Magi Craft Meister

The following August 23rd.

Jen (the replacement doll (double)) had selected the land to be made into a field under Lorna's guidance.

Of course I'm with Reiko and Ann.

"Oh, wouldn't it be nice around here?"

Land slanted loosely towards the south. Small rivers are flowing, and water stools seem good.

On the north side is the coniferous forest. The north wind is also likely to prevent it.

"Yeah, but the land is thin here. I'm too skinny."

Indeed, grass is also a barely grown land. Reiko crouched, digging a little back into the ground with her hands. Sand and gravel, plus volcanic ashy clay.

Place dirt on your palms and show Jen.

"Uh, too little organic matter"

"Organic matter, is it?

Lorna tilted her neck. She is the mother of the Istalis, but she looks like she is in her late twenties.

Because of this, the Demons seem to live about five times longer than humans.

Lorna said she was 200 years old herself, five times the equivalent of 40, but it seems that aging begins when she is over 400, and she still has a youthful appearance.

Forget that.

"Yeah, it's organic. It's rotten soil or something. And then the soil is getting too hard, so we have to plow it deep."

Yesterday, I made bamboo and bamboo as farm tools. The whole thing is made of iron and only the tip of the teeth is made Adamantite, so plowing with the power of the golem will not degrade quickly.

"And then, soil improvement..."

Even Jen, you only have the knowledge to go through the street once.

As much as I've seen news about embedding paper diapers in the desert (in fact polymers with polymers = high absorbent resins), all I know is about roasting fields and the use of bean root bacteria.

"Well, nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and calcium are essential."

I remember about three elements of plant cultivation, so I decided to get ready from there.

"Oh, what is it? It."

Even if he tells it as it is, Lorna just tilts her neck. Somewhat adorable trick, but wife and has three children.

"Nitrogen is the nutrient that leaves and stems grow, phosphoric acid is the nutrient that flowers, fruit, and cali need to enrich their roots."

"Ha... Is that also the knowledge of Magic Engineer Magicraft Jazz"

"Come on, what do you think"

In the meantime, prepare rotten soil, grass wood ash, bone powder, oil broth, etc.

Rotten soil is something where coniferous leaves do not mix as much as possible. Because coniferous leaves may contain telepin-based oils, which hinder root development.

Grass wood ash is made by baking the trees and weeds that were growing on the plowed land.

Bone powder is recovered and reused that was discarded as garbage.

There was no oil. It is a residue that squeezes oil out of sesame oil, vegetable seed oil, etc., but these vegetable oils were not used, so it is inevitable that the oil will not come out either.

"Well, if you start with cromugi (= soba) or beans, you'll get fat sooner or later"

Roots left in the soil and shells after harvest can also be converted to organic fertilizers.

When I was teaching Lorna such simple knowledge, Istaris, who sometime came, was eager to hear it too.

"Istaris will succeed Mr. Lorna?

"Yes. I wish I could succeed my mother and take charge of the food supply"

Jen, who heard about it, will explain a lot more in detail.

Istaris' memory was good, and Jen was happy to talk about a lot of extras.

"Gold fat (kimpy), some fertilizer that I pay to buy, among other things, I've used something like dry (or something)."

"In addition to the three elements, I hope there are traces of calcium, magnesium and sulphur"

"The cobs at the root of the beans are symbiotic to the fungus that fixes the nitrogen in the air."

"The soil is called a mass grain structure, and when large grains are gathered together, the roots are also easier to breathe and grow well"

"Digging and filling shallow holes in vegetable chips can be a good fertilizer in a few months."

"If there was peat, it would also be fertilizer."

Istaris was listening diligently to just remember even if he didn't understand.

Because Jen also has only knowledge of home garden level, she runs out of stories to talk about.

"... that's about all you can tell me right now"

"Yes, thank you"

Jen thinks.

Perhaps the Demons underestimated technology because they were able to exercise more powerful magic than mankind.

And as the blood fades, so does the magic gradually weaken, to this day?

That's how while Jen was explaining to Lorna and Istaris, 20 'Agrees' had finished opening about two hectares of land.

At this rate, you'll finish opening ten hectares by the end of the day.

If we are to feed a hundred families, we will need fifteen tons when it comes to cereals. A minimum of 30 hectares of arable land is required for this purpose.

In fact, the "Mori Luo" family is about fifty, so it seems sufficient, but it is a arable land area that includes fallow land to prevent contiguity disorders.

That means I want 40 hectares if I consider harvest reduction.

From what Jen has seen, the current arable land area is almost thirty hectares. This would be critical and stockpiles would be irresistible.

"Sprinkle the cromugi now and see if you can make it."

From what Istaris has told me, the first frost falls from the end of October to the beginning of November. It is said that the first snow falls around the end of November.

"Kromgi is vulnerable to frost."

Jen didn't know, but they knew exactly what they had been cultivating all along.

"I can harvest it as early as two months."

It would work somewhat because it paved the field on a south-facing slope.

"And then... right! The world!"

"Huh?"

Jen, who was looking at the fields that Agree and the others were expanding on, came up with something and ran to the workshop.

Neither the person nor the substitute doll (double) has changed at all around here.

"Um, strength can be weak. But make the range as wide as possible…"

"Jin, what are you making?

Scion glances at the workshop. Istaris came after me. Unlike Jen himself, the running of the doll (double) instead exceeded that of Istaris, the Demon race.

"It's a frost-proof junction."

"Oh, can you do that?

Physical defensive junctions would prevent frost, but it is difficult to cover a large area of dozens of hectares.

But Jen knew a few ways to prevent frost.

In the interior of Japan and elsewhere, heavy and waste oils are burned to produce black smoke and turn fans in order to prevent the late frost damage in May.

The point is, you just have to prevent radiation cooling or circulate air to keep it from freezing.

"Physical junction with reduced intensity to the extreme. This should cover one hectare."

What Jen has created is a physical barrier (solid barrier) that is so weak that it becomes impractical: the strength of the normal 10,000 parts.

But enough to prevent daytime warmed air from spreading and also prevent cold air from entering. Moreover, because of its weak strength, there is no obstacle to human access.

"... heh... wow"

Theon also seemed to understand the effects immediately.

"Probably, but it will also prevent as much snow as wind flowers (kazana)"

With this, Cromgi's second period would be possible. I would prefer beans from spring to summer and cromugi from summer to autumn, Jen advised.

"Even if it's not a greenhouse, you're going to be able to do a little better with this..."

The weak thermal insulation will increase the temperature by a couple of degrees, so it is likely that the farming period can be extended for a month or two.

"I didn't expect you to crush the seeds of contention this way, that's Master Jin, the magic engineer Magicraft Jazz!

Istaris let go and praised Jen, and Jen lit up and scratched his cheek.

At the end of the day, I decided to show them the mining site in Zirconia.

It was behind a lateral hole dug into a cliff near the sea. Jen is surprised to see it there.

What a colorless, clear zirconia crystal.

"... why?

If you think about it well, it is extremely unnatural that colorless, transparent zirconia will be mined this much.

"'Acoustic Exploration (Sonar)'"

Sneaking around, the deposits continue pretty far back, but the fact that their distribution is geometric, or unnaturally neat shaped, hit me as if they were half artificial.

Strictly speaking, the zirconia you're picking is a mixture of additives.

Unfortunately, Jen is not very familiar with the gemstone system, so he didn't even know what it was doing.

In the meantime, I can easily imagine now that something has happened to this deposit in the past.

Well, since the purpose is not to reveal who I am, if I can pick the ingredients that I can use, I have decided to keep them as good now.

"My Lord, that's a wonderful invention."

Even in Penglai, you praised Jen.

"Yeah, I think I had a good idea, too. In this part of the world, it's practical if you're over there with high levels of free magic."

It will be a souvenir for other moderates.

If we are made to understand that there is a prospect of food self-sufficiency, the food problem has been solved as well. The moderates will listen to this one.

"Oh, we'll visit other moderates soon"

"This one, too, is just beginning to see how the extremists are doing."

"Yeah, let me hear it when it comes together"

"Yes, Master (My Lord)"
