"It is done, that it is, Mister Alphonse. The first prototype power ship, that it is."

"Oh. Already? You're early, Galius.

　Galius, a craftsman at the Barca Ironworks.

　It has only been a few days since I handed him the power-mechanism-type magic tool I made using the spirit stone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And yet, he had already produced a prototype power ship.

　He showed it to me immediately.

"...... It's so small. It's more like a small boat.

"That's right, that it is. I told you. This is the first prototype. This is an existing boat with a power mechanism, that the rotor blades are attached to the bottom of the boat at the rear. With this, the boat can go against the current of the river, that it can."

"Hmm. Well, that's not so bad at first.

I'm surprised to see you like this. In this way, when you develop something new, you have to actually build it and use it under the real world, that you can understand. This is also a valuable first step, that it is.

"Is that how it is?　So, what have you learned from this?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"We have learned many things, that we have learned. How much force can actually be obtained by the number of teeth on the different gears to be attached to this power mechanism, and what shape of the rotor blades is best. Or, in addition to the turning angle at which the boat can turn at high speeds, what are the problems of using steel materials for the boat, etc.?

"From the way you talk, it sounds like there are quite a few issues that need to be resolved, isn't there?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Of course, that I do. There is much to be done, that there is. I am excited just thinking about what we are going to do, that I am.

"...... glad you're having fun. But then again, I guess I can't do any research unless I quickly build a new river in the area of this Barca steel plant and let the water flow through it. No wonder. I'll mobilize the magic stone and Lassen-dono to get the work going.

　Galius explained everything about the power boat to me with a very nice smile on his face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Apparently, this job is quite interesting.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He must really enjoy creating new things with his own hands.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Considering that he was working in the basement of a shabby house in a poor neighborhood when we first met, I can understand how he feels.

　To help Galius with his work, I think we should hurry up with the construction of this Barca steel mill and its surroundings.

　It is also a problem that there is no river nearby to do research on ship building.

　In order to move forward with the project, let's use Lassen, who is also known as a "hole digger," to shorten the construction period.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After all, I think that Lassen's power is very useful.

　Because of this, the work of magical creation may take longer to complete.

"By the way, are you making any other prototype boats?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Of course, that I do. The power mechanism is basically the same without any changes, as requested by Mr. Alphonse, that it should be. Then, we have no choice but to experiment with various shapes of boats, that we should. In addition to the ship I am going to build, I am also going to have existing ships used by other people transported and try to power them, that I am planning to study.

"So, can I take this first machine?　I'd like to try it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Will Mister Alphonse ride on it, that he will?　No problem, that it should be, but can it swim, that it should?　Give him the life preserver I have prepared for him in case of emergency, that I will. Oh, and be careful of the rotating wings linked to the power mechanism when you fall into the water, that you should. It is dangerous if you get caught in the sharp edges of the moving blades, that it is.

"Yes, sir. I'll be careful.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I really want you to be careful, that I do. As far as I have tried it, it was fine, but there is a good chance that it will overturn if you drive recklessly, that it may. If you don't hold me responsible for anything that happens, that you can give it to me right here and now.

"Of course. I won't complain if I get hurt or drown on this boat. If I don't die, I can heal. Then I'll borrow it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"All right, that I understand. Then I would be glad to hear your impressions afterwards, that I would."

　With Garius' permission, I decided to take the first prototype power ship home with me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At first I was somewhat dissatisfied with the small size of the boat, but it seemed that the small size made it easier to transport.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The boat was small enough to carry a few people for a river cruise, and it could fit on a cart, so we carried it to the Gulu River.

"Well, I should pour magic power into this part of the boat, right? I can adjust the direction of travel with this rudder. That's pretty easy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I boarded the powerboat floating on the Gulu River and operated it, remembering how to operate it from what Galius had told me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As I poured in the magic power, the power seemed to start moving, and the rotating wings on the back of the boat began to spin.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The power boat starts to move forward on the surface of the Gulu River, which is now calm and showing no signs of flooding.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I shouted, "Oh, wow!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was quite enjoyable.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was unexpected that a boat moving on slow moving water could be so interesting.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And as I continued to channel the magic power, the speed of the boat increased and increased and increased.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it seemed that I had increased the speed too much.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The power of the feathers, which continued to increase their rotational force, caused the hull to rattle and shake, and finally the bow of the boat lifted off the water, capsizing the power boat I was on.
