Chapter 132: Black swamp

Of course, Tang En didn't know that he was almost caught by Elijah. After returning to Furnace Village, it didn't take long for the big troops to leave.
The dwarves of Slag Village are very accustomed to this annual big migration operation, and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner. Under the almost primitive conditions of this communication, the operation efficiency and discipline performance are so powerful, which makes Tang En Very surprised.
And Brian finally did n’t have to be tortured by flying anymore, so the spirit on the road was very good, and he kept talking to other people. Under Tang ’s advice, he described Ellington very well. Make Tang En blush a little.
However, the effect was also very good. On the first day, they gathered in another dwarf village. Twenty more dwarves were determined to go to Ellington, so that Tang En could not shut up happily.
In the next few days, the trip was very smooth. There were already thousands of dwarves in the assembly. Such a huge team did not even dare to harass WoW, and the speed of progress was faster than the beginning.
"It's very close to Blacksmithing."
On this day, Brian pointed to the main peak of the Ambris Mountains in front of the clouds and flaunted to Tang En: "Forge Hammer is built on the mountainside of Ambris. It ’s not me, big brother, your human city is weak Then, only the forge hammer can be regarded as a truly unbreakable castle. "
"I'll wait and see."
"Soon you can see, it's not really far, but it will take one day to cross the Black Marsh tomorrow, and it will take two days to arrive."
"Oh……"
Tang En suddenly returned to God: "Black Marsh? What is it?"
Tang En was a little puzzled. Whether it was a pale forest or a black swamp, he had never heard of these place names in the game. At this time, he actually felt that the world was not the game after all. There are many differences.
"It's just a black swamp."
Brian shrugged: "There are n’t even many Warcrafts who dare to approach, and are considered to be the place of death that devours life, but you can rest assured that we have concluded a safe path over the years, so nothing will happen-let me say , Big brother, you are a mage, you can fly over, rest assured. "
So Tang En didn't take it seriously, but when he came next to that black swamp the next day, Tang En finally understood what the so-called black swamp meant.
"This is what you call the Black Marsh?"
Tang En swallowed his mouth, staring blankly at the endless asphalt lake in front of him.
"Yes, big brother, you need to pay attention. This swamp is very wicked. If you fall in it, you won't be able to get out. Even many Warcrafts have died here. Look at those bones. You better fly."
Brian rushed to Nunu's mouth next to him, where he could clearly see a lot of huge blackened bones: "Also, you have to cover your mouth and nose with a wet cloth to pass through, otherwise it will be easy to pass out."
Tang En trembled with excitement, and Brian said he didn't hear a word. There was only one thing in his mind now: this trip made a lot of money!
Asphalt is one of the very important raw materials of the modern industrial system on the earth. It is a hydrophobic material. It is impermeable to water and is almost insoluble in water and various organic solvents. It is mainly used in coatings, plastics, rubber and other industries and paving the road. .
Although Tang En doesn't know how to use bitumen to extract plastic and artificial rubber, this thing can pave the way!
Tang En has long been fed up with the uneven road. If the road is paved with asphalt, even if the carriage has no rubber tires and no shock absorption system, I am afraid it will be much more comfortable.
What's more, the construction of flatter roads means the improvement of the efficiency of the transportation system, and the faster the circulation of products, it also means that you can make money faster!
In the eyes of the Prandall locals, this is a black swamp that does not blink, but in the eyes of Don, this is a huge black gold mine!
Tang En immediately anchored a space coordinate here, and then kept up with the large force.
As Brian said, for thousands of years, the dwarves have concluded a very safe road, which is composed of solidified asphalt. Although the smell is still dangerous, there will be no wet cloth covering the mouth and nose. Too harmful.
All dwarves are walking on a safe road in an orderly manner. Tang En walks and feels the natural asphalt solidified under his feet. He feels very familiar when stepping on it. There is a feeling of asphalt road on earth. Some solids are expected to be stronger.
So Tang En even more determined to develop here.
"Bryan, is this black swamp within the borders of your dwarven kingdom?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Tang En squinted and said, "I'm interested in this black swamp."
"Are you ill, big brother? What can this thing do?"
Brian was very surprised: "We tried it. It can't be used for forging, it can't be used to build a house, it can't be eaten. What can it do?"
"Of course you can't forge ... wait !! Can't eat? What exactly did you do?"
Tang En was dumbfounded.
Brian shrugged. "I didn't know which idiot wanted to try this food. He said that although many things looked scary, they actually tasted delicious. As a result, his tongue almost broke. "
Prandall still has this kind of food! ?
"If, I mean, if I asked the Dwarf King to want this black swamp, how much do you think I need to pay?"
Down looked at Brian's expression. If his previous guess was correct, Brian should be able to help him in the Dwarven Kingdom.
"You want it here?"
Brian scratched his head: "This black swamp is not important ... If you bring him some good wine, he will probably promise you."
"Good wine is all right?"
Tang En froze for a moment, rejoicing in his heart. If good wine can be exchanged for the development right of this asphalt lake, it will make a profit!
"Yes, that guy must be ... oh, I mean the dwarven king, he will probably agree, you can try it, anyway, this swamp is useless."
Brian hehe laughed.
Because the speed of progress on the asphalt lake has been much slower, they only crossed the asphalt lake in the evening. Tang En flew to the sky to observe the area of ​​the asphalt lake.
The result is very amazing. The shape of this asphalt lake is roughly pear-shaped, with a diameter of at least 40 kilometers, the widest place can be more than 20 kilometers, and the narrowest place is nearly 10 kilometers. Square kilometers!
What is one thousand square kilometers?
For example, the well-known super city of New York has a total area of ​​just 800 square kilometers.
And the area of ​​this natural asphalt lake has exceeded the area of ​​New York City!
Tang En also tried to detect the depth with magic. Due to the poor conductivity of asphalt, Tang En gave up only 100 meters deep. Even so, this is also a huge super-asphalt mine with a unit of 100 million tons. Already.
If all the asphalt here is mined, the paved road will be able to connect all the cities in Prandall!
Take it down, be sure to take down this asphalt lake!
At the very least, we have to win the mining rights of the asphalt lake!
Tang En clenched his fist. Although there are many materials other than asphalt that can be used for paving the road, if the production of a large amount of cement takes too much time for Tang En's development, if the asphalt here can be mined for paving the road, it will only consume manpower. Resources, Ellington's productivity can be concentrated elsewhere.
And the benefits brought by paving roads are not only for the convenience of commerce. According to his plan, he planned to make magic-powered cars in the later period. When the war broke out, soldiers could use magic-powered cars to transport them. Asphalt roads were available. Efficiency will inevitably increase a lot, and this powerful mobility and strategic significance cannot be ignored.
Fortunately, the Aboriginal people here have not realized the use of asphalt, maybe he can pick up a leak this time.
Not long after crossing the asphalt lake, the dwarves began to camp and settle down. There are dwarf villages nearby, but at the current scale, there is no way to enter the small village to live, and can only camp around the village.
As the date of the wine festival approaches, the dwarven kingdom, especially these villages near Forge Hammer Fort, is already full of joy, and the people who are attracted by the annual event are very enthusiastic. Provided it.
At this time, Tang En found that in addition to the currency commonly used in the human kingdom, there were even those metal ingots. This enthusiastic forging race had become accustomed to using the metal ingots and other people to trade goods. Already.
After a night's rest in this dwarf village, they joined the team the next day, and the team heading to Forge Hammer Fort was even bigger. Tang En watched the huge team of thousands of dwarves, and it was impossible to imagine the time of Forge Hammer Fort Just how lively it will be.
Can that place hold so many people for events?
Tang En thought for a moment, if the capital of Huaxia holds an event, people from all over the country can come and participate, eat and drink for free, and then ...
Tang En froze. The picture was so beautiful that he couldn't imagine it.
In the evening of the next day, the huge team passed the mountain road for a long time and finally came to Forge Hammer!
Standing outside Forgehammer, Brian smiled proudly: "Big brother, how about it? Have you been shocked?"
Tang En opened his mouth wide and narrowed his eyes. Here, is the forge hammer fortress of the dwarf city?
Here, is that forge hammer in the game?
Are you kidding me? ?
Sure enough, the fairy tales are deceiving!
