This time Xu Yi and chairman Cruise came to the Falling Rain Valley together, naturally it was for the development of the Falling Rain Valley.
According to Xu Yi's plan, the Falling Rain Valley was divided into an industrial area and a residential area.
The first phase of the industrial area needed to build up to 13 factories. As for the residential area, other than the 1000 Dwarven houses that had already been completed, there were still 3000 houses to be built.
Of course, these 3000 houses weren't all for the Dwarves. It also included the human workers that would come to the Falling Rain Valley to work.
Additionally, the residential area couldn't only have houses. There was also a commercial area that would make life easier for the workers.
To put it simply, Xu Yi planned for the Falling Rain Valley to be like a small town on Earth.
In order to perfect the plan, other than discussing with President Cruz, he also asked Count Samo to find a few city construction masters in Anvilmar City to do the planning.
However, these masters were limited to Sines, so there were a lot of conflicts with Xu Yi's idea.
For example, in the area of sewers, the masters planned to follow the current city planning of Sines. They planned to use open sewers to discharge the sewers to the Sandy River that flowed beside the Falling Rain Valley.
However, Xu Yi insisted on following the standards of Earth to build a complete sewers system. There couldn't be any sewers on the surface.
The masters couldn't understand this at all.
Firstly, the cost was too high. Secondly, they didn't think it was necessary.
However, when Xu Yi introduced the experience of using reinforced concrete to build the Sandy River's embankment to President Cruz, the masters understood that the cost wasn't as high as they thought. In the end, they reluctantly agreed with Xu Yi's idea.
So in the final Falling Rain Valley plan, it combined the characteristics of the cities on earth and the Sines Continent.
Although Xu Yi felt that it was neither fish nor fowl, it was limited by the current technology of Sines.
This time, President Cruz came again mainly to rearrange the construction of the roads in the Falling Rain Valley.
According to Xu Yi's plan, all the main roads in the Falling Rain Valley had to be paved with roads so that they could reach every corner.
Previously, President Cruz had already come up with a rough plan, but after Xu Yi discussed with the city construction masters, they made some changes to the overall roads. Therefore, President Cruz personally accompanied Xu Yi to the Falling Rain Valley to give instructions to Manager Riley.
After building a factory in the Stagg Family's territory, manager Riley was now in charge of the cooperation between the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce and the New Flyer. Not only was he familiar with Xu Yi, he was also very familiar with the dwarves of the Falling Rain Valley.
When President Cruz found him, he was talking and laughing with several dwarves, and their relationship seemed to be very good.
After taking him to the side to talk about work, president Cruz lowered his voice and asked, "How is your relationship with the dwarves here?"
As president Cruz's confidant, manager Riley naturally understood what he meant. After thinking about it, he slightly knit his brows, "My relationship ….. It's not bad and the dwarves aren't as hard to get along with as the rumours say.
But ….. President, I advise you to give up on hiring them. "
"Why?" President Cruz was stunned.
"Because I've found more and more that the dwarves are very stubborn and don't know how to be flexible.
Let's not talk about the dwarves of the Norma Tribe and the Angola Tribe, they only recognize Xu Yi.
No matter what I talk to them about, they will always thank Xu Yi for making their lives better. "
President Cruz was speechless for a bit before asking without giving up, "If the dwarves of the Norma Tribe and the Angola Tribe can't do it, aren't there other dwarven tribes?
Those dwarves aren't like the two dwarven tribes who have been in contact with Xu Yi for so long.
Could it be that they only recognize Xu Yi? "
"It's not that they only recognize Xu Yi, but they only believe in their own dwarven brothers, which is to say, they only believe in the dwarves of the Norma Tribe and the Angola Tribe.
In other words, they only believe in Xu Yi. "Manager Riley replied helplessly.
President Cruz turned his head and looked at the dwarves who were busy all over the Falling Rain Valley as if their energy would never run out. He then looked at Xu Yi in the distance and was silent for a while before letting out a long sigh.
"Sigh, this is what Xu Yi said, we must seize the opportunity.
Now that he has gained the dwarves' trust before any of us, I'm afraid it will be difficult for anyone else to be like him and have such a good relationship with the dwarves. "
Manager Riley hesitated for a bit before reminding in a low voice, "President, other than the dwarves, there are also the elves ….."
Chairman Cruise was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he suddenly spat on the ground.
"Pei!
That damned Xu Yi! "
Xu Yi in the distance naturally didn't think that President Cruz would actually curse him behind his back. His attention was now focused on the two iron balls in his hands.
After weighing them with both hands, Xu Yi found that the dark red iron ball in his left hand was a bit heavier than normal iron balls, while the dark black iron ball in his right hand was a bit lighter.
"These two are the number 29 and number 37 alloy steel that you told me about in your letter last time?" Xu Yi asked chief Siluka on the other side.
"Yes, this red one is 29, and the black one is 37." Chief Siluka pointed at the two iron balls and said.
"The 29 alloy has very good wear resistance. We tested this iron ball with 500 revolutions, and there wasn't even a scratch on the surface.
The 37 alloy has very high hardness. I had the strongest brother in the tribe use a big hammer to smash it with all his strength, and there wasn't even a scratch on it. "
"Oh?
In that case, these two were still very useful.
Have you recorded their data? "Xu Yi asked with interest.
"They've all been recorded. I guarantee that they can be made again at any time." Chief Siluka nodded.
"That's good."
Xu Yi smiled as he patted Chief Siluka's shoulder and said, "You have to keep experimenting with alloy steels. No matter what the conditions are, you have to try.
But after the steel mill is built, we have to adjust the production capacity. We can't completely produce silver leaf steel, but we have to start producing the 17 alloy I mentioned to you last time.
Also, we have to produce a portion of this 37 alloy. Let me think … … A set of armor needs about 15 kilograms, so 50,000 sets … … That's 750 tons.
Alright, to be on the safe side, let's produce a thousand tons within two months. "
"A hundred tons isn't much, but Chairman Xu, you suddenly want to produce so much armor. Is something going to happen in the Lampari Kingdom?" Chief Siluka asked, puzzled.
"Don't ask me, I don't know either." Xu Yi shook his head.
"But this is the order the kingdom's military gave us last time. I can only complete it, not refuse."
"The kingdom's military?"
Chief Siluka was even more puzzled. He glanced at Xu Yi, but didn't ask any more questions and only nodded in agreement.
Discussing the military would always make the atmosphere seem very heavy. Xu Yi thought for a bit before smiling and changing the topic. He began to ask Chief Siluka about the dwarves living in the new tribe.
Chief Siluka smiled and replied, "The environment here is much better than before. Our brothers are all very happy living here.
Our brothers from other tribes aren't even willing to leave after coming here. They all say that they want to live here for the rest of their lives. "
"It's good that everyone is satisfied.
Also, do you have any other requests?
Don't hesitate to mention them. I'll do anything I can for you. "Xu Yi said.
"Don't worry about it." Chief Siluka shook his head.
"We dwarves actually just want to live a stable life. We're happy as long as we can fill our stomachs and occasionally drink some wine. We don't need anything else.
Chairman Xu, you've already provided us with such a good environment. Most of our brothers are very satisfied. "
"Most?" Xu Yi asked in surprise.
"So you're saying that there are still some dwarven brothers who aren't satisfied?"
"This …" Chief Siluka laughed a little awkwardly, "Some of our brothers just aren't used to trusting humans.
They feel that you, Chairman Xu, must be scheming something for treating us dwarves so well. "
Xu Yi couldn't help but laugh, "Scheming?
What benefits do I get from scheming against you?
Chief Siluka, tell these dwarven brothers for me that I've taken a fancy to the value you dwarves have. I'm treating you so well because I want you to work hard for me.
As for anything else … He's really thinking too much. "
Chief Siluka scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "Actually, I've known you, Chairman Xu, for so long that I already know what kind of human you are.
It's just that some of our new brothers don't know yet.
It doesn't matter. After a while, they'll naturally believe you. "
"Alright, it doesn't matter if they believe me or not, as long as they're willing to work hard."
Xu Yi looked around and found that Chairman Cruz was still whispering something to Manager Riley in the distance. He lowered his voice and said to Chief Siluka seriously, "Recently, the demand for cement will greatly increase, so I hope you can discuss it with Chief Monto to build another cement factory and increase production as much as possible.
Also, remember to keep it a secret and don't let anyone else steal the cement formula. "
Chief Siluka was a little confused. Although Xu Yi had warned him to keep the cement formula a secret before, why was he so cautious this time?
This time, it was Xu Yi's turn to reveal an awkward smile.
"This … can't be helped, because I … don't have any money."
