"Hmm, well, this is it, isn't it?"

"I don't think it's a bad idea."

"Delicious enough"

At lunch, the canned foods and instant foods we brought were arranged and cooked. Doriada with a fat tongue is evaluated as a pear ant, and I am evaluated as an ant and an ant as ant.

”Hmm, is it delicious or not?”

"This is not the level of food served in the court."

"But with fire and pot, you can eat this anywhere?" Isn't that a breakthrough? "

It's going to work on an annual basis.

"Depending on the cost, it might be good to stockpile food, but compared to preserving grain as it is"

"It seems like a good way to maintain the morale of the soldiers on the fronts who carry out harsh missions." It's going to withstand the transport. "

Similarly, there have been various reactions from the international missions who have been talking about the canned foods and instant foods that we brought. Although it is not so delicious as to be admirable, it is judged to be remarkable in that it can be stored on an annual basis and is durable enough to withstand long-distance transportation. It seems that the military personnel who have been on the front line are more highly regarded than the so-called aristocratic people.

"This is good for the knob."

"Not bad. No, it's good."

Drinking guards were also observed drinking cold beer and wine while eating crushed instant noodles in moderation during the day. By the way, beer that is cold is the best compatibility, according to the drinking guards. The next point is that white wine goes with it. I see?

"It's not bad if you don't want to do this."

"The cooked food has a strong flavor overall, so it's good for snacking on sake."

"It might be good for a drink." But why don't you let the cook cook do it? "

"The advantage is that it is effective for long-term storage and can be eaten by simply opening it without cooking. It doesn't seem to be used in everyday life."

"But it's strong to save the hassle of cooking." I think it's great to eat something that doesn't require polarity, that doesn't require cooking utensils or fuel, and that doesn't require the use of fire. "

"I see. Isn't it useful for scouts who shouldn't be found by the enemy, or for adventurers who step deep into the realm of monsters?"

The drinking guards aren't just talking about booze, they're arguing seriously about it. By the way, Grande sleeps in the room saying, "I don't like dinner parties." This time, I knew that the main dish of canned and instant noodles was rarely a dish like Grande.

"However, this can be unusual and interesting, but what do you mean by the launch of the National Assembly?"

Surely that may be subtle in the sense of that.

“There's only as much impact as foreign rare foods”

Well, I guess we'll have to make it public and provide technical assistance.

"I think it's premature to go that far." In the first place, there is not enough production capacity in the Kingdom of Merinado, right? "

"In the sense of national authority, a magic airship is sufficient."

Doriada and Isla disagree with my remarks. Well, if you say so, you're right. Both canned and instant noodles have not yet been produced in sufficient quantities to reach Japan. In other words, it can be said that the prototype has not been exceeded at this stage. Production is gradually increasing, but it feels like a military upfront mass production type.

The menu is poorly varied, with soups of oreil and smoked meat, cream chowder, canned salty and spicy meat, canned ground meat and beans stewed in tomato sauce, and canned fish stewed in water. I want to make a can of fruit pickled in syrup, but sugar is expensive. Sometimes they want a crop to get sugar for it.

"Let's consider the direction of exporting or publishing technology after refining the technology itself and accumulating know-how."

"I think that's a good idea."

"Hmm, I agree." The days have been shallow since we established our technology. Something could go wrong. ”

That's right.

In theory, it should be able to be preserved on an annual basis, but there is no possibility that it will be corrupted by some kind of influence or any other harm will be confirmed. For example, we make sure to put it in the soup once, in order to make the toxin nontoxic in the unlikely event that it gets damaged. Basically, the effects of purification magic should have eliminated toxins and pathogens, but I'm not sure about that either. There was no way to make sure.

I don't want to use the military as an experimental platform, but I agree that it is premature to supply a wide range of military personnel to the general public and other countries.

To a certain extent the meal has already been completed. We were asked various questions about the Dragonis mountain kingdom and the small country coalition that enjoyed the preserved food we brought in, but in the meantime, we decided to surpass the situation by explaining it in the direction we discussed here.

It must be a new technology that has only recently been developed. Now that we have just started mass production in advance, limited to military use, we are in the midst of trial and error in the production process, which means that there is room for refinement. If we can eventually accumulate sufficient know-how, we plan to start mass production in Japan, and after that, we will be able to sell a certain amount abroad. Also, depending on the situation, we are looking at technology exports and disclosure.

"High-performance preserved food is of high military value, but if used for civilian purposes, it can be greatly utilized as reserve food in the event of a disaster, and new jobs can be created in the field of food processing. If crops that have not been suitable for long-term preservation can be preserved for a long time, the food situation of the whole country will be improved, and it can be a new means of obtaining foreign currency."

"What kind of technology do you expect to see in the future? What's in it for you?"

I don't know who's from which country, but that's what a winged man asked me, so I shrugged my shoulders and answered.

"It's hard for everyone to get hungry, right? If everybody doesn't starve, there won't be any battles. Besides, if you feel more or less indebted to our country, our country will be a little easier to do."

"... I see."

When he asked me, he said so and smiled bitterly. I don't know if you thought you were a blue-ass idealist, or if you bitterly smiled at the explicit remarks in the second half, but I could make a bitter smile on your face, so let's do it. It didn't seem like it made such a bad impression.

"Either way, it's a future story, so around here." As I said before, if you are interested, I think you can deal with it to some extent if you can send an official envoy. Since the Merinado Kingdom is turning into a new Merinado Kingdom unlike the former Merinado Kingdom and under the reign of the Holy Kingdom, there are many things worth seeing. "

Of course, I don't publish anything indefinitely. Basically, the R&D department is off-limits, and the Musketeers and Magic Guns are the core forces in charge of defense. Crossbows are becoming popular among the civilian population, and they're standard equipment for our troops, so I might be able to show them to some extent.

In this way, the luncheon, which had the qualities of a new preserved food tasting party, was well received and the curtain was closed.

I don't have any plans from here to the evening dinner party. Now, how should we move? I'd like to see the ordinary life of the Dragonis Mountain Kingdom and the streets.
