Report: This magician says he believes in science

"City Master Ouyang, last time I heard you say that there is an iron mine next to Hongshan City more than 200 kilometers away?" Chu Feng said.

Ouyang Ming hadn't come out of the shock at this time, he came back to his senses when he heard Chu Feng's question, nodded quickly and said: "Yes, all the iron ore in my Tang country is mined from there."

"Okay, you arrange people to go to Hongshan City immediately, I need iron ore." Chu Feng said immediately.

Ouyang Ming was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he wondered, "Iron ore is needed to repair the city? Master Chu is going to use iron to cast the city, it's impossible, that kind of consumption is too terrifying."

"What?" Seeing that Ouyang Ming was silent, Chu Feng asked immediately.

Ouyang Ming quickly replied: "Yes, we have been purchasing the iron ore in Hongshan City for a long time in Tianyang City. Although the arrows consumed a lot in this battle, we have also recovered a lot. At present, the stock iron ore in Tianyang City Should be enough."

"But...if it's used to repair the city, I'm afraid it's not enough."

"And... Hongshan City is more than 200 kilometers away from us. It will take two or three days to go back and forth, and there is not enough time." Ouyang Ming stopped talking here.

What he meant was very clear—I'm afraid it won't work like this.

"Okay, I have my own way. You can send someone to Hongshan City to purchase iron ore immediately, or you can send a copy of Hummingbird and let the people over there send it directly, which can save half the time. For the quantity, first Send one hundred thousand catties." Chu Feng said.

One hundred thousand catties, or fifty tons, sounds like a lot, but in fact it's just iron ore, not steel, so it's actually not that much.

And even if it is steel, fifty tons is not much.

"One hundred thousand catties?" But Ouyang Ming was dumbfounded. He had no concept of one hundred thousand catties, and immediately exclaimed in his heart: "Is it true that the city is really going to be made of iron?"

However, he immediately realized a detail, and was even more shocked in his heart, secretly said: "No, Master Chu asked to give one hundred thousand catties first, isn't one hundred thousand catties not enough?"

Thinking of this, Ouyang Ming felt that his mind had been completely stunned by Chu Feng's words, and he almost lost his ability to think.

"By the way, there are also Baishi, and they will also be shipped in large quantities for me." Chu Feng said again.

White stone is what the world calls limestone. It is calcined by fire and then crushed into powder. After stirring with water, it becomes lime.

The outer wall of the Shenting is painted with lime, which is very white.

"Okay, okay." Ouyang Ming had almost lost his ability to think at this time, and nodded immediately.

But he came back to his senses immediately, and quickly said: "Baishi is not complicated. There is a Baishi mountain range in Baishi City, more than 100 kilometers outside Tianyang City. But how many do you need?"

"How much?" Chu Feng thought for a while, but was not sure yet.

"The restoration of Chucheng's steel bars only builds the frame, and the cement is the real filler, so the amount should be very large." Chu Feng made a little calculation in his heart, and then said: "First, transport a thousand tons, no, it is... 200 million catties, send 200 million catties here first."

People in this world do not have the measurement word "ton", and Chu Feng almost made a mistake, he hesitated for a while before converting it into the measurement unit of catty.

"What?" Ouyang Ming and Bing Tie fell into a daze again.

200 million catties, what is the concept?
It is hard to say whether there are 200 million catties of white stones in the entire Tang Kingdom.

Moreover, if 200 million catties of Baishi were to be transported from Baishi City, it would have to be transported to the Year of the Monkey?

Seeing the two of them in a daze, Chu Feng asked in confusion, "What?"

Ouyang Ming quickly said with a wry smile: "One hundred thousand catties of iron ore, we asked Hongshan City to arrange three to five thousand city guards, each carrying dozens of catties on their backs, and it was delivered in one day."

"However, for the 200 million catties of white stone, tens of thousands of people are needed to transport it alone, and it cannot be transported in a short period of time."

"Besides, Baishi City probably doesn't have a stock of 200 million catties of whitestone. Even if we start mining now, I'm afraid there won't be so many in a short time."

Both Ouyang Ming and Bing Tie looked at Chu Feng helplessly, with expressions of "can you be more realistic".

At this time, Chu Feng also smiled wryly, and couldn't help but secretly said: "That's right, it seems that I think it's easy, just like playing games in the previous life, if you want to mine ore, you must first build a mine cart instead of sending it directly Farmers go to mine."

"It seems that in order to build a giant city, we must first solve the transportation problem, and at the same time improve the efficiency of ore mining." Chu Feng secretly thought, and even had an urge to build a railway in his heart.

However, Chu Feng also knew in his heart that building a railway is not that simple. It also requires an extremely strong industrial foundation, just like mass production of steel bars.

It's not something you can achieve with craftsmanship.

Seeing that Chu Feng didn't speak, Ouyang Ming thought that Chu Feng was dissatisfied with him, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Master Chu, don't worry, even if I mobilize the whole city, I will transport 200 million catties of white stones."

"How much iron is there in the city?" Chu Feng asked instead of answering Ouyang Ming's words.

"Except for the consumption of making weapons and making arrows, there is still about [-] catties of iron in the city." Ouyang Ming said immediately.

Ten thousand catties, or about five tons.

"Okay, you send people to guard Chu City, and I'll go back to Tianyang City." Chu Feng said immediately.

Chu Feng is very clear about the principle that if a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools, so he plans to go back to Tianyang City to make some simple transportation tools to improve the efficiency of transporting materials from Hongshan City and Baishi City.

If not, it really depends on the people to use human power to carry it, then it will have to wait until the year of the monkey.

Carried by the eight-star powerhouse Bing Tie, it took Chu Feng only about an hour to return to Tianyang City, and then Chu Feng was just about to use the system space to take the steel away when he was suddenly taken aback and slapped his head violently .

"Stupid, don't I have system space!" Chu Feng thought to himself.

System Space Today, the area of ​​fertile land is ten square meters. Even if the height is only four or five meters, the volume has reached fifty cubic meters. Excluding the space for stacking grain, the remaining space is more than 30 cubic meters.

If it is used to load iron ore or limestone, it can load hundreds of tons at a time.

"I can use the system space to go to Hongshan City and Baishi City to operate materials." Chu Feng smiled wryly, feeling a little silly.

"However, this matter must be kept secret, and the fact that I own the system space cannot be exposed." Chu Feng said again in his heart.

Thinking of this, Chu Feng immediately laughed again, isn't there such a thing as the Elder God.

After this period of life, Chu Feng became more courageous, and he was no longer timid and cautious like when he was just reborn.

Chu Feng knew that for unexplainable means, all he could do was push them to the god. Anyway, people in this world would not dare to confront the god.

"Bin Tie, take me to Hongshan City." Chu Feng said immediately.

Bing Tie was taken aback.

Good guy, I just used the eight-star powerhouse as a means of transportation.

But I still can't refuse.

Bing Tie was very speechless.

A moment later, two black shadows set off directly from Tianyang City, plunged into the vast wasteland, and took advantage of the clear night to head straight for Hongshan City.

About an hour later, Chu Feng arrived outside Hongshan City.

He didn't enter the city, but ran towards the iron mine next to Hongshan City.

A few minutes later, Chu Feng arrived at the foot of the iron mine.

"Hey, the exposed iron ore is a rich mine." Chu Feng looked at the solid red-brown mountain in front of him, and his eyes lit up immediately.

This saves him a lot of things.

"Try it." I saw Chu Feng trying to press his hand on the red and black mountain, and with a thought, the reddish brown mountain in front of him lost a large piece, about thirty or forty square.

Thirty to forty square meters, that's hundreds of tons of iron ore, far exceeding Chu Feng's expectation just now!

Beside, Bing Tie's eyes straightened when he saw this scene.
