Volume 2 Chapter 51 - Steel is the foundation of industry (1/2)

There were indeed many dwarves in the Falling Rain Valley.

After half a year of construction, the new dwarven tribe had taken shape.

Other than most of the dwarves from the Norma and Angola Tribes that moved over, there were many dwarven tribes that chief Siluka and chief Monto knew that had also moved in.

In this new tribe, there was actually a shocking over two thousand dwarves living here. They had almost filled up all the completed parts of the new tribe.

A month ago when chairman Cruise saw all these dwarves moving in, he was so shocked that he couldn’t close his mouth since he had never seen this many dwarves together in his life.

It had to be known that even if all the dwarves in the Lampuri Kingdom were gathered together, it would be less than fifty thousand dwarves. But now there were over two thousand dwarves gathered in a small place like this.

It was no wonder City Lord Sean had specially warned Xu Yi. He wanted him to watch over these dwarves, he couldn’t let anything happen because of them gathering together like this.

Xu Yi actually answered this very naturally. His method of dealing with this was very simple, he would just give all these dwarves some work.

For a frank and honest race like the dwarves, they were satisfied as long as they had food and wine. As long as they accepted the work Xu Yi gave them, not only could they eat their fill, they could also earn a wage which would let them buy good things that improved their quality of life.

Although because of work, Xu Yi had strictly restricted them to not drink, that was only during work times and it didn’t apply when they were off work.

Not to mention that once in a while, Xu Yi had people send over several carriages of wine from the Sachi Manor. They chose a night to hold a banquet and allowed everyone to drink their fill.

This kind of life, to these dwarves that had lived a life of hiding in the mountains, it was a perfect dream that they never dared think of!

Since it was like this, how could they have any thoughts of causing trouble.

On the contrary, they were grateful to Xu Yi who allowed them to have such a good life. Whether it was the Angola or Norma Tribe, or the dwarves that moved in afterwards, they did all they could to finish the work that Xu Yi gave them.

And it was like chairman Cruise’s appraisal. The dwarves were strong, fit, and had more flexible hands than normal people, so they were the perfect workers.

Under the hard work of these dwarves, the Falling Rain Valley quickly developed, almost changing every day.

Before the Falling Rain Road was finished, the dwarves had already flattened the ground of the Falling Rain Valley, preparing to build factories.

After the Falling Rain Road was finished, large amounts of goods were quickly brought in through the Falling Rain Road. The dwarves cooperated with the workers of the Amrit Chamber of Commerce, creating a large change in the Falling Rain Valley in a short period of time.

Compared to when Xu Yi came to the Falling Rain Valley the first time to inspect it, this place had already turned into a large work site.

Other than the remote living areas that the dwarves were still constructing, in a place a bit closer to the Falling Rain Road, there was a giant factory that was slowly rising.

According to Xu YI’s plan, the Falling Rain Valley would be the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s production base.

In the Falling Rain Valley, Xu Yi had arranged a special production workshop for each of the household magic machines.

And each of these workshops, they were all several times bigger than the household magic machine workshop at the Sandton Manor. It was big enough to easily fit several hundred workers at the same time.

When building these workshops, chairman Cruise had expressed his doubts to Xu Yi.

He felt that with the size of the factory the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had in the Sandton Manor, it was enough to produce the household magic machines demanded by Banta City and the surrounding cities. Why would he need to make this many large workshops in the Falling Rain Valley?

Xu Yi knocked down his questions with a single sentence.

“Could it be that our Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s goal is just Banta City and the surrounding cities?”

But no matter how many or how big the new factories were, it naturally couldn’t fill up this ten square kilometer wide Falling Rain Valley.

Other than the living area and the light machine production base, in Xu Yi’s plans, what occupied most of the land in the Falling Rain Valley would be the heavy machine production base.

But whether it was for the Sines Continent or the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, the so called heavy machines was just in its initial form.

Other than the magic machines made by the magic machine workshop, the only heavy machines under the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s name was in the steel factory at the Norma Tribe.

This steel mill’s current monthly output had just broken six thousand tons, it was far from being able to compare to the smallest steel mill on earth.

As for Xu Yi’s goal of making a steel mill that could supply the entire Frestech Chamber of Commerce and the Lampuri Kingdom, it was still a long way off.

Currently the steel mill was mainly refining the Silver Leaf Alloy, which was enough to satisfy the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s need for the Automatic Magic Rice Cooker, the Magic Bread Maker, and the new generation of Magic Air Conditioners.

If they maintained the current output, there was no doubt they couldn’t reach Xu Yi’s goal, they gradually wouldn’t even be able to keep up with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s demand.

So after Xu Yi and chairman Cruise rode into the Falling Rain Valley in their horse carriage, the first thing they saw was a group of dwarves currently holding a large converter that was three meters tall and had a diameter of close to two meters. Then they put a high support onto the converter.

“This thing really is impressive.” It was chairman Cruise’s first time seeing this thing, so he couldn’t help praising it.

“This is still small, you’ll see something even more impressive in the future.” Xu Yi looked down at the inexperienced chairman Cruise in his heart.
