Survival in Another World With My Master

Episode 361: What You Can and Can't Do

Two hours later.

"No, I can't make this. I can't."

After Bella, who was satisfied with the truck's operation, was called home by Schmell, the blacksmith and the sculptor waved their hands patently in front of their faces, saying so with their faces. You can't, can you?

"Golem-type lathes are impossible.Especially this boruberin is impossible.It's hard to make a true sphere out of steel, but it's impossible to make it without a few errors. I get distracted. "

"You know, if you scrape too much metal, you can't undo it."

The blacksmith and the sculptor pointed their dark eyes at me.Well, I do think it would be difficult to do it by hand, and honestly, I don't know how to make it myself.

"But this is awesome. With this, the axle of the carriage could be made of metal."

"I see. Hmm, can you make it with alchemy?"

Isla and the alchemist are checking the ball bearings and the steel balls that have been disassembled and removed.Can alchemy make a true sphere of steel?

"How much does it cost to make one?I'm interested. "

"Oh, are you here?"

When did you arrive, Ifrita said so and took two steel balls.The alchemist glanced at the two steel balls he had taken and wondered if he could make them.

"In my opinion, a few gold coins might blow up to replicate one of these?"

"So what did I say?"

An alchemist stared at by Ifrita waved his hands.Well, if we look at the cost, we'll see what we can do.

"Currently, it is impossible to make or operate this other than Koske."

Ah, yes.

Right. I knew.

In other words, just like the light machine guns I make and operate in the samurai squadron, if I make and use them or operate them within a narrow range that I can take care of, it is difficult to widely disseminate them.

"But I can use this."

With that, Isla rotates the ball bearings by hand.Yeah, it's fun to turn around with a little force.Maybe I'll make a hand spinner next time.

"Ira, I can't do this even if I say I can use it.I can't have so many steel balls of all sizes.... "

"Just make it out of wood. Afterwards, if you demonize the wooden bulb, you can make something that you can use without going to steel."

I see, then I guess I can handle it.

Ifraita agrees with Isla's proposal.When it comes to wooden spheres, there seems to be a subtle error depending on the wooden grain and the member used, and above all, there are worries.

"No, I think if we're going to do that, we're going to have to make it hotter.Because it keeps rotating at high speeds, trees can ignite with frictional heat. "

"The currently used demonized wooden axle is also heat resistant.We can do it in the same way. "

"Oh... I see."

Sure enough, the axle of the carriage keeps rotating at high speeds while always in contact with the bearing.Does it burn with friction heat if it is not reinforced?

Well then, let's make the ball bearing itself in the direction of demonizing the shredded wooden sphere.About the Golem truck..... "

"It's still early for us.Perhaps it would be better to develop the airboard in terms of speed and volume of traffic alone.I will adopt the Koske idea of using an objective barrier for braking. "

"I see. Maybe the airboard is better with magic efficiency and speed."

The airboard literally floats off the ground.In other words, there is no friction with the ground.Speed allows us to travel a considerable distance with inertia.There is air resistance and it is not immune to gravity, so it is not possible to travel anywhere with inertia.

Moreover, the airboard eliminates the device around the foot, so it is superior to the weight of the vehicle body, and the number of parts is considerably lower than that of the golem truck.

The main components of the airboard are the frame that serves as the vehicle body, the floating device for floating the frame, the propulsion device, and the maneuvering device for controlling them.Of course, there are also seats, cargo spaces, and other devices that generate wind magic barriers, as well as physical barrier generators that act as braking devices.

Each component contains a very small number of parts.Because the size is different from that of a golem truck, it cannot be easily compared, but if it is bad, it is probably less than half.The fact that the number of parts is less than half reduces the production effort accordingly.

"Is it superior in terms of parts score?The winning part may be tough enough. "

"Rugged is important. Honestly, the airboard is fragile."

That's right.

The alchemist nods at Isla's words.

The airboard is a delicate vehicle.No, the seat is properly covered with wooden walls and armored with iron plates, but if you take a blow from a magician such as Isla's high-powered magic or a strong presence like Schmel, you can be stuck in a single blow.

"That's the same with the truck.They'll stop when they shoot you around your feet. "

"Airboards can be fatal no matter where they attack."

"If you're too sturdy, you'll slow down."

The same is true in this world where armor and speed are trade-offs.Well, cross-bow, bolt action rifle, light machine gun, magic gun, now our projectile weapon is more powerful and more range.With speed, we can shoot our enemies with traction forever, so speed or mobility is more important now than armor.

"Well, what's the plan for mass production and deployment of magic guns?"

"Good. Golem lathes are helping.We have separate workshops for each part, so we keep it confidential. "

"I see. Somehow, it will leak from somewhere..."

It is difficult to keep information on new weapons out of sight.In fact, the crossbow has already leaked to the private sector and is beginning to be used by adventurers.I've used it against assassins in the Holy King's Land before.

"Even if the object is caught, it can't be copied so easily.The machining of the barrel becomes a neck, and above all, the core part we make - the tail plug - has a little trick. "

Set it up?

"Nh, it's about to explode when you try to disassemble poorly.It's the same even if you use analytics magic. "

"What are you afraid of?"

"Because it originally wrote an explosive ceremony. It's easy to work with."

Ira looks like she's in trouble.Next to that, the alchemist also made a rough face.Are you glued too? Well, that's good... but you know the soldiers on the front lines, right?Would it be safer not to know...?

"I will try to quickly make magic objects of the physical barrier.And as for the airship, it will take time to design it after Pitollen invites the carpenter. "

Copy that.

I don't think we can properly design a ship.It would be a decent ship if it were a squid.Well, I don't know how much of the ship's knowledge of flying the ocean can be harnessed in the design of an airship, but it's much better than what a complete outsider would do.

"Well then, until the ship's experts arrive, we need to develop a brake that uses physical barriers and a large means of land transportation."

"Nh, good luck."

"Would you like to think about the effective use of Nja-Uchira Koboku Rubeling?"

Tell me what it used to be in Mr. Koske's world.

Let's make a sphere of wood.

When Isla fluffs her nose and breathe roughly, other developers seem to be thinking about how to use the ball bearings.The woodworker makes wooden balls.

Okay, I'll try to get as much knowledge as I can.
