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

Takeo said he was walking toward the institute.

"Ah... Dear Kitamizato..."

"True..."

I heard such a desperate voice, and when I looked at the voice, Dan and Cloy were there.

"Hello, shopping?

Takeo approaches the two of them and talks.

"Yes... Dear Kitamizato, I think you'll be able to do some drawings soon.

"I'm almost at Crane's, too.

The two of them report back.

"... are you both asleep well?

It's terrible under your eyes, isn't it?

"Whether you sleep or wake up, there's something about the ship..."

"I also dream that Crane will collapse..."

Two squeak.

Takeo said, "That? Why are you being pushed so hard? I think."

"For now, go to sleep.

You can't do a good job without enough sleep.

And I care too much.

It's my first time, so it's normal for me to fail.

"But... this is the first time that the ship's design will be as it is... and how far should I think about it?

"If I hang the container and collapse, there will be considerable damage... how sturdy do I have to make it?

Two squeak.

"Ahhh... although it is certainly one of the tasks to remove the anxiety material one at a time when making things that are unprecedented.

You both think a little too much.

Probably won't be able to clean it up when you start doing that, will you?

There are a lot of anxiety materials, and I can't assume everything from now on.

You have to separate it somewhere, and start making detailed models.

You can of course float it in water and test it, verifying the problem at various angles while looking at the model.

Next, make 1/4 size, wash out the failures and successes, make 1/2 size, and wash out again.

So I think we're going to build a real test machine, and we're going to do a movable test?

Takeo.

"... Dear Kitamizato, do you float in the water?

Dan looks out and asks Takeo.

"Huh?... Yeah, sorry for the amateur thought, but something just design definitely goes wrong.

It's not just a ship, it's any thing.

It would be nice to have something that you can deal with when you make a real thing, but it would be tough if there was a more fundamental cause, wouldn't it?

Besides, the ship floats in the water... more extreme, half of it is sinking, isn't it?

Then we can also interpret it as going forward while hitting something called water.

For example... if the tip of the ship is pointy... compared to the case where the tip is fine and flat, can't you think that floating in the same water is the same but different force needed to move forward from the idea of hitting water?

If you are flat on that, it may indeed float steadily, but it is also possible that the ship will shake heavily as it hits the water in the front as you proceed.

Then, if we focus on moving forward and make it thinner, the purpose is to transport the ship, so we can't be that elongated.

I need some thickness...

When I think about it that way, I think it's natural to conclude that there are things that I don't know if I float in the water and check, even if I think design is as good as this.

Takeo says.

"Sure... I never thought I'd make a model and float.

Well, that doesn't mean we can't just show you models, does it?

Dan nods.

"... no, that's just where I want to see it.

And if you're going to float in the water, even if you make it in detail, you have to figure out exactly how much load you're going to get on the load.

I don't think it's a simple idea to weigh 1/4 as well because it's a 1/4 size model.

Well, you mean there has to be a reason to convince tourists even if it's 1/4.

"Okay.

... I see direction coming!

Dan gets a little pale.

"Dear Kitamizato, what about me?

"Mr. Cloy needs to design something more confident.

We have to quantify the strength of the material, the limit loads on which the material bends, etc., to first design the strength that incorporates it.

It's made of iron first.

Will it initially be a verification of the basic figures?

In what mm thick steel, how much load is applied at 1 m before it begins to bend?

Check and see how it differs at angles at 0, 30, 45 and 60 degrees.

And quantify it once you do the validation.

Ultimately, we have to consider how far from where we hang the load to build the pillars of the mold, and how much force it takes there, and how to handle it, before we model it.

What Mr. Cloy needs is confidence that he will not collapse at the design stage.

"Dear Kitamizato, in fact, how can I quantify it and let it live?

Cloy asks.

"Ah... ask Tracy or Ringtone upstairs at the lab.

You must have had the dossier for sure.

I think if you speak to the ground-floor test platoon stuffing, you'll call me.

Takeo says, "Surely there was a basic formula in the photograph at the royal castle," he thinks.

"Ha... then soon.

"No."

Takeo stops Cloy.

"" Huh?

"I don't have enough sleep to see them both, I can't do a good job with that face and head condition.

Let's get this over with.

Go back and sleep without thinking today.

Don't even think about it.

"" Huh... ""

"Come and get it the day after tomorrow.

Until then, rest! That's good, right?

"" Huh.

"Here, go home and go to sleep.

"Okay... I'll go home and sleep.

"Dear Kitamizato, excuse me.

Dan and Cloy walk towards the Roach Workshop.

"... I admit you're willing, but are you being a little too serious?

I wish I could design it a little more loosely.

Takeo groaned as he watched the two backs.
