Since I was reincarnated as a poor farmer in another world, I decided to lay bricks and build a castle

“So I decided to build a ship.”

"Can't you take a boat?" I see, that might be a good idea. The bigger the ship, the bigger the cargo. It might be a better idea to use the Spirit Stone I acquired as a weapon than to use it as a weapon. "

Having completed my deliberation meeting with Ai, I have somewhat consolidated my policy of using Spirit Stones.

For now, I won't use all the spirit stones I collected, and I'll keep my spare.

decided to utilize more than half of it for the power mechanism.

The prototype was already ready.

The Spirit Stone recovered by Norn from the longitudinal pits created by Rassen in the land of Atmos.

Besides, Ai drew a magic circle.

It's not a very large spirit stone, but if you pass magic power through the spirit stone that depicts the magic circle, hardened brick parts will emerge.

Of course, it's not just the parts that come out.

That part spins in response to magic.

Components like gears made of hardened bricks that are much harder than poor metals just keep spinning.

The good thing about this power mechanism type magic tool is that it's highly efficient.

I was able to make quite a few magic tools from a small spirit stone.

And even though it is small, it is quite powerful, and it is hard to break.

However, it had the same repair function as a magic weapon, so even if it was broken, it would be fixed if it had hardened bricks.

Then, by making parts other than magic tools that connect to the gear, you can convert them into greater forces and use them.

The magic train on the Vulcan line also has a small power mechanism, which is what drives the larger train.

In addition, small size meant that the amount of magic power consumed would be small.

It was difficult for ordinary people to handle a large magic weapon.

If I didn't have some magic power, it would be stolen for the entire time I started it and kept using it.

However, this power mechanism type magic tool does not require much magic power, so even ordinary people can operate it if they have magic stones that accumulate magic power.

And like Galius, who saw this magic tool, it went well with the ship.

Even this magic tool, which has only a small gear, can be used on ships floating above the water to make it more efficient.

If the size of the ship is increased, the loading capacity can be increased, and therefore the efficiency is better than that of the train.

"But I don't want to be on a boat." There are other people who can build a ship, but I came all the way here to tell you that for a reason. "

"Of course, Galius." I wanted to leave it to Galius to build a power ship fitted with this power mechanism type magic tool. Galius here at the Vulcan steel mill. "

"That's a very kind offer." But wouldn't it be better to build a ship somewhere where the trees are more accessible than here at the steel mill? ”

"No, that's why I'm here." I'd like to make this power ship out of iron. That's why this Vulcan steelworks is just the place for you. We can produce Vulcan steel, the fine steel made from Lassen's prison cauldron. "

"... do you want to make a ship out of Vulcan steel?" If you put iron in the water, it would look rusty, but it would float properly before that? "

"Actually, I don't seem to have been able to study that area." The Sky Kingdom and Barca are not water-rich places. That's why I think it's interesting. Why don't you give it a try, Galius? "

"Hmm, that sounds interesting." Doesn't that mean you don't even know that knowledgeable Aye? It is the arrogant who creates it. Isn't this a development that seems quite interesting? "

"Alright. If so, get on with it." That said, it was necessary to increase the size from the beginning. First of all, I think we need to confirm the operation so that we can properly attach the power mechanism type magic tool to the ship and move it. So, I'll wash out a lot of problems and improve it. "

"I understand. I'll leave it to the clumsy ones, Lord Alphonse." I'm going to finish it off with an interesting boat. "

The Barca steelworks are built around the prison cauldron of Lassen.

I've come all this way to bring this story to Gallius, who manages it, in order to harness the iron.

Vulcan Steel's primary purpose is to be used in silver smelting, but I wanted something else to be used as iron.

By the way, this Vulcan steelworks is not made of iron, so it needs to be imported from another place.

The plan was to bring the river to this Barca mill for a terrain change, but isn't there an iron mine just upstream or downstream?

If so, it would be possible to bring iron aboard a power ship.

Well, if I didn't, I would have built a magic train.

This magic tool can be used to power trains that can move on the ground regardless of the flow of the river and have a sufficient load capacity.

That's right.

It may be possible to ask Galius to unify the standards so that he can properly use the magic equipment, whether it's a ship or a train.

Thus, the Barca Steel Mill decided to build an iron ship as the first use of the Barca steel produced here.
