After Luo Yong left the palace, he went to the Military and Political Department and the Logistics Department that day.

After quickly mobilizing and preparing food and grass.

The Xuanjia Army officially set off three days later.

Luo Ji sent out troops to encircle and suppress the wood elves because the forces from all sides were not concentrated in one place.

Therefore, the gathering point of all armies was set directly at Storm City on the southern border.

Among them, the closest elf troops were naturally the first to assemble.

The orc troops located farthest away are still on their way to Storm City.

It is worth mentioning that this unit of Swift Wolf warriors is personally led by the wolf clan leader Li Ke.

After being silent for so long, Li Ke obviously wants to make some serious contributions.

Time passes day by day.

The mining field established in the Bitter Cold Land officially started mining ores at the beginning of the year.

Now, the first batch of ore collected has been sent back to the capital.

The craftsmen in the forging department are busy extracting minerals from the ore.

The goblin mineralogists in the Mineral Research Institute are also studying these ores day and night.

Of course, Luo Ji was not idle during this period of time.

Just to check information, he went online and offline several times.

At this moment, he was standing in the blacksmithing department, wiping the sweat from his forehead while conducting experiments and certification on the extracted ores.

The whole expression looked serious and serious.

After all, this batch is related to his steel-making skills!

The boss stared with wide eyes, after carefully confirming several times.

Luo Ji's face showed a hint of joy.

"That's right, that's right! This reaction is manganese!"

He neatly ticked the list in his hand.

At this point, all the ores needed for steelmaking in his civilization of all realms have been prepared!

Now he just needs to hoard these ores in large quantities.

At that time, large-scale steelmaking can begin.

However, hoarding ore is not as easy as it sounds.

After all, several of these ores are only found in the Bitter Cold Land.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of manpower and material resources and took the risk to build a mining farm there.

The price is that more troops have to be deployed to ensure the safety of the mining site.

The troops pressing down on the bitter cold land were basically beyond his ability to move.

Because once you move, the mining camps and frontline camps will be empty of troops and in danger.

When the time comes, the orcs from the Bitter Cold Land attack and smash the frontline camps and mining sites to pieces, will all his time and efforts be in vain?

Let’s get back to the point.

Transport ore back from the mining field in the bitter cold land.

It can be said that it is a long way.

You still have to cross the mountains and forests of the North before you can enter the Central Plains.

This transportation efficiency can be imagined.

But there was nothing he could do, the ore was there, and there was nothing he could do.

In this way, if you want to make a large amount of steel, the "quantity" cannot be increased in a short period of time.

However, this was not enough to dampen Luo Ji's passion for steelmaking.

If we say, from bronze to black iron, it is a milestone in the development of mankind's cold weapon era.

So from black iron to steel alloy, that is another milestone!

There is no doubt how important it is!

Directly handed over the formula for gold-level steelmaking to the head of the blacksmithing department.

Let him follow this recipe and start smelting steel.

Although the current ore reserves are not enough.

But it should be more than enough for a smelting experiment.

First, successfully smelt the steel.

After letting the craftsmen have experience.

At that time, as soon as the ore arrives, steelmaking can begin directly.

This is undoubtedly a way to improve efficiency and save time.

At the same time, on the other side, in the mountains and forests of the Northland.

The construction project of the mountain city is also in progress.

The foundation of this mountain city was laid last year.

Now, a rough outline has been drawn up.

Of course, it's obviously still early for completion.

As time goes.

People's concept of cities is also constantly changing.

In other words, the requirements are getting higher and higher.

This mountain city serves as an important hub between the northern border of civilization and the bitter cold land.

Of course Luo Ji couldn't just build a pitiful little city.

The design blueprint that was planned at the beginning was a big city no less big than Tiebei City, Qingshui City and Gaoling City!

It is precisely because of such high requirements.

Therefore, it is destined that this mountain city cannot be completed in a short time.

Up and down the mountain, workers were sweating profusely under the sun.

The heavy workload leaves them with little time to rest.

However, they did not feel dissatisfied because of this.

Because in all civilizations, high-intensity labor often also represents high income.

At this point, the civilizations of all worlds are very fair.

How much you do, how much you get, it's that simple.

As for those who want to eat and drink for free or be lazy and slippery.

Naturally, let them just pack up and get out.

The generous income allows workers to have enough to eat and drink every day, and at the same time, they can also have money to send their children to school.

In this era, such a life can be called happy and complete.

Under this premise, it would be really bad for them if they lose their job.

The days continue to pass.

Civilized people from all over the world, after a busy spring plowing day.

Everyone’s conversation turned to the annual ‘Harvest Day’ celebration!

It is no exaggeration to say that many people have been looking forward to it several months ago.

Among them, the one that gets the most discussion is obviously the opera performance performed by Der Spiegel Opera Company once a year, which is like a ‘new year’s gift’.

However, at this moment, I feel the expectations of people everywhere.

The members of the Der Spiegel Opera Troupe are under great pressure.

There is no other reason than that the opera scripts in previous years were all written by His Majesty the Emperor.

But this year, the opera troupe hired its own scriptwriter to write it.

After rehearsing again and again.

The members of the troupe looked nervously at the leader of their opera troupe.

"Captain, is it really okay?"
