Qiao An took out his pocket watch and took a look. It was just after two o'clock in the afternoon.
"Mr. Bayerhof, the wolves and storm ghosts that occupied the mine have been wiped out by us. If you don't object, I plan to dig some blue ice ore next."
"Okay, let's go to Mine No. 6, where the veins are buried shallower, and there are a few open-pit mines, so it's easier to dig."
The dwarf rubbed his hands and picked up the pickaxe, intending to help Joan mine.
"Don't bother you, Mr. Bayerhof, I will find a place to dig a new mine." Qiao Ann handed the pocket watch to the dwarf. "It is two o'clock and you can start timing. It is four o'clock, please remind I stopped work."
Bayerhof froze for a moment, then remembered the bet he had made with JoAnn before, and smiled embarrassedly.
"Forget it, Little Brother Qiao'an! I was angrily, don't take it to your heart, you can dig as long as you want."
"Brother Bayerhof, this is your fault!" Clark took the pocket watch for the dwarf, and his smile revealed a weird smile: "The man speaks for it! Brother Qiao Ann said that if you want to mine alone, you have to mine alone, let's not Step in and help! If the time limit is two hours, it means two hours, and the cheap ones with one more second won't account for you! Conversely, if brother Qiao An really digs out 100 tons of blue ice ore in two hours, hehehe... Brother Bayerhof, you have to keep your promises too!"
Bayerhof swallowed hard, with a vague premonition.
However, he couldn't imagine what method Qiao An would use to excavate a new pit in just two hours and extract no less than 100 tons of green ice from it.
This is simply an impossible task!
Even if Qiao An's mana is strong, he wouldn't really be able to complete this "miracle" super project alone?
This is true from common sense, but Bayerhof is inexplicably flustered and always feels that something beyond common sense must happen.
Qiao An was not eager to dig a mine. He took out the "perspective hand mirror" from his storage bag and wandered around in the valley, looking like he was taking a leisurely stroll. Sometimes he picked up the hand mirror and took a picture of the glacier rising in front of him. Photo.
Looking through this small mirror, Qiao An could clearly see the distribution and direction of mineral veins as deep as a hundred feet under the glacier.
After ten minutes, Qiao An stopped in front of an ice hill from a grave.
With the help of the "perspective hand mirror", he discovered that under the ice layer more than five feet thick, there was a small vein of blue ice, and the proven reserves were definitely more than 100 tons.
Okay, this is it!
Qiao An nodded in satisfaction, put away the "perspective hand mirror", and started casting spells on the ice hill.
After a ten-minute long ceremony, Qiao An finally completed the preparations for the 6th ring "Earth Movement", pointing to the ice mound, and chanting the last activation spell symbolizing "Earth".
"Kemen!"
In the area where the ice mound is located, the distribution of the magic net changes, and the majestic magic power is guided by Qiao An, prompting the ice mound to vibrate violently from the inside out. With the rumbling, the hard and brittle ice layer crackles and breaks down into countless numbers. The small ice sand, like a mud-rock flow formed by a landslide, flows slowly in the direction away from Qiao An.
Under Bayerhof’s horrified gaze, it took Qiao An ten minutes to complete the equivalent of millions of cubic feet of earthwork with only a 6th-level spell, cutting off the entire iceberg, and peeling off the thickness covering the surface. The ice, snow and frozen earth reveal the veins hidden in the belly of the glacier, shining coldly and green.
After clearing the surface debris, the mining work will begin.
Qiao An touched the "Essence Necklace", and her slim body swelled sharply, eventually becoming a "Storm Giant" 24 feet tall.
Qiao An was still not satisfied, and then activated the "righteousness like a rainbow" attached to his belt, his body swelled by another level, and his height approached 50 feet.
In the "Heller form", his power attribute reached 56 points. With the use of the original spell "Splitting Palm", the big silver hand shaped out of thin air is about the same size as his current body shape, including a 12-point power increase. The giant palm that covers the sky and the sun has a strength attribute of 68, which can no longer be described as abnormal!
Qiao An switched the "Split Empty Palm" to the "Cut" mode, with his five fingers close together, the edge of his palm was sharp like a razor, and then the giant palm that covered the sky remotely pierced the veins, piercing the green ice that was a hundred feet thick and as hard as steel, like a sharp knife Cutting cheese is so easy.
Swish Swish!
With flying palms, Qiao An expertly dissected the ore veins, divided the ore layers, and dragged the square-cut large ore from the abdomen of the glacier, and placed them neatly on the open space nearby.
In less than half an hour, Qiao An excavated a total of ten huge square ore, estimated to weigh no less than a hundred tons, so he suspended mining and proceeded to refine the mined blue ice ore.
During the formation process of the Qingbing ore for thousands of years, many impurities have been mixed in, as well as various compounds that have undergone alchemical reactions with the Qingbing, which need to be removed.
The usual purification process is to put the ore into a smelting furnace, heat it to above 100 degrees, first melt the outer ice shell, and continue to heat to above 1500 degrees to dissolve the blue ice, and various blue ice compounds decompose at high temperature. Part of the impurities vaporizes and evaporates, and the remaining solid impurities are filtered while hot, and then cooled and solidified, finally obtaining pure green ice.
Qiao An doesn't need to be so troublesome. He draws "the power of mythology" and releases two "mythological advancements" against the ice cubes.
With Qiao'an's current cast level, cast "Mythology Advanced Ghost Axe" once, which can process up to 2,300 cubic feet of raw materials.
The current mined blue ice ore, including impurities, has a total volume of about 3,000 cubic feet, and it is enough to use the "Mythological Advanced Ghost Axe Magician" twice.
Compared with the normal version of "Ghosts", "Myth Advanced Ghosts" can not only separate impurities from the physical level, but also remove those impurities that form compounds with green ice from the level of alchemy reactions, leaving behind nearly 100% pure green ice This is a high specification that is difficult to achieve even in large smelters.
The blue ice that has completed the purification process is fused into 5 large cubes by Qiao'an, each with a net weight of 20 tons.
Clark saw that Qiao Ann canceled his transformation and returned to his normal form. He ended the timer and declared with a smile: "It is still five minutes to three in the afternoon! In other words, Qiao Ann’s total time spent from mining to purifying 100 tons of green ice By the end of an hour, the remaining time is more than working time, so you are too cautious, brother!"
Qiao An smiled embarrassingly, took the pocket watch, turned around and cast the "shrinking technique" on the ice cubes, picked them up one by one, and put them into the storage bag.
