The Economics of Prophecy

Con, Con, Con, Con, Con! Gun, Gun, Khan!!

The sound of striking wood and iron echoes the warehouse transformed into a workshop. The windows are equipped with impromptu chimneys and furnaces, which emit considerable high temperatures using charcoal and fudge. Unlike open-shaped free-forging, they reshaped it so that heat was concentrated in a narrow range.

Using the prototype's small alchemy mold, forging with ordinary iron is a success. I am now adjusting the temperature to use true iron. Of course, it is Bogan's decision that if the size changes, the conditions will change, but it will be indicative.

Even the same iron has different sizes of crystals depending on temperature, and that has to do with strength and stickiness?

Kang, Kang!

We met two balls forged by Bogan. It's been tough getting here. At first you have cracks or lack of shape. Even after adjusting the amount of metal, the cavity inside remained. They can tell by the dull sound.

This is it with iron. How easy lead was to handle. I saw Bogan. When the blacksmith loosens his cheeks slightly, he meets the ball again. A clear sound called Khan echoed the workshop.

"Mr. Bogan. Mr. Dolph said," Expand the spring a little longer. "

Bogan nodded at Alfina's message.

Create a plate spring to absorb carriage vibrations. Without that, the outer diameter of the bearings cannot be determined. It's also imperative to replace many carriages with minimal effort.

Alfina is running around between Bogan, Dolph and Noel to serve as my liaison.

Actually, it also stuffs me to determine the outer diameter of the bearings. It was three days before Dolph's claimed outer diameter and Bogan's judgment bumped into each other by a slight difference. The air in the workshop sucked due to the conflict between Dolph, who yells all the time if he doesn't give in, and Bogan, who hammers ignoring it.

It was Alfina who solved it. I didn't particularly persuade him, but if he had just gone around between the two of us and listened, a compromise would naturally have been made.

Curiosity and honesty before. It was obvious to everyone that he was desperate to understand the task in front of him. I guess I caught the hearts of the two artisans.

Well, neither of you believe in Alfina's identity as a servant. If you look at it from a civilian perspective, it's not the same thing from standing and behaving to being verbal. Maybe it's the Grand Duke's view.

No way, I don't think she's a princess.

"Well, that's how big it is then."

Noel heads to the alchemy gold floor he brought into the workshop. I created it with Meer, the drawing is almost complete. Noel says it won't take long to adjust the size compared to the shape.

Of course, the magnitude increases the amount of magic and magic gold required. Even though we secure customers, including the Knights and Kenwell, Demonic Crystals and Demonic Guidance Gold do not make up for it in economic principles.

"I got the results of the calculation. Seniors. 10% more than planned. That's the limit."

"Yes, I'm telling you, you can't do this without me and Meer."

"Okay, if you go beyond that, it's fine."

I disguised Noel and the craftsmen as calm. Because it is like a gold coin flying every single unit, the inner part is cold sweat.

◇ ◇

"Mr. Noel. Mr. Bogan says the strength of the spring and the size of the hole in the bearing…"

"Yes, my lord... fi, fina. I'll try to adjust. Meer, please."

At first, he can only speak up, and Noel and Alfina, who had become upright immovable, are also able to communicate their intentions. It hurts to be back tomorrow because of the cathedral event.

"Please, Noel's lady"

"Well, who do you think I am?"

Well, Noel is also getting familiar with dealing with people from different fields. Um, I was intimate on my own, but more communicative than me?

◇ ◇

The workshop, which was completely soothing, was tingling this morning. In the table, the wheel sounds. We're all on the table.

I heard the carriage was finished.

"Long time no see, Ricardo."

When the butler opened the door, Euphiria and Luitzer came out. The result is that the Grand Duke and the Viscount Inheritance are poor to ride, but have chosen carriages where the same objects exist for comparison. Compared to old and new carriage rides.

"Okay. Keep it up."

Together with Dolph's voice, the body pulled up by the pulley combines around the axle with plate spring and bearing. From the axle, a jig was removed that kept the position of the bearing he had devised. In front of the client, an improved carriage was created.

It's finally your first test drive.

◇ ◇

"What do you say?

On a rocking carriage, I asked the Grand Duke.

In the carriage, besides me, there are three other women. Alfina next door. It's the Grand Duke and Luiza across the street.

"In their story, they said the vibration was terrible, but isn't the ride better than it was until I got here? That's not even what my concubine uses."

"Right. Much easier."

Luitzer also nodded at Euphilia's words. Alfina, who sat beside him, even tried the laying cloth off the way. A shock must have come to my buttocks on the boulder. I'm putting it back now.

"I can't judge by the cobblestone path alone, though. You're working hard with two craftsmen. Because it was quite a trial and error, such as the size and angle of the plate spring."

"I see. Is that what they call a hoarding of know-how"

"Yes, I think the vibration can be further reduced if the improvements go ahead. That leads to reduced durability and maintenance effort for the parts. Of course, the most important thing is the performance to carry things."

"Dear Aunt, it's amazing. There's a wooden combination that fits right between the two wheels..."

Alfina explains to the Grand Duke. Despite the improvements, the new parts and the motivation of the two given discretion were significant. Even though there was the accuracy and strength of the bearings, which could be called over-specs, they have already exceeded my expectations.

"That's amazing. Dear Alfina,"

Luitzer glanced at me and gave Alfina her back. I guess you want to say what you're making me do. I don't want you to tell me.

"As for the bearings, you just have to assume you've got a little bit of a stomach."

"Yes. It still takes a while to make it from scratch though. Oh, from scratch, the performance is even more..."

"Seriously, it's still good to take time. Do you have any idea how many craftsmen are involved in a carriage?"

It's not as good as an automobile, but when you make it from scratch, you need cloth, leather products, etc. Not as big as automobiles, but carriages are also industries with a wide enough hem. The artisanal foundations of iron, wood, cloth and skin must also be cultivated eventually. Conversely, I can grow it.

If craftsmen are successfully given discretion in carriage procedures, those materials combine to be other than carriages......

No, no, is this too much of a hurry?

"What about Wang Du?

I switched my head.

"Because Kurtheit seems to be full of hands in restoring the damage to the dragon. I can't afford to get my hands on this one at the moment. I just don't really think about the First Knights. As long as the Chancellor tries to balance the second and third princes, this one's disadvantage in court is inevitable."

"What about the trade fair, Prime Minister?

"It was decided in the presence of the king, I will not overrule it. However, if the concubine finds out that His Highness Craig is involved anyway, she doesn't know how to move. If what they think about the carriage revelations materializes, no, but let's get people's attention."

"Right. It's a bit of a fancy trick."

"A little."

The carriage returned to the workshop. Two artisans attack you with questions. Your response seems to be excellent.

"I am satisfied with their work. This is a reward. I will continue to encourage you."

A bag of silver coins was handed to Bogan and Dolph. The two hardened to that weight. "Test drive is what you call success," Alfina told him, and he finally looked relieved.

"So there's no problem outside the carriage?"

Euphiria urged the craftsmen to tilt the feather fan.

"Yes. That's..."

Dolph clouded his words.

"I also value concubines for this cause. I don't care. Let me hear it."

"Vegatta's husband, yeah, the carriage merchant, we... he insists on hearing what we're doing. Sir, by saying it's your lord's order, I'm deceiving you. Normally, repairs don't take days like this."

"Sounds like some people wander around the workshop," Jacob says.

I made it up. The butler nodded as well.

"As for the guild, the concubine holds it from the top. Stab the nail at the merchant for knowing what he's going to do with his concubine's carriage. Zeldrick will take care of anything you sniff around. If you resist, you don't need forgiveness."

Euphiria commanded the butler. Was it named Zeldrick?

"Then Mr. Bogan and the others, Noel and Meer, will give us a test drive next. When it's done, it's time to test the load."

"It's a shame. I wanted to help you more, too."

I kept the Grand Duke waiting for Alfina to try to get back, and he came this way.

"You've helped me enough. If this temple rises, we will return to Wang Capital as part of the long-distance test."

The bearings are made of many of the same things. Another type of carriage is also turned from the Grand Duke for the moving parts of the carriage. It's a fat experimental bench where you can crush it.

The trade fair is left to everyone in the Central Garden, but the Prince must also be given a progress report.

"... ok. I'll be waiting for you in the King's Capital with all the Central Gardens."

Saying so, Alfina also greets the Noels and returns to the carriage. Two artisans are surprised by the sight of the Grand Duke waiting for the girl dressed as a samurai.

I'm not wrong about the Grand Duke's eyewitness. The rewarded silver coin you both received is the occasional part of Alfina's theory of power.
