Magicraft Meister Part 1

"Cline Kingdom is having a bad harvest?"

Jin, who had enjoyed his meal in Horai Island, received a report from the old man by himself.

<

"Is there a problem with preservation as well? ...... That's what His Majesty was talking about, mold damage."

The reason why the Empress of Shoro rushed to produce desiccants became clear to Jin.

"But this isn't the first year that we've had extreme weather, is it?　Haven't we had something similar in the past?　How did we get over it then?"

<>

The man-made disasters also contributed to the damage.

<

This story clearly shows how barren it is to exhaust a nation's strength through war.

"The kingdom has not said anything to us, has it?"

<<

"And?"

<<

Jin is the best in the world at making things, but he probably thinks that he can't be depended on for food problems.

"I can make a dehumidifier. ......"

The principle is simple. Cooling the air reduces the saturated water vapor content, which forms water in the form of condensation. After the water is removed, the air is heated to room temperature again, resulting in dry air.

This method is also used in modern air conditioners on the earth.

"Yes, that might be a good idea.

Air conditioning is a technology that has existed in the past, so there is no problem in spreading it. I leave it in your hands.

"Yes, that's right. We have to get relief supplies from somewhere.

Originally, the food self-sufficiency rate for the entire subpopulation was a little more than 100 percent. This means that there is not much surplus.

This is partly due to the lack of storage technology, which makes it impossible to preserve food for long periods of time.

"I think we will also need technology for magic power storage (ether stockers)."

Jin thought that it would be difficult to use this technology for weapons, and that it might be a good idea since it would be useful for daily life.

"Oh, and what about the story about the invasion of a foreign race from across the Harihari Desert?

"Well, was it a hoax?"

"I'm sure it is."

In the northwestern part of the Kingdom of Selroa, near the city of Ahi, the Nostalgia Party has established its current base.

"Elena, I heard you got new instructions."

Jules Rolland, the number one of Nostalgia, approached the beautiful automata, Elena.

"Yes, Jules. The long autumn rains have caused a poor harvest in the Kingdom of Klein, and there is a threat of famine if it continues."

"...... what?　That's not good."

Number two, Donald Callow Alpha, joined the conversation.

"Right?　So we're going to give each country a ."

"Dehumidifiers. That's very effective.

Jules and Donald nodded in agreement.

"Donald, could you prepare a few samples for us?"

Elena asked Donald, the technical director of Nostalgia, to do the job.

"Okay, I'll take care of it.

Jules, I need you to figure out how to get the dehumidifiers to the other countries.

"Yes, sir."

Aether stocker ......?

Yes.

Jin has now arrived in the Kingdom of Klein as a deus ex machina.

< technology.

Even when confronted with others at close range, the risk of being recognized as an automata is minimal.

"With this ether stocker, the grain storage period can be extended several times over."

"I see. ......"

If the free magic element (ether) content is as high as the crops on Horai Island, it can be stored semi-permanently, but the limit for normal crops is five times.

Even so, the fact that the storage period can now be extended to 10 years, instead of the previous limit of about two years, is a breakthrough.

"Unfortunately, we can't help you with the crops themselves, though.

"No, no, this is a great help to us, Makina-sama. Thank you very much!"

Prime Minister Powell bowed again and again like a rice-pounding grasshopper. At a time when he is struggling to overcome the current situation, it must be a great relief to know that he no longer has to worry about just one corner of the city.

This is the Prime Minister's office. Glen Davrode, the Commander of the Kingsguard, is also present, as a guard and a witness, just in case.

Glen, who looked a bit disappointed that the Prime Minister of his country would bow to a man he knew nothing about, no matter how much he had brought salvation technology to the country, had a sour look on his face the whole time... .......

"Do you think we can manage to provide the technology now?"

<>

"Yeah, that's a hard decision to make. ......"

"I know how you feel, Jin."

I turned around at the sudden voice and saw Reinhardt standing there.

"Reinhardt?"

"Yes. The desiccant plant has been set up and mass production has started, so it's out of my hands now. I was just wondering what Jin was going to do about all this trouble.

"Thank you, Reinhard."

Jin thanked his friend for his concern.

"Nostalgia took the dehumidifier and Machina took the ether stocker. The only two things that remain are the alien race that lives beyond the Harihari Desert and how we're going to get food.

"Mm."

Reinhard nodded as Jin summarized the problems.

"...... both have high priority. That's what I'm trying to figure out.

"Okay. Jin is a hard worker. You don't have to carry all the burden, okay?

I know. I know, but I can't just ignore it now that I'm involved in all this.

The alien race issue goes to the Shoro Kingdom. The food problem goes to the Klein Kingdom. Each of them is a direct problem.

"Certainly, they are the opposite of the peaceful world that Jin wants.

"Right?"

Jin just wants to focus on making things that improve people's lives, things that are useful to people, and things that he wants to make. Such a modest wish is not likely to come true.

Jin is a good person. Well, I don't think we would have been his friends otherwise.

Reinhardt says with a wry smile, but still has no intention of stopping Jin.

"The problem of mold and ruin of grain can be stopped with desiccants and dehumidifiers. The effect of the ether stocker won't be immediate, so we'll have to start with ......."

"West, huh?"

Jin and Reinhardt nodded at each other.

"I'm not saying that because I'm from the Shoro Kingdom.

Jin laughed at Reinhardt's unsolicited comment.

"I know. I must confess that I was a little curious about the other side of the Hariri Desert.

"Yes, I can see that. I think everyone in the Shoro Kingdom has thought about it at least once.

Reinhard agreed with Jin's comment.

"Then we have to think of a way to get across the desert.

"Perhaps, you don't have much free magical element (ether), do you?"

"Yes, but we can still make it to the northern hemisphere. But in the southern hemisphere, it might be more dangerous.

Sky 1, which had conducted the specific survey, reported that the southern hemisphere survey flight could have crashed if it had not had the reserve energy source, the magi crystals.

"Beyond the Harihari Desert, the latitude is not so different, and I think we can go there."

"......You're going to go after all......?"

Reinhardt looked worried, but Jin reassured him.

"Well, it's not me who's going, but .

Jin had wanted to go himself, but Lao Kun, Reiko, Anne, and the others had vehemently opposed him, and he had to give up the idea in tears.

<, but since Jin had many things he wanted to do here, and above all, there was little point in going himself, he decided to leave it to Lao Tzu instead of using the double substitution puppet.

I see, that makes me feel at ease. Jin, if you had insisted on going, I would have opposed it.
