After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 679

While a mosquito was targetting her husband, Althea was very very busy in the Research Center.

At this time, she was in the building materials research center, looking quite satisfied.

Why? Because Concrete was almost finalised!

Fortunately, when they got enough of the ingredients, they could easily experiment on the optimal conditions. They soon zoned in on the ideal formula, at least for the temperature and humidity of Alterra. They also had to consider the atmospheric composition, gravity, and even the soil properties.

Now, they had to test its performance in extreme temperatures.

It happened that Tori had a thermostat so they could do it scientifically. They were experimenting with Bento, a Materials Engineer from the Eden government and his team.

"Gravity is stronger, so we need to make the concrete more robust…" one said, and his assistants—mostly students from different fields of science—adjusted the proportions of sand, gravel, and crushed rocks.

This went on and on for a while.

"Expansion rate is…

"Elasticity…

"Coefficient is acceptable, but I think it could be improved."

"Maybe if we add rebars…"

"That’s true. What about structural fibers?"

She watched the scientists work on data and came up with a thought. She took out her aether letter, calling her husband.

/Husband, where are you?/

/About to go home now. Why? Where are you?/

/Research Lab. We need you here./ she said, closing it after he answered the affirmative.

They continued with the experiments until the handsome man arrived. The shy scientists froze, their movements getting affected just by his appearance.

They couldn’t get used to his strong presence at all!

Miss Althea also had a great presence, but she was gentle and kind and made people feel relaxed. Her husband though, had suffocating coldness.

Why would Miss Althea even call him here?

As if hearing their thoughts, Althea answered the question, "Didn’t you want to test in cold temperatures?" She asked, pointing at him. "He can simulate the cold. He can also create metal similar to steel."

Oh.

They looked at her with enlightenment and their attitude toward Garan shifted from one of fear to one of admiration and cooperation.
