Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Isn’t This Cement?

Troops were sent to the North, always with the news hidden, so there were not many discussions about it in the forums.

At most, some attention was drawn because those troops had left Flower Plateau.

However, there must have been people who had already sided with New Moon Kingdom and Blue Sand Kingdom, but it was unknown when they would realize that the hired troops all came from the same agency, which was also when their own conflicts with them would erupt.

As for now, people on both sides were still in the dark, especially since the Earth people had no subordinates in the deserts.

At most, there were some Desert Snake-men and Desert Lizardmen in the desert, but not a single human.

What Fang Jie hadn’t expected was that some troubles had arisen once again in the Flower Plateau. These troubles were stirred up by his own compatriots.

"People really shouldn’t be too capable, or they are prone to attracting trouble."

"Yes, each of them wants to showcase their abilities, but some are too careless about the proper time and place. It’s not surprising, after all, they had finally found an opportunity and certainly wanted to perform well."

One could only blame Earth for having too many talented people; even Qin Lan was struggling to keep them in check.

Since the control of Flower Plateau, Qin Lan’s subordinates had wanted to start building it up. There weren’t powerful territorial groups directly controlling the entire area; many were locals, and they were humans.

In their view, this was the perfect place for them to show their capabilities.

Some initially just presented their plans and various scheduling.

But soon, others were eager for quick success and organized some manpower to start construction immediately. They wanted to first build up and showcase their capabilities so that they could be promoted by their superiors.

Once some started doing this, others followed suit. Flower Plateau was vast, Fang Jie directly controlled only a small region, giving them a stage to showcase their abilities.

By the time Qin Lan found out, chaos had already ensued.

Fang Jie learned of this incident because it was posted in the discussion forum. It had become such a big issue and the post too hot, otherwise, Fang Jie would still be unaware of what had happened there.

"What should we do? We can’t just let them mess around; there must be a plan. Also, what about the positions they desire? We surely can’t let them manage anything."

Fang Jie had many people under him, but there weren’t many high-level positions.

After pondering, Qin Lan spoke, "Let’s look at it from another angle. They want positions, so we give them positions. But only on Flower Plateau, managing those humans or smaller areas."

"At the same time, they must be regulated. For those who acted preemptively, action must be taken. If we don’t make examples of a few, they’ll only get more out of line. Then, we need to set out a plan for them."

A plan? That was a good approach, at least it would make them follow the laid-out schemes.

Better than rampant growth, anyway. Imagine if in a town, various buildings had dozens of styles—that would be eyesores. As for the specific plan, Qin Lan had the talent for that.

"Alright, then you go ahead and plan. After the planning is done, I’ll have a look."

The orders still had to come from him; Qin Lan didn’t have the authority. It had to be approved by Fang Jie.

However, such large-scale planning wasn’t a matter of a day or two. During these days of planning, quite a few typical examples were arrested. The punishments were not very severe, but they calmed down many who were restless.

One day, Fang Jie held a small bottle, looking at the adjacent paper.

This was a new potion just researched by the Sun Tower, a Condensing Potion, and the paper detailed the potion’s capabilities.

"Pour the potion into a ton of water for mixing, and it can form a highly efficient adhesive potion. It can bond various sands and stones very quickly, solidifying as tough as refined steel. Isn’t this just like cement?"

Fang Jie widened his eyes, though it looked different, its effects seemed quite similar to cement.

Looking again at the formula and the price, it seemed not too high. If used on a large scale, it was actually very cost-effective.

His own territorial buildings didn’t need this sort of thing, but regular constructions might.

"How effective is this thing?" Fang Jie asked the Alchemist beside him.

A Death Alchemist had someone bring over a piece of wall: "This is the finished product, using this adhesive, the bond strength is comparable to raw iron. If a layer is also applied on the surface, the strength will be very high, defense rating could match a Bronze-level building. If thickened, the defense effect would be even better."

Comparable to a Bronze-level building, this stuff was stronger than cement.

"When using it, this water can be mixed into West Sand or clay, enhancing effects and making it more cost-efficient; it completely dries in two hours."

Fang Jie’s eyes narrowed slightly. If that was the case, it seemed quite good.

"Produce some of this stuff, it just so happens that Flower Plateau is preparing for major construction, use it to set an example for others. In the future, I think other countries will definitely purchase it in large quantities."

Other national powers couldn’t build all their areas as territorial buildings.

Whether or not it was possible, even if it were feasible, no one would do so because the consumption was too great and meaningless. Most ordinary areas, using this substance would actually be better.

With this, his territory had another knockout product, more valuable than cement.

After the experiment, Fang Jie immediately handed the samples to Qin Lan, and the issues of how to promote and sell it later were Qin Lan’s concerns.

Just as Fang Jie had anticipated, after receiving the samples and data, Qin Lan immediately went to find people to experiment with.

"If it really matches the data, then with this stuff, I’m confident in making us favored guests among major forces. In the future, relying on this, Jia Siwei’s side could also develop more smoothly."

Fang Jie was very satisfied, "Then I’ll leave the rest to you. It seems like the North is about to start moving."

During this time, Fang Jie’s main concern was still the North. Qin Lan knew that Fang Jie had bigger issues on his plate, so he didn’t disturb much, "Do you need me to go over?"

"Not for now. I can handle the war."

Qin Lan could help him with advice and strategies, but warfare itself was not his forte. Specialists in their fields, Qin Lan was not talented in everything, or perhaps he wouldn’t be working under Fang Jie.
