Chapter 179: Elementary Materials
() Use this city as a starting point to build a large force that can give Vina enough support in times of need, not only Vina, but also his future actions may leave Victoria, hoping that this force can also provide him with support behind the scenes.
This is the idea that came to Xia Feng's head.
To be honest, the idea has been around for a long time, but he hasn't figured it out, or made up his mind.
But just now I heard the distribution of Victorian gangs described by the bald head, for some reason, this gave him a feeling of the Three Kingdoms competing for hegemony, which made his whole person boil, and he couldn't wait to plunge into this troubled water now.
Of course, this is definitely not a hasty decision under his impulsive mind, maybe it is not the safest and most correct thing to do at the moment, but in the long run, this is the path he must take, he not only needs his own great strength, but also has enough influence on the world.
It's decided.
As long as it is what he believes will not change, even if his head is broken and bleeding, he will have to go on, of course, this road may be difficult, but with his iron character, it is estimated that the enemy side he is about to face will be even more difficult.
..............
Now that he has decided, he will not sit at home and do nothing, all kinds of troubles used to pounce on his face like flies, and now, he is finally going to start making trouble for others.
Xia Feng looked at Hurd, who was standing behind him.
"Second uncle, you don't have to worry, you also saw it just now, I'm a very good person."
"But..... We can't spend all day with these people, they can be replaced when they are injured, but you only have one. ”
Xia Feng smiled evilly.
"That's easy, if the water pipe keeps leaking and can't be blocked, I'll just cut off its source."
"What do you mean?"
"Second uncle, go back to the house and tell me in detail about the demolition and that bullshit aristocrat."
............
Back in the house, Hurd told Xia Feng the whole thing in detail, or the people who have been teachers are different, the whole incident and related information, what Hurd said is a clear and comprehensive analysis.
.............
As Hurd explained, Xia Feng's eyes became brighter and brighter, because he heard a very unexpected news, that is, about the city, or about this street.
As a second-level nobleman, the Liye family has been developing in the city for several generations, and its power can be said to be deep-rooted, as for why they have been developing in the medium-sized city of Hapi for generations, there is a reason for this.
That is, 6 kilometers north of Hapi City, there is a very rare mining area, Victoria is a country with very scarce minerals, looking at the whole country, this scale of mines is very rare, as for what kind of mine this is, Xia Feng heard a familiar name.
Light manganese ore.
That's right, it's this primary material that can't be synthesized and can only be mined from natural mines, light manganese ore.
This is not a game, and the use of light manganese ore is not an elite operator, and from Hurd's mouth, the use of light manganese ore is very wide in the world of Terra, involving many fields.
Light manganese ore is an important chemical raw material, but also an indispensable raw material for the metallurgical industry, it is a very strong reducing agent, can absorb the oxygen from the molten steel, so that there is no iron oxide in the steel, become a non-porous steel ingot.
Secondly, light manganese ore is also an excellent desulfurizer, it can remove the sulfur in the molten steel, and adding a small amount of manganese to the steel can greatly increase the mechanical properties of the steel, such as specific ductility, ductility, toughness and wear resistance.
Light manganese ore is required for all of the high-quality steel processes known in the world of Terra, such as carbon steel, mixed steel, isoiron blocks, and even the highest quality D32 steel, as well as dyes and desiccants.
In addition to the above, light manganese ore has one of the most important uses, that is, one of the important processing source materials for the production of finished A source stone and B grade source stone.
..............
The Liye family has controlled the area for generations, handing over the necessary amount of manganese ore each year according to the needs of the state, and the rest of the proceeds can be sold to private factories.
Not only Victoria, but also light manganese ore in the world is an important chemical raw material, and some countries and regions do not even have this substance at all, which also leads to high prices.
The Liye family can mine and process light manganese ore at the lowest cost, and then sell it to other regions at a very high price, and if they want to make further profits, there is another way, and that is to avoid the smuggling route of tariffs.
According to historical records, long ago this area was a desolate land without a city, and a geologist who happened to pass by accidentally discovered this huge light manganese mining area.
Since then, the city has been built around the mine, and the city was named Hapi because the name of the person who discovered the mine was Hapi.
There is also a very subtle reason why the Liye family now owns two light manganese chemical plants in Hapi City, and the purpose of their recent expropriation of Kilt Area A is to build a third plant.
Natural light manganese ore will emit a gas when processing and refining, for organisms, this gas is extremely harmful to the body, although it can be isolated with wearing protective equipment, but in the long run, it is still inevitable to inhale this gas, which also leads to the reluctance of ordinary people to work in this chemical plant.
This is the reason why Happee is the Special Administrative Municipality of Victoria, and there are many suburbs like Kild in addition to the main city, the largest of which is, of course, Kilt.
Unlike other cities, the Kild District of Happi is unique in that it is inhabited not only by ordinary people, but also by a large number of legally infected people.
The Kild District is divided into three blocks, Area A, Area B, and Area C, of which Zone A where HD is located is mostly ordinary people, and Zone B is a mix of ordinary people and infected people, and only Zone C is basically severely infected people who are unable to work due to severe physical failure.
In this city, legally infected people have different privileges from other cities, as long as they work in the Liye family's factory for more than 1 year, they can get a house, although it is not a luxurious house, but for ordinary infected people, it is very good not to have several families crammed into a dilapidated house, and the monthly salary is not low.
The Liye family wanted to build a third chemical plant in Kilt Area A, first, to avoid air pollution in the main city, second, to attract infected people from the vicinity to work in this kind of extremely harmful work, and third, to prevent infected people from other cities from working outside the city from not finding a place to live temporarily.
..............
After listening to Hurd's explanation, Xia Feng finally knew what this Don De Master was planning.
Wages and housing, which may seem like a piece of cake, are actually sugar-coated shells, and the wages that need to be paid for this kind of work that is extremely harmful to the body are definitely several times higher than normal.
And the so-called housing is even more ridiculous, inhaling toxic gases coupled with the devastation of ore disease, the infected will soon die, and then the house will still be recycled by the Liye family and reissued to the infected who will be newly infected for a year, but will soon die of illness.
Exchanging labor at the lowest cost is a bargain for factories that consume a lot of manpower.
The reason why Hurd was reluctant to agree to the relocation was that once the chemical plant was built here, the air pollution in the entire Kild District would have completely exceeded the standard, and he would have lived to be 70 years old, so that he would have returned to the West within five years.
