We have a level system in place for mankind.

scene: 140 Australian food areas (2)

The Australians agreed to our proposal from Japan. On top of that, mineral sands and iron mines will also bring people together.

Migration to Australia's food areas began. That said, it is limited to Queensland. In other states, there are criminals and Chinese, so I restricted it to Queensland.

"Do you also need iron in Japan?" If it's iron, why don't we just recycle it? "

Darrell, who had grown closer, asked a question.

"Iron that is easy to collect has already been collected and used in concrete, steel bridges, ships, etc."

Explain that it is easier to make new iron than to retrieve it while the alien beast is wandering around.

"It might be cheaper than smashing concrete and collecting iron." But isn't it easy to retrieve a ship? "

“I want to keep the ship as long as possible, as I may use it in the future.”

We were thinking of taking the ship into the food zone and using it. I thought I'd use it to trade between city states.

“However, the natural environment of the food area is great, but there's nothing there.”

"I guess that can't be helped. But if you look for it, you may still have traces of the native race.”

Darrell tilted his head.

"Is that a non-human race?"

"That's right, an alien who is not a human?" I don't know, guys like them. We're going to look for it in the food area here. "

I brought a small plane and a high-powered car for that purpose. To my surprise, it was Kawai who learned to fly a small plane. Kawai apparently learned to fly from Kuroi, a fellow Explorer of Muto.

About a month has passed since we came to Australia. It has been about half a month since emigration began.

By the way, I'd like to build a power station in the food area, but is it okay?

I know Darrells need power, too. However, we don't know the limits of the air purification capacity in the food area, so we try to keep the environment as clean as possible in Agarta.

I told Darrell about it.

“Wouldn't a coal-fired power plant be good?”

“Shall we install the latest type of coal-fired power plant developed by Japan? I hear that it can minimize sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and soot dust."

You will pay for resources such as coal, but in Australia, where there are many resources, it will not be difficult.

I've thought about the Red Thunderstone power plant, but I think it's dangerous to spread too much secrecy. Especially since there are still many criminals on the land of Australia.

It seems that criminals like that are gathered in urban areas such as Sydney and Canberra. There's also a Guardian Killer inside, who is said to be controlling a lot of his men by bringing food from the food area.

Talk about Sydney and Campbell, and discuss what to do with the outlaws.

How do you protect a food-area town when these people find out?

Darrell has a serious face.

"In Japan, we are trying to increase the number of Guardian Killers. Here again, you can ask the Explorers to help you increase it.”

Most of the Australian Explorers have gone to the United States, so it seems that the number of Explorers is small.

The day after I spoke to Darrell, Kawai and I decided to use a small plane to search from the sky. The small plane I brought was a seaplane. Moreover, it was an amphibious aircraft that could take off from both land and water by moving the wheels in and out.

A seaplane that had flown off a nearby lake floated over a food area.

"There are a lot of forests in this food area."

When I say it, Kawai nods.

"I wonder if there was an indigenous people." It doesn't look like it was developed at all. "

The Quell tribe left behind the city's walls, towers, and more, but from the whole point of view, it was only a few, and the natives here may have destroyed many of them and returned them to the ground.

After about an hour, I flew out into a large lake. It is a large lake comparable to Lake Biwa. As you fly over it, you discover an oval island.

It's obviously a man-made island. The waterfront depicted a beautiful elliptical shape, and at its center was a star-shaped building like the Goryu.

"Let's get down there."

When I point to the island, the river well descends. When it lands safely, it approaches the shore. After you get off the plane, you'll land a seaplane in subspace and head for the star-shaped castle.

It seems to be an indigenous ruin, but it still remains in a beautiful form.

"Maybe it's not that old."

Yeah, let's find the entrance.

The entrance was clockwise and we pushed the door. My pressed palm hurts, but the door opens.

When I look at the palm, I see a small hole and a little blood. It felt like a thorn or something was pricked. The pain is gone, so I don't mind going inside.

It looked like some kind of factory inside. That said, it's empty inside and nothing. Why did you know it was a factory? It's a picture on the wall.

The walls depicted indigenous people working in factories. It turns out that the painting produced something like a vehicle. Even if it is a vehicle, it may be like a boat because it has no wheels.

This building seems to have three floors. There were only paintings on the first floor, so I found the stairs and went up to the second floor. And in the middle of the room was a vehicle that had been made on the first floor.

"Kojiro, this is..."

"Yeah, it was built on the ground floor." Is it a boat? "

It looked like a small boat, but sometimes it looked like a small wing. There was something like a seat, so we sat down.

I sat in the front seat, and there was something like a crystal ball in front of me. I put my right hand on it. At that moment, knowledge of maneuvering came into my head.

This seems to be a vehicle that turns the willpower of an intelligent life form into power and uses it as a propulsive force. This race seems to have built a civilization that uses thought and willpower as its energy source.

Is it really something that works with willpower? As I wondered, I turned my willpower to the crystal ball in the way I was taught. A small ship-like vehicle shakes.
