Struck by this brilliant idea, I sat up without realizing it.
For instance, isn't it better to recruit three or four people to operate a cultivator for fifteen or sixteen hours a day, rather than alone operating it for two or three hours before moving on to other tasks!
anwhile, soone operates the chainsaw, soone drives the Hijet, soone sprays pesticides—wouldn't that be perfect?
We've already built boats and greenhouses with plastic. There's no need for to carry all these various tools alone while saying, "I must hide that these are modern items!"
By passing on these various technologies to so trustworthy people, not only will productivity increase tenfold, but my work-life balance will also be restored!
Barely suppressing my excitent, I began organizing this genius idea in my notebook. Yes, let's start slowly. Beginning with the easiest to teach, the least strenuous, the safest...
==
"This is what we call a chainsaw."
Yes.
I started with the hardest to teach and the most dangerous.
The reason was absurd. It was because logging with a chainsaw was the most exhausting work.
I too... want to be free from hard labor.
"Ooh... ch-chainsaw!"
"That's right, Oitotan."
The guy in front of right now is not at all trustworthy, but at least he has a position and a na. Not a bad condition for entrusting a tool of the "angel."
I took Oitotan and several other "chainsaw user" candidates to a nearby forest.
"Oitotan, take it."
"Y-yes!"
Perhaps due to the tension of possibly handling an angel's tool soon, sweat was pouring down Oitotan's face.
I patted his shoulders to help him relax before handing him the chainsaw.
"Now... what did I tell you?"
"Here, touch this to start the engine, and the ignition is done by touching here..."
"Wait. You need to engage the brake first."
"Ah!"
Tsk... this feels unsafe.
Still, I've trained him day and night for several days, so it should be fine.
After giving Oitotan one last word of encouragent, I said:
"As I ntioned, with a chainsaw, instead of extending your arms to work, always keep it close to your body and apply force."
"Ah, understood! I'll do exactly that!"
Whirrrrr!
G-good. At least the engine started safely.
It's just trimming so tree branches. I gave thorough safety training, so no one should get hurt...
"Ah, ah! You shouldn't work with the tip of the blade—"
Clang!
Ah, kickback (when the chainsaw guide bar suddenly jumps up).
Fortunately, Oitotan wasn't hurt. That's because Oitotan instantly dropped the saw due to its recoil.
That doesn't an everyone was safe, though. A chainsaw blade can rotate at speeds up to 20 ters per second. The saw that flew off with that force sailed through the air.
And the flying chainsaw...
"Aaaaagh!"
"P-pull it out! The chainsaw is lodged in Nemo's shoulder!"
"Oh, oh, oh my goodness!"
...ended up like that.
==
Alright.
I've definitely learned one thing.
Never, ever put potentially lethal equipnt in the hands of beginners.
In this era, there's no YouTube, no systematic teaching materials, no proper teachers, and no academies to provide all those things.
In other words, people have to learn by instinct.
I can learn by instinct. I have unlimited lives.
But others don't.
This isn't so fugu sashimi recipe—we don't need safety precautions for heavy machinery that are perfected as people die. I'd rather handle all these potential murder weapons by myself, even if it's exhausting.
"Hijet, chainsaw, excavator, forklift, weed trimr..."
Only after thoroughly listing these potential murder weapons could I finally grasp the situation. Ah, so that's why they say not to make enemies with your neighbors in rural areas.
Anyway.
Pesticide sprayer, fertilizer spreader, pesticide mixer, cultivator, crop duster, water pump...
Others, excluding , should only handle these relatively "safe" items.
That... isn't limited to just the simple use of farm equipnt.
"A-a-are you alright?"
"..."
"N-Nemo, your arm flew off! Y-y-your arm...!"
"First support Nemo and quickly collect his arm too!"
...I felt this before when I asked blacksmiths to replicate a two-stroke weed trimr engine for field clearing. The technology of the 20th and 21st centuries wasn't sothing that could be replicated with the crude handcrafting skills from before the Industrial Revolution.
A 20th-century tin can surpassed everything about the most sophisticated machines of the 16th century.
I'm never going to try replicating dangerous technology with 16th-century blacksmiths again. Especially anything with explosion potential.
When the engine exploded, I nearly died.
Whoever it is, I'll make sure they only handle safe technology. Otherwise, I'm not human.
"Mr. White, watch carefully from now on. I'll show you how to use a cultivator. You can determine forward and reverse with this gear here."
"Forward... reverse..."
Of course, now I'll only entrust these "safe technologies" to truly trustworthy people.
I don't know yet, but who knows if there's a way to kill soone even with a pesticide mixer? The killer I saw in a movie once killed three n with just a pencil.
Anyway, seeing John White quickly beco proficient with the cultivator makes feel proud. Before gripping the cultivator handle, White even made the sign of the cross while mumbling so Bible verse...
Indeed.
There's one more reason why I should entrust this equipnt only to trustworthy people.
Power.
In this world, I'm the only one who has these things, and I'm the only one who knows how to use them, so handling modern equipnt might look like so heavenly power to people.
In such a situation, carelessly giving authority to soone ignorant could lead to unpredictable consequences. It's best to entrust it to soone trustworthy who won't cause accidents in the long run.
...Yes. I should create sothing like a certification system.
Since I won't be recruiting many people anyway, they can take an exam in front of , and I'll directly conduct a ceremony to confer qualifications. Like appointing master craftsn.
What should I call this? Agricultural Machine Technician? But that's for people who make and repair agricultural machinery. Similar to heavy equipnt operator... that's it.
Watching people respond with tears and applause as White operates the cultivator, I say to White:
"Congratulations. You've now taken your first step as an 'Agricultural Equipnt Operator.'"
"Pardon? Did you say, ahem, Surgeon (Operator)?"
...Huh?
The high-performance language patch made by Fansuku Software imdiately gives my intuition a signal that sothing is wrong.
The word 'Operator' referring to a 'technician' only has the aning of a surgeon right now.
In other words, I need to give White so kind of title here.
...What should I call it?
Sothing appropriately authoritative.
Sothing familiar to people of this era.
Sothing that looks like it's engaged in professional work...
Um...
...I've got it.
"Ah, I ant Knight of Agricultural Equipnt."
"Pardon?"
'Knight.'
And so began the first investiture ceremony for an Agricultural Equipnt Knight in the New World.
