 Rhodes and Kondak traveled to the clan territory by transfer and held a meeting.



"...... and that is why."

 After hearing the report, Belialus, the clan leader of , and his wife, Zion, listened to the explanation by Rhodes and Kondak without saying a word.

 Then, at first, Belialus opened his mouth.

"I see. I think we should take good care of those ruins."

"I think so too."

 Theon seemed to agree.

 In other words, Belialus and Theon agreed to recognize <> as a ruin.

 If it becomes an archaeological site, the administrator and his assistant golem will be stationed there.



"We'll have to report this to the World Congress as well, won't we?"

Yes, we will.

Then we'll go back and prepare the place that will be the base of operations.

Yes, you can do that. ...... Lo, good luck.

"Yes, sir."



 Rhodes and Condak returned to their temporary base, relieved that they had decided on a course of action.

 After this, Belialus and Zion had a meeting with the chiefs and elders of the clans, and it was unanimously decided to recognize as an archaeological site.

 Although the impact on the world would be small, it would be necessary to preserve it as a historical site.

 On March 22, a group of temporary custodians was formed and headed for the site.

 Meanwhile, those who remained at the <> were preparing the base.

 They decided that 90% of them would manage this place as an archaeological site.

 If so, it would be more convenient later on if a base site was prepared.

 Rhodes and Kondak returned and explained the response of Zion and the others, which motivated the group even more.



 The land was cleared, rocks were moved out of the way, and the frozen snow was removed. The tents were also re-staked.

 And on the 22nd, when the temporary managers arrived with their blow floaters, the messy temporary base was in order.

At the same time, <> was being used as a base of operations.



 At the same time, the <> had begun to investigate the veins of ...... molybdenum, vanadium, beryllium, tantalum, and antimony, based on new information from <>.

 Molybdenum can be added to iron to increase toughness (often at the same time as chromium or nickel rather than as a stand-alone alloy).

 Vanadium is an essential metal for making 64 light silver.

 Beryllium can be alloyed with copper to form hard and springy beryllium copper.

 Tantalum can make alloys with high melting point, strength and ductility.

 Antimony can be alloyed with lead to increase mechanical strength.

 Each of these metals has its own chemical uses, but since the chemistry of Ars is not yet mature compared to that of the modern Earth, most of them were used as metals.

"So this is the closest you can get?"

Yes. Vanadium deposits.

I guess so.

 On the 22nd, Atkins and his team had discovered a deposit of vanadium.

 The recent market price for vanadium is about 1500 Talls per kilo. (about 15,500 yen) per kilo.

 Iron, by the way, costs about 100 to 200 tol per kilo. The price of light silver is about 100 to 200 dollars per kilogram.

 The price of light silver has dropped to 20 tol (200 yen) per kilogram.

 A word of caution.

 Since the demand for vanadium is increasing, the <> will be economically well off if it can develop vanadium mines.

 So Atkins and his team started by surveying the vanadium deposits.



 This will have a positive impact on the increasing demand for 64 light silver at <> in just a few more years.

 < or <> (named by Goh yesterday) has been completed.

 For what it's worth, this is the result of Jin's participation and coordination.

 ...... and Kachea blurted out .......



 Anyway, at 7:30 in the morning of the 21st, <> left a large amount of materials in its aircraft <> at the <> on the west side of <>.

 The transports that carried the materials were constantly moving around.



"Jin-san, are you sure you can use all of this?"

 said Mr. Katya as he wrote down the materials, including the light silver, that had been brought in in the control ledger.

"Of course . I'm including the cost of the commission.

With this much money, we'll have enough for 10 prototypes, right?

You can use the extra money for other research.

"...... will be very grateful for the use."

 When Ka'cea mentioned that < was more in need of materials than cash, Hitoshi quickly decided on this method.

 He donated a large amount of materials to under the guise of having deus ex machina transport the materials to .

 In this case, some of the materials were donated by Machina.

"Now we can use all the materials we want!

 Eira is exhilarated.



"Eira-san, don't waste money, okay?

"I know!



I wish I could join you.

Arnold, you want to join us too?

Yes, the original technology was developed in the former Dinaric Kingdom, and I'm interested in it.

 Arnold's participation in this meeting triggers a major movement within the <>.

 < and the , and there was no opposition to the idea.

 It was thought that there would be a dispute over who would be the head of the two laboratories, but that was not the case.

 All the members of the laboratory had nominated Arnold for the position of laboratory head.
