Chapter 106 The Second Digging Realm
Ding…………
In the valley mine, a palm-sized piece of iron ore was chiseled off the rock wall and hit the ground with a crisp sound.
Xia Hong, who was sweating profusely, first put down the horn chisel in his hand, and then picked up the iron ore on the ground, his face full of exhaustion.
"Fifty pounds, five units, coal is almost used up, and the same is true for iron. Hunting must stop for a while, and time must be dedicated to mining."

Xia Hong sighed. This month, he had devoted one-third of his time to mining coal and iron, but he still couldn't keep up with the rate of consumption.
You should know that almost all the iron and coal in the camp are currently used only to prepare materials for the soon-to-be-built wooden house and to create necessary tools.
But even this is completely unavailable.
No, it's not that there's a lack of supply. If Luo Ming hadn't left behind a large amount of coal and iron, the plan to build a new wooden house would never have been possible.
According to the concept, although the main body of the newly built wooden house is made of golden wood, in order to ensure stability and extend the service life as much as possible, a lot of iron materials are still used in key parts, joints, and internal structures.
In order to accommodate more people, Xia Hong set the specifications of the new wooden house to be very large, with a length of 200 meters and a height of 15 meters, and it was divided into three floors. This made the construction more difficult and used more materials. amazing.
"It has been four months since planning, and the ground piles totaling 800 meters have only been driven less than 100 meters. This is the result of me reducing the number of hunting and trying to allocate more time for pile driving; the wood preparation is about the same. According to Mu Dong, the iron materials needed can be prepared in just over two months
In other words, the biggest difficulty is the ground piles. ”
Xia Hong frowned. The iron materials used in the new wooden house were disposable, and the main body was made of wood. The demand for iron ore was not large, so he tried his best to allocate time to mine iron ore, and added Luo A lot of iron ore left behind by Ming was barely enough to be supplied.
There is no solution to the problem of ground piles.
He was the only one digging in the entire camp, and he could only dig the ground piles by himself. If other logging players wanted to dig, they had to use coal and stone to soften the ground, which again involved the problem of insufficient coal.
It seems that after two months, even if the materials are ready, we can only wait for all the ground piles to be driven before we can start construction.
Xia Hong took a deep breath and stopped thinking about it.
Pick up the horn pick next to you and prepare to continue mining iron ore.
But just as he was about to dig in, Xia Chuan happily walked into the mine and shouted at him from afar.
"Brother, someone has made a breakthrough again!"
Clang…………
Xia Hong continued to chisel without turning his head. He just asked casually: "How many are there this time?"
During this period, people broke through the logging realm every night, sometimes even five or six at a time. The total number of people in the logging realm in the camp has exceeded a hundred, so now he is a little numb and not as excited as he was at first.
"There are seven, and...Luo Yuan."
Seven, counting the previous one hundred and three, the total number of people in the camp logging realm is now one hundred and one.
Wait...
"Luo Yuan also made a breakthrough?"
Xia Hong subconsciously calculated the total number of people in the logging realm. When he realized that Xia Chuan said that Luo Yuan had also broken through, he suddenly threw away the claw chisel in his hand, then turned to look at Xia Chuan and confirmed it again.
Seeing Xia Chuan nod, Xia Hong suddenly beamed with joy and rushed out of the mine without saying a word. Xia Chuan also hurriedly followed.
Although the iron-making furnace can heat up a hundred meters in radius, the range of the firelight is still limited. Considering that more and more people are practicing martial arts outside at night, a lot of wood in the camp has overflowed, and the valley terrain is concealed enough, Xia Hong decided to Let people light a bonfire outside every night.
Of course, this bonfire still needs to be extinguished during the day.
When Xia Hong walked out of the mine, he saw everyone gathered around the campfire and hurried over. "The leader is here, give way!"
Xia Chuan rushed in front of him, shouted a few times, and opened a path.
Xia Hong walked into the crowd along the path he had opened, and saw Luo Yuan under the bonfire waving his horn chisel vigorously in the pile. As he struck, the soil in the ground was being dug up.
The ground piles for the newly built wooden house have been dug for more than a hundred meters. The end where the iron furnace burns coal to soften the ground is behind the wooden house. The end where Luo Yuan is digging is unsoftened by coal. Originally, only he could dig it. .
But now, Luo Yuan is also digging hard. What it represents is self-evident.
After confirming with his own eyes that Luo Yuan had really broken through to the Digging Realm, Xia Hong was suddenly excited.
"Mu Dong, bring me the clothes!"
Xia Hong turned his head with joy and gave instructions to Mu Dong. Seeing Luo Yuan still digging the soil, he quickly ordered him to stop, and then called him up.
"Chief, from today on, you don't have to work so hard anymore. I can also dig piles with you, hehe!"
Luo Yuan, who had just made a breakthrough, was obviously in a good mood. He wiped his sweat first and waved the chisel at Xia Hong, his tone full of joy.
Xia Hong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then realized why Luo Yuan was digging here as soon as he broke through;
Looking around again, I found that everyone in the camp looked at me with eyes full of reverence, but more or less, there was also a hint of guilt.
Xia Hong thought for a moment and understood the reason. His expression immediately brightened and he felt much relieved.
During this time, he was the one who led the hunting team in the camp, he was the one who mined coal, he was the one who mined, and he was the one who dug the piles.
Obviously, he has been wearing many hats for such a long time, and his hard work for the people in the camp has not been in vain.
"Don't be too happy too soon. A breakthrough means greater ability. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Now it's just mining and digging piles. When you get stronger, maybe I can even do hunting." Leave it to you.”
Luo Yuan nodded heavily when he heard this, his face full of eagerness to try.
After Xia Hong finished speaking, he turned to look at the others and said with a smile: "You all feel sorry for me, right? If you feel sorry for me, go away and practice, one by one in the logging realm and the digging realm. If you break through and help me, then It’s so distressing, look at me now, it’s useless, go away!”
"Leader, I'm going to practice right now, don't kick me, don't kick me."
"Hahahaha..."
Xia Hong laughed and cursed, and then kicked Yuan Cheng who was closest to him. Yuan Cheng grinned and screamed, which immediately caused everyone to burst into laughter.
However, everyone laughed and dispersed quickly, and quickly fell into the intense practice. It was obvious that they had taken Xia Hong's words into their hearts.
Everyone's reaction caused a warm color to flash across Xia Hong's face.
When Mu Dong brought the clothes, Xia Hong personally handed them to Luo Yuan. Looking at this second digger in the Great Xia camp after him, Xia Hong's long-tightened heartstrings finally relaxed. A little bit.
Luo Yuan's breakthrough not only meant that his personal mining pressure was reduced, and the speed of piling new houses in the camp was greatly improved, but it also improved the efficiency of hunting.
More importantly, the gap between the three brothers Xia Chuan and Zhao and Luo Yuan is not big. Luo Yuan's breakthrough means that these four are fast.
This means that the number of excavation realms in the Great Summer Camp will soon be the same as that in the previous Rogge Camp.
If compared with the overall strength, the current Daxia has far surpassed the Rogge Camp in its heyday. After all, there are 110 people in the logging realm in Daxia now.
"Luo Yuan, from today on, when you are not hunting, you will mine with me. When Zhao Long, Xia Chuan and others make another breakthrough, the construction of the new wooden house should be started soon!"
"Yes, leader!"
Probably sensing the excitement in Xia Hong's tone, Luo Yuan nodded heavily, his face full of excitement and anticipation.
