Magicraft Meister Part 3

Jude Ida answered Jin's question about the cactus.

"Here in the former wilderness southeast of Lindau, we have a field."

The common perception is that cacti are tropical and prefer dryness, but this is incorrect, as many species are surprisingly water-loving and tolerant of cold.

They grow in areas with distinct wet and dry seasons and are conspicuous by blooming during the dry season, which is probably why they are thought to prefer the dry season.

Some species of cactus can reproduce even in frosty climates.

In fact, the prickly prickly cactus that Jin was stabbed by in the past thrived in an environment with light ice.

"I see."

"There's also a place where they grow bamboo, and in a way, they've been instrumental in making the area greener."

"That's nice."

Most of the land Jin knew in this region was wasteland, but recently, looking down from the sky, he saw a patchwork of green areas scattered here and there.

If the area of green space 400 years ago was about 3 percent, it is now 30 percent.1 The green area has increased by a factor of 30.

It may be difficult to increase the area further without an increase in precipitation.

(Climate can also change if the humidity in the air changes, right?)

I thought I heard that the climate on the earth has been changing in a long and short span of time, such as ice ages, global warming, and small ice ages.

There is also a question as to how stable the planet is since it was originally remodeled by the "Origin.

Tens of thousands of years are just a blink of an eye before the cosmic time.

(In short, as long as it doesn't go to waste.)

The question is whether rainfall soaks into the ground as it falls, or whether it is absorbed by humans and crops before being discharged and soaking into the ground again.

In particular, drinking water, domestic water, and irrigation water make up the majority of the water used by humans.

Of these, drinking water and domestic water are used as and thus circulate in the atmosphere.

Part of the irrigation water is absorbed by crops and transformed into carbohydrates through photosynthesis.

In this sense, the total amount of is decreasing, but in the long run, it can be said to be circulating between organisms and inanimate objects.

(In other words, if we replenish the amount of water used by crops through photosynthesis, land subsidence is less likely to occur?)

) These are some of the thoughts that Hitoshi had.

"No, thank you very much for the food.

As expected of a big trading company, they used good green tea leaves, so Jin was able to enjoy the tea.

"Thank you very much.

Jude Ida is in a good mood now that she has been able to entertain Jin.

He may have thought that by entertaining the <<3rd generation>, he was doing a favor to the <<2nd generation>, to whom he owed so much, but since he is still himself, even if he is a <, he has more than served his purpose.

Jin at that time, or even now, is not acting with the expectation of getting something in return.

"Well then, I will take you to the warehouse after this.

"Thank you."

Since he did not know where the warehouse was, he needed directions by all means.

"Please look around the store while I prepare the car.

One corner of the store is a display area for bamboo and products made from them, which is a delight to the eye.

"I like this one."

Reinhardt, who was not very talkative, praised a light made of a thin <>...... material that can be called bamboo string.

"Hou......"

In modern Japan, there is also a traditional craft called <>, which uses thin bamboo strips called sen-suji to make artistic folk tools.

Lights (or more precisely, their covers), flower vases, insect cages, baskets, bags, etc. .......

Jin was glad to have such an opportunity, since he had good skills but not much sense of aesthetics.

The light that Reinhardt praised was a tabletop type.

The hoya, surrounded by a thin bamboo ladder, is elegant.

Incidentally, although it is called a hoya, it does not catch fire because it is a magic lamp.

As a souvenir, Reinhard bought the light.

The price was only 1,500 tol (about 15,000 yen), It was a reasonable price.

"Here you go, sir."

A few minutes later, Jude Ida personally came to call Jin and the others when the Golem car was ready.

"How..."

The prepared Golem truck seemed to be the latest model, a type that Jin and Reinhard had never seen before.

It was designed for rough terrain, had six wheels so that it could carry heavy loads, and was quite comfortable to ride in.

It took about three minutes to arrive at the warehouse.

The warehouse was located in the warehouse district adjacent to the airfield.

Coincidentally, had landed about 200 meters from the warehouse.

"So this is the technology of the Magecraft Meister, the Magical Engineer. ......"

<.

When Ida's excitement subsided, Jin asked.

"Well, how much does a <> weigh?"

"Uh, about 13 kilograms."

AIDA immediately answered Jin's question.

"That would be 65 tons for 5,000 pieces. ...... That's impossible to do in one go."

< has a maximum takeoff weight of 10 tons.

"Can you divide it into 10 times of 500 bottles each or ...... can you hold them for me in the meantime?　Of course, we will pay the deposit fee.

Yes, that's fine. Yes, that's fine. We won't even charge you for the management fee.

"Oh, that's not right.

No, no, it's just good publicity to know that our company has been able to procure supplies from the Magecraft Meister.

Jude Ida stubbornly refused to accept the additional charge.

So Jin relented,

"In that case, thank you very much," he said.

He decided to leave the car with us for a few days.

Since the distance was only about 200 meters, it was easy to transport the <>.

<.

The pipes were pre-bundled into bundles of five each, so each Sky unit could carry five pipes.

With 20 bodies working together, 500 pipes could be carried in five round trips, which means that 500 pipes could be transported to the cargo room in just five minutes. In just 5 minutes, 500 pipes were in the cargo room.

Since there was still room in the cargo hold, we decided to load 500 joints as well.

Each joint weighed about one kilogram, and 500 joints weighed 500 kilograms.

They were packed in boxes of 50 joints, so 10 of us had to carry one box each and that was it.

"...... is fast, isn't it?"

Jude Ida watched the work with a slightly stony look on her face.

After all, it took less than 15 minutes from the start of the work.

"That's all we have to carry out for now. The rest will be picked up over the next 5 days.

Jin thought that from the next day, he would use < to transport the cargo with a two-plane system.

As a side note, < did not exist at this point. He intends to build it back in Horai Island.

"Yes, yes!　We'll be waiting for you!

Jude Ida gave a salute to Jin.

"Now, please stay away from ......, because there will be wind on takeoff. ......, then."

"Thank you very much!"

Jude Ida closed with the standard line and left the warehouse district in his car.

The wind came up behind him and he looked back to see the <> about to ascend.

"...... Magecraft Meister, Jin-sama ......? You are just as the legend says. His predecessor must have been an unconventional person as well.

After muttering to himself, Jude Ida returned to the town.
