In this way, as long as the details are finalized by the accompanying personnel, the first mission of his trip to Xumi will be completed.

Then, he can start trying to complete his second task, which is also the most important task, to obtain the hearts of the God of Grass and the God of Thunder.

"Chairman Elhaisen, I wonder what you think about the Heart of God."

Pantalone was very cautious and did not directly say that he was here to take the Heart of God. Instead, he chose to test the other party's attitude first.

If we can talk, that would definitely be the best; if we can't talk, then we still need to consider it carefully.

If that doesn't work, he will try to find the Grass God and see if he can invite him to come to Winter in the name of the Ice Queen.

"The Heart of God? This is undoubtedly a very precious thing."

Elhaisen knew very well what Pantalone and even Dongdong were thinking. They just wanted the Heart of God.

"Lord Grass God has also told us to keep them under good care and not let them fall into the hands of others without our knowledge."

Looking at Pantalone's somewhat embarrassed expression, Elhaisen paused for a moment, and after whetting the other party's appetite, he continued speaking.

"but…"

"But what?"

Seeing that there was still hope for a turnaround, Pantalone asked directly.

After all, the current Xumi is different from the past. With the powerful fighting power that the Grass Goddess has shown recently, if Zhidong really doesn't want to give it, then he really has no way to deal with her.

So as long as negotiations are possible, it will be a good thing for Zhidong.

"But if your country can sign this agreement, Lord Grass God can also hand over the Heart of God to you."

Taking out an agreement that had been drafted long ago, Elhaisen placed it in front of Pantalone.

"Technology, materials, industrial equipment and various major projects, no more, no less, a total of 156 projects."

Looking at the other person's surprised expression, Elhaisen placed his hands in front of him, rested his chin on the back of his hands, and continued what he had just said.

“I wonder if your country can accept this?”

Chapter 107: To get rich, build roads first

"Everyone, work harder and try to cut down these trees as soon as possible!"

On the side of the road leading from Xumi City to Huachenggu, there was a group of people walking along the road, swinging their axes in full swing.

As time went by, thanks to their efforts, the originally narrow road gradually became wider.

It is obvious that they are part of the recent infrastructure construction army in various parts of Xumi, and they came here to widen the roads.

"Quick, clear away all these logs and stumps!"

After the trees were cut down by the workers in the front, the people following behind immediately began to move the wood out of the site and dig out the wooden stakes in preparation for the next step of road construction.

"These former soldiers are really efficient. If they keep up the pace, I think we can clear this section of the road today."

Standing behind the workers, looking at the scene in front of him, Kavi, as a veteran, couldn't help but sigh.

Since the end of the war, how to deal with the army whose number has increased greatly due to the war has become an important issue facing everyone.

After all, it is estimated that there will not be any major wars in Xumi for a long time to come. If the only need is to maintain public order and suppress bandits, there is no need for so many troops.

Therefore, in order to reduce the burden on the country and provide strong labor for subsequent economic construction, the Renaissance Alliance decided to start disarmament.

But then, how to disarm and in what form to disarm becomes a new problem.

Because of the current economic situation in Xumi, after the Gilded Brigade is completely abolished, it is impossible to provide so many new jobs for the transfer and demobilization of soldiers.

If disarmament means simply expelling soldiers from the army, and so many people suddenly flood into society, all of whom are unemployed, it will inevitably bring about huge social unrest.

Therefore, before the economy develops, most of the soldiers who have been laid off at this stage have been arranged to join the Xumi National Construction Group and become glorious construction workers.

As for the Xumi National Construction Group, it is one of the earliest Xumi state-owned enterprises established after the establishment of New Xumi.

The main business scope, as the name suggests, is to carry out engineering construction in various places in Xumi.

According to the previously formulated economic development plan, in addition to vigorously developing industry, a very important task for Xumi now is to complete the upgrading and renovation of infrastructure in various parts of Xumi.

If you want to be rich, you must build roads.

The benefits of vigorously building infrastructure to the country are self-evident.

As a result, on the main roads all over Xumi, you can find these workers working hard to repair or widen the roads.

The team in front of us is just an ordinary member of the road construction army mentioned above.

But with the appearance of Kavi and the scholars around him, this ordinary road construction site will begin to become extraordinary.

"Once all obstacles on this section of the road are cleared, we will have the workers stop and start experimenting with our new material."

While watching the workers working hard, Kavi directed the people behind him to unload bags of goods from the carriage.

These goods are all heavy, and there are scholars accompanying them throughout the process, which makes them look extraordinary.

"Everyone, pull out all the binder and aggregate and prepare to mix them."

Under his command, several large pits were quickly dug out, and then several huge iron containers were placed in them.

These are also the reasons why he, as the construction director of the new Xumi, personally came to the front line to direct the construction.

That’s right, after the establishment of New Xumi, Nashida fulfilled her promise to Kavi and appointed him as the construction minister of New Xumi, in charge of all the engineering construction work of Xumi.

At first, Kavi, who suddenly became a minister, seemed very excited, because many of his dreams might soon come true.

But soon, real life poured cold water on him. Many of the architectural plans he submitted were ruthlessly rejected by Elhaisen.

"It's not time to build wonders on Xumi right now. Let's build the infrastructure first. I'll build these for you later if I have the chance."

Elhaisen's reasons were also very sufficient. After all, everyone knew what the current situation of Xumi was, and there was really no ability to do anything about it.

But Elhaisen still promised Kavi a deal and gave him a research report.

This is a research report on new building materials. Judging from the materials, it looks like it is quite old.

"This was found in the database of the Ministry of Education. According to Lord Grass God, the material described in this report has infinite potential."

So, Kavi took this research report and a lot of information provided by Nashida and started working on new building materials.

This is a peculiar building material. By using slime liquid mixed with sand, stone and water, it can form an extremely hard substance.

Before drying, this substance is like clay and has strong plasticity. After drying, it is like hard stone and has good tensile and compressive strength.

Kavi, who had been engaged in the construction industry for a long time, immediately realized the value of this material and quickly reported it to Nashida.

If this thing can be used on a large scale in the future, it will be much more convenient than building houses with stone, wood and mud now.

Unexpectedly, not long after he submitted the report, Nashida rushed to his office and allocated a large budget to him on the spot.

And with Nashida's insistence, this new material was finally named "concrete".

At the same time, with such a large budget, Kavi lived up to everyone's expectations. After killing almost all the slimes near Xumi City, he finally gathered a certain amount of concrete raw materials.

That's why he is conducting field tests here today.

"Based on the pre-calculation, mix according to the proportions, then lay the foundation in advance and pave a 20-meter road surface first."

I can only say that they are worthy of being scholars from a country of wisdom. Although the top level is rotten, these middle-level technical personnel are still very reliable.

With sufficient budgets, various experimental uses of concrete have been invented and are now being taken out of the laboratory for practical testing.

Soon, thanks to the efforts of the workers, this widened road section was paved with Teyvat's characteristic concrete, and specially developed air-drying devices were set up around it.

I believe that it won’t be long before this section of road is dried by the wind, and this new type of material, which even the God of Wisdom has high hopes for, will be able to show its advantages and disadvantages.

Chapter 108: Come on, workers!

"Ying, Nashida, look at the road ahead. It looks so strange."

On the only way from Huachengguo to Xumi City, Paimon, who was flying in the front, let out another small cry of surprise and waved to Ying and Nashida who were behind.

Since entering Xumi, she has had this reaction almost every day, and Ying and Nashida have gradually become accustomed to it.

"Well, it seems that this country of wisdom is really worthy of its reputation."

But being used to it does not mean that there is no feeling about it. On the contrary, facing all kinds of things that Xumi has never seen before, both in terms of social aspects and technological aspects, Ying feels extremely novel.

“It looks a bit like a cobblestone road, but the material is completely different from a cobblestone road.”

Walking onto this unique road, Ying stomped hard on the unusual "stone road" under her feet and couldn't help but marvel at it.

It's such a long-lost feeling to see something like this in Teyvat.

"But judging from everyone's reactions, roads made of this material should have only been around for a short time."

The sharp-eyed Paimon quickly noticed the reactions of the other travelers. Judging from their stomping of feet from time to time, it was obviously the first time they had seen this kind of road.

"Actually, this stretch of road is an experimental road. It's not too long, just a few hundred meters in total."

Seeing the two people's confused expressions, Nashida, who had been answering their questions along the way, stood up again and took on the role of a mobile encyclopedia.

"I see. That's no wonder." After getting the explanation, Paimon nodded at first, but she soon realized something was wrong.

"That's not right, Narcida. How do you know this?"

As if he suddenly came to his senses, Paimon directly questioned Nashida soul-searchingly.

Along the way, out of trust in her good friend, she did not pay too much attention even though Nashida showed all kinds of extraordinary abilities.

But now, there is no signboard or anything around here, so how does Nashida know the origin of this road?

Something is wrong, very wrong.

So, Paimon took out a pair of glasses from somewhere, put them on his face, and acted like a famous detective.

"This is actually the result of the Void Terminal. You can also try to check it with the Void Terminal."

Realizing that she had let something slip, Nashida calmly began to defend herself. It seemed that the relaxed and happy daily life during this period had made her a little careless towards Paimon.

After all, on weekdays, this emergency food looks like it doesn't want to use its brain, and the most interaction with me these days is snatching food at the dinner table. How come it has become so smart all of a sudden?

Fortunately, this place is not too far from Xumi City, and the void terminal already has a signal, so it is not impossible to get through.

"Oh, really, it turns out this section of road is a testing ground for new building materials."

Paimon then tried it with the void terminal, and sure enough, detailed information about this section of road was soon listed in front of her.

"That's no problem. Hehe, I didn't expect that I could use the Void Terminal here." Putting his hands behind his back, Paimon smiled awkwardly.

"Wait, doesn't that mean we are very close to Xumi City?"

But then, as if realizing something, Paimon flew excitedly in front of Ying and shook her hard.

Two days had passed since they left Hua City.

But until now, she still can't forget her previous experience in Huachengguo.

"That's great! Now I can stay in a luxurious hotel and eat lots of delicious food!"

At that time, with the help of the void terminal, the three of them quickly found the administrative agency of Xin Xumi in Huacheng.

Not only that, they even met directly with Tinari, the first secretary of the Renaissance Alliance in Huacheng.

After understanding their purpose, the other party, although with a strange expression, still enthusiastically provided them with help.

Unfortunately, even though Tinari had looked through all the information about Huachengguo, he still couldn't figure out where Nashida came from.

To express his apology and welcome to the foreign travelers, Tinari specially arranged the most luxurious guesthouse in Huacheng for the three people and prepared a sumptuous dinner for them.

This made Ying feel flattered and she immediately declined.

You know, in the past three countries, they were always wanted criminals for a while for various reasons. As a result, when they arrived in Xumi, the local chief executive treated them with such courtesy, which scared her.

However, thanks to the efforts of Paimon with shining eyes, they finally accepted Tinari's kindness and enjoyed a good night in Hua Castle.

"What are you thinking? That was Tinari's kindness before. If it were me, I wouldn't have that much money to let you enjoy it."

Ying said unhappily as she gave Paimon, who was shaking her, a slap on the face with her hand.
