In the valley mine, an iron ore the size of a palm was chiseled from the rock wall, fell to the ground, and made a crisp sound.
Sweating profusely, Xia Hong first put down the sheep horn chisel in his hand, then picked up the iron ore on the ground, his face full of exhaustion.
"Fifty pounds, five units, coal is running out, iron too, hunting must be paused, time must be allocated specifically for mining."

Xia Hong sighed. This past month, he allocated a third of his time specifically for mining coal and iron, yet it's still not keeping up with the consumption rate.
Currently, all the camp's iron and coal are almost exclusively used for preparing materials for a soon-to-be-built wooden house and making essential tools.
Even so, it's still not sufficient.
