I am a god in another world
Chapter 691 Biocement
"This has to start with the origin of Nimir Village. It used to be a logging village, and the surrounding hillsides were all covered with dense forests. However, half a century ago, the ancient trees here were cut down, and this place could only turn to a farming village. Because it is located upstream of Mashanbai City, the food and vegetables grown here are not worried about sales, so life is not difficult.
But the unscrupulous logging in the past angered nature and cursed the land. Sandification became increasingly serious, and the soil's ability to retain water was particularly poor. In order to solve this problem, the villagers dug a large number of canals and built a large ox-drawn water tower.
But before the water flowed into the fields, it all leaked out in the canal.
I heard that there is a creature called Explosive Crayfish in Pterosaur Lake. The shells that fall off during their growth can be dissolved into a glue-like viscous substance. After being integrated into the sand, it has very strong adhesion and is very strong after drying.
You see, this is the creature."
Harlanson pointed to the creature in a slightly smaller luminous fish tank.
Isn't this a crayfish?
Not only are the appearance and color similar, but the size is also similar. The only difference is that the two claws of this thing are bigger.
"Please allow me to interrupt. Do you have any crayfish here... Well, samples of the dissolved products of the shell of the exploding crayfish, or the solidified state is fine." Gavin's eyes were filled with excitement that he could not hide. He originally came just for this kind of glowing water, but he didn't expect to have an unexpected harvest.
"Yes, this is the shell of the exploding crayfish. As long as it is not dissolved in water, it can be preserved for several years. This is a viscous substance formed after being integrated into water. It has strong viscosity. After a little refining, it can be used to make supreme glue.
This is what it looks like after being mixed with sand and soil and solidified. Only a small bottle of this substance is needed to combine with several tons of sand and soil to form an excellent waterproof layer." Harlanson obviously played a leading role in the matter of Nimir Village.
Although his professional level is not high, his research spirit as a mage is qualified, and he has kept a complete set of samples.
Isn't this biological cement?
It's just that this cement is not gray, but dark red.
"Can I try it?" Gavin's interest was completely aroused.
He knew very well the role of cement in modernization construction, whether it was paving roads and bridges or building houses, it played a huge role.
Although it was more magical to use magic to build, turning fossils into mud was also another kind of magical cement.
But magic had the limitation of being difficult to popularize on a large scale. If it wanted to benefit the people and enter thousands of households, let alone ten or eight years, even if Gavin was given a century, he would not have the confidence to do it.
Having magic does not mean completely blocking the technology tree. For the lower-class people, many things are more practical.
Gavin originally wanted to wait for the right time to make cement. The technology of that thing was not particularly high, but it was more energy-consuming.
Who would have thought that before that, he would encounter biological cement first.
What needs to be determined now is how the effect of this biological cement compares with ordinary cement.
"Your Excellency can experiment at will. We have as much of this thing as you want in our Nimier Village." Harlanson was also curious about what the other party wanted to do. He was the first wizard who was interested in this kind of thing he had met.
"Thank you." Gavin first picked up a piece of sand-soil cement, which was more than two fingers thick. He tried to bend it, but it didn't move at all.
Then he took out the War Predator and hit it several times with different strengths using small and medium-sized hammers. Before he could use all his strength, it was broken.
It is not known whether this sand-soil cement is harder than cement, but it is definitely qualified as a building material.
"Can this material withstand the ravages of extreme weather such as exposure to the sun, wind, rain, snow and frost?" Gavin continued to ask Harlanson about the characteristics of this biological cement, which cannot be tested in a short time.
"I have never tried this kind of experiment." Harlanson was a little confused by Gavin's question. "I just often use this substance to solve the problem of canal leakage. However, from our experience of using canals over the years, it is durable in water and does not change due to severe cold or heat. As for being exposed to water outside, I cannot give you an accurate answer before I have tried it."
"I understand. Thank you very much for your cooperation, sir. Please continue to talk about the canal in Nimir Village." Even if the final experiment proves that this biological cement can only work in water, for Gavin, its value is huge.
Don't forget that there is an Asaba River waiting for him to manage in the valley. With this biological cement and magic, the management speed will be faster than you can imagine.
"Oh... OK, OK, where were we just now?" Harlanson's thoughts were obviously a little confused after being interrupted by Gavin. After thinking for a few minutes, he continued, "This method of managing the canal was very successful, and the water was smoothly diverted to the fields, but the good times did not last long. This incident brought a series of serious consequences.
This kind of exploding crayfish reproduces too fast and eats too much. They eat water plants, animal carcasses, and seedlings of other aquatic organisms. When they gather in groups, they will even attack fish that are much larger than them.
Most importantly, they attract electric eels that like to feed on them, that is them."
Harlanson pointed to the large fish tank in the center of his room. The aquatic creatures in it that looked like large loaches were electric eels that could discharge electricity in the water to attack.
"Are these electric eels the reason why the water in your village's canals can glow?" Gowther's mother frowned, "No, there are electric eels and crayfish in other places. Why haven't I heard that the water there can also glow?"
"When the electric eels first came, the canals in our village could not glow. Until we introduced a large number of Stark shrubs from outside to control the electric eels, this shrub is a great bait. All aquatic creatures like it, and electric eels are no exception. However, after they eat it, there are very serious side effects. Within seven days, they can't discharge electricity. Since then, our canals have begun to glow. It doesn't work in other places. It must be in the canals of our Nimier Village." Harlanson obviously has no sense of commercial confidentiality. He shared the secrets of Nimier Village completely, and his expression was full of pride that he couldn't hide.
At first, he brought in the exploding crayfish from Pterosaur Lake to manage the canal, and later he found the Stark bush to restrain the discharge of the electric eel. There were many coincidences in this, and if one of them was missing, it would not have been possible to achieve the current result.
"Everything is really three." Gavin sighed in his heart.
"What does everything mean?" Ms. Gowther obviously heard this term for the first time.
"A popular view in the outer plane is that the multiverse is composed of three cornerstones. As long as the three cycle cornerstones are gathered together, a unique magical effect will be generated. The glow of the canal here also conforms to the three cycles. The exploding crayfish creates a stable canal, the electric eel feeds on the exploding crayfish to generate electricity, and the Stark bush inhibits the spread of the electric eel's electricity. None of them can be missing." Gavin analyzed it carefully.
"My lord is knowledgeable, this is the case." The old wizard nodded repeatedly.
"After the water in the canal is put into the container, how long can it continue to glow?" Gavin asked.
"So far, the glowing water in the oldest container should be three years old, and there is no sign of dimming. I think it should be permanent. The electricity has been solidified into the water, just like a magic spell of permanence." The old wizard still gave a relatively conservative answer. This was due to the wizard's cautious nature.
"Permanent? Isn't that the same as the Eternal Flame?" Ms. Gowther exclaimed excitedly, "Aren't you guarding a gold mine now? As long as you put the water from the canal into glass bottles, even if you have fifty gold coins per bottle, there will be countless people scrambling for it, especially in Susal, after all, the Eternal Flame is so widely used there, and the recognition of this kind of smokeless lighting is relatively high. Metropolises like the City of Glory also have huge demand for it, after all, this kind of thing is permanent and there is no hidden danger of fire.
There is also the shape, the shape of the bottle alone is too simple, it would be best to be able to make all kinds of animals and decorations, if you can make human statues, it would be even more perfect, then you can create tailor-made services for those princes and nobles, and integrate their own glass statues with lighting.
Such a work must start with a few hundred gold coins."
Mother Gowther is not lacking in business acumen, but sometimes she is restricted by the existing thinking mode.
Gavin could see the commercial value of Nimir Village at a glance. It was purely because he had seen thousands of houses with bright lights in another world. When he saw a few words about this in Varro's Travels, he immediately thought about it.
Although the Eternal Flame can achieve the same effect, for most people, its cost is too high, far beyond the acceptable range of ordinary people.
The glassware lighting in Nimir Village will be directly reduced.
Its main production cost will be the breeding of explosive crayfish and electric eels, the purchase of glass containers, and transportation costs. Putting aside the relatively large floating transportation costs, the rest is converted into one gold coin. When it is transported to the market, even if it is a dozen or even dozens of gold coins, those farmers can buy one after tightening their belts for a while.
Of course, this refers to the normal market price in the future. In the short term, as a rare item, its price should not be too low. For those wealthy nobles and wealthy people, wait until the market is saturated, and then slowly reduce the price to let it enter the middle-class families, and finally low production.
In this process, the additional value generated by this has not been counted, such as the biocement made by the molting of the crayfish, the edible value of the crayfish and the electric eel, etc.
Moreover, this matter can be perfectly integrated with the Stark shrub that he is promoting. As long as it is proven to be feasible here, Gavin can immediately start large-scale breeding and production in other places with aquaculture and sell them all over the world.
After hearing the proposal of Gowther's mother, the old wizard Harlanson nodded excitedly: "I think so too. Look at these glassware. I ordered them from glass merchants from all over the world, especially this crystal dragon, the masterpiece of the Crystal Dragon Shop in the Water Foot Inn Village. When it rotates, it can emit colorful light and form a flying dragon phantom."
The old wizard touched a mechanism on the wall, and a curtain above his head immediately rose slowly, revealing a lifelike crystal dragon statue inside, about one meter in size. It was not caught in the air, but solidified in the air by magic and slowly rotating.
Suddenly colorful lights filled the entire tower, and phantoms of flying dragons of different sizes, large and small, of different colors were born and destroyed as the crystal flying dragon rotated.
"It's so beautiful!" Gao Se's mother looked at the crystal flying dragon infatuatedly. "If such a product had appeared in the Glory City before, even if it cost one thousand gold coins, I would buy it without hesitation. This thing is the same as the Happy Hall. It is simply a perfect match. It will push the atmosphere there to an unprecedented level. This business is not only feasible, but also has huge potential to be tapped. It can be divided into three markets: high-end, mid-range, and low-end, targeting completely different markets. crowd.”
Even though I no longer focus on operating Happy Hall, it is my old business after all. When I think of it, I rush there immediately. This dreamlike feeling really fits the atmosphere of Happy Hall. .
Harlanson couldn't help showing a bitter expression at this time and said: "But the ditch is not owned by me alone, but the property of all the villagers in Nimir Village. The villagers have serious differences about this matter, and they are about to use force. stage..."
"Dad, Dad Harlanson, are you here? Is there anything wrong? Jason said that he saw two strangers coming to our village and entering your tower..."
"No matter who you are or what your purpose is, please don't hurt dad. We can discuss anything. If you want money, we can find a way to get it for you."
"Dad, tell me, are you okay? If you don't reply, we will rush in."
"Don't mess around. There are several young and promising young people in our village who serve in the Masembo Guards and the Navy. If you hurt the people in our village, they will never let you go, no matter what. They will track you down wherever you go."
"Grandpa, Grandpa, are you okay? Answer me quickly!"
Outside Haranson's tower, there were sounds of quarrels and a crowd gathered. Most of them were strong men, but judging from their thick hands and feet, dark faces, and fierce looks, they were probably out-and-out. The farmer holds either a pitchfork or the simplest weapon.
From their words, it is not difficult to feel that the old mage Haranson has a high reputation in the local area and is very respected by the local residents. Then again, a mage who is willing to solve problems for the local residents, even if his The lower the professional level, the harder it is to not be loved.
The old mage smiled apologetically at Gavin and said, "I think the villagers have misunderstood. After all, our place is relatively remote. All the people coming in and out are familiar faces. We don't see a few new faces in a year. Please Allow me to go out and comfort them."
"Understood." Gavin nodded and said, "Then let's go out together. Didn't you say that there are differences among the villagers about the sale of glass water lamps? Just in time for them to gather together, we solved it together."
Gavin now feels that his time is getting less and less. Many things can be simplified, and those that can be handed over to others can be handed over to others. He brought Mrs. Gowther here, of course, not to show off that he came from Varro I found unusual things in my travel notes, but was prepared to leave this business to her.
In the case of relatively limited products, glass lamps will definitely go up the upper-class route and be sold to those lords and nobles who can afford to spend the money, especially those women who love beauty. It is even more difficult to refuse a beautiful lamp that will not be placed in the bedroom. New lighting tools need to be no longer subject to the smoke and fire.
At this point, Ms. Gauser and her escort girls have a sales advantage that others do not have. Whether it is Susal or Glory City, they can easily open up sales. They can even, in turn, take advantage of this uniqueness. products, further blending into the circle of local nobles and ladies, helping him collect more useful intelligence.
"This..." Haranson's eyes flickered, and there was unconcealable worry in his expression.
To him, Gavin and Ms. Gowther were strangers who came without warning. Even if they talked happily, he still couldn't figure out their background. Who knew how they acted?
It is common for many evil people to kill people with a knife in order to achieve their own goals.
Outside are not only his fellow villagers, but also his blood relatives, children and grandchildren.
Gavin seemed to see through Haranson's worries and couldn't help but smile: "I'm here to do business, not to cause trouble. Don't worry, I will never use force, but use business methods to conquer them. This is Cormier, if you use the knife, you will cut off your own retreat. "
Harlanson thought that this was indeed the case, but he still gave Gavin a vaccination and said: "Sir, many of them are rough farmers and have never left this village throughout their lives. Therefore, many of them have experienced They are very shallow and stubborn. They are already struggling with the ditch issue and cannot make ends meet. If they are too rude in their words and have some conflicts, please be patient and don't talk to them."
"I understand, no matter how rough they are, can they still be rougher than those monster tribes?" Gavin responded with a smile. He already had a case against the villagers outside.
"Thank you in advance, sir." The old wizard Harlanson walked out worriedly. Even though he got Gavin's promise, he still couldn't be completely relieved. After all, Gavin looked too young. Compared with those middle-aged people, young lords and nobles were more impulsive and irritable, and more likely to do extreme behaviors without considering the consequences. He had seen this with his own eyes. It was just a trivial quarrel, and the young noble dared to draw his sword and chop people in public on the streets of Masonbo. Afterwards, he only fined the young noble a lot of money.
This world has always been unfair, and these villagers in remote areas are at the bottom of the whole society.
But he has no choice now, he can only take one step at a time.
