16. Isn’T It Normal For A Senior Mining Man To Farm Under The Mine?

The front foot turned around with a smile, ready to show off his harvest to Jiang Xuan.

The next second, he stared at everything here with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

Gan Yu was also startled by Ke Qing, but before she could ask what happened.

He turned his head and was stunned.

The originally dark and cramped mine space had undergone earth-shaking changes in this moment.

The space has been expanded at least twice.

This is nothing.

Jiang Xuan put up four birch pillars at the four corners of the mine at some point, like load-bearing pillars.

Except for the mine that was blocked by mud.

Another open mine is now surrounded by a wooden fence and wooden fence gate.

On the pillars next to the fence gate, a circle of trap doors surrounded the torches, making two simple street lamps.

Jiang Xuan originally planned to make a chandelier, but that thing requires iron, and Jiang Xuan is not rich enough to make chandeliers for mines.

But even so, it's quite beautiful.

Except for the positions where Ke Qing and Gan Yu were, there was not much movement.

The space behind was divided into four regular areas by Jiang Xuan using birch boards.

One is the place where the bed and workbench are placed, which is regarded as a rest area. Next to the bed, there is a wooden sofa and table made by Jiang Xuan using steps.

The other one was densely packed with large boxes, obviously a storage area.

As for the other two, one is still empty, and I don’t know what it is for.

The other one, filled with furnaces, was burning. Jiang Xuan was standing in front of the furnace.

From time to time, something is taken out and something is put in again from beginning to end.

Forget it, even though it was outrageous, Ke Qing felt that it was a decent thing.

but……

This guy Jiang Xuan...

He actually decorated it with various vines everywhere, making it look like a mine.

It is clearly a relatively quaint country cabin.

Jiang Xuan also packed up the last iron ingot at this time. He looked up and saw that Ke Qing and Gan Yu had finished, and waved with a smile.

"Thank you for your hard work. Come on, give me the iron ore and I will process it for you. You go and sit in the rest area first."

"There is food in the box. I just made cooked pork chops. It should taste good and it won't go bad if I put it in the box. You guys go and try it."

Ke Qing and Gan Yu walked forward dully and handed Jiang Xuan the iron ore.

Then, she stood in front of him blankly.

Jiang Xuan raised his eyebrows and said amusedly:

"Why, are you scared? Didn't I just transform it appropriately?"

Proper... transformation? ? ?

Gan Yu opened his mouth, looked around, and said with a wry smile:

"Jiang Xuan...you are completely rebuilding it! It's too amazing!"

“The workers in the Stratayan Abyss don’t even have the facilities you have renovated as well as you!”

Jiang Xuan touched his head and said amusedly:

"It's not that exaggerated..."

"No! Gan Yu is telling the truth!"

Ke Qing looked at Jiang Xuan with some confusion, sighed and said:

"The Strata Abyss is huge, but... after so many years of reclamation, there is no more ore in the mining areas close to the ground."

"Workers can only go deep under the giant rock abyss, but it is very troublesome to get around. Most of the workers can only set up tents and stay under the mines."

"We have to guard against monsters from time to time... If all the workers in the Strata Abyss have abilities like yours, then we..."

Jiang Xuan also fell silent. After spending a year in the Layer Rock Abyss, he naturally knew that place well.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Strata Rock Abyss really eats people.

News of deaths comes every month, but...

Liyue had no choice.

Liyue needs the layered rock abyss, very much...

That is a matter of national origin.

However, Jiang Xuan quickly laughed, patted Ke Qing, and said softly:

"Keqing can't envy me now. You have this kind of ability in this world now. All you have to do is pick up the cube and throw it down."

"Other than that, I only need a few hundred million decoration skills. Speaking of which, is this mine qualified to replace the Great Abyss of Strata Rock?"

Jiang Xuan wanted to change the heavy topic, but Ke Qing nodded extremely seriously.

"You are qualified! You are completely qualified! It is our luck and Liyue's luck to have such a mine..."

"Jiang Xuan, you are willing to help us and save the lives of countless workers! You are Liyue's benefactor, and I thank you on their behalf!"

Looking at the extremely serious cat head in front of him, Jiang Xuan also became serious.

He nodded slightly and said softly:

"Come to me after you have a good chat after we go out. This is just the beginning. We are friends. Ke Qing and Gan Yu have helped me a lot this year."

"In return, I should also help you! Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I have to process the iron ore. You can rest."

Gan Yu shook his head and said softly:

"It's just a few swings of the pickaxe. Now that we have your physique, we won't get tired and don't use much strength."

"I want to see how you process iron ore."

Jiang Xuan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile:

"That's okay. If you're hungry, remember to go to the rest area to get something to eat. If you're bored, you can also try building blocks."

"When you come to this world, you can't just mine, you also have to learn how to use these materials to build. This is the most important thing."

"As for smelting iron ore..."

Jiang Xuan casually threw the iron ore into the furnace and put a piece of coal on it.

"That's good..."

"???"

Gan Yu looked at Jiang Xuan with a blank expression. After a while, he noticed that Jiang Xuan was not joking, and then said cautiously:

"that's all?"

"yes!"

Jiang Xuan, with a matter-of-fact expression, walked from the first furnace to the last furnace with Gan Yu and Ke Qing.

Put three iron ores in each furnace, just enough to burn what they dug out.

"What else do you think?"

"I thought... at least it needed to be forged..."

Gan Yu pursed her lips and looked at Jiang Xuan in a daze.

The latter smiled and pinched Gan Yu's nose.

"Don't look at this world based on the theory of the normal world. Nothing that happens in this world should be surprising."

"Just like this piece of coal, a piece of coal looks small, but you also know how heavy it is."

"Such a piece of coal can burn eight iron ores, which is eight iron ingots and more than seven tons of iron."

"If this were placed in Teyvat, the blacksmiths wouldn't be able to kneel down and cheer for the appearance of the Rock King?"

"It would be better if there is magma, it will burn longer and save coal."

"Smelting iron ingots is not a technical job, so I won't let you learn it. If you are really interested, I will let you handle the whole process next time you go into the mine."

Hearing this, Ke Qing immediately nodded excitedly.

"No problem! Leave it to me! I won't let you down!"

Jiang Xuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly.

"Of course, I believe in Ke Qing!"

"Let's go back after burning these iron ores. It's enough to dig these for today."

"There's still a lot to deal with over there in the village."

Keqing wanted to say that she still had energy and could continue.

But Gan Yu quietly pulled Ke Qing and gave Ke Qing a look, and the latter didn't say much.

After all, Jiang Xuan was here to familiarize them with them, so they couldn't stay in the mine forever.

The iron ore smelting still needed a little time, so Jiang Xuan took Ke Qing and Gan Yu to introduce the currently planned mine.

In Jiang Xuan's words, this is the first phase of the project.

As the mines are mined, this space will continue to be improved.
