Brush,

A black shadow flew past the rugged mountain ridge. It had a body like a wild boar, with two tusks protruding from its lips. However, its limbs were like raptor claws covered in thick skin. It was obviously capable of both collision and collision.

It is a scratching beast.

However, such a ferocious beast is running for its life, which only proves that something more terrifying is chasing it.

Rushing down from the ridge, the green valley is in front of you, and a trace of joy flashes in the eyes of the wild boar-like monster. As long as it reaches that place, it can escape the pursuit of the enemies behind it.

Now!

Kicking on the ground with all four limbs and jumping forward, the wild boar-like bird-clawed monster flew towards the valley floor below like a 'diving'. It was about to touch the warm soil that was truly home to it——<

/p>

“&%￥#!”Ice Spear

The sharp ice gun whizzed in with the rapidly rotating cold air, but it was not to attack the monster, but to aim at the place where it landed: as the ice gun landed first, the sound of clicking was accompanied by a white

The cold air spread quickly and immediately expanded into thick ice crystals with a radius of several meters at the bottom of the valley.

There was no time to brake in mid-air, and the wild boar-like bird-clawed monster hit the ice crystals covering the ground.

Bang,

The wild boar-like body was raised high, clawing at the monster that flew away. It was dizzy and tried to stand up on the ice crystal. But a figure had already leaped over, and a calm voice sounded in its ears:

"Don't move,"

Just words can't make the monster obedient, but the black muzzle is very intimidating! Although the monster doesn't know the 'gun', the 'arrows' shot from the weird crossbow blasted through the big tree.

The terrifying scene of exploding rocks was so vivid that the monster with high IQ was afraid to move for an instant.

"Woo woo woo,"

Whimpering like a puppy, the wild boar monster exposed its belly and wagged its tail in an attempt to beg for mercy.

"Wow, click, click, run, why don't you run?"

Amidst the arrogant laughter, the blond flying squirrel also leaped over and landed next to the ice covering the ground, with his hands on his hips.

"Damn you, when you dug up the big tree where I hid my food, did you ever think of this day? I'd rather bully a white-bearded man than a poor young man! Waka ka ka~~~"

Seeing Momonga's extremely arrogant face, a humane expression of 'thinking' appeared on the monster boar-like face, and then he suddenly realized. One sentence: It turns out to be your kid...

"Now, you have two choices. Li Li——"

The black muzzle of the gun was pressed against the temple of this 'lili', making it unable to move except for moving its eyes.

"First, join my team: you will have enough food, and training resources will be distributed as appropriate, but you need to work 8 hours a day for me, and overtime pay on holidays will be calculated separately."

In the dull eyes of the pig-headed 'Li Li', Li Yu continued.

"Second, kill you, and then use your corpse to make a magic weapon for digging. Although the success rate is difficult to guarantee, for me it is just a loss of some time."

But what I lost was my life!!

Lili only regrets that he has not transformed yet, otherwise he would have scolded him on the spot.

"If you choose one, you will nod, if you choose two, you will shake your head. Then——"

Nod like crazy!

Those who understand current affairs are heroes, and those who adapt to changes are heroes.

As a monster with a high IQ, this raccoon still understands this truth. What's more, the opponent's 'crossbow arrow' is on its head. If it doesn't understand the current situation, it will be skinned and cramped.

"Winnie,"

Li Yu turned his head and gave a look,

Winnie, who was standing nearby, walked over and slashed her index finger with the short knife in her hand.

Blood gushed out from her fingers. Winnie squatted down without changing her expression and placed her fingers on Li Li's forehead. Although Li Li instinctively felt bad, the "Crossbow" next to her made her give up her plan to struggle.

Let this female terrifying upright ape point her finger on its forehead, and then scratch it with her nails.

"Woo~~~!"

It was as if he was suddenly struck by lightning, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably. Li Li grabbed the ice under him crazily! The four sharp claws in the shape of a raptor tore the ice crystals into fragments flying all over the sky, with a wild boar-like face.

It's full of panic and pain.

Because on its forehead, Winnie's blood penetrated into the fur cut by nails like a living thing, and submerged into its forehead. The blood streaks finally sutured the wound 'intimately'.

"Done,"

Li Yu stood up. Although Winnie is not often used, she is a real 'witch':

He has initially mastered various black magic, can cast curses through blood and other media, and is good at interfering with other people's divination.

Brush——

While Li Yu was getting up, Li Li, who was still twitching just now, suddenly stood up, clawed deeply into the ice with his four claws, and suddenly jumped to the side!

Poof,

With a soft sound, Lili finally landed on the soil outside the ice; just like falling into water, the surrounding soil turned into liquid and rippled away, giving it a way to escape.

"Ouch~~?!"

Most of its body melted into the soil and Lili howled in pain. It was obviously dry soil, but it was rolling around like crazy in mud, with smoke and dust everywhere.

"@#￥,"(Pain Curse)

Because Winnie next to me just said a password,

"Don't even think about escaping unless you are sure you can lift the curse."

Li Yu had already put away the 'Long Roar No. 2' and waved to Li Li, who was lying in the dirt like a dead pig.

"Follow me."

————

After the third princess opened a direct passage to the mineral vein, and in the open-pit mine where the land was cleared away by her, a large number of young people from Leyuan County gathered here: a new lookout was built on the nearby mountain.

Several leaders of the village took people there to guard and watch.

This is not Leyuan County. Without the protection of the City God, mountain spirits, monsters, demons and monsters may attack workers: it is still dangerous even in broad daylight.

Of course, for Li Yu and the other three C-level high-ranking beings, the danger is the little monsters and monsters that dare to approach them. For example, those who follow Li Yu are dejected, with the body of a wild boar, but their limbs are like chicken feet.

Lili'.

"Look, let's dig and level the ground from here to there. During the process, we need to clear away stones, shrubs and the like..."

Li Yu began to assign tasks to the newly added "Li Li". As a natural beast, it not only has a strong IQ, but also has awakened bloodline talents: it is truly "like a fish in water" in the soil, and can easily cut those rocks, shrubs

Move away or something.

Since Li Yu made the pot camel machine, there is no reason not to make a convenient means of transportation like a 'steam train'. Even on this central Guizhou Road with extremely difficult traffic, a winding road along the foot of the mountain

Roads and rail tracks are not a problem.

With railway tracks, the transportation capacity will be greatly improved, at least it will be enough to collect and distribute materials between several 'mining areas'.

"Teacher, follow your instructions and start coking the coal."

"Yeah,"

Letting the "Li Li" who had been cursed by Winnie start cleaning the roadbed, Li Yu followed Nie Lan to the coal coke chemical plant not far from the coal mine excavation site.

It is better to say it is a factory than a construction site! 2 to 4 tons of coal are piled on the ground in a semicircular pile with a diameter of 3 to 4 meters at the bottom. The top is covered with straw to start a fire. After 4 to 5 days, coke can be obtained. The coke formation rate

Less than half, and there are also shortcomings such as serious pollution and terrible waste... But, in the early stages of development, that's how it is.

This "local method" of coking was used during a period of large-scale steelmaking in Li Yu's previous life. Facts have proved that if something safe, efficient, and precise is abandoned... the local method can also produce the needed products.

something.

"According to the drawings I gave you, start building the coke oven. Waste and pollution don't matter, but at least I can collect coal tar."

Li Yu threw the drawings he copied from his cell phone to the blacksmith girl Nie Lan. It's hard to say what the result would be, but it would be better than the current open-air coking method. The reason why Li Yu attaches so much importance to the coking of coal is that

High-temperature carbonization is because if you want to make iron, you need coke: you can't use charcoal to make iron, right?

Moreover, coal coking not only produces coke for ironmaking, but also gas and coal tar.

Coal gas is a variety of chemical raw materials, which can be used to synthesize rubber, fertilizers and other industrial products; coal tar can be used to synthesize plastics, synthetic fibers, pesticides, saccharin, dyes, medicines, explosives and other industrial products... It can be said that

Without coal, there would be no first industrial revolution.

"Mr. Li Yu, are you really ready to copy the path of 'Emperor Russell'?"

Winnie, who was following behind, couldn't help but ask, more than 150 years have passed since the first industrial revolution in her hometown. Various technologies related to coal coking have become increasingly mature. Although Winnie is an assassin, she also came into contact with it during the mission.

Having learned a lot about this aspect, one can naturally see what Li Yu is planning to do.

"Yes,"

"First, complete the coal coking, then the blast furnace ironmaking, and then the converter steelmaking... Hey, even I can't make these things in one step."

Li Yu couldn't help but sigh. Although he had a plug-in for drawings on his mobile phone and had the gold-melting and iron-melting hands to easily knead various metal parts, his personal strength was limited after all. He had to hand-knead high-temperature retorting towers, vertical reactors, and top-to-bottom complexes.
