The Thousand Year Dynasty
12.5 Intermezzo part 3
"Catrols and hooks are principles that we also use to build a stepped wall on the side of a cliff?" Couran asked as he and Nata were talking about the tools and means Aksa had written in the scrolls handed to him yesterday.
"True, it's basically all a simple mechanical device. If we can rearrange and combine the principles, it can be a useful tool for our daily needs"
"This working principle is really very useful"
"You can use it in any field. Like to build a house, dig a well, grind rice. It can even be applied to time markers or as a means of transportation"
"really?"
Nata just nodded.
It appears that Couran opened another scroll and read it. And when he was done, he leaned his body back while straightening his back. "How can Aksa write even his efficient planting and rotation system like this? Even in great detail?" His speech then sounded as if resigned to this unreasonable ability of Aksa.
"Oh, if he is the storehouse of all knowledge. In his brain is stored almost all the science of our world in all fields. Even in great detail. So from that yesterday he was able to perform minor operations, uh I mean matters of immortality. That's because he knows exactly what to do, which parts of the human body are vital and not"
"It is absolutely not wrong that he calls himself a messenger of the gods"
"Hm, come to think of it as well. With all the modern knowledge in his head, he could be the messenger of gods in this world"
"Right, you could easily become gods in this world"
"Too troublesome, I don't think I'm interested in that. Aksa also seems only interested in the adventures and culture of this world. What's more, we're trying to figure out a way to get back into our own world"
"But before you return, give the knowledge you have to improve the life of this world first"
"Surely Mr. Couran, but for now maybe this is all I can give you. Not that I don't want to share everything with you or for the world, but a sudden influx of information in large numbers can make a civilization go awry. Also with knowledge of these principles alone you can improve life in this village.
"If we meet for a second time and life in this village has increased, then I will give knowledge to improve it again, Mr. Couran" Nata said later.
Couran looked smilingly looking at Nata. "Are the people in your world like you and Aksa?" Ask her later.
"Like us? Weirdo? Like to say it clearly?"
"No. I mean your abilities. Like remembering, understanding something"
"A little want to be proud, but we are among the chosen people in our world there. Even at our age, we are equated with the adult scholars. Maybe even more than them"
"I thought you guys were special lads. By the way what about the clothes of this world, are you guys getting comfortable wearing them?" Couran asked then as Nata appeared to move his collar uncomfortable.
"Your shirt is comfortable to wear, even though the arm is too short for us"
"Calm down the villagers have made you two clothes that fit for two weeks. So you don't have to worry"
"thank you. But speaking of clothes, how do villagers wash their clothes?"
"They washed it in the river, why?"
"Hm, I guess I'll ask Aksa to give details of the methods that can be used to improve the way the villagers wash clothes"
"Did he even have knowledge about doing laundry?"
Nata just smiled.
