Chapter 49: Unveiling the Power Within

One day in the afternoon, Narumi made his way to the newly constructed factory, located in the back courtyard of the royal castle, alongside his workshop and the 1st factory. The size of this new facility was several times larger than the current one, thanks to a substantial donation and an influx of skilled magic craftsmen from other countries. With the expanded space, they could now engage in mass production of Narumi's invention, significantly increasing both quantity and speed.

As Narumi stepped into the bustling new factory, the hum of machinery and the scent of metal filled the air. Magic craftsmen scurried about, their gestures precise and purposeful as they operated the state-of-the-art equipment. Narumi's eyes gleamed with pride as he surveyed the expansive production floor. He had poured his heart and soul into designing this space, ensuring it was optimized for efficiency and productivity. The magic craftsmen, recognizing Narumi's presence, paused their tasks and respectfully bowed.

With a warm smile, Narumi addressed the gathered magic craftsmen. "I am incredibly grateful for your dedication and hard work in bringing this new factory to life," he expressed sincerely. "Thanks to your efforts, we now have the capacity to produce our vehicle and equipment on a much larger scale, reaching more people and making a greater impact."

The magic craftsmen nodded, their faces filled with a mix of pride and determination. They knew their role in realizing Narumi's vision and were inspired to contribute their best. Narumi's gaze shifted to the massive machines lining the production floor, their magic mechanical arms whirring and moving with precision. "But remember," he continued, his voice filled with a touch of solemnity, "the true power of our creations lies not just in their physical form, but in the purpose they serve."

He raised his hand, his gesture encompassing the entire factory. "This place is not just a space for mass production," Narumi emphasized. "It is a symbol of progress, innovation, and the collective efforts of all those involved. Each equipment that leaves this factory carries with it the potential to change lives, to bring about advancements, and to contribute to a better future."

The magic craftsmen listened intently, their faces reflecting a newfound sense of purpose. Narumi's words resonated with them, fueling their passion for their craft. "Together," Narumi concluded, his voice filled with unwavering determination, "let us continue to push boundaries, to strive for excellence, and to use our skills and knowledge to make a positive difference in the world. The potential within this factory is limitless, and I have full confidence that we will achieve remarkable things together."

As Narumi finished speaking, applause erupted throughout the factory. The magic craftsmen' hands clapped together, their gestures a resounding affirmation of their commitment and shared goals. They were inspired to work harder, knowing they were part of something greater than themselves—a force that would shape the future and leave a lasting impact on generations to come.

After completing a tour of the new factory, Narumi headed to the research room within the 1st factory. "Narumi-sama! Please come and see the astounding test results of diamond eye!" exclaimed the ancient scholar in charge of the research. Their excitement was palpable as they continued, "This diamond eye, salvaged from the 3rd colossal biomachine monster, possesses an incredible ability to absorb any form of energy and convert it into its own! Whether it's an underground energy vein or the dense mana in the atmosphere, this diamond eye can harness it. And if we use it as the core of a magic reactor, the engine output will become enormously powerful!"

The scholar's enthusiastic explanation left no room for interruption, but Narumi couldn't help but grin. As a magic engineer himself, he understood the ancient scholar's excitement all too well. Just as he was about to engage in discussion and delve into the details, another ancient scholar hurriedly approached with a fervent expression. This ancient scholar excitedly shared their findings regarding the four large-colored jewels obtained from the elongated tails of the 4th colossal biomachine monster.

"These four big color jewels are truly remarkable," the ancient scholar exclaimed. "They, too, have the ability to absorb the dense mana from the atmosphere and convert it into elemental energy beams. We conducted tests by shooting energy beam at an energy shield, and the results were astonishing!" With that, the ancient scholar presented Narumi with a stack of papers documenting their findings.

Narumi's eyes sparkled with anticipation as he glanced through the papers, witnessing the potential of these incredible discoveries. He nodded appreciatively, acknowledging the ancient scholars' efforts. "These breakthroughs are truly remarkable," he remarked, his voice filled with admiration. "With this diamond eye and the elemental jewels, our technological advancements will soar to new heights. Let's gather the team and discuss how we can harness this newfound power to further enhance our inventions."

Then, as Narumi delved into the plans for utilizing diamond eye and the elemental jewels, one of the ancient scholars proposed the idea of upgrading Narumi's giant mech's abilities and weaponry. They suggested consolidating all the powerful equipment and weapons into a single unit to maximize its potential.

However, Narumi raised a hand to pause the discussion, his expression thoughtful. "I understand the appeal of concentrating all that power into one formidable unit," he began, his voice calm but determined. "But if I were to bear the burden of controlling and operating such a behemoth alone, it would limit our overall effectiveness on the battlefield. Besides, I believe in the strength of teamwork and cooperation."

The ancient scholars exchanged puzzled glances, their eyes reflecting confusion as they tried to comprehend Narumi's intentions. However, Narumi remained unwavering, his gaze steady and determined. He pressed on with his proposal, his voice filled with conviction.

"Allow me to present an alternative idea," Narumi began. "Let us construct a floating fortress on a grand scale, capable of accommodating multiple units and providing essential supplies to our frontline forces. This remarkable fortress will serve as a mobile command center, delivering crucial fire support to our troops. And what sets it apart is its unparalleled speed, allowing it to swiftly navigate any terrain."

The ancient scholars' confusion gradually transformed into intrigue as they began to grasp the concept. Narumi's visionary idea ignited their curiosity and imagination.

With a reassuring smile, Narumi continued, expanding upon his proposal. "By creating a floating fortress of this magnitude, we can distribute power and capabilities among various units and the fortress itself. This approach will result in a stronger frontline force, offering unparalleled flexibility and adaptability. Each unit will have its specialized function, working in perfect harmony with the support of the fortress. Ultimately, this large mobile floating fortress will stand as a symbol of unity and strategic superiority."

As Narumi spoke, he activated the control panel of the meeting table, generating a holographic display that showcased a preliminary design of the large mobile floating fortress. The hologram projected his vivid vision, allowing the ancient scholars to witness the potential of this groundbreaking concept firsthand. Their curiosity was piqued, and they leaned forward, captivated by the intricate details unfolding before their eyes.

The ancient scholars, now fully engaged, exchanged excited gestures, their hands illustrating their newfound understanding. Ideas flowed freely as they envisioned the immense possibilities and challenges that lay ahead. The room brimmed with enthusiasm and a shared sense of purpose.

Narumi, aware of the ancient scholars' enthusiasm, invited their input and collaboration. Each ancient scholar contributed their expertise and insights, gesturing passionately to emphasize their points. The room became a vibrant hub of creative exchange, with ideas blossoming and intertwining in a harmonious dance.

As the discussion reached its peak, the ancient scholars departed the meeting room, their gestures displaying a renewed determination. The seeds of an extraordinary endeavor had been planted, and the room resonated with anticipation for the arduous but rewarding journey ahead. The project of constructing the large mobile floating fortress had taken shape, driven by the collective vision and gestures of a dedicated team.
