Lotus (3)
I must have relieved the desire and stress that I had accumulated for a month without realizing it. All that remains is to show the world the books that have not been published.
Eight volumes have been published due to the Great Depression, but now is the time to publish them.
However, if it is published blindly, Musk’s spine may be bent. Machina is gradually stabilizing, but there are many problems scattered throughout.
If horsepower locomotives appear and railroads are laid, the supply problem will be relatively improved, but it is still insufficient.
Because Machina’s factories do not only produce as before, but they plan to invent all kinds of machines according to the changed ideology.
As it turns out, the funds planned by King Bourges V are larger than expected, so the budget is plentiful. There’s just no material.
The Minerva Empire, which was a watershed in the Great Depression, also began to stabilize to some extent through an executive order based on the New Deal.
However, they are still struggling because they cannot keep up with Machina’s relentless supply. The same goes for other countries that were importing goods from the empire.
It is difficult to even paste on one’s mouth right now, so almost all trade has been cut off.
The fortunate thing is that, thanks to Albenheim, we were able to solve the food shortage at a glance. It has been mentioned that even land that was not originally used was cleared.
Unless the supply shortage is resolved like this, there is a high possibility that swearing will be eaten as a swear word if it is published.
As the asceticism showed, people are not so deceitful. It means that resentment towards me may increase.
[The oracle of Luminous has come down! The Great Depression that happened this time is a problem that will happen someday. Don’t blame Xenon.]
[The oracle also came down from the temple of Mora…
In a timely manner, the two gods who were severely scolded by Hirt defended me. Even though the gods are defending me, can they really blame me?
No matter how great a person is, he can go beyond the strife of public opinion and receive even punishment. Thanks to that, criticisms towards me are a bonus.
However, since the Great Depression erupted from the Machina Revolution, I am not entirely to blame. There are still people who are painfully pinching this part.
[Xenon. Finally open your mouth to the current situation! The magic engine is the key to solving the current situation.]
[The situation desperately needs Machina’s help. Even if a blueprint exists, it is difficult to manufacture it. A craftsman capable of crafting is required.]
[Instead of making a heavy machine like a tank, you have to make a separate machine for making small things.]
So I decided to poop with my mouth like Elon Musk from my previous life… No, no. I decided to give advice based on my knowledge.
Although the principle of operation is different, a magic engine is a machine that gives ‘power’. There is nothing different from when the steam engine was first born.
The current Great Depression was caused by an inability to keep pace with the number of people in production. Although the quality will be lower than that of the Dwarfs, the priority is to solve the supply shortage first.
Cold weapons, such as swords, spears, and arrows, are unavoidable and must be dealt with by hand, but clothing, paper, wood products, etc.
You will be able to catch products that are skyrocketing because prices are soaring right now.
[Machina’s geist. I will gladly follow Zeno’s words. Soon, the head of Geist, Ains, will visit in person.]
[The Minerva Empire. If there is power, there are machines that can be automated.]
[The magic engine needs coal. The Minerva Empire is bolstering mine development and employing unemployed people […]
The results were immediately evident. Ains was able to respond to my request even though he was busy, and the Minerva Empire wanted it to be this time, so he pushed ahead with the policy.
Ains makes a magic engine, but it is the Minerva Empire’s responsibility to automate it.
I thought it would be difficult to automate because it relied on machina for supply, but fortunately, the Empire was not completely stupid.
There is one point that has been consistently mentioned so far. It is said that science development is unbalanced here due to mana and magic.
In particular, thanks to the existence of ‘mana’, which replaces electricity, automated machines are in a state of preparation.
It’s because there is no machine that replaces certain substances with mana like the magic engine. It’s not called an invention that changed the world for nothing.
[Not only the Minerva Empire, but also other countries demanded the installation of a magic engine…]
[Unemployment rate starting to decline gradually. It will be several months whether Zeno’s words are true or not.]
[In a situation full of despair, hope gradually began to sprout.]
As things turned to the way they wanted, the people who were in despair began to gain strength little by little. He began to raise his head, which had been bowed down.
The Minerva Empire hired the unemployed to supply coal, and wages were high. And even advanced personnel for transporting coal.
However, the development of a single mine alone requires enormous manpower and budget.
If automation and factory establishment fail, the damage will come back to the Minerva Empire.
It will have an adverse effect on me, much less like pooping with my mouth. But if you don’t know anything else, you can be sure of this.
[An automated machine using a magic engine has already been built in Machina. It should be made based on that.]
[Those who seek quality should continue to use the Dwarf system. We need supplies for immediate use.]
[The price of the Dwarven system will rise even after the Great Depression.]
[The sound that the horsepower locomotive should also be used in a hurry…]
A plague with a clear cause can be prevented, but if there is no cure, it is a stalemate. However, in this Great Depression, even a cure was clearly presented.
Although it is difficult to solve it right away, it will slowly get better as time passes after the magic engine is introduced.
People were relieved from despair as the unemployment rate gradually decreased, even though prices were smashed.
It’s just that the times are tough right now. Isn’t that better than a war breaking out? Didn’t Xenon also give a clear solution?
Emperor Berith and other heads of state were in a situation where even ten bodies were insufficient, but seeing things getting better, they suffered fatigue and continued to grind.
I was also able to find a moment of concern about the relief of the situation progressing as time passed.
‘Now that the magic engine has appeared, productivity can be restored. But as soon as productivity overtakes food, the Malthus trap may come again.’
It is none other than ‘food’. Although the population has risen sharply thanks to the Industrial Revolution, this is a consequential story.
If Fritz Harbor hadn’t invented artificial fertilizers, the world’s population would have barely exceeded two billion, let alone seven billion.
World War I and World War II would have been played out differently. It was because of the huge amount of food that supported the war.
Even with the invention of artificial fertilizers, famine continued to plague mankind. Even China cannot be self-sufficient, so it is importing food from the United States.
It is difficult to even be self-sufficient unless you have a piece of land like the United States.
That’s why Albenheim, who is healthy even after exporting huge amounts of food, calls it the land flowing with honey and milk.
Even if production is satisfied thanks to the magical engine, the Malthus trap will not be broken unless the food shortage is resolved. This definitely needs to be addressed.
So far, I’ve been consistent with the attitude of “Ah, I don’t know~”, but after experiencing the Great Depression myself, I changed my mind.
It doesn’t matter if all kinds of delusions are called delusions. Most of the people who treat me like a prophet while I’m alive, let’s deny it now.
But you can make fun of your mouth and become the real Elon Musk. As much as that, I wanted to decline Hansako.
Moreover, the worldview itself is different, as seen in the Great Depression that broke out this time. A deformed economic structure is also normal in this world.
A magic engine and a tank that should appear at least two centuries later. There are so many unbalanced parts in many ways that I can’t easily play with my mouth.
So, let’s pick out only the parts that are helpful to ‘humanity’ and let them know. Let’s use our already sky-piercing reputation.
“You’re going to create a foundation?”
Dad opened his eyes and expressed his doubts. Seeing that the mother next to me also had a similar expression, it seemed unexpected that I would say such a thing.
After a few words in the press to address the Great Depression, he briefly returned home. I called my parents and gave them a plan.
It is none other than setting up a foundation in my name. It is not that I am watching from afar, but that I have expressed my will to step forward.
“What is that? It’s not going to be eaten.”
“·······”
Oh. Although there is a concept of sponsorship here, there is no concept of a foundation. I can understand why your father reacts like that.
In fact, the family itself is a foundation. Perhaps because of this, the nobles do not easily support their names under their names.
If the person you donate for some reason commits a crime or goes wrong, you and your family will have to take over all the stigma.
So I coughed and taught the concept of the Foundation in detail.
“It’s a concept similar to a kind of patronage. Usually, when the reputation of the patron rises, the reputation of the sponsored family also rises? You can think of it as similar to that.”
“What’s the difference?”
“If sponsorship is focused on the individual, the scope of the foundation is wider than that. Also, although fame is reputation, it contributes greatly to social contribution. My establishment of the foundation is close to that.”
Even after listening to my explanation, my parents had a happy expression on their faces. hahaha, it’s similar to sponsorship, but it’s a different story, so you might be a little unfamiliar with it.
The only reason I founded the Foundation is for the advancement of science. Broadly speaking, it would be a science class.
Doesn’t the academy teach physics or math? You may ask, but even that is not enough.
In the academy, ‘non-science’ and ‘literature’ are separated from each other, not ‘literature’ and ‘science’.
This is unavoidable, because the existence of monsters makes it important for those with strong arms.
The elves with the best basic knowledge are basically strong enough to focus on other things, while humans find it difficult to even protect themselves.
Although Lina had started supporting my advice before, it was practically no different than supporting a wizard.

Just as the scientific revolution that occurred between the 16th and 17th centuries separated philosophy and science, so it is necessary to separate magic and science from each other.
The reason why it is a distinction rather than a separation is that in some cases the two fields merge with each other. Just look at the tank with the magic engine grafted on it.
It is to help them delve into their respective fields without touching the parts that are far from common sense.
There is an old saying that a person who digs only one well can achieve great success, so all you have to do is build the well yourself.
“Hmm…if you decide that way, I don’t care. It’s not a bad thing because the money is overflowing with rot anyway.”
“This mom is interesting too. There’s no better way to raise your reputation. I’ll help you as much as you can.”
When I explained all of this, both of them nodded in agreement. If you only listen to it in words, it would be perfect, it would be close to a donation angel.
It’s actually true. There are many people in the world who cannot fulfill their dreams for various reasons.
Above all, when I set up the foundation, there is only one thing that I value most, and that is to give up my identity and work as an equal researcher.
Democracy is one of the causes of the scientific revolution in Western civilization. In Eastern Bloc culture, criticize while raising an objection to the other party?
It is unimaginable in an established culture. On the other hand, Western civilization is quite free to present and criticize each other thanks to democracy.
This is similar to Albenheim. The elf race itself is so conservative that it is difficult for a scientific revolution to occur.
On the surface, it seems that scholars from all over the world are gathering and sharing their opinions, but since elves are the mainstream, it is said that they are suffering.
On the other hand, the foundation I will set up will be a place where people can exchange opinions regardless of their status, infinitely free from their status.
“Thanks to both of you. However, as the country is a city, it will be established after the Great Depression. Until then, we will build the foundation little by little.”
“Do whatever you want. As I always said, we are always supporting you.”
“It looks like he’s matured. What’s happened in the meantime?”
My mother laughed and asked a sharp question. I couldn’t help but shudder at the question for a moment.
After all, there is no child who can hide a secret from his parents, and when I heard that question, I smiled perplexedly.
If you’ve already stumbled over your body, you’re probably all over it. My mother nodded as if she knew this too.
“Okay. If there is anything difficult, please feel free to ask. You don’t have to carry it alone.”
“·········Thank you. Then can I ask you one thing?”
“What is it?”
There was one thing I had to worry about while going through the ordeal.
“I want to visit my brother and sister.”
Let’s give more attention to our older brother and older sister who are likely to get hurt. I’m still uneasy about being deployed in the border area, but I’m worried after going through penance.
The future is almost gone now, but if there ever comes a future where I really cut my own wrist, there is only one.
It means that your family or loved ones will suffer greatly. If it’s serious and beyond serious, you could die.
Dave and Nicole have no choice but to worry. Moreover, didn’t I say that the behavior of the savage beast is not unusual recently?
“You mean meeting? It’s possible, but…”
“Did the gods tell you any future?”
It seems that my parents couldn’t listen to me when I said something like that, not anyone else.
I took turns looking at my parents who questioned me with an anxious look, then waved my hand to answer.
“It’s not like that. I’m just wondering if you’re doing well, and I want to see what the Navy Knights are like.”
“Hmm… If that’s the case, it doesn’t matter. But I can do a mission, so don’t ask me.”
“Thank you. Do you have anything to bring with you to the visit?”
“I’ll just have to bring something to eat. Or ask the artist Carls to do a shunhwa…”
“What is Ii talking about!”
As you said otherwise, it’s the mother’s taste that comes back. But my father had a very sad expression on his face.
You must be embarrassed because you said it from your own standards. I let out a faint smile as I looked at my grumbling father.
“Oh, by the way, where are Grandpa Clark and Ariel?”
“Go to your bedroom. Maybe you’ll find something interesting.”
I went back to my bedroom after a long time according to my father’s words. As soon as I got home, I met the two of you first, not in the bedroom.
smart-
“It’s me, Grandpa Clark. May I come in?”
Even if you knock on the door in case you don’t know, there’s no answer. I opened the door carefully, wondering if he was sleeping.
Afterwards, a situation that made me laugh was created in my sight.
[Hey. Can you back down just once?]
With Grandfather Clark, who groaned as if he had fallen into a trap and offered a favor to him.
“Even Grandpa can’t do it! This is a game!”
As if to express their unequaled spirit, Ariel, with her sprouts upright, was playing Go with each other.
It was quiet for some reason, so these two were completely obsessed with Go. Both fit well and are cute.
tuk-
“Huh? Huh? Uh huh? What, what?”
[You should have listened to Grandpa like that.]
“This isn’t this…”
Perhaps it was a highly psychological warfare, and as soon as Clark released the black stone, Ariel was greatly embarrassed.
The sprout, who had been standing with equal momentum, immediately bowed her head, as if expressing embarrassment. Ariel can’t do psychological warfare even because of the sprout.
“Uhhhhhh… Oh, Daddy? It’s Daddy!”
Ariel, who was trembling after being caught in a trap, found me and immediately became agitated. Then he comes and runs to me.
I spread my arms wide and hugged her. It feels like I’ve grown a lot while I couldn’t see it.
By the way, I think I ran to find a breakthrough, but I must be mistaken.
“Dad! Help Ariel! Grandpa is hurting Ariel!”
“·······”
it was real this guy’s troublemaker.
Let’s see if it’s cute though. It’s not bad to play Go in the greeting car.
“········ Sorry. This can’t be done.”
“Puu! Why not!”
[Heh heh heh heh.]
Of course, it couldn’t be.

When the Great Depression showed signs of easing to some extent, Blood and Steel 10 volumes were pre-released.
This is to continue the development that has not progressed without even noticing it. The paper supply is in a good condition, so public opinion is not bad.
And in Volume 10 of Blood and Steel, the first ‘tank’ appeared and the ‘Sino-Japanese War’ broke out at the same time.
Tanks are also tanks, but people focused on the absurd cause of the Sino-Japanese War.
[Say something that makes sense. A soldier went to have a bowel movement, but reported missing? What kind of group is this?]
[Isn’t Zenon overdoing it for the sake of development?]
Was it from this time?
[Various things happen in the military, but this doesn’t seem to be the case.]
Gradually, people began to distrust the ‘history’.
