After lunch, we are discussing a pilot decontamination project.
"...... So, Mister Lorona, you say we should first assess the soil contamination before moving on to the next stage?"
"Yes. Otherwise, we won't know how deep we need to decontaminate.
"That's true. I was wondering if we could analyze it as we work."
"Well, if it was contaminated to a significant depth, the workload would be different, wouldn't it? I don't think starting a day or two early here will have much effect on the overall progress."
"Indeed. Let's follow Mr. Lorona's advice here.
So, we decided to analyze the soil first, and then conduct a trial decontamination operation.
We will make sure to wear protective goggles, gas masks, and dust-proof gloves during the survey.
We have those ready for you.
"Oh, that's great, Mr. Jin!
"After the measurement, let's clean ourselves up."
"Yes, Makina-dono is right.
The meeting was concluded with the setting of some details and others.
The meeting was over.
Jin and Makina rented a workshop in the castle of the Kingdom of Selroa, and decided to make a new type of that Jin had devised.
"What do you think the maximum length of the pipe to be hammered in should be?"
"Wouldn't 20 meters be enough?"
"Well, if it's ......, we should be able to extend it in a telescopic way, or we should be able to join them together."
"I'd prefer to be able to add on to it. The thickness should remain the same."
"Okay."
The basic length of the pipe will be 5 meters, and it can be connected to other pipes in turn.
The thickness of the pipe is 50 mm in outside diameter and 40 mm in inside diameter. In other words, the wall thickness of the pipe is 5 mm. The material is light silver.
An adamantite tip is attached to the tip of the pipe, which is rotated and driven into the pipe so that it can penetrate a few obstacles.
If there is something that cannot be penetrated by this method, we will have to change the location.
If it is designed for Horai Island, a transfer device will be attached to the tip to transfer materials, but this is for general use.
< function would be passed through the pipe and analyzed at each depth.
The results of the analysis are sent to the recorder through a mithril silver coated wire.
This would take about fifteen minutes per soil analysis, Jin and the others estimated.
"You two are doing a great job, aren't you?
Arnold, who had been watching Jin and Makina's work, said in admiration.
Arnold had been asked by the members of the to improve the magic tools for analysis, but Jin and Makina had gone far beyond that, and had created new tools rather than remodeling them.
"Let's make ten of these ......"
Jin and I will make 5 units each. ...... Oh, we're running low on materials."
There was light silver, but not enough adamantite to make enough chips for ten drilling rigs.
"We'll just have to make as much as we can and use it all."
"Now we just need to see how long we can keep it <."
"That's ...... right, since you'll be traveling with and anyway, so either I or Machina will be with you. ......
"I see, we can fix it each time."
I'll take care of it.
"Okay."
and have plenty of adamantite in stock.
If we run out, we can use the warp gate to get some from Horai Island.
In other words, it is possible to reinforce it secretly in case of emergency. .......
That night, a small banquet was held at the Royal Castle in the Kingdom of Selroa for those involved in the <.
"Master Rorona, I hope you will give us another lecture."
"Yes, when you call on me.
"If you wish, I will ask the president of the university to give you a lecture!
"I would like to hear your lecture on decontamination!
Thank you very much!
<
"...... So, Arnold-san, you were in a technical position at the time of the <>."
"Yes, I was. What about Delphina?"
"Perhaps a golem I made or designed was used in the war."
Oh, you were a golem technician.
Yes.
I can cook a little too, but not nearly as much as Jin.
"Oh, now that you mention it, I can't say the same thing. After all, I am the of our generation.
Arnold and Delfina, being < in a sense, also had something in common and were talking.
Jin and Makina are talking with Marcel, the king's younger brother.
"Jin-dono, Makina-dono, I am very sorry for your loss.
"No, no, no, it's just another duty.
Jin is right, that pollution is something that must be dealt with someday.
"With your skills, I'm sure the decontamination will be completed in a very short time."
Bowanni said that the two of them were a great help.
Jin, however, had one concern.
However, Jin had one concern: tomorrow, March 30, would be Merce's birthday.
He felt guilty that he had been so busy lately that he had forgotten Hanna's birthday.
And since Melze is a young lady in my charge, I would like to give her some kind of a gift.
As expected, under the current circumstances, I can't take her on a picnic like I did with Elsa. .......
(Well, it's not like she's an automaton ...... either. ......)
Machina, who was aware of Jin's situation, took care of most of the correspondence with the Kingdom of Celuloa.
* * * *
After the banquet, Jin retired to his guest room and consulted with Reiko and Hope.
"...... So, tomorrow, when I fly away in the <>, I'll temporarily switch places with my <>."
"Yes, I understand."
He pretends to go to the bathroom and goes to Loisart through the warp gate.
"So, what should I give him? ......"
"Father, since you are going to the garden party next time, why don't you give her some trinkets?
"Oh, yes. We can put a simple self-defense charm in it. ......"
No, you don't have to put it there, do you?
"No, since Merce has been kidnapped before, I'd like to at least add , , and a ."
"...... If that's what your father wants to do, that's fine."
"Well, since we're not a family, we can't wear bangles. So a necklace?
If he wears it all the time, I think it should be a ring.
I guess you're right. If that's the case, I guess you want something ...... simple, right?
In the Shoro Empire, it is customary for rings given to relatives and the like to be simple and unadorned, just as a matter of etiquette.
This is only a customary practice, but it seems to be mostly observed.
"If it looks silver ......, it is mithril silver. You can engrave <> on it and ...... Oh, there's not much magic power in melze,...... but you can't attach a magi crystal to it either. What should we do ......?"
