Magicraft Meister Part 3

The next day, on the 4th, the improved <> was immediately highly acclaimed.

"Oh!　I'm getting more power than yesterday!"

"I can make progress with this."

"Has my walking speed changed much?"

"They say it makes you less stable."

"Then it's all right. It's practical enough as it is.

I heard that the number of times to replenish mana is also reduced by half.

"Well, that's okay then. ......"

"No, this is excellent. I'd like to buy it if it's on sale.

Hearing these words, Jin said,

"The next step is to mass-produce this ......."

He began to think.

"Maybe the Berlich workshop would be a good idea.

The head of the workshop, Berlich Becker, is a descendant of Reinhardt and must have taken a basic course on Adriana-style golems at <>.

Jin decided to list him as one of the candidates.

Jin thought that he would ask the Minister of Magical Technology LeGray if there were any other candidates.

In the first place, it would not be possible to cover all the expenses with only one or two workshops. Several or even a dozen workshops would have to work on it to secure the necessary number.

.......

"Well, if there is a demand for them, but I think the current reputation of the company will allow us to do so."

The contractors seem to have found the five <> units useful.

* * * *

"Hmmm, that's the technology of Jin-dono!"

<>.

"You mean it's relatively easy to make?

"Yes, it is."

"Considering the cost and functionality, this is a breakthrough.

Jin was relieved. If the Minister of Magical Technology approved it, it would be possible to mass-produce it.

"I will soon be able to provide you with a template for this <>.

As soon as we make some minor modifications," Jin says,

"Oh, that's exciting," said the Minister of Magic and Technology.

The Minister of Magic and Technology said with a broad smile on his face.

"Then, I would like you to select a workshop to commission the mass production.

"I see. Let's do it. Leave it to us. Do you have any recommendations for a ...... workshop?

In response to this question, Jin mentioned the name of the Berlich workshop.

Oh, I see, you have a good eye. I have a great deal of respect for the head of that workshop.

"I am glad to hear that."

"There are about four other places that I can think of, but why don't we start by talking to the Berlich workshop?

Let's start with the Berlich workshop as a test case," said LeGray, "and after we have identified the problems, we can start full-scale mass production.

"Yes, let's take it step by step.

Not wanting to stand around talking any longer, Jin and LeGray moved to one of the tents set up at the construction site.

"Jin-dono, may I ask you a few questions?"

As soon as they arrived at the table in the tent, Mr. LeGray asked a question.

"First of all, I understand that you have chosen steel as the material. It is a question of cost. But what is this alloy called <5½ nickel steel>?

<<5½ nickel steel> is an alloy steel containing 5.5 percent nickel.

Compared to carbon steel, it is tougher and more corrosion resistant. It is used as a structural steel and corrosion-resistant alloy.

Although it is inferior to alloy steels that contain more additive elements, Jin chose <<5½ nickel steel>>, which he often uses in such cases, because of its required strength and durability, as well as its production cost.

Jin explained something like ...... to the Minister of Magical Technology.

"I see, adding nickel increases corrosion resistance. And also wear resistance.

"That's what it means. In addition, if we apply or to the material, we can ensure a considerable amount of strength.

Nickel is cheap because there aren't many uses for it in Ars at the moment.

Nickel is used for nickel plating, stainless steel, heat-resistant alloys, magnetic materials, shape memory alloys, nickel-hydrogen battery electrodes, and hydrogen storage alloys.

The largest user of nickel plating is actually Jin. The next is nickel plating.

For this reason, the Minister of Magical Technology of the Shoro Empire had never used nickel plating as a material, even though he knew of it.

However, the Minister of Magical Technology himself rarely produces anything himself.

And now, here we have seen an example of its beneficial use.

Jin's idea of using relatively inexpensive materials to create high performance products while keeping costs low was welcomed by the Minister of Magical Technology.

"This will be very helpful.

The <>, which seems to be the opposite of the <.

In fact, it was originally a .

This is one of the forms that we arranged to fit this world.

We thought that people would be surprised if we suddenly made it into an automobile type, so this is how we came up with it.

As expected, it was accepted relatively smoothly.

Therefore, the control is easy and the structure is simple.

Although it cannot perform complicated movements, this is not a problem since it is a heavy machine.

The workers, who had become accustomed to the machine, were able to use the power-assisted machine much better than Jin had expected.

(There are craftsmen or skilled operators in every world, aren't there?)

(There are craftsmen or skilled operators in every world, aren't there?) It was similar to those who can put a large-sized car in a garage without a single centimeter of deviation or carry wineglasses or eggs by heavy machinery.

For dinner, Jin was invited to join us at the insistence of the Minister of Magic and Technology, Mr. LeGray.

"Well, I wish you good luck with the construction work. Cheers.

Cheers!

First, they make a toast with a glass of wine.

"No, Mr. Jin, it has been a great pleasure to work with you."

In short, it is a thank you from the Minister of Magical Arts and Technology.

"I have also been to for a short time, and have received lectures on the <, but I must say that such a simple structure is also very deep.

"Because it is so simple, just by changing the structure a little, the performance can change drastically," he said.

"I see, that may be true. I wish I could have developed something like that ......."

Minister of Magical Technology LeGray seemed to like Jin's <> more than he had expected.

"The lecture at <> was very useful, but the practice is different, isn't it?"

Ah, you may be right. It depends on the person, theory first or practical skills first.

"That's true. Then I guess I am a practical person.

You might say that I am a scholarly type and a craftsman type.

Jin is more of a practitioner and craftsman type, so he understands the feelings of Mr. Legray.

Mr. Legray also seems to be of the disposition to make things with his own hands.

"I'm ...... so busy being a minister that I can't even do what I want to do. ......"

"...... is ......"

"In the first place, it is absurd to let a person from a technical field get involved in politics!

"...... ha......"

"...... are you listening?　Jin-dono!

"...... ha......"

Jin was even forced to listen to the complaints of the Minister of Magic and Technology, LeGray, who had spent a little time drinking.
