04-05 A gearbox, a magic turbine, and…
The next morning, after Jin woke up and had his breakfast, he began making a gear.
First he prepared a straightened adamantium strip, then he made the teeth of the gear. He didn’t worry about the module (the size of the teeth). This is how Jin normally works. (TLFalin: It actually says module and has the part in the parentheses, it seems the author researched this to give a more authentic explanation, so there may be more as the chapter progresses)
Because Jin plans to use it for a car, it needs to be strong, but since he’s using Adamantium, it’ll be work well at a small size. Although it’s simple to make it big by itself, Jin decided to start from something small.
If lined up face to face, it becomes immediately apparent that the spacing of the teeth is the same and they’re all identical.
「Well, if I can make do with one band, and
「After that, yeah… make a gear with the number of teeth that I need to fit this. Yes, it’s a success! Now,
「Now, to fill the inside circle of the gear,
When Jin made another gear with a different number of teeth and tried to engage the two, they engaged so neatly that Jin began to feel like dancing. If a spur gear is made, Jin can make a bevel gear somehow as well. However, it will be limited to the same number of teeth.
「Yosh, let’s make a car!」
「Un, un, it’s nice.」
After driving around in the flat area in front of his research center, Jin got off satisfied.
「Huh?」
The airplane had a
How much time until it’s a cars turn in this world?
Was said,
「Yes. Should I give priority to Tatsumi Bay, the fields, and the airport?」(TL: Was it called Tatsumi Bay in a previous translation? I’ll have to come back to this.)
Because I made the airport for the airplane, the maintenance of the road was urgent business. A large Warp Gate is installed at each place as well, but a road is still necessary. 「Aaah, I’m hungry.」
「Father, I made dinner today.」
Because Soleil and Luna were busy mass-producing the airplanes and ships, Reiko took charge of cooking for Jin.
「Yes.」
「Mmm, tasty.」
「I’m sorry, the rice hasn’t been found yet.」
Since they couldn’t find rice in the port town, Port Rock, Jin thought they might find it in a western country where the things might be different and unusual. 7 days since he returned to Hourai Island…
The first day Jin began with the lines. The principle was simple, to put an impeller in a sealed container and turn it with wind magic.
「Oh, the number of revolutions is high as expected.」
「Oh well, it’ll be useful for something.」 Reiko savors the significance of being near someone like Jin.
「Father, what happened to the talk of creating a weapon?」
「Oh, did I say something like that? It will be necessary for the defense force.」
「
The reason being that it’s easy to make non-lethal if he changes the strength. Although the defense method is limited, it’s easy to aim and hard to make. (TL: pretty sure he’s talking about for others, so if one gets lost, they can’t just reproduce it). 「Ok, I should be able to make it like this.」
「Ok, now for authentication.」
Reiko asked about the unfamiliar words.
Without Jin’s magical power waveform it won’t operate. It was name magic waveform authentication
「And that’s done.」
「Do you want to try it?」
Thin rays the size of a needle pierce the rock in a few seconds.
Jin changes some of the settings while saying so and prepares to fire once again. The range is short, which slightly diffused the rays, but the rock was vaporized immediately this time.
Jin said and decided to consider another low power weapon.
When Jin first met Beana in the Blue Land, she had a “Paralysis Cane”. This allowed him to understand that such a magic tool already exists. (TL:Was it called a Paralysis Cane before? Oh well, I’m going with that for now.)
Jin was enthusiastic but…
Reiko told Jin and he obediently left the research center and went towards the house. 「Did Soleil make today’s lunch?」
「Gouchisousama.」 (TL: Although I figure most of you know this already, it’s a formal way of saying thanks for the food after they’re done eating, no real translation for it though. I could just put “thanks for the food” or “I’m done” but I think I’ll leave it at that.)
「As usual, father quickly leaves our sight, doesn’t he?」(TL: I need help with this one, I think I got the gist of it, but it’s still confusing. 相変わらずお父さまは作る事になると周りが見えなくなりますね) The stun gun was easy to complete, because he had looked at the “Paralysis Cane” before. He resolved some of the faults and improved the efficiency.
The wand was made of light silver and the baton was made of a mithril and adamantium composite.
Jin said so and made 20 golems and name them from 1-20, Land.
It was fun to make.
Reiko followed immediately after Jin to help him.
With this, Hourai Island’s armed forces were completed.
