0410 Iron Ore
Seeing that the Lord Lord and the Prime Minister were so surprised, Juan frowned and said, "Old men, I know that steel is a necessary resource for making weapons, but you two are not so surprised, right?"
"Juan, you are really my blessing!" Chen Zhen pulled Juan's arm excitedly and said, "Take me to see!"
Not only the Lord, but also all the consuls on the island were curious about what the new island looked like and what attributes it was, so many people were approaching the new island.
Rissi Island merges into the northwest corner of Xiangdangdang Island and is adjacent to Chen Zhen No. 1 Island.
From a distance, it looks like an ordinary earth island, with no soil except soil and no vegetation.
There are sporadic stone protrusions in some locations, which means that this earth island is not even pure in its properties. There must be a lot of stones mixed in the soil, and there may be a whole stone bed, which is said to be a soil island, but it is not suitable for cultivating crops.
The main island of Xiangdangdang Island has been almost fully developed, and every inch of land has been used reasonably.
Shennong's team planted all kinds of crops, including wood, grain crops and cash crops, rye, black rice, black apple trees, hops, black flax, reeds, herbs and other crops on Xiangdang Island.
Shennong and Lu Pai stood together, overlooking the island of Risisi and said, "Lu Pai, I think the soil on Xiangdangdang Island can be transported to this island and transformed it, and it should be able to reclaim a large area of land."
But Lu Pai shook his head and said to Shennong: "I think this is too troublesome. It would be better to turn this island into a concentrated place for factories and workshops."
"Anyway, it's so barren, it's not suitable for transformation."
Shen Nong stared at her eyes and said, "You old ninth, you have gained your skills and you will compete for territory with me!"
"Beggar, you take yourself too seriously, aren't you?" Lu Pai also choked, and then they choked up in front of other leaders. On Xiangdangdang Island, only Shennong called Lu Pai Laojiu, and only Lu Pai called Shennong called beggar.
This is the title before they both awaken to become wise men.
The leaders gathered together, shouting and cheering. At this time, the Lord Lord came.
Seeing that Chen Zhen was coming, Shennong and Lu Pai quickly stopped fighting, smiled foolishly and said in unison: "Hello Lord Lord!"
Chen Zhen cleared his throat with his hands behind his back and said, "Tell me, you two, one of the Minister of Agriculture and the other Minister of Craftsman, are both in important positions in our island. How can you just fight like this?"
"Lord, we are having fun! Hehe..." Lu Pai said with a smile.
He suddenly remembered something, and approached the Lord Lord and said, "Lord Lord, I tell you, now our island is built with bakery, beer workshop, linen workshop, etc., but there is no place in the warehouse!"
Chen Zhen said with a twitch: "Didn't Haska say that... the warehouses are all built near the port."
"Oh!" Lu Pai responded happily. In fact, he said this matter was just to lead to the next thing he wanted to say. He said the second thing carefully: "Lord, I found that there is a lot of clay on this island of Risixi. We can build some clay pits here! By the way, some ceramic workshops are opened nearby!"
"Well, this idea is good, it's accurate!" Lord Lord laughed.
Shen Nong listened for a long time and finally understood. He quickly pulled Lu Pai aside and said to the Lord: "Lord, what, there are cattle and sheep sold in the slave island! We need a field to raise cattle and sheep! Our agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, sideline fishing, will develop comprehensively!"
"Well, Shennong, you're right, this is the case, Risisi Island, you are half of them, plan your own land and don't fight each other!" Chen Zhen said to Shennong: "I think the most urgent task should be to build a road and connect the islands."
"In this way, it will be more convenient and quicker to transport goods. In the future, I will study the railway tracks...hehehe..."
Chen Zhen pinched his chin and laughed in vain. Since he had the design drawings of the steam engine in his mind, he could tinker with the train.
At least, a track car without power is a breeze for him.
The leaders did not understand what the railway tracks were mentioned by the Lord, but Shennong and Lupai both got what they wanted. The island on Sissi Island belonged to them. They immediately ran to the island and went privately.
After the conclusion is over, they still have to report their ideas to Lord Haska, and finally Lord Haska makes the final decision.
In short, this matter was resolved in just a few words.
After watching the entire process of Lord Lord handling daily affairs, Juan entered the process accurately, just right, without any delay, and a hint of admiration arose in his heart.
Chen Zhen turned his head and looked at Juan and said, "Where is the iron ore?"
Juan said oh, pointed to the red mud ground and said, "Lord, the iron ore is below this ground. Island of Rissi is actually an iron ore island with a rich underground iron ore."
"I have always kept this secret and lied to the Spanish Empire that Risisi is an island without attributes."
Chen Zhen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and immediately reached out to greet Lu Pai. After Lu Pai rushed over, Chen Zhen said to him: "Go and gather a few people. Let's dig the ground to see if there is an iron ore below!"
"Okay!" Lu Pai hurried away.
After a while, dozens of miners holding shovels and pickaxes came. They chose a place and dug down.
They were all quarers on Chen Zhen No. 1 Island, and they dug very quickly and they dug several meters deep in a short while.
Just a few meters deep, the miners below dug for a while and then brought a brown stone. They handed the stone to Chen Zhen and asked, "Lord, look, is this an iron ore?"
Chen Zhen took the iron ore in his hand and observed it carefully. The miners lit torches to measure it.
This is an authentic hematite, with high purity and consists of iron oxide. This small piece is a small piece that the miner encounters a hard object when he digging the ground.
Chen Zhen raised his eyes and asked the miner: "Is there many below?"
"Lord, I think this thing is all underneath. This is just a small piece I accidentally cut off from a whole piece!"
Chen Zhen was so happy that he was almost fainting... There were many below, and there was probably a huge iron ore vein! With so many iron ore, he could build any number of ships! He was developed, and now he was really developed!
With iron ore, there will be steel. With steel, there will be more and more advanced production tools, such as rails, rail cars, guns, cannons, and large ships made of steel. As long as one such ship appears on the sea, it will be invincible!
The existence of iron ore marks the risen Dangdang Island, from today onwards, is about to enter the era of the Industrial Revolution.
