For what, they had to deal with the visiting aristocrats and influential people.
<, even if it's as thin as a spider's thread, and they have been busy since this morning.
So Jin and Erza pretend to go to the restroom and use the emergency to , and then to Horai Island. <.
"I'm relieved."
"...... agree."
The two of us slumped into our chairs on Horaijima.
It had only been an hour, but they were mentally exhausted beyond belief.
I don't think I'll be able to recover after another two hours or so like this.
"I'm sorry old man, but I'll leave it to you.
"......"
I think it would be more useful for me to leave it to the old man to record the faces and personalities of the nobles.
"Father, would you like something to drink?"
Reiko called out to them, seeing that they were both exhausted.
"Oh, yes. Green tea would be good. ......
"Sure."
There are some chanokis planted on Horaijima, but the tea leaves will not be ready for harvest until next year or so.
Hence the tea we buy from the Shoro Kingdom.
"Ah, it smells good.
Since it is a sencha, the temperature should be about 80 degrees Celsius.
Jin, who had a cat's tongue, drank the tea while letting it cool down a little.
"By the way, Jin," said Erza as she drank the tea.
Erza spoke while drinking the tea.
"What happens when there is no more free magic element (ether) at all?
She must have been thinking of the south.
"We won't be able to use magic tools. < was used."
"Indeed.
"As for humans, the mana in our bodies won't be reduced to zero, so we should be able to breathe a little easier.
It is like when a demon tribe comes to an area where there is little free magic element (ether).
In addition, the ancient artifact of the Shoro Kingdom, the giant golem, was sealed underground where the concentration of free magic element (ether) was lowered to near zero.
Considering the fact that even if a human entered there, he/she would not be able to use magic, it was thought that the effect on the human body would be slight.
"If ...... is the case, don't we need to develop a non-magical power source?"
As an emergency, that is.
"Indeed. That would be ......."
Jin thought of several possible sources of power, but would be the best, he thought.
"Batteries or ......"
I know the principle of motors, so I should be able to make one, but what about batteries?
"I don't know the ...... principle."
At best, Jin could only make a rudimentary battery by soaking different metals in an electrolyte.
"...... hmmm ......"
At first, Jin thought he would try to make a motor.
The most difficult part was the winding. The copper wire must be coated with a heat-resistant and insulating coating.
"......I guess lacquer."
Jin decides to use copper wire coated with lacquer, hardened and baked at high temperature.
"The armature is silicon steel, right?"
That was the end of the story.
"...... is it difficult to make a strong magnet ......?"
Although he knew the names ferrite, neodymium, and samarium cobalt, even he did not know the manufacturing process.
