A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World

Laboratory upstairs.

"So, let's improve the current shield."

"Yes."

Yes.

Tracy and the ringtone replied.

However, if the improvement is good with the degree of reinforcement, isn't it good with a combination of frame and lattice rather than the whole surface?

I think this will strengthen the sword against attacks other than poking.

Then just make a mold, pour in some black slime fluid, and stick it inside your existing shield. "

The bell rings.

"... I see."

Takeo nods as he thinks, "Ah, it wasn't hard to think."

"Then buy an existing shield and press the inner shape into the soil or something to duplicate it, mold it with white slime body fluids, and create a reinforcement frame and lattice shape accordingly.

Then make a new frame, pour it in, bake it, and finish.

That's what this is about. "

Tracy assumes the work of talking about the bell tone.

"... I see.

The production workshop will think about the work process, so now we just need to make a large frame and prototype.

Tracy, can you do it? "

"Yes, I will prepare a detailed description and drawings of what I just said.

Only the exterior shape can be prepared. "

"If you can get reinforcement units, you can sell them to other collars as well.

Installation is relatively affordable and easy, yet manufacturing is cumbersome.

That's the basics. "

"Well... even if you imitate it, this is a production method that assumes that the liquid becomes solid.

It would be expensive in terms of iron. "

Tracy smiles bitterly.

"Well, at least the Earls of Godwin and Temple will need to send a prototype to buy it.

I can't reinforce it against poking, but it looks like it will sell if it becomes sturdy in the basic part.

... in reality, this one will sell better.

Now, Mr. Tracy's thinking about a shield that only deals with small arms...

Hmm... Tracy, I will officially report the proposed reinforcement to King's Landing as the first shield achievement. "

"Yes."

"There are two contents, one is reinforced with Elvis' SL solution.

The other is similar reinforcement using existing iron.

Prepare these two drawings and production, as well as tests and reports.

Make sure the unit is made of SL liquid only.

You don't have to write it like burning SL-05 liquid specifically. "

"Well... you have an inquiry from the royal castle, right?"

"You know the Elvis family there, so... I think it's probably okay.

... I have to buy something called SL liquid from Elvis' house to make the same thing.

The Elvis family is in a system of coexistence with the mists, and we know at this stage that if known in the King's City, it will lead to overtaking.

So you'll keep it a secret.

I'm not really worried because I was made aware of it. "

Really?

"Black Slime is a rare species not known to Taylor, who was a royal magician.

They won't find it before the overrun. "

"Ah... that's right.

It's a rare species, though I'm used to it because the first snow is usually coming out. "

Tracy nods.

"And only the Eldermoon slime can produce it.

Eldermoon slimes from around King's Landing and Elvis and Godwin have gathered under the mist in the evening, right?

I'll warn the fog in the evening.

Stay away from people inadvertently.

That way, the slime in the fog-dominated area will all be away from the public.

At least will black disappear? "

"Then there won't be any inadvertent overfishing.

... what if I say it's unfair? "

"I won't tell you because the manufacturing method is a source of income.

If you want it, it'll hurt the Elvis family's interests, so you'll need a reasonable amount of information.

Because it is a product that is not strange even if the profit is the same as the current national budget due to the wide range of uses.

You can't pay for a vendor, a workshop, or a nobleman.

Well... Still, slime origin is not always known, but...

Besides, the Elvis family harvested (...) from the slime first.

The slime is everywhere (...).

The failure to harvest is due to the lack of effort of the other party, right?

The potatoes in the neighbor's field were so rich, they were so unfair that they made a profit.

That's ridiculous, there's no farmer like that. "

"Indeed.

And that's where Misty's Black Slime retreats, right? "

"Yes, I'd like you to work only in Elvis territory.

Ah, I'll lend one to Count Godwin's house... and I'll discuss it with Count Elvis in the evening while he's there. "

"If so, why not entrust the Count Godwin family with the manufacture and sale of SL fluids?

In any case, we can't produce all the SL liquid in this city, and we should only produce red, green, blue, and white. "

"Hmm... In the meantime, let's discuss the mist with the Count and make a deal between the lords."

Takeo thinks and says.

"That said, what happened to your homework?"

Ugh...

"Well... I don't think anything will come out that will lead to a proper product.

Please summarize what you have come up with as it stands. "

"Yes... I understand."

Tracy nodded weakly.

"After lunch, I'll go to the Howards Chamber of Commerce."

"... a new trick?"

"It's not a bad trick, but to make a prototype of a strange cloth.

I was thinking of making experimental equipment out of wood.

I'll buy it. "

"... I don't know, I understand."

"Yeah, you don't have to know.

If the prototype works, you'll see it. "

"Hah... okay."

Tracy nodded.
