It's been two months since we started construction on the mine and it was finished around a month ago. I had made some hand held drills with the help of VEGA and given them to some miners. I made them from the resources I gained from the Goblins back then. The copper coins I had were melted down and made into copper wires and the ores were mostly Iron so no problems there.
I was also able to manufacture some industrial printers for the forge as well. To create the circuit boards I needed gold which I had from the gold coins. I was also able to use a strange sap from the red trees that when mixed with other easy to find materials becomes a hard plastic. So far I have seven industrial printers including my own. The rest are in the Forge building near the mines.
The soldiers have long cleared a way from the town to the mines and are now scouting the areas for any threats. Ever since the mining has started we were able to find Iron, Gold, Silver, Lead, And an unknown metal that is bluish silver in color. I've had VEGA analysing it.
" So VEGA, what do we got?"
[ The mineral is very strong and durable but also light. It is also highly conductive with Mana.]
" What can we use it for"
[ Recommended use for circuitry in weapons and armor as well as a mana battery.]
" Maybe but what should we call it."
[ I believe there is already a name for it. It is named by the High Elves in the Eilfis Kingdom and is regarded as their most precious resource Mithril.]
" Mark all Mithril deposits that you can on the map."
A holographic map of the mountain appears and the only deposit appears to be the one that we already discovered and even though it is big, it is still a singular deposit.
" Is there any way to synthesize Mithril?"
[ Perhaps but we have a lack of hardware to accomplish this.]
" What do we need?"
[ You would need to upgrade the Fortress of Doom to tier 3]
I look at the store and highlight the Fortress upgrade. The next upgrade requires 200,000 points wich means I am unable to acquire the ability to synthesize materials until then.
I then leave to go look at the progress of the town. The plan is to split the town into two districts. The Agriculture district will be in the north half while the Residential district will be in the second half amd the entire town will be surrounded by a wall with mounted weaponry. Of course the districts are only temporary as we need to ensure that if we are attacked then we won't lose any of our resources. Once we expand then we'll change how the districts are organized.
The wall is being constructed with a mix of Iron and Concrete to ensure its almost indestructible in this age.
