"That's because Mr. Alphonse was running at an abnormally high speed, that he was. From my point of view, it seems fast enough, that it is. After all, he is running this fast against the current of the river, that he is.

"I thought Galius wanted to build a more unusual boat. People told me to make it a safe shape for practical use, though."

You are right, that you are right. There are many boats with a shape that I find more interesting, that there are, but it may be difficult for them to be accepted.

"But, as I recall, there were originally such ships in the Orient, weren't there? I've been on one once, as I recall. It's a magic boat that goes regardless of the current."

"Hmm. It was specially made, that there is only one ship, that it is. It was made in a labyrinth, that it can't be mass-produced, that it can't. On the other hand, this power ship can be produced in larger numbers, that it should be easy to build and maintain.

 The power ship that Galius built and put into practical use based on the information from the prototype power ship that he kept capsizing over and over again.

 It turned out to be a fairly safe thing.

 It was neither very large nor very fast.

 The only thing that made it unique was that it was powered and could go against the current of the river.

 The craftsmen wanted to make a more eccentric boat, but Christina and others who wanted to use the boat for business and other purposes asked them to make a realistic and easy-to-use boat.

 This is largely due to the fact that it was a group of small states that developed these power boats.

 This area, also known as the Kuzuryu Plain, has many rivers, and these rivers flood frequently.

 Some of them are large, some are not.

 The reason for this is that it was difficult to use too large boats to reach other rivers through tributaries from the Gur River, which is located close to the city states of the Orient.

 Therefore, the size of the boat was decided to be a safe size in order to be able to operate on the larger rivers in various regions.

 This is the reason why this power boat is so valuable.

 I have capsized many boats, and the most important thing I did was to recover the power-machine type magical equipment from the sinking boat at all costs.

 Even if all the boats sink to the bottom of the river and drift away somewhere, we must never lose the power unit.

 This is because you cannot get it anywhere else.

 But it would be too hard to use it in daily life.

 It is too much work to dive into the water to find and pick up the desired object in a place where there is a current.

 Then, it was decided that we should make it so that the boat does not sink from the beginning.

 Therefore, we decided not to try to build a high-speed ship.

 Instead, we tried to build a ship that could move to some extent even if it was loaded with cargo.

 Incidentally, the iron ship that I proposed was completed in a rather delicate state.

 This was because the basic structure of the ship was to be made of wood.

 Instead, a thin steel plate was used to cover the hull.

 The ship is made of iron only in appearance, but inside it is made of wood.

 I thought this was not so interesting, but the people around me thought that there was no need to make it of steel.

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


 They even asked me what I was planning to use it for.

 The reason is that if a power ship is to be used for combat, its basic role is to transport people and goods.

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


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


 The ship itself cannot be used for battle, because power-machine type magic tools are too valuable.

 However, if the ship is attacked, the most likely way of attack would be with bows and arrows.

 In that case, I was told that there would be no rational reason to build a ship entirely of iron, since covering it with iron would prevent most of the bow attacks.

 If the situation arises in the future that cannot be dealt with by this iron covered ship, we may consider a ship made entirely of iron.

 So, we have settled on a powered steel-plated ship for now.

 Incidentally, we were able to prevent rust by using a magic circle, so this steel-plank ship is equipped with such a magic circle.

 Well, the boat building itself can be done on the ground, and if we just build the same boat, there will be no problem even in the current state.

Yes, that's right. But I think I have heard before that the situation of ships on the sea is a little different from that on the river, that it is so. If that is the case, we can have fun thinking of new power boats.
