Chapter 1839: 1839 - - 49-28 First Development Conference

The first development meeting for the <> began in a small conference room in Nido Castle.

"First of all, we are thinking of the area upstream from the village of Kaina as the target basin of the Ermee River.

Marcia explains. This is mainly a kind of presentation to Jin and Tiberio of <>.

"The purpose is to transport and move <> and river fish."

Magi sand is a source of energy for magic stoves and is a specialty product of the village of Kaina, as well as a monopoly product of the Eric Chamber of Commerce.

However, since the ones near the village have been exhausted, the place of collection has been moved upstream little by little.

In the process, a suitable place was found about 4 kilometers upstream from the previous collection site, where the river is wide and a large amount of magi sand can be collected.

However, it is difficult to transport the sand due to the distance, so we need a boat.

Incidentally, there is a gorges (meaning "throat") along the way. The river is narrow, and both banks are cut off from each other, making it difficult to reach the site on foot.

"And the problem is that the current is quite fast."

Magi sand is mixed in the sand at the bottom of the river, so it cannot be collected in places where it is too deep to stand up on one's back.

The reason is that the sand is supposed to be collected by the women of the village in between farming activities.

For example, if Jin made a golem to collect magi sand, it could still be harvested in the current location, but it would take away the work of the women in the village, and there is a risk of uprooting the resources.

Therefore, Jin has basically kept out of this issue and left it to the autonomy of the village.

For the same reason, he does not aim at the Magi Sand deposit in the upper reaches of the river.

"The width of the river in the target basin is about 5 meters at the narrowest point. From there, we would like the maximum width of the boat to be no more than 2 meters."

At this point Tiberio asked why that number was given.

"It is very difficult to answer that. ....... I can only say that from my experience as a shipbuilder (shipwright) and a ship operator.

"These kind of safety standards are probably based on rules of thumb."

Jin added. These standards vary slightly from time to time, becoming more lenient when there are no accidents, and more stringent when accidents occur.

"The river is more than deep enough for small boats, but when loading and unloading magi sand, we don't expect to have a port or pier, so we want the bottom of the boat to be flat or close to it.

He adds that the bottom of the river where the boat is to be anchored should be sand or gravel, just in case. He doesn't want the boat to be used in such a way that it will climb up on the rocks.

"As for the river current, it is less than one meter per second at its heaviest point. Therefore, the maximum speed of the boat should be about twice that.

This is also a rule of thumb.

The most important thing is directional stability. I tried this today on a raft, and there are some eddies in the river bends, and the raft is swung around. The same seems to be true for small boats. More at ......."

I must say that Marcia has gathered a lot of information in just one day today.

"Thank you. "Thank you. That's what I'm talking about, Marcia."

Jin also praised her.

This practical way of gathering data is something that Jin could never have done.

Jin would have built a ship with a hull that would defy the rocks and a power that would allow it to reach speeds ten times faster than the rapids.

（You reminded me of something I had almost forgotten.)

(You reminded me of something I had almost forgotten.) In this sense, I would like to thank Marcia.

The development meeting ended at 6:00 p.m., about the same time the evening bell rang.

This bell is nice, Jin. It rings in the morning, at noon and in the evening?"

Marcia said she heard the noon bell and the evening bell.

"Oh, yes...it rings at 5 p.m. during the whole month of April."

Jin explained that since late spring, when the days are longer, the bell has been ringing at 6:00 p.m. At the same time, the morning bell has been ringing at 6:00 p.m. At the same time, the morning bell rings at 7 a.m. in winter time and 6 a.m. in summer time.

"Maybe we should try this in our clan territory too.

Even Theon was saying something like that.

Then it was time for dinner.

To welcome Marcia and Rodrigo, the main dish was their favorite fish.

The grilled river fish is also delicious.

The kabayaki sauce has an indescribably good taste.

The dishes were grilled omasu (a fish similar to landlocked salmon) with salt and broiled mountain stream eel.

Stream eels are fish similar to eels that live in the lower reaches of the Erme River from the village of Kaina (but still in the middle reaches of the river as a whole), and they do not go down to the sea but stay in the river. That's why Jin named it Keiryu-Unagi (mountain stream eels).

"They are nocturnal and do not taste good when grilled, so they were not targeted for fishing.

But to Jin, who knew kabayaki, they were a treat.

"It goes well with white rice, doesn't it?"

Zion seemed to like the combination of kabayaki and rice very much.

"......!"

And Tiberio, who was tasting the food for the first time, just kept on eating without saying a word.

* * * *

"...... and the basis of the ship is ......."

After dinner, at Tiberio's insistence, a lecture on the basics of boats was given. The lecturer was Rodrigo.

"Well, Jin-sama told me a term called , which is what makes a ship float. ......

Tiberio listens intently.

"The shape of the bottom of the ship can be flat bottom, round bottom, V-bottom, etc. ......"

Jin was listening beside me and thought Rodrigo's explanation was well organized and quite easy to understand.

"...... and, well, that's about it."

It's nighttime now, so I leave in less than an hour.

"Thank you very much."

"No, I'm happy to have an enthusiastic technician."

Rodrigo seems to have a good feeling about Tiberio.

After that, Rodrigo and Tiberio were making small talk and drinking wine in the lounge of Nido Castle, but Jin could no longer keep them company and returned to the bedroom where Elsa and the twins were waiting.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

"...... headache"

"......I've got a cancer ......."

"You've had too much to drink, Dad."

The next morning, Rodrigo and Tiberio suffer from hangovers.

"How much did you drink?"

"About ......5 bottles."

You've had too many!

Then the Jin family arrived.

"Oh, I knew it. You said you drank a lot of wine last night. ......<<>"

Erza casts a healing spell on the blue-faced couple, and they instantly look refreshed.

"Thank you, Elsa."

Marcia thanked on their behalf.

"Rodrigo, you should have used the detoxification function of the bracelet.

Elsa said, and Rodrigo looked surprised to hear that.

"Oh, there it is ......."

He had been suffering from a headache and had not been able to think of it.

So Jin and the others went with him to the dining room of Nido Castle.

This morning's menu consisted of morning rice gruel, miso soup with topopo (potato) and marunegi (onion), pickled ume plum, oshinko (pickles), sweet omelet, and hojicha (roasted green tea).

It was a menu for the day after drinking.

"......Ah, it's so good for the stomach."

The hangover was gone, but the tenderness of the porridge seemed to have penetrated his weakened stomach.

"Father, you've got to pull yourself together," Marcia said sincerely.

Marcia said deeply.
