Magi Craft Meister

30-08 Assembly

On July 23, Jen visited the Royal Castle of the Kingdom of Celluloa in "Conlon 3".

It is, of course, to hand over the 'monorail' prototype.

The king César welcomed himself to the house.

"You're fast at work," he said.

"Yes, Your Majesty. The promised monorail, the prototype is ready, so I brought it. I can't do the whole thing, so I'll make it a part and carry it in several parts."

"Oh, I see. Then let's set up a material storage area."

"It helps."

Since it was easy to see with the client, the King, Jen decided to take this opportunity to propose the installation of a test track as well.

Jen, who was put through to the Royal Castle's office, handed over the plan he had brought with him.

"I see..."

When César glanced through her eyes, she looked difficult.

"You need to build an orbit for the exam. At that time, I also know that it is an appeal to the people. The problem is the cost."

The Kingdom of Celluloa is said to be one of the largest countries in the small group. Its national budget is as high as ten or fifteen times that of the Kingdom of Klein.

but it was the result of imposing a great burden on the people, not something that could go on for long, and the tax rate had been lowered since King César took office.

In addition, it was also a reality that there was not so much room in the national budget for reparations for the scandals that had taken place during the previous king and for measures to combat hunger this spring.

I know what's going on, old man. You had a plan.

"I'll hold it here regarding costs. As a consideration, if you could temporarily grant me mining rights for the Ahi mine"

"Ahi mine? Sure, I think it was an old mine close to abandoned mine..."

Ahi Mine is a mine in the western part of the Kingdom of Celluloa with an ancient history.

But for that matter, the major minerals have been dug up, and they are as obsolete as mine.

"No, there should probably be a mineral vein deeper too"

Jen confidently says it out.

That too should have been reported by Deneb 23, commonly known as Raelis, in the fifth row (Quinta).

Actually, there's a big mineral range of voxels in the vicinity.

Boquisite, the raw material for aluminium, is unfortunately seldom picked in Penglai.

The moon 'Unique' seems to have stockpiles there, but Jen wanted to take this opportunity to keep more aluminum in hand.

Of course, after we have secured the required quantity, we also plan to notify the Kingdom of Cellular and have it used.

"Hmm, maybe it would be possible for you to do that. If that's okay with you, let's do it."

It was César who would prepare the documents quickly.

"It worked, old man."

Returning to Penglai, Jen told me that Old Man had gone according to your plan.

'That was it. Even though there are few aluminium applications so far, we don't want to stockpile them.'

It was only natural for an old man with a longer life span than a human to have a super long-term perspective.

"Right. Pure aluminum and duralumin as well as alumina seem to be widely used."

Alumina is a common name for aluminum oxide and has applications as a heat resistant material.

Ruby and sapphire were also the main ingredients of which were alumina.

Generally speaking, aluminium needs electricity to refine, but in this world where engineering magic can be used, it can be easily refined. Of course, that presupposes that we have the corresponding knowledge.

"To the Ahi mine, it would be good to send in Artisan (Smith) troops using 'Conlon 3'"

Craftsman (Smith) is a technical golem, and as his name suggests, craftsman and 'engineer'.

"Send in about twenty bodies, and the ore should be sent at a small transfer gate (warp gate)."

"Right. Anyway, it's only after completing the monorail body that I get permission to use the Ahi mine."

"I understand."

Jen finished carrying the members the next day, the next day and a total of three days.

And finally, it is the assembly of the vehicle body.

First, the production starts from the track that serves as the pedestal.

A series of tasks is carried out in the presence of magicians (Magicraftsmen) from the Kingdom of Celluloa.

After this, they are the ones who carry out the actual orbital installation.

"Reiko, please"

"Yes, Father."

With Reiko as his assistant, Jen began to assemble the orbit.

"... oh...!!

Surprising voices leak from the magicians (Magicraftsmen) watching.

That should be because Reiko, a little girl, gently lifted tons of steel.

"Okay, I need you to put that around here."

Jen's work with Reiko as his assistant is quick.

If the steel is bonded with "fusion", the orbit that immediately serves as a pedestal can be created.

Even when it comes to tracks, it is a monorail track that is 15 metres long and about 1 metre high.

Looks like a big average platform.

"Okay, like this"

Jen then proceeded to assemble the vehicle body.

The magicians (Magicraftsmen) watching are pale in face.

"'Fusion', 'Fusion' … All right, Reiko, bring that member here"

"Yes, Father."

Jen started work at 8: 00 a.m.

And by noon, the demo monorail had been completed.

"Ho, Lord Jin, this is amazing!

King César is in a good mood to see how things are going.

"I see, I watched the model, but the real thing still looks good"

Since it is a prototype, two pairs are organized, one is about 7 meters long, so the two pairs go together to 14 meters and fit on a 15-meter pedestal.

"Take a look inside"

"Oh, sure."

King César followed Jen into the vehicle with his accompanying SS captain Kirk Att and First Ministry of Technology Director Rattant.

"Ho...!

This seating arrangement is express train-style. In other words, a two-seater seat is attached to the left and right facing the direction of travel, in the form of a passage in the center.

"It's nice to have a seat."

It has cushioned material inside, so sitting for a long time won't make you tired, Jen explains.

"Ugh."

"Windows are safe and cannot be fully opened"

A window that won't open enough for your body to go through.

"The ceiling is fitted with a demon guide lamp, so it shouldn't mean it's dark in the car"

"Hmm, it's the end of the line."

"Well, the driver's seat,"

Jen explains that it is separated by a sturdy wall that prevents passengers from interfering with the driver.

"Let the passengers have a caretaker."

The conductor, even though it wouldn't make sense, was Jen, who replaced this with a caretaker.

"Well, the way you drive..."

The basics are starting and stopping. It can be operated with a lever, he explained.

"Oh, I want to see you run fast!

King César shrugged with a smudging voice.
