Chapter 770 - Evolution (1/2)

Although he could leave immediately after the transfer order was passed, he had to give instructions to his team.

After all, a lot of experiments had to be put on hold while he was away. It took him a day to deal with these trivial matters and he didn’t set off until the second day.

His virtual cabin was also moved with him. The airliner didn’t want to transport the big bunk, but the base talked to the airliner and convinced them to help with the relocation.

Then, only half a day later, Roland arrived at a certain space base at the center of the country.

He was warmly welcomed.

Then, a party was prepared for him. Someone also helped Roland set up the virtual cabin and connect it to the Internet.

After a night of rest, Roland was taken to a large warehouse in the early morning.

A lot of custom building materials were in the warehouse.

Many unused molds were put aside too.

“Greetings, Comrade Huang.” A middle-aged man with a tablet walked toward Roland and shook hands with him. Then he said, “Our superior has told us about you. Now, would you please run a raw material transformation test for us?”

Roland was here exactly for that purpose. He nodded and said, “Not a problem.”

“We’ve prepared more than ten kinds of mud with different density, quality, and stickiness.” He raised his hand and waved, and a worker soon pushed a trolley of molds toward Roland. “We’ve prepared three molds for each kind of mud. There are 48 molds in total. We need enough samples for our tests. Sorry for the trouble.”

Three men approached and soon set up high-speed cameras.

Roland raised his eyebrows. It was obvious that those eyes didn’t trust him.

Were they scared that he was a fraud?

But that was understandable. What happened to Roland was so uncanny that nobody would believe it until they saw it with their own eyes.

After all, there was no record of anything similar.

Also, Roland didn’t think that they were all the people who were watching him. There were several security cameras in the warehouse that must’ve been set up to prevent anyone from stealing the goods, but Roland had no doubt that many bosses were observing him through the cameras at this moment.

Of course, Roland wasn’t bothered by that. He looked at the mud that was in different hues of yellowness and contained in piles of molds in the trolley and asked, “Can I begin?” “Yes. Do you need us to unload the molds for you first?” asked the middle-aged man.

Roland shook his head.

He snapped his finger and surrounded the molds with bright yellow magic power.

Many people’s eyes almost popped out after seeing the magic energy that appeared out of nowhere. Someone even wanted to touch it to confirm that he wasn’t hallucinating.

Then, one of his colleagues instantly grabbed his hand and shook head.

After that, the man backed off.

After a dozen seconds, the yellow light was gone.

Roland said, “Done.”

The middle-aged director instantly grabbed a random mold and smashed it to the ground.

The mold, made of fragile materials, was easily broken, revealing the inside that had been solidified into a tiny stone.

It was bright yellow, extremely smooth, and even reflected the light.

He tried knocking it on the floor, and the stone let out noises of collision.

It was very hard.

The middle-aged director hit it even harder.

Even the cement floor was cracking, yet the stone pillar was absolutely fine. He wiped off the dust at the point of impact, and the stone didn’t have a single scratch.

It was obviously very sturdy. Some other people also came close and tried the parts after breaking their molds, only to find that they were surprisingly hard. The middle-aged man said in delight, “Comrade Huang, we’re going to measure those samples. Thank you for your trouble.” “You’re welcome.”

The middle-aged man escorted Roland back to his temporary dormitory and then left quickly after saying goodbye.

They were not snubbing Roland because he was no longer needed, but because they were really interested in the stone parts.

The comprehensive and authoritative test took several days.

Roland spent almost all this time in his dormitory.

After all, this was also a classified base where he couldn’t wander about freely.

A few days later, the test result was out.

An emergency meeting was convened. Almost all the bigshots and important researchers in the base were summoned. The old man who transferred Roland here said from the podium, “The data of most tests are very satisfying. All the indicators of the building materials made of the mud with additional materials are better than what we had before. Sample No.9 and Sample No.18, in particular, have extraordinarily high comprehensive statistics. Their only shortcoming is heat conductivity. They’re 5% higher than the slab of the lowest heat conductivity.”

Hearing that, all the meeting participants smiled.

The stone slabs had low heat conductivity in the first place. A 5% increase from the lowest heat conductivity was insignificant.

“Therefore, the stone slabs and strips can completely replace the materials we had,” said the old man. “Now, if you agree that such materials should be used to make the external walls of the moon base, raise your hand.”

Everybody raised their hands.

“Then it’s settled.” The old man made the decision. “We’ll start building the molds tomorrow. Comrade Huang can only stay for a limited amount of time with us.”

“Mr. Xu, can you keep him with us?” shouted a researcher. “Eggs can only keep us full for now. Wouldn’t it be greater if we stole the hen that lays them?”

The old man smiled from the podium. “He has his own research project that’s as important as ours. Who do you think invented the Huang Nutrient that you eat now and then?”

All the researchers were smart enough to realize his implication.

That was very impressive… They didn’t know that it was this young man’s work. The next day, Roland became a material-making tool to those people.

Because he didn’t carry the crystal stick, he couldn’t get magic elements from it and could only use Magic Power Transformation.

Basically, the magic elements that he created every day would be drained on the same day.

In no more than ten days, Roland was already getting slimmer… Just kidding. He simply had dark eye bags. In reality, he became a building material producer, and in the game, the infrastructure on the floating city was completed as time went by.

Based on the blueprints that Roland retrieved from the base, the architects and sculptors of Fareins did their work creatively.

The military-styled buildings on the blueprints were reshaped into city gardens, or air gardens.

Also, the convenience of the other buildings wasn’t affected at all.

Roland was quite happy to see that.

Everybody wanted their home to look beautiful without losing its functions and convenience.

Roland was quite satisfied with the infrastructure of the floating city. He voluntarily offered a lot of bonuses to the architects and sculptors.

Some of them accepted the bonus, but most didn’t. Eventually, it was a fat, bearded architect who had dwarf bloodlines who said, “Mr. Roland, can you let us live here permanently?”

They had all realized how convenient the floating city was.

It had three teleportation arrays, one to Wetland City in Hollevin, one to the Capital Square of Fareins, and the last one to the royal palace of Fareins.
