Chapter 104: Prototypes
After the successful water heater, Sage eventually got a few more technologies working.
As he experimented he realized how powerful material science and in turn chemistry was. So many things were taken for granted that they just couldnt do here. Well, its not that they couldnt they just used strange and exotic materials for all the things Sage was used to being done by synthetic creations. So many things were made out of different types of synthetic rubber or plastics that it was astounding to think of. The problem of moving water was essentially abandoned. Without factories to mass produce pipes and pipe fittings, Sage turned to hoses which is where he ran into the issue of hose materials. Without rubber, or all its natural and synthetic derivatives, he would have to use stitched up leather or animal intestines. Neither of those were easy to mass produce either.
Collecting and handling wastewater were something that required large scale construction of sewage systems so Sage focused on water sources, cleaning water, heating water, cooling water, and using the water. Different devices were created at varying levels of complexity. The largest of which was a huge water tower which created water out of thin air and could then use gravity due to its height to build pressure for distribution. It was another device using simple arrays, but on a much bigger scale than the water heater. The size of it meant it would be something that could serve a hundreds of people, but the cost was also much higher.
For water cleaning, the water heater he created could boil water for basic cleaning, and the water tower gathered water from the air, but he also build a filtering system using alternating layers of charcoal and sand. It was a technique he saw once on a survival show that filtered water. When combined with boiling the water it would remove a huge majority of any pathogens. It wasnt a magic tool, but more like an addon he could add to the water heater.
For water heating and cooling he built a second water heater that worked more like the instant water heaters on Earth. It was more of a very expensive device for rich folk since it was a somewhat small magic tool that used small and complex heating and energy gathering arrays. He only made it because he was sure his other devices would catch on and the rich would want huge amounts of hot water and would pay more for it. For cooling there was a similar device to the water heater, but with an ice array instead of a fire array. It was too weak to actually make ice, but it could keep water cold.
Finally, what he felt would drive the other devices forward were the uses of water. Showers, hot tubs, fountains and other water features, and last, but not least, toilets. Huge sewage systems were not something he could do on his own, but he built a bunch of different types of toilet models and flushing systems that could just empty into cisterns or other runoff channels. With all these devices, Sage was sure most wouldnt care about them and sales certainly wouldnt be high. His thoughts again moved to the sales and distribution, building a market. All sorts of concepts hed heard of before on Earth, but as a computer science major never cared much about. The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.
With these thoughts in mind, Sage started drawing up a few more plans for things he thought would be integral to his new business idea. A rough sketch of a building floor plan appeared inside the Memory Sphere. He certainly wasnt any sort of architect, but he was just planning out some the different features and where they might go as a full plan started to take form inside his mind.
While he wanted to keep it later for possible experiments, Sage gifted the Lamp of Passion to this official in order to open a channel for communication. Given that the lamp was worth thousands of spirit stones, he intended to get a very good deal out of this man.
Oh, dont you worry, my dear friend Lang Sheng. Im happy to come to the aid of such a famous man as you! Who wouldnt wish to assist such a learned and accomplished person such as yourself?
When word started to spread that the Half-Snake man in the Sect had found a way to change himself back to normal, many were impressed at his prowess. Others were disappointed to lose such an oddity, while others still worried about the validity of such a claim. Eventually a notice was released that the Peak Master Zhen had assisted Lang Sheng and he had made a complete recovery from the mysterious affliction he had contracted while on an Expedition. The weird event turned into a method to gain more popularity for the Peak Master, Sage was happy to get attention drawn from him and not be such a freak show.
Sage bowed his head and held his hands in front of his chest, clasping a hand over a fist towards Zhong Chang. Putting on a good show of humility before answering, You treat me far too well, Sir. My fame is only accidental and my accomplishments by luck. The true hero is you, managing a whole quarter of the Servant District with such excellent results!
More and more flowery flattery rang out between the two before Sage finally presented his reason for the meeting. The flattery turned into a careful dance back and forth as they negotiated a price. Thankfully, Sages first gift had been huge and he purchased the property was looking for.
Ten thousand spirit stones is far less than the land is worth, but I have to do what I can to help out my well accomplished friend.
Finally. The deal was complete. Time to move onto the next step.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
