"Yes, Your Majesty. I've brought the prototype of the monorail I promised you. It's impossible to make the whole thing, so I'll make it into parts and bring it to you in several batches.
"Oh, I see. Let's set up a place to store the materials.
Thank you very much.

Since the audience with the King, the client, was easily granted, Jin decided to take this opportunity to propose the installation of a test track.
Jin was shown into his office in the royal castle and handed over the plans he had brought with him.
"I see. ......"

Cesar skimmed through it and made a difficult face.
"It is necessary to build an orbit for testing. I can understand the appeal to the public in that case. The problem is the cost.
The Kingdom of Cerroa is said to be the largest country in the Lesser Antilles. Its national budget is said to be 10 or 15 times that of the Kingdom of Klein.

However, this is the result of placing a heavy burden on the people, and it is not something that can be continued for a long time.
In addition, the state budget did not have much room to spare due to the compensation for the scandals caused by the previous king and the measures taken against the famine in the spring.
Knowing this situation, the old man had a plan to cope with the situation.

The old man said, "We will bear the cost of the project. In return, we would like to have a temporary right to mine the ahi mine.
"Ahi mine? I think it was an old mine that was almost abandoned. ......
The Ahi Mine is located in the western part of the Kingdom of Selroa and has a long history.

However, the main veins of ore have been mined out and the mine is as good as abandoned.
No, there are probably deeper veins of ore.
Jin confidently asserts.

This is true, as Deneb 23, a.k.a. Rearis, the fifth column (Quinta), has conducted a preliminary survey and reported back to us.
In fact, there is a large vein of bauxite in the vicinity.

Unfortunately, bauxite, the raw material of aluminum, can hardly be extracted from Penglai Island.
It seems that Moon
Of course, after securing the necessary amount, he plans to notify the Kingdom of Celuloa and ask them to make use of it.

"Hmm, <
Cesar immediately prepares the documents.

"It went well, old man."
Jin returned to Horai Island and told the old man that everything had gone according to his plan.

It was only natural that the old man, who had a longer life span than human beings, should have a very long term view.
"Yes. It is not only pure aluminum or duralumin, but also alumina has a wide range of applications."
Alumina is the common name for aluminum oxide, which has applications as a heat-resistant material.

Rubies and sapphires were also made mainly of alumina.
In general, refining aluminum requires electricity, but in this world where engineering magic is available, it can be easily refined. Of course, it is a prerequisite to have the appropriate knowledge.

"Yes, that's right. Well, anyway, permission to use the ahi mine will be granted only after the monorail itself is completed.

Jin spent the next day and the day after that, three days in total, to finish transporting the materials.

Finally, it was time to assemble the main body of the car.
First, he started with the track that would serve as the base.
The entire process is carried out in the presence of magecraftsmen from the Kingdom of Celuloa.

They are the ones who will actually install the orbit after this.
Reiko, please.

Yes, Father.
Jin started to assemble the orbit with Reiko as his assistant.
"......oh ......!

The MagiCraftsmen watching the scene let out a cry of surprise.
It was no wonder, for the little girl Reiko lifted the steel frame members, which weighed several tons, with ease.
"All right, put it up here somewhere."

With Reiko as his assistant, Jin works quickly.
The track that will serve as a pedestal is quickly completed by joining the steel frames by <

The track is a monorail track about 15 meters long and 1 meter high.
It looks like a big platform.
"Okay, that's about right."

Jin then began to assemble the main body of the car.
The magecraftsmen watching him are pale.

"Yes, father."
Jin started work at 8:00 a.m.

And before noon, the monorail for the demonstration was completed.
"Wow, Jin-dono, this is amazing!

King Cesar was in a good mood when he came to see how it was going.
"I see, I've seen the model, but the real thing is really something to behold.
Each car is about 7 meters long, so the total length of the two cars is 14 meters, and they fit on a 1.5 meter base. Each car is about 7 meters long, so the total length of the two cars is 14 meters, and they fit on a 1.5 meter base.

Please take a look inside.
Oh, yes, of course.
King Cesar, accompanied by his personal guard Kirk Apted and the First Ministry of Technology Director General Latant, followed Jin into the car.

"Hohoho ......!"
This time the seating arrangement was like an express train. In other words, there are two seats facing the direction of travel on either side of the train, with an aisle in the middle.
"The seats are very comfortable.

Jin explained that the seats are filled with cushioning material so that passengers do not get tired even after sitting for a long time.
"Oh, well..."
"The windows can't be opened all the way for safety reasons."

The windows cannot be opened wide enough for a body to pass through.
"There are magic lamps installed in the ceiling, so it should not be dark inside the car.
"Hmm, that's very thoughtful of you."

Now, the driver's seat.
Jin explains that the driver's seat is separated by a sturdy wall so that passengers cannot interfere with the driver.

"We'll have a separate caretaker for the passengers."
Since the word "conductor" would not be understood by the passengers, Jin replaced it with "caretaker.
"Now, how to drive ......."

The basics are starting and stopping. The lever can be used to operate them, he explained.
"Oh, I can't wait to see it run!"
King Cesar muttered in a deep voice.
