Chapter 266 Discovery of Tungsten Mine

Jia Zhengjin went down and recovered the iron pick as much as possible, blocked the huge cave formed by the methane explosion with stones, and then retreated to the ground first.

Re-recruit 1,000 kobold miners, distribute the tools again, and let them continue digging.

But this time, they adjusted their route. The steps turned to the right for fifty or sixty meters, and then turned again and continued to move towards the vein.

After returning to the ground and waiting for about half an hour, a kobold finally came up and kept calling, telling him that he had dug through.

Jia Zhengjin immediately entered the mine and reached the deepest point in one breath.

Sure enough, walking along the steps to the bottom, there is an unusually rich ore layer. And very fortunately, in addition to the rich iron ore, copper ore, gold ore, and silver ore, there seems to be another color of ore buried deep in it.

However, just by looking at the color, Jia Zhengjin couldn't distinguish the composition of this ore, so he had to wait until the kobold miners successfully dug it out to know what it was.

"Don't worry about the other mines, just dig in that direction for me!" Jia Zhengjin ordered to the kobold miners, "After digging the innermost ore, bring it up for me to see!"

When the kobold received the order, he immediately waved the iron pick in his hand and desperately mined inside.

Four or five hundred kobolds were digging together, and the scene was quite lively, and the speed was quite fast. Before the mine was wide enough, the remaining kobolds were responsible for moving the mined ore and stones up and down, and transporting them to the two mines outside.

Jia Zhengjin returned to the land, and slept soundly next to him, until a kobold came to wake him up.

"Huh?" Jia Zhengjin took a careful look at the ore handed over by the Kobold.

[Tungsten Ore] A rare ore with very low content.

Good luck! Jia Zhengjin was immediately full of energy, and the haze of the loss of hundreds of kobold miners caused by the big explosion just now disappeared instantly.

On his way to Tansandia, he obtained blueprints for light bulbs and street lamps from a man named St. Thomas. He originally said that such modern items should not be used for the time being. But unexpectedly, a tungsten mine was discovered by accident!

The tungsten wire needed for making light bulbs is smelted from tungsten ore.

Although the output of this tungsten mine is not high, it should be enough to fill street lamps with the size of the city now!

Darkness after nightfall is by far the biggest problem. If there are street lights, it can be bright at night!

Of course, lights need electricity to drive.

But Jia Zhengjin is not worried about this, because he has the manufacturing blueprint of the magic nuclear battery! It only needs one electric magic core, two coal mines and two copper mines, and it can be successfully manufactured!

Of course, he didn't know how strong the power of the magic core battery was. But since it is made by the magic core, it is absolutely impossible to drive some small toys like the small battery in the previous life, right?

"Dig out all the tungsten ore for me!" Jia Zhengjin immediately ordered, "Leave the silver ore alone and don't touch it. Wait until the tungsten ore is dug out, then dig iron ore, copper ore and gold at the same time!"

The kobolds received the order and immediately entered the mine to convey it.

There are very few tungsten mines. Hundreds of kobolds speeded up and dug them out in only one hour.

After all, the stock of this kind of mine only accounts for about one-thousandth of the entire underground mine.

There are also more than 400 tungsten mines, all of which are packed into Jia Zhengjin's virtual backpack.

Keep all the kobold miners, put all the raw meat in their backpacks in their lairs and mines, and then let them mine without stopping. Jia Zhengjin only needs to collect mines once in a while and put in food!

Riding the fake dragon back to the city, first go to the warehouse and store the soil and stones that are almost full of the backpack into the wooden box.

When he came out, he remembered that there seemed to be a Tier 2 monster in the animal pen.

So I went over to take a look, and found that the fire-type monster named Long-nosed Bear had already been tamed!

Jia Zhengjin took the long-nosed bear out of the animal pen, and at the same time asked Worf to call the female werewolf Vera.

Give the long-nosed bear to Vera, so that the three werewolves will have a powerful second-tier monster.

Two Daclas, a long-nosed bear, and three werewolves who are not bad in their own strength, and then they can be taken out to hunt some first- and second-tier electric monsters, and hunt for the magic cores in their bodies!

If you encounter other types of monsters, you can catch them and bring them back to continue domestication and expand your army of monsters!

Vera seemed a little surprised that he got the second-tier Warcraft Proboscis Bear. However, she has no doubts about Jia Zhengjin's decision.

"Tomorrow morning, the three of you will bring your monsters and go hunting with me!" Jia Zhengjin said to them, "I need more monsters and magic cores of the electric system!"

"Yes!!" The three werewolves responded immediately.

Let the werewolves continue to patrol, Jia Zhengjin rushed to the factory and put 400 tungsten ore in the backpack into the furnace.

The smelting speed of tungsten ore is very slow, and 400 tungsten ores can only smelt 4 tungsten alloys, which is pitifully small!

But now Jia Zhengjin does not want to make alloys, so using 1 tungsten ore to smelt 1 tungsten wire can make 400 tungsten wires!

The recipe for the bulb is 1 tungsten filament, 2 glass. In other words, all of them are smelted here, enough to make 400 light bulbs, and there is no difficulty in lighting up the whole city! After all, the city is not too big now.

The material of glass is sand, which is very simple and can be made directly with stones.

1 stone equals 10 sand, and 5 sand equals 1 glass.

So when smelting tungsten ore, Jia Zhengjin grinds sand on the tool table at the same time, and then makes it into glass.

Light bulbs do not require many materials and are relatively easy to make.

However, the material requirements for street lamps are more troublesome!

A street lamp requires 1 light bulb, 5 iron ingots and 50 cement blocks.

Iron ingots are quite a troublesome part. After all, too many places need them, and the consumption is astonishing. And for 400 street lamps, at least 2,000 iron ingots are needed, which is terrifying!

Fortunately, an underground mine has just been developed, together with the open-pit mines around the city, it should be able to provide it. The main underground veins have a high probability of producing ore, and the amount is relatively large.

As for cement blocks, the manufacturing method is very simple, and the material requirements are not high.

It is ordinary stones plus clay, and cobblestones are synthesized on the tool table, and then put into a furnace to smelt them into lime, and sand and clay are added to make cement. Finally, make cement blocks from cement!

Although the steps seem to be troublesome, it is actually very simple to make.

Therefore, the next most important thing is the issue of electricity. As long as there is sufficient electricity, the street lights can be turned on!

Gradually, it began to have some modern flavors! Jia Zhengjin was full of energy.
