Zhou Yu made a pair as if he didn't see anything. He glanced at Gan Ning, who was carrying a huge stone tablet, and saw the engraving of dragon and phoenix on the stone tablet that he didn't know where to pick it from. Two large characters-boundary stele, and then a small line in the lower corner-Han Xingjun commanded Gan Xingba!

Um, the boundary stele, and then Gan Ning, who raised the boundary stele suddenly and forcefully, slammed the huge boundary stele towards the mine below, and with a roar, the boundary stele was stuck there by Ganning The place where the iron ore is said to be stuck is very ugly.

"Gan Xingba this guy ..." Zhou Yu's eyes twitched slightly on the side of the cliff. This behavior was really shameful to Zhou Yu.

At this time, a windy sand swept through, and a smell of rust appeared on the smell of several old men who were squatting on the ground and suspected that there was a problem in this place. His face was shocked.

Several people looked at each other, and they all saw the terrifying in the other's eyes.

"Brother, I think there is something wrong with this place. What about you?" Wang Heng looked at several acquaintances around him and asked, "It's not right. The smell of rust in this sand, the open-pit mine, and it must be an oversized one." This is the case with open pit mines.

"I'm afraid the whole place is a piece of iron." The old man next to him said with a dignified face, the sand could smell the rust, and then looking at the fine dust on the ground, there was a red feeling at first glance.

Before, this group of people thought that the soil environment of this place was like this. As a result, they thought about it, and everyone was horrified. I am afraid that this place is no longer a problem with iron ore, but it should be changed. It is a huge mine buried by sand and stone.

Seeing a few people have such a look, Wang Heng also has a high degree of certainty. If it is as previously estimated, the iron content of this iron ore is not an ordinary horror.

"Sinan brought it." Wang Heng beckoned to the little fellow on the side. The young fellow quickly took Sinan out of the box on the side, and as expected, Sinan was killed on the spot.

"Red iron above, magnet below?" The little old man on the side carefully plucked a layer of red dust from the ground, and then slowly fell from his hands. The fine dust naturally fell towards Sinan, and everyone looked dignified. .

"This place is full of mines, it is likely to cover hundreds of miles ..." Wang Heng's eyes twitched. Only in this way, those exposed open-pit mines would drift out during the years of wind and sand invasion. Scale of hematite.

"I'm afraid there is only one explanation." Wang Heng said to himself, everyone else was horrified. Iron mines of this scale are almost uncommon in the region.

Wang Heng and others climbed a mountain with difficulty and looked around. The kind of red reflection made them fully understand that they were not stepping on earth but iron ore.

"Chou Dudu, please also find a way to occupy this place." After Wang Heng and others confirmed the situation, they immediately notified Zhou Yu, and they also took a lot of iron ore they knocked down with their eyes closed from the open pit. The crushed ore after the sand eroded.

"Uh, why do you want to occupy, because of iron ore?" Zhou Yu looked at a few old men with a puzzled face. These are the older generation of Wu Di who understands the public. Although they are not giants, they belong to all kinds of places. A good family that can be mixed, so Zhou Yu will give a face.

"There are no fields, no trees, and even grass that does not grow well in this place, but in our experience, this place is full of iron, and this iron ore," said Wang Heng took a piece of iron from the box beside The ore, with an incredible look, said, "With our years of experience in beneficiation and forging, it can be cast directly into the furnace."

Iron ore can be used without beneficiation. It is very difficult in the Central Plains, because iron ore in China is basically poor ore, and the grade is not too good. It takes a lot of time to mine the ore. Very Consume energy.

However, in this place, Wang Heng casually picked up a piece of mortal life. With his ears from the age of ten, he had touched his ears at home for forty years, and he had touched the ore everywhere for 40 years. The moment he got the hematite, Wang Heng knew, This ore is not so much stone, it is iron, six points of iron!

Wang Heng closed his eyes and grabbed more than 20 pieces. According to his feelings, the iron content is basically about 60%, the high one is almost 70%, and the low one has not fallen to 55%.

This was picked up casually with eyes closed, which means that the most **** ore in this place can be directly thrown into the furnace for smelting, which is almost heartbroken.

It is completely different from the ore that needs to be processed after being mined in the Central Plains. The quality of the ore here is simply incredible for Wang Heng and others.

The more important thing is that the few old men have climbed the mountain before than estimated the range of the mine based on their feelings, and finally came to a conclusion. The estimated value of the iron ore in this mine is probably calculated in billions. Inside, almost all this color.

Although the value estimated by Wang Heng and others is 100 million jin, which is still hundreds of thousands of times away from the tens of billions of tons estimated by later generations, hundreds of millions of jin of high-grade iron ore are enough for these people to make up their minds. They understand This, so they understand the importance of these ores.

After all, it's not necessary to beneficiate it. It's a good iron ore thrown directly into the steel furnace. What's more terrible is that it is still an open pit. The difficulty of mining is how to pull it down.

To put it simply, you can build an iron plant here, and you can drill steel by throwing ore into the furnace. As for technology, the iron content of the ore here has exceeded 60%. If you want a ghost technology, basically it is Pieces of iron oxide!

Zhou Yu was stunned. Since the smelting technology was upgraded to be able to cast iron, iron is very important in any era. Zhou Yu also understands the quality of this iron ore that can be directly thrown into the furnace.

The problem is that no matter how high-quality it is, it ’s not a joke to say a thousand miles away from the Central Plains. If it ’s near the South China Sea and has n’t crossed the Straits of Malacca, Zhou Yu feels that there is still a casting site built in place. The meaning of shipping back the finished steel, this place is close to 20,000 kilometers back and forth!

From the perspective of Zhou Yu, let alone a Guishuang fleet might be squatting in the middle. Even without this fleet, it is not worth it.

Although the high-grade iron ore smelting in place is indeed easy to obtain finished iron, but with this terrible distance, there is no use for it. Even if the iron is produced, there is no way to ship it back. This transportation cost has exploded. Ok.

Besides, even smelting iron on site requires blast furnace and coal. This is the most sophisticated technology obtained from the technicians digging over Chen Xi. It can easily smelt iron and steel on the spot, but even so, there must be coal!

This is not the place in the Central Plains. You can pull out the briquettes from a very close place with just two pulls. Without the briquettes, you ca n’t play the blast furnace. Without the blast furnace, you ca n’t produce steel on a large scale. You ca n’t directly transport the ore back. Okay, okay!

Who is so mentally retarded to transport the ore back to the Central Plains? I do n’t know if most ships have a carrying capacity of hundreds of tons. Taking into account drinking water, dry food and other things, the ore is transported from 10,000 kilometers away. The designer of this plan is simply It's mentally retarded!

Hundreds of tons and hundreds of tons of transportation back to the ground is simply a tiankeng. Okay, there are no people in this broken place. Is it necessary to transport people to come and make jokes? The cost explodes in an instant. Zhou Yu decisively rejected this mentally handicapped plan.

As for the seventh-generation ship, the carrying capacity is calculated according to 3,000 to 4,000 tons. Counting the smelting, it can barely cover the cost. The problem is that the seven-generation ship is one hundred million yuan. It costs so much cost and such a low benefit. Zhou Yu said that Go to bed, the cost has exploded, okay.

"But such a high-quality mine is wasted here. It is a pain for those of us who share the same opinion!" Wang Heng said, touching his conscience, it was really painful.

Although Zhou Yu was somewhat interested, he still refused to calculate the cost. In his view, even with the familiarity of shipping, the speed of the ships is getting faster and faster. It takes nearly a month from Jiangdong to this place.

Zhou Yu said that the drinking water and dry food needed for one month's shipping will be washed, and the small boat can't play ocean transportation. Although Zhou Yu's math is not very good, he also knows by rough estimation unless he carries the amount It can soar over ten thousand tons, otherwise, if you want to transport iron ore from Australia to Jiangdong, let's wash and sleep.

Of course, if Lü Bu's move could break the space, Zhou Yu wouldn't mind occupying this place at all, but it would be enough to think about opening a channel to connect the Central Plains and Australia.

In a word, Zhou Yu decisively rejected the proposal of a group of people who were worthy of public opinion. However, Gan Ning became interested. The so-called thief did not go empty. Gan Ning decisively let his pirates disembark and move the ore.

Anyway, Gan Ning still has more than 30,000 pirates. The whole army's destruction plan failed, and the pirates were killed by Guishuang. More than 40,000 pirates, and more than 600 pirate ships, only about 200 sunk. Tens of thousands of tons.

What's more, after the war, although the ship of the sixth-generation ship was half-sinked, after all, there were more than a dozen ships left, which is the carrying capacity of the early 10,000 tons.

Gan Ning now properly has more ships and fewer people. A retired warship equivalent to the fourth-generation ship has a carrying capacity of about one hundred tons as long as it is not loaded.

So Ganing drove all the pirates off the ship and ordered them to go to open pit mines. Each person had to pick two thousand pounds, which is one ton of new weights and measures.

Fortunately, there are many people, and the mine is open-air. The army is attacking everywhere. The open-pit mine is cut open without screening. More than 30,000 people will fill the empty ship of the fleet with iron ore in two days. Ganning for this Satisfied with the speed, Zhou Yu once again expressed helplessness to Gan Ning.
