When hard water alumina reaches the gem level, it will reflect brilliant light due to its extremely high fire color. It also has strong multicolor properties. Unlike other color-changing gems, it can reflect multiple colors at the same time. The most obvious thing is the hybridization of red and green. No wonder it is called the name of five colors by the locals.
Before he heard Barov's introduction, Roland immediately thought of this kind of stone when he saw it with his own eyes.
In addition, when the hard water aluminum stone loses water, it will turn into corundum... and the gem level of corundum is the famous ruby and sapphire.Compared with the former, the latter has a more prominent reputation.
But it was not the gem itself that excited him.
What about the residue dug out of the mine?It took a long time before the prince closed the wooden box and asked excitedly.
Are you talking about…the gravel dug out when opening the mineway?
That’s right, it’s not just stones, but mud is also considered. How do you deal with these waste materials?
After being shipped out, they were piled up at the foot of the mountain. Denver doesn't seem to understand the meaning of the prince's inquiry. Your Highness, please rest assured that we have carefully screened these ores, either because they are of poor quality or they are broken during the mining process and cannot be polished into gems.The screening process is the responsibility of the veterans with the richest experience in the family, and there is no possibility of omission.
You were wrong, Roland smiled and shook his head. Those things... are probably the real treasure.
What?Denver was stunned, and the other people looked quite surprised, as if they could not connect the mud and the treasure together.
But he just couldn't explain this because even steelmaking is difficult in this era, let alone refining single aluminum.
The main component of hard water aluminite is alumina. At the same time, it is discovered as a companion product of bauxite. The high probability means that the aluminum element is enriched here, and both soil and rock can be used as raw materials for aluminum smelting.
As the most abundant metal element in the earth, aluminum reserves are higher than iron and are almost everywhere.
In other words, if you dig a stone from the ground, Lucia can decompose trace amounts of aluminum, but it is not cost-effective to use it for industrial refining, so only places where aluminum is rich have the value of mining.
For example, this cave in front of you.
Roland called Perro aside alone and asked in a low voice, how did the Ke Lian family manage the gem mines in the past two hundred years?I mean...how do previous leaders pay them?
I found out from the account book left by Osmond Lein that the way to pay the reward is very simple, that is, the Ke Lian family can select a box of secondary gems from the gems collected every year as a reward, which is basically the same as weighing wheat.Peilu explained that the square box is about the length and width of one palm, and the depth is half a palm. As long as the lid can be covered, it can be put in as many as possible.Of course, the most rare gems must be handed over to the lord.
In other words, the two family collections he just gave me were not the best?
It is indeed the best in terms of texture alone. He dare not lie to you at this point, but you also know that the bigger the gems, the more expensive it is.
You have received his gifts, too, right?Roland looked at the eldest son of honeysuckle with interest.
Uh... The latter responded awkwardly, yes, Your Highness, I will hand over the gem to you after I go back.
Keep it, I don’t care about this, the prince said, I’m just curious, who will guarantee that the reward is true?What should I do if a family secretly gets more during the mining process?Apart from pushing the mansion into the sky, this kind of thing would not be found out at all, right?
There will be someone to supervise every batch of ore transport out of the cave entrance and screening. Moreover, even if the Ke Lian family steals it, it will not do it too clearly. This is a mutual check and balance relationship. They are afraid of being discovered by the lord and being severely punished, and the lord cannot find so many people who know the mine well. Pei Luo paused. Besides, even if they change to their own people, who can guarantee that they won’t steal it?
So that's it, Roland nodded, then continue to do it according to this rule.However, in addition to the colorful stones, I also want the dug out gravel and mud. After I go back, I will formulate a preliminary collection plan for you and implement it according to the above requirements.
Your Highness, these muds... are really more precious than gems?
It depends on whoever is in his hands.The prince replied.
What is aluminum?
Its uses are countless. The low density and corrosion resistance alone support half of the sky in industrial production and is an indispensable key material for aviation technology.
It is true that aluminum smelting is a troublesome job, and the amount of electricity consumed by electrolytic equipment is also an astronomical figure for Wu Winter City, but with Lucia, a batch can always be accumulated.
By then, some weapons and equipment that are no less than miracles in this era will also have hope for, such as large airships.
Roland originally planned to focus on the development of two iron ores, but it seems that the plan will be slightly adjusted now.
……
After inspecting the remaining two minerals and a salt well, I returned to the castle and it was completely dark.
After dinner, Roland couldn't wait to pull out paper and pen and start planning the use of new resources.
First is the steam engine.
Whether it is drainage in the mining area, hauling or brine extraction from salt wells, the steam engine can double its efficiency.
The Maple Leaf and Wild Rose family have now been destroyed. He plans to draw a group of experienced employees from the Beipo Mine and then recruit a large number of hired workers in Changge District to allow the two new iron ores to operate first, so that the ore can be transported back to the border area for smelting.
The gem mine needs to wait for Lucia to rush to Changge to test the aluminum content in various tunnels before the next mining direction is arranged.
Another focus is salt wells.
It is close to Roland's expected situation. In addition to using a steam engine to pump water to increase the output, the rest of the lack of work is to remove miscellaneous materials.
Considering the complex geological composition, he decided to take a tube of brine from each well and take it back to the border area, and hand it over to the chief alchemist Kemostrier to study the specific removal steps, and then figure out the process and set up a factory on site to produce salt on a large scale.
Of course, salt industry, like grain, should also be sold exclusively by the city hall.
The salt wells of the Elk and Honeysuckle family can obtain technical support provided by Wushen City, but the refined salt produced must be sold to the city hall at a specified market price and must not be sold to other places without permission to obtain profits.
If you can obtain a large amount of refined salt at a low price, it will undoubtedly open up a new trade path for Wudongcheng.
Roland hopes that all this will become formal after the collapse of the Tiffeko regime.
Before he heard Barov's introduction, Roland immediately thought of this kind of stone when he saw it with his own eyes.
