Periodic Table of Elents!
Lin Ke couldn’t help but marvel that for so people, research and exploration are a form of enjoynt, more interesting than eating, drinking, playing, or gaming.
For instance, Granny Hisai is just such a person.
Under Ove’s guidance, Granny Hisai discovered atoms and electrons, and based on the snippets Lin Ke left behind, she managed to create an incomplete periodic table of elents.
Talent!
An unparalleled talent for chemistry!
Granny Hisai’s talent was not one of bloodline, but a talent rooted in character and soul.
Granny Hisai loves chemistry!
She has loved it for decades and even for a century, and she has been enlightened through it.
A love that can outlast the long years.
Granny Hisai developed a liking for the feeling of combining different substances to create new ones ever since she first ca into contact with so mortar and ash.
Moreover, Granny Hisai actually underwent a self-made career change!
The previous gunpowder had made her a [Bomb Maker], and now she has automatically transitioned into a [Chemist].
Just like Knicks being a [Doctor] and a [Poison Master].
[Chemist] is also a profession appearing for the first ti in this world!
This first-ever profession is astonishingly domineering, pushing aside the original profession entirely.
However, Lin Ke’s [Leader] possesses great inclusivity, and did not push aside the [Knight].
"Alright, what you need to do now is preserve the periodic table of elents and discover as many chemical equations as possible." Lin Ke’s interest was piqued, and he imdiately began writing and drawing on the table.
So important and basic things like water electrolysis, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, sodium bicarbonate, and such, like carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms, Lin Ke discussed with Granny Hisai.
Only by the evening did they take a break, at which point Granny Hisai had filled dozens of pages and her eyes were gleaming.
They were truly gleaming!
Floating above Granny Hisai’s head was a "C", the symbol for the carbon atom, signifying her second skill "Carbon"!
With this skill, Granny Hisai’s brain worked rapidly, striving to understand what Lin Ke said, to morize and learn.
At the sa ti, Lin Ke did not divulge everything explicitly, only suggesting possible directions, leaving Granny Hisai to research and experint on her own.
The core trait of a [Chemist]—"Experintation"!
It’s not about acids or bases, not about reactions, but about experintation!
The hypothesis cos from Lin Ke, while the experint is completed by Granny Hisai, so that Granny Hisai receives even more feedback!
Granny Hisai knew what Lin Ke ant, all the hypotheses were likely valid, and all she needed to do was experint!
A grateful Granny Hisai decided that from now on Lin Ke’s place in her heart was even more important than a gold coin!
Once Lin Ke was tired, Granny Hisai also took her leave.
A few days later, it was finally ti to build the city!
...
In the study, Garoce sat at the desk with his legs crossed.
Lin Ke was standing beside him, and another man was also standing by.
"Young Master Lin Ke, my na is Vilune, and I am an [Architect]. Is this your plan? Let take a look."
Vilune took the paper from Lin Ke, first exclaiming, "Is this top-grade Azanen paper? It’s really nice..."
Azanen paper is sold throughout the Gula Kingdom and has an excellent reputation.
Cheap! Affordable!
If it were just cheap and affordable, it would only be for the common folk.
But Azanen paper cos in grades!
Ordinary, premium, top-grade, superior, and excellent.
This drove the nobles mad with excitent.
Even paper can demonstrate my noble status? Damn, I must use the best!
Especially those lesser nobles who crave recognition.
But when it cos to price...
One copper coin for an ordinary sheet, three copper coins for a premium one, one silver coin for a top-grade sheet, one gold coin for a superior sheet, and a hundred for an excellent one!
One hundred gold coins for a sheet of paper?!
Craziness?!
But this caught the attention of the greater nobles too.
Excellent paper is insect-resistant, wrinkle-resistant, mold resistant, and fireproof!
It’s made from magical plants, so of course it has extraordinary effects.
So, many buyers in the Gula Kingdom stopped buying parchnt and instead purchased Azanen paper from "Lin Ke’s Store."
And now, the [Architect] Vilune was holding a sheet of top-grade Azanen paper that sold for one silver coin per sheet outside.
"...Um, Young Master Lin Ke, you are truly a genius!" The more Vilune examined the design, the more he was impressed.
Sewage System!
This was the first ti Vilune had seen such an idea!
In all the cities of the Naseng Continent, waste is piled up and dumped outside the city, or simply dumped within the city, wherever.
There is simply no such thing as a sewage system.
If a sewage system were incorporated, Vilune was certain this city would beco one of the cleanest and least slly cities!
"So, what do you think, is it feasible?" Lin Ke smiled.
"Yes, it is, it really is!" Vilune excitedly replied to Lin Ke, giving Garoce a confirming look, his hands trembling as he held the plan.
If he managed to construct this city, he might receive a 2-3 level feedback!
Profitable, indeed!
Garoce breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Vilune’s look, and his idle crossed-leg resud its bouncing: "Very feasible? Of course, my Lin Ke is the smartest in all of Naseng! Planning a re city? Easy!"
Lin Ke glanced at Garoce.
His father’s heart had just been in his throat!
He understood Garoce too.
As a father who was rarely ho, no matter how much others praised Lin Ke’s cleverness, Garoce would have his doubts.
Only when he saw it with his own eyes, and saw it often, could he beco accustod to it.
"Roughly, I calculated that the materials needed include Laine White Vein Stone, Red Maple Leaf Stone, and for wood, we’ll use the trunks of the Purple Codo Tree..."
Lin Ke pulled out another sheet of paper, densely packed with a list of raw materials: "It’ll be approximately thirty-seven million gold coins. Can you get all the materials?"
Thirty-seven million gold coins?!
Garoce shot up.
He didn’t know how much it would cost just a mont ago!
Why so much?!
Lin Ke and Vilune turned their heads to look at Garoce, their eyes full of curiosity.
Garoce scratched his head and sat down again: "Very good, very good, use only the best materials! Vilune, let know if any materials are missing, I can get them from the abyss!"
Garoce had forgotten that the paper mill his son left behind had earned over one hundred million gold coins in the past two years, and even after sharing with Rica, he still had over sixty million left.
He was just used to being poor, so he was montarily shocked.
"These are easy to acquire, but the sticky soil you ntioned, Lin Ke, um... I’ve only seen it by the river in Mantes’ territory."
Seeing Garoce sit back down, Vilune began to scrutinize each of Lin Ke’s material requirents. After going through them, he addressed Lin Ke.
"Mantes?" Lin Ke and Garoce exchanged a look.
Viscount Mantes had always been Azanen’s nesis, but considering there’s high-quality clay there, it was understandable.
"That Mantes, truly detestable, one day I’ll defeat it, as a second gift for you, the second gift for building this city, right, what’s the city going to be called again?"
"Great Wilderness!"
