Now, in front of Jin was a map of the island where the institute is located. It was the result of the glider golem.
I see, this island is almost circular. The southeast side of the island is gouged out to form a bay.
"Father, let's name this island, too.
Reiko, the automaton who was looking at the map with Jin, said.
"I guess so. ......"
Jin ponders.
"Yamato......Akitsushima......Yashima......"
The names sounded familiar. It is Jin, after all.
"Yes, let's go with 'Horai Island'."
Horai is a legendary island in the East Sea of ancient China where a goddess resides. It was a good name for Jin.
"And since this bay is located in the southeast, ...... southeast is also called Tatsumi, so let's go with ."
Jin was Jin, after all.
"So, in the center of this Horai Island is , a little over 3000 meters high. If we use it well, we can cultivate plants in cold regions.
"The institute is located in the middle of Mt. It is a remnant of the island of 1,000 years ago.
"Yes, there are wetlands and ponds. We could call it the central plateau.
Jin's naming style is on a roll.
"For the time being, let's build an orchard and fields around here so that we can be self-sufficient.
"Okay. I will instruct Perid and Topaz to do so.
Reiko agrees with Jin's decision. She quickly gives instructions.
"So, the north side is a primeval forest. Is it suitable for forestry? And to the east, there are bushes and grasslands. It would be nice to have a pasture or something. And to the south, wetlands and grasslands, and a river. Maybe we can make rice paddies."
"What are rice fields, father?"
Reiko asks suspiciously. Reiko asks suspiciously, because the knowledge she has received from Jin is not complete.
"Oh. A rice paddy is a field dedicated to the crop of rice. I used to eat rice as my staple food in my previous world.
Reiko looks at Jin with distant eyes,
"I understand. So you want to eat this crop of rice.
"That's right. I don't know if it exists in this world, but I'd like to find it. I don't know if it exists in this world, but I'd like to find it.
Jin continues to examine the map.
"The west side is a wasteland. It looks like the remains of mud and stones from the collapse of Horai-san and the flow of lava from a long time ago. There may be mineral resources here.
"Yes. It's a lower priority, but it needs to be investigated.
So, Tatsumi Bay...
Reiko changes the subject.
"When I went out to look for your father, I told you that I went out to sea, and I re-entered the sea from here. There is an abundance of coral on the ocean floor in this area.
"Coral. We could collect some. Wait, if it's a coral reef, shouldn't there be plenty of fish?
I remember watching a nature documentary program a long time ago that showed that coral reefs have many kinds of fish.
"Then, it would not be a bad idea to build a fish pond here and cultivate fish.
"Shall we make a special golem and leave it to him?
We don't have enough manpower to do everything we want. But Jin and the others had the means to solve this problem.
"Yes, that's right. At the same time, I would like to build a harbor here in Tatsumi Bay and put a ship on it.
A ship?
"A ship?" "Yes. I want to build a big one, about 200 meters long in the end.
Two hundred meters is completely Jin's hobby.
It would be nice to travel on the sea. ......Well, we have to develop the power source first.
There is still a long way to go, but at the same time he is looking forward to it.
"Well, that's about it for now."
Having grasped the terrain and decided on a course of action, Jin took a breath, biting into a piece of fruit resembling an orange and muttering, "Well, that's about it for now.
"This way, it's clear which items are high priority and which items are low priority.
After all, the first priority was to secure food.
"We have already transplanted fruit trees similar to the ones your father mentioned, ."
"You're fast. That's what I'm talking about."
Perid and Topaz worked together with their men using magic, so it only took them a couple of days to finish.
"So, the first thing we need to do is to secure wheat.
Wheat is the staple food in this world. Wheat and barley were grown.
"We need to buy enough to eat and enough for seeds. But where should we go? And we don't have any money."
There was a lot of money in the lab, but none in currency.
"I have an idea of a town where I could buy some. That's where I moved to for the fifth time."
"I see. I'll come with you then. So, for the money, do you want me to sell the Magi Crystal or something I made?
Reiko nodded her head at this. It is not surprising since neither Jin nor Reiko know much about this world.
"Well, I guess I'll just have to take some Magi Crystals with me and make a decision at the destination.
"Yes, I think that's a good idea."
"All right, let's go then."
"Yes. The corresponding warp gate is here.
Reiko had written the destination on the warp gate she had set up, so it was easy to understand. The warp gate had on it.
Is this the town?
"No, it is more of a city than a town. There is a hidden warp gate in the forest about three kilometers before the city.
