Chapter 307 Shen Shuli has gained another powerful trump card for survival
Shen Shuli originally planned to store this barren mountain in a warehouse so that it could be easily used to fill in pits later.
But now.
She unexpectedly encountered an aluminum mine, so she had no choice but to use it to upgrade her space!
The space is about to be upgraded to level ten.
Shen Shuli really wanted to know.
Is level 10 the upper limit of space?
Anyway, this mountain is huge.
After upgrading the space, there will still be a lot of aluminum ore to store, so it certainly won't go to waste.
Mu Wanjun, Xiao Yuxuan, and Xie Chengyuan were also taken aback.
An aluminum ore deposit has been discovered here!
Xie Chengyuan was puzzled as to why Mu Wanjun and Xiao Yuxuan reacted so strongly.
In his mind, he couldn't even imagine what use aluminum ore could have.
in this era.
No one has yet discovered aluminum ore or used aluminum as a metallic material.
Therefore, Xie Chengyuan had no idea what aluminum ore was or what it could be used for.
He looked at Mu Wanjun and Xiao Yuxuan with a puzzled expression.
The longer he spent with them, the more he felt a strange sense of unease about them.
It's as if they're the only ones from the same world, and everyone else can instantly understand what they're saying.
But he was completely bewildered, like a complete novice who knew nothing.
Especially Mu Wanjun and Xiao Yuxuan.
They were all people Xie Chengyuan already knew.
I have a relatively good understanding of their personalities.
Yet these people of such high status were among the first to get so close to the Su family!
Mu Wanjun and Xiao Yuxuan somehow found out about Su Yunhai's secret!
According to what he knows.
Mu Wanjun and Shen Shuli had known each other for a long time.
However, they only became truly close after the Su family fled to the capital during the famine.
And Prince Xuan, Xiao Yuxuan.
The Su family and Prince Xuan first met in Yucheng!
Among them, he had known the Su family the least!
Why would the Su family so easily expose their secret to Prince Xuan?
Prince Xuan is a member of the royal family!
Furthermore, he is a cousin of the current emperor, Xiao Yuqiang!
The Su family is so trusting of Xiao Yuxuan!
Why do Su Yunhai and Shen Shuli trust them so much?
And yet, I was the last person to know?
There must be some other secret he doesn't know about!
These thoughts flashed through Xie Chengyuan's mind at that moment.
But he couldn't find a reasonable explanation for this strange phenomenon.
Such as now.
Aluminum ore had never existed in his world.
But why did Mu Wanjun and Xiao Yuxuan seem to know so much about it as soon as Shen Shuli mentioned it?
"Prince Xuan, Princess, what exactly is this aluminum ore?" Xie Chengyuan couldn't help but ask.
Xiao Yuxuan immediately explained to Xie Chengyuan.
"Aluminum is a metallic ore that is more precious than iron ore and much lighter than iron."
"Take our helicopter for example, it needs to be made of aluminum. If we use aluminum to make a carriage, it will be not only lighter but also stronger than a wooden one."
"It can also be used to make aluminum pots, aluminum spoons and other kitchen utensils, which are much lighter and more economical than iron pots of the same size."
"But the aluminum manufacturing process is more complex; without core technologies, it's impossible to refine bauxite..."
At this point, Xiao Yuxuan realized that he had said too much and had made a slip of the tongue.
Because he almost forgot who he was!
At that time, aluminum ore probably hadn't yet appeared, nor was it used in daily life.
He said so much in front of Xie Chengyuan, he's bound to give himself away!
He glanced at Xie Chengyuan furtively.
really.
Xie Chengyuan was looking at him with a suspicious gaze!
Finished!
This kid noticed something was wrong!
Mu Wanjun also realized what was going on and, worried that Xie Chengyuan would press for details, quickly stepped forward to change the subject.
"You really are something else. You can remember all sorts of strange and unusual things my godfather tells you. You have such a good memory."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuxuan quickly seized the opportunity to explain, "Of course, Uncle Su has a heavenly book bestowed by an immortal. He knows everything about astronomy and geography. I love to chat with Uncle Su and listen to his fantastical tales whenever I have free time."
After speaking, Xiao Yuxuan secretly observed Xie Chengyuan's expression.
Xie Chengyuan never expected things to turn out this way.
It turns out they knew so much from Uncle Su!
Uncle Su was enlightened by an immortal, who not only bestowed upon him a celestial artifact but also a heavenly book!
It seems quite reasonable?
"I see." That was the only way Xie Chengyuan could convince himself.
Otherwise, he simply couldn't find a reasonable explanation for these oddities.
They finally managed to fool them.
Xiao Yuxuan then let go.
In any case, he could forcefully pin the blame on Uncle Su for anything that was unreasonable, and then everything would become reasonable.
Anyway, the conversation has already started.
Xiao Yuxuan didn't want to keep everything from Xie Chengyuan, her good teammate.
I then took the initiative to tell him a lot about the functions and uses of aluminum ore.
But overall.
This material is already a very mature and common material in the world where immortals live.
However, if they wanted to use aluminum in their world, the difficulty would be a hundred times greater than that of steelmaking!
Xie Chengyuan was almost dumbfounded.
He never imagined that refining a small aluminum ore into the required metallic aluminum would be so complicated and cumbersome!
And it's something that current technology can't do!
I feel incredibly regretful!
Shen Shuli had no idea what Xie Chengyuan and the other two were discussing in the helicopter.
She was incredibly motivated to move mountains.
This took a full ten days.
The space has only reached level ten!
But Shen Shuli was surprised to discover.
The space itself has undergone a tremendous change!
When the space reaches level nine, the rewards will still be given according to the previous pattern.
But now that I've reached level ten, it's ten times the power of level nine!
The daily output of Lingquan water has increased from 20 liters to 200 liters!
The area of Lingtian has been expanded from 100 mu to 1000 mu!
The warehouse was originally only the size of ten football fields, or about three thousand acres.
Now it has increased tenfold, reaching a full 30,000 mu!
Even the mountain range that was originally 6,000 mu has now expanded to 60,000 mu!
And there's also a thousand-acre aluminum mine!
This change shocked Shen Shuli so much that she couldn't come to her senses for a long time!
For Shen Shuli, this feeling was no less than the feeling of suddenly becoming rich overnight, as if she had just gained a spatial ability.
In order to upgrade the space.
Shen Shuli meticulously searched through the nearby, desolate mountains, collecting almost all the aluminum-bearing mountain ranges into her spatial dimension until the dimension was upgraded.
The amount of waste soil collected in the warehouse is sufficient.
Shen Shuli then returned to the helicopter, and the four of them went directly back to the Qing Grant Mansion to fill the pit.
But Shen Shuli did not regain her previous appearance as Dashan.
They only filled in the flat ground and then stopped filling it in.
They also scattered many seeds and diluted the spiritual spring water at the newly started site to restore the ecosystem.
Finished with this.
The four men sat in the helicopter, discussing their next mission.
Shen Shuli asked the three of them, "Have you thought it through? Do you want to take action against the Northern Barbarian army and drive them out?"
Mu Wanjun expressed her thoughts.
“I don’t think it’s necessary to go through all that trouble. Even if we can drive the Northern Barbarians away temporarily, we will have to leave sooner or later. The Northern Barbarians may come back again soon and will definitely treat the people here with even more brutal methods.”
Xiao Yuxuan agreed with Mu Wanjun's idea, saying, "Ajun is right. Instead of thinking about how to drive the northern barbarians away, we should think about how to make the people here live better."
Xie Chengyuan knew that what the two said made sense, but he still felt aggrieved and did not want to let the Northern Barbarians go so easily!
But he couldn't think of a better way. He thought for a moment and looked at Shen Shuli and said.
"How about we make a trip to the Northern Barbarians' stronghold? It's all grassland there. I've heard the Northern Barbarians are skilled at raising horses, cattle, and sheep. We can't attack them directly, but we could target their supplies instead."
"It seems that the Northern Barbarian army has few troops stationed in their stronghold, which is a time when their defenses are weak."
"If we can make a bigger commotion, we might be able to lure these northern barbarian troops away, and they might even temporarily abandon the cities of Dayong to defend their home base."
Shen Shuli was surprised that Xie Chengyuan was so clever, able to come up with such a brilliant idea that killed two birds with one stone!
"What a brilliant plan! No wonder General Xie went to such lengths to hide this precious gem. Few people can match his intellect!" Shen Shuli praised excitedly.
Xie Chengyuan was surprised by Shen Shuli's praise, and the fact that two other pairs of bright eyes were staring at him made his cheeks turn red.
"Ahem, the main reason this plan was completed is because you have a good immortal artifact; otherwise, it would have been impossible." Xie Chengyuan instead attributed the credit to Shen Shuli.
Shen Shuli enjoyed being complimented and gave Xie Chengyuan a look that said, "You little rascal, you know what's good for you."
Mu Wanjun exclaimed, "This is indeed a good idea. Let's get started right away."
Xiao Yuxuan also said slyly, "Alright, let's do it this way. We'd better take all the Northern Barbarians' supplies and see how they survive this extreme cold disaster!"
The weather that the northern barbarians dislike the most is definitely the bitter cold of winter!
A harsh winter means no food source, and cattle and horses have no rations.
And this extreme cold disaster will last for a year!
This was an absolute blow to the northern barbarians living in the north!
This is also why the Northern Barbarians were so eager to occupy the border cities of the northern part of the Dayong Kingdom.
Because their living conditions were so poor, they had to resort to robbery to survive.
Mu Wanjun was still piloting the helicopter.
Shen Shuli has expended a lot of mental energy these past few days and needs to recuperate.
They then folded up most of the seats at the rear of the cabin, took out warm and thick blankets, and lay down to rest.
There was also a curtain hanging up; once the curtain was drawn, there was a separate little space behind it, so there was no need to worry about feeling awkward with two men in the room.
Xiao Yuxuan sat in the passenger seat, chatting with Mu Wanjun from time to time, while also reinforcing his helicopter piloting skills.
Xie Chengyuan also sat in the chair at the front to rest.
Shen Shuli couldn't sleep for a while, her consciousness immersed in the busy space.
This space upgrade directly granted 100 acres of spirit fields.
Shen Shuli needs to plant the crops quickly so they don't go to waste.
This time, Shen Shuli directly took out fifty acres of spiritual land connected to the ranch, continued to plant pasture, and prepared to raise horses, cattle and sheep in large quantities.
Even if the northern barbarians can no longer raise large numbers of cattle, sheep, and horses, the total number must still be considerable.
Shen Shuli needs to quickly encourage the growth of pasture grass for future use.
To avoid running out of food for the livestock, she couldn't bear to feed them only with spiritual fruits and vegetables.
