Let's Manage The Tower
(8) To further development (Part 5)
"So, this is the last report, but... if this succeeds, the world will definitely change."
Everyone got nervous when Sarasa put it in front of them.
Apart from Luca's case, the other two reports were potentially significant changes for the Crown.
From the foreground of Sarasa, it will be an incredible change.
Attendees are drinking hard saliva and waiting for Sarasa's next words.
"Kaiseko-san has been researching and developing long-distance communication, but he has completed some theory."
In Sarasa's words, the atmosphere of the attendees became subtle.
"Is the theory complete?
Schmidt leaned his neck and asked Sarasa.
"Yes, that's right."
Until now, Kaosuke has developed various magical instruments, but has been showcasing all the completed objects.
But this Sarasa story is just a theory.
It would be natural for the merchants who sell goods to turn their heads.
"As long as there is a real thing, theory alone is the way to make judgments..."
Sarasa blocked Schmidt with her right hand when she tried to continue.
"There's a good reason why you don't have the real thing, not Kaiseko-sama."
With that in mind, Sarasa began to talk about the new theory of telecommunications that Kaiseki had in mind.

In the first place, it can be said that magic equipment in general, but basically the higher price is due to magic and sacred power problems.
Those who can consciously use magic and sacred powers are fine, but there are others who cannot consciously use those powers.
If you can use it consciously, it will be called a wizard, so most people don't use it consciously.
The biggest problem is how to secure the power to move the tool.
As long as you can deal with magic and sanctity from the beginning, there is no problem, but you can't say that.
For this reason, magic equipment can be divided into disposable items that originally contain magic, or types that can be used by replenishing magic.
With regard to the latter, it is difficult to maintain without hiring a wizard who is good at magic, so the cost of maintaining it is stupid.
In contrast, if the former uses advanced technology, it naturally has a lot of magic to use.
You'll need stupid materials to secure its magic.
For this reason, most of the magic tools that are normally found in this world are simple tools that do not require much magic.
One stone was a recyclable charge-type magic stone developed by Kaiseki.
With the advent of this magic stone, we were able to secure a certain amount of magic at that price, but there are still limits.
The magic required for communication equipment is not very good, but this charging type of magic stone is very hard to catch up with.
If you try to build a communication device that you can freely reach anywhere you want, it will need to be so big that you can't lift it by hand.
A single room can be used to make the type of communication equipment to be installed, but to do so requires maintenance costs similar to those of small countries' national budgets.
There can be no organization that can cite such wasteful expenses, and the development of telecommunications equipment was said to be a dream.
It is the same for examiners.
Kaiseki has the advantage of being able to use the power of God, and as Isnani developed, communication equipment using the power of God is also incorporated into the crown card.
But even though it was divine, I couldn't escape the same fate as magic.
In order to secure the necessary magic, we simply needed rare materials or could only substitute for costly maintenance.
Somehow, I tried and mistakenly tried to find cheap materials to secure the magic and divinity I needed, but I couldn't do it.
Naturally, there are so many materials that retain magic that they are rare monsters in the first place.
♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦
That was the story Schmidt had heard from Kaiseki.
Since then, I have never heard that Kaiseki succeeded in making it with inexpensive materials in order to secure magic.
After seeing Schmidt's expression, Sarasa shook her head and started talking about a new "theory" that Kaiseki had in mind.
"This theory is probably completely different from Schmidt's approach."
"What do you mean?
"This conversation is just a way of securing the magic to make remote calls, not the communication equipment itself."
The meaning became less and less clear, and most people, including Schmidt, leaned their necks.
In the first place, Kaiseki didn't tell Schmidt directly, but he sandwiched Salasa between them.
If we actually try to implement the theory that Kaiseki came up with this time, we will need a huge budget.
No matter how much Schmidt is the head of the merchant division, it's not a substitute for personal approval like the magic equipment we've had.
That is why we sought the agreement of the entire merchant division through our supervisor, Sarasa.
With that premise alone, you can see that this conversation is of a completely different nature.
The faces of those gathered tightened.
You can even see how frightened the budget is that you have to go all the way through supervision.
And the prediction I didn't want you to hit was undoubtedly correct.
The theory that Kaiseki came up with is not a small thing such as a battery until now.
The early conversation was about building something like a magical power plant.
However, even a power plant does not generate magic on the spot.
It was about building magic paths throughout the city and laying magical formations in the city itself.
Simply put, the magic that floats naturally and cannot be used normally is transformed into a force that can be used by laying magic formations throughout the city.
Regularly build buildings in the city and magically connect them to each other to create a huge magical formation throughout the city.
Most of the magic to maintain that magical formation uses natural magic, so you don't need to secure a large amount of material each time.
The magic you need is as much as the magic you need to run the facility, and it's enough for a middle-class wizard.
Of course, just building a facility and generating magic is useless.
However, the magic generated can be used for long-range communication and for the city's infrastructure.
The executives who heard Sarasa explain the theory in an easy-to-understand way rang their throats.
Among them, Schmidt, who was the magical instrument that was the most developed by the research assistant, recovered as soon as possible.
"In short, the initial investment is quite expensive, but there is a possibility that magic equipment that has never been made before can be made?
The boulder was Schmidt, who was at the top of the merchant division.
It has acquired the essence of the theory that Kaiseki conceived.
Originally conceived as a theory to create communications equipment that uses a lot of magic, but it doesn't have to be used only for communications equipment.
That's why we can use it for magic tools to turn on lights throughout the city, and we can find many other ways to use it.
"Simply put, that's what I'm talking about."
Some of Sarasa's answers looked like they were about to pass out.
For adventurers, if the Crown Card is a revolutionary tool, this study aid theory will be revolutionary for merchants and the crafts sector.
It is not a metaphor or anything that Sarasa said at the beginning: "Change the world."
"Things aren't just crowns, Razek Amamiya will be involved."
In that Sarasa's words, do you manage to reason (?) Those who keep nodding.
We need to see the city itself as a huge magical formation.
It is natural that the state that manages the city will be involved.
"It depends on what happens in the future, but please be aware that this is the case first. There should be a discussion on how to plan for the future."
That's what Sarasa ended up saying.
The last story was reported only to gain a common understanding of the stage before actually starting the plan.
It is impossible to hide it because the expense will be enormous.
Then I decided that it would be better to speak from the beginning.
The story is shared not only with the merchant division, but also with all departments of the Crown, as well as with high-ranking Razek Amamiya officials.
And the theory that came to mind was going to be a big transition for Razek Amamiya and the Crown in the future.
