1100 Episode 1088: Next Destination (Talk about prototyping. ）

Takeo and the others had come to Carol's Satella Manufacturing.

"Heh... is this the footstep machine with the bell noise pulling the drawings?

You're doing well.

Says Takeo as he moves the stepping machine of the finished product.

"Yes.

I can see the softness of Mr. Suzune's idea.

She'll be a good designer, won't she?

Dear Kitamizato, this is a groundbreaking tool.

"... did you want to make a lot of things?

Takeo turns his gaze to Carol.

"Yeah. I come up with a lot of things.

Of course I know I have to ask permission from Kitamizato and Suzune.

"... what did the ringtone say?

"Yes.

He said, "Please give me a moment to select the seller of the machine and not give this technology to another territory or another country."

"Yeah. That would be good.

For a while, the machine will only be at the manager Ralph's.

And have you heard anything about Chuck?

"... I get samples..."

Carol makes a difficult face.

"Really? Is practical application still ahead of you?

"No.

I understood the structure of how it was opening and closing.

I was able to make a prototype that was three times the size of the sample I received... and put it on the market. "

"... that there is no method of mass production?

"Yeah. I was able to build the mechanism well where Chuck was raised and lowered, but the cost of producing the parts on both sides is too high.

You can't make a profit if you can't make it cheaper.

"I see..."

Takeo considers the problems in the present situation.

I guess the “ part is like removing a few pieces from the iron plate with press machining at once or I just have to pour the metal into the mold for casting... do I have to think about something that can be made semi-automatically even using power like footsteps?

And I need to figure out a way to sew that on a cloth...

Both seemed to require such a high level of flexibility that there was nothing I could do to think alone.

At the same time, Takeo didn't think much of his anxiety, "I guess it's easy to figure out a solution."

If there's anything made there, we can reproduce it. In fact, Carol says he can reproduce it.

I just can't make money as a business.

It's ridiculous to give out five or six pieces of silver coins in Chuck's part to make clothes.

Well, if you're going to make a special order, there's no problem... but if you want to sell it to the public, you should lower the cost. Do you expect to be able to use the mechanism of this machine as a power source quickly and darkly to do so?

"I know about Chuck.

Should mass production be dropped off once?

"Yes. Okay.

Now let the distraction do the research.

"Yeah. It's good to that extent.

If you come up with a good idea, tell me or the ringtone.

Besides, if it's a special order, can you make it?

"Yeah. It costs a lot, but I think I'll respond to your request.

"Okay.

Then give me a quote to make a chuck of about 60cm.

"Huh?... Yes. I get it.

Are you selling it somewhere?

"Let's start with manager Ralph.

I'll look at the quote, figure out how many I can make, and then I'll ask you to make a prototype, and I'll give it to you.

What do you think of the rest over there?

Plan mass production in earnest if you are going to need it in large quantities.

If the price is high and you are willing to abstain, let's just deal with special orders for a while.

"Either way, you do a small amount of production, right?

"Yeah. Me and Bell Tone have the convenience of having Chuck.

You won't have to make a careful selection where you attach it... but let's just make it.

"Yes. Okay.

I'll take care of the manufacturing.

"I'm hoping.

For once, I'd like a contract with the Kitamizato family for Chuck.

"That, as far as I'm concerned, is gratifying.

I get it. I will bring it with me shortly.

"Yeah. Please... ah... shall we do it after the lab is ready?

"I do hear after April?

"It will.

Pass to our Victor.

Okay. For now, we should probably invest in improving the machine.

"Yes.

Mr. Suzune gave me good permission to make improvements.

"Let me also allow it.

There is a good chance that it will be shipped to another territory, so do something to keep the technology secret.

"Are you a fine worker?

"Yeah. That's blackboxed.

It is an enclosed mechanical device that prevents the internal mechanism from being seen, and ideally it should be combined with a device that makes the device unusable once opened on its own.

"Hmm... I see.

But this time the machine is easy to move once you know the structure.

Is that a secret?

Carol says.

Takeo drops his gaze, "... no one thought of that simple structure until the bell tone drew the drawing..."

"Unfortunately, no matter how much you keep secret, the imitation will come out one day.

But if they let you out soon, everyone's efforts will be wasted.

You should keep a secret to buy time.

"Okay.

Similar actions will be taken when making improvements.

"Yeah. It doesn't matter if it's all part of it, so don't know.

I'll take care of where you're going to be.

Or consult the ringtone when you do.

"Yes. I'll take care of it.

I will also talk to you.

Carol snorted.
