BXBX NOVEL Chapter 522 - 522
1. Polyethylene - Basically plastic bags and wrappings. The stuff that is killing the ocean on earth.
2. Polyester - Basically water and wind-resistant stuff. It's the stuff that makes up things like raincoats and the like.
3. Acrylics - Two-fold utility. The first is the aesthetic stuff like acrylic paint, nails, and LCD screens and the second is adhesives like the almighty super-glue among others.
4. Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) - One of the core building materials in the world. It is used for pipes, for sliding doors and windowsills, and even IV tubes for hospitals.
5. Polypropylene (PP) - One of the most household rubbers. It is what is commonly sued to make thermoplastics. This covers a wide range of uses, but a simple one every knew were microwaveable plastic bowls/tupperware.
6. Rubber - This one needs no explanation.
7. Teflon - an anti-adhesive polymer which was a good insulator. Was normally used in a wide range of fields, but a more domestic example is non-stick frying pans.
8. Nylon - a superstrong silky fiber that is generally found in umbrellas, socks, and ropes, etc
9. Silicone - Used to make paints and sealants. Also, some used it for sexual purposes due to the texture that was similar to human skin.
10. Hydrogel - Basically hydrophilic polymers that could absorb and hold a substantial amount of water while maintaining their structure. Used in hair gel, toothpaste, cosmetics, etc.
These materials could be used to better his constructs and life. After all, while stone could work for most things, it was simply not all-around versatile and would be extremely inefficient at certain things.
Immediately, Darius created a soft cotton mattress with a woolen sheet. He also changes his stone chairs to plastic ones and considered his next steps.
Darius could create ceramic and glass using traditional means. He had fire magic to heat the minerals that amide up these two materials and had the ability to create the minerals with the Material Element.
However, he could so simplify things and create two spells for them, allowing him to create custom and intricate ceramics of all kinds and glass of all types with just an infusion of mana.
The choice was obvious here.
Before going back to start work, he changed all the piping to PVC and used his Stone to Metal spell to replace most of the stone containers, pools, and the like to relevant metals.
Darius entered his third dome, and breathed out deeply. He was grateful he had been rich and long-lived on earth, for it allowed him to learn many things which most earthlings felt were unnecessary.
One of them was how to create generators to generate electricity on a small scale. Darius could not manage an industrial-scale one without Miranda to handle the immense calculative work based on his knowledge to reverse engineer it, but small-scale ones were easy.
His Stone to Metal allowed him to create any type of metal, so copper, which was important for many electrical applications and especially generation, was in great use here.
Darius created 100 Kw Generator first, and set its functions to rely on diesel as fuel. He still had his water to oil spell, so the production of diesel was not a problem for him.
When he sparked it out and ti began working, he smiled with happiness. There was a lot more for him to do though, so he got to work making enough generators to fill this dome.
He also made sure to air it out so as not to overheat the generators. To best do this, Darius used the Blizzard spell within the dome, but at a low output. He then sealed the entire dome except for the output cables that went under the earth and connected to his cordage among other things.
He then created seeds of various fruits and vegetables like lettuce, cabbage, onions, and more. He then planted them and activated the water thank which he had filled with clean water from his Pulse spell.
The seeds were irrigated slowly but surely, and Darius left them alone for now. Rather, he spent the rest of his day using Stone of Mud to create huge basins outside his settlement territory, and then filled them up with water.
Today alone, he created more than enough water to create a small sea for sure.
He gazed up at the sky with a smirk, his eyes narrowing coldly. The heat from the sun had never relented for even a second, and even the humus he made had almost been baked dry, cracking at places.
If he didn't set up the pipes to water the humus before he planted the seeds over the past four months, the entire thing would have been ruined.
In a desert biome, the most hostile enemy was the sun and its heat. If he wanted to turn this place into a miniature paradise, he would first have to alter the climate before his attempts to terraform the land could be even remotely successful.
Darius then folded his arms and walked back to his cottage. To get the next stage of his plan working, he would need to enter 'seclusion' for a longer while this time.
Darius spent 6 months creating three new spells for the Material Element, and oh how useful they were to him.
