Blending of Planes: I am leisurely farming

When Sean found Robin, as a mother, her face was full of gratitude. She excitedly pulled Sean's arm and dragged him into the house, constantly saying thank you.

"It's my duty, Robin. You took good care of me when I first came to Pelican Town." Sean smiled awkwardly and was pulled into the house by the enthusiastic Robin.

Nuts, snacks, all kinds of food and drinks, even the supplements that were obviously Demetrius's exclusive "male gas station", Robin took them all out and stuffed them into Sean's arms.

I'm ashamed. I have no place to use this even if you give it to me. Besides, I don't need this as I'm in great shape.

After a "game" of etiquette with Robin, Sean finally found an opportunity to get to the point and told him the purpose of his visit to Robin, the purpose that was delayed by Sebastian's sudden incident.

"Sean, just tell me. I'll help you in any way I can." Robin placed the fruit plate in front of Sean, wiped her hands, and said with a smile.

"Robin, I would like to commission you to build a bridge leading to the tidal pool. The specific requirement is that it should be able to accommodate trucks with a load of 10 tons." Sean thought for a while and said seriously.

A single driving practice site certainly does not require a bridge of this size. The reason why Sean put forward this planning requirement is that he has his eyes on the fishery resources of the tidal pool. The construction of such a bridge is an advanced planning.

Robin frowned when he heard this, and said with difficulty: "Sean, this is not a small project. First, the cost is high, and second, the project is difficult."

She thought Sean's request was a decision made by a naive young man without any investigation. But after all, Sean had just helped her a lot, and it was a bit rude to refuse directly.

Just when Robin was thinking about how to use an excuse to reject Sean, Sean said:

"Robin, I want to ask you to look at something. After you look at it, you can make a decision. But before you look at it, please swear to keep strictly confidential what you see afterwards."

Robin was full of questions: "Sean, what are you up to? But it doesn't hurt to meet her." As she said that, she swore an oath as Sean requested.

Afterwards, Sean took Robin to his own farm.

"Robin, I have a new material that is similar to concrete, but its performance is much better than it. Because it is not yet ready for the market, I am using it in the construction of this bridge. First, the project is indeed difficult, and second, it is also for early demonstration and experiment."

Sean showed Robin the solid building stones he made by mixing mud and water and then adding polymer additives.

Robin examined the material properties of the stone with a skeptical attitude and found that it was even more perfect than ordinary concrete with reinforced steel bars.

"It's unbelievable, Sean, you didn't find a ready-made piece of cake somewhere to trick me, your aunt?" Robin's eyes widened.

"Robin, I can show you the entire production process on the spot." Seeing Robin's disbelief, Sean spoke.

The steps are the same as mixing concrete, except that some special additives are added at the end and mixed thoroughly and then waited for it to solidify. Sean demonstrated it to Robin step by step.

"Sean, don't you realize that this is a major revolution in the field of engineering? I never thought that such materials were made on your farm? I even suspect that you are possessed by the god of craftsmen?" Seeing is believing, Robin was completely convinced.

She looked at Sean in amazement, and at the same time felt annoyed at his slowness in applying this invention. "This kind of thing should have been brought out earlier! What is there to verify!"

"Are you sure you're not a PhD in materials science?" Although Robin was excited, he still felt a little dreamy about what he saw.

It's like an ordinary person around you suddenly comes up with a national scientific research gold award. It's hard to explain unless he is possessed by a sage.

Sean had already thought of how to explain this.

Sean has no plans to reveal the secret of super powers to other close townspeople who have not joined his team. The spread of such secrets requires gradual progress and there is no need to rush.

This requires a suitable time and more common interests to support it, and now is clearly not the time.

"Robin, you know I have the ability to see through soil layers. I also found this material in the coal mine forest that was originally blocked by the Explorers Guild." Sean tried his best to lead the matter to the mysterious Explorers Guild.

"Is that so? Could it be that the Explorers Guild blocked that area for this kind of resource, and what Sean discovered were the leftovers from their digging?" Robin suddenly realized, and everything made sense.

"Sean! Where did you find this place?" Seeing that Sean didn't respond, Robin realized that he was too excited and said something wrong.

"Yes, no one else would share such a secret with me." She suppressed her curiosity and carefully examined the stone in front of her.

"Since the reserves I discovered are limited, I will keep some to see if I can imitate similar materials. The rest will probably be needed to build this bridge." Looking at Robin squatting in front of him, Sean continued.

Sean didn't lie. The source of this polymer material additive was the earthworm. Sean dug three feet deep in the strange space of the underground mine and only collected a barely enough amount.

At the same time, in order to avoid slaughtering the egg-laying chickens directly, Sean had to leave enough chickens for reproduction.

The number of earthworms is in short supply. For Sean's infrastructure plan of building a large road in Pelican Town, it is simply a fantasy to rely on such a small number.

Hearing this, Robin nodded and said, "When you succeed in copying it, you must think of your aunt first."

"It's my duty, Robin. So until everything is confirmed, please keep it secret. After all, I found it in that place, and I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble if the Explorers' Guild targets me." Sean reminded him again about confidentiality with a serious face.

Robin nodded solemnly and agreed to Sean.

With the support of new materials, Sean and Robin had the foundation to build a bridge.

"I will provide all the materials for building the bridge. Robin, you just need to come up with the design and construction. Can you meet my requirements?" Sean asked expectantly.

"If it is theoretically feasible as you said, but..." Robin looked embarrassed, "First, I have never done such a large-scale project. Second, I still need to test the specific performance of this new material. Third, it takes time to design and build a plan. Therefore..."

What she said revealed that she didn't have much confidence, and if Sean wanted to let him do it, he had to be mentally prepared.

"So what's the approximate cost?" Sean asked the question that concerned him most. After all, he didn't have much money on him at the moment.

"It fluctuates between 5 and 20. I can further narrow the scope after I conduct an on-site inspection and produce an exploration report and a feasibility plan." Robin said seriously.

"Sean, are you sure you want to build this bridge? There are few people over there..." Robin wanted to persuade him again.

"That's a bit too much." Such a price made Sean feel a little painful.

It seems that before building the bridge, we must get something from Mayor Lewis. Not to mention the ownership of the tidal pool, but at least the right to operate it for 50 years.

Only in this way will he start working. Anyway, Lewis is in urgent need of restoring his image because of the scandal. I believe that this decision will make him make concessions.

"How about this, Robin, whether I build this bridge in the future or not, I will use the priority cooperation rights for future imitation products in exchange for your advance exploration quotation and related design?" Sean asked tentatively.

"Sure! I'll give you the results in a week." Robin responded readily.

In this way, the two reached a preliminary cooperation intention.
