"Rain, or ......"

The rain falling in the Duchy of Jagus was being watched from the window of his office by the King of Jagus, Ni?stor Cirilo Jagus (Ni?stor II).

"It's rare to see such a heavy rainfall in the summer.

Lord King Niestor II stood up to have a talk with the for the first time in a long time.

He felt a little unsteady as he stood up, but he did not mind and headed for the basement.

He opened the hidden door to his office and went down the stairs. Holding on to the railing, his knees buckling, he walks down the stairs. .......

He opens the door at the place where he landed with a special key...... spherical magic crystal in his hand.

Then, stepping into the basement, Niestor II was confronted by a gigantic magical brain.

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

<>, was in the same basement, listening intently to the Prince's questions.

Of course, he is invisible.

"It is raining. Why is this?"

was the first question from the king.

"Water vapor in the air collects, forms water droplets and ice droplets in the sky, and falls to the ground. That is rain."

The obvious answer came back, but it was not what Niestre II wanted.

"It's summer now. It's rare to get a good amount of rain in the summer. But it is raining. Why is this?"

"Because the conditions for rain have been met."

Why are the conditions right?

Because the conditions are right for it to come together.

"Ummm ......"

As usual, the king does not know how to ask questions, Shinobu I thought.

(Isn't that the part where he asks, "Isn't this rain man-made?　(Isn't that the part where you ask if this rain is man-made?)

However, this magic brain <> does not have a terminal to obtain outside information, so in the case of that question, the answer would be something like <>.

"Is there any disadvantage to this rain?"

"Yes."

"Is there any advantage to this rain?"

"Yes."

The answer lacks credibility because <> has only limited data, but Shinobi-ichi smiles bitterly.

"What are the benefits?"

"Crops will grow better. The water supply for daily life will be plentiful."

"I see. ...... What are the disadvantages?"

"There is a possibility of flooding."

Listening to these responses, Shinobu I felt that was still in its infancy. At the same time, he also realized that it had advanced functions.

As for the points that he judged as immature, for example, the old man asked < would have asked for the missing information.

did not do that.

But at the same time, it means that one has a high level of judgment to be able to make a decision with insufficient data.

However, it is not necessarily a good thing to be able to do so at this stage.

Because of the lack of data, there is a high possibility that the answer you get may be wrong.

"What should we do about this rain?"

"We need to store water."

What else?

"Prepare for flooding."

"......"

Shinobu I felt that such a question-and-answer session would lead to a muddled policy.

However, it seems that not all policies reflect the answers of <>.

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

In the end, after about half an hour of fruitless exchange from Shinobi I's point of view, Prince Niestre II left the basement.

(I better find out how this will be reflected in the policy.)

Shinobu I thought of this and made a proposal to the old man.

>, but not from this time on. Let's make the arrangements right away.

The old man was thinking the same thing as Shinobu I did.

* * * * * *

< would affect the policy.

And the results were soon achieved.

<.

He was positioned in such a way that the contents of the documents could be read.

When the king returned from the basement, he was about to give an order to build a <>.

(I see... both to store water and to prepare for flooding.)

(I see that he was trying to order the construction of a pond to hold water and to prepare for floods.

However, it is not always the case that those who receive his instructions are competent, and it will be a little later that we will find out that the construction period was extended due to wasteful work and reckless planning .......

* * * *

Jin in Horai Island was thinking about how to use the < he had just purchased.

"We should use the bamboo pipes not for water pipes but for water supply pipes.

The four duchies do not have <>.

According to Jin's research, since water is precious, each household collects wastewater from daily life in containers and spreads the supernatant in the fields. The settled garbage and sludge are incinerated.

Of course, not all households do this.

In some cases, wastewater is purified with magic tools, while lightly polluted water is allowed to percolate underground.

"It seems that the purification of waste water can also be done by activating the magi stones in the soil, if the < is given instructions to do so.

< had thought that far and prepared the soil.

Jin then set a new construction goal.

"If it rains, we can increase the amount of water pumped from the underground water vein. We can build a simple water supply system.

<, the quality of the water is guaranteed since they will use the magic tools designed and made by Jin.

"I think we should build a simple water supply facility for every ......100 household in each village.

He decided to use a bamboo pipe for piping to each household.

He also picks up other necessary items such as pumps, water tanks, and a water purification tool .......

"First, we should build a model district. ......"

Right now, Jin is in charge of the Principality of Norway.

The area near Lake Yato and Lake Kotsi, which are huge freshwater lakes, is reasonably well supplied with water.

I thought, "Would the area around Hamsus, near the capital, be good?"

I found a village of about 90 households in the vicinity. The name of the village is .

"Okay, let's choose this one."

Jin set out to make the model district.
