Act 397 Aetalia Minerals(1/2)

The surface of the irregularly shaped stone was covered with crystalline silver spots, which exuded a gorgeous metallic luster in the hands of the ship's officer. Fang Zhu studied mineralogy by himself, and naturally recognized that it was some kind of vermisil sulfide mineral at a glance.

He suddenly became excited that the Misilan mine was a mineral on earth that only existed in fantasy. It was said that it had extremely rare value and good magical adaptability. Therefore, when people discovered this mineral in this world, they took it as their name.

And in Aitalia, the Mithril Mine is also extremely precious.

Its usually value is more than ten times that of equal weight gold. As long as the ore output rate reaches more than 0.00001%, it often has the value of mining. As a combat craftsman, Fangzhu has a brief taste of mineralogy, but at least it can also see the quality of this ore:

Even if the part of Silweid is not the best, it will not be much worse.

Fang Ling thought he had discovered an open-pit mitril silver mine, and his heart couldn't help but jump up uncontrollably. This valley was far away from the border of the empire. Although it was in a certain principality, Etaliya was not the real world after all, and the boundary between big and small countries was not clear. In such uninvolved mountains and fields, as long as no one reported them, they had the power to mine these wild mines.

In fact, it was mentioned before that the Empire also supported the recruits to pioneer the world. The Gray Field and the S.O.L.I.D alliances have their own guild states. Of course, now the Seven Seas Brigade is in the wanted order of the Empire, and they do not care about what the Empire people think.

How did this mine come from? Fang Yu immediately looked up and wanted to know whether they had arrived at the mining area or whether the mining area was actually farther away, and the ore here was washed down from the upstream by streams? Or maybe this ore was just a flash in the pan, similar to a foreigner like a dog-headed gold.

But Silweid obviously had the same idea as him. He walked around the valley and came back and said: "There are no similar ores on the stream. They were not washed down from the upstream." She transformed two or three smaller pieces of ores from her hands, and they were almost the same. "I picked them up from around, and the mine area should be in the vicinity of this area."

Alissa and Dalier took notice from that flexible configuration, especially when the latter heard the conversation between the two, he couldn't help but turn around and ask:

"Is this the Mithril mine?"

Fang Zhu nodded.

The latter's eyes showed an unbelievable light, and he couldn't help but look at his feet, kicking the gray stones, allowing them to roll among the rocks, as if watching many gold nuggets roll down from the dragon's treasure.

Miss Nightingale was also surprised when she heard this. She looked at the valley and asked, "There are really mitral veins below, so what should we do?"

Of course she understood that the wealth symbolized unimaginable, but to turn the stones into wealth is not just about digging them out and taking them away. The market for mitral ore in the sea of ​​clouds ranges from thousands to tens of thousands of miles per ton, but even if the ore here is of the highest grade, how many tons can they take away?

The Qihai Traveler's full load is only about 100 tons, but apart from the weight and supply, the actual cargo volume after the military preparation is less than 30 tons, and based on the highest value, it is only 200,000 to 300,000 rissels. It is obviously a big gap with the unimaginable wealth.

The best way is to take away the finished product directly. The value difference between the smelted mitril and its ore of equal weight is more than ten thousand times. One kilogram of mitril can be worth millions of rissels on the sea.

Fang Yu closed his eyes and put the irregular ore in his palm to lift it up. The next moment, the silver crystal seemed to seep out a light layer of light, and then fine cracks appeared on the stone surface, collapsed like a ball of dry flour.

As soon as the breeze blew, the stone powder passed away in his palm with the wind, leaving only the shining metal dust below, which was so subtle that it was almost invisible.

He opened his eyes again.

If it is in reality, industrial smelting must be carried out at least a complete process must be established, refined by roasting or leaching, and finally smelting and purification. However, in Aitalia, he has magical alchemy, and he has refined the mitrilian element in this ore with just his magic gloves.

He naturally used multiple parallel techniques when meditating, and now this advanced technique is already very familiar to him, just like instinct. It may take several minutes for an ordinary alchemist to complete this job, but for him it is just a moment.

But the results are still not optimistic.

Fang Yu frowned. The ore here is of extremely high quality and is considered the highest in his understanding. The ore just now weighed about one or two kilograms, and the final extracted mitril silver was about a few milligrams.

Although the mineral yield rate is quite amazing compared to the Mithril mine, it is still very low compared to its own efficiency.

If he hadn't used magic gloves to absorb the mitril silver dust, the only thing that was blown away by the wind would not have been stone powder.

If he refines mitril silver in this way, he would only be able to refine no more than one or two mitril silver after working for twenty-four hours a week. It would take at least half a year to refine a kilogram of mitril silver.

But he is not a construct, so he cannot stay awake. In fact, even if he stays here for a year, he may not be able to extract so much mitril. After all, this is just refining, and the workload of ore dressing is even greater.

Calculated at 0.5 grams per ton of ore output, one kilogram of mitral requires 2,000 tons of ore smelting, which is approximately equal to the daily output of a medium-sized ore dressing plant. Even in Aitalia, large-scale production depends on the industrial production model.

However, it is obvious that they naturally cannot create an ore dressing and smelting plant here-

Not to mention that there is no such condition, even if one is temporarily built, it will require a lot of manpower and materials. Going to a nearby port to hire workers is very easy to be exposed, and the mobile population is often the most difficult to keep a secret.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Even if Fang Ling borrowed the Fairy Heart on the Qihai Traveler account and replaced the workers with flexible configuration, it also requires purchasing heavy equipment. Large mining equipment has always been controlled products. Once these things appear in the port's throughput entry, it will immediately attract the attention of those who are interested.

Not to mention that even if all this is ruled out, the Seven Seas Brigade is currently on the Imperial Wanted Order, and in fact it is impossible to get to any port near the Imperial.

Fang Zhu looked up and said that it was very difficult to mine this Misilan mine with their ability, but it was not cost-effective to take away as much as possible. Even with his mentality, it seemed unacceptable. How could he enter the treasure mountain and return in vain?

And Alisa obviously noticed this and suddenly asked, "Can Qihai Traveler's number help?"

Fang Yu was stunned, but immediately realized that it was less than ten miles away from Qihai Traveler's name, and Miss Tata's perception could obviously extend to this place.

He immediately thought of a way, they could not build a smelting furnace, but he could find a way to expand his abilities, just dismantle part of the equipment from the Qihai Traveler and make a magic furnace-

In fact, the essence is to build a signal amplifier that extends his perception of the magic gloves to cover a larger area.

That is actually the principle of a planetary furnace. This is how most smelters in Aitalia do it. They put the ore into the planetary furnace and then use the alchemist to operate the furnace to smel it. The larger the furnace, the higher the efficiency.

It’s just that his magic pot is an open-ended one, which will waste a lot of computing power. However, the Fairy Heart has computing power, and he doesn’t care about this.

The magic furnace on the ship is ready-made, just let it run in reverse. There are also cranes on the Qihai Traveler, which can be lifted. Although it is a bit troublesome, no one will think it is too difficult to bend down to pick up money.

Because what they see now is not a valley, but a land with endless wealth buried.

The opportunity to get rich is now.

Fang Yu immediately took out the communication crystal and notified the others on the Qihai Traveler account, and asked Baggins and Miss Scholar to bring the equipment over.

In addition, there are dozens of lancers on the ship. These heavy-duty components are transformed from port cranes. It doesn't take much time to convert them back to the mine. Although they are not as good as professional models, they are more than enough to help with mining and ore dressing.

Since entering the valley, Crystal communication has returned to normal, but in fact, the Fairy Miss received the news earlier that Tata's perception can cover this direction and has been paying attention to the movements of her Mr. Knight.

Without waiting for Fang Zhu to remind her, she opened the lower hatch door and let the seven lancers fly out of the deck and fly in this direction.

With the help of Miss Dragon Soul, the sailor chief removed a magic furnace for a ship, lifted it up on the deck with a crane, and then transported it carefully with a few lancers.

He came to the valley to meet with the square pilos at about three o'clock in the afternoon.

Before that, Fang Zhu had transformed the first batch of lancers-

He also asked Alisa and Dalier to continue searching along the valley. After all, everyone had not forgotten the original purpose of coming here. Although the Misilan Mine attracted everyone's attention, the elves' remains everywhere in the valley were as eye-catching.

The two have not returned yet, and now only Mia is responsible for his safety.

Silweid led several renovated lancers in another direction to roughly determine the location of the mine area.

The mining area is much smaller than expected, just from one end of the valley to the other.

This is really not worth mentioning compared to those large mines. If Mitsunian was not a high-value mineral, it would not be worth mining. However, I don’t know the direction of the ore body, and how deep the downward part is buried underground.

He first asked Silweid to command the lancers to collect the open-air parts. The large components selected ores of large sizes and piled them together, and soon formed a hill-sized size, but more than a dozen tons of ores were actually not worth mentioning compared to the smelting requirements.

Baggins was ordering the second group of lancers to put down the magic furnace carefully and then reassemble it. During this period, the witch of the sea also took the lead. Fang Zhu was a little surprised to see this - she knew nothing about alchemy during the July War.

"Later, I learned a lot of relevant knowledge on the way back to the Second World," the wolf girl looked at him and replied quietly, "Because Ed is an alchemist, I want to know your profession, but that is actually just some fur. But I have been on the floating ship for a long time, so I know a little bit."

Fang Yu didn't know what it felt when he heard it. The other party used to be like a goddess in his heart. He still remembered the elegant and mysterious appearance of the wolf girl under the night, but at that time he didn't know what she was thinking.

Later, the two parted ways, and the illusory shadow he longed for also disappeared. He only clearly remembered the sword that stabbed his vest, and the biting coldness was painful or sad.

Although that was not intentional, she later used starlight to make up for his losses, but the flame in her heart was extinguished. After that, he experienced a lot, and the two of them could be said to have missed it again and again.

But he never thought that the wolf girl would come back here one day, and she would talk to him in such a tone, which made his heart mess for a while.

"She looks very good."

Miya looked into the distance, and the ship's servant was facing away from the two of them, but Fang Yu could still feel her gaze from time to time, and occasionally looked back in this direction.

The noble daughter obviously didn't care as much as she said-

Fang Zhu inserted the crystal into the magic furnace and responded with a harsh bullet. Fortunately, the wolf girl did not continue along the topic, as if she had just mentioned it.

Then the crystal lit up and every loop on the magic furnace began to shine.

The light extends along the line he has laid in advance, connecting to the signal amplifier preset in four corners. Between the amplifiers is the ore pile like a hill. The surrounding components are crushing the ore with crushers and then stacking them up.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Fang Yu closed his eyes, then pressed the magic gloves on the magic furnace, and a starlight appeared in his field of vision. This work is already very familiar to him, and the light spots are connected one by one.

Light appeared on the ore mountain, and then the stones cracked and turned into dust. The light of stars oozed out of the dust and adsorbed on a piece of crystal suspended above. The whole process lasted about a quarter of an hour.

A quarter of an hour later, the crystal slowly fell down. Fang Zhu raised his head to look at the scene, raised his hand to retract it into his palm. Then a little flash fell from the crystal. He closed his palm and looked at the metal that was flashing with silver light, although it was about the size of a needle tip.

About a few grams.

Fang Zhu let out a long sigh.

The entire ore dressing and transportation process takes about half an hour, but it doesn’t take much time to refine it. Although the calculation power consumed is a bit amazing, borrowing the computing power of the Fairy Heart does not put too much pressure on him.

However, no ore dressing and transportation can be carried out in batches. Only seven lancers were used in the first batch, and there were at least more than forty lancers on the ship, which could be divided into many groups and were commanded by Miss Tata.

If you are more proficient, you may be able to compress the time to within ten minutes, and repeat it dozens of times a day is not a problem.

He roughly calculated that as long as they stay here for a month, they could mine a few kilograms of mitral - a few kilograms of mitral are tens of millions of risels on the market. His mind couldn't help but buzz. In fact, the Qihai Traveler had never seen such a large sum of money so far.

Fang Yu couldn't help but think dizzyly, almost enough for them to upgrade the Qihai Traveler number again.

But the current problem is how to cover up this valley for a month.

Although there are few people here, this ore vein is hidden in the deep mountains and no one knows it. If Hailin Crystal and others would not have come to this place, nor would they have discovered this Misilan Mining at this point in time.

But today is different from the past. There are a large number of adventurers wandering outside the valley, and they are searching for the legendary octave. Even if they have not searched for this area today, they will sooner or later discover the valley.

What should the Qihai Brigade do when those people enter the valley?

Hiding the entire valley with the mysterious lock barrier? He could barely do it with the help of the equipment on the ship, but there are many spellcasters among the adventurers. Once they find that the ether outside the valley is flowing abnormally, they will immediately become suspicious.

What would people think if they found a barrier hidden in the valley? There is an artificially hidden area here. Where would such an area exist in the forest?

It was obviously the ruins area where the octave was located.

That will backfire.

More importantly, maybe someone knows where this valley is now, and he can't help but look at the flexible structure damaged by Dalier on one side.

Although Dalier and Alissa went to search the valley and have not returned yet, the construct has remained. With flexible construction, it means there are combat craftsmen behind it. The combat craftsman who operates the construct might have discovered them long ago.
