Chapter 35 Clues to Heavy Iron Ore
Chapter 35 Clues to Heavy Iron Ore
"Are you telling the truth?!"
Su Yang was extremely excited.
If there is a heavy iron ore deposit here, it would be excellent news for the Great Xia Dynasty.
At least for the initial research on heavy railways, there is no need to worry about the shortage of raw materials.
As for what comes next.
It depends on whether Han Bei can reliably control the opening of the portal. If he can...
There's absolutely no need to worry about the quantity of heavy iron.
"It's true. The high priest revealed it unintentionally during a conversation, and I happened to be nearby at the time."
Arcana nodded.
However, the reason why she was standing there was not explained.
At that time, Akana was assigned to serve the high priest, taking care of his daily needs.
I've heard about certain things.
"Because this heavy iron mine is not very large, the high priest does not attach much importance to it."
"Arkana, this is fantastic news!"
Su Yang excitedly hugged Arcana.
Akana, who was being hugged by Su Yang, was immediately stunned, clearly not understanding why the other party was so excited.
"Wow, Dr. Su has such unusual tastes?!"
Han Bei stared at Su Yang in disbelief, while Guo Yong and Zhu Haotian, standing to the side, were also dumbfounded at the scene.
While it's true that freaks should be paired with freaks, shouldn't we still respect the boundaries of their race?
Feeling the burning gaze behind him, Su Yang's expression stiffened, and he quickly released Arcana.
"Sorry, I got a little excited."
"fine."
Arcana shook his head, but his heart felt like a pebble falling into water, creating ripples.
"You, and you too, you really think I didn't hear you, huh?"
Su Yang couldn't help but roll her eyes at Han Bei and the others, then gritted her teeth and spoke.
"Do you know what Arcana just said?"
"Does she like you?"
Guo Yong tentatively spoke.
"Like you, my foot!"
Su Yang couldn't resist pinching Guo Yong's injured left hand, causing Guo Yong to wince in pain.
"Arkana said that there is a small heavy iron ore deposit near the Dead Lands."
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, then their faces lit up with joy.
Those researchers who clearly understood the value of heavy railways were the happiest of all.
For them.
Su Yang's words just now were like a pie falling from the sky.
A small heavy iron ore deposit is enough for Da Xia to study in a short period of time.
While it may not be enough to support national development, it is more than sufficient to help them understand which areas heavy railways are used in.
"Dr. Su, where is that mother mine? Let's move a dozen truckloads of it!"
One of the researchers spoke up excitedly.
"That's right, that's right."
"Move more this time, so we won't have to go through all that trouble."
Many people nodded in agreement.
For them, it would be better to take as much heavy iron as possible back while they still have time.
After all, there was only a little over a day left before they could travel back in time.
It's obviously unrealistic to keep going back and forth like that.
The best way is to find that heavy iron ore deposit, mine enough heavy iron, and bring it back.
This will also prevent any mishaps from happening.
"this."
Su Yang was visibly taken aback when he heard this.
I was so excited that I forgot to ask about the exact location of the Arcana heavy iron ore deposit.
"Arkana, do you know the exact location of the heavy iron ore mother deposit?"
Su Yang looked at Arcana. Although he felt that the other party did not know the location of the heavy iron mother mine, he still held a glimmer of hope.
After all, the other party had previously stated that only a true high priest would know how to find the mother ore of heavy iron.
Arcana isn't a high priest, so logically he shouldn't know the location of the heavy iron ore deposit.
"have no idea."
Arcana shook his head.
What a joke.
If she hadn't been sent to serve the High Priest, she probably wouldn't have even imagined that there would be a heavy iron ore deposit in the Dead Land.
After all, the Land of the Dead is not a good place.
They'd rather stay far away, so why would they care about that hopeful thing?
If Su Yang and the others hadn't been searching for heavy iron, Arcana wouldn't have remembered these things.
"Okay, thank you anyway."
Su Yang nodded and gave Arcana a friendly smile.
He then turned to look at Han Bei and the others.
"Arkana doesn't know the location of the mother mine, so we'll have to find it ourselves."
"But given our current situation, is it really possible to find the location of the mother mine before nightfall?"
Han Bei frowned slightly.
Previously, we could search such a wide area by going so far.
It's entirely because of the existence of off-road vehicles.
But now that the off-road vehicles are stopped outside the stone forest, they can only explore on foot.
"Let's try it first. If it doesn't work, see if we can take a detour."
Zhang Changgong pondered for a moment before speaking.
It's impossible to release it.
All they could do was find the heavy iron ore deposit as quickly as possible.
Then start mining, leave overnight, and start mining again.
Once they had collected a sufficient quantity, they drove back and carried the heavy iron back to Daxia.
"That's right, whatever we do, we have to do it first. As for the outcome, we'll decide."
Su Yang nodded in agreement.
"Teams one and two, follow me back to get the infrasound detector."
Zhang Changgong's steady and powerful voice rang out.
"The third team will stay behind to cover the rear."
"clear!"
Watching Zhang Changgong and his group return, Su Yang couldn't help but ask Han Bei.
"How much time do we have left before we get back?"
"Exactly thirty hours and twenty-four minutes."
Han Bei glanced at the ticking countdown and answered truthfully.
"Hopefully there's enough time."
Su Yang sighed.
Time was running out, and he wasn't sure if he could find the heavy iron ore mine before returning.
Moreover, the mother ore also needs to be excavated.
A few minutes later, Zhang Changgong and his group arrived in front of Su Yang, each carrying a detector.
"Should we stick to the original plan?"
Zhang Changgong raised an eyebrow and looked at Su Yang.
"no problem."
Su Yang gave an OK sign.
He naturally knew what Zhang Changgong was talking about. The previous exploration was done by driving an off-road vehicle, but this time it was done on foot.
"Everyone, if you find small pieces of heavy iron, you don't need to report it. Each team can dig them up on their own."
Su Yang addressed everyone.
"If you encounter any danger, remember to contact us immediately. The other two teams will rush to your side to help as quickly as possible."
"clear!"
The crowd responded in unison.
Then, the group of dozens of people split into three groups and each headed in a different direction to explore.
"Doctor Su..."
Su Yang, who was focused on exploring the road, turned around with some suspicion when he heard a slightly unfamiliar voice.
Turning around, I saw Akana opening and closing his mouth, trying to make a sound.
"What's wrong with you?"
Su Yang couldn't help but ask.
Why did you suddenly get something stuck in your throat?
"I heard them all calling you that, so I wanted to try it too, but your language is so difficult."
Arcana gave an awkward smile.
