"It starts with the origins of the village of Nimir, which used to be a logging village with dense forests on the surrounding hillsides, but half a century ago, the old trees were cut down and the village could only be turned into a farming village.

However, the unscrupulous logging of the past angered nature and cursed the land, and the soil became increasingly sandy and poorly retained water, so the villagers dug a large number of canals and built a large cow-pulled water tower to solve this problem.

But before the water could reach the fields, it all leaked out of the canals.

I've heard that a creature in Pterodactyl Lake called the Exploding Shrimp has a shell that dissolves into a glue-like sticky substance that melts into the sandy soil and is very strong when it dries.

You see, it's this creature. ”

Harlanson pointed to the creature in a slightly smaller, glowing fish tank.

Isn't this just crayfish?

Not only is the appearance and color similar, but even the size is similar, the only difference is that the two crows of this thing are larger.

"Allow me to interrupt if you have any crayfish here...... Well, the sample of the dissolved hydrolysate of the shell of the blasted shrimp is also OK after solidification. Gavin couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes, he originally just came for this kind of water that could shine, but he didn't expect to have an unexpected gain.

"Yes, this is the shell of the blasted crayfish, as long as it is not soluble in water, they can be preserved for several years, this is a viscous substance formed after being integrated into the water, it has a strong viscosity, and after a little refining, it can be used to make the supreme glue.

This is what it looks like after being mixed with sand and solidifying, and only a small bottle of this substance can be combined with tons of sand to form an excellent water barrier. "Harlandson is clearly playing a leading role in the Nimir case.

Although his professional level is not high, his research spirit as a mage is qualified, and he retains a complete set of samples.

Isn't this special mother's biocement?

It's just that this cement is not gray, but dark red.

"Can I try it out?" Gavin's interest was completely aroused.

He is very aware of the role of cement in modernization, whether it is paving roads and bridges or building houses.

While building with magic is even more magical, fossilized mud is another magical form of cement.

But magic has the limitation that it is difficult to popularize on a large scale, and if he wants to benefit the people and enter thousands of households, let alone ten or eight years, even if he gives Gavin a century, he does not have the confidence to do it.

There is magic, which does not mean that the technology tree is completely blocked, and many things are more practical as far as the people at the bottom are concerned.

Gavin originally wanted to wait until the right time to get the cement out, but the technology of that thing was not particularly high, but it was more energy-intensive.

Where did I think, before that, I first encountered bio-cement.

Now it is necessary to determine how well this bio-cement compares to ordinary cement.

"Adults can experiment at will, and how many of these things we need in Nimir Village." Harlanson was also curious about what the other party wanted to do, and the mage who was interested in this kind of thing was the first one he had encountered.

"Thank you." Gavin first picked up a piece of sand glue, which was more than two fingers thick, and tried to break it, but it didn't move.

Then the war marauders were taken out, and they were beaten several times with different force, small and medium, and before they could do their best, they were broken.

It is not known whether this sand and soil glue is harder than cement, but it is absolutely qualified as a building material.

"Can this material withstand the devastation of extreme weather such as sun, wind, rain, and snow?" Gavin continued to ask Harlanson about the properties of this bio-cement, which could not be tested in a short period of time.

"I've never tried this kind of experiment." Harlanson was a little confused by Gavin's question, "I just use this substance often to solve the problem of water leakage in the canal, but from our experience in using the canal over the years, when it is in the water, it is durable, and it has not changed due to the severe cold and heat. ”

"Understood, thank you very much for your cooperation, you can continue to talk about the water canal in Nimir Village." Even if it turns out that the bio-cement can only work in water, it will be of great value to Gavin.

Don't forget, there's also the Ashaba River waiting to be treated in the valley, and with this bio-cement and magic, it will be faster than you think.

"Oooh...... Okay, okay, where did you just go? Interrupted by Gavin, Harlandson's mind was obviously a little confused, and after thinking about it for a few minutes, he continued, "This method of canal treatment is very successful, and the water is smoothly channeled into the fields, but the good times are short-lived, and this incident has brought a series of serious consequences.

The popping shrimp reproduces so fast and eaten, that aquatic weeds, animal carcasses, and seedlings of other aquatic organisms can even attack fish much larger than them in swarms.

On top of that, they attract electric eels that like to feed on them, and that's them. ”

Harlanson pointed to the large fish tank in the center of his room, where the aquatic creatures that resembled large loaches were the same electric eels that could discharge electricity in the water to attack.

"These electric eels are the reason why the water in your village's canal can glow?" Gosse's mother frowned, "No, there are electric eels in other places, and there are also exploding shrimps, why haven't you heard that the water there can also glow?" ”

"When the electric eels first came, the canals in our village could not shine, until we introduced a large number of Stark shrubs from the outside in order to control the electric eels, this shrub is a very good bait, all aquatic creatures like it, and the electric eels are no exception, but after they eat, there are very serious side effects, within seven days, they have no way to discharge, since then, our canals have begun to glow, not anywhere else, it must be in the canals of our Nimir village." Harlanson obviously has no sense of business secrecy, and completely shares the secrets of Nimir Village, and there is a smug look on his face that cannot be concealed.

At the beginning, it was he who introduced the exploding shrimp treatment canal from Pterodactyl Lake, and later he found Stark shrubs to restrain the discharge of electric eels.

"It's really all three." Gavin sighed.

"What do you mean it's all three?" Ms. Gosser, apparently, had heard the term for the first time.

"There is a popular view in the outer plane that the multiverse is composed of three cornerstones, and as long as the three cycle cornerstones are gathered, a unique magical effect will be born, and the water channels here glow, which also conform to the three cycles, the blast crow creates a stable water channel, the electric eel feeds on the exploding crow to generate electricity, and the Stark shrub inhibits the power diffusion of the electric eel, all of which are indispensable." Gavin analyzed it in a nutshell.

"Adults are erudite, that's the case." The old mage nodded to the side.

"How long does the water from the canal last to glow when it's put into a container?" Gavin asked.

"The glowing water in the oldest container so far should be three years old, and there is no sign of dimming, I think it should be permanent, and the electricity has solidified into the water, as if it had been cast with magical constancy." The old mage still gave a relatively conservative answer, which was the mage's cautious nature.

"Permanent? Isn't that the same as the Flame of Immortality? Lady Gother whispered excitedly, "Aren't you guarding a gold mine now?" As long as the water in the canal is filled into a glass bottle, even if it is a bottle of fifty gold coins, there will be countless people rushing to ask for it, especially in Susar, after all, the application of the inextinguishable flame there is so high, and the recognition of this smokeless lighting is relatively high, and there is also a huge demand for a metropolis like the Radiant City, after all, this kind of thing is permanent, and there is no hidden danger of fire.

There is also the shape, just the shape of the bottle is too simple, it is better to be able to make all kinds of animals, ornaments, if you can make a statue of a person, it will be more perfect, when the time comes, you can make a tailor-made service for those princes and nobles, and integrate their own glass statues with lighting.

Such a work has to start with a few hundred gold coins. ”

Gose's mother is not lacking in business acumen, but sometimes she is limited by her existing mindset.

Gavin was able to see the commercial value of Nimir Village at a glance, purely in another world, and he had seen thousands of houses brightly lit, and when he saw a few words about this in Varro's travels, he immediately thought about it.

Although the same effect can be achieved by the inextinguishable flame, it is too expensive for most people to pay, far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The glassware lighting in Nimir Village will be directly lowered.

Its main production cost will be the purchase of blast shrimp and electric eel breeding and glass containers, plus transportation costs, aside from the relatively large floating transportation costs, and the other conversions, a gold coin will be transported to the market, even if it is a dozen or even dozens of gold coins, those farmer families, tight clothing and food for a period of time, can also start one.

Of course, this refers to the normal price of the market in the future, in a short period of time, as a rarity, its price should not be too low, for those rich aristocrats and rich people, wait until the market is saturated, and then slowly reduce the price, let it enter the middle class, and finally low yield.

In this process, the ancillary value generated by this has not been calculated, such as the biocement produced by the shelling of the blasted crayfish, the edible value of the exploding crayfish and electric eel, and so on.

And this thing can be perfectly integrated with the Stark bush that he is promoting, as long as it proves feasible here, Gavin will immediately be able to start large-scale aquaculture production in other places with aquaculture and sell it all over the world.

After hearing Gose's mother's proposal, the old mage Harlanson nodded excitedly: "I think so too, you see these glassware, I ordered them from glasssmiths from all over the world, especially this masterpiece crystal wyvern from the crystal wyvern shop in the water blister's foot inn village, when it rotates, it can radiate colorful light, forming a wyvern phantom." ”

The old mage touched a mechanism on the wall, and a curtain above his head immediately slowly rose up, revealing the vivid crystal wyvern statue inside, about a meter in size, it was not caught in the air, but was solidified in the air with magic, and it was slowly rotating.

Suddenly, colorful and brilliant light filled the entire tower, and the phantoms of large and small, different colors of flying dragons, with the rotation of the crystal flying dragon, were born and destroyed.

"It's beautiful!" Gosse's mother looked at the crystal flying dragon stupidly, "If such a commodity appeared in the City of Radiance before, even if it is a thousand gold coins, I will not hesitate to buy it, this thing is a perfect match with the Hall of Joy, it will push the atmosphere there to an unprecedented realm, this business is not only done, but also has huge potential to be tapped, it can be divided into high-end, mid-range, low-end three markets, for completely different people." ”

Even if I no longer focus on operating the Happy Hall, but after all, it is my old business, and when I have an association, I run to it for the first time, this dreamlike feeling is really too suitable for the atmosphere of the Happy Hall.

Harlanson couldn't help but show a bitter expression at this time and said: "But the canal is not owned by me alone, but the property of the villagers of the whole of Nimir Village......

"Daddy, Daddy Harlandson, are you here? Is there something wrong? Jason said, "Seeing two strangers come to our village and enter your tower......"

"No matter who you are and what your purpose is, please don't hurt Dad, there is anything to discuss, if you want money, we can find a way to give it to you."

"Daddy, talk back, do you have anything wrong? If you don't reply, we'll rush in. ”

"Don't mess around, there are several young and promising young people in our village, serving in the Masonbo garrison and the navy, if you hurt the people of our village, they will never let you go, no matter where you go, they will track you down."

"Grandpa, grandpa, are you okay? Hurry up and talk back! ”

Outside Harlandson's tower, there was a lot of quarrelling, and a crowd of men were gathered, mostly men in good health, but looking at their thick hands and feet, dark faces, and stubble, eighty percent of them were authentic farmers, holding either pitchforks or the simplest weapons.

From their words, it is not difficult to feel that the old mage Harlanson has a good reputation in the local area, and is very respected by the local residents.

The old mage smiled apologetically at Gavin, "I think those villagers misunderstood, after all, we are relatively remote here, and there are familiar faces in and out, and I don't see a few new faces in a year, please allow me to go out and appease them." ”

"Understood." Gavin nodded, "Then let's go out together, didn't you say that there is disagreement among the villagers about the sale of glass water lanterns?" Just when they all came together, we solved it together. ”

Gavin now felt that his time was running out of time, that many things could be simplified, and that what could be left to others would be left to others, and he brought Madame Gosser, of course, not to show off what he had found in Varro's travels, but to leave the business to her.

In the case of relatively limited products, glass lamps must go the upper route, sold to those lords and nobles who can afford to spend money, especially those who love beauty, and it is even more difficult to refuse a beautiful new lighting tool that can be placed in the bedroom without the need for smoke.

In this regard, Ms. Gosher and her escorts have a sales advantage that no one else has, whether it is Susal or the City of Radiance, they can easily open up sales, and they can even use this unique merchandise to further blend into the local noble ladies circle and help them gather more useful information.

"This ......" Harlandson's eyes flickered, and there was a worry in his expression that could not be concealed.

For him, Gavin and Lady Gosser, after all, are strangers who come without telling each other, even if they have a good conversation, but they still can't get to the bottom of them, who knows how they act?

Many evil people, in order to achieve their own goals, wielding knives to kill people is a common thing.

And outside is not only his villagers, but also his blood relatives, children and grandchildren are inside.

Gavin seemed to see through Harlandson's worries, and couldn't help but smile and said: "I'm here to do business, not to do things, don't worry, I will never use force, but use commercial means to conquer them, here is Cormier, if you use a knife, it is equivalent to cutting yourself off." ”

Harlanson thought that this was indeed the case, but still gave Gavin a preventive shot: "My lord, many of them are rough farmers, and they have never left this village all their lives, so many of them are very shallow in their knowledge, and their temperament is stubborn, they have been tossed by the matter of the canal, and they can't make ends meet. ”

"I understand, no matter how rough they are, can they still be rude to those monster tribes?" Gavin smiled and replied that he already had a case against the villagers outside.

"Then thank you in advance." The old mage Harlanson walked out worriedly, even if he got Gavin's promise, he still couldn't be completely assured, after all, Gavin's face was too young, compared to those middle-aged people, the young lord and nobleman were more impulsive and irritable, and it was easier to make reckless extreme behaviors, which he had seen with his own eyes, just a trivial quarrel, the young nobleman dared to draw a sword and cut people in public on the streets of Masenberg, and only made a large fine to the young nobleman afterwards.

The world has always been unfair, and they, the villagers in the poor countryside, are at the bottom of the whole society.

But he has no choice now, he can only take one step at a time.
