My Empire War Game

After negotiating the distribution agreement, more details began to be discussed above. The workshop for refining Mithril must be built in San Firto City, and strict registration is required to enter here. The reason for this is to prevent those wizards from skimping in the process of refining Mithril.

The silver mine associated with the Mithril mine that Edmund discovered was not far from San Firto City, it was located in the southeast of San Firto City, and the straight-line distance was about 50 kilometers. This is a mountain range. It not only has silver mines, but also iron ore, copper mines, and coal mines. It can be said that this is an important raw material base for San Ferto City.

There is a small town at the foot of the mountain. This town has no name, but it is called a mining town because it is at the foot of the mine. Now this small town has become overcrowded in just one week. A large number of miners came here from the city of San Fierto.

These miners were originally residents of the slums. Originally, these people were carrying out urban construction, and Su Lun specially dispatched some of them to mine. Because of the iron-making blast furnace, the consumption of iron ore in San Ferto City has increased several times. In order to supply consumption, the output of iron ore can only be expanded. A large part of these miners are sent to the iron ore factory.

Su Lun and Edmund came to Mining Town together. The silver mine where Mithril was discovered is also here. Silver and Mithril seem to have undergone tremendous changes in physical and chemical properties due to the special environment and energy. According to the research left over from the era of the Arcane Empire, Mithril is the product of the mutation of the silver element in the earth's crust.

It usually only appears in worlds or planes where [Elemental Tide] has occurred. The distribution of this metal is irregular and the amount is very rare, but it is distributed all over the continent, but the content of this metal is very low. , can only be found by luck.

The most famous description about this metal is "hard as a dragon scale, light as a feather", but in fact, although Mithril is extremely strong, its weight is still close to half of iron, and light as a feather is an exaggeration. Mithril weighs only one third of silver.

The real value of Mithril is its amazing ductility and magic conductivity. It will never fade after being refined, and its physical properties are extremely stable. It is the metal material with the highest magic conductivity among all known metals and alloys. Magical constructs made of mithril can be used for thousands of years without worrying about natural wear and tear.

There was once a mithril chain mail in the era of the Arcane Empire. This chain mail has strong defense power and is very light. Runes are engraved on every buckle on this chain mail. In addition to having powerful In addition to its defensive power, it is also equipped with many powerful spells, and this is one of the rare powerful armors that will not interfere with wizards' spellcasting.

This piece of equipment can be said to be an artifact for those wizards, but it is still a very extravagant behavior to forge armor with mithril. If its conductivity is not considered, the hardness of mithril is not considered among many metals and alloys. the best.

For example, fine gold, this metal has strong defensive ability, and the armor made of it is very strong, and in addition to excellent physical defense, fine gold armor also has strong magic defense, fine gold can also be used to make weapons, use Weapons made of fine gold are very sharp, and can directly ignore 20 points of defense, and ordinary heavy armor can be easily pierced. Its value is not much lower than Mithril.

Su Lun brought many workers to the mining town. After a day of rest here, he went to the silver mine in the mountains. This silver mine was only discovered in the city of San Ferto in recent years. It is the only silver mine in the Kingdom of Florence. It is considered an above-average mine.

Of course, Su Lun didn't care about the amount of silver produced here. After all, the price of one ounce of Mithril could easily buy several tons of silver.

Su Lun looked at the silver mine in front of him. The surrounding area of ​​the silver mine was very simple. The entire silver mine was surrounded by a three-meter-high wall. There was a row of simple and low houses next to it. The living conditions were very poor. A luxurious three-storey villa. There are only three mines in the mine, and there are only more than 200 mining workers with numb expressions and skinny slaves. It seems that a gust of wind can blow them down. There are also a large number of powerful guards around the mine. Patrol around.

Su Lun patrolled the mine with a blank expression, while the mine manager next to him followed cautiously.

"Your Majesty, this silver mine can excavate about ten tons of ore every day, and after refining, you can get about 30 kilograms of silver." The steward of the silver mine, Hader, moved his chubby body, with a flattering expression on his face. The expression on his fat body was strangled by the clothes on his body, which made people worry that the buttons of his clothes would be undone in the next second.

"Your Majesty, it's windy outside, why don't you go to the office and wait?"

Su Lun glanced around the mine, then nodded: "Okay, you send someone to bring over some of the various ores from the silver mine."

"Of order, I'll send someone to do it." After sending Su Lun and the others to the villa, Hader immediately sent someone to collect the silver ore. After waiting for about ten minutes, a basket of silver ore was sent over .

Su Lun picked up a piece of silver ore at random. This piece of ore weighed about five kilograms. It was gray on the surface and did not have the bright color of silver at all. It looked inconspicuous at all. This is a normal phenomenon. Oxidation reactions will occur in the medium, and most of the silver-white silver is just smelted, and it will turn black after a period of time.

The silver coins in circulation will basically be added with some other metals. Because pure silver is soft and not resistant to wear, some copper will be added. For example, the ratio of silver to copper in the silver coins produced in Zhenbei City is eight to two. Twenty percent of the silver nar is copper, but the price of silver coins is calculated based on 100 percent pure silver.

The silver coins minted in Zhenbei City are exquisite in shape and heavy in weight, and are very popular in transactions, much more popular than the original silver coins minted by the Kingdom of Florence.

Casting a silver coin in this way can make at least 15% of the profit, so casting silver Gnar is a very profitable business. In addition to Silver Gnar, the same is true for Kinnar. Gold is softer than silver. It is easily damaged during circulation, so copper is also added to the casting of Jinnar, with a ratio of 85% and 15% respectively.

It can be said that a mint is a hen that lays golden eggs. Now the Zhenbei City Mint's monthly profit exceeds 20,000 guinars.

The minting workshop in Zhenbei City is forged by a water conservancy minting machine. The forging speed is fast, the process is simple, and the cost is low. It was intended to establish a mint also in San Fierto.

There was nothing special about the piece of silver ore in front of him. After a brief inspection, Su Lun put it down, and then continued to search for other silver ore. A full basket of silver ore weighed more than two hundred catties. Su Lun and The wizard Edmund began to inspect, and soon Su Lun found a piece of ore that was different from other ores.

This is a piece of ore slightly larger than a fist. The surface of the ore is also gray, but apart from the gray, there are also some fine silver-blue particles on the surface of the ore. These particles reflect some luster under the sunlight. Su Lun nodded slightly, put the silver ore aside calmly, and continued to search among the pair of ores.

The amount of ore of more than two hundred catties is not much. After spending about fifteen minutes, all the ores were inspected. The two of them found three silver-blue ores from the pile of ores. Granular ore. The combined weight of these ores is only about five kilograms.

These ores are naturally Mithril mines, but the amount of Mithril contained on them is pitifully small. This is basically the normal distribution of Mithril mines. According to legend, a separate Mithril vein was discovered in the Age of the Arcane Empire, which contains The amount of Mithril is unbelievable.

Because the mithril mines are very scattered and the quantity is scarce, it is possible that all such silver mines are excavated, and the mithril obtained in the end weighs only a few dozen catties, so it is very difficult to steal the mithril mines.

After confirming that this silver mine was indeed accompanied by a mithril mine, Su Lun felt at ease, and then the entire silver mine was taken over by Su Lun's people. Thirty soldiers were transferred from the private guards. These soldiers will serve as the guards of the silver mine. At the same time, the original steward of the silver mine was sent back to the prison in San Firto City for reform, and Kane was re-appointed as the supervisor of the silver mine. .

Next, this silver mine still needs to be remodeled, at least to make this simple and primitive production mode of carrying people on shoulders more advanced. Two railway tracks will be laid in the mine to transport ore, and the passage also needs to be increased. Wide, and increase various easy-to-operate mechanical tools.

Originally, the workers in the mine were slaves, their enthusiasm for work was very low, the food was also very poor, and the work was carried out while the foreman beat and scolded them with a whip. Their work efficiency is naturally pitifully low, and Su Lun naturally will not do this. He plans to adopt the method of metered production, and stipulates the minimum standard for each person to collect ore every day, and there will be food after completion.

Of course, the food is better than before. It can only maintain the basic consumption. On top of this, there are grades. When the amount of ore collected reaches the level, you can get the corresponding treatment. As long as you work hard to mine, you will have meat It's perfectly fine.

In addition to these, Su Lun also stipulated that as long as he has worked in this mine for three years and the amount of ore collected during the period reaches a certain standard, he can obtain the status of a free citizen and receive 30 silver coins reward.
