Looking at the countless magic ores in the deep pit, Manolin was very tempted, but he didn't want to rob them, but wanted to trade with Bakianus.

Anyway, the large amount of food, clothing, supplies and toys stored in the [Pterosaur] and the secret realm can be traded.

When Manolin proposed this idea, Bakianus agreed very readily.

Although the magic ores in this big pit can be sold at a high price, they must be sold.

After all, the Saint Bakianus Warrior Academy is really a pit, and the caravans that enter the Roman Highlands to purchase magic ores rarely come here.

Even if those caravans come here, they will only buy some magic ores with a higher magic metal content and a higher value. As for the ordinary goods in the big pit, they will not be taken even if they are given away for free.

Because the freight for transporting these ordinary magic ores to places outside the Roman Highlands is almost more expensive than the ores themselves.

Unlike Manolin, those caravans do not have the [Pterosaur] that can cross almost any terrain. It is very difficult for caravans to enter and exit the Roman Highlands.

Since there is no road to enter the Roman Highlands, these people can only rely on human and animal power to transport goods in and out of the Roman Highlands.

In addition, there are robbers and thieves, dangerous mountain roads, and various extraordinary creatures along the way, which makes it costly for caravans to enter and exit the Roman Highlands every time.

These caravans have come to the Roman Highlands at such a high cost and risk, so it is impossible to make a loss-making business, so it is reasonable for them to only pick those magic ores with higher value.

However, this was nothing to Manolin. He had two floating fortresses and a secret realm, so there was almost no transportation cost. So it didn't matter what kind of magic ore it was. He could even buy ordinary metal ore. He could take any amount of ore. The more the better.

For Bakianus, the magic ores in the pit were completely useless waste.

Now that they could recycle the waste and exchange it for some useful materials, he had no reason to refuse.

With both parties willing, the deal was quickly reached.

In the end, Manolin exchanged all the magic metals in the pit for a bunch of various materials and several sets of machines that Saint Bakianus Warrior Academy could use.

After the transaction was completed, both parties were very happy. After all, from their own perspectives, they both made a profit.

...

One month later, in the backyard of Saint Bakianus Warrior Academy.

A month ago, there was a piece of grass with nothing here. A month later, some color steel factories were built here.

At this time, the rumbling sound of machinery was coming from these colored steel factories.

And bursts of black smoke were coming out of the towering chimneys.

Manolin was standing in the factory listening to the workers' reports.

"Mr. Manolin, this whole set of metal refining production lines can operate normally."

"The only shortcoming is that these local highland barbarians are really clumsy and it is difficult to bring out the efficiency of this whole set of machines."

After listening to the workers' reports, Manolin nodded and expressed satisfaction.

Anyway, the content of his deal with Bajianus is a set of metal refining production lines that can operate normally.

He has already completed this point, and as for the workers' problem, it is up to Bajianus to worry about it.

After confirming that the machines can operate normally, Manolin is ready to find Bajianus to "receive the goods".

Originally, his plan was that the [Pterosaur] would only stay at the Saint Bajianus Warrior Academy for about a week, but plans did not change quickly.

Due to the ore transaction, the [Pterosaur] had to stay here for a month.

However, in Manolin's opinion, staying in this school for a month is still worthwhile.

Not to mention that after this transaction, he doesn't have to go to other highland barbarian tribes to purchase magic ore, which can save a lot of trouble and time.

Just talking about the knowledge he and his [Warrior] extraordinary people have learned in this month, it is also very worthwhile.

Then Manolin led a group of school leaders from Saint Bakinus Warrior Academy to the color steel factory to "inspect the goods".

Under Manolin's command, the workers began a whole set of operations from crushing ore; to screening; and finally refining.

Bakinus is very satisfied with this whole set of machines. In fact, he wanted to have a set of ore refining equipment a long time ago, but due to various reasons, this idea has not been realized..

In fact, it is not just Bacchinus. Many businessmen have also thought about opening factories in the Roman Plateau, the raw material production area, to directly refine magic ore.

But the results are all dismal without exception.

The first problem these people have to face is that magic ore is different from ordinary metal ore. It can be refined by just setting up some equipment and setting up a small workshop.

If you want to industrially refine the magic metal in the magic ore, it requires a very complex and large series of machines.

These machines themselves are expensive, and the cost of moving these machines to the Roman Plateau is even higher.

The high initial investment immediately excludes those businessmen with less financial resources, and those who are able to provide so much money, few dare to invest such a large sum of money here.

As for those who are rich and bold or are dazzled by the high profits, there are also some guys.

But these people still have a lot of difficulties if they want to really run the factory in the Roman Plateau.

First of all, there is the problem of workers. The Highland Barbarians, who are almost all illiterate, very strong, and do not obey management, are not a good source of manpower.

Only five factories were built in Roman Highlands by chance, and two of them stopped production due to conflicts between Highland Barbarian workers and factory owners.

These factory owners use the methods of managing workers in other places to manage these Highland Barbarian workers.

But the Highland Barbarians will not indulge these factory owners' bad habits.

What? You make us work 16 hours a day?

What? When workers are injured, not only does the factory not compensate, but also asks the workers for the factory's losses?

What? You dare to deduct our wages?

Of course, the Highland Barbarians used their fists to teach these guys a lesson.

In addition to the problem of workers, the more serious problem of building factories in Roman Highlands is that there are too many extraordinary creatures in this place.

Without the protection of enough extraordinary people, the factory can't operate normally.

And hiring a large number of extraordinary people, the cost is sky-high.

So among the five factories, the remaining three factories also closed down.
