The construction process is faster than what it took on the desolate planet. The manpower here is multiple times more than there and they are of even higher level. Sam saw some Pre-transcendent stage cultivators working like construction workers. Not doing anything but creating the concrete slabs.
This is completely new to him.
But this situation was only for a week. After that, some of the builders had to move to some emergency construction. Sam could easily guess what is.
The factory for the new products.
The One-star military unit is opening the factory right next to the grenade factory and half of the team from Braman"s construction company has to go there.
Braman doesn"t know why they are in such a hurry. He is much more interested in Sam"s school project as this is the largest project he has seen and it will also increase his market value after it was done both financially and also a brand image.
Sam"s designs are unique and they are going to be one of a kind in this majestic city which would attract a lot of people.
If only he knew what kind of this school this is going to be and how popular it can get, he would have never even let his construction team go.
But half of his construction workers have to go away. Because the professor insisted that the factory has to be completed as fast as possible and Braman fought tooth and nail to only send half of the team.
The war on Planet-2 is going insane and the troops are dying like flies. If this continues, no one can guarantee that the secret they had kept hidden for centuries would be kept secret anymore.
On this one matter, both the factions joined and this hidden faction led by the professor also supported fully.
They clearly know the depth of the situation and they are not petty in the face of it.
While the situation is like this, Sam got some news from the shadow mice. Rajan is going to Planet 2 and he seems to be joining the war.
The suicide attempt by Ramya must have impacted him too much.
He is looking for a way to let the steam out and this is the perfect chance for him.
And the war even required the consummate level cultivators to move, this made Sam remember the large pod he has seen and that creature that almost killed him.
He could only wish the troops good luck and hope that his products can give him a break.
The hidden faction was the happiest in this tense situation, because Sam also gave a batch of harpoon guns and some breathing devices along with a bunch of puppets when they made the business deal and he got news that they were already sold to the military. Even though there are only ten of each piece, the government made a test run and they made a small fortune just with this sample products.
And since the owner of the designs turned out to be the one-star military, according to this world"s laws, the government cannot forcefully take it away from them.
This made the business even more possible.
Sam got all this news from Galvin and his team through a shadow mouse.
Out of all the members of the hidden faction, Sam knew of, only Braman is kept in the dark.
After the second week since the incident the foundations are already laid in Sam"s school and one building already finished the next phase of construction the work is progressing greatly.
The same thing was happening on the side of factory construction.
The first thing they built is a large warehouse type room and they kept the equipment for making the breathing devices. This time, they managed to hire some already trained guys in the aspect of making breathing devices and started manufacturing.
They are the ones that are on top priority from the government and they started manufacturing them.
Soon, the One-star military unit was fully deployed to the sea sh.o.r.e to join the battle and these people went with the set of breathing devices and harpoon guns and the water element users even got the flat-fish puppets.
While the war side is heating up, the election is nearing and the campaigns are growing wild.
There are some illegal malpractices in the election like giving bribes to certain people to get votes.
There is an entire cla.s.s of people who doesn"t care what government that comes on top of them. And they include people in different sectors, like the workers in factories, the teachers in some educational inst.i.tutions, some military units that are too dangerous and not controlled by any factions and least caring of them all are the common public that live the lowest of the lives in the financial pyramid of this society.
No matter what faction comes into power, these people wouldn"t have too much of an impact and every government that makes different policies will only effect the general populace that already have a decent life to begin with.
But the majority of the people belong to the cla.s.ses that are not effective, so they can only show them something more tangible, not some promises which they are sure not going to be fulfilled.
So, the faction 2 went for a more indirect way, by distributing the liquor here and then. They managed to develop some cheaper version on the drinks that Sam sold them and are distributing them freely, while the faction 1 went through a direct method by giving some tangible benefits like spirit stones, weapons and medicines.
The compet.i.tion is high, on both the surface and in the shady grey area.
This also led to another thing, the fights and battles are starting to break out, the mercenaries are finding new jobs, the couriers are busy with carrying messages and goods.
The capital lost any state of calm.
Sam is taking it all in.
By the end of fourth week, which concluded a month since the incident, the factory was completed and the production has been going on full swing and the election campaign reached the new heights.
And the school is also on its finishing stages. Now Sam has to arrange the staff. He is not opening the school immediately, he has to bring the staff from the school in the desolate realm.
But for that, he would be needing some help and for the first time, Sam is going to use the services and some underhanded help of Raunak who is a high level official now.
His rank far outranks the City lord of the Planet 2"s capital and due to Rajan"s insistence on placing him within the educational department, they had to pay a certain price for that which gave him a higher rank.
And since he is a special officer he has some special privilege.
Giving the teacher"s license.
The teacher"s license is a special ident.i.ty. Every person cannot be a teacher. They have to go through certain tests and the standards would be maintained by a special license officer. But Raunak has a special power regarding this.
So, Sam would be bringing his own staff from the desolate realm, where there is a new batch of excess teachers and researchers and bring them to his base in Planet 2.
Raunak will be conducting a ma.s.s scale teacher"s license test in the Planet 2 capital and his staff will partic.i.p.ate in it.
Sam"s school has different requirements for teachers in different fields, but the government can only give permission for certain mainstream fields, so Sam"s mode of operation is a bit limited for now, but he can still manage for the time being.
After the teachers are selected, they will get the license which has an added bonus of a civilian ident.i.ty.
They will join Sam"s school and enter the staff properly.
After that, Sam would open the school and the first target populace are obviously orphans.
Sam really wanted to see if he can continue the same thing he did in the desolate, create an overall manpower that excels in different ways by inducting orphans into his school and from the information he got from the teenager in the fruit street who also happened to be an orphan, and Raunak who was also an orphan, the number of orphans is actually quite high and there are many government funded orphanages in this place.
Anyone can donate or even constantly finance them, so Sam is currently concocted a new plan to gain a regular source of the orphans into the school the rest of it will be run by itself.
But that has to wait for a bit, because there is another important thing going on and it happened to be a wedding.
And this is the first wedding, Sam is attending since he came to this world more than thirteen years ago.
And the wedding is of Raunak and Ramya"s.
The wedding was being arranged grandly and Sam was caught off guard with when he was told he was the chief guest. Raunak has helped him a lot, even though it was all a fair exchange between them, he liked that guy a bit. So, he helped him with that girl"s problem.
Sam doesn"t know what to give him as a gift. All he has is a lot of wealth which wouldn"t be that appropriate to give.
And the trio is not helping either, they went on a search for their own gifts. There is only three days for the wedding and Sam was left confused.
