"Did you all sleep well ......?　You don't seem to have slept well. Is there something wrong?"

Mii came over after breakfast and said this to Saki and Erza, who still looked sleepy.

Jin, by the way, used to work for a black company and can stay up all night for about two nights. Not something to brag about.

"Oh, I was up until ...... late last night because we talked too much.

When Jin said this, Mii nodded repeatedly to herself as if she understood.

"So you've seen the catalog."

Since there was no way to tell that he had not, Jin just smiled vaguely.

"Then what do you want to do today?　Shall we not go on a city tour?

"I'd like to see some ordinary stores..."

"Oh, me too!

"......, I'll go with you."

"Me too."

Mii said she would call a rickshaw and got up. Jin stopped her.

"No, I'd rather go on foot because then they'll know who I am," he said.

Mii, however, laughed at Jin's words and denied them.

"I don't think that makes sense,...... because Jin-sama's skin color is totally different from ours."

Oh, I see," he said, and Jin agreed with him. This is something that cannot be changed suddenly.

"Well then, let's go around by car ......."

Jin was about to say, "Let's go around by car " when he suddenly seemed to notice something. Then he shouted.

"Yes, let's change the tires to rubber!

The current tires were made of resilient oak wood and covered with leather, but Jin thought that rubber tires would be more comfortable to ride on.

At the same time,

"I'm going to the factory in the morning to make some modifications, so Erza and Saki can wait for me.

Jin said to the two sleep-deprived girls, "I'm going to the factory in the morning to do some remodeling.

So Jin, Hanna, and Reiko decided to go to the factory. In this case, Reiko is driving and Edgar is with Elsa.

"...... have a nice trip."

See you at lunch, Jin.

They saw him off, and Jin left the guest house.

The car was conspicuous. The whole town already knew that Jin had come in the car, and there were onlookers everywhere he went, many of them bowing to the car.

"......You kind of stood out more than you should have."

"You're so amazing, aren't you?"

The car crossed the moat and arrived in front of the factory, receiving Hannah's frank compliments.

"Welcome, sir. What can I do for you?"

The factory manager, an automaton, comes out and asks. This must have been a routine procedure.

"I need rubber tires.

Jin told the automaton, "I need rubber tires. He wanted to know how much they could handle.

The factory manager replied,

"You make tires out of rubber?　I am sorry, sir. We do not have enough gutta-percha in stock yet, so you will have to wait.

The factory manager responded in a proper manner.

"Okay. I'll wait a little bit. Hannah, let's take a look around. Can I go to ......?"

"Yes, of course. Yes, of course. One adult and two children. I will show you around.

Reiko seems to be counted as one of the children.

"Thank you."

Jin nodded and the three of us followed the factory manager automaton.

"This is the metalworking department.

There were a simple lathe, a drilling machine, and a metal band saw, and they were currently making a bicycle frame.

"This is the stone processing department.

The building is not being worked on at the moment. However, the cutters and saws for stone were better maintained than when Jin saw them the other day.

"This is the wood processing department.

No work is being done here now either. However, the tools and machine tools were well maintained here as well.

Jin and the others went up to the second floor.

"This is the chemical processing department.

They were vulcanizing a small amount of gutta-percha delivered to them to make brake pads.

Jin was impressed not only by the processing technology, but also by the fact that the word was used.

* * * * * * * * * *

By the way, Jin secretly ordered Reiko to contact the old man.

The contents of the order are as follows: <>.

The old man first dispatched Smith 11 to the forest in the western part of Lake Sayama by transporter.

Smith11 confirmed that the sap is collected from the same tea tree=Perhia in Kaina village and Horai Island.

.

Since the objective was to make tires for Jin's car locally, the old man did not hesitate to put the Perhya rubber in a container and forwarded it to the forest in the western part of Lake Sayama.

The craftsman (Smith)11 received it and mixed it in with the Perhya rubber that the local work golem was collecting.

From what we have seen, the work golem's intelligence is not very high.

They have the knowledge and judgment necessary for their work, but seem to be ignorant of other areas.

The craftsman (Smith)11 observes and confirms in a concealed manner that they can judge the quality of the new Perhian rubber, but do not care where it comes from.

They did not question the increased material, as expected.

It is easy to assume that when the autonomy of the Golem for work was considered, the situation in which materials are brought from other places was not assumed at all.

The "Mere Old Man" guessed that they thought that there would not be a big problem because they could judge the quality of the materials.

* * * * *

The amount of Perhia rubber sent from the warp gate for materials increased at once.

The factory manager does not have any doubts as to the reason for this, and immediately sends it to the production line.

(Ah, even though it is an autonomous type, it has a narrow decision-making area. ...... Is it no wonder that its information capacity is also small?)

The factory manager was a factory manager, and he did not have any question as to why the number of materials sent to the factory increased, which made Jin draw a similar conclusion as the old man.

The complete division of labor sounds good, but it is very dangerous that there is no mutual check.

(We can't interfere that much, can we? ......)

First of all, it was a good thing that the system had been restored, Jin thought to himself.

"Onii-chan, the factory manager is here.

Jin was thinking about this when Hannah's voice brought him back to himself.

"Thank you for waiting. As of this moment, our stock of gutta-percha has exceeded the specified quantity, and we are now ready to accept orders.

"Oh, okay. Then you can order from ......."

Jin gave the information to the factory manager about the size ...... of the tire he wanted, including the external shape, inside diameter, width, hardness, and cross-sectional shape.

"Yes, sir. Thank you for the detailed information. We will start production immediately.

The factory manager's automata called a supervising golem and explained the situation.

The supervisor golem goes to the gutta-percha processing line and gives instructions to the worker golem.

The work golem follows the instructions and processes the gutta-percha. ......

"Well, how should I put it, it's not very efficient.

On Horai Island, information can be communicated in an instant using manacam. Or rather, since the information is shared, the process of <> only needs to be done once at the beginning.

"But father, isn't it inevitable if we don't have a manacam?

"Well, yes."

Reiko is right.

We should not judge Horai Island by the same standard as a factory that was built more than 1000 years ago.

"In that sense, this factory is amazing, isn't it?

If you don't choose Horai Island as a comparison, this is a production facility that is unparalleled in this world.

Jin is now more and more interested in <>.

It was half an hour later that four gutta-percha tires arrived in front of Jin, just as he had requested.
