Volume 4 - Chapter 5 – A gearbox, a magic turbine, and… (2/2)

Since wind doesn’t need to be taken in from the outside it circulates well and doesn’t leak, so it can be done easily.

「Oh, the number of revolutions is high as expected.」

Because it’s basically a windmill, the rotation speed is high. On the other hand, the torque is inferior to a golem engine.

「Oh well, it’ll be useful for something.」

It was fun to make.

Reiko savors the significance of being near someone like Jin.

The data of the work Jin completed is also saved in Reiko, and it’s put in order and preserved so that it may be possible to reproduce at any time. It is the role of an auxiliary storage device for Jin.

「Father, what happened to the talk of creating a weapon?」

And, like a secretary, she points out what Jin forgot.

「Oh, did I say something like that? It will be necessary for the defense force.」

Jin said and then was lost in thought

「, and …」

He decided to make a laser standard equipment.

The reason being that it’s easy to make non-lethal if he changes the strength. Although the defense method is limited, it’s easy to aim and hard to make. (TL: pretty sure he’s talking about for others, so if one gets lost, they can’t just reproduce it).

「Ok, I should be able to make it like this.」

Jin has Reiko get the materials right away so he can begin manufactureing. The structure is simple. In the form of a thin flashlight, he writes the inside. (TL: is it just me, or is he making a light saber?)

「Ok, now for authentication.」

「Father, what is authentication?」

Reiko asked about the unfamiliar words.

「Ah, let’s say, for example, you lost it and someone else found it, it still won’t work for that person.」

Without Jin’s magical power waveform it won’t operate. It was name magic waveform authentication .

Because all the golems and Reiko inherited Jin’s magic waveform when he made them they can use it without a problem.

「And that’s done.」

The prototype was completed. It looked like a tube and wasn’t of the pistol type. (TL: I guess it’s not a light saber)

「Do you want to try it?」

They go outside of the laboratory and aim at a pile of rocks at the edge of the open space and fire the laser.

Thin rays the size of a needle pierce the rock in a few seconds.

「Yes, a success.」

Jin changes some of the settings while saying so and prepares to fire once again. The range is short, which slightly diffused the rays, but the rock was vaporized immediately this time.

「This is dangerous, we shouldn’t use it except in an emergency.」

Jin said and decided to consider another low power weapon.

「How about paralysis…. a stun gun!」

When Jin first met Beana in the Blue Land, she had a “Paralysis Cane”. This allowed him to understand that such a magic tool already exists. (TL:Was it called a Paralysis Cane before? Oh well, I’m going with that for now.)

「Well, I’ll make something a few stages above that.」

Jin was enthusiastic but…

「Father, it’s almost time for lunch, please make sure you eat.」

Reiko told Jin and he obediently left the research center and went towards the house.

「Did Soleil make today’s lunch?」

The menu was toast, citron marmalade, a salad, and eggs sunny-side up.Although it looks like breakfast, Jin doesn’t worry about it and eats.

「Gouchisousama.」 (TL: Although I figure most of you know this already, it’s a formal way of saying thanks for the food after they’re done eating, no real translation for it though. I could just put “thanks for the food” or “I’m done” but I think I’ll leave it at that.)

Immediately after eating, he headed back to the laboratory.

「As usual, when it is about making something, father always lose sight of his surrounding.」(TL: Thanks to T.Y. for helping with this line.)

Reiko followed immediately after Jin to help him.

The stun gun was easy to complete, because he had looked at the “Paralysis Cane” before. He resolved some of the faults and improved the efficiency.

Its looked similar to a wand and was about 30cm long. He also made 2 police baton type ones as well. The wand was for self defense and the baton was for security.

The wand was made of light silver and the baton was made of a mithril and adamantium composite.

「Since it’s come to this, I’ll also make an army.」

Jin said so and made 20 golems and name them from 1-20, Land.

With this, Hourai Island’s armed forces were completed.
