Lu Chen was already pleasantly surprised when he signed on to the grenade production line.
He did not expect the system to give him a resource map!'
A resource map was simply a strategic map that marked all the resources you needed.
This was definitely a cheat!
Through the resource map, not only could he see the metal ores needed to make various ammunition and shells, but he could also mark the special cotton thread, asphalt, and other materials needed for explosive fuses.
It could be said that with this resource map, Lu Chen did not have to worry about any materials.
After bidding farewell to Li Yunlong, Lu Chen hurried back to Golden Rooster Town.
After checking the resource map, Lu Chen could see the various colors on the system map page.
Different colors represented different raw materials.
The greenish yellow ones meant that there were sulfur ores in the corresponding positions, the light yellow ones meant that there were brass ores, and the brownish yellow ones meant that there were iron ores…
Moreover, there was a special introduction on each corresponding ore label.
There was an introduction to the resources and the difficulty of mining.
The first thing Lu Chen did when he returned to Golden Rooster Town was to investigate the ore resources around the town.
What made Lu Chen slightly disappointed was that the resources of the large-scale mines were basically distributed around the county.
There were only a few small resource points scattered around towns and villages like this.
There was only a small iron ore resource point and a small aluminum ore resource point beside Golden Rooster Town.
He could only obtain iron ore and aluminum ore from nearby sources.
However, it was better than nothing. The resources that could be mined from these scattered small ore resource points were enough for them to produce a lot of things.
Iron, aluminum, and brass were important metals for making grenade shells and bullet shells.
There were iron and aluminum mines next to Golden Rooster Town. Lu Chen immediately asked the second team to form a mining team of more than 100 people and headed toward the resource point.
First, Lu Chen brought them to the iron mine. The iron mine was near the cliff, and there was a deep chasm below.
The iron ore resources were located in an area along the slope and cliff of the chasm.
The iron resources here were hard to identify. The soil in northwestern Shanxi was yellowish, and the iron ore here was a mixture of magnetite, hematite, and meteorite. The color was also yellowish.
Therefore, it was very difficult to recognize them without careful identification.
Lu Chen led the team and asked the construction team to use a stone shovel to dig a big hole in the center and take out a stone from it.
When he placed it in front of him, the construction team members immediately revealed excited smiles.
"This... This stone was an ore, an iron ore!”
"Wow, I've lived in Golden Rooster Town for so many years. I didn't expect that there would be such important resources near this village!”
"Woah, Captain Lu is so mighty. He said that there are ores here, and there really are ores!”
" Hahaha, Great Captain is amazing!"
"The captain is really worried about our development. I see him walking around the existence several times a day. He's really too responsible.”
"Mm, then we have to hurry up and work hard to mine. We definitely can't let the captain down.”
"Alright, let's do it!"
Most of the people Lu Chen recruited were from the town, and some of them were from the army.
The transportation tools were relatively simple. They were the dustpans and burdens commonly used in the countryside.
Fortunately, there was no shortage of carriages in the village. The construction team only needed to pick the ores and put them on the carriages. The carriages could quickly transport the ores to the center of the town.
Lu Chen took out some lime powder and marked out a region for the ores.
He just let the construction team excavate in this area. There was no need to explore other places.
Lu Chen did this to save time and greatly increase efficiency.
It was the same for the aluminum ore. Lu Chen led another construction team to mine the resources.
Lu Chen planned an area and let them mine in the area.
Of course, even in Golden Rooster Town, the mining team was an important force for development and progress.
Lu Chen also wanted to ensure their safety, so he would arrange a small team to escort them beside the construction team.
Currently, Lu Chen's small team had about a hundred people. They were equipped with advanced weapons and ammo. In terms of firepower, they were not inferior to a regular battalion.
With the mining of iron ore and aluminum ore, the only thing missing was the copper ore.
The nearest copper mine was located in a no-man's land more than 40 kilometers northwest of them.
Due to the remote location of the base camp, Lu Chen not only brought a mining construction team but also a carpentry team.
A simple house was built near the copper ore, and two small teams were stationed to carry out the mining escort mission.
In order to make the target less obvious, the copper ores would only be transported once when they had accumulated to a certain extent.
Just like that, after everything was planned out.
The ore resources were transported to Golden Rooster Town in an orderly manner.
