第１９１２堀：まとめて作る場所がある方がいい (Part2)
The value of Glass Port Town is high in that regard as well. The fishing boat production team will also transfer to Glass's shipyard and then cooperate in the creation of warships.
"So, will someone else be in charge of creating the warships?"
"That's unavoidable. I believe it's best to have a unified chain of command, but warships and fishing boats have different mechanisms. So, if the manufacturing supervisors are unified, the design philosophies will get mixed up. It's better to keep them separate."
"Yeah, I guess. Boats for catching fish and boats for fighting are different."
"That's right. Well, warships can catch fish, but it's inefficient. Especially aircraft carriers."
"They're far from the water."
After all, the height from the water surface to the flight deck of an aircraft carrier is at least 15 meters. In contrast, fishing boats are at most 1 to 2 meters. It's obvious which one is more convenient for catching fish.
"And there's no place to efficiently store the fish."
"That's true. Fishing boats have refrigerators and live wells, right?"
"That's right. So, the only commonality is that their shapes are similar."
"They're practically separate things, huh? In that case, Fielia and Narjia will be in charge, and they'll be managed separately."
"That's for the best. If the management of that is left to someone else, it will cause confusion. Fortunately, both Narjia and Zargis are involved in the design of warships and fishing boats, so they are the optimal supervisors."
"Oh, right. Zargis was involved too?"
I completely forgot. Zargis is developing various things for Weed, after all. He created a magic power maintenance device to stabilize people like Narjia who primarily live on magic power, and the water shortage for Fiora's older sister was resolved by a magic tool that produces water, which he co-created with Eijil. Recently, he created a magic power generator that can produce electricity from magic power, which was conveniently used during school visits. Considering all that, he's been creating various things for my older brother. In that sense, he's almost like my older brother's exclusive developer, but his presence is rather faint.
"Well, Zargis has been doing a lot of detailed work lately, so he hasn't been very visible, but he's making things like magic power generators, and thanks to that, the quality of equipment that can be mounted on warships and fishing boats has significantly improved. They don't even need to bring candles, so his contribution is quite large."
"Ah, in that sense, it's very convenient."
Candles can cause fires, and while they might bring some for emergencies, electric lighting is that valuable. It's bright too.
"Therefore, it's still uncertain whether we can even build ships on the sea properly, so aerial battleships are out of the question."
"I totally understand. Actually, aren't land battleships difficult too?"
Even warships seem quite difficult right now, so I wonder if land battleships are also feasible.
"As Aslin says, it's not easy, but we have managed to create a model."
"Oh, the model is done?"
"That's right. However, the aerial battleship is unstable. It's difficult to stabilize it in the air with magic power levitation. It can't stay airborne with propellers like a drone."
"So, those aspects are difficult. But land battleships are also floating, aren't they? Why are they stable then?"
That's what I found very strange.
"Because there's the ground."
"What do you mean?"
"Land battleships can take balance by setting themselves on the ground as a last resort, using magic barriers to remain unharmed. From there, they can re-stabilize. However, for aerial battleships, the sea or ground far below would be the place to re-stabilize. If they did that, they would crash. Everything inside would be a mess."
"Ah, I see."
They can't re-stabilize properly when they lose balance. Land battleships use the ground as a reference point when they lose balance, but there's nothing like that in the air.
"It's difficult."
"It is difficult. We're thinking of various things, so please look forward to the future."
But Fielia's face isn't clouded, so I can tell she has some idea of what to do. Perhaps we'll have homes in the sky soon. Building various things at the shipyard is good, but if it exceeds capacity, we'll need to build another shipyard separately. It was the same on Earth. Now, when will land and aerial battleships be completed?
