Iron Armored City Chapter 44

Arriving at the mining site of the 'realgar mine', the terrain is relatively low, with small hills on the left, and the surrounding terrain is generally flat.

It is 40 kilometers away from the town of Mambach, 5.8 kilometers away from the Zhenbei Iron Mine, and 12.7 kilometers away from the Snowy Wilderness. The nearest human camps are the Zhenbei Iron Mine, the Snowy Wilderness Supply Station and the Seventh Monitoring Point Camp.

'Zhenbei Iron Mine' has a large number of miners, which is no less than the population of Mambach Town. Daily eating, drinking and drinking are a big problem. Therefore, on the ground, there is a large miner base. People are not machines, so it is impossible Stay in the mine all year round, don't eat, drink or sleep, the miners' base is the place where the miners rest.

Although the safety factor, material reserves, etc. are not as good as Mambach Town, but after all, it is a gathering camp that supports a small number of 100,000 miners, and the scale is not so small.

But now it should be in a state of no one. All the miners, including the personnel in the miner's base, were slaughtered by the gold-eating rats.

The 'Snowy Wilderness Supply Point' is the last place that can be exchanged for supplies in and out of the snowy wasteland. It is not under the jurisdiction of Mambach Town, but it is closely connected with Mambach Town, with a permanent population of two to three thousand.

The seventh monitoring point camp is an observation point set up by the regional lord. Some people say that it is used to detect movements in the snowy wilderness, while others say that it is used to monitor the town of Mambach. What is the specific purpose? Maybe Manbach Lord Bach would know, but ordinary people definitely don't.

There are 'armies' stationed here, and there are at least two iron-clad cities, each of which is not small in size, and it can definitely be ranked among the top 100 in the town of Mambach.

Most importantly, the armored city at the seventh monitoring point is equipped with 'heavy artillery'.

The camp at the seventh monitoring point does not have much contact with the surrounding area. Except for occasionally going to Mambach town for purchases, it is active near the monitoring point at other times.

"It's so cold!"

Standing on the deck of the "Old Castle", Li Yinguang felt that the temperature outside should be almost below zero, and the northwest wind was howling, which made him shrink his neck uncontrollably.

The housekeeper Goda said in a low voice: "It will be even colder if we go on for a few more days. After entering winter, the whole world here will be covered with ice and snow. Even in the daytime, the average temperature will not be lower than minus 40 degrees. It will last for several months."

Li Yinguang frowned and said, "Can the armored city still be activated?"

"It is possible, but it needs to consume more fuel." The steward Goda said helplessly in a low voice: "Master, fuel is a big problem for us, and it should be solved even more than the weapon system. 'The Castle' Once there is no fuel, even if we are not killed by the enemy, we will freeze to death in the wilderness!"

Li Yinguang nodded: "Let's mine the 'realgar mine' first, and when the harvest is almost complete, we will go to the western forest to cut wood."

Wood is the most primitive fuel, and at the same time, it is also the cheapest fuel. But the disadvantages are also obvious. First of all, the kinetic energy it provides to the smelting furnace is limited, and the iron armored city that burns wood cannot 'run'. The second is that storing wood requires a lot of space. Even if it fills the entire Iron Armored City, it will not be able to support the smelting furnace for too long.

When there is no way, the armored city lord will also choose wood as fuel to support it for a period of time.

The preferred fuel is 'black fuel', which is actually hard coal, which can provide a lot of kinetic energy and is distributed over a wide area. However, there are no large-scale black fuel mining areas around the town of Mambach. They are all distributed in small mines. Good luck, Li Yinguang and the others may also meet the 'black fuel mine' in the wild.

Secondly, there are also 'mysterious gems', 'mysterious fuel', 'mysterious ore', etc., which are all treasures that can be directly thrown into the smelting furnace and turned into fuel.

In fact, anything incinerated in a smelting furnace can be converted into kinetic energy, and it is nothing more than a matter of the conversion rate of production.

The 'space radar' detection shows that the 'realgar mine' is more than ten meters away in front of the Gubao, but it needs to be excavated about ten meters down.

It would save a lot of effort if excavation devices were installed on the 'Old Castle'. The problem is that the 'Old Castle' does not have such equipment, so it can only be excavated by machinery and personnel.

The Iron Armored City of the "Old Castle" can provide lighting for those digging below, and the commanding heights can monitor the surrounding movement to prevent accidents.

Construction and excavation at night is not a very good choice, and mining here during the day is not a good choice right now.

At least the surrounding area is safe now, as long as Li Yinguang is driving the 'space radar' on the Gubao, there won't be any major problems.

Just a bit of a fuel drain!

Bucher organized manpower to simply refit the vehicles suitable for excavation, and then put them into excavation.

Li Yinguang's request is to dig as fast as possible, and to mine the 'realgar ore' as soon as he sees it.

Try to finish mining several tons of 'realgar ore' underground before dawn, and then leave, leaving no chance for the pursuers.

The excavation work went relatively smoothly. About an hour later, Goda, the housekeeper, ran up with a piece of 'realgar ore' weighing tens of catties in his hand.

Excitedly said: "Master, I dug it!"

Li Yinguang, who was drowsy, suddenly came to his senses, squatted in front of the 'realgar ore' while studying and said: "Give me an order, except for the necessary guards, everyone else will devote themselves to the mining work~www.mtlnovel.com ~Dig as much as you can, we have to go after dawn!"

"Yes!"

The butler Goda turned and left quickly. Although realgar ore is not very expensive, it is not too cheap either. Most importantly, it is the first time that the Castle has mined ore in the wilderness for the first time.

Li Yinguang put his hand on the 'realgar ore', and a cool energy was drawn out from the 'mysterious gemstone' stitched in his heart in the realgar ore, but the 'realgar ore' did not change much.

The "mysterious gemstone" stitched on the heart absorbs the energy absorbed by the "realgar ore" in nature, not the material energy of the realgar ore itself.

To put it simply, after being absorbed by the 'mysterious gemstone' stitched in the heart, the 'realgar ore' is still a 'realgar ore' that can be used.

Li Yinguang can't say what theories are, but he knows that realgar can be extracted from the 'realgar ore' in his hand.

Just like the pine cone-shaped 'iron-devouring insect nest', although it has been swallowed and absorbed by the 'mysterious gem', it still exists, and it can continue to be used in the same way.

However, after the 'mutated black fuel' was absorbed by the 'mysterious gem' stitched in the heart, it turned into a pile of **** and could not be used again.

Perhaps it was because the 'mutated black fuel' directly turned into 'energy' and stored in the 'mysterious gem' stitched in his heart.

These 'energy' can be directly used in Iron Armored City, which is equivalent to converting the 'smelting furnace' into kinetic energy, so there is no need to exist.

Or the 'mysterious gem' stitched in his heart absorbs a kind of energy that Li Yinguang can't understand. Anyway, after being absorbed by it, whether it is the 'iron-devouring insect nest' or the 'realgar ore' can still be used .
