These two mines are located deep in the forest. Under the leadership of the hunter, Zhu Haitao and others carefully walked through the forest and finally found it.

Zhu Haitao carefully surveyed the two mines and found that these two mines were completely sufficient for the initial construction of Fengtian Prefecture. Moreover, both mines were open-pit, so there was no need to work hard to dig underground.

As for food, Zhu Haitao doesn't have to worry. There is a river called Hongjiang near Fengtian Prefecture. Both sides of the bank are full of rice planted by villagers from Tianwu Village. The climate here is very good and the soil is very fertile. The rice can even be ripened three times or four times a year. It is a country of Tianfu.

It’s a pity that this place has been harassed by natives, and local Chinese people have not been able to concentrate on production. Otherwise, this place would have been the Chinese world.

Everyone was busy with firewood and flames, and this ancient teaching was applicable everywhere. After some preparation, a total of more than 2,000 people in Tianwu Village participated in the army. Now Zhu Haitao has an army of 2,800 people, organized into twenty-eight companies, divided into eight battalions, and another engineering battalion, with a total of 3,300 people.

Although most people did not have guns yet, Zhu Haitao still formed them all and carried out strict military training. At the same time, while they were resting, Zhu Haitao also asked them to open a road from the two mines to Fengtian Mansion. In just over twenty days, all the forests around the two mines were cleared out, and the roads leading to Fengtian Mansion were also repaired.

After the road was repaired, Zhu Haitao began to build a steelmaking blast furnace. In this era, crucible steelmaking has appeared in Western Europe. It uses the method of filling the refined pig iron and scrap steel into a crucible made of graphite and clay to melt the furnace material by flame heating, and then cast the melted furnace material into steel ingots.

The iron material will continue to absorb the carbon in the graphite and melt it into high-temperature iron. It will be poured into small ingots and forged into the desired shape. When the steel melts in the crucible, the graphite can also act as a reducing agent.

This is the first method to produce liquid steel in human history, but the problem is that the production volume is very small and the cost is high. In later generations, except for some laboratories, it no longer belongs to the steel production category.

Zhu Haitao had known this kind of steelmaking method before and knew how to make this refractory material that can withstand high temperatures of 1,600 degrees Celsius, so he made it out immediately.

Now the ability to refine these barrels is available, but there are only some key machinery and equipment. If possible, Zhu Haitao will be able to equip his troops now.

At this time, news came from Egonzalovic.

He is also a character, and he had long known that Conde was not a good bird, so he also set up stations in Batavia, under the control of the Dutch and Macau, under the control of the Portuguese, to do trade, and to have three holes.

In Batavia and Macau, he purchased the steam engine and some original machine tools needed by Zhu Haitao. Some very important machines in this era have not been invented, such as very important hydraulic machines. It was not until 1795 that J. Bramer of England invented the hydraulic press and lathes by his apprentice Mozli in 1796; the first boring machine born for the processing of cannon bore was invented by the British Wilkins in 1775; and the milling machine was invented by Whitney in the United States in 1818.

However, these are nothing in front of Zhu Haitao. As long as Gonzalovic put these primitive machines in Fengtian Mansion, he would have a way to get the machines he needed.

The place where the two traded was on the original Peach Blossom Land Island. Zhu Haitao placed a small number of waiting people on it. As soon as Gonzalovic came, he immediately took the clutch to report to Zhao Haitao. Even if the foreigners found out that this place was fine, at most they just wanted this island. The people above would retreat as soon as possible and notify Fengtian Mansion to prepare.

In the first transaction, Zhu Haitao went to the dock to pick him up. This time he brought his mistress over here. The three of them stood on the high ground and watched Zhu Haitao move the goods in boxes of boxes to another ship. Zhu Haitao suddenly felt that his plan was completed very quickly.

"How is my sister now?" Gonzalovic's first sentence was to ask his sister.

"Don't worry, your sister is very good on the island. We won't let her hurt a hair." Zhu Haitao solemnly assured him, and at the same time he looked at the sexy woman Emily beside him. She was wearing a beige dress. Under the sea breeze, her sexy ketone body always appeared and felt itchy in her heart.

Gonzalovic seemed to have noticed Zhu Haitao's strangeness, looked at Emily, and then said, "This time I will go to your city to see your achievements, and then look at my sister."

"Okay!" Zhu Haitao agreed.

After the stuff was packed, Zhu Haitao took Gonzalovic and Emily to Fengtian Mansion.

"Have you heard the news in Manila? Did Comte know about the robbery of gold?" Zhu Haitao has not received any news from Manila recently. Li Hongtao, who had never met him, did not give him a accurate letter, but said that Manila has always been as usual.

"Conde doesn't know about this now. You killed too hard in that naval battle last time. Moreover, the incident happened very far from land. Even if the sailors were floating on the sea, they would not be able to reach the surrounding islands." Gonzalovic said.

"That's good." Zhu Haitao didn't want the Spanish authorities to discover what was happening under their feet. Zhu Haitao is still very weak and is no match for them at all.

The fleet soon arrived at Fengtian Mansion and saw the two blast furnaces on the shore steaming, and some red brick houses arranged neatly on the shore. Gonzalovic was shocked.

"I really didn't expect that just two months have passed, and you have developed into what you are now. This is a miracle on earth!" Gonzalovic sighed.

"This is also a contribution to you. With the machines you transported, we will go to the next level. Now that we have an army of thousands of people, we only have guns and ammunition. If there are these machines you transported, I can fill them up." Zhu Haitao said confidently.

Gonzalovic looked at Zhu Haitao and saw that there was no one around, he said to him: "I believe you, Mr. Zhu. It seems that I chose you correctly. If you like my Emily, I can transfer her to you, and my sister can also become yours."

It seems that Gonzalovic is sincerely willing to follow him, so Zhu Haitao said, "Then I'm better obey my duty than respect. We welcome your joining."
