"This is a prototype, so it is small, but if we make a bigger one, the production volume will go up.
The prototype is a 60-centimeter square cube, large enough to fit on a workbench.
The upper surface was mostly ore, with an outlet for the refined metal at the bottom of the front side, and an outlet for the non-metallic components on the opposite side.

The queen nodded.

"Yes, it is possible. I am thinking of making one for mithril silver and adamantite.
"Hmm, magic materials. It might be a good idea.

It would be better to sell them exclusively in the country in the beginning.
"Yes, that's right. Then we can lower the price little by little.
Yes, we also need to give priority to the public development sector to get cheaper materials.

The heavyweights immediately begin discussing the issue.
