Chapter 2099: The Omen of the Furnace Explosion
(4, 0);
"My Lords, we have arrived at the Chiyang Mine. [sto.COM, read the chapter without error]"
The voice of the post station clerk came from outside the carriage.
Lin Yue and his companions walked out of the carriage, and all they saw were red mines, and in the distance, thick black smoke was billowing into the air.
"Is this the place where the Chiyang Mine is mined?" Qing Bingying asked.
"That's right!"
Liu Zongta led them forward and began to introduce them.
It turns out that although the Chiyang Ore has the same name, it is divided into different grades due to different qualities. The darker the color of the Chiyang ore, the more precious it is. At the same time, the face value of the Chiyang coin forged with this Chiyang ore will also be higher.
For example, the Chiyang coin with a face value of 10,000 yuan has a very dark brown color.
Like the most common Chiyang coin, its appearance is light red.
"Look, they are mining the Red Sun Mine. Next, all the Red Sun Mine of different sizes will be taken over and sent to the forging furnace for forging. Eventually, they will be transformed into Red Sun Coins and handed over to the clan's financial institution."
Liu Zongta pointed at several young men who were mining in the Chiyang Mine with their bare chests.
"I remember that this kind of mineral seems to have another use?" Lin Yue looked at him deeply and asked.
"Um."
Liu Zongda swallowed and nodded in response.
"In addition to being forged into Red Sun Coins, Red Sun Ore also has another very important function, which is to be used to refine it into a kind of energy input into the barrier outside the city."
"Is it the barrier that we came in through that day?" Lin Yue asked with some intention.
"Yes, after all, the environment outside is too hot. If there is no barrier, many weak civilians will die of heat."
After hearing Liu Zongta's answer, Lin Yue continued to ask in depth, throwing out the question he had always wanted to know.
"Speaking of that barrier, how did you get us in?"
"……Forehead."
When Liu Zongta heard Lin Yue's question, he was about to speak, but suddenly hesitant as if he had thought of something.
After a long while, he slowly said, "This is a special spell within the clan. I can only access it because I am a Black Iron Guard, so I can only keep it secret from the two distinguished guests..."
"I see."
Lin Yue nodded without showing any doubt.
When Liu Zongda saw him like this, he felt a little ashamed, but remembering that this was the part that the family elders asked to be kept secret, he could only sigh helplessly.
At this time, everyone had passed the Chiyang Mine that was being mined and came to a relatively flat surface. In the distance, there were some huge furnaces making whistling sounds.
"These are the furnaces for forging Red Sun Coins."
Liu Zongda introduced them to Lin Yue and the other two.
At this moment, several guards with solemn expressions came from a distance and stood in front of Lin Yue and his companions.
"Stop! The next part is the clan's important territory, entry is prohibited!"
Seeing this, Liu Zongda stepped forward, took out his black emblem and another handwritten letter, and spoke in a serious tone.
"I am the Black Iron Guard, and I am here to bring you here on a tour in the name of the patriarch."
"So you are the Lord of the Black Iron Guard. Please come in!"
After hearing Liu Zongta's self-introduction, the guards suddenly changed their expressions and forced smiles on their faces.
They knew very well in their hearts that the Black Iron Guards had at least the strength of an ancient immortal. Moreover, they had the imperial edict from the elder of the family, so they could not afford to offend them.
When Lin Yue and his companions approached the furnace, the middle-aged men had already returned to their respective guarding places. Only the young men were left beside the furnace, who were struggling to shovel up the Chiyang ore and pour it into the furnace.
Seeing the arrival of Lin Yue and others, the eyes of these young men became numb, as if they were emotionless puppets, without a single fluctuation in their eyes.
"These people look a little abnormal..."
Qing Bingying glanced at these people and asked with some confusion.
"Um."
Liu Zongda nodded and explained to the two of them.
"They are not civilians from Beimo City. Due to the special nature of the Red Sun Coin, workers here cannot go out frequently, so they were deliberately selected to be criminals in the city."
After hearing Liu Zongta's explanation, Lin Yue and the others suddenly understood.
Qing Bingying at the side continued to ask, "What about those people who dug the Chiyang Mine before?"
"Those people are normal civilians. After all, even if they stole the Red Sun Ore, it cannot be turned into Red Sun Coins without special imprinting by the financial institution."
At this moment, something unusual seemed to have occurred in a furnace nearby, and the raging flames in the furnace actually tended to float outward.
Noticing the situation over there, Qing Bingying couldn't help but ask.
"What's going on?"
But Liu Zongta had never encountered anything like this before. He looked at it with a puzzled look and spoke slowly.
"Let's go take a look. Don't worry. Although these furnaces look scary, they are only a threat to ordinary people." (5,0);
Liu Zongta hadn't said anything else. With the strength that Lin Yue showed yesterday, he would probably be unharmed even if he jumped directly into the furnace, let alone watching from outside.
"Okay, it just so happens that those guards dared to go over." Lin Yue nodded slightly and said.
Just as everyone was rushing towards the furnace where the abnormality occurred, the young man who controlled the furnace glanced at them slightly, then pretended to be anxious and shouted to several servants who came running over.
"My Lords, the furnace has suddenly gone out of control. What should we do?!"
"Out of control?"
Hearing this word, the eyes of several servants became a little horrified.
Although problems don’t often occur at the furnace site, once a problem occurs it is a big deal!
You have to know that those who work in the Chiyang Mine are not only criminals, but also ordinary people who work for high salaries. With their unarmed strength, once a furnace breaks and explodes, everyone will be submerged by the high-temperature mineral water inside and lose their lives directly!
Even these guards were only at the Spirit Saint level, and it was impossible for them to effectively deal with the furnace that was about to explode. The best they could do was to save their own lives from the ensuing disaster.
"Why did it get out of control! Didn't you pay attention to the temperature??"
A guard shouted angrily, grabbing the young man by the collar and looking at him viciously.
The young man hung his head and remained silent, as if he had accepted his fate.
The guard who came forward to check the condition of the furnace also added, "Boss, this furnace is absolutely hopeless. The internal pressure is close to the peak value and is still rising. What should we do next?"
