Chapter 116 Super Iron

As it concerns their own survival, the people in the territory are still very fast. Many people who finish their work during the day will come back in the evening before the sun sets and will spontaneously collect some saplings and plant them in various places in Hongshaling.

These special saplings strengthened by Chi Nan can completely purify the Hongshaling area and its vicinity, where the pollution is not too serious, and turn it into land suitable for people to plant, as long as they are planted for about a month.

Chi Nan did not let people plant inside Zhongshaling. Anyway, this place is used to build buildings. This place is planned to be a city in the future, and iron bark trees are not used for cleaning for the time being.

After the saplings are provided, Chi Nan will use the extra time to do other things. For example, some iron bark trees will be born, and jujube trees will be planted on the yellow land that has been born. Because there are more and more people in the territory, Chi Nan can only prepare more to avoid another food crisis in the future.

Now Ruimas is in chaos, so the refugees can still run around. Once Ruimas is conquered, the nobles of the major territories will never allow their people to walk around.

Even if you want to collect some civilians, it is not an easy task. Outside, at this time, Lao Muka had already begun to recruit new civilians and establish new territories. Chi Nan also sent some jujube tree seedlings.

Unlike the inside, these jujube trees are not as simple as seedlings, because such jujube trees are difficult to grow. Chi Nan also grafted the bottom of the jujube trees to help them grow.

When planting, Chi Nan asked Lao Muka to bring people to bury the unclear bottom wood directly underground, so that others would not know what happened.

Three days later,. Omka suddenly returned to Hongshaling. "Lord, good news."

Chi Nan was stunned for a moment: "Why are you here? What happened that made you so anxious."

Hearing that it was good news, Chi Nan teased Lao Muka instead.

Old Muka didn't care, but said excitedly: "Lord, good news, we have tested the metals you brought back last time, they are really amazing. Do you have any more? If there are more, Holm said that this metal will be used to make armor for soldiers." Old Muka danced with excitement.

Chi Nan was a little surprised: "What's going on? Why are you so anxious? Is this metal really amazing?" This is just an alloy, but alloys also have good and bad ones, and there are more bad ones.

Old Muka sorted out his words and explained to Chi Nan: "Lord, it's like this. After inspection, we found that this new metal is very special. First of all, this metal is very light."

Old Muka gave Chi Nan a form. Speaking of which, this form was given to Old Muka by Chi Nan for statistical data. It is much better than the previous situation where it was written directly on paper, a messy piece that couldn't be figured out.

Looking at the form, Chi Nan himself was very surprised. I didn't pay attention to it at first, but now I find that this new metal is only heavier than ordinary wood, and it is very suitable for making light armor.

"What about other aspects, such as hardness and defense?" These cannot be recorded in the table because there is no quantitative system.

Lao Muka continued: "The hardness is very good. After testing, we made the same two swords with different materials. The weapons made of this new material can easily leave scars on the previous weapons, but they are not hurt at all." As he said, Lao Muka took out two swords.

These are all ready. Chi Nan looked at the two swords. The red one was obviously made of special metal. The other normal iron sword also looked like it was made of fine steel, and there was no cutting corners.

But even so, there were many more scars and small gaps on this fine steel sword. Don't underestimate these few gaps. On the battlefield, this is survival ability.

"The new metal is also much better than the previous iron products in terms of toughness. This, I can't explain, please come and see it yourself, Lord, and you will know it then."

Chi Nan nodded: "Sure enough, alloys have their own advantages." Chi Nan himself did not expect that this new metal is stronger and more capricious than ordinary fine steel, and it is also very light. If it has these characteristics at the same time, it is not an ordinary metal. It seems that his territory is really going to be developed.

"Sir, the characteristics of this new metal are almost comparable to some ordinary magic metals, and the output is still very large. Should this matter be kept secret? Not many people know it now." Old Muka whispered.

Chi Nan thought about it, and still shook his head and said: "No need to keep it secret. Anyway, there is no way to keep this secret. It doesn't matter if other people know it. At that time, we will still sell a lot. The iron content underground here is too high. The metal output will definitely be very large in the future. We can't use it up ourselves."

Chi Nan does not plan to develop industry here, so there is no way to use up so many alloys. Besides, my roots are plants, not these metals, so I don't need to worry about it.

Anyway, I control these plants, and the iron ore is on my territory, so others can't take it away even if they want to. "Well, I also need to let them know that I can make all the iron trees wither at any time."

Chi Nan was going to spread rumors, of course, this could not be considered dazzling. Chi Nan felt a little aggrieved. He had to use this method to protect himself because his strength was too weak. However, it would not take long before his strength would surpass that of all the nobles. Chi Nan was sure of this.

"I understand, sir, but the strength of our territory is not suitable for others to know in advance."

Chi Nan nodded: "Yes, we must protect ourselves first. Then, you go and watch, and let those who know not to go out and talk nonsense. Remember to give them some benefits."

Civilians are the private wealth of the lord. In the eyes of Lao Muka, it is very normal for them to keep secrets. Chi Nan is always thinking about giving benefits to civilians. This is the first time he has seen such a person in his life. However, what the lord said is right, and this is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Lao Muka just felt a little weird in his heart, but still nodded to show that he understood.

"We have stored a lot of new metal now, so let's use it to make weapons and armor for soldiers."
