After more than two months of preparation, the mining preparations for the non-ferrous metal veins near the Wollar werewolf tribe have been basically ready.

This time, after Xu Yi and President Reelsa transported the materials needed by the patriarch Voral, they completed the agreement between the two parties to officially mine this non-ferrous metal vein.

After meeting with the patriarch of Woral, the two transported the last batch of materials needed by the mine and the corresponding mine magic machinery to the nearby mine veins, and then held a brief ceremony to announce that the construction of the Woral non-ferrous metal mine, jointly invested by the New Air Chamber of Commerce, the Rekton Chamber of Commerce and the Amley Chamber of Commerce, the Three-Plus Injury, the Amley Chamber of Commerce, the Three-Plus Injury, was officially started.

Since the non-ferrous metal smelting factory of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is still under construction, all the non-ferrous metals mined now will be temporarily stored in the Woral tribe, and will not be processed and smelted until the smelting factory is completed.

The mining on the first day did not achieve much results, and the non-ferrous metal ore collected did not even reach a ton of them.

However, Xu Yi and President Reelsa were not surprised by this situation. After all, the real part of the ore veins is hidden under the surface, and large-scale mining will definitely not be possible in the early stage.

The ability to mine ore on the first day is enough to prove that this non-ferrous metal vein has extremely rich accumulation, and the ore vein is located on the geological surface and is easy to mine.

According to further exploration by several dwarves, this non-ferrous metal vein mainly contains a large amount of aluminum ore and copper ore. The less than one ton of ore mined on the first day were all copper ore.

Judging from the copper ores mined, the copper content in these ores is surprisingly high.

According to a dwarf who had worked in many mines under the name of the Falkao Chamber of Commerce, the copper content of these ores was much higher than that of the Falkao Chamber of Commerce he had seen.

This is a result that Xu Yi was very satisfied.

As of now, because the research and development of wind-type magic generators has made further breakthroughs, the Bella group, which is mainly responsible for the research and development of this, and the dwarves such as Camby, has successfully developed a small wind-type magic generator that can stabilize the output power. Therefore, in order to further develop, there will obviously be a large amount of copper with extremely strong conductivity.

Of course, since he was awakened by Steele last time, Xu Yi is no longer as persistent in power research and development as before.

After careful consideration and comparison, Xu Yi found that although electricity is extremely wide and important for the industrial system on earth, the existence of magic can use the power of magic to replace the role of electricity in many places, and even perform better than electricity.

For example, take air conditioners as an example. Air conditioners on the earth need power to be activated. If you want to achieve a suitable cooling effect, the power consumption will reach 3,000 or even 4,000 watts, and you will consume three to four degrees of electricity in one hour.

Calculated based on the most common thermal power generation in the Celestial Empire on Earth, it is equivalent to consuming a minimum of 0.5 kilograms of coal in one hour.

This energy consumption rate is obviously extremely high.

If it is replaced by the Xinfei Magic Air Conditioner produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it is just the lowest-level magic crystal that is the size of a palm. It is enough to support it to work for three days and three nights in a row.

On average, the energy consumption of an hour is probably just a magic crystal less than the size of a fingernail.

By connecting this energy consumption with the fact that magic crystal mines are everywhere on the Sainz continent and the content of magic crystals is extremely rich, it can be easily seen that in this world, magic air conditioners are more suitable than electric air conditioners on the earth.

More importantly, consuming magic crystals will not cause any pollution. This is much stronger than thermal power generation.

So although Xu Yi still attaches importance to power research and development, he does not pay too much attention to it.

For him, electricity is just a supplement to the study of magical machinery.

Because magic cannot solve all problems, electricity can still come in handy when needed.

In addition to copper ore, Xu Yi also attaches great importance to the aluminum ore in this non-ferrous metal ore vein.

Aluminum is also very wide and important in industrial systems, and aluminum alloys with various characteristics can be seen almost everywhere on the earth.

Although the amount may not be as high as iron, in many places, the role of aluminum and aluminum alloys is irreplaceable to iron.

For example, in the three major industries of aviation, construction and automobiles, the special characteristics of aluminum and aluminum alloys will play an extremely important role.

Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has developed many alloy steels with special characteristics, due to the material characteristics of iron, no matter how they are developed, there are some special characteristics that cannot be developed.

Now that this non-ferrous metal vein is available, the Slubi patriarch and his dwarves will have more room for research and development in the future.

In the future, the magical machinery that can be made by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will naturally become more diverse.

Xu Yi was observing the quality of various ores mined, but President Reelsa was observing the work of the workers in the mine veins.

After reaching an agreement with the Worel tribe leader. Today, the Worel tribe leader directly sent ten tribe members to work in the mine, claiming to let the tribe members try it out, and also asked Xu Yi and President Reelsa to observe whether their tribe members are suitable for this job.

Through observation, President Reelsa found that although these werewolfs seemed a little clumsy because of their first contact with various mining magic machinery, they were like skilled human workers.

However, because the werewolfs are naturally physically excellent, their strength is stronger than humans, and their bodies are more flexible, as long as they do not need to control the work of the mining magic machinery, their efficiency will be higher than that of human workers.

After observing this for a while, President Reelsa couldn't help but say to Xu Yi, who was still observing the quality of the ore mined,: "I suddenly realized that you want to hire these orc workers very well."

"Oh?" Xu Yi looked at him unexpectedly. Although President Reelsa no longer objected to the proposal, he never expressed his special agreement. "What? What did you see?"

"Yeah." President Reelsa nodded. "It can be seen that these orcs are indeed in good health. Although they are a little stupid, they are very suitable for doing some physical work. The mine is a place where many jobs require physical strength. Letting these orcs do it faster than us human workers."

"So, any race has their advantages, just make good use of their advantages." Xu Yi smiled slightly. "And you forget that more importantly, the salary of hiring these werewolfs is much lower than hiring human workers."

President Reelsa couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Xu Yi is right. Because this non-ferrous metal vein is in the black rice wasteland and on the territory of the orcs, the three chambers of commerce can only offer high enough salaries to attract people when hiring human workers.

Finally, it was confirmed that the average monthly salary of human workers currently working in this mine actually exceeded thirty gold coins!

This is far beyond the average level of Bonta City.

And because it is far away from Bonta City, it is very inconvenient to supply this human worker.

If you count it, just to ensure the normal life of these human workers, on average, each person spends nearly ten gold coins every month.

In other words, every human worker in this mine costs more than forty gold coins every month!

This cost is also twice as high as that of all the workers in Bonta City.

There are now a total of 200 human workers in this mine, so every month it is on them, all three chambers of commerce will cost nearly 10,000 gold coins!

In comparison, according to the situation where Xu Yi and President Reelsa talked to the Worelle's patriarch, Xu Yi only said that he would pay five gold coins to each werewolf worker in one month, which made the Worelle's patriarch's eyes shine and he was extremely surprised.

And the werewolf's tribe is right next to the mine, and they have almost no living costs.

In comparison, for workers in mines, the cost of a human worker can even be equal to eight werewolf workers. The gap is really ridiculous.

"It seems that the idea of ​​hiring orc workers was really right." President Reelsa sighed. "If the orcs were not generally stupid, it would be difficult to master how to operate those magical machinery. I think this mine would even be free of human workers in the future."

"No, that's absolutely not possible." Xu Yi shook his head. "The main body of this mine must be humans. It is okay to hire orc workers, but humans must occupy the majority of them. Otherwise, if all of them become orc workers, they will likely eventually break away from our control."

"Well, your concern is right." President Reelsa nodded in agreement. "Most orcs are unruly. The beastly nature is difficult to eliminate. If all of them are orcs, they might want to take it for themselves." After a pause, President Reelsa asked again: "By the way, you told the leader of Woral that an orc family can only approve one labor certificate, which is because of this consideration, right?"

"This is only part." Xu Yi smiled. "The real purpose is to pass this restriction. Every family of these orcs will not dare to have any bad thoughts on us humans because they have to worry about their families working in our human factories and the entire tribe who have obtained approved labor certificates. Think about it, if orcs dare to be unfavorable to humans, it will not only cause the highest-ranking family members in their families to lose their jobs, but will even implicate the entire tribe. Do you think he dares to do this?"

President Reelsa took a breath and looked at Xu Yi in surprise.

"President Xu, did you think of this when you wanted to hire the orcs?"

Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Didn't I tell you at the beginning? There are restrictions on the orcs."

President Reelsa looked at Xu Yi in shock for a while, couldn't help but shake his head, and sighed: "President Xu, you really thought it carefully enough. I even think you are a little scary. But how can you be sure that these orcs will have such concerns? It's just a job. Didn't these orcs survive well when they didn't have jobs?"

"That's because they didn't really enjoy a comfortable life before." Xu Yi smiled. "Believe me, when they have a stable enough job and can bring a better life to themselves and their families through this job, they will definitely not be willing to abandon this kind of life. The orcs used to be barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, but when they put on their shoes and experience the comfort of walking on the road after having shoes, they will definitely not want to take off their shoes and walk barefoot again."
