Chapter 40: 40 - 02-01 Glider Golem

Somehow, the year had changed in this world's calendar, but Jin and the others were completely unaware of it.

"......I'm bored."

Jin ate nothing but fruits and nuts day after day.

"Oh, I want to eat rice. If I don't have any, I'll just eat bread.

It seems that he has grown tired of eating rice and misses his old diet.

"I'll buy some wheat somewhere..."

"Father, in that case, let's plant a field here on the island.

At Jin's murmur, Reiko suggested.

"Well, we have to buy seeds, but we have to prepare a field.

"Yes. So, why don't you leave it to the golem maids, Topaz and Aqua?

Topaz is earthy and Aqua is watery. That's a good idea.

Jin nodded his head. Reiko said,

"Then we'll need golems to work under them.

"Oh, I see. We can make that too.

So they decide to make a golem that will work under not only Aqua and Topaz, but also the five golem maids. Jin and Reiko work together to finalize the specifications.

"No magical skin, and you don't need clothes, do you?"

"Yes, that's right. Instead, we'll plating the surface with light silver and change the color.

"What?"

Jin explains to Reiko. Light silver is an isotope of titanium, and the color of titanium can be changed by adjusting the thickness of the oxide film on the surface.

These were knowledge that Jin had acquired at a factory (related to metals) where he worked on modern Earth.

"I see, I understand now. That's my father."

He immediately begins to make a golem. The basic form is the same as that of Golem Maid. The basic form is the same as that of GolemMaid, but the structure is considerably simplified. The control system is the main focus. It has an autonomous intelligence, and adjusts itself to listen not only to its superiors, the maids, but also to its superiors, Reiko and Jin.

"I will make the body, so your father will take care of the ether converter, the mana driver, and the nucleus.

"Okay, here we go."

The simple tasks were divided between Reiko and Jin, and the key complex tasks were carried out by Jin. Two days later, five types of Golem, ten of each, were completed.

Two days later, five types of golem maids of ten each were completed.

Reiko's suggestion was accepted by Jin,

"Yes, that's right. Topaz is for land development. Aqua is for flood control. Perid will take care of the housework. Ruby and Amezu will take care of the island's defense.

I think that's good.

Okay, Topaz, Aqua, Perido, Ruby, Amez. I'll put you under my command. Keep up the good work! And your golems, please.

Yes, master.

Please take care of them.

The five golem maids bowed to Jin, and the golems under their command bowed first to Jin and then to their boss's maids. Topaz and Aqua went outside the institute, and Perid made rounds of each room. Ruby and Ames also went outside with their men.

Reiko then said,

"Father, there are still two left, what are they?"

Jin asked, looking at the two golems that had not yet been activated.

"Yes, these are Reiko's men. Reiko will be busy with many things from now on, so I made her subordinates."

"My subordinates?"

Yes. They should be as good as Golem Maid. They just don't look the same.

Yes, the two golems still lying there are small and about the same size as Reiko.

"I'd like to link them with Reiko before activating them. How's that sound?"

"Your father made them with me in mind, I can't deny that."

He looks slightly happy as he says this. Jin is relieved to see that. He had been wondering what he would do to convince him if he would say something like < again.

"Well, come here then. ...... mana linkage ...... that's it,<>"

Two golems rise, one golden, the other silver.

One is gold, the other silver. "Nice to meet you, father, sister.

The golems greeted each other. By sister, of course, I mean Reiko.

"Yes, nice to meet you. ...... father, what are their names?"

"Well, they are ...... under Reiko's direct supervision, so you should name them, right?"

Reiko thought for a while,

"Well, the golden one is Soleil and the silver one is Luna."

She was much more reasonable than Jin.

"Yes, I am Soleil."

"Yes, I'm Luna."

Now that the manpower shortage was pretty much over, Jin could go on with his problem-solving.

"Reiko, we can't make good use of this island if we don't know the topography. Don't you have a map?"

Reiko looked a little puzzled,

"Well, it has changed so much since your mother's time that we need to make a new one.

Reiko tells us that it seems to have been uplifted during the past 1000 years.

"I see, then it is imperative that we get a complete picture of this island."

Jin crosses his arms and ponders.

"We can do the surveying much later, but I'd like to know the general topography and size of the area."

It would be a great help if we could take aerial photos or something, but we don't have the means to fly in the sky in this world yet. Jin was still pondering,

"Yes!　Reiko, help me a little."

Jin seemed to have an idea and went to the workshop.

"Father, what are you doing?"

Reiko looked at Jin suspiciously,

"I want to observe the island from the sky and know the approximate topography. For that purpose, I'm going to build a golem that can fly."

"In the sky?

Reiko was surprised. Even her predecessors had never thought of such a thing.

"Yes, well, even if it can fly, it will only glide after being launched by magic power.

In other words, a glider. The procedure is to make a model glider, turn it into a golem, have it observe the ground while gliding, and create a map upon its return. In this case, the scale is assumed to be approximate.

"I understand what you are saying, but can you really fly?

Reiko is skeptical, since only a part of Jin's knowledge has been transcribed.

"Yes, well, proof is better than argument, so let's give it a try.

So, a glider was built using light silver, and a golem nucleus was mounted on it, along with a magi-crystal to ensure vision. Although the nucleus is small, it only operates the elevator, directional rudder, and auxiliary wing (aileron). It was completed in a short time.

"Does this thing fly?"

"Yeah, watch this."

Jin goes outside the institute to test fly the glider golem in the vestibule, which had already been cleared by Topaz and Aqua.

"Okay, let's throw it.

First, the glider is lightly pushed forward. The glider glides straight up, flies about 50 meters, and lands.

"It really flew!

Reiko seems impressed. Her face does not show much yet.

We repeat this several times to make the glider golem remember how to control it. And now it's time for the real thing.

"Reiko?"

Yes, Father.

Throw this as high as you can.

With her full power, she'll be able to reach three kilometers into the sky.

Yes, sir.

Reiko gets into throwing position.

"Glider golem, observe and remember the island. And come back here.

Just as Jin gives the order,

"I'm coming!"

Reiko throws the glider golem as fast as she can. It soars into the sky so quickly that it is invisible to the naked eye.

"How's it doing?"

Jin asks Reiko, who can still see it.

Yes, it is still rising. Still ...... gliding. It's coming down slowly. ......"

The glider golem landed in front of the institute two hours later.

It was the next day that a map based on the images of the island stored in the Golem's core was completed.
