812 Episode 801: To the Carriage City, which had been postponed. 2 (Prototype of the front carriage and ship. ）

Takeo and the others were enjoying their tea and having a cheer with President Roach.

"... is it something that doesn't sell much?

Takeo says as he puts his arms together.

"Yes, the front carriage is not a domestically determined standard, but it is generally the same size everywhere.

Plus it's for shipping, so you're less profitable than a carriage.

Well, roughly eight new cars come in a month, and the rest will be maintenance and repair businesses.

So one workshop is in charge in roughly any aristocratic territory.

We also have branches in every town in Elvis territory, so we have maintenance projects there.

Roach says as he makes a difficult face.

"Hmm... what about the carriage?

"It will be critical even now because we originally have few customers.

Sure, the unit price is expensive and there's revenue, but this must be tons of new customers in the first place.

"I see...

So, I'd like to try to build a front carriage when I get back over there, is that possible?

"Yes, it's possible. What is the use?

Roach came up with a catalog and said, "Which one do you want?" He asks me.

"Ah... right, take it.

President Roach, what I'd like to ask you to do is work with me to develop it.

"Development?

... Dear Kitamizato, what are you thinking?

"My collaborators include Steno Technologies who do research, Shields and protective equipment, Satella Manufacturing Co., Ltd., the Howorth Chamber of Commerce, which specializes in timber and stationery, the Laws, who wholesale liquor stores, Bedford and his wife, who manufacture and sell sauce-related products, and Ralph and his tailors, who collaborate in the manufacturing of clothing.

"Yes.

And the Bedford green fruit shop gives you the sauce?

"Yeah. I started selling after President Roach left, but I was able to sell well.

"Work a few years willing to die," as the other stores I mentioned earlier said, struggling.

"Really... that's good.

Roach has a slightly distant eye.

"So, I expect there will be a lot of demand for front carriages soon.

"... is it going to move that much?

"Yeah. So I'm wondering if we could build a more efficient carriage.

"... is it a shipping efficient carriage?

Roach listens back with a serious look.

"Yeah. I looked at carriages and front carriages in various places earlier...

You can't replace any of them.

"Yep. The basic structure is together (...).

"The part where the axle rolls was embedded with round iron?

"Oh, that's a procedure that reduces friction with the carrier when the axle moves.

Everywhere employs that mechanism.

"Right now, Steno Technologies is making us prototype that part of the improvement.

Takeo says it all the time.

"Or... is it an improvement?

"If we do well, we can't do 1.5x... 2x?

Well, I'm thinking there's a chance that you can carry more luggage now, even if you pull it off with the same number of heads as now.

"Mm-hmm... is that true?

Watch Takeo as Roach roars.

"No... I want to make sure of that, so I want to prototype it.

Takeo says with a bitter smile.

"Ah... you did.

Good, let's take on that prototype.

"Yes, I understand.

Well, it's a mechanism that hasn't been completed yet, so I think we're going to talk about it earlier.

I'll take the story with me when I can.

Oh, and I'd like to ask you one thing.

"Yes, what is it?

"Can you build a ship?

"No?

Roach overheard Takeo's abrupt question.

Takeo was talking about the future ship.

"... I know I do need a workshop to produce a ship if it's the idea of Lord Kitamizato or His Highness William.

I understand, but... we've never done it on a boulder.

Roach says troubled.

"The designer is supposed to ask Count Temple to introduce him.

"Even if you can design... can you process wood...

The ship is a different technology than a... carriage up a step.

Hmm... how can you make it there... "

"... I wish I could make it outside of wood..."

Takeo squeaks so loud that he really disappears bossy as he watches Roach bother.

"Hmm? Did you say anything?

Smith, who hadn't heard Roach but was next door, looks at Takeo in surprise.

"No... for now, I'd like to try and make it.

Aside from the good and the bad.

The corresponding cost will be twisted, so is it possible to get a prototype?

"It's possible. But I've never really built a ship, so I can't guarantee it's going to be good, okay?

"I don't mind.

"Then if you request it, both the front carriage and the ship will cooperate in the prototype.

Because if it goes well, we're going to have a better assortment too.

"Yeah, I think it would be interesting if things went well.

And have you stayed a little longer?

So, Smith boy, shall we go?

"Yes, I understand.

Takeo tells me Smith takes a seat.

"President Roach, I'll ask you when I can go back to the mansion and prototype again.

"Yes, I'll be waiting for you.

Roach said, "This is going to be busy in a few months. I thought."

On the way back to the royal castle.

"Dear Takeo.

"Hmm? What's up?

Did you even find something delicious?

Takeo turns around when Smith calls him off.

"Haha, I'm not hungry yet.

More than that... how do you build a ship besides wood?

"It's iron if you think briefly.

It will be easier to handle than wood in terms of ease of processing.

Takeo answers instantly.

"And... iron floats?

Even in the shape of a ship, it weighs a lot, doesn't it?

"... Smithboy, have you tried it?

"No... no..."

"Then it's important to give it a try.

Besides, it's our lab that does it.

"Ha, well, you're right..."

Smith nods like he can't help himself.

Takeo glanced at Smith like that and thought, "Well, it would be more interesting if Pana's research went well."
