn't know about Old John's past. He didn't know how such a man who could tell how long the fire had been extinguished by touching the embers of the fire fell into this desolate state.
But he will not ask, this is the rule among fugitives.
Just like they never asked Buck how a dwarf escaped the slave traders all over the country and escaped here. Dwarves have been a hot commodity in recent years.
Buck went back to his small shack made of branches and leaves as usual, and nested in it.
Just when he thought that today passed as usual, the sound from the depths of the elf forest made him raise his head vigilantly.
Following the sound, what appeared in front of the exiles was a group of tall elves with stern faces.
Buck also found in it the elf who had thrown a human exile to the Adventurer's Guild.
Green didn't know that there was a dwarf who remembered how he threw the exile to the adventure union. In fact, he didn't understand what the little prince wanted to do until he received all the orders from the little prince.
But none of the guards objected, even if it would admit the exiles to the elves' territory.
"What bad thoughts can His Highness have?"He is only 50 years old. '
Green didn't know that his current thoughts laid the foundation for his busy days that hit the back of his head. At this time, he naively thought that the little prince was just having fun.
Green looked at the exiles in front of him, and motioned for the team members to put down the food bags on the horses and open them.
"Good afternoon, exiles, the elves need to hire a group of miners. This is prepaid employment money. I originally planned to use copper coins, but I think you should want these foods more." Green pointed to the food pockets that had been put down. Said.
No one spoke at first, the exiles vigilant, tortured by the hostility of the world in their fugitive life.
Buck swallowed his saliva, summoned up the courage to go forward and began to ask: "My... my lord, how much do we have to pay to get such a bag of food?"
Green had to bend his neck to see the dwarf: "Rarely, work for about a week, 8 hours a day is enough, but only if you reach the minimum guaranteed mining amount for the day."
Green said a number.
Buck couldn't believe such a benevolent condition, and now working outside, if you don't work 12 hours a day, the boss won't even give you a copper.
In fact, Chu An's original condition was to work for 5 days and rest for [-] days. Green almost thought that His Royal Highness wanted to keep them as pets. Green persuaded him for a long time and even invited the elders to let Chu An change the condition to the current one. .
Buck was dazzled by this condition, he didn't even want to ask other questions, and went directly to sign up.
"Please rest assured, I swear in the name of the tree of life, this job is not life-threatening, as long as you don't go to dangerous places." One of the team members explained when registering the exiles.
The one-armed old man also stepped forward to make a registration. Green was not surprised. There were not many old, weak, sick and disabled people who came to register, but there were also many.
These people can be assigned to logistics, cooking and laundry, and someone has to take care of the miners. Elves obviously don't do these things.
The first batch of exiles have been registered, and the rest are either watching or have jobs in the town.
Green didn't care about those who stayed. He counted the number of people and found that there were already several hundred people, enough for His Royal Highness to mine.
The exiles followed the elves on horseback in a single file, and walked into the depths of the forest that they had never approached.
Half a month later
Chu An watched with satisfaction as batches of ore were dug out and sent to the crushing trough, where they were crushed bit by bit with hammers by the workers standing aside, and then sent into the blast furnace he had just built.
Speaking of this blast furnace, if the dwarves hadn’t discovered dolomite during mining, this blast furnace would not have been able to be built. Although most of the indigenous methods of steelmaking during the large steelmaking period failed, the indigenous method of smelting based on the failure experience Steel under the right conditions is definitely much faster than the ancient method of steelmaking.
Chu An recalled the process of building the blast furnace and twitched the corners of his mouth.Building a blast furnace first requires tar dolomite bricks, and firing tar dolomite bricks requires dolomite, a refractory brick kiln, and asphalt, and refractory bricks require a brick kiln dedicated to firing refractory bricks, and a brick kiln for firing refractory bricks requires another kiln, um Now Chu'an has three brick kilns, and asphalt needs to be coked by local methods...
This is simply a series of nesting dolls. If it weren't for Chu An's men who had just been sent by Green to send a group of workers, he himself didn't know when he would get them.
However, as the saying goes, sharpening a knife is not the same as chopping firewood. Once the blast furnace is built, the speed is much faster. You must know that even the low blast furnace that looks quite backward in the world of Chu’an can smelt five tons of steel per day, let alone enter The Zhengzhou method of the local ironmaking textbook.The crushed iron ore goes into the blast furnace for smelting, and after the pig iron comes out, workers are asked to fry some of the pig iron into mature iron in batches, and finally it is the forging stage.
Even ordinary elves cannot enter the forging room at this stage, only the guards and elders can enter.
The guards are mainly responsible for forging iron, and Chu An directs the guards to build pig iron and wrought iron overlappingly. The tall elf wields a hammer and hits the steel embryo one by one. The elegant and beautiful face and the movements when forging form a A beauty of contrasts.
System: My originally beautiful elf...
After calming down the delirious system that was rushing at him, Chu An was actually a little surprised. What he didn't know was that the guards immediately went to the dwarf to learn the art of blacksmithing after knowing that his little prince was going to mine. Work, relying on the strong learning ability and the unique experience of the longevity species, under the leadership of Captain Green, the guard team quickly mastered the blacksmithing skills within a week.
And Buck, who was about to be emptied, returned to the dormitory between him and Old John in a trance, holding a large bag of food given by the elves and facing the envious eyes of the people around him. Into the cupboard.
Old John was found to be very sensitive to temperature by Chu An who came to inspect when he was working in the kitchen. After the test, Old John got a job as a blast furnace temperature inspector. In order to ensure his safety, every time he went to do a temperature inspection , will be accompanied by security personnel.
Old John has adapted very well to this job, and he really likes this job where he can rely on his own ability to make ends meet.
"I'm not old enough to need pity from others to live." Old John's wrinkled face was full of hope for the future.
The elders came partly because of curiosity, and partly because they wanted to stop Chu An. After finding out that the brick kiln was built by Chu An himself, the elders unanimously decided to be optimistic about their little Highness. 50-year-old Chu An is indeed still a baby.
Chu An was stopped behind by the elders together, and he was not allowed to approach the anvil that was being forged. He was a little helpless. The brick kiln was because there was no such kind of brick kiln in this world, so he had to do it himself, and he did not want to forge iron. Not good at other than providing directions, he will not make trouble, but obviously, the elders don't believe it.
However, as the steel sword gradually took shape, the elders went up to try to forge iron with their own hands, and Chu An was able to appreciate the gradually emerging patterns of the Bailian steel sword from the nearest safe distance.
The first Hundred Steel Sword was officially released on the second day.
Green's cheeks were flushed by the fire, which added a touch of color to his stern face, which was very eye-catching in the sun.
Excitement flashed in his eyes, and the hundred-refined steel sword in his hand swung at the saber originally made by the dwarf master, and the saber broke in response.
This represents a new phase in the arms revolution throughout the world.
At least Green thinks so.
Chu An didn't notice the strange kindness in the eyes of the guard captain behind him.
He fell into a state of ecstasy after noticing how big the entire iron mine was. The iron mine they had just passed through the exile gathering place outside the forest to check was just ordinary iron mine, but the iron mine they saw now was Child of Destiny Forged in the line of the Uzi mine that their enemies called the god-forged knife.
