Xu Yi looked up at the small hill that looked a little abrupt on the Black Rice Wasteland in the distance, and pointed to a place not far from the hill, which was piled up in a mess of wooden houses, which seemed to be a small village. He asked President Reelsa: "That should be the Worel werewolf tribe, right?"

President Reelsa looked at Xu Yi in surprise: "President Xu, how do you know? Did you actually come to the Hei Mi Tribe before?"

"I haven't been here. But I know that there are good things near this Wollar werewolf tribe." Xu Yi smiled slightly, pointed to the hill and said to President Cruise, "Didn't you just say that I don't understand what the benefits of building a highway to the entrance of the Orc Tribe? Let me tell you, as long as we dig out a little of the things under the hill, it will be enough to make money back to build a highway."

President Cruise and President Reelsa looked at the ordinary hill in the distance together. President Reelsa shook his head: "I have been here so many times, but I never know what treasure is buried under the small broken hill."

"That's right, if there really is a good thing, the orcs from this werewolf tribe have already dug out and sold them. Are you still waiting for you to dig?" President Cruise also looked disbelief.

"First, they don't have the strength to dig out the treasures below. Second, they don't know the treasures below at all, and even if they have the ability, they won't dig out." Xu Yi said. "Now I have the ability to dig out those treasures, and I also know what those treasures can be used for. So who else can you let me do if you don't wait for me to dig?"

Seeing Xu Yi was not like a joke, President Cruise frowned and asked, "President Xu. What kind of treasure is there below? It's worth your special trip to the Orcs?"

Xu Yi glanced at President Reelsa: "President Reelsa, are you interested too?"

President Reelsa thought for a while and nodded, "Of course I'm interested. I have been doing business with the orcs on the Black Mi Wasteland for so many years, but this is the first time I heard that there will be any treasures in this broken place. President Xu, come and listen. If it's a good thing, let's work together to dig it out and make some money."

"Okay." Xu Yi deliberately said it in front of him, of course he was planning to pull him into the group.

It will definitely be difficult to do something under the noses of these orc tribes such as the Black Rice Plateau.

President Reelsa is the most suitable candidate for Xu Yi.

"According to the information I have now, if nothing unexpected happens under that hill, there is actually a very rich vein of non-ferrous metal ore. The main ones should be aluminum ore and copper ore. There are also some tungsten ore and a small amount of lead ore. If they are mined, it will be very beneficial for industrial development. Even if it is not used in magic machinery, it will be used in other places..."

"Stop!" President Cruise raised his hand and interrupted Xu Yi. "I said to President Xu, you said it for a long time, but I didn't understand almost a word. I know copper, because I have to use this thing when making copper coins. But what is non-ferrous metal? What is aluminum ore, tungsten ore and lead ore? What are you talking about?"

President Reelsa, who was standing beside him, was also confused: "Yes, I know copper mine too, but what are the non-ferrous metals you mentioned for? What do they look like?"

Xu Yi was stunned and then remembered that the mining and utilization of non-ferrous metals on the Synes continent was extremely rare. In addition to mining some copper veins because of the need to make copper coins, because the machinery industry was underdeveloped, even the use of iron was not particularly large.

What's more, these non-ferrous metals that do not look as good as iron after being deeply processed.

"Uh... I'm afraid that it will not be clear to you in a short while to explain the role of these non-ferrous metals in detail. Let's say that. Now the price of one ton of iron ore in the Falkao Chamber of Commerce has increased to seven gold coins. Do you know? If he could sell me one ton of copper ore, how much would I pay for it?"

President Cruise frowned: "Copper ore is mainly used to cast copper coins. The kingdom official has very strict control. Even if you want to buy it, the Falcao Chamber of Commerce will not sell it to you."

"Hmm? Well, let me change the example. Uh... the price of aluminum ore is too different, so I'll say that lead ore is good. I'm willing to buy the same ton of lead ore at a price of twenty gold coins!"

President Cruise and President Reelsa raised eyebrows at the same time: "Are you saying true?"

"Of course it's true. What do I lie to you?" Xu Yi snorted softly. "Tell you that the uses of various non-ferrous metals are even much wider than iron, and there is a lot of need for the use of magic machinery. President Cruise, have you always hoped that I could help you develop some large-scale engineering magic machinery? Our Chamber of Commerce has not been able to develop it before. In addition to the bottleneck limits on the research on magic array power, it is also due to material restrictions."

"Because what non-ferrous metals are needed?" asked President Cruise.

"Well, that's it. Iron and various alloy steels alone cannot fully meet the requirements of making large-scale engineering magic machinery."

In fact, this sentence is very nonsense. It is absolutely competent to make ordinary large-scale road construction machinery.

But now Xu Yi is trying to get these two people into the gang and bully them. Anyway, he doesn't understand, so he can just talk nonsense.

Sure enough, when he heard Xu Yi's answer, President Cruise nodded: "Well, I understand this way. But it doesn't matter what you are doing. Just know that the non-ferrous metals you are talking about are valuable. Since there are valuable things..."

President Cruz looked at President Relsa, and President Relsa immediately snorted coldly: "It is a waste to stay in the territory of the orcs. Anyway, those simple-minded orcs will not understand the value of these things at all, so we might as well dig it out for them."

Xu Yi laughed and thought to himself that President Reelsa didn't know whether he had such a personality or because he had been dealing with the orcs for too long, he was infected by the orcs with this arrogant personality that he could do whatever he wanted.

But he just agreed to join the group, but his personality doesn't matter.

Of course, if you want to mine non-ferrous metals under the nose of the orc tribe, you also need to make some careful consideration.

The three of them gathered together and discussed carefully for a long time before they decided to make a preliminary plan. President Relsa first brought the two into the Woral werewolf tribe and then determined according to the situation.

After determining the preliminary action plan, Xu Yi came to Steele, who was wandering back and forth on a wasteland where only a few grasses grew.

"How is the situation?" Xu Yi asked.

Steele's face was heavy and shook his head: "It's not good. Look..."

Steele raised his foot and pressed his strength to the ground a little, and the ground immediately fell into a small hole.

There is no soil moisture in the pit, only yellow sand.

"This wasteland has become like this. No wonder so much mud and sand rushed in the Sandy River." Steele said in a deep voice. "But I just asked Yanis and the others, and they said that although the Black Rice Wasteland was also very desolate before, the ground was always full of weeds, and it was not as desolate as it is now."

"It should be because these orcs overgrazing have caused the depletion of vegetation resources on this wasteland, which has caused soil erosion."

Xu Yi squatted down, grabbed a handful of sand on the ground, and then grabbed a handful of fine sand.

The fingers just loosen slightly, and the fine sand poured down from the gaps of the fingers like running water.

Xu Yi felt the feeling of the fine sand flowing through his fingers.

This situation is very similar to the situation in the northwest of the Heavenly Dynasty on Earth.

When he was on Earth, he visited the construction machinery problem in a certain province in the northwest. When he saw the ground was deserted and yellow sand was everywhere, he was very shocked.

He knew very well that if this situation was not governed, the entire land would eventually be desertified and could no longer live in people.

The black rice wasteland in front of me has actually shown some signs of desertification. If I leave it alone, I believe that it will become a desert in no time.

Don’t say that these orcs may not be able to continue living here, even the Kingdom of Lampari, which is closest to the Black Rice Wasteland, will be extremely severely affected.

Compared with the Earth, the Sainz Continent has a huge advantage in this regard, that is, the existence of the elves.

The elves are known as the forest race. Even when they ruled the entire Synes continent before the race war, the elves generally lived in cities made up of large numbers of trees.

At that time, the entire Synes continent could be said to be completely shrouded in green. Not to mention deserts, there were even fewer places that were not covered by forests.

With a long period of historical precipitation, the elves have special inheritance and ability in how to cultivate plants.

The situation in the black rice wasteland in front of you seems very difficult to put on the technological level on the earth, but in the eyes of the elves, it is not a problem at all.

Xu Yi looked around and found that no orcs had appeared, so he shouted softly: "Yanis."

Yanis's figure flashed quietly beside Xu Yi, who pointed to the sand-covered land and asked her, "How is it? Can this environment be improved?"

"It's very simple." Yanis's very affirmative answer instantly made Xu Yi feel at ease. "In fact, the elder sent his clan members to talk to these orcs decades ago, hoping to plant a forest on the Black Rice Wasteland to improve the environment of the Black Rice Wasteland. But he was rejected by the orcs."

Xu Yi glanced at Yanis and thought that on the Continent of Sines, the forest could almost be synonymous with the elves. Your elves ran to the orcs and told them to plant a forest on the territory of your orcs, which was no different from the explicit saying that I was coming to seize your territory. It would be strange if the orcs could agree.

But this time, it was not the elves who were going to plant trees here, but the human Xu Yi. I wonder what the orcs would think?
