Once all the golems were in working order, the factory suddenly came to life.
"What would you like to order?
The factory manager, an automaton, came to ask again.
"Ten bicycles, please.
"Yes, sir."
Then Jin added more specifications.
"I want the tires to be made of rubber, not steel.
I was a little worried that this might not be understood, but the factory manager, an automaton, seemed to know enough about this aspect.
"Yes, sir. It is possible. But we don't have enough gutta-percha for the tires in stock yet, so it will be three or four days before we can deliver them to you.
"That's fine. Thank you very much.
"Yes, sir."
Gutta-percha is probably found in the forests west of Lake Sayama.
"The wise man (Magus) knew it well. ......"
Probably the same as gutta-percha or gutta-percha mentioned by Jin. It is a kind of natural rubber.
Jin had heard from the manager of the camera shop where he worked part-time that German camera makers used gutta-percha instead of leather for the camera's outer covering, as a kind of knowledge.
To add to my knowledge, this material was once used as a sheathing material for submarine electric cables because of its durability underwater.
Gutta-percha here may be a little different from the gutta-percha of the earth, but once again, Jin paid his respects to the achievements of the wise man (magus).
"Oh, this is great!"
Hiro's voice wakes Jin from his reverie.
The factory has come back to life, and now handles and frames are being made.
The scale and methods may be different from those of Earth's factories, but the Ars-style, or rather <> factory seems to be reasonably efficient.
"Onii-chan, that's called a "bungyo", isn't it?"
Hannah's voice. Indeed, the work golems were definitely divided into several categories: those making metal sheets from metal ingots, those making metal pipes from metal sheets, those cutting metal pipes into the required lengths, and those forming the cut metal pipes.
What was more surprising was that Hanna knew the word "division of labor.
"Heh, I read it yesterday at the library.
I read it in the library yesterday," she answered simply, but her comprehension never ceases to amaze me.
The steering wheel grips, brake pads, tires, and other parts that require rubber were completed.
"It looks like we're all set now.
By the time I came to, it was past noon. Saki was flying around among the gathered materials when Aaru pulled her out of the car, and the group decided to go back to the city for lunch.
Aaru pulled Saki, who had been flying around in the material, half-heartedly.
"Hurray, Jin-sama!"
"<>, hooray!
"...... What the hell is this?"
What awaited Jin back in the city was the welcome he received from the people of the city.
"Jin-sama is now the messiah, no, more than a messiah.
"...... give me a break."
His profession is technical, and his roots are a little, if not a lot, embarrassing for Jin, a commoner.
Although I have known nobles and royalty for a good long time, I still can't get used to them.
Even if you want to hurry past them, you cannot speed up at your own will as long as you are riding in a rickshaw.
"Hurray, Jin-sama!"
"<>, hooray!
Riding on a rickshaw that seems to be going rather slowly on purpose, Jin and the others returned to the guest house to the cheers of the residents.
"......I'm hungry."
Elsa, too, was indeed disheartened.
It was 1:00 p.m., a little late for lunch since they had taken a long time to get back.
Inside the guest house, Mii kindly invited us to have lunch alone with Jin and the others, so he could finally relax a little.
"But that's great, Jin. You're treating me like a savior.
"As for me, I'd rather not be treated like that."
Saki is impressed and Jin is disappointed.
"I just want to get to the north as soon as possible."
I know how you feel.
Jin, will you be able to go tomorrow?
"Erza, I don't think it's possible from the looks of it. The day after tomorrow, I think.
Saki makes a calm decision.
"Yes, I can read most of the books in the library tomorrow if I have a whole day!
Hannah makes a declaration that could be considered innocent, but its content is surprising.
Of course, she means that she can read all the books in her field of interest, but it is still amazing.
"Hannah, it's good to read books, but watch your brightness and your posture, okay? Take care of your eyes, okay?"
