Chapter 54: Coal Furnace in the Honeycomb

Zhuang Yu ran up and reached out to touch the stone wall opened by the Rainbow Peacock.

The dark coal mine, with decent quality, absolutely not mistaken. A smile couldn't help but appear on his face. Who said there was no firewood to burn in Crimson Great City?

In addition to firewood, there were actually many other things that could be used as fuel, it's just that others didn't know.

However, burning coal involves a problem: pollution.

Although this world's forest area is many times larger than Earth's, and its self-regulation ability is many times greater, burning coal still causes pollution.

Zhuang Yu thought for a moment. He wouldn't sell the coal outside, but rather control its use within Crimson Great City. Moreover, the heat produced by burning a pound of coal should be equivalent to burning many pounds of firewood. Who causes more pollution, he couldn't say for sure, so he could only try to control it as much as possible.

On Earth, it was also because humans discovered coal as a new energy source that there was a huge advancement in the entire era. This was an important turning point in human history, and now Crimson Great City urgently needed fuel too.

Little Mushroom saw Zhuang Yu actually using his hand to touch these black stones and kept pulling him. They were the best little ones, how could they get their hands dirty?

The Han and Ba Brothers also walked up. "Prince, is this what you were looking for?"

Zhuang Yu nodded.

The Han and Ba Brothers were somewhat puzzled. Didn't the Prince say that what he was looking for could solve the problem of Crimson Great City not having firewood to burn? How could it be some black stones?

Zhuang Yu said, "After we go back, let people come and mine these coal mines. With the amount of coal mines here, it will be difficult for Crimson Great City to lack firewood."

The Han and Ba Brothers opened their mouths. Could these stones also be used as firewood?

Stones can burn? If someone else said so, they would slap them to death, but if the Prince said so, they both squatted down and started to study.

Two big men, facing a black stone, gesturing excitedly with their hands, looked quite interesting.

Not only were the Han and Ba Brothers extremely surprised, but even Shao Hao was surprised as he looked at a piece of coal mine.

Can stones be used as firewood? Zhuang Yu walked over and smiled, "This is the secret of our Crimson Great City. Once you know, I'll have to lock you up forever and every day..."

Shao Hao: "..."

Why does it feel like there's a flash in Yu's eyes, as if he's still thinking about something exciting?

Shao Hao said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone, not even the people from White Great City."

Zhuang Yu was just joking. Shao Hao was sometimes very serious, but he believed that Shao Hao could keep a secret. Like when he saw the entire production process of pottery, he still sought his consent before telling White Great City.

Such a serious person can sometimes be annoying, but sometimes also cute.

After staying for a while, they couldn't wait to return. Zhuang Yu wanted people to dig up the coal mines as soon as possible.

This location was about fifteen days away from Crimson Great City, similar to the border from Crimson Great City to White Great City.

At this time, Crimson Great City's caravans, Jiao Hong and Jiao Du, were completely active in the border area of the three forces these days. Their caravan recently had a great reputation.
