Things from Another World - Chapter 1024

[1024. Chapter 1022 A solution that achieves multiple goals with one stone]

“Big brother, eh, big brother, can you please stop looking at me like this? I feel cold all over…”

Brian looked at Tang En with a horrified look on his face. Every time Tang En showed this expression, He felt like an animal waiting to be slaughtered.

Especially now that he was hanging upside down from the ceiling…

Twain suddenly laughed: “I have to thank you. Let me let you down.”

“What?”

Brian felt a chill running down his back, except for one on his forehead. In a cold sweat, he said hurriedly: “Brother, please don’t do this. I feel very scary.” “

Well, it seems you still want to stay, so hang up for a while.”

Tang En withdrew his hand and rubbed his chin. Said: “The problem now is that the mine’s production capacity cannot keep up with the production demand…”

Brian wanted to cry at this moment, and echoed Tang En: “Yes, and we don’t have any extra manpower to send for mining.”

“Manpower. …”

Tang En smiled: “It’s actually easy to find enough manpower. We’ll talk about that later. Now let’s talk about what we have to do here.” “

You tell me, and I listen.”

“Tell Edgar. Tell him to communicate with the factory, squeeze out some manpower, and seize the time to produce magic drilling rigs and mining sets. We must complete the technical upgrade and transformation of all existing mines as soon as possible.”

Tang En’s plan is very simple. First of all, from the technical aspect Let’s start. There are not many mines that have completed technological upgrades. After the Maneng Machinery Factory squeezes out some time to produce mining sets, that is, maneng drills, mine cars, tracks, cranes and the like, we can upgrade the existing ones. Other mines have undergone technological upgrades.

After the technology upgrade, the production capacity can be increased at least fifteen times with the existing manpower, which will definitely be enough in a short time.

As for the transportation issue, regardless of cost, Tang En can lay a small teleportation array for each mine, as long as it can supply Ellington transportation personnel to enter and exit. By allocating space equipment, they can complete the ore in a short time transportation.

Since the core of all development revolved around Ellington, he did not even consider the issue of transporting and selling the ore to other countries.

After all, if you want to sell it to the outside world, you will need to further improve the existing cargo transportation system, and perhaps also need to lay a dedicated freight railway line. The time and cost are too high.

Although the railway is the economic bloodline of the power hub and has an amazing transport capacity, Purandal is a vast area with a sparse population and the cost of laying a railway is too high. The rigid demand for both passenger and freight transportation is not strong, so Tang En is not considering laying a railway for the time being.

Besides, there is no extra steel to make rails now…perhaps he will consider it again if necessary in the future.

“There are three plans to increase raw ore production capacity. One is to upgrade the technology of existing mines, and the other is to increase the basic number of miners.”

Brian looked confused: “Didn’t we agree that the population is too small and the labor force is insufficient? Why? Can we increase the number of miners?”

“The population is too small, but the labor force does not necessarily have to be humans, right?”

Tang En showed a devilish smile: “I remember, when we were in Slag Village , the old friend of the dwarf left a very deep impression on me.”

“The old friend of the dwarf?”

Brian was stunned for a moment, then blurted out: “Kobold!?”

“Congratulations on the correct answer.”

Tang En said Snapped his fingers: “I remember the village chief of Durum said that kobolds have an amazing reproductive capacity and have a very strong need for food, so they frequently attack dwarf villages, right?” “That’s

right…”

“And Kobolds are natural miners, their ability to mine is as good as that of dwarves, and their ability to dig holes is even better than yours, right?”

Although Brian was a little unhappy with Tang En comparing dwarves and kobolds together. , but still said honestly: “That’s true.”

“Isn’t this the end of it? The reproductive capacity is amazing, the numbers are huge, and they are born miners. This is a labor force tailor-made for us!”

“But,” Brian I couldn’t help but remind Tang En, “Brother, you have overlooked one point. Kobolds are despicable by nature and have low intelligence. They hate almost all humanoid creatures, especially dwarves and gnomes, and will attack any intelligent creature that enters their territory.” , they literally eat everything, including captives. Most creatures don’t trust them. How do you make them work for you honestly?” “

This is simple.”

Tang En smiled: “You can’t use the intelligence of intelligent creatures .

If you want to communicate with them, then use the method of taming beasts to communicate with them.”

“Tame beasts?”

Brian was dumbfounded.

“Well,” Tang En thought for a moment. Kobolds are somewhat smart, so he added, “I think it might be easier than taming wild beasts?”

Although the dwarves also have hunters who are good at taming wild beasts, Brian I can’t figure out what Tang En is going to do.

“You don’t need to worry about the specific things. You go back to Forge Hammer Castle first and collect information about the area where the kobolds gather. I will go find you later.”

Tang En snapped his fingers, and Brian fell down with an “ouch” He fell down and climbed up from the ground shivering, his legs trembling.

Tang En glanced at him lightly: “What are you telling the truth about you talking about you all day long…ah, I mean, don’t spread rumors all day long.”

Brian felt that he was wronged: “I didn’t spread rumors. …”

Tang En said sinisterly: “Next time if you can’t control your big mouth when you drink, I will prevent you from drinking a drop of wine for the rest of your life!”

Never drink a drop of wine in your life!

?

This is great!

?

Brian’s face changed and he said very seriously: “I swear! I will never tell the truth that I know!”

“Huh? The truth?”

Brian immediately changed his words: “I mean, the things that I know. “

Go, go, go!”

Tang En didn’t believe that this guy would get rid of that bad habit so quickly. From what he knew so far, the dwarf’s two bad habits, talkativeness and alcoholism, would probably never get rid of him.

He didn’t expect Brian to completely change his ways, but he only hoped that he could restrain himself a little in the future. This guy was really good at causing trouble.

After Brian left, Tang En thought for a moment and teleported directly to the Red Stone Cave.

“Yo? My friend! Why do you think of coming to my place to be a guest?”

Before Barrod could finish his words, Tang En grabbed him and teleported him directly to Salhera.

“Dear!?”

Luo Lin, who was sitting boredly on the throne and playing with her silver hair, saw Tang En suddenly appearing. She cheered and rushed over.

With a “snap”, she lost her balance again and fell to the ground.

“Woo!”

Luo Lin held her nose and floated up. Her long silver hair hung behind her like a waterfall. She simply flew over.

“My dear, why are you here?”

However, just when she was about to throw herself into Tang En’s arms, the ghostly Laura seized the position one step ahead, and her long white fingers gently touched Tang En’s cheek. With a charming smile on her face: “Do you miss me?”

“Mother!”

Luo Lin screamed in protest: “How could you do this!”

“My daughter, you must admit that you are more charming than me. There’s a long way to go.”

Tang En said a little unnaturally: “Don’t be like this, I have something to talk to you about.”

“Is there anything we can talk about slowly in bed…Barold?”

Laura said at this time He noticed Barrod next to him: “Sorry, your height has not changed at all. It’s hard to notice you.”

Barrod’s face became very ugly: “You damn-“

Considering that Tang En was next to him, , Barrod changed his words abruptly: “——Asshole, do you want to fight with me?”

“We have fought so many times and when have you ever won? If I hadn’t let you go, you would have died long ago. How many times have I known.”

Laura is a legendary strongman. Although Barrod’s strength is also very powerful, he is still far from being legendary, so he has never defeated Laura. This time, Laura opened his wounds again. , Barrod became even more angry.

Seeing that the two sworn enemies were about to quarrel again, Tang En had no choice but to say: “Okay, be quiet.”

“My dear, I listen to you.”

With one sentence from Tang En, Laura immediately turned into a well-behaved little lamb.

Even though Barrod’s teeth were itching with hatred, he closed his mouth at this time.

“How is the situation in the underground world recently? Is the food supply sufficient?”

Tang En first talked about an unrelated topic to lighten the atmosphere. After all, the dark elves and red stone dwarves are now concerned about the food issue.

Luo Lin rushed to answer: “Of course there is no problem. The food supply is very abundant. Our people can now have enough to eat and live very comfortably.”

Our people?

Tang En felt very awkward about the word she used.

Barrod said: “As the little queen said, everything is fine in the underground world now, and the mining of light crystals is also stable. Thanks to the abundant food, we are now further exploring the underground world.”

Laura spread her hands: “That’s true. If there weren’t those nasty lizard people, our life would be better…”

Tang En smiled: “I’m here just to talk about the lizard people.”

Laura was stunned. “What can I say about the lizard people…”

“It depends on how you treat them.”

Tang En said with a smile: “Although they are like wild beasts, they are somewhat intelligent and easier to tame than wild beasts.”

Now Even Barrod scratched his head: “You want to tame them? What’s the use of lizardmen?” “

Since they live in the underground world, it means they are very good at digging holes, right?” “

That’s true.”

” With this kind of specialty, if they were tamed and helped me mine in the mines, wouldn’t they be a very good labor force?”

Tang En said with a smile: “Lizard people also have very strong reproductive capabilities. On the one hand, this can Reducing their harm to the underground world, on the one hand, it can indirectly control them, and at the same time, it can also solve the problem of labor shortage under my command. It can be said that it kills multiple birds with one stone.”
