Oh no! After I Reincarnated, My Moms Became Son-cons! Book 6: Chapter 20

While the snow on the roads wasnt so deep, there was a lot of snow in the fields.

Freya and I dismounted to walk into the fields. We used our hands to remove the layers of snow, revealing black soil underneath.

This is very rarely seen black soil. Ive only seen it in Northeast China. Logically speaking, this black soil should be a natural occurrence. The reason the people in the Northeast produce food is precisely because they have land with black soil. Plant anything there and itll grow.

Of course, perhaps my common sense there doesnt apply here since this is a different world, which is why I cant be certain. This might be a sign that the land is poor for all I know.

I grabbed a handful of soil. The ice-cold soil slid through my hand.

Freya watched from my side and then asked, Have you figured out sothing, Onii-sama?

No, nothing

I shook my head with a helpless smile. This has got nothing to do with my major. Ive never fard. I dont even know if this land is good or not if you asked .

Your Highness, if you cant figure anything out, lets head back this place is freezing

Lucia sat atop the horse with her arms folded as she shivered. She was probably ready to glue her entire body to the horse to warm up.

The temperature isnt actually that low, but it seems elves really cant stand the cold. But why does it feel like Lucia is flirting? If you really cant stand the cold like this, how did you survive in the north of the elven lands?

I picked up a small spade, dug up two holes and put the soil into two flowerpots we had brought along.

I then said, After we get back, Ill let Nier and Lucia grow flowers. I want to know if its the land that is poor, or sothing else Ive heard that food doesnt grow well in certain soils but I have never heard that it was a problem for other stuff I need to think about this properly.

Uhm, there is no need to plant anything right now, in winter. We just need to find out what the problem is before sowing seeds. Freya stood next to and walked up to the horses on the side. She said, We need to go and check out the factory next, right? Ah, I really look forward to seeing it since I designed it.

While humans currently have a concept of concentration of production, they dont have a complete factory. This is the first factory.

This sort of out-dated production thod requires ti and manpower. Steam-engines? We dont have them here. But it looks like sobody is thinking of it.

Human society is currently facing a type of change, and that is the contradiction between the production thods and what they want in terms of goods.

Perhaps a machine will appear soon I cant say for certain if itll be a steam engine, since this world and my world are different in certain ways.

The current factory doesnt really match the description of a factory; a factory needs to rely on machines for production. The current machines there are large water-powered machines. The main bulk of the work still relies on manpower. However, I designed an assembly line production system to significantly increase production rates and speeds.

Lucia didnt seem interested in the factory.

We rode to the factory by the edge of the city walls. It was right next to the river, so the tal hole-punching machines and presses were water operated. The ammunition couldnt compare to the standard in the modern day Of course, I wasnt trying to create modern bullets.

After discussing it with Lorana, we decided that we would make rounds like shotgun shells, except that were changing the end of the bullets to a rounded shape.

After combining black powder with smokeless gunpowder and setting the ratios, we can create tal bullets despite them being simple.

The factory is still very new. We went into the factory, and the guards made way. There are two departnts in the factory. One departnt handles ammunition production, while the other manages gun production Ideally, there would be two separate factories, but I dont have any other space right now

The factory needed to be next to the river since the water-powered machines needed to be within its vicinity.

We saw Lorana as soon as we arrived at the factory entrance. She was holding a long gun in her hand and asuring sothing.

When she saw us, she placed the gun down with a smile and greeted us, Hey, youre here.

Uhm. We ca to take a look. I walked over and looked at the weapon she held.

This is a Spencer rifle. Lorana had already made a gun like it and it doesnt look bad. Seeing this ancient weapon be revived in my hands didnt feel too bad.

She looked at with satisfaction as I fiddled with the gun and said, The design for this rifle sure is unique. Ive thought about repeat firing rifles, but my concept failed. Your designs are better, after all, Your Majesty.

I smiled helplessly.

This doesnt prove anything.

The difficulty of replicating sothing versus inventing sothing is completely different. I just recreated a gun that I know of, and while I had blueprints she was inventing on her own.

I admire her production skills more than my own.

The factory isnt in complete operation yet. We are still learning how to operate so machines. Once we learn how to use them we will begin full-scale production, which should be around spring. Lorana looked at the factory behind her with a sense of pride and continued, This is the first ti Ive seen this sort of production thod. Everyone is responsible for an individual part, which is then assembled together. This is truly a simple and pragmatic thod. Plus, there are so many people here working on producing them. If they could be replaced with machines, I presu the production rate would be even higher.

Thats the point of a factory. If we had machines, the factory could continue to produce the needed goods without end. I nodded. I then looked at the rifle in her hand and said, We need to hurry and produce guns and ammunition. I dont ask that everyone in the militia has a gun.,Though, but I at least want to ensure that all of my personal guards have a rifle each, as well as the weapons and bullets they use for practice.

That wont be a problem. Lorana nodded.

She then stretched out her back and said, This is truly an interesting place. If I could have more machines, how powerful would this place be? This must be humanitys strongest place.

I looked up at the tall and sturdy building. In a serious tone, I said, This place will definitely beco so. It definitely will.

By the ti we finished checking out the factory, it had started to get dark already.

It looks like my business for today has co to an end. I now need to head back and join the banquet.

I rode to the palace and returned to my room to get changed.

Ah, Your Majesty, you are back.

Luna welcod with a bright smile. She took my cape and then said, Miss Nier has not returned from the camp yet. Your Majesty, you need to prepare for the banquet that is starting right away. Your clothes have been prepared. Let help you get changed.

Ah, all right

I took off my clothes I wore out, sighed, and then picked up the clothes on the bed.

Luna lingered behind and then hugged from the back.

I was caught by surprise, Luna?!

Its nothing. Its nothing it is just just I feel that you are too tired Your Majesty you look very tired very worn-out. Your Majesty have a break for now seeing you so tired, all of our hearts ache for you

From behind, Luna softly uttered, Do not force yourself. Do not force yourself, Your Majesty if you are tired just say it.

I know. I know. I touched Lunas hands on the front of my waist.

Luna giggled and then said, Your Majesty, Her Majesty ca before and invited you to go to the hot-springs tomorrow

Wha-? Wha-?What?! What hot-spring?!

What sort of developnt is this?! Do we have hot-spring play here too?! So I get to experience this one-hundred-percent fan-service-guaranteed plot?! And I get to bathe together with my moms in a justified way!

Im blessed! Im excited!!
