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

"I just have an idea that the lanterns are going to sell there.

It's likely to be used in towns and villages when going to another house at night or something.

I don't want it to be too expensive because it would be nice to help improve the lives of the residents, and if you can produce some mass, it would also increase the work of the evening fogs.

I hear there aren't many bad things.

Takeo says as he thinks.

"Where would you like it?

Tracy asks.

"In addition to the fact that Steno Technologies has quite a pile of work to do, we're going to take care of it with a shield, and we're going to make a request for material production.

Satella Manufacturing does things like making machines and researching containers, and it's involved in carriages, so you don't seem to be able to afford to handle small items, do you?

Should we stop now because the Howorth Chamber of Commerce is going to be stabbed by Monica if she asks for any more?

Takeo says as he thinks.

"Then we have to find a new workshop.

But... it's hard when it's just a lantern, so I'm going to ask you for a few more points to help me get better at it, right?

The ringtone says.

"Mr. Suzune has come to resemble the director, too.

Well, I'm sure of what you're saying.

So you're asking for something else?

Probably use a lot of glass if you're right, so it looks like you can commercialize it in a workshop that specializes in glass finishing or a workshop that makes glass.

Says Tracy as she thinks.

"Right... hmm... shall we think a lot about glass?

Where are you making bell sounds, scope convex and concave lenses?

"Mm-hmm... the final finish is Mr. Baines, but I know of a workshop that manufactures glass and processes and delivers it to some extent... is that good there?

I make glasses lenses and I'm sure of my arm.

It also finishes the request perfectly.

Looks like they make most of the alcohol lamp glass containers here too.

It seems this workshop ripens everything from daily necessities to special requests.

The ringtone says.

"Ho... looks like you're going to make... good quality glass with these lenses.

"It's very transparent.

I don't know if it's the formula or the addition or subtraction of fire when I ask for it in a strange place, but the light distorts when I see the finished product.

The workshop has no distortion, so it's a first-class product.

"You're reliable, aren't you?

"Yes, it's expensive, but it makes what you want.

It's just... at first glance, you refuse... do you want to tell your parents and prepare a reference?

"Ahhh... right.

Yeah, if you can prepare a reference, you should.

Ringtone, please ask Mr. Bradley and the others to prepare it.

Ma, if you can't, I'll hit the other one.

"Yes, I'm probably fine.

"No, Kitamizato, you're a privileged class, not a frame of sight or anything," Tracy thought to herself next to Takeo and Ringtone.

"And a shield, though.

This is what I think right now.

Takeo takes out his notebook and keeps it open in front of Tracy.

"... you don't do it like an existing curved surface, do you?

Tracy says as she looks at the rough paintings written by Takeo.

"Yeah, it's hard to process.

On top of that, it would be the shock mitigation treatment that is curved.

but there is a question in the first place whether the shield needs impact mitigation with a curved structure.

Takeo says.

"I do think... curved surface machining had the purpose of reducing shield deformation.

Because they won't wave if they keep their strength on at all times.

The ringtone says.

"Ahhh... trees contract, right?

I see... ma, that's as good as good.

What Tracy asks for is specifications that can be purchased for the same amount, including processing costs, and can withstand small gun attacks.

Well... just to be clear, as it stands now, it penetrates like you have paper even if you let it stand in front of a small gun.

We have to prevent it somehow.

"It's a matter of concern for His Majesty and the Director... is there actually a way to deal with it as a matter of fact?

Tracy asks.

"The full plate of iron used by the Knights will not penetrate.

So at a minimum, we will incorporate iron plates.

but I believe that the iron plate is as thin as possible due to the cost story.

"I will investigate the thickness of the iron plate used for the full plate.

And the thickness of the iron plates that would be commercially available, too.

... are you aiming for the thinnest?

Tracy said, "Are you okay?" He asks.

"Thin means cheaper raw materials, and the cheaper the better is not normal.

... Let me tell you the answer first.

Mr. Tracy, there is something called a structure that does not yield to high pressure even if the members are thin.

This will also overlap with what Mr. Cloy is thinking this time.

For example... this is how... "

Takeo spaces and places the pencil, spreading the paper over it and placing it.

"The paper is now stretched over the pencil and placed, but when you put the cup... well this happens.

When Takeo places the cup on the paper, the paper falls from the support of the pencil and with the cup it falls to the desk.

"Right... of course.

"Yes, of course.

In today's world's opinion, we take the method of thickening the paper and strengthening the paper itself to the pressure of the cup.

When Takeo put the cup on top of several sheets of paper like earlier, the paper withstood and the cup never fell to his desk.

"Well... right.

"There I... thought..."

Takeo begins to fold one piece of paper in steps, then places the cup on the spreading desk.

"Huh?... can't you crush it?

"Yeah, it doesn't crumble when you apply your hand a little like this even though it crumbles in one piece.

... This is a truss structure.

Even in this era, it is a structure that would be used empirically, traditionally, in architecture, but...

I've checked the literature I can get, but thank you. There's no proper theory. That's an equal field.

Well, I guess it's hard to calculate backing in this era at the point of using triangular functions, but...

Ringtones, triangular functions, right?

"Ah... sin, cos... tangest?

"It's a shame, well, I wouldn't say even calculus, because triangular functions are the foundation of physics and structure.

So, the ringtone has a review, and will you lecture Tracy as the underlying idea?

Well, in the future, when you make something, you should think of it as a lecture for the general purpose of supporting it with calculations.

Strict calculations are not necessary now.

Do you want to lecture?

Where's the blackboard?

"Oh, I'll have it ready in a minute.

"Long time no see math..."

"I'm auxiliary.

The lecture in the lab began.
