On September 19, Jin received a report from My Lord on the resources of the Kutsudo Mine.

"That's good. And the contents?"

"Oh, that's good, especially the platinum group elements, which are not useful in the current world, so let's secure them here.
Platinum group elements are useless metals or ores because of their high melting points.

Platinum, iridium, osmium, palladium, rhodium, and ruthenium are platinum group elements, but even palladium, which has the lowest melting point, melts at 1555 degrees Celsius.
The highest, osmium, has a melting point of 2697 degrees Celsius.
Gold and silver have melting points of 1063 and 961 degrees Celsius, respectively.

However, this is not a problem for Jin because of his engineering magic.
These platinum group elements are often in the form of alloys, and at present in Ars, they cannot be separated into individual elements except in Horai Island, the Nordic Federation, and the laboratories of <

As for Jin, more than half of the project was to redevelop the Kutsudo Mine for the redevelopment of Toka Village, so it can be said that the goal has been achieved approximately.
Incidentally, the nearest village or town to the Kutudo Mine is not Toka but Dopa.
Doppa is the next town after the villages of Kayna, Toka, and Lac Noh. The next town is Charles.

Therefore, ores and ingots from the Kutsud mine are sent to Doppa.
"The goal is to improve the economic condition of the Klein Kingdom, and at the very least, to have a road built to Doppa, right?"

However, the road from the town of Doppa to the Kutsudo mine is a steep uphill, and wagons are not allowed to pass.
The ore and ingots are carried by horseback.

"From the town of Doppa to the village of Toka is a day and a half's journey by horseback, isn't it?"

The old man's opinion was that it was not enough to redevelop only the village of Toka to improve this road, and that the towns along the road would soon become desolate again, even if they became lively for a while.

Therefore, although it will take some time, we are trying to revitalize the towns and villages north of Charles <

One of the moves was the redevelopment of the Kutsud mine.
This would indirectly benefit the village of Toka.
Of course, the new airfield would be a direct benefit.

Viscount Gillette Fezza Lutria, head of the 3rd Technical Department of the Ministry of Magic and Technology, who had been entrusted with overseeing the construction, was talking to herself.
Next to him was his subordinate, Ritz Lakka, who was holding a timetable in his hand.
"But is granite enough?" he asked.

Granite would be brittle, he said.
"You worry too much. Of course I know that. That's why we're reinforcing it in key places with steel frames.
