Survival in Another World With My Master
Episode 249 - Iced Beer Servers
After making a prototype of the refrigerator and consulting with Merti, the test operation of the ice refrigerator and ice shop was decided. It has been tested in a number of restaurants in Melinesburg and seems to be gaining popularity so far.
But with that came new demands, so I was working in the R&D lab again to deal with them.
"... so what are you making this time?
It was the Ifrita who came there. Looks like he's been in the R&D lab a lot lately. Aren't you going to work more as a princess? I thought it would be troublesome to get angry, so I left it.
"I use ice to make a device that allows me to drink cold beer."
"... why?
The ifrita asks because she is seriously confused.
"You know the refrigerator is being tested at a restaurant in Merynesburg, right?
"Yeah, Sylvie told me. It doesn't look popular. I just gave you a little advice, but I appreciated it."
"Yeah, there's a store in the refrigerator for the sample that cools down the liquor. It's like I've had a lot of fun with my customers."
I see?
"As a result, the refrigerator has become used to cool down alcohol and is rarely used to cool down and store the original ingredients."
This isn't the end of the line.
"Yeah, I fell down at the end. Moreover, the refrigerator capacity does not allow for a large amount of cooling. So, there was a request to do something about it, and suddenly I had to make a cooling device for alcohol using ice."
What I'm making is an ice beer server. Cool it through beer in an ice-cooled metal tube. Metal tubes are coiled and copper is used for the time being. Because the thermal conductivity should have been high. I wonder if other materials are better given their corrosion resistance...? Well, it's a prototype for now, so that's fine.
"All right, let's do the experiment. Maybe it'll work."
"Are you confident?
"It's something that was already made in my world, so is this. Ice, ice."
"I'm not very good at ice magic...."
While saying that, Ifrita magically made me some pom pom pom and fist-size ice. Well, from the name and appearance, I think I'm better at flame-based magic.
I appropriately hammered the ice that the ifrita gave me and laid it on the coil tube. Then he puts a funnel in the outlet of the liquor and pours water there.
Hmm, what do you do when you actually serve alcohol? I don't think so. I'm just going to pour it into the funnel. There are also hygienic problems. Just connecting the barrel directly to this tube won't let the liquor flow. Over there, I'll connect the carbonated gas cylinders and pressurize them, but there's nothing like that here... Can you talk to Isla later and make a magical instrument that emits a very weak wind magic?
Could that be done by pressurizing it instead of a carbonated gas cylinder? The question is whether wooden barrels can withstand pressurization... well, is it okay to put the barrels in a high place and make the magic equipment output very weak...? I feel like the barrels are going to blow up after some rough operation.
"How cold is it?
"I think it'll be cold for Kinkin."
Well, now we dare to do a cooling experiment. Open the faucet with an interesting gaze from the ifrita and pour the water out into a glass to drink. Yeah, it's cold on Kinkin.
"For now, the experiment was a success." []/(n, vs) (1) (uk) (uk) (uk) "
I also pour water into the glass and serve it to the ifrita who is looking at me with an interesting gaze.
"... yeah, well, it's cold."
Yeah? I see how suddenly you feel...
"You didn't pay enough attention, sorry."
"Beh, it's nothing."
With that said, the ifrita puts her mouth on a little bit of cold water.
"It's really cold. Well, with this much ice... yeah, it's really efficient, isn't it?
"That's what it is. Conversely, this structure is good for making hot water in a short period of time."
The gas water heater and so on are almost the same structure just because the ice is on fire. However, since we have to control the heating time and so on, we will probably have to incorporate the golem core, and if we make it, it will be a luxury magic tool with cost appearance.
In the meantime, we have a concept demonstration model, so we will call on Isla and other R&D departments to consult on commercialization.
"Hmm, are you using a copper tube? This could be made by a city blacksmith."
"The enclosure is basically the same as the refrigerator, so you can make it in the same workshop."
"Wind magic in a barrel...? I think we should make this funnel look like a big tank and lightly cover it so that no bugs or debris enter."
"Regarding the drainage of ice melted water, I think it would be good to put a stopper on the bottom and pour it into a bucket from there. The problem is the amount of ice consumed."
"Let's chill the ale."
Prototypes will be proposed from the concept demonstration model of ice beer servers depending on the face of the R&D department. The people in the R&D department are excellent and enthusiastic, so as soon as I come up with an idea like this, they understand it and commercialize it. The truth is, if I use my full powers, I can make the perfect ice beer server, but it weighs heavily on the boulders. In this way, it's fun to think about things with everyone, and above all, there are magic and magic tools in this world. It is possible that a groundbreaking product will be produced with an approach I could not have imagined.
A dwarf blacksmith brought a barrel of ale from somewhere to cool it down.
"That's good! It's cool and awesome!
"Kinkin 'chilled ale is so delicious."
"One more."
The people in the R&D department who started drinking became useless after that, and the other spare people who heard the noise got involved and became like a banquet.
"You can sell this. Mr. Koske, please do this more."
"That's so rude."
Someday Merti, who was at the banquet, pretended to be innocent. Even if you say such a thing, such an idea doesn't seem to pop out. Even this ice beer server reminded me of a request from a restaurant in Castle Town.
"Good luck, Mr. Koske. It reminds me of convenient goods that were so popular in the world...!
"The Golden Dead"
"Without Merti... I know you're thinking for your country."
A little further away, Isla and Sylphie looked at Merti as she saw something pathetic. No, you two, don't look at me. Can you help me?
And while I was trying to improve the lives of the people, the international situation was gradually moving. Specifically, how did it work? First of all, the dragonish mountain kingdom west of the kingdom of Merinard, beyond the Alliance of Small Nations, welcomed the independence of the nascent kingdom of Merinard and issued a statement to the effect that it would be recognized as a reciprocal state.
With that, the movement of the Western League of Small Nations, which was showing suspicious moves to cut off the territory of the Kingdom of Merinard, which was confused by the destruction of the Holy King's army, stopped. The content of the statement by the Dragon Mountain Kingdom was very friendly to the nascent Merinard Kingdom, because it contained a nuance that if the nascent Merinard kingdom were to be reached, neither would the Dragon Mountain Kingdom be silent.
From what I hear, it seems that for the League of Small Nations, the Dragons mountain kingdom should never be defied. Many countries in the Western League of Small Nations seem to be profiting from the Dragonfly trade with the Dragonfly Mountain Kingdom, and if we turn the Dragonfly Mountain Kingdom against us, we will not be able to benefit from it. So the League of Small Nations is beginning to show an attitude of rubbing against the nascent Melinard kingdom with a feeling of imitation to the right. I think they're cash people.
The next empire to have an embassy in the capital, Merynesburg, also issued a statement welcoming the independence of the nascent kingdom of Merinard from the Holy King. It was not the content of an extremely friendly statement like that of the Dragonistic mountain kingdom, but it was the content of a comrade who rejected subhuman exclusion and was delighted by the advent of a comrade against the Holy King's kingdom of humanism. Apparently.
"The rhetoric is too diverse to look very much like that?
"When it comes to the upper echelons of the Empire, it's not very straightforward. If you think of it as a kind of noble word, a royal word."
"Silfi and Serafita are honest things."
"In fact, the kingdom of Merinard is not that old. His Majesty Ixville was also the second king."
I see.
Speaking of which, I hardly know anything about the history of the Kingdom of Merinard. Maybe next time I should ask someone carefully. Well, not now. Let's get back to it.
Of course, it wasn't just a friendly reaction. The Holy King has massacred innocent citizens and soldiers, and bandits who have occupied many cities by force have fiercely criticized the nascent Melinard kingdom as having a single abdominal pain in naming the country. The kingdom's kingdoms and friendly nations have followed the criticism of the Holy King to clarify their hostile attitude towards the nascent Melinard kingdom.
No country will take any concrete action during the winter, but I don't know what happens when it gets warmer and the troops are ready. No, I'm sure they'll strip the nascent Merinard of his teeth.
The newly reborn kingdom of Merinard, the Liberation Army, has finished its battle to reclaim its homeland, and is now involved in a battle to defend it.
