"Space base or ......"

who was the head of the administration of the Kunlun Island wanted to be the head of the administration of the space base.

"Shall we build a space base that orbits Hale?"

Jin said,

"Hmm, that's a good idea.

"Oh, that's a good idea.

"That sounds fun!

Everyone agreed.

"Okay, let's do it then. First, let's see what kind of base we can make. ......"

The first person to jump to the conclusion was Reinhardt.

"The moon (UNY) is like a space base, right?　Maybe a modified asteroid like that?"

"Or else, a spherical spaceship type?"

"A disk-shaped base like <> is not suitable for space.

"If it's a base, I'd rather focus on defense and observation than mobility.

"Might it be necessary to launch a meteorite?

Various opinions were expressed.

After a comprehensive review, we came up with the following ideas.

<, i.e., 300 meters in diameter, as a base.

The living space is minimized and used for outfitting energy facilities and defensive equipment.

A <> is essential as an observation device.

The propulsion system is a <> and a .

Many ultra-compact observation devices, called , will also be carried. These < were originally designed to measure high concentrations of free magical element (ether) in space, but they have many applications.

The defensive device is also equipped with an Aegis shield to protect it from meteorites.

"Something like this?"

"Well, the big one is good, isn't it?"

"Yes, small ones can be added later.

This is the way of magical engineering.

"Okay, let's start building with these specs. The arsenal on the moon would be good.

Since the moon with less gravity is easier to build, Jin decides to build the huge spaceships there.

Also, the (near) vacuum condition is advantageous from the viewpoint of metal corrosion.

"My old man, please cooperate with of the moon and start building this spaceship and space base.

<

"It's not an urgent matter, so just build at normal speed."

Jack is familiar with this type of spaceship, as he has built them many times before, regardless of their size.

Master Jin, you can count on us.

"Please, Jack."

Thus began the construction of the space base for <>.

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

"Well, that's it."

Jin thinks it will take about a month to build at normal speed.

It was just lunch time, so he went to the cafeteria and found that the food was already prepared.

The menu was cool since it was mid-summer.

Cold barley, somen noodles, and zarusoba are on the menu.

According to the JAS (Japanese Agricultural Standards)

Somen: less than 1.3 mm in diameter

Cold barley: more than 1.3 mm and less than 1.7 mm in diameter

The thin ones are called "somen" and the thin ones are called "barley". In other words, thin somen is somen, and slightly thicker is yakiyamugi.

In fact, there seems to be some differences in the manufacturing process of hand-pulled somen, such as applying oil to prevent sticking, but these differences are not constant.

Even if they did not know such things, everyone was choosing noodles according to their own taste as long as they could enjoy them.

"Somen noodles have a nice texture," "Soba noodles have a nice aroma.

"Soba has a nice aroma," "Soba has a nice flavor," "Somen has a crunchy texture like cold barley.

I like the chewy texture of cold barley.

All the members of the Jin family were sipping the noodles with great skill.

The sauce is also very creative, allowing you to enjoy the different soup stock, different flavors, and different thicknesses.

You can also choose your favorite condiments such as wasabi, green onion, and ginger.

The soup made from the broth made from this meat is good for chilled barley.

"I can't get enough of the ginger with it."

"Soba should be served with wasabi and green onion.

"Agedama (fried egg) is a good way to add a different texture to your soba.

After enjoying the cold soba, finish it off with hot soba tea. Sobayu (buckwheat water) is also available.

"Ah, it's delicious!"

It seems that everyone has had their fill.

By the way," he said, "I'd like to ask you a few questions.

"By the way, Mr. Jin.

Licia opened her mouth as she sipped her buckwheat tea.

"I heard that Toka village is deserted now.

"Ah, ...... yes."

"The hot springs are no longer running."

I guess so.

...... can't something be done?

"I'm not so sure."

Jin said, "If you ask me if I can do it or not, I can do it, but it won't do any good if I do everything for you.

It would be fine at the time, but as soon as we stopped following up, the decline would begin.

"I guess we'll have to take care of ourselves in the end. ......"

Jin also took care of and meddled in many things 400 years ago, but you can see the results of that 400 years later.

"I'm finally realizing that, though."

Jin smiles self-mockingly.

He explains that he would like to refrain from such interference from now on.

"So, yes, ...... it would be good to re-excavate the hot springs. After that, they'll have to figure out how to revitalize the village on their own. We can help you, but we need you to do it on your own.

"I understand, sir.

Jin remembered that when he had visited Toka Village before, the village chief had told him that he liked airplanes and flying machines.

"Why don't we have an air race?"

"Air race?"

"Yes. I believe the air currents are stable around Toka village.

Yes, there is a gently rolling grassland on the west side of Toka village, near the Kutsudo mine.

"If we hold an air race there, tourists will come.

With the exception of Lake Tosmo and Lake Asur, most of the large areas suitable for air racing are in the suburbs, so it is a pastime that cannot be held in the city.

"It sounds interesting.

"Now we just need to find a way to get it to be held in Toca Village."

Sounds fun.

A race?

Reinhardt joined in, Guth became interested, and eventually the whole family decided to consider it.
