Chapter 27 (2/2)

”Yes, I can assure you that. Well, one thing needs to be said is that although most iron ores are buried under the ground, there is an obvious difference in places with iron ores, that is, as long as there are iron ores under the ground, the trees and plants will not grow too luxuriant. If the iron ores are buried very shallow, there will even be no grass. This is very helpful for looking for iron ore

Li Lei definitely nodded, ”I remember, I will tell the people.”

The stone bear is not worried about whether the people can find kaolin, limestone and iron ore. The whole Appalachian Mountain range is said to be a treasure mountain. According to the calculation of later generations, this mountain range, which does not look high now, was probably as high as the Rocky Mountains 480 million years ago, but after hundreds of millions of years of weathering, this mountain range has been flattened a lot.

But even so, this folded mountain range, which runs through the east coast of North America, has a length of more than 3000 kilometers from north to South and an average width of more than 400 kilometers, and contains a huge amount of mineral resources. Not to mention coal. The Appalachian coalfield in the north of the Appalachian Mountains is the largest coalfield area in the world. It contains enough coal for hundreds of years in the world.

There is also iron ore, which can be mined in this mountain range. Even in this mountain range, there are rich precious metal mineral resources such as gold and silver. As for limestone, marble, kaolin and other non-metallic minerals, in this mountain range is everywhere.

Why is the United States so competitive? One of the big reasons is because of these huge mineral resources in the Appalachian Mountains. Especially in the vicinity of the Great Lakes region, it has become a steel manufacturing base of the United States, which is the fundamental reason why the United States can rise rapidly in the future.

Although the gaoshu tribe is located near Dawu Mountain, which is close to the south of the Appalachian Mountains, and its mineral resources are not as rich as those in the north of the mountains, for the small gaoshu tribe and even the whole East Cherokee people, these mineral resources are enormous.

In terms of the current size of the gaoshu tribe, we only need to find a small iron ore and coal mine near Dawu Mountain, which is enough for the gaoshu tribe to use for hundreds of years.

Leader Li Lei is a very active leader. Even though he is critically ill, he still has a vigorous style in doing things.

It was in the afternoon when Shi Xiong told Li Lei about these things, but in the evening, Li Lei sent someone to invite Shi Xiong to his wooden house.

When Shi Xiong entered the wooden house, he found that in addition to leader Li Lei and the two men who took care of him, there were three other people. Shi Xiong knew all of them, but he couldn't name them. After all, it was too short for him to come to gaoshu tribe.

The three men had an old man, a middle-aged child and a boy of thirteen or fourteen.

The old man is almost forty years old, which is considered a long life among the North American Indians. His name is ”grey moose”; The man was in his twenties, and his name was ”big spear”; As for that young man, he also has his own clan. His name is ”sharp stone”.
