"Is it ...... about this planet?"

Reiko repeated what Jin had said, parroting back. I guess she didn't quite grasp the meaning of what he was saying.

"Yes. I have a few things on my mind.

When I had said that much, Elsa came over. It's time for lunch.

"Brother Jin, dinner!"

So Jin, Erza, and Saki went to the diner.

They had tempura soba noodles. The soba noodles were served with soba-tsuyu (buckwheat sauce with bonito broth) and nihachi-soba, which is buckwheat flour (8 parts) to wheat flour (2 parts medium flour).

It is topped with prawns (similar to tiger prawns) and pumpkin (a vegetable similar to pumpkin) tempura.

The soba-tsuyu (buckwheat noodle soup) was made by Perid Reader. Perid Reader also made the soba noodles.

Erza fried the tempura. However, it was quite difficult to do so.

"Yes, the tempura is fried well.

The batter of tempura should not contain too much egg and flour.

In the beginning, Elsa stirred the batter incessantly and sometimes made mistakes, but recently she has improved and is trying various dishes.

"......Good."

"Elsa is a good cook now. You can be a bride anytime you want."

Even Saki jokingly praised her.

"......Saki, if you don't learn to cook at least, you won't have anyone to marry you."

Erza is a little bitter today.

"I'm not going to get married, you know. It's easier to be single."

Saki is taking it all in stride. However, neither Jin nor Erza noticed that her profile looked a little sad.

So what were they talking about?

Erza asked as she sipped her after-dinner buckwheat tea.

Not wanting to leave Erza out of the conversation, Jin started by telling her about the world map he had created, followed by the physical properties table Saki had made and then the story of this planet.

"I've been thinking a lot about ......, and I think we should launch a surveillance satellite."

"A surveillance satellite?"

"A surveillance satellite?" "Yeah. A satellite that observes various things on the earth's surface and sends us information. For example, if we have images of clouds, we can forecast the weather.

Jin explained the purpose of the satellite.

"But I heard that the launch failed before. ......"

Erza pointed out and Jin scratched his head.

"Yeah. At that time, we were so excited about being able to use gravity magic that we suddenly tried to launch a geostationary satellite.

"So, is it different this time?"

Jin nodded broadly at the question.

"Of course. The altitude will be between 1,000 and 2,000 kilometers, orbiting the equator. If we launch at least four satellites, we should be able to cover the mid-latitudes, if not the poles.

He says that it would be enough to cover the human sphere of existence.

"I think it will succeed this time because it will be equipped with gyrostabilizers and use a force field generator."

"......, indeed."

Although Jin is no expert, Erza's knowledge of space engineering is far less than Jin's. In this respect, we have no choice but to trust her. In this respect, we can only trust her.

And then...

Is there more?

Erza is surprised when Jin tells her about his next plan.

"Yeah. "Yes. I'd rather do this first."

After saying this, Jin began to talk.

"Now that we have a map of the world, I'd like to set up a transition marker. I don't know how many years or how many decades it will be after ......, but I hope it will be available to all human beings.

"Kuhu, that sounds like Jin. I think that would be a good idea too.

Saki agreed with a smile.

"I'm thinking of picking a place like a high mountain, a big lake, or the tip of a continent, and embedding a special marker there.

"Special?"

Erza's question is quite understandable.

"Well, if we bury ordinary magic crystals (magi crystals), they might dig them up. I want to make the waveform as weak and unusual as possible.

"You can do that?"

Saki said with a surprised look on her face.

"What are you talking about? It was Saki who first suggested the relationship between magical properties and frequency.

It was early September last year.

"Yes, I did. I am ashamed. ...... So you are trying to use magic waves of such a frequency that is too high or too low for ordinary humans to detect?"

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

"Good answer."

Unlike radio waves, magic waves are not reflected by the ionosphere. It is also known that they do not affect rocks, mountains, and underwater because they penetrate ordinary materials.

"So, I'm thinking of making a marker using magi crystals of the earth attribute."

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

"Indeed, it would not be surprising if there were magickal waves of the earth attribute coming out of the ground."

That's what I mean.

Furthermore, the frequency will be made even lower than the naturally existing earth-attributed magic waves, making them undetectable to ordinary humans, thereby reducing the risk of being detected.

Jin has thought of a lot of things, hasn't he?

I'm just trying to keep the peace.

So, first we set up the markers?

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

Elsa asked to make sure. Jin nodded.

"Yes. I'm going to instruct the land team to do it."

Thus, the first step was to set up markers on the ground.

In the Kingdom of Klein, there was a discussion among the participants about the means of transportation to participate in the national commemoration ceremony to be held in the Kingdom of Selroa.

"I guess we should take a horse-drawn carriage, as a matter of course.

"No, that would be like saying that our country has no magical technology.

So we're going by hot-air balloon?

"We now have six hot air balloons. It would not be a bad idea to use four of them.

The distance from Alban, the capital of the Kingdom of Klein, to Dali in the Kingdom of Selroa is 320 kilometers. It is about 230 kilometers from towns in the Kingdom of Klein near the border.

A hot air balloon traveling at 30 kilometers per hour would be able to reach Dali in the evening if it left early in the morning.

But we must not forget that there are risks involved.

It took him two days to come to this conclusion.

And again there was discussion, discussion, discussion.

In the end, the escort is Rodeste Formes, the commander of the 2nd Kingsguard, and five carefully selected subordinates.

Then there is Boulton Allstadt, who possesses a microscopic magic eye. He was chosen because his magic eye might be useful in some cases.

"Gloria Allstadt and her second-in-command, Cynthia Kirkman, are in the Kingdom of Egelea, and they are on their way.

"Yes, that's good. Then I will add Jessica Norton to the list.

Finally, the participants were decided. But it did not end there.

Now that we have been invited to the national celebration, we need to bring a gift to celebrate. Mainly to keep up appearances of the country.
