The one who raised his hand was Mr. Latant, Director General of the First Ministry of Technology of the Kingdom of Celuloa.
"I think the purpose of the mana stand is to sell mana, but how do you decide the price?
The technical problem would be how to know the amount of mana supplied.

Those in the audience with technical knowledge nodded their heads.
But that has been considered.
"Well, I think it would be a good idea to use manacelles for such general-use magic tools.

"Manacelles?"
"Yes, something like this."
Jin took out a manacell, which was placed in the handle of the pressure cooker, and showed it to me. It was a cylinder about one centimeter in diameter and one centimeter high.

This is the mana cell. When it becomes empty, you fill it with mana using a mana stand.
"I see. Then, all future magic tools that require mana can be shared by using a mana tank of the same size.
Minister of Magic and Technology Degauze of the Shoro Kingdom nodded broadly.

"That is correct. If the consumption of mana is large, we can use many of them.
Jin's image was that of a dry cell battery. Since there were devices that used one, two, four, etc., he thought it would be a good idea to do the same.
"I'm thinking that we should set a separate standard for things like the ...... golem that cannot be covered by those batteries."

In other words, that was the agenda for this afternoon.
"Then we could set a price, like how much for one filling, right?"
The Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Franz, Adalbert Adalbert, asked for confirmation.

Yes. My own draft proposal is that such
I can imagine it as a monopoly.
However, it is assumed that they will be privatized in the future.

So it's price competition after liberalization.
I see, this is an interesting theme.
Prime Minister Adák nodded.

The Mana Server is a stand for the supply of mana at a fixed price per mana cell.

In this way, ordinary people can use magic tools more than ever before.
This will increase the demand for magic tools and improve the standard of living.

It's an attractive policy if it works."
Prince Arthur of the Klein Kingdom is enthusiastic.
"I guess the government will manage it in the beginning for safety reasons," he said.

However, the mana server that will actually be installed will not be large enough to be moved by human power.
"Some of the workers will be recruited from the private sector to create jobs, right?"

Prince Arthur is very perceptive.
"I suppose that you are thinking of various kinds of magical tools other than this pressure cooker, aren't you, Jin-dono?

This question came from Prime Minister Boyd of the Kingdom of Egelea.
Yes, of course. The first thing I would like to spread is a magical tool for public health.
Public health?

Public health? Yes. I would say that it is an initiative to protect the health of the entire community.
What Jin was thinking of was the treatment of water and sewage.

In the Ars world, with a few exceptions, drinking water is supplied by wells. Sewage is by underground seepage.
Since the population density is low in Ars, there have been no major problems so far, but there is no doubt that the system will fail sooner or later.
Jin was also concerned about the recent record of Shuki Tsetsi, in which a village was wiped out by an epidemic that looked like dysentery.

Sewage that seeps into the ground mixes with groundwater and contaminates it if it exceeds the purification function of nature.
It could become a breeding ground for disease and a route of infection.

Jin then begins,
"Oh! That's wonderful!"

"That's right. It would be sufficient to have them replaced when their deodorizing ability runs out.
By setting this up, we can make sure that the deodorizing ability will stop the fastest when the mana is depleted.

Degauze, Minister of Magic and Technology of the Shoro Empire, leaned forward.
"Now all we need is clean water. First of all, I suggest that we use magic tools that have

Yes, it is. It's called a faucet, but the water outlets have that effect."
"Mm-hmm. ......"
The heads of state pondered. Then the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Franz, Adalbert Adalbert, asked a question.

"Even if poison were poured into the well, would you be able to purify it?
"Yes, I can."
Jin answered immediately.

"Of course, if the magic tools are working properly. As long as you replace the mana cell before the mana runs out, you should be fine.
"Of course."
Hearing this answer, the participants thought about it further. In the midst of all this,

"I think the ...... problem is the cost of installation.
Marquis Florenziano of the Kingdom of Elias spoke up.
"I understand that it would be beneficial. I understand that it is beneficial, but it cannot be free. The question is how to cover the cost of the purchase.

If the cost differs from country to country, it will be a source of discontent, he said.
"But I am sure it will be beneficial. It would be good if we could spread this to the royal castle, the nobility, the wealthy, and the general public, in that order," he said.
said Prime Minister Adalbert of the Kingdom of Franz.

What is Jin's opinion on this?
"I suppose that is inevitable. But this will reduce the number of diseases. And illnesses are not limited to people of all ranks.
To this the Shoro empress responded.

"Yes, that's right. I have heard of cases where disease broke out among the people and spread throughout the country.
Jin did not know this, but it had happened in the past. So,
"So, it would be good if we could do it in as short a period of time as possible, but not at the same time.

Jin followed up.
"As an example, we could raise the tax temporarily, use the tax to make magic tools and popularize them, and then return the tax to the original amount after they are popularized.
"I think it would be difficult for our country. ......"

Yes, my country, too.

An opinion is expressed in response to this.
