Adriana transforms the fork she is about to make into its final form.
"Wow! That's amazing!
"Ad, you really did it!"

"Well, magical engineering is a marvelous thing."
Krull, Marle, and Phaetos all exclaimed in admiration.

The final step is to give the surface a mirror finish.
"This is the standard fork in King's Landing and other places now.
"It looks like silver. It's hard to believe it was originally made of iron.

Marle gently picked it up and muttered.
"Hmmm. But the glow is somewhat duller or darker ......."
Phytos' eyes are right. No matter how mirror-finished the surface of stainless steel is, it cannot match the reflectivity of silver, so it looks blackish in comparison.

However, stainless steel tableware has an advantage in this respect because silver darkens (sulfurizes) quickly if it is not cared for.
Also, since it is harder than silver, it is less likely to be scratched, which is an advantage that makes it a good choice for popular tableware.

When I explained this to him, Phytos nodded his head in agreement.
"I see. But the drawback is that it is made of a rare metal and is difficult to process.
In fact, because of this disadvantage, stainless steel and carbon steel are used interchangeably even on modern Earth (there are other factors as well, of course).

"I guess it's a material for magical engineering for the time being. ......"
Adriana pondered over Phytos' opinion. It is not common to add chromium or nickel to make stainless steel in the first place.
"I think so. "I agree, but I am interested in it as a material.

Fightos added as if to comfort Adriana, whose shoulders slumped a little.
Thank you, master.

Adriana then decided to go to the sea to see how the magical tools she had entrusted to F-002 earlier that morning were working.
"Krull, Marle, I'm going to the sea."
"Oh, I'll go with you."

"I'll wait for you at home."
Marle went home and Krull followed her.
Adriana and Krull went to the beach together.

"Hey Ad, what's in the sea?
"You'll see when we get there."
"Boo!"

They walk down the beach, talking like this.
"Hey, hey, you're going the wrong way!"
Krull stopped Adriana, who was going in a different direction from where she had gone yesterday to look for the stone.

"Oh, it's okay. We're not going to look for stones today.
"Oh, I see."
Krull seemed to be enjoying herself as she replied, "Oh, it's okay.

And then they arrived at the beach.
The boat that Adriana came in is also there.
"Wow! A big boat! Is that the boat that Adri came in?" "Yes, that's the boat Adriana came in.

"Yes, that's it."
Sure enough, Krull started to get excited.
"Hey, you know, I'd like to go for a ride!"

"Okay, but just wait a minute. But just wait a minute. I have to take care of something first.
Adriana quieted Krull down and called F-002 first.
"How is it?"

"Yes, it seems to be working fine."
F-002 pointed at the silver-gray mass near the magic tool.
"Yes, they are gathered. ......<

Adriana is pleased.
"Hey, Ad, what's this?"
At that moment, Krull interrupts, apparently unable to remain silent.

"Let's see, it is a magical tool to extract a specific substance from seawater.

Almost all elements are dissolved in seawater.
Gold, silver, platinum, lithium, aluminum, magnesium, uranium .......
And of course, Adriana wanted chromium and nickel.

However, since the amount is extremely small, it is not worth the trouble to extract it, and the only thing that has been put to practical use on the modern earth and is still being done is the extraction of <

However, there is magic in this world, and by using it, we have managed to extract substances at a practical level.
Of course, this was a technology unique to Adriana.
The technology that enabled her successor, Jin, to separate and collect only helium from the air was also based on this technology.

"Yes, we've collected quite a bit of helium.
In half a day's operation, twice as much helium had been collected as yesterday.

"If we keep going like this, we should be able to collect quite a lot. We might as well make one or two more of the same thing.
So Adriana made two more of the same magical tool ...... named <
Of course, they are not in the same place, but far enough apart that the ocean currents and the ebb and flow of the tide circulate the seawater.

"No, it was fun!"

First, let me show you around the ship. Before ......, let me introduce the golems that make up the crew.

This is F-003, this is M-002, and that is M-003. And that's F-002 outside.
"Wow. Ad made all these?
"Yes."

He pulls Krull, who is excited to see them, along with him and shows him around the ship.
It's a big boat, but it's only 10 meters long. Once inside, it feels smaller than a house.
This is the cabin. This is where we stay when the boat is running.

"This is the power room. When M-002 and M-003 turn the handle, the screw turns too, and the ship moves forward.
"This is the bedroom. Most of the time we sleep with the ship ashore, but just to be safe, we have a suspended system to reduce the effects of the rocking.

Krull listens to Adriana's explanation with a twinkle in his eye, though he is not sure how much of it he understood. And then.
"I wish I could go out to sea too. ......"

She muttered to herself.
Why don't you ask your father?"
There were many boats floating on the Green Coast, which we visited yesterday. Adriana thought that if she asked her father, the chief of the village, she could at least go out to sea.

"That's not possible."
"Why not?"
But Krull shook his head sadly.

"It's the village law ...... that if a woman goes out to sea, the sea gets rough."
"Oh, no. ......."
Adriana said that she too was a woman and that her previous voyages had been calm.

I don't know if it's an indigenous belief or a superstition.

Adriana realized something else that she had not noticed when she was with Shuki.
