章節 174: The Final Verdict

"The iron ore mine at Mount Damo is completely open-pit mining. Transportation is accessible as well. The biggest problem is its high iron content. It is too hard, making extraction very difficult from the beginning. By building a few large-scale solar furnaces, they can melt Mount Damo bit by bit. That will immediately increase the speed of extraction. The increment will depend solely on the size and the number of solar furnaces." Ren Baqian assured the people.

By this moment, no one could be bothered with examining the mirrors any longer. All attention was set on Ren Baqian as what he said had attracted all of their interests.

The lack of iron ore had always troubled Dayao. Even though they could purchase them from the Yun Nation and the Chen Nation, the amount was still too little. The merchants were also more interested in transporting goods that were small, light, and had a higher value, such as salt, fur, precious stones, cloth, and porcelain.
