525 – The Luddite Movement (4)
The Luddite movement, which would have originally spread as a machine-destroying movement.
However, only the power of the machine was known to the world through the activities of the devil worshipers, not the activities.
The Minerva Empire tried to hide it, but it was meaningless. With the weaver’s confession, the power of the factory spread throughout the world.
Therefore, the Luddite movement began to gradually change into a mechanical revival movement rather than a mechanical diffusion movement.
[No need for quality! We need tools and stuff to use right away!]
[Items made by artisans or dwarves are used by 1% of nobles, but for the other 99%, items produced by factories are sufficient.]
[The magical engine was the key to solving the Great Depression. Zenon was right!]
[All that remains now is the extension. We need more magic engines.]
More mana organs. more factories. more supply.
Just as magic is an almost impossible phenomenon on Earth, this world is no different.
I don’t use magic, but that huge iron ball rolls?
Generating mana on its own without magic?
A pure machine, not magic, solves the Great Depression, which even magic could not solve?
One machine can serve more than 100 people?
In the eyes of the people of this world, machines have abilities beyond magic, and are at the level of making impossible things possible.
[We saw the future. Through blood and steel!]
[Blood and steel is a future that can come to reality, not fantasy. Aren’t they not even dwarves, let alone magic?]
[Magic is more of a non-essential aid, but not a machine. From now on, the machine will be treated as essential.]
It’s a bonus that blood and steel’s attention has gone up.
Even in the prologue, it is mentioned that the invention of the steam engine sparked the mechanical revolution, that is, the Industrial Revolution.
Even by the standard of this world, it means that we are on the verge of a mechanical revolution. Naturally, the world clamored for more magical powers.
[What to consider the treatment of workers. The state may be overthrown, as was the case with Machina’s factories, as well as the Soviet Union.]
[As we saw in Blood and Steel, the mechanical revolution will lead to a new society called ‘capitalism’.]
[It is good that the supply increases as the machine develops. However, various problems including monsters are scattered…]
Of course, not everyone praised the machine. Prudent people did not assert that the mechanical revolution would have only good effects.
In particular, the most talked about is the treatment of workers. This is a problem that must be considered when recalling that the decisive cause of the Great Depression was the Makina revolution.
Right now, it is directly operated by the state, so-called nationalized state, but as time goes by, it will change to privatization.
In other words, it is self-evident that fights between workers and factory owners, that is, companies, will become frequent.
[Zenon opened his mouth amidst heated debate about the treatment of workers. If you don’t want the country to change like the Soviet Union, take care of workers’ rights.]
[Working hours per week should not exceed 40 hours, and working hours per day should not exceed 8 hours. Be sure to take a 1-hour break in the middle of work.]
[In case of overtime work for unavoidable reasons, overtime pay or holiday should be paid.]
[No employment of children and minors without parental permission. However, if there are no parents, employment is possible depending on circumstances.]
[In addition to the minimum wage and wage payments, etc. Zeno speaks of a system for workers’ rights…]
So I mentioned the Labor Standards Act in advance. This is the Labor Standards Act.
Although the society and worldview are different, the minimum level of rights can be guaranteed. Here, the minimum wage was only verbalized, but not specifically defined.
The Great Depression did not go away, and the economy of this world was very different from what I knew. This should be decided by the government.

Like the factories in Makina, the minimum ‘shield’ was built so that the workers would not collapse in a harsh environment.
As long as the mechanical revolution, the industrial revolution, is scheduled, it can prevent workers from falling to the level of slavery.
[Machina immediately followed Zenon’s plan.]
However, Makina asked a quick question and immediately institutionalized it.
I heard that Bourges V exploited the factories and didn’t know how to take a break.
Despite proclaiming dwarven communism, Geist is still inexperienced in administration.
Moreover, Ains is more of an engineer and far from a politician. Gias is probably in charge of all the work by now.
[The Empire of Minerva. The cotton fabrics supplied by the magical engine will have a higher production rate than before the Great Depression.]
[Demand for coal starts skyrocketing. Fortunately, transportation is going well, but supply is still slow.]
[Machina. The mana locomotive should show a test ride as originally scheduled. Magical locomotives and railways will clear the clogged bloodlines…]
Originally, after the Industrial Revolution, steam locomotives were invented, but this was reversed. But if it’s good, it’s good, so everyone passed.
However, Makina’s hidden potential did not end there. This was an area overlooked by the Minerva Empire as well as other countries.
That’s Makina’s seasonal ability. So, it is ‘Metallurgy’. As mentioned before, Makina’s metallurgy is considered to be several generations ahead of other countries.
The reason why the quality of Makina’s items, especially weapons, was outstanding was because of one metallurgy. There is a difference in the quality of steel, but the weapon is not good.
This reason was revealed in the ‘smelting furnace’ used by factories. In fact, the furnace itself is not much different from humans.
Just one thing. That the ‘fuel’ used in the steel industry was different.
It is just that the raw material of that fuel was ‘coal’.
[The Empire of Minerva. I put coal in the magic engine, but it doesn’t work. If there is any problem, contact Makina…]
Even the Minerva Empire, which recklessly mined coal, did not know the difference at all.
For a week, they used the coal presented by Makina, and after that, they put in their own coal.
However, the efficacy of the magical powers dropped rapidly, and there were even minor breakdowns.
It was a time when machine praise was the main thing, so the empire had no choice but to be very embarrassed.
Of course, so am I. From my point of view, why is that? I had no choice but to think.
Even when using coal from Makina, it ran well.
[Machina. Just as wood is processed to become charcoal, coal can be processed more easily.]
[If you don’t know, I’ll tell you how to process it, so use it.]
But Makina really coolly gave me a processing method. It turned out that there was no ‘coke’ purification method.
I couldn’t help but be dumbfounded when I heard that. It feels like something is going backwards.
The sequence of the original industrial revolution is roughly as follows.
The demand for coal exploded with the invention of coke -＞ it was necessary to go deep into the mines -＞ it was difficult to drain the cold water from the mines, so the pump was automated -＞ the steam engine was invented -＞ the steam locomotive and railroad appeared
If you look at it like this, the machina goes through the industrial revolution and survives. However, the geographical characteristics and social problems of Makina blocked the way forward.
Dwarves, due to their racial characteristics, build villages or cities near mountains, or mines to be exact. In this way, there is no problem with transportation.
Furthermore, to the tyranny of Bourges V. It can’t help but be a really deformed and unbalanced development.
‘Originally, coke processing should be a revolution among revolutions…’
They have no idea what a revolutionary invention coke refining is.
Why? It’s because I’ve been using it consistently. They passed on, saying that other races would use the same fuel as they did.
From the Dwarves point of view, coke refining was a natural skill, so they didn’t care at all.
Of course, the extremely good dexterity also plays a role. In fact, he was so dexterous that other races could never follow him.
‘That’s why they’re all imported.’
It is a kind of prejudice. Dwarves were born that way, so no one paid attention to them.
From the Dwarf race, he has excellent dexterity, so it’s a big reason he didn’t look closely at the inside story.
No matter how hard he tried, he would fall short of the dwarves, so he must have wondered why he needed to put in the effort.
Raw materials are all handed over to Machina, and Machina supplies them at an appropriate price.
This piled up and piled up until the bubble burst and the Great Depression occurred.
‘It’s really deformed.’
Although the outcome of history is somewhat similar, the flow is completely different. Strictly speaking, Makina alone is showing overwhelming scientific progress.
However, like Helium, Machina also lacks basic knowledge, so there are holes here and there.
Even though the principle of activating the magic engine can be explained in words, it cannot be explained in formulas.
‘But it must be deformed only from my point of view.’
To the people of this world, it would be just an ordinary flow of history. It’s just that the existence of the country intervened.
I slowly skimmed the news that praise for machines and interest in blood and steel had risen dramatically.
The Great Depression will be gone within a month at the earliest or three months at the longest.
Not only the Minerva Empire, but also other countries were introducing magical power engines, so that time would be advanced.
[This year’s Zenon Festival will be held normally. Also, the series of Blood and Steel will have a shorter cycle as before…]
The Zenon Festival, which was almost canceled due to the Great Depression, was also decided to operate normally.
Of course, public opinion about me has risen overwhelmingly, because it was enough to further inflate the hopes that had begun to rise.
Also, he plans to have a meeting with Luminus and Mora. We should apologize to them and release each other’s resentments.
‘And······’
Before the Zenon Festival, from my point of view, there will be a very special ‘event’ that requires tremendous courage.
For that one event, he is building a little bit of build-up and has even commissioned a famous ‘smith’.
Of course, he thoroughly hid it so that his lovely fiancée, Marie, would never know. I even had Ariel shut down, so I don’t have to worry about getting caught.
Because of Marie’s ability, she may be caught, but she can only detect lies, but it is impossible to read her heart like Ariel.
‘Should I do it in time for the anniversary?’
It wasn’t long before Marie and I first started dating. I was very shy then.
My heart trembled just thinking about this event being the first time in my life. I’m worried if I should take Cheongsimhwan at least.
‘I have to rush until the invasion of Poland.’
What is important to me is neither national self-determination nor the invasion of Poland. The world will judge this for itself.
“Whoa…”
I beat my chest lightly at the growing tension.
I shouldn’t be like this already, but I don’t know what will happen when it comes to reality.
‘Why do you think I’m more nervous than confessing my identity in front of people?’
something feels strange
******
Isaac released three volumes of Blood and Steel in the short span of a week.
It is also to prevent the independence of Starbirk, which is sure to boil over with national self-determination, and there is even a justification for releasing the series that has been delayed all at once.
Therefore, the world only became a little noisy with the principle of national self-determination, but when the full-scale ‘war’ began, it began to be enthusiastic in a different sense.
More than anything······
[Operation T4 to make the Aryans even greater. What is the true nature of this operation?]
[In the work, it is explained that it is an operation for the disabled and the elderly, and for the future of Aryans.]
[Is Hitler a person with the ability to create even disabled people as ordinary people? Or does the technology in blood and steel make it possible?]
[Because it is realistically impossible, a strong welfare system must have been prepared.]
The predecessor of the Holocaust appeared.
Es interesante. Pero como seguiran las cosas de aqui en adelante? Se olvidaran de los adoradores y demas?
