 Looking at the scanned images of the underground structure of the principality, the members of the <> were exchanging opinions.

"Is this bedrock around 200 to 300 meters below the surface the original surface?"

 Jin says, and Saki agrees.

"Yes, I think so. I think about 20 meters above that is the original soil.

"So the piled up the soil on top of that?"

 Jin looked at the screen.

"Did <> want this place to be a granary?"

 Hannah tilted her head and said.

"I guess so, considering the climate."

 Reinhardt gives his opinion.

"It is reasonable to think that they were planning to do something about the amount of precipitation.

 Erza also offered her own opinion.

"I think that <> could have done something like that, even just to make it rain locally."

"I guess so. ......"

 Jin thought that since they have clean energy called <>, they could at least create clouds by blowing moist winds from the ocean and cooling them in the sky above them.

"But, I guess that's a setback in the middle of such a plan, isn't it?"

 Reinhard sighed.

"And the people living today are the ones who suffer from that.

 It's not funny," Jin said with a wry smile.

"So, ......, as you guessed, this line is a subterranean water vein, right?"

 Once again, Jin pointed at the screen as if to confirm.

"Yes, I guess so. It used to be a river a long time ago."

 Saki answered. The part of the river that was supposed to have been a river started from the Yato Lake and continued downhill all the way to the sea.

"And there is a permeable layer here, so if we dig a well, we can get water out," Saki said confidently.

 Saki said confidently.

"Now we just need to know how much water we can pump up.

 Reinhardt seemed concerned about subsidence.

"I'll let the < scan that a bit more. ......<>, please."

 The , who must have heard Jin and the others' conversation, immediately starts scanning the site with his subterranean scanner.

 Thirty seconds later.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

 The famous Kurobe Dam releases 10 to 15 tons of water per second for sightseeing.

 Jin thought that the flow rate of twice that would be quite large.

"Then, I guess we can pump up about 20% of that amount."

 Reinhard said relieved.

 After all, Jin thought that someone who had experience in managing a territory would be concerned about such minor problems.

"Well, let's remember that the water from this system is limited to six tons per second.

 It is unlikely that such a large amount of water would be used up just for drinking and domestic use.

"But if we start using it for agriculture, we'll run out."

 Jin said, "I hope you can use the magic tool to turn seawater into fresh water.

"Then, we should also build a reservoir for irrigation.

 Reinhardt's typical opinion came up.

"But that's difficult. We can only use the magic tool to turn seawater into fresh water in areas near the sea, but such areas are not suffering from water shortages."

"Hannah is right. There are many ways to do it, but we can't overdo it.

 Now that she and her colleagues had experienced that if they lent a helping hand too much, for whatever reason, the loss of that would set back civilization in a heartbeat, it was important to draw a line in the sand as to how far they would go in helping out.

"Shouldn't we think about that again?"

 Rodrigo opened his mouth.

"Right now, our goal is to check out the underground structure below us."

"...... I guess so."

 Maybe it's the fate of crafty idiots to get off topic. .......

"So, the vein is under this bedrock after all. ......"

"It seems so."

 The examination is resumed.

"The bedrock seems to be quite thick.

"It seems to be thin in some places.

It would be good to identify those areas.

"Yes, that's right."

 After these comments, we decided to make a map of the area.

"But I don't want to show it as it is.




 Jin said.

"However, if I was asked to go to different countries to survey water veins, I might look at a map to make things easier for myself."

"Hmm, it would be good if you have that kind of a front, wouldn't it?"

 Reinhardt laughed and nodded at Jin's comment.

"And then there's this place, right?"

 Jin pointed to a place near the foot of a mountain in the eastern part of the Mimaka Kingdom.

"Kuhu, for some reason there are several untouched mineral deposits.

 Saki also looks at the scan results with a curious expression on her face.

"Perhaps they were so focused on agriculture that they never got around to developing the mines.

 Jin speculates.

"Yes, the Principality of Mimaka has a short coastline and the smallest arable land of the four. I don't think it would be a good place to live.

 Reinhard also guessed at the internal situation in the Principality of Mimaka, and guessed the reason for the delay in mining development.

"But there are deposits of magi stone here, and manganese ...... here? And tin."

 Hannah said as she looked at the deposits.

"Tin and manganese can be exported to earn foreign currency.

 Tin was in high demand for use in tableware and manganese as an additive element in the production of steel alloys.

 Jin thought that it would be possible to mine at the foot of the mountain with the current technology of the principality.

"Let's keep a record of such potential mines," he said.

"I'm sure I can help you in many ways, my dear. ......The most difficult thing is the water problem, isn't it?"

 Hannah seems to be thinking about it, but there is no definitive solution to the water shortage.

 No, there are several ways to solve the problem, but all of them are forceful and aggressive.

 Water can be transported by spaceships and sprayed from the sky, or water can be pumped inland by super-powerful pumps, etc. .......

"But it would be nice to have a water supply," Hannah said.

 Hannah said.

"It will take time, but it will definitely make progress."

"I guess so. ......"

 It seemed that the water situation would be much improved if they could build a water network, although there was still the question of where to locate the source of the water.

"Well, let's think along those lines."

 Jin suggested,

"Yes, that would be a good idea.

"Yes, I agree.

"Let's think about it."

"Yes, that sounds interesting."



 Everyone agreed.
