defend the truth

With Cai Ruoxian supervising the workers at the iron mine, Li Wei was really relieved.Only then was he able to go to the cave on Qingji Peak, meditate and recuperate, and recover his spiritual power.

The work of digging mine tunnels during the day seems easy, but after all, it is not often done, and it takes a lot of effort to get things done properly.Compared with fighting against powerful enemies, the former is actually more tiring.

Because he planned to develop in Dayanling for a long time, Li Weizhen also named the cave where he often came to meditate, called "Pishui Cave".

The name of this cave has not been bothered, and it can even be said to have been picked at random.

Because the natural feng shui pattern in the cave is "sharp swords open water, gold and white water clear", so it is appropriate to take the word "pishui" in it.

It's not like I didn't think about it, and if I was lazy, I just used the word "sword".But after Li Weizhen read it twice, he felt that it was not pleasant, so he changed it again.

But in fact, the first thing that comes to mind, which is also Li Weizhen's favorite, should be "Chingtan Cave".

There is indeed frost and snow in the cave, which condenses into a mouth of Qingtan, and the name is not a nonsense.

But the reason why he didn't name it this way is that the image of Zhao Hongxue inexplicably appeared in Li Weizhen's mind at that time.

Thinking back to the old Zhao Hongxue, if he heard the name of this cave, he would definitely laugh at him as a bumpkin, fake Fengya and so on.

As for the name of "water opening", at least it can be used as a cover for metaphysics classics, which can somewhat support the appearance.

Closer to home, from the beginning of the third watch to the end of the fifth watch, Li Weizhen, who had been meditating for nearly three hours, just walked out of the Pishui Cave.

After Qingming, the days in the south have come to this time, and the sky has begun to get brighter.There will be half a stick of incense time, and the sky will definitely turn white.

Because it was close to dawn, when Li Weizhen arrived at the iron mine with his sword light, Cai Ruoxian had already led the group of Yin soldiers to retreat.

Cai Ruoxian has practiced steadily now, and the strong yin energy on his body makes him not afraid of being burned by the yang energy in the daytime.

It's just that the yin soldiers who have been subdued for a while are very weak, even if they are active in the dark mine tunnel, they will be weakened by the yang energy blown into the mine tunnel with the wind, so they have to stop working at dawn.

Today, [-] catties of ore have been piled up in the stockyard by visual inspection. In layman's terms, there are [-] loads of stones.Li Weizhen is quite satisfied with this mining efficiency.

It's just that these raw iron ores have to be crushed and screened to remove the associated ores and sediment, and finally one-third of the real iron ore that can be used for smelting is very good.

Therefore, if eight hundred-foot iron cables were to be refined according to the plan, it would take seven or eight days of excavation.

Although with the current amount of piled ore, Li Weizhen can already mobilize the existing manpower to assist him in starting the furnace to make iron.But he didn't intend to rush at this moment, because according to the plan he and Luo Yicheng had made earlier, his job at this moment should be to dig a hole.

It is indeed necessary to dig a hole, and it is necessary to dig several large holes in a row.

Laymen don't understand that when sifting and washing ore, the amount of water that needs to be consumed will be three to five times the weight of the ore itself.If there is no reasonable arrangement, it will be a great consumption of water in the long run.

And the handling of metal ores must be particularly cautious.Because if the ore is washed directly in the river, the sewage produced will affect the downstream creatures.

Therefore, the first thing to be built is the ore washing pool. Such a pool must at least hold more than one million catties of water.And this kind of pool will not be built separately, usually three large pools are built in a ladder shape.

The uppermost pool can discharge sewage to the second pool for slag precipitation after washing a large amount of ore; but the second pool can only preliminarily settle the sand and gravel, and the sewage will go to the third pool to be discharged along the way. Follow the sewage channel until it is discharged into the tailings pond.

Although the tailings pond is strictly speaking a large pond, it is not a large pit dug by hand, but a dam built around the valley.To put it more simply, it is to block the mouth of a deep valley to pile up a large amount of sewage and silt.

However, the tailings pond does not simply block the water. It has drainage and clarification capabilities. It can turn more than half of the sewage into clear water, collect it into the return pool, and use it again to clean the ore.

In general, it is to reduce the consumption of water sources and to concentrate waste.

Even if considering the amount of work, the tailings pond cannot be built for the time being, the three large pools must at least be dug first.

Of course, the structure of the tailings pond is much more complicated than simply digging a pit and laying bricks, and it is impossible for Li Weizhen to build it by himself.It still has to be handed over to a master builder like Luo Yicheng, after all, his family is in the mining business.

What's more, Taiyimen's own mine must have been planned by the disciples of Tiangongyuan.Even if Luo Yicheng has not personally participated in such a project, as long as he has learned the principles of construction, drawing drawings should not be difficult for him.

In addition, in today's simple Qi Luna, a "quenching pool" has to be built, which is small and medium-sized, and it is almost enough to accommodate a hundred tons of water.

The iron chain refined this time is a big guy, and it is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket to store water in containers such as tanks and sinks for quenching.To manufacture a large-scale magic weapon, one must have a corresponding guy. If there is enough investment in the early stage, the subsequent work will go smoothly, and there is no need to be lazy.

These facilities are going to be built sooner or later, but now they happen to catch up, so they simply push the boat along and get things done as soon as possible.

Because the mineral resources in the Dayanling area are really rich, we will wait for the resident manpower and the scale of construction to increase in the future.

Whether Li Wei really intends to train a group of craftsmen by himself, or sell minerals directly, it is a long-term source of income.For the corresponding part, it is natural to pay extra attention.

After inspecting the mining progress of the iron mine, Li Weizhen went to Yellow Sandalwood Mountain instead.Sure enough, the busy figure at the foot of the mountain could already be seen from a distance.

"Senior Brother Luo, it's so early?" Li Weizhen quickly lowered his sword light, and greeted the tall figure.

At this time, Luo Yicheng, who was completely immersed in his work, just realized that someone had arrived, turned his head suddenly and couldn't hide the astonishment on his face, and soon smiled awkwardly: "Ha, you are early too!"

Li Weizhen first looked at the pile of cut blanks not far away, and looked back at Luo Yicheng with a bit of worry in his eyes, "Could it be that you haven't rested all day, all night? No way! As long as you want to do the work, you will never finish it. Even if you don’t need to close your eyes, you still have to relax and rest your hands and feet, right?”

Luo Yicheng replied with a sincere look: "It's time to rest! I've been resting for two hours. Didn't this just happen to start again, and you just happened to come here!"

Regarding this, Li Weizhen said suspiciously: "Are you sure, you have really rested for two hours? Do you dare to swear to the Patriarch?"

Luo Yicheng's face immediately changed, and he couldn't help hesitating, "What's there to lie to you, swearing or something...just...hehe, don't you need it?"

"Okay, okay, let me confess! After taking some spirit gathering pills and adjusting my breath for an hour, I have almost recovered and I don't feel tired. You know me well. To me, working is also a kind of practice. , penance can exercise the will more!"

Li Weizhen sighed, and said helplessly: "I know you too well, so I feel that I owe you too much. It's not right to have a young master at home. He hangs out with us and endures hardships. He is more diligent than the big guys. You let other brothers, including Me, what are you doing?"

The reason why Luo Yicheng showed embarrassment just now was that he expected Li Weizhen to say these words, and now that embarrassment has become even more serious.He hesitated to speak, smiled and still didn't say something.

Li Weizhen stretched out his hand to grab Luo Yicheng's shoulder, pushed him halfway towards the station, and said earnestly: "According to me, the most important thing you should do now is to go back to the bamboo building with me. Let's make a pot Tea, watching the sunrise while playing chess. It’s not too late to get back to work after breakfast."

"Anyway, this is not something that can be done in a day or two. You push yourself so hard, what if you are affected by your obsession and go crazy?"

Luo Yicheng still looked reluctant, he said worriedly: "I'm not in a hurry, I just don't know when that white dragon will..."

This time, Li Weizhen simply walked behind Luo Yicheng, pushed his shoulders with both hands, and persuaded him: "I can't care about this much anymore. When manpower is exhausted, let nature take its course!"

"Okay! I really can't do anything about you!"

"Hey, each other, each other!"

When the two went back to the bamboo building with their swords together, the sky finally glowed with sunshine, and the sunrise was not far away.

At this time, there happened to be a flock of wild geese flying from the valley in front of them, not far away.Under tacit agreement, both of them temporarily stopped Feijian in the air.

Slowly, the wild geese flew higher and higher, farther and farther towards the north, shrinking from a line to a point, and when the sun came out, it had completely disappeared in the northern sky.

In recent days, this has become the norm in the mountains, and more and more geese have begun to migrate north.Return to their original home and reproduce.

It wasn't until the late autumn of this year that they brought the new life in the group to live here for several months.

Of course, this also means that the ice and snow in the north have begun to melt.

Is this a good thing for today's world?

Has the sword-browed and phoenix-eyed girl Yan also finished her long journey and returned to her hometown?

Li Weizhen only hoped that in the late autumn of this year, he could see more wild geese flying back here.

May the world be peaceful, I am afraid it is just a wish in my heart.

But no matter how chaotic the world is, as long as there is no dispute here, it will be enough!
