Vol 3 Chapter 1982: -iron ore

After Al Liang had finished speaking, everyone turned their heads to look at him speechlessly.
Immediately, Aliang let out an er, and asked, "What are you doing, what are you all looking at me doing like this? Did I say something wrong?"
The corners of everyone's mouth twitched, and after all, Li Huo's heart was the number one big tiger, and he really dared to say anything.
No, everyone laughed: "No, you are right."
A Liang just grinned.
It was Ji Zei who laughed and cursed at A Liang: "You fellow, you are crazy, I have nothing good."
"The king, what's the matter with your smile just now?"
Ji Thief grinned: "What, I can't laugh anymore? Tell you, there is a reason for what I did just now."
Everyone was puzzled: "What?"
The thief turned around and pointed his hand at the mountain wall: "This is it."
A Liang leaned his head up in confusion, and drew out Tai Ajian and knocked on the mountain wall: "This is nothing? I can't see any difference. Isn't this just an ordinary stone."
Ji Thief shook his head and said that he really has no common language with you.
Without waiting for Aliang to say anything else, the thief turned his head and rushed to A Rou, saying: "Come to A Rou, you tell everyone what you just said to me."
A Rou nodded, then wondered: "My lord, what are you talking about?"
"It's the stone in this cave."
Ah Rou said twice: "It's nothing, but we found that the stone spear made from the stone in this cave is stronger and harder than the ordinary stone spear. Just one thing, the stone inside is not good. To make a stone spear for polishing, it takes ten times as long as an ordinary stone spear."
Ji Thief smiled and nodded, and at the same time looked back at everyone: "Understood?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Li Ya suddenly uttered, "I see, you want to be a stone spear, A thief? No, our bronze spear is much better than a stone spear."
Shou pinched his chin and muttered, "Do you want to replace the stone of the trebuchet with the stone in this valley?"
Ji Thief was speechless: "I said, can't your thinking jump?"
Aliang, who was beating the mountain wall, turned back: "Jumping? How do you jump? Is that how you jump?"
As he said, Aliang jumped in place.
Ji Zei waved his hand: "You should forget it, shut your mouth."
Aliang: "···"
Now A Liang didn't understand, he spread his hands and said, "It's not the king, we have to make sense, right? It's the jump you said."
Ji thief sighed, "I will tell you if I take you too much."
Shouqian said, "My lord, just tell me what's going on. We don't understand."
The thief laughed happily: "Remember the metal weapons I told you before?"
Everyone blinked: "Bronze spear?"
The thief nodded: "Yes, metal, including brass, tin, and bronze mixed with the two. It's on top of bronze."
With that, Ji Thief hooked A Liang, who didn't understand, and asked Ji Thief what he was doing.
Ji Zei rolled his eyes: "Give me Tai'a sword."
Ah Liang said, and handed Tai A Jian up.
Ji Zei reached out his hand to catch the sword, and flicked his finger at the sword.
Suddenly, Tai A Jian trembled as a dragon.
Then, Ji Thief looked at everyone and smiled: "Above bronze, it's iron."
Everyone: "Iron?"
The thief nodded: "Yes, this too A sword, and my Xuanyuan sword, are all iron, but it's meteorite iron."
The hunter questioned: "Then what does this have to do with your laughter, King?"
Ji Zei said, "How can it be said that it doesn't matter? Go ahead if it matters."
When talking, Ji Zei paused, holding Tai'a sword and pointed to the side.
Aliang was clever when he was on the side, and he hurriedly smiled and said, "The king, be careful, don't stab me."
Ji Thief was speechless: "Why are you still standing, get out of it."
Aliang yelled twice and quickly avoided.
Immediately, Ji Zei pointed at the stone wall with Tai'a sword: "The reason I laugh is because this valley is actually an iron mine!"
When the words fell, everyone's eyes turned round, almost falling off.
One by one, they all exclaimed: "What!!!"
A Liang exaggerated even more, turning his head to look at Shek Pik: "This is iron ore?"
The thief nodded; "Yes."
Tushan and Hunter stepped forward: "My lord, do you mean the same iron ore as our copper mine in the eastern plain?"
The thief nodded: "Ah, yes, I was not sure at first, but now, I am sure, this place is an iron mine."
As he said, Ji Thief also chuckled: "That's why there is no grass in this valley, no trees, and the reason why the beasts are unwilling to approach. Because there is too much iron ore hidden under the valley, whether it is weeds or trees, None of them can take root here. At the same time, because of their natural aversion to metal, beasts are unwilling to approach. Don’t believe me, now you go to see the giant wolves and Sabretooth tigers we rode when we came to see what they are now Kind of reaction."
Ah Zheng immediately turned and ran out: "I'm going!"
Ah Zheng went quickly, and came back quickly.
He came back shortly after he ran out. When he came back, his face was surprised: "My lord, it really is the same as what you said. The Sabretooth Tiger and the Giant Wolf are all crawling on the ground in a spiritless manner, and we yesterday They were fed meat, they didn't move at all."
Ji Thief opened his hands: "Look."
A Liang still didn't understand, and looked closer at the black stone on the stone wall: "This thing is really iron ore? King, are you sure?"
Ji thief kept rolling his eyes: "Nonsense, I watched several caves in a row. I still can't confirm these?"
With that said, Ji Thief picked up a piece of iron ore that he had knocked on the gong and threw it to A Liang: "If you don’t believe it, take it out and compare it with the normal stone, and see if the iron ore is darker than the normal stone. , It looks more integrated."
Aliang: "Uh..."
After such a meeting, Ah Huang, who had nothing to say during the whole process, suddenly asked a question: "Majesty, if this is really iron ore, can our people be equipped with a sharp and strong weapon like Xuanyuan Sword in the future?"
When Ah Huang's words fell, everyone at the scene was shocked.
Yes, iron ore has been discovered, isn't everyone's weapon updated to the same level as Xuanyuan Sword?
In this case, will it affect it?
Think about it, the weapons of ordinary people are the same as those of the king.
It seems that I have thought of this a long time ago, Ji Thief smiled cheerfully: "Afraid, you have to worry too much about this. Our weapons are all made of meteorite, and their sturdiness is much stronger than ordinary iron ore. Up."
Aliang screamed, "Then what is the use of this iron ore?"
Everyone also said: "Yes, there is no need to update it at all."
Ji Thief tusk tusk shakes his hand: "No, no, you are all wrong. This iron ore is still necessary."
Everyone: "???"
Ji Zei smiled and said: "First of all, although this iron ore is not stronger than meteorite iron, it is no problem than bronze. Secondly, who told you that iron ore must be used for weapon replacement?"
Everyone was taken aback: "Is it not?"
Ji Thief feels very tired: "Everyone, can't iron be used in daily life? Aside from the distance, it is always okay to make kitchen utensils? Iron pot kitchen knives, spoons and shovel, are they not fragrant?"
Everyone: "Uh..."
"The farm tools can also be replaced with iron tools. A Wei did not just react once before. When the bronze tools are working, they will be damaged in a short time. The service life is shorter than that of the bronze spear. After replacing it with stronger ironware, imagine whether our agriculture will skyrocket."
Everyone blinked at the scene.
"On buildings, do you need iron nails and hammers? For hunting, can you also use iron brier traps? Didn't you think of these?"
Everyone looked at each other, and finally, Aliang shook his head and said, "Great King, this is really unexpected."
Ji thief: "···"
"In addition to being used in daily life and weapons, ironware has another function."
"what?"
"Reinforcement. Whether it is a boat, a carriage or a building, it can be reinforced with iron. Of course, the most important point is that with iron, we can start building iron armor."
"It's not the king, you're kidding, we all have vine armor."
