July 10, 3458.

This will be a memorable day for the Ars human race.

Yes, it is the day that the memorable first meeting of the <> will be held.

At 9:00 a.m. Kunlun Island time, in the main conference room of the <>.

The participants are seated at round tables.

Two representatives from each country are sitting side by side. Next to Jin is Elsa.

The only exception is Deus ex Machina.

He is the only one who is mentioned as being alone.

"Well, before we begin, let me explain one thing. This is a , in which there is no pecking order among the participants.

This explanation elicited oohs and aahs from those in the audience.

Since there were no negative reactions, Jin made another declaration.

"In the name of the Korun-kun, Jin Nido, I hereby proclaim the opening of the First World Congress.

Jin Nido's words were followed by a round of applause from all the participants.

"I will ask <> to preside this time, but I would like to ask you to choose one of the delegates to preside next time and thereafter."

Jin adds a few words. Makina followed with a few words.

"I am pleased to presume to serve as the moderator of this meeting. The secretary will be Anne, an automaton in the possession of Mr. Kunlun.

Makina and Anne stood up and bowed.

Some of the people who saw their blue hair noticed that Anne was an artifact-class automata from the time of the Great Magic War.

One of the people who noticed this was Princess Rieschen, who was sitting in the audience. She remembered her own nanny automata, Tia.

"Well, Jin-dono, could you please clarify again what is on the agenda for today's meeting?

I understand. Please refer to the materials in your hand.

I have prepared these documents for you. <

"First of all, I would like to report on and look ahead to what His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Selroa has requested of me as a "Magecraft Meister" in regards to the transportation of the continent.

"That's interesting. Please continue.

Yes. Then I have a proposal for a new system and a magical tool to improve our lives.

Makina nodded.

"Okay. The rest may come up during the meeting. Is there anyone else who would like to discuss any of these matters?　If so, please raise your hand.

No hands were raised.

"Not yet, I guess. So let's start with the first topic. Mr. Jin, please raise your hand.

"Yes, sir."

Jin ordered Butler 41 and 42 to bring a model of the monorail.

The model was constructed on a board about the size of a tatami mat.

It is called a monorail. It is a , which means one, since there is only one rail ...... track."

"Oh!"

"Oh, this!"

"I don't know what it is, but it's amazing!"

"...... This was commissioned by His Majesty Cesar of the Kingdom of Cerroa, and its purpose is to improve land transportation."

After a pause, Jin looked at King Cesar.

"That's right. I requested it the other day, Jin-dono.

"At that time, I asked him to expand the transportation network beyond the Kingdom of Celuloa to the rest of the world, and he agreed to do so.

Jin looked around at the heads of state.

"These means of transportation have <>. If they differ even slightly, they will not be compatible and will be very inefficient.

"Hmm."

"I can sort of understand that."

So far, so good, Jin felt, and decided to continue.

"This requires a dedicated track, in other words, a road to be built, which is a disadvantage in terms of cost and construction.

"Yes."

King Cesar nodded.

"Getting in and out of the car and loading and unloading will also be somewhat inconvenient due to the high location.

"That's for sure."

Jin then switched to the explanation of the advantages.

"But there are many advantages as well. First of all, it does not interfere with general traffic.

Jin explains that because it is a dedicated track, there is no need for a so-called "crossing" with a public road.

"It is also less affected by the unevenness of the ground."

If the ground is uneven on a road, it is necessary to pave or fill the road accordingly, but with an elevated road, it can be straightened.

"I see, that's great for high-speed transportation."

"For the same reason, it is possible to pass through the shortest distance possible."

"That's true."

The roads in this world are winding in places.

"And the view is nice, too."

The view out the window shouldn't be too bad because of the height, he added.

"And the main reason for me is personal injury."

Jin explained that he would like to avoid such accidents if possible, as they could have more serious consequences than a horse-drawn carriage hitting a person.

"With this , we can predict to some extent what kind of accidents will happen and where they will happen, but if it runs on public roads, it will be harder to predict."

"I see. I understand what you are saying.

King Cesar and the others nodded their heads.

"If an accident were to occur, what would the trajectory be?　...... would it be something like falling out of orbit?"

The Empress Shoro pointed out.

"Yes, that's right. If we know that, then we can figure out how to make it less likely to fall.

"I see. It's no wonder that it can happen anywhere when it comes to hitting people.

This is the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Egelea.

"We also have accidents with horse-drawn carriages every year.

And the Marchese Florenziano of the Kingdom of Elias.

"Yes, I'm sure there are other possibilities, but I think most of them are as you say.

Jin points again to the model.

"I think it would be good to use it for urban traffic at first. If we put it on a wheel and let it run in circles, we can use ......."

"Well, we don't have to make it go back and forth, so it will be easier to operate.

King Cesar nodded broadly.

"Yes. And for the construction of this orbit, the large golem of the Shoro Kingdom and the large golem of the Kingdom of Celuloa will be of great help.

"Oh, indeed!"

It is also very significant in terms of peaceful use of golems.

"Personally, I think it's important to note that this will have little impact on conventional transportation by horse-drawn wagons, etc."

"Well, long-distance transportation can be divided by and short-distance transportation can be divided by horse-drawn carriages, etc."

Prince Arthur of the Klein Kingdom was the first to understand.

"Indeed, it would be an economic setback if unemployment were to occur because of this.

Prime Minister Ardarch de Heegle of the Kingdom of Franz nodded.

"There is also the idea that the jobs created by the construction of this will stimulate the economy."

Jin added, but there was little agreement on this. It was more like they could not understand it very well.

<.

However, only Prince Arthur seemed to have some feelings about it and seemed to be thinking about it for a while.

Jin decided to explain the points to be noted.

"It is important to note that the construction of a train station will probably lead to the development of the area, but there is a possibility that there will be conflicts of interest.

This is an issue that is being discussed in contemporary Japan.

"Hmmm, I see. We must be careful.

"It seems to be difficult from the selection of the station.

The response was favorable.

This was the topic of discussion throughout the morning.
