Fushi no Kami: Rebuilding Civilization Starts With a Village

After breaking up with the brick planning team for the furnace and kiln, we, the flight planning team, went after Mr. Quid.

Mr. Quid, a peddler, is now the master of the castle of Ichikuni, where shops are located.

When I opened the shop, I came politely to report that the business was doing well as if it were a lie and was operating out of reach of other cities.

Somehow I've known him for a long time, so I'm going to ask Mr. Quid to hire me.

"Ash-kun! Welcome, how can I help you today? Anything I can do!

I've been a lovely person for a long time, but since I had the store, I've been serving more and more pleasant customers.

Even with a small child like me, customers only seem to welcome customers with a smile.

It is a professional consciousness worthy of protecting one's castle.

There are no more peddlers who were switching change from villagers.

This may be what it's like to make a person.

"Actually, there was something I wanted to make and I came looking for the ingredients."

Mr. Quid's eyes flash sharply when I tell him my purpose.

"It's been a long time since Ash-kun made things... ah, no, you've been doing a lot of things outside the city walls. Anyway, it's been a long time since you talked to me. What are they made of?

Behind my eyes, I'm still dealing with customers with a polite attitude.

Why is it that only the eyes have found their prey? I don't have eyes like this when I shop all the time.

"Let's make a little flying toy."

"Is that a toy? Fly?... like a boomerang?

Although it is the first step in aircraft technology, it is a kind of educational toy in previous life.

Is the system the same? Do you call it the top developmental model? "

"I see, what Ash-kun does is completely different. It's not easy to understand."

Mr Quid seems to want to know more about your interest.

Is curiosity a remnant of the pedestrian era?

No, Mr. Quid is still a dealer who travels to other territories and exchanges goods on his own, so it's okay to call him an active merchant.

Either way, I wonder if we can't be sure of something new or unusual. Even with me, I would like various people to see the possibility of flying in the sky, and I would like to get interest from many sources and cooperation if possible.

"When you're done, please take a look at Quid. I'll call it a show."

"Oh, thank you! Now, I will study the price with all my expectations. Hey, I'm looking forward to it!

Mr. Quid takes me to a warehouse where he stores various materials with his cheeky face.

I also have a cheeky face because I can expect a discount.

"In the meantime, good quality paper or cloth. Flexible and lightweight wood. Do you need any more lacquer that will be an adhesive?"

"Hmm, please come here for now. No, no, I'm looking forward to what you can do."

The rubber-powered paper plane is going to make the skeleton out of wood and flesh it out with paper or cloth.

As long as it's just shaping, it's not that hard. Adjustments in weight, balance, and wing length are necessary, but if the whole can be made lightly, some can be ignored.

The biggest problem is the lack of rubber.

Since it is a rubber-powered paper plane, there will be no engine part to turn the propeller. Compared to building a real aircraft, you encountered the same problem of not having an engine.

I have an alternative in mind. One is turbid tea as a glider without a propeller.

And the other one is just turning the propeller. To that end,

"I'd like to show you some strings made of animal tendons and intestines."

Use animal materials that may replace rubber for bows and string instruments.

"Well, then, how many did you get from your village, Ash?"

"Is this Mr. Van's prey?"

"That's what it is. Ah, maybe Jikil's stuff is mixed up too."

That's right. Jikil must have become a good hunter now.

If I can, I would like to complete it with materials that are close to my home, my mentor, and my friends.

After selecting the prototype material, Hermes looks around and sharpens his lips.

"Instead of iron, you don't have any metal."

"Yes, the metal is too heavy."

Although it is a small model, it cannot be considered to be made of metal unless it is developed with a fairly good electric motor. I don't think it is possible even if it is made of aluminum.

"But isn't it really made of iron? At least I thought it was metal."

"As far as I know, the whole thing wasn't made of iron. It seems that a lighter aluminum alloy was the mainstream for a long time."

When I fought the werewolf, I remembered the knowledge around here.

In the world famous Great War, aluminum became a strategic resource because the main material of the aircraft at that time was aluminum alloy.

Aluminum is refined from the boxing site, but it requires a lot of power.

In a world without power plants, it is probably thanks to the fantasy of werewolves that aluminum is distributed cheaply in the form of white cargo.

Once refined, aluminum is a convenient metal to work with. It is a waste to be underutilized in this world.

Aluminum. Sure, it's light, but it's not that sturdy.

"Yeah, it's kind of scary when you think about flying over there. But in front of the aluminum alloy, it seemed to be wood and cloth."

Hermes looks at the wood and cloth at hand.

Yes, that's why I was flying.

"Old people are amazing."

"I think the first person to do something should already be respected."

I'm sure Hermes had the same dream and was fooled that I couldn't do it, but I finally managed to do it, believing that the sky could fly.

Their work is left in the book because what they did was so great and so rightly respected.

To tell someone who dreams the same after civilization has perished that dreams can come true.

"The first person to do it....."

Hermes is putting a lot of pressure on your chin.

It was an expression of empathy, a vision of the person buried in time, and the first jealous smile on honor in history.

"I'm flattered, damn it."

"Yeah, I'm flattered. So let's do our best to envy Hermes, too."

The description of the first manned flight success in history can only be given to someone from an ancient civilization.

However, the description of the great man who once revived the uninterrupted technology is not yet in anyone's hands in this world.

"Isn't that wonderful? A dream story technique that was stolen by the tyrants of time. The first one to brilliantly revive it. How many future generations will look up and envy the sky?"

That's good.

Hermes slowly loosens your mouth.

"I can't help it. I'm gonna have to put up with this!

I'll do my best to help you endure the inspiring Hermes.
