The water in this ditch is not clean because there is coal here. The water flows from the cracks in the rocks not far away, which means there is definitely a large coal mine in this place.
Coal is still mined and used even in the modern world. It is perfect to have a fire to keep warm in cold weather.
Although there is a bit of soot, it does not prevent every household from needing it and every household can use it. Especially in this civilized and backward place. Coal has strong firepower and can withstand burning. It can do a lot more than just keep warm.
Even small coal mines can be mined for more than ten years, medium-sized coal mines can be mined for decades, and large coal mines can be mined for hundreds of years.
She looked at the surrounding terrain and the mountains, rocks and forests. Not only the water, she found that there were several other places where a little bit of black could be seen under the bottom of the rocks.
Thinking of this, she walked to the bottom of a rock. Putting aside a bit of soil at the bottom of the rock, she tried to pick it up with her fingers and saw that there was a little black on her fingers.
But the top is still stone, and the coal should be at the bottom.
Illegal mining is in jail, but this is the night world, and the entire northern part of the Eastern Region is the territory of the wolf orcs. As a high priest, it is reasonable and legal for her to lead the wolf orcs to mine. (The author’s warm reminder is that illegal mining is prohibited, and if you encounter a mine, you must report it to the state.)
She stood up and raised her hand to signal the system.
[Xiaohua checks to see how big this coal mine is. 】
00985 Emperor's Childbirth System: [The system is starting to scan and detect. The host is in the process of detecting. Please wait...]
[It has been detected that there is rare mineral resource coal here. The entire mountain is 400 meters deep underground and is full of coal. Host, you have discovered a large mine. With the current backward mining level, mining this coal mine for two hundred years is not a problem. Of course, I am talking about mining with the powerful power of the orcs. If ordinary people are allowed to mine the coal mines here, With today's backward technology, it cannot be mined completely in three hundred years. 】
Jiang Xianyun took a breath of cold air.
Hey, her trip was worth it, she actually discovered a large coal mine. Even with all the advanced technologies available in modern times, it would still take 70 to 80 years to mine.
She raised her eyes and scanned the area she could see.
Please call her Boss Coal from now on.
Perhaps because she was smiling strangely, Jiang Erxile Chas walked up to her.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this place?"
Jiang Xianyun smiled and looked at her father pointing at this place. "Father, this is a gift from nature. We can become porters in the future."
Jiang Erxile Chas was confused. "What porter?"
The other orcs also came over, looking curious, and one of the orcs spoke. "Master Priest, we walked around and found nothing, but you discovered something."
She glanced at her father, and then at the male orcs holding frames in their hands.
She calmed down her emotions for a moment, then looked at everyone and said, "Father, it was worth going out today. Although we did not find hematite this time, we did find another precious resource, coal."
"What is coal?" Her uncle Jiang Erxile Chaye stepped forward and scratched his head and asked curiously. Not only him, but the orcs present didn't know what she was talking about. Jiang Xianyun said: "This coal can be used to make fires. It can also be used to make iron and forge weapons. It is very useful. For example, in the cold season, when the weather is cold, coal can be burned in the room for heating." She gestured to a piece of coal the size of a stone, and then spoke. "Such a piece of coal can be burned for a day if it is broken into small pieces, but a large amount of firewood cannot withstand the burning. The orcs in the village need to go to the mountains to chop firewood every now and then. Especially in the cold season when the weather is cold. If the firewood is not exposed to the sun, It’s very smoky and not suitable for heating at home.”
Coal can be burned in the room for heating. After burning the coal, there will be no smoke like firewood. There will only be a little smoke when it is first lit, but it will be fine if you open the window. In short, this coal is something that every household in the orc world needs now. With it, even if the weather is cold, you don't have to worry about the cubs at home freezing to death. "
As the leader of the clan, Jiangerxile Chas also understood. This coal can be used instead of firewood and is more useful than firewood. In the cold season, you can also burn it in the room for heating. Not only that, but it won't be as thick and smokey as firewood. This is indeed a good thing and what they need.
"Where's the Coal?"
Jiang Xianyun pointed to the place in front of him. "Everywhere you can see with your eyes." She pointed to the small ditch where the water was still flowing. "The reason why this water is a little black is because there is coal in it, because coal is black. Put the rocks in these places Dig it up, there’s coal underneath.”
"The fact that coal appears in my father's place means that it's not just a little bit, but the entire bottom is filled with coal. I looked at the terrain here. My father's coal mine should be very big. I estimate that it would take two hundred years to dig the entire mountain. ”
Jiang Erxile Chas felt that he had seen big scenes, but at this moment he couldn't help but pat his chest.
From what she said, you can tell that coal plays a very important role and is a very precious resource. It would be unimaginable if all the coal buried underneath was the kind of coal Zai'er mentioned.
"Come here, dig this place out with me and take a look."
Jiang Erxile Chas was a man who didn't do anything. With a wave of his hand, he directly led the orcs to find a place and started digging.
Male orcs are so strong that they can easily pick up rocks weighing hundreds of kilograms and throw them aside. Therefore, even without advanced tools at hand, a hole can be dug out quickly.
Just like his father, he could break hundreds of kilograms of stone with just a few fists. A fist as big as a sandbag can't compare.
Is that a fist?
No, that's a hammer.
Although the orcs in this world cannot practice, there is no such thing as martial arts secrets, inner strength and mental methods. But their strong physique is innate. Although some females are also physically very strong, they are incomparable to the strength of male orcs.
His father was really strong and handsome, and even in modern times, he could rely on his face to make a living.
Perhaps sensing her gaze, he turned his head and looked over. Then he smiled and said, "Zai'er, please sit down for a while and don't run around. This mountain is very dangerous."
"understood."
It's almost noon.
Jiang Xianyun's father and a dozen other orcs who came with him dug a large pit in the rocks at the outlet of the coal mine. At this time, the dug pit was already dark, but the coal was not converted into enough coal. It was still made of stones and could not be used for fire. Good coal is still deep underground.
