Chapter 433

After discussing the distribution agreement, more details will be discussed at the top. The workshop for refining secret silver must be built in the city of San filto. Entering here requires strict accession to the throne. The reason for this is to prevent those wizards from making deductions in the process of refining secret silver.

The silver mine associated with the secret silver mine found by Edmund is not far from the city of San ferto, located in the southeast of the city of San ferto, with a straight-line distance of about 50 kilometers. This is a mountain range. There are not only silver mines, but also iron mines, copper mines and coal mines. It can be said that this is an important raw material base in San ferto city.

There is a small town at the foot of the mountain. The town has no name, but it is called mine town because it is at the foot of the mine. Now the town has become overcrowded in just a week. A large number of miners came here from San ferto.

These miners were originally residents of slums. Originally, these people were engaged in urban construction. Sulun specially dispatched some people to dig mines. Because of the iron smelting blast furnace, the iron ore consumption in Santa ferto city has increased several times. In order to think about the supply, we can only expand the output of iron ore. a large part of these miners are sent to the iron ore plant.

Sulun and Edmund came to the mining town together. The silver mine where secret silver was found is also here. Silver and secret silver seem to have undergone changes due to special environment and energy, and great changes have taken place in physical and chemical properties. According to the research left over from the era of the arcane Empire, secret silver is the product of the variation of silver elements in the earth's crust.

Usually, it only appears in the world or plane where the [element tide] has occurred. This metal is distributed without any rules, and the quantity is very rare, but it is distributed all over the continent, but the content of this metal is very low, which can only be found by lucky people.

The most famous description of this metal is "as strong as a dragon scale and as light as a feather", but in fact, although Mithril is extremely strong, its weight is still close to half that of iron. It is an exaggeration. The weight of Mithril is only one third that of silver.

The real value of Mithril is its amazing ductility and magic guiding ability. After refining, it will never fade. Its physical properties are extremely stable. It is the metal material with the highest magic guiding efficiency among all known metals and alloys. Magical patterns made of secret silver can be used for thousands of years without worrying about natural loss.

Once there was a secret silver lock armour in the era of the arcane empire. This lock armour has strong defense and is very light. Runes are engraved on each ring of this lock armour. In addition to strong defense, it is also attached with many powerful spells, and this is a rare powerful armor that will not interfere with the magic casting of wizards.

This equipment can be said to be an artifact for those wizards, but forging armor with secret silver is still a very luxurious behavior. If its conductivity is not considered, the hardness of secret silver is not the best among many metals and alloys.

For example, refined gold has strong defense ability. The armor made of this metal is very strong. In addition to excellent physical defense, refined gold armor also has strong magic defense. Refined gold can also be used to make weapons. The weapons made of refined gold are very sharp and can directly ignore 20 points of defense. Ordinary heavy armor will be easily pierced. Its value is not much lower than Mithril.

Sulun took many workers to the mining town. After a day's repair here, he went to the silver mine in the mountains. This silver mine was discovered only in the city of San ferto in recent years. It can only be regarded as a medium mine in the kingdom of Florence.

Of course, Su Lun doesn't care how much silver is produced here. After all, the price of an ounce of secret silver can easily buy a few tons of silver.

Su Lun looked at the silver mine in front of him. It was very simple around the silver mine. The whole silver mine was surrounded by a three meter high wall. Next to it was a row of simple and low houses with poor living conditions, while on the other side was a luxurious three storey villa. There are only three mines in the mine, and there are only more than 200 mining workers. They are as numb as skin and bones. It seems that a gust of wind can blow them down. There are a large number of powerful guards patrolling around the mine.

Su Lun toured the mine without expression, and the manager of the mine next to him followed him carefully.

"Your Majesty, this silver mine can dig out about 10 tons of ore every day, and after refining, you can get about 30 kilograms of silver..." hard, the manager of the silver mine, moved his round body with a flattering expression on his face. His fat body was strangled by his clothes, People can't help worrying about whether his clothes button will burst next second.

"Your Majesty, it's windy and dusty outside. Why don't you wait in the office?"

Su Lun looked around the mine and nodded, "OK, send someone to send some of the various ores in the silver mine."

"Yes, I'll send someone to do it now." after sending sulun to the villa, hard immediately sent someone to collect silver ore. after waiting for about ten minutes, a basket of silver ore was sent over.

Su Lun picked up a silver mine, which weighs about 5kg and has a gray surface. It doesn't have the bright color of silver at all. It looks insignificant. This is a normal phenomenon. Silver will produce oxidation reaction in the air. It seems that most of the silver is just smelted, It will turn black after a period of time.

Basically, some other metals will be added to the circulating silver coins, because pure silver is soft and not resistant to wear, so some copper will be added. For example, the ratio of silver to copper in the silver coins produced in Zhenbei city is 8:2, and 20% of a silver NAR is copper, but the price of silver coins is calculated according to 100% of pure silver.

The silver coins forged in Zhenbei city are exquisite in shape and sufficient in weight. They are very popular during trading, much more popular than the silver coins originally forged in the kingdom of Florence.

In this way, at least 15% of the profits can be obtained by casting a silver coin. Therefore, casting silver nards is a very profitable business. In addition to silver nards, gold nards are also the same. Gold is softer than silver and is easy to be damaged in the process of circulation. Therefore, copper is also added to casting gold nards, with the proportions of 85% and 15% respectively.

It can be said that a mint is a hen that can lay golden eggs. Now the monthly profit of zhenbeicheng Mint is more than 20000 ginals.

The coinage workshop in Zhenbei city is forged by hydraulic coining machine. The forging speed is fast, the process is simple, and the cost is low. The silver nard pattern is clear and exquisite, which is much more advanced than the technology used in Florence. Sulun has planned to build a mint in San ferto city.

There was nothing special about the silver ore in front of him. Su Lun simply checked it and put it down. Then he continued to look for other silver ores. A basket full of silver ores was about 200 kilograms. Su Lun and wizard Edmund began to check. Soon, Su Lun found an ore different from other ores.

This is an ore slightly larger than the fist. The surface of the ore is also gray, but in addition to gray, there are some silver blue fine particles on the surface of these ores, which reflect some luster under the sunlight. Su Lun nodded slightly, quietly put the silver ore aside, and then continued to search for it.

The amount of ore of more than 200 kg is not large. It took about 15 minutes to check all the ores. They found three ores with silver blue particles from this pile of ore. The combined weight of these ores is only about five kilograms.

These ores are naturally Mithril mines, but the amount of Mithril contained in them is poor. This is basically the normal distribution of Mithril mines. It is said that a separate Mithril vein was found in the era of the arcane Empire, and the amount of Mithril contained in it is unbelievable.

Because the secret silver mine is very scattered and rare, it is possible that all such a silver mine will be excavated and mined, and the final secret silver will only weigh dozens of kilograms. Therefore, it is very difficult to steal the secret silver mine.

After determining that the silver mine was indeed accompanied by a secret silver mine, Su Lun was relieved. Then Su Lun sent someone to take over the whole silver mine. For this secret silver mine, Su Lun specially transferred 30 soldiers from his private guard. These soldiers will be the guards of the silver mine, At the same time, the manager of the original silver mine was sent back to the prison in San filto for transformation, and Kane was reappointed as the director of the silver mine.

Next, the silver mine needs to be transformed, at least to make this simple and primitive human shoulder production mode more advanced. Two rails will be laid in the mine to transport ore, the channel also needs to be widened, and various easy-to-operate mechanical tools will be added.

Originally, the workers in the mine were slaves, with low enthusiasm for work and poor food. The work was also carried out in the beating, scolding and whip of the foreman. Naturally, their work efficiency is poor, and sulun will not do so. He is going to adopt the method of quantitative production and stipulate the minimum standard for everyone to collect ore every day. After that, he will have food.

Of course, the food is better than before. It can only maintain the basic consumption. On top of this, there are grades. When the amount of ore collected reaches, you can get the corresponding treatment. As long as you work hard to mine, there is no problem to have meat.

In addition to these, sulun also stipulates that as long as he has worked in the mine for three years and the amount of ore collected during this period reaches a certain standard, he can obtain the identity of a free man and receive ten silver nards.
