Chapter 59 Treasures From the Earth

(I have a big question, why do I owe so many chapters~ As I said before, for 1000 recommendation tickets, or 5 rewards, one more update will be added on the first day of release. It is not appropriate to update more due to the new book issue, please forgive me.

There is also the issue of donating 5,000 tons of black iron, which has exhausted the wealth of Ninghe County, which is a big pit. Now that the seniors have asked, Tianya will point it out.

Moreover, 5,000 tons of black iron, if viewed from a national or industrial point of view, would not be too obtrusive; what's more, it would pave the way for future voyages.

There is also the issue of the army. The setting here is a world of practice, and it is meaningless for ordinary people to go to the battlefield; and the number of masters is limited.

Finally, thank you for your support and suggestions. )

Dig out the leylines?

Zhang Hao looked cute.

As a modern person, I don't really believe in the existence of leylines; there are so many mines and tunnel projects, if there were leylines, they would have been discovered long ago.

Following Huang Mingshan and running out, the first thing Zhang Hao saw was thousands of people marching towards the Zhang family.

Seeing Dugu Junjie who took the lead, Zhang Hao suddenly smiled.

The craftsmen who built the ship finally arrived.

It is not easy to move these people here.

Although they have been 'sold', craftsmen are human beings after all, and they have their own ideas. And craftsmen are not slaves, they also have full freedom. It took a lot of thought to poach these people over.

First, comfort their wounded hearts.

However, Dugu Junjie handled this matter beautifully, he understood it with affection, moved it for profit, and finally added the current influence of the Zhang family and appropriate threats, but it made most of the craftsmen come. Some people really don't want to come, so they can only give up.

From afar, Dugu Junjie greeted Zhang Hao. Did he know that Zhang Hao actually wanted to buy these craftsmen.

Zhang Hao greeted first, and then asked about the situation.

"Three shipbuilding workshops, a total of 853 craftsmen, including 52 top craftsmen, 127 master craftsmen, 418 small craftsmen, and 256 apprentices.

In addition, there are 4071 dependents. "

"What about the technical literature?"

"They're all there. A total of 3 carriages were pulled, and there were 539 volumes of materials. Whether useful or not, I brought them all."

"Thank you. Arrange for these people to live first, so that they can be taken care of; especially pay attention to children, etc., whether they are sick or weak; if not, use Peiyuan Dan to save them.

Also, for those under 10 years old, each person will be given a Peiyuan Pill; they must be taken under the supervision of their parents. "

"Ah..." Dugu Junjie blinked, one Peiyuan pill cost 20 spirit stones; in fact, as the western countries prepare for the Eastern Expedition, this price is increasing. The Peiyuan Dan on the market now has reached 30 spirit stones.

Isn't it worthwhile to use such an expensive Peiyuan Pill to save the child of an ordinary craftsman?

30 Lingshi, you can hire three good craftsmen.

Zhang Hao didn't explain more, and left quickly under Huang Mingshan's urging.

Dugu Junjie looked at Zhang Hao's back, and finally shook his head helplessly; this young master is not very old, but he has already shown an extraordinary side. For now, just order without explaining.

Or, perhaps, disdain to explain.

Dugu Junjie shrugged: Well, since you don't care about Peiyuan Pill, then I'll use it vigorously!

In fact, after a long journey, the adults are fine, but the children are all downcast, and some have already started to get sick.

Although it is a world of practice, it does not mean that there is no pain. In fact, many diseases in the practice world are more deadly.

The Zhang family does not lack Peiyuan Pills now, and many families used Peiyuan Pills as currency to pay for the price of black iron. Dugu Junjie directly applied for a box of one thousand Peiyuan Pills. Then, as long as children under the age of ten, or those who are sick, take one tablet per person, dissolve it in water under the supervision of their parents, and take it little by little.

A thousand Peiyuan Pills, the current market price exceeds 30,000 spirit stones.

But in the process of distribution, Dugu Junjie gradually realized that a simple Peiyuan Pill has won endless gratitude from all the craftsmen.

In the end, only more than 800 Peiyuan Pills were used, but they gained the sincerity of everyone present.

No matter how well said, it is better to do well. What a Peiyuan Pill represents is the confidence in the travel commitment.

Seeing everyone's smiles from the bottom of their hearts, Dugu Junjie fell into deep thought:

I seem to have been bribed by Zhang Shengde in a similar way... I seem to be quite happy~~~

…………

But Zhang Hao followed Huang Mingshan all the way to the mining site, and saw his anxious second uncle Zhang Shengye from afar.

And Zhang Shengde, the father who arrived in a hurry, also frowned deeply.

The Zhang family has started to use machines for mining; but now the machines have stopped.

Two iron chains with iron buckets hanging on them slanted deep into the depths of the mine.

Although the owner of the city, Liu Jingming, had sent over 100,000 tons of ore, the Zhang family was still digging.

Many craftsmen gathered around the mine, whispering to each other. Most of them had a slight worry on their faces.

Amidst the young master's shouts, Zhang Hao came closer, but saw a dark red liquid flickering under the illumination of several jade lamps in the depths of the mine pit.

If you look carefully, the liquid should be brownish-red to black; it really looks like dried blood. However, under the lighting, the color will inevitably be biased.

In the air, apart from the slightly unpleasant smell of ore dust, there is also a faint pungent and greasy smell.

The pungent and greasy smell mixed together, Zhang Hao's eyes immediately brightened.

This thing, could it be...

After thinking about it, Zhang Hao asked the second uncle: "Second uncle, since this thing was discovered, is it dangerous?"

"No. But it seems to be poisonous. A few craftsmen sprayed it all over, and the whole body is red and swollen."

"Where are the craftsmen? Where are their clothes?" Zhang Hao asked anxiously.

"Over there." Zhang Shengye pointed to the side.

Zhang Hao walked by and found that several craftsmen were frantically cleaning their bodies. There were already large areas of redness and swelling on the surface of their bodies; their hair was glued together. The viscous and pungent liquid was difficult to clean, leaving a greasy smear on the surface of the water.

Facing this kind of liquid, the small spell "Innocent Art" commonly used by practitioners seems to be ineffective.

The craftsmen had already undressed, and the clothes were thrown aside.

"Have you taken the detoxification pill?" Zhang Hao asked the person in charge of a craftsman next to him.

"Master, I took it. But it didn't work."

Zhang Hao thought for a while: "Use Peiyuan Pill. Three pills per person."

The three Peiyuan pills were taken together, and the condition of several craftsmen was brought under control; the redness and swelling on their bodies disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Zhang Hao knew it well, it should be an allergy or something, not poisoning. Peiyuan Dan is for replenishing qi, not for detoxification.

I picked up the clothes next to me with a wooden stick, and the clothes were covered with a maroon, slightly transparent liquid; the clothes were soaked in water and were wet.

Zhang Hao carefully released a small fireball, and after a while, the wet clothes caught fire. The flame increased rapidly, the flame was dark red, black smoke billowed, and the pungent smell became stronger.

Zhang Hao looked at it and smiled.

This is not the blood of dragon veins, but the blood of industry!

Here it is, oil!

This is a gem from the earth!

Although maroon oil is rare, these are two worlds after all, and it is normal to have differences.

But soon, Zhang Hao's smile gradually disappeared and became serious. Because, the color of the flame gradually turned golden yellow, and the high temperature rushed towards us.

This situation is very similar to the situation where spirit stones and flame arrays are used to urge flames.

Could it be that the oil contained aura, and the aura was ignited? It seems to be ignited directly!

Zhang Hao was thoughtful: the aura was directly ignited, so why didn't the surrounding air burn - you know, there is a lot of aura in the surrounding air.

Or, is there something in the oil that reacts with the aura? Only in this way can it be explained.

The aura burned, releasing even more violent heat and energy.

"Xiao Hao!" Zhang Shengde interrupted Zhang Hao's reverie.

Zhang Hao turned his head and looked at his father's worried eyes, and smiled: "Father, this thing is not the blood of dragon veins, but another kind of treasure! Look, it can provide high temperature.

Recently we are researching steam turbines; this kind of thing may become a new energy source for steam turbines! It can drive a steam turbine like a ground fire, and it can be as flexible as a spirit stone, and it is cheaper than a spirit stone! "

Zhang Shengde was in a daze: Don't change so much, explain clearly.

But Zhang Hao continued: "Dad, in Qixia's land, where else is the so-called earth vein blood found? Take these places...

buy it! "
