At noon, the mine was under the scorching sun.
Li Yunhao was sitting under the shade and watching the slaves mine.
"The iron ore that was dug up in the morning can barely supply the production of the steel furnace. Let the slaves rest and eat in the afternoon to continue mining.”
The captain called the cooks to carry the food to a cool place.
The cook was wiping his hands with a rag. He nodded and bowed to Li Yunhao."Governor, do you want wine and meat for lunch?”
Li Yunhao waved his hand." The weather is too hot. Go and cook a bowl of meat soup."”
The cook nodded and left.”
The slaves at the bottom of the mine queued up to hand in their mining tools and then queued up to get their bowls and meals.
When the slaves saw the fragrant millet porridge and Hu Bing, they couldn't help but run to the front to cut the queue. The soldiers pulled out the unruly slaves and beat them three times.
The slaves each had a bowl of millet porridge and a Hu cake, while the Turkic slaves only had half a cake and half a bowl of millet porridge.
A Turkic slave who knew Chinese flipped the table."Why do we Turks only have half a cake and half a bowl of millet porridge? We Turks have dignity as captives.”
The cook who served the food raised his spoon and scolded,"Now that there is a shortage of food, we must give priority to the Han people. This is the order of the prefect.”
The surrounding Han people felt their hearts warm."Lord Prefect is wise. Let these Turkic dogs starve to death.”
"The Turkic dogs have invaded the Han territory, burned, killed, and looted.”
The Turkic slave punched the Han in the eye and snatched his Hu biscuit."Go to hell, Han dog."
Han: " F * cking Turks are attacking me in Han territory. Brothers, f * ck off the Turkic dogs!”
The Turks were not to be outdone either. They raised their sleeves and started fighting."Cripple the Han!"
The two groups of slaves of different races in the mine were locked in a scuffle. The scene of 400 Han versus 80 Turkic slaves was chaotic.
Li Yunhao, the initiator of this incident, was eating a soup cake not far away and watching the show.
The lieutenant asked Li Yunhao,"Governor, should I stop them from fighting?"”
Li Yunhao waved his hand." Let the Han continue to fight the Turks. Let them learn from this fight that the Turks are made of flesh and blood like the Han. As long as the Han unite, they can defeat the Turks."”
The lieutenant said,"Lord Prefect deliberately reduced the food of the Turks to lure them into finding trouble. Everyone is really brilliant. This lowly one admits defeat."”
"By defeating the Turks, the Han in the mine can overcome their fear of the Turks and let the Turkic slaves know that Jade Gate Pass is controlled by the Han.”
In less than 15 minutes, the 400 Han had completely wiped out the 80 Turks. The soldiers carried the injured away, and the remaining slaves continued to mine in the afternoon.
After Li Yunhao finished eating the soup cake, he returned to the prefect's residence to enjoy himself.
The temperature difference between the day and night at Jade Gate Pass was particularly large. It was 30 degrees Celsius during the day and 3 degrees Celsius at night.
The yellow sand was as hot as a hot iron pot under the sun, and the wind that blew into the city made people sweat all over.
The prefect's residence was surrounded by greenery. This was the only place in the entire Jade Gate Pass that was cool.
The butler rushed over." Reporting to the prefect. The well in the courtyard has dried up and the water stored is only enough for three days."”
The guard of the city gate ran over in panic."Lord Prefect, the water in the moat has dried up, and the people have no drinking water to drink.”
Li Yunhao placed his hands behind his back." It's just a small matter. Go to the warehouse and transport all the refined steel bricks to the prefect's residence. The people will have drinking water in the afternoon.”
"Governor, are you planning to use steel bricks to exchange water in other cities?" asked the butler. It was impossible to run 200 miles to other cities to get water in half a day.”
Li Yunhao smiled." Changing water is not a long-term and effective way of survival. I want to dig my own well. The rich water resources on this barren land are more valuable than gold mines."”
The Zhonglang General quickly found an ox cart to transport the steel bricks into the prefect's mansion. In one breath, he transported three large carts of steel bricks.
Li Yunhao took out a technological blueprint and added materials in front of everyone. The steel bricks on the car disappeared into thin air one by one.
The maids and guards couldn't help but exclaim when they saw this scene.
"Why are the steel bricks gone? Did the temperature melt because of the high temperature?”
"It's impossible for the steel bricks to melt under the sun.”
"Is the prefect praying for rain?"
"The ironware on the ground disappeared before the furnace appeared. The governor must be making something new.”
"Everyone, be quiet and don't disturb the prefect…"
Three carts of steel bricks were added to the blueprint in one go, and the excess steel bricks were automatically exchanged for electric motor, batteries, and other accessories.
The goatskin scroll was shining with a golden light. Even the scorching sun could not block the dazzling golden light of the blueprint.
He clicked on the generate technology on the left side of his retina, and the sound of hammering came from the building blueprint.
The customer service lady's prompt sounded in his ear.
Ding!
"The drilling machine has begun forging. Wait for 24 hours or spend 2400 gold taels to reduce the forging time.”
Li Yunhao still had 3000 gold taels on hand, so it would not be a problem for him to spend 2400 gold taels.
" Consumed 2400 gold."
Ding!
The forging speed of the goatskin scroll instantly increased, and a mobile fully automatic large-scale drilling machine appeared in the golden light.
The surrounding guards were shocked when they saw the huge metal cart suddenly appear on the empty ground and tremble.
"This is the new machine that the Mayor conjured? It was made of pure metal, just like the furnace.”
"Is the new machine also used for smelting steel?”
"Don't make wild guesses. The prefect said that he wanted to dig a well himself. This metal machine must be used to dig a well.”
" How do I control such a huge machine…"
Li Yunhao sat in the driver's seat and clicked on the touch screen to confirm the location of the well.
The drilling machine started to operate, and the metal drill bit dug into the ground to find the nearest water source.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes…Ding!
The drilling machine found an abundant water source 150 meters underground and immediately laid the pipeline underground.
Steel pipes pierced through the sand, and the surrounding maids went up to take a look curiously.
"Can this machine really produce well water?”
On the equipment, Li Yunhao's lips curled into a smirk. He suddenly wanted to wet these maids in gauze clothes and control the machine to pull out the drill in an instant.
The sound of splashing water came from underground, forming a ten-meter-tall cool water column.
The maids didn't have time to run away. The underground water that gushed out of the steel pipe splashed on their gauze clothes. The maids cried out and enjoyed the coolness that Li Yunhao brought to them.
"Lord Prefect really dug out the underground water. Lord Prefect is so powerful.”
"Could this be an underground spring? The water flow is so big."
" If we have a spring in Jade Gate Pass, we can grow crops. A spring can feed at least 100,000 people in the desert…"
