The Nonoa Gold Mine has existed for 1,300 years. At its peak in history, the population reached 3 million! It was only a few major disasters that drastically reduced the population of the dwarves, and they were almost wiped out several times, but in the end they managed to survive. Although today, the population is only eight or nine million, and the Nonoa Gold Mine is no longer as glorious as it once was, the traces of history are indelible.
The dwarf's broken ship stumbled over. The huge hole with a diameter of 100 meters was the entrance to the mine. When it passed through a passage that was inclined downward and was 20,000 to 30,000 meters long, a strong magnetic field captured the spacecraft and guided the spacecraft forward, automatically. Landed on a platform made of black magnetic metal.
The dwarf opened the hatch.
"This is the upper level of the Nonoa gold mine, and it is also where the Black Hammer tribe lives!"
Dwarves are similar to cavemen in that they do not like to live on the surface and prefer to live in caves. Of course, as a lower-class race, cavemen are only qualified to live in ordinary caves, but dwarves can choose magic mines with extremely rich ore yields.
The upper level of the Nonoa gold mine is located 8,000 meters below the surface and is located on solid rock formations. The mine is very vast, no less than a medium-sized human city.
Zhang Mu didn't feel like he had entered the underground world, because it was vast and empty in all directions. When he looked up, the sky was completely black, with faint flashes of light visible, no different from the stars in the night sky. Not far away is the dug spiritual vein, giving birth to a spiritual field where tobacco leaves and fruits for wine making are grown.
The breeze blows, the pavement is clear, and there is no stuffiness or discomfort that is expected in the underground world.
Du Rongrong was a little surprised at first and said uncertainly: "Uncle dwarf, are we really underground?"
Master Bronzebeard was very satisfied with Du Rongrong's expression and laughed loudly and said: "Of course, this is Nonoya Gold, the great dwarf mine!"
"Why are there stars in the sky?"
"Those are some luminous crystals scattered on the top rock. Because the distance is so high, they look like stars of all sizes at first glance."
"Why is there wind here?"
"Because the dwarves placed wind-blown stones everywhere to stimulate the power of the wind-blown stones, thereby creating a convection effect."
"Then why are there rivers and lakes?"
Du Rongrong's eyes widened and she pointed at a fast river and a large lake in front of her and shouted.
"That is to stimulate the wave crystals and release the water element, thereby forming a water flow. At the end of the river, there is a water source system composed of a large number of wave crystals. Under the lake, there are also a large number of wave crystals hidden to maintain it." Master Bronzebeard was still not finished, and added Bragging: "Recently, the dwarves are doing research on controlling the power of the wave crystal to weaken the output of water elements. Trace amounts of water elements diffuse in the air. When it reaches a certain concentration, rain will form!"
Zhang Mu asked: "This place is located deep underground. The space is very huge. The surrounding environment will definitely put huge pressure on the mine. It is almost a miracle that it can survive the collapse. So how can it withstand earthquakes and the erosion of time?"
Master Bronzebeard was very happy to answer the question about the body temperature of the human race, because in his opinion, this was an opportunity to show off the dwarves' abilities. "The Nonoa Gold Mine has been continuously maintained and improved by countless generations of dwarves. As for earthquakes, we don't have to worry about them. Earth-based crystals are buried in every corner, and they will absorb the energy generated by the movement of the earth. If the energy generated by the movement of the earth is sucked away, then there will be no threat of earthquakes!"
Different races have different abilities. Any race that continues to pass on after thousands of years must have its own way of survival or something extraordinary.
The Black Hammer tribe got the news, and the dwarves drove several vehicles to meet them.
The outside of the car looks like a combination of a forklift and a truck. It is very old and has been used for at least ten years.
Dwarves are not good at making their own machines, so they bought them from merchants at a high price.
There are some commercial organizations on the mainland, such as the black market and the mysterious business alliance, that have had intermittent contact with the Nonoa gold mine. The dwarves sold a lot of equipment and weapons through relevant channels, but the prices were not high. These cars were purchased at 10 times their own value. The dwarves had not had contact with the outside world for a long time. The cars were badly damaged, so they could make do with them without buying new equipment.
There are many stone pillars in the Nonoa gold mine. They are load-bearing pillars left behind by the dwarves when they dug the mine. They are as thick as a building and nearly a thousand meters high. They are connected from the ground to the top. The stone pillars are black with a layer of metallic luster on the surface. The dwarves It is very unique to have crystal stones embedded on it and unique murals carved out.
The Black Hammers have arrived.
As the center of the upper level of the mine, this is the living area of the dwarves. From a high altitude, it looks like a circle, dotted with unique stone houses.
"The patriarch is back!"
The dwarves came out to greet him.
Whether it was an old dwarf or a young dwarf, they all had strong muscles, red or brown hair and beards, and rough and loud voices. Zhang Mu couldn't even tell the difference between men and women. Although dwarves have a hot temper, they are one of the most united races in the world. There is almost no intra-clan struggle and they are all straightforward and forthright.
"What are these guys?" A strong dwarf pointed at the humans and shouted, "Is this the food the patriarch brought back?"
Du Rongrong shouted: "Bah, a dog can't spit out ivory, you are the food!"
The strong dwarf laughed heartily.
Leng Yun breathed a sigh of relief, dwarves liked a bold way of communication. Du Rongrong was unruly and could not speak clearly, but sometimes she could win the favor of the vulgar and straightforward dwarves.
"No foreign friends have visited the Nonoa Gold Mine for 25 years!" Master Bronzebeard stood up and shouted loudly: "This is a friend from the human race. Because he admires the forging art of the dwarves, he came to visit the Nonoa Gold Mine! They will stay in Emerald City for a few days, and we cannot be compared to the tentacled people of Emerald City!" As he spoke, Bronzebeard stood up tall, raised his hands and shouted: "Show the enthusiasm of the dwarves!"
"Understood!"
“BBQ and cold beer!”
"Have a big feast today!"
“…”
The thunderous voice of the dwarf is a bit unbearable for humans, but the enthusiasm of the dwarf is indeed better than that of the green spirit!
Every household in the Black Hammer tribe has a well, and the wellhead is held down by a stone plate weighing several thousand kilograms.
Bronzebeard introduced: "This is the Well of Fire Forging!"
"Is there no water in the well?"
"Of course there is no water, but there is the best flame!" Bronzebeard said, calling a dwarf next to him, "Three stones, open the fire well and let humans see it for a long time!"
"good!"
A young dwarf removed the manhole cover, and the three of them heard a violent eruption. A tongue of fire rose into the sky, more than ten meters high, and lasted for several seconds before gradually falling back into the wellhead. The three of them came to the edge of the well. There was not a drop of water in the well, and it was filled with raging and rolling flames.
This is the well used by the dwarves to smelt raw ore and extract impurities. The well is not deep and has the ability to store the fire element and ensure that the fire attribute power does not dissipate. When the dwarf throws the fire crystal into the well, the energy is released and automatically stays in the well. When the dwarf needs to use it, he can just open the manhole cover to make fire.
"This is nothing!"
"There is a well of earthly flames in the middle!"
"Earth inflammation?"
Bronzebeard explained: "This is an even more magical well. Because it is built on an extremely precious ground crack, it is connected to the infinitely powerful earth fire. Because the earth fire is violent, it cannot be opened easily unless it is used for tempering or Forge dark gold weapons!”
Zhang Mu secretly thought that the Ice River Sword, after being refined by the earth fire, would definitely destroy the seal left by the Frost Troll King Vaughn!
The dwarf prepares a barbecue.
Bronzebeard took the three people on an elevator and quickly dropped more than a thousand meters to the middle level of the Nonoya gold mine. The middle level of the mine was not as comfortable as the upper level and was extremely hot. The environment in the pit was rough, with gravel and mined materials everywhere. Mark of.
"The excavation of the middle level of the mine ended 200 years ago, and all the valuable ores were dug out. If the population of dwarves reaches a certain number, we plan to turn the middle level into a residential area!"
Zhang Mu looked at the mine that was riddled with holes and devastation, and suddenly understood the thoughts of the Heir Crystal people. The dwarves lived parasitically on the mineral veins, and their excavation was destructive to the mineral veins. A magic mineral vein is similar to a spiritual vein. The magic mineral vein will not die. As long as it exists for one day, it will affect nearby materials and synthesize related ores or crystals.
The efficient mining of the dwarves made it impossible to maintain the mineral vein, and eventually it collapsed and ceased to exist.
Du Rongrong said: "Let's go to the next floor and have a look!"
"No!" Bronzebeard refused, "The lower level of Nonoya Gold is an excavation area. There has been a problem recently. It would be dangerous to go down and visit..."
“Can mining also cause problems?”
"Of course! It is very dangerous if you dig up energy substances or random creatures. Sometimes you will also dig up ruins and remains... In short, mining is not that easy! If you don't do it right, you will die!"
"it's a pity."
"Although you can't go to the lower level, you will be more interested in some places on the middle level!"
"Where?"
"There is no excavation value here and no one can live here, so it is used by the dwarves as a warehouse. The weapons and ore reserves made by the dwarves are all in the middle layer. I will open a few to open your eyes!"
Bronzebeard came to a large cave, took out a crystal stone from his arms, and stuffed it into the hole in the rock wall. A burst of light came out from inside, and a two-meter-high hole appeared in the rock wall. After the passage, a huge space appears in front of you.
Zhang Mu couldn't believe the scene in front of him.
This is a hill made of hundreds of thousands of ores and crystals!
All kinds of ores, crystals, spar... are all dazzling and sparkling, depicting a shocking scene.
There is a saying in the mainland: the mines of dwarves, the dragon's lair, and the palace of titans. The meaning of this sentence is very simple. These places are all places of treasure. The dwarf mine is the lowest level, followed by the dragon's lair, and finally the titan's palace.
The giant dragons are all saint-level existences and cannot be contacted by humans.
Titan is on the same level as Taizu Shenlong.
As for the dwarf's mine, it is now officially in front of you.
"The value of this treasure house is probably higher than the Ice King's treasure!"
"The dwarves have 6 storage warehouses, plus 1 storage warehouse for storing works!" Bronzebeard slapped the armor, "This is the foundation of the Nonoa Gold Mine!"
"sharp!"
Bronzebeard pointed to a corner next to him and said boldly and generously: "The pile of spar there is not of high value, and the Green Spirit Tribe doesn't like it, so it won't be of much use if you keep it. If you like it, just take it as long as you can. !”
