The Man Picked Up By the Gods (Reboot)

As he continued his gentle conversation with the gods, he heard the conversation about the weather from the topic of the field, and he was curious.

Everything is said to be tougher this year than usual, with more snowy days.

"Abnormal weather?"

"No, should I say that now is the normal time?Do you remember why Ryuma came to this world? "

"To bring the magic of the earth to this world, right?"

"That's right. To compensate for our lack of magic, we're activating it on a global scale with the massive amount of magic that Ryuma and I have brought along.

If you think about the human body, is it as if the malnourished body has eaten enough and recovered? "

"The environment and climate on the ground are based on a combination of factors that keep changing while balancing.Think of it as a slightly bigger temperature swing. "

Thanks to Fernobylla's addition to Kufo's story, it became easier to understand.

Apparently, the severe winter and the increase in snowfall this year have been a good response for the world.

However, “moderate” climate change occurs.

And this somewhat rating is a rating (...) from the perspective of the gods.

Given this, we humans should be well prepared.

"Sure looks like a human being to me."

"If I don't miss the winter break, I don't think there's a problem right away, but I've never been too careful."

The conversation between Cyril Elle and Lurutia, who sat next to each other, came to my ear, and I thought I knew it.

"I totally forgot to tell you one day, but the information and common sense I got before I came to this world was subtly out of touch with the world."

That said, the three pillars that led me to this world made me look sorry.

"I'm not going to blame you. As a result, I was able to do something about it and get involved with the Duke."

And there are cultural gaps between humans and countries.Even people in the same country are about 10 years old, and there is a generation gap.It is only natural that there are gaps in the way things are viewed and perceived when we are human beings and gods.

"Thank you for understanding."

"If it's been around for a long time, it obscures the sense of time."

"Honestly, decades or hundreds of years is an error."

That feeling is unlikely to be understood for the rest of my life... but I'm sure there will be more snow than usual from now on anyway.Then you'll need to be prepared, and at the same time, this is going to be the goal of creating a new job opening.

With that in mind, the cerelliptor starts moaning.

"Are you going to start something new again?"

"For now, is it a measure against snowfall in the city? Even a small amount of snow at a time can slow people and things down if it continues to accumulate without melting.

Just me and the neighborhood, I can handle it with magic and slime, but the whole town can't handle the boulders.Besides, if heavy snow continues every year in the future, you should start building a mechanism to deal with it now. "

Specifically?

In the meantime, it's a man-sea tactic to gather people together.The influx of workers seems to be continuing.In order to improve efficiency, I've prototyped not only scoops, but also some of the Earth's snow-capping tools and ice splitting tools... and I think I can use some of the results of Slime's research... "

"Oh? You have a bit of a tooth cut.If slime was involved, I'd always be happier to talk. "

That's what Willius told me.

Even among people I know, but do I have that kind of common sense among the gods?

"It looks like it could be used to remove snow, but there are research results that require a little attention to handling."

"Handling precautions? What, did you make a bomb?"

Kufo said it was a joke, but it was pretty close.

"Eh, did you really make it?"

"No, I didn't (...) make a bomb.I was just experimenting, and I happened to have something like gunpowder. "

"I didn't ask you that."

That's what we haven't talked about yet.

There was too much to talk about and I was behind.

"If you want to know, I'll explain."

"Let me hear it...."

"Dragon horse, your eyes are already shining."

Oops, that's enough for the tech to tell me.

"Well, let's be a little modest."

The beginning of this was the “acidic detergent” that I made the other day when I was asked to clean the hot springs in Fatma territory.

The acidic detergent is a mixture of acid of acidslime and sticky slime adhesive solution.

It's just that stuff, but I realized there I hadn't been experimenting with "mixing products of different kinds of slime."

Evolution of slime alone was diverse, and there were many ways to utilize abilities on its own, so I completely lost sight of it.

Now, I wish I had studied it sooner why I hadn't tried such an easy thing... but I'll keep it because it's personal and not related to research.

In fact, when the acid and mucus were mixed, in addition to the mucus used for hot spring cleaning, a "trace powder” was produced and deposited on the bottom of the mixture.

"This is the powder."

"Huh?"

"Mmm."

Remove the powder from the item box into the vial and place it on the table.

Apparently, the gods knew at a glance what kind of substitute they were.

When I took this out and used the magic of appraisal, this kind of information came out.

“Name undetermined/(tentative name) ultra-water repellent powder”

A substance produced by mixing sticky slime sticky liquid with acids of acidslime.

Extremely water repellent powder.Handling caution due to flammability.Contains the magic of the slime.

Personally, I think it is the cause of the “water-repellent effect” of the adhesive solution used in waterproof cloth and the like.

"Does mixing slime fluids produce this kind of thing?"

The magic contained in the body fluids interacted with each other and spoiled it.

The reaction between Techn, the god of technology, and Fernobelia-sama, the god of academics, is good.

but as far as the reaction is concerned,

"This is a little off the record, but is it unusual for the gods?Appraisal didn't give me a name. "

"It's unusual for us, but isn't it unusual to see it in this way?"

"At least it's rare for humans.That's right... let's just say magic potion and magic stones, substances similar to these two.It will take time to explain further. "

Apparently, it's much more complicated and deeper than I thought.

Well then, let's do a quick study.

"I like that intention as a god of academics. Encouraging."

I've come to a point where I'm off track.

"Back to business, I was even more interested in the birth of these substances.And I took other kinds of slime fluids and mixed them. "

"Ah, that's how it works."

"I see you experimenting with fun."

Kufo and Lurtia nodded that they knew, but here's the problem.

It is a mixture of slime products and research results that could be used to combat snow accumulation.

It's black powder. It also looks like crushed coal until it's finer, but it's not shiny at all.

The ingredients for that powder are Scavenger Slime Fertilizer and Deodorant Slime Odor Suction.

"It's a little bit of a curve, and when you first watch out for poison gas and mix it outside, it suddenly starts boiling and explodes.Besides, the scattered stuff started to burn, so I panicked out. Incendiary bombs and flamethrowers?I was surprised that a weapon like that was used to burn out a wide area. "

"Dragon horse, you're laughing so much....."

"Cyril Elle is right.I'm glad you're okay. "

"It's okay, because I've got a shield and an evacuation area for the time being."

Research failures come with it.

Art is an explosion! There is also the word.

Safety precautions are well prepared and there is no problem.

"So, I checked the black powder carefully and found that it has the property of absorbing light efficiently and emitting heat."

Experiments were performed to "add black powder to a glass of water and shine light on the muddy powder.”

The result depends on the intensity of the light, but in sunlight it boils in seconds to tens of seconds and generates steam.

The moisture is completely evaporated within 3 minutes and the dry black powder itself ignites.

"I think it will help me get rid of the snow if I use it well, because I get a lot of heat just by shining a light on it."

Considering only one point: melting the snow, it would suffice to sprinkle it over the snow.

However, in that case, after the water formed by melting the snow has evaporated, it may burn and become a fire.

Then it would be safer to sprinkle ordinary charcoal crushed powder.

Even if it's not as black as black powder, if combined with magic, it will be safe and quite effective.

However, using black powder may have a big effect if safety measures are taken.

"Do you have any ideas about the safety measures?"

"That's right. I don't think we need to hurry this year, but if you want to start using it from the next snow day, you don't have much time."

Ruthia and Willius are right.

"There is a plan to prevent ignition.There was a lot of use of incandescent bulbs in the lights of my previous life, especially when I was a kid. "

Incandescent bulbs emit light and heat by passing electricity through a light-emitting portion called a filament.

And the filament of the incandescent bulb at the beginning of the development was carbide paper.

It was said that when the improvements were made to the practical level, the bamboo that had been carbonized was used.

Light and heat are generated by passing electricity through the carbonized bamboo.

Nevertheless, why doesn't the filament burn on the spot?

The answer is “vacuum."

In order for fire to burn, three elements must be present: combustible materials, heat, and oxygen.

Incandescent bulbs block the oxygen needed to burn objects by vacuuming the inside of the bulb.

As a result, it is possible to emit high temperatures and light without burning when energized.

"I see. Just like those incandescent bulbs, we're going to use them to cut off oxygen.Are you wearing that material? "

"Sticky slime hardened liquid plate. It is heat resistant and transparent, so I think it would be better to mix the powder in it.I think mixing is possible because I know that black powder does not heat up in a space blocked by dark magic.

However, I have a concern that if I put black powder in the sticky liquid, it might become something else. "

"I don't think there's a problem with that.This is a water-repellent powder, but it is in a fairly stable state when it becomes a powder.Perhaps the black powder is also stable as a substance.If you just pour it in and mix it, there will be no such reaction or change.

I don't know what happens if this is something we all know so well... interesting. "

I don't know what kind of “similar thing” Techn is talking about, but I'm looking at a vial with a water-repellent powder from various directions that seems interesting.

"Would you like to take it with you?I can make it as soon as I get home, so I don't mind at all. "

I used to get a drink for Techn, even though it was a success.I don't know if it's a substitute.

"Oh, yeah? Well, don't hesitate."

At the same time, the vial disappears from the tip of the technique.

The person (God) seems to be having fun, so I'm glad.

"Ah, yes."

"Hmm? Anything else?"

"The black powder is likely to be used as a snow countermeasure, but there is another type.Kufo joked about a bomb or something like gunpowder. "

"Ah, it was something else than black powder...."

"Well, it looks like black gunpowder too."

It's hard to handle because it reacts to light. Wait.On the contrary, if you hit the light, it will ignite, so can you make a bomb that reacts to the light?As long as we have a mechanism in place to prevent accidental explosions, for time-bound bomb applications...

"Ryuma, your thoughts are on the way to making a bomb. Explain more."

"Whoa, sorry Kufo.

The problem with gunpowder is that it's a mixture of acid-slime and fluff-slime cotton, and when it's lit, it's like cotton that burns violently. "

There are similar things on Earth called “nitrated cotton” and “nitrocellulose”, which I used when I decided to do magic tricks in banquet art.

"By the way, the nitrocellulose is also known as" single-base gunpowder ”depending on how it's processed, and is also used for ammunition for pistols."

It's not like gunpowder. It's totally gunpowder.

"Besides, it's very cheap, right?"

"The ingredients give me a lot of slime.It's easy to make, and honestly, I think cost performance is excellent. "

"Transferees seeking guns are not uncommon.However, some of them struggled with gunpowder production and cost issues, and gave up… how could they get gunpowder in this way? "

"I didn't aim for it, either.

Besides, I'm not that familiar with guns and military stuff, and gunpowder is honest with me. "

Really?

"I know Tabuchi-kun, a close associate... I heard about the relationship between nitrocellulose and single-base gunpowder from him earlier, and I know a lot from him, but there's a lot of piecemeal information...

I guess the only thing I know about guns is revolvers... and that's why my old favorite killer or thief's partner's animated characters had them, and I don't know the latest sharp stuff. "

At a time when I used to travel abroad a lot, I had the opportunity to shoot real people several times.

But it didn't work, so I was only interested in talking about the seeds.

I can use it as a tool, but is it unsuitable for my skin or is it unreliable?

If I were to use it, I would have preferred the bow as a flying tool.

"So what we could make with firearms... black gunpowder, baked balls, that famous dynamite, around a masket gun?I'm just saying I have a little knowledge of it.I haven't actually made it, let alone used it.

Personally, I am more interested in mining in mines, blasting work, and other relatively peaceful uses.You can study firearms when you have time... but it's dangerous, and the basics are hidden.Exceptionally, Mr. Reinhardt and the others would have to be consulted, or almost thrown round. "

Hmm, that's good.

Following Gain, Kufo and Lultia also gave me a heartbeat.

But at that moment, I felt like I saw Mr Reinhardt holding his head... probably because of his mind.
