116 [はっしょう]/(n, vs) grain removal/

"Admiral, I need to talk to you for a second, okay?

"What's going on, Vargas? Is something wrong?

"There's a lot of wheat growing in the field, but I'm a little concerned about that."

"What's wrong with the wheat? Well, as far as I can tell, it's not supposed to be unproductive."

"The other way around, Admiral. You're over-producing, that. I'm glad you can make so much wheat, but it's hard when you harvest it."

"Well, I know it's tough, but it's better than not working. I have trouble being complained about that..."

"Well, I hate to complain, but let me be stupid. Ya. I don't like the wheat grain removal that I've harvested. I just think that's all there is to it, and now I'm feeling really weird."

"Oh, I see. You mean grain loss."

Wheat seeds in the field before winter.

That's when it finally started to come to fruition.

Vargas has been talking about the wheat harvest.

Apparently, the thing about the grain removal work on the harvested wheat is weighing heavily on me now.

Well, I don't even know.

Whatever, it's going to be able to harvest much more in bulk than the wheat has ever been, so that amount of work will increase to different digits.

Agricultural technology was not very well developed around here.

Originally, it took a really easy farming method of just splashing wheat on the land it managed to pioneer and harvesting what it grew up in.

The reason lies in a long war.

Because men are often taken to battle, people are often left behind during periods when there is no farming.

Rather than carefully grazing the fields, it seemed that it would be better to maintain a land that managed to expand and sow the farmland, which would lead to harvest.

But the situation changed rapidly.

The reason is that I gave him the Barca surname.

Because it is now possible to improve the condition of the field with only [tidy land] and [soil improvement] spells without the hassle of making it easier than before to compare.

Naturally, the quantity of wheat grown there also improved significantly.

As a result, Vargas is expected to be able to harvest enough.

But the magic did not change agricultural technology itself just because of the efficiency of agriculture.

In fact, there was also a really simple way around here to get rid of the harvested wheat.

He tried to shed fruit from dried wheat with his hands and sticks.

I can actually take the wheat fruit this way, but it would take a lot of effort to do so.

I also know you don't like Vargas.

"I can't help it. Do you want to make a grain remover?"

Thus, I decided to improve the efficiency of the grain removal process.

What comes to mind first when you hear about grain removal.

In my case, it was a tool called handling a thousand teeth.

It is shaped like a large quail, and plugging and pulling the wheat between the bars and the bars made of metal causes the fruit to fall.

It is an excellent product that can be achieved in simple structure on top of being made of wheat or rice.

As a matter of fact, I may have already made this thousand tooth treatments.

Originally, there were times when the house in the village of Vulca, where I was born, was also a poor farmer and my father was not driven out into battle.

So I was working on the grain removal with the mother and the children who stayed home.

After all, at first, I was just as disgusted with the hassle of de-grain work as Vargas was.

Manual grain shedding is a real hassle in taking a lot of time.

I had been experimenting with making my own vegetables in the field since I was a child, and it was also a thousand teeth that I created to hedge my wasted time.

However, since there was no metal, the appropriate tree was substituted with something that made it look like it.

Even so, the working time was reduced, but the dissatisfaction remained.

Thousands of teeth made of wood were less durable.

I've always wanted something better if I could.

Shall I make this thousand-tooth treatment with hardened bricks?

It would have been a natural flow to think so.

But I had a brake on the idea.

Because it's certainly convenient to handle a thousand teeth, but I also didn't think it was the best choice.

Indeed, a thousand teeth handling is an extraordinarily advanced invention compared to previous primitive methods of grain removal.

But there is something more developed than that.

Reminds me of the tools I saw in a place like some museum in my previous life.

Sure, there must have been something called a rotary grain remover.

A further invention that drives the handling of a thousand teeth as a thing of the past.

Moreover, it was also a story of some people using it on active duty because it had been used for a long time but was very good.

I decided to try to make that.

Pick up information about the rotary grain remover from the corner of your memory.

That must have had an inverse V-shaped protrusion on the outside of the spinning cylinder.

Rotate the cylinder with wheat on its protruding cylinder.

Then it should have been the mechanism by which the protrusion would shed the wheat fruit.

You can do it by hand if you just want to rotate it, but I think the actual thing was manipulated with my feet.

It is the mechanism by which the cylinder turns when the pedal on the grain remover is stomped.

The problem is in that I don't really remember how the cylinder spins when I step on the pedal.

"So, Gran, it's your turn. I'm supposed to be able to do a rotating mechanism with something like this, you know?

"Hmm, is it a rotating mechanism when you step on it..."

"Maybe, but I think you're gonna use gear."

"Is it gear...... Well, how about this?

"Uh, it sounds like something. All right, let's give it a prototype."

In this way, a rotary grain remover can be produced that converts the vertical motion of the pedal into lateral motion of rotating the barrel using the gear.

Excellent that the grain shedding is over at such an overwhelming speed that what I've been doing by hand is ridiculous.

Thanks to this, we were able to process large quantities of wheat in an unprecedented short period of time.
