Within a few days, the exploration team set out at sunrise and returned at sunset every day, without any gains.

Lin Zhensheng is not in a hurry.

This kind of thing is inherently time-consuming and labor-intensive and full of randomness.

If he had found other territories on the first day, there would be no need for Lin Zhensheng to send people out now, he would have been discovered by others long ago.

Take your time.

The best thing is that nothing happens.

The territory is developing steadily and rapidly, especially the fishing brigade.

Since the tool bench unlocked iron tools, they have iron axes and iron saws, and their work efficiency has really increased.

As a result, there are people on the Dongliangjiang River and Funnel Lake all the time, which is a very rewarding day.

Fortunately, the flax fish have big eyes, otherwise Lin Zhensheng would be afraid that they would wipe out the fish species.

Next is the logging factory. Also due to the upgrading of tools, the number of logging is increasing day by day. The tens of thousands of stocks stand out among the others, making it the largest quantity of materials in the territory's warehouse. Lin Zhensheng doesn't want to send more people there.

There is nothing much to say about the textile factory and Beishan Duck Farm. We must proceed steadily and neither retreat nor approach.

The only thing with no news is Beishan Racecourse, which is like a stone sinking into the sea, without any movement.

Training horses.

It takes time.

It also depends on talent.

Lin Zhensheng's brows were furrowed and he was trying to comfort himself. He could only push back his desire to ride a big horse.

However, Lin Zhensheng did not expect that the busiest thing in the territory would be Base Camp East Road.

Large trains of fish-carrying trucks shuttle back and forth, leaving no time for leisure.

Good guy.

Should I say it or not, this road is worth building.

It provides a lot of convenience to the territory.

Time passes slowly, and the [Danger Alert] countdown is gradually approaching.

【1 day:12:54:12】

Late at night.

Lights are everywhere in the territory building.

Lin Zhensheng was too busy and couldn't sleep.

There was really nothing to do, so he could only sit in front of the table, resting his chin on his palm, seemingly looking at the stars in the sky, but actually watching the channel.

"Have everyone raised their walls to their highest point? There's a snowstorm coming soon."

"The price of clay on the market is too high. Are you crazy? A basic material doesn't cost 17 or 18 yuan per serving, right?"

"What can you do? It's freezing cold. Even if you have clay mines, it's useless. You can't collect them. Everyone is selling their inventory, and the price must be high!"

"I didn't get promoted, so I have no choice. I have no money and no materials. But I guess there should be no problem. After all, it's just a snowstorm. It's just a little bit more windy and snowy. It'll be over soon."

"I see you are so damn optimistic. The scars have healed and you have forgotten the pain. There was a time before... I forgot what it was called. Anyway, it was like hail, which could directly penetrate the roof. Forgot?

”

"The wall has several uses, it is nothing more than to make it stronger. I haven't been promoted since the beginning of winter, isn't it fine now? Don't let others fool you, you must have the ability to distinguish yourself."

"How did the price of grain become like this? I haven't looked at the trading market for three days, why has it reached a new high? I really need money rather than my life."

……………………

You won’t know it until you see it, but you will be shocked when you see it.

Lin Zhensheng never expected that even though the territory level had reached this stage, there would still be people who still refused to upgrade the wall.

He is a true warrior.

However, could he be a traitor?

It seems friendly, but in fact, it digs trenches for others.

Not sure.

Tsk tsk tsk~ There are bad people in the channel.

Lin Zhensheng went to the trading market and scanned the market again. Basically everything was increasing in price, and the price was very large.

I mentioned the situation before, but I won’t mention it now.

The main things that are rising in front of me are still the same ones, clay, corn and... typhoid and cough pulp.

Yes, that's right.

The price of this thing has gone up again, but it’s not as outrageous as it was before. The price is still stable at around 1,500.

Quite reasonable.

After all, it is now minus 30 degrees, and no one can protect anyone from catching a cold at any time.

"Dang Dang Dang."

Suddenly someone knocked on the door.

Lin Zhensheng looked at the door with confusion.

"Huh?"

At this point, who could be knocking on the door?

When you open the door, you are greeted by citizens with frost on their eyelashes, five people in front and behind.

Lin Zhensheng knew at a glance that he was from the exploration team, and their team was probably just back.

You came to see me right after you came back, something is wrong!

Have you discovered other territories?

Lin Zhensheng hurriedly welcomed them in, first got them a few cups of hot water to warm their bodies, and then asked: "What did you find?"

The citizen threw down his hat, wiped his face and said: "Lord, according to the allocation, our team is one of the teams heading north."

"But we did not take the conventional route along the foot of Beishan Mountain, but took the east Liangjiang River."

"Walking along the ice all the way north, we reached the cliff of Beishan, and then turned east."

"We walked along the river between Beishan and Zhongshan. After walking for about ten kilometers, we found a dense forest."

"The dense forest here is close to Zhongshan, but the terrain is very high and does not belong to the Zhongshan lineage."

"Our team felt that there must be something fishy here, so we walked in."

"So I found this..."

After saying this, the citizen took out a stone from his bag and put it on the table.

Fist size.

Half black and half red.

The dark places are as black as ink and filled with oil.

The red areas are as red as blood, with flaky patterns.

Lin Zhensheng picked it up and turned it around a few times, wondering: What is this?

However, he still put it on the table first and asked the citizen: "Is it much?"

"Well... there is snow on the mountain, so I don't know the exact number. But we can indeed see some, scattered on the surface of the mountain."

"Well, okay! Thank you for your hard work. You can go back and rest first."

"Yes, Lord."

Citizen farewell.

Lin Zhensheng looked at the stones on the table, thought about it again and again, and opened the channel.

[Lin Zhensheng: Dongdong, I will give you a stone in a moment. You can see if it can be smelted in a furnace.]

[Shengdongdong: What is it? Brother.]

[Lin Zhensheng: If I knew, I wouldn’t need you.]

[Shengdongdong: Okay, I understand.]

[Lin Zhensheng: It’s in storage, that half-black and half-red unknown ore. I’m going to sleep first.]

[Midwinter: Received.]

Lin Zhensheng saw the unknown ore disappearing into the territory's warehouse and went to bed.

In the middle of winter, I took out an unknown ore, and without knowing where it was, I threw it into the earthen furnace that happened to be empty.
