When Wang Laizi heard this, he breathed heavily. Six-grade hematite, an open-pit mine that is easy to mine, is a rare rich ore in the entire empire.
Jiye stood up and looked towards the mountains. His fingers traced in the air, as if tracing the path of a mineral vein. At that moment, Wang Laizi suddenly felt that what the young captain saw was not a stone, but some kind of grander and more sophisticated picture.
"Who was the first person to touch the flower?" Jiye asked.
"Li, Li Ergou."
"Bring him here."
When Li Ergou was found, his face was still pale. Himeno didn't ask him how he felt after seeing the ghost, but only asked for details: "When you touched it, were it cold or hot? Were your fingers numb? Did you feel dizzy, nauseous, or have hallucinations afterwards?"
Li Ergou replied blankly: "Cold, biting cold... Like touching the ice of the twelfth lunar month. My fingers were numb for half an hour, but then I was fine."
Ji Ye nodded and made a few more notes in his notes. "Go and get ten cents, so you can calm down. Don't tell anyone what happened today."
After Li Ergou left with great gratitude, Ji Ye said to Wang Laizi: "Draw a warning area with this flower as the center. No entry is allowed within a radius of ten feet. Send a team of people and build a work shed outside. I will live here for a few days."
"My lord, you have to personally..."
"I want to know whether the iron smelted from this mine is worth the risk the empire takes." Ji Ye looked at the blue flowers with complicated eyes, "I also want to know whether that thing... Can be controlled."
