My First Trip was to Another World

I'm back from Milgia.It's late tonight, so the delivery of alcohol is tomorrow.

In the meantime, let's start a carbonated water production experiment.The fact that I am breathing normally means that the composition of the atmosphere is no different from that of the Earth.Air contains carbon dioxide.Collect the carbon dioxide and dissolve it in water.

Holding a cup full of waves of water with both hands, she groans...

"Is something funny?"

Luna wondered how suspicious my manners were.

"I was thinking of making carbonated water.It's bubbly water. "

"Foam? Soap?"

I guess my explanation was wrong.Luna still has a strange face.

"No, it's good water. Leeds and Claire are looking at the real thing, so you can ask."

Explaining it to my senses will use the knowledge I learned at school.Then, it seems like it will take a lot of time to explain.Therefore, it is better to leave the explanation of the actual product to Claire.

"Ah, magic water. You said you'd make it, but can you really make it?"

I should have asked Claire for an explanation, but here's the question.Well, let's answer to the best of our ability.

"In conclusion, I can make it. The foam is air.Carbon dioxide in the air, technically.You can collect it well and dissolve it in water. "

"Really? That merchant said magic...."

"It's more science than magic.If only we knew how to do it, we could make it for everyone... "

For example, mixing baking soda and citric acid.It's one of the experiments that elementary school students can do.However, since baking soda and citric acid combine to form something salty, it has a subtle saltiness.

"Anyone? What's Kagaku?"

Shit, I can't convey the concept of science.I'm not as detailed as I can explain.

"Think of it as a magical subspecies.It's magic on Earth. "

In fact, science is magical.Beyond the bounds of my understanding, I can only see magic.Well, in this case, it's chemistry rather than science, maybe.

"So... what is carbonated water...?"

Luna asked afraid. That's right.No one has answered the question.

Leave the explanation of the carbonated water to Claire, and I'll concentrate on the carbon dioxide.

... we can't get together. What's wrong?

Metals could be extracted from the ore.It has also been successful in collecting nitrogen.The principle is the same. We should be able to do it.

... I don't see any sign of gathering at all.Carbon dioxide must be present... how long?What? What percentage of carbon dioxide is in the air?

"Ah! I can't do this!"

The concentration of carbon dioxide in the air is around 0.04%. Even if one liter of air is collected, only about 0.4 milliliters of this carbon dioxide is collected.

What's wrong?

Was it bad?

"No, we don't have enough carbon dioxide in the material.I think it will take quite a while. "

How many hours does it take to make a glass of carbonated water?Not at all realistic. We change our approach here.

I wonder if I can do something with magic tools.

If it can be generated by leaving it alone, it will take a day.I can drink it if I set it the day before.An increase in the number of units installed would also solve the volume problem.Spend magic with a capacitor.It is OK because there is excess.

How does that work? Tell me.

Lily jumped into the conversation.You must have been interested in hearing about magic tools.

"Gather carbon dioxide in the air and dissolve it in water.That's all I have to do. "

That explains air and carbon dioxide.The composition of the atmosphere is not necessarily the same as that of the Earth, so it is just a vague explanation.Well, being able to breathe without any problems means at least the same proportion of oxygen and carbon dioxide.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"In the first place, I wonder... what was that?"

Carbon dioxide.

Lily and Luna couldn't hide their confusion.It's hard to explain what's invisible.

"You can't see that, can you?I have no idea how to collect it. "

Is that still difficult? You can't judge with your eyes what a clear gas is in front of you.I can't see it, so I can't find out if it was collected.I wonder what I can do with the sample.

"For example, it's pretty much in the breath we exhale."

"Hmm? Well, if someone breathes in, you can collect it."

Yeah, that's an ant, too.But I don't like it very much.

"I think it's very efficient, but who drinks it?Doesn't it make you sick to be drinking what you vomit? "

"Ah... it's disgusting. I'm ashamed to say so."

That's how Luna shook her neck.The proposal to collect breath from breath is rejected.

There are also means of burning trees to get carbon dioxide, but it is difficult considering the amount of firewood consumed.Selling carbonated water is likely to require a considerable amount of firewood.If I suck, the trees run out of the surrounding woods.

"So I want to collect it from the air somehow."

"Okay, I'll try my best."

I know it's a difficult order, but I'll let you do your best.The air manipulating magic equipment has completed blowers and air purifiers so far.It shouldn't be technically impossible.

But how did people make carbonated water...?It must have been drunk a long time ago on Earth. It's strange.

The biggest challenge is still how to separate carbon dioxide.I wish there was a way to split it... ah!

"It's dry ice!"

"Huh? What?"

"When the air temperature is lowered for the first time, carbon dioxide becomes the first individual.There are other conditions, but I wonder if we can pull out only carbon dioxide. "

I wonder if the dry ice temperature was minus 79 degrees.A higher temperature would have been fine if the liquid had passed through, but it would have required a pressure of more than 5 atmospheres.In any case, it's better than making a filter to separate carbon dioxide.

"Hmm... I think it would be easier to divide it normally."

The contemplative Leeds suddenly opened his mouth.

"You can't tell, can you? I'm struggling with that."

"You can smell it."

No, you don't! and swallowed the words.It could be a mysterious feeling that only Leeds knows.I'll leave it to you for now.

I don't know what carbon dioxide smells like.

Because I've been taught that it's colorless, transparent, tasteless and odorless.In the meantime, believe in Leeds' special abilities, I'll try the Dry Ice plan on my own.Adopt what works better.

And the next day. Luna, Lily and Leeds will make a soda fountain with a carbonated water generator.I won't be able to do it soon, so I'll deliver the liquor first.

Delivery to King, Raymond and Bonanza.I'm going to the royal castle...

"Claire, I'm sorry. Can you find Raymond?"

Raymond is Claire's uncle, so Claire will be the one looking for him.

"Okay, but what if I'm not in King's Landing?"

"Ask the Adventurers Guild to leave a message."

Raymond is not always free.If I'm not in King's Landing, I need to meet you at the right time.

"Copy that. I'm coming."

Another delivery destination, but I'll ask Irving to use it.

"Irvin, go to Bonanza.If Bonanza is free, I'll meet you at the King's Landing. "

"Eh...?"

Irvin turned to us with a subtle expression.

Busy?

"... I'm free."

What, you just don't like it?You said it was just a job to send a message.

I'll take care of it.

That's all I said, I threw a round at Irving.You're all set. Let's move on to the Imperial Castle.

Wait for the king in his usual room.I was at work today, and I felt a sign of the King while I was watching.

After a while, the King's sign began to move along with several human signs.And as I approached this room, the door was opened.

"Hey, I'm in your way."

When he spoke lightly, the king raised his tongue and called out.

"Mmm! Does that mean... you've got alcohol!?"

The king's face looks polite and happy.Did you look forward to it so much?

The king sat on the sofa with a smile, and there stood an old man near him.That's unusual... Usually, I'm close to leaving the room.

"Oh, I don't know if it's the liquor I want, but the purchase was successful."

That's what I said, I took out the barrel and put it next to the sofa where the king sits.It's huge when I look at it again. Bonanza is big enough to fit in.

"Can I go inside again?"

"Please do. I want to hear your thoughts.If I have a good reputation, I will buy more. "

When I said that, I broke up with my closest associate.

Well, excuse me.

I knew the king would taste it, but this old man seems to taste it.Well, it's also poisonous.Naturally?It is too dangerous for the King to drink a foreign alcohol he doesn't know well.

When a faucet was attached to the cask, it was cleverly tilted and poured into the cup.I'm used to it... do you carry that faucet and cup with you?The old man seems serious, but his eyes seem to change.It's just a guard.

Put your mouth on the cup next to you. Then....

"Boo-oo!"

The liquor contained in my mouth was blown out vigorously.

"What's wrong!? Damn it!?"

I hurry to speak, but my closest friend answers with a cool face.

"Excuse me. That's not true.It was too thick, so I followed it. "

"Didn't you say you wanted something dark?"

When the king ordered it, the king said, "It's a pretty strong drink."I didn't think you'd be surprised by the intensity.

"... oh, I see. This barrel is pre-hydrogenated."

Close relatives nodded as they fell into their hearts.

"Hydrolysis? You mean we're going to splash it?"

"No, when you sell this kind of liquor, you dilute it about twice in advance."

You mean sell it after it's flooded?Is it a regular ant?Well, if it's too dark, I'll have to.I don't know much about alcohol, but I don't think you can drink alcohol strong enough to catch fire.

"Heh... I didn't know that.The guy who sold this didn't say that either. "

"You've been judged to understand without telling me."

Was it common sense among merchants to dilute with water?If so, I'm worse off if I don't know.Let's be careful in the future.

So, how's the quality?

"It won't be bad. How much do you plan to sell?"

Is the flavour the first point?The price... I wonder what to do.I am buying this barrel for fifty gold coins.If it's a simple calculation, you could sell it for 80 gold coins.It is also within the budget that I heard in advance.

However, it is the price of one barrel.If this is diluted to about twice, is it okay to take the amount of 2 barrels?Let's give it a spray.

"This time, they gave it away at a fairly low price.So I want to sell it a little cheaper for 160 gold coins. "

"Eh...?"

The proximity and the king's face clouds violently.Bad... is it too expensive?

What's wrong?

"Can I make it that cheap?"

There you go!

I was worried and lost it.This amount seems to have been cheap enough.It's twice what I expected.

"Just this once, I couldn't help it and it was worth it.That's not gonna happen next time. "

This is true, only when the opponent is crushed.If you intend to buy it regularly, buy it at the right price.If the brewery collapses because I can't afford to buy it, there will be no ex-boyfriend.

"I see. There's another one."

"Depends on your reputation."

"I understand. Let's put our opinions together."

The civilian said so and gathered several of his companions to bring out the barrels.

I thought the king was going to have it all to himself, but apparently everyone in the castle will drink it as well.Besides, I think I can hear a lot of opinions.I'll leave the rest to you and meet Claire.

"I'm going because I still have something to do.Let me know when you have your opinion. "

Hmm. That was great.

The king said, worrying about the outside of the door.I guess I can't help saying that I'm still at work and I want to drink that liquor.Hang in there till you're done with your work.

Now, Raymond.He seems to like quite a bit of alcohol, so he seems to have a good opinion.
