Honestly, when I first saw that mechanism, I had no clue what it was. In my mind at least, I was thinking maybe it was a Transmission block of some sort. To shunt the Mechanical Energy from the wheels into something else to release the energy and slow down (Like engine braking). I wasn't expecting something as silly as blocking air holes. Then again, he is an architect buff, since he couldn't even remember how a steam engine works.

While I understand the Duke's concern, I don't understand the issue. Miyabi made his magical bath, and that needs magical energy as well. He's not worried about maintenance on that. It can't be that it's a single charge and that it's useless after, the block itself isn't consumed. And I refuse to believe the hot water blocks will run for years on a single charge. So shouldn't anyone be able to charge the Magic supply on that Wind Block/Engine? Miyabi is obviously incredibly skilled to create it, but I don't think that means others can't.

Not like Tunnel Expansion is going to be an issue. Miyabi just excels in speed and scale. You could dig the hole with laborers, the timescale isn't unreasonable, Miyabi is just broken.

noble really think different.
powerfull item without proper maintenance, just became relic.
miyabi only see his innovation, as game mechanic.
It feels like there is another point to this.

What the Duke probably wants to know whether other Crafters can achieve the same as MC.
Aka., Duke wants MC to teach other Crafters what he could do.

There is also the fact that even the Prince is now coming to Angelum.
Meaning MC would have two Crafters under him during this project who could learn his skills and apply them to create the Train System.

once nobles always be nobles, huh? rotten to the core.

regardless of the flaws, the fact that he didn't respect the deal and one side changing the contract is beyond low, regardless the reason.

even he right about that part he did MC wrong with that!
I don't agree.
What he wanted was to see whether the concept actually works or not, and future repair and maintenance is always part of such concept.

I mean, you can't just lay train tracks if you can't repair or replace them in the future.

So, in a way, what the Duke demanded is valid that any one in higher position would consider before accepting a proposal.

Plus its not like the Duke rejected his proposal, he just added that the one who handles the creation of the proposal is some else, aka., a change in management which isn't something new.

Utoon aka manwhafreak sucks. just block them
I imagine since you can’t block per series vs a whole block some ppl don’t bc they’re the only ones working on specific Korean releases but I am surprised they’re doing JP series

Tho I am surprised he wouldn’t make it more “accessible” for non magic users vs making jobs for some mages or so lol or something that requires less magic since, you know, actual trains in our world don’t use magic lol

Thanks for the chapter, all those utoon teasing notifications were annoying. Duke Beldini does have a point but it seems like there are no time stipulations on getting Karon to be able to operate it herself ( we are all in agreement that's why she didn't join them in the bath)

Miami could just lowkey have built it and traveled to see his friend without telling anyone but I guess he is too upstanding for that level of shenanigans

On some level, probably a small one, I think the Duke is actually trying to teach Miyabi a bit of practicality and awareness of others. Sure Miyabi is learning his limitations a bit with needing help in designing the brakes but he didn't even consider the problem until he actually ran into it directly. He hasn't started anticipating problems in advance and accounting for them just yet. This additional condition seems like a pretty good way to teach that.

yeah. and for that reason, miyabi have no need for them to "invest". he is more than capable to make a single cart train.

the only reason he told the noble is for permission. it's the noble side who one-sidedly want to make this into a national project.
true, he didn't even try to ask them to invest in his project, all he did is try to ask for a permission out of courtesy and try to avoid this project of his to become international problem. they all seem to forget that MC is only one who have a knowhow to make this happen (the noble even admit this himself in previous chapter). if MC have more backbone, he could do this as his own project without a permission anyway and if the end product is only he can use, that's even better since his primary objective is his personal use not commercial use that noble selfishly demand, MC can just tug the train and the rail in his inventory after use to avoid any sabotage.

Man is not wrong. Miyabi has the right idea, he just needs to refine the mechanics for mass production.
Problem is, a concept like this could only be achieved by a Crafter like Miyabi.

I mean, the biggest problem is the Creation of the Tunnel itself for the Underground Railway system.

Other than Miyabi, no one is currently capable of creating a tunnel like that in a short time.

If someone else tried to make with a Crafter like Miyabi's help, they would need huge amount of workforce and even time, as a tunnel like that could take months to make even with help from Magic users.
Heck, if for some reason the tunnel collapses, after Miyabi dies (or being sent back to Earth), no one would be able to fix it, unless they have Crafting skills like him.

So, what the Duke is probably trying to achieve here is create more Crafters like Miyabi, by forcing him to teach other Crafters. And not just basic knowledge, but rather teach all of his techniques and abilities as well.
Probably the Duke wants to see whether Miyabi's skill could be learned by others or not.

I feel like the author isn't going to touch on it but I have a slight problem with the noble side of this arc, they gave him 3 months to make a prototype and now want long term sustainability to be included in that, just feels like mc hit the initial mark just for the goal post to be moved. Worrying about how this will work without miyabi is understandable but that wasn't in the negotiation and would make the given time frame far too short

My guess is more like, he wants Miyabi to teach other Crafters what he is capable of.

I mean, the type of Enchantment that Miyabi uses and with such efficiency, it would be hard for other Crafters to copy him, especially since in this world Crafters aren't seen as useful and only end up doing odd jobs, which reduces their skill level as they can't do jobs which would help them grow (people don't go to Crafters, as they are seen as jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none type of people, so others would go to relevant Job holders who are experienced instead for work).

So, the Duke probably wants Miyabi to teach others his skills, which would help the Duke more as the more Crafters of high skills there are, the more development would be possible.

The Duke's concern is extremely reasonable. If your public infrastructure is solely dependent on the capacity of a single outlier individual, there are tremendous risks, not just economically, but also in lives if the break mechanism fails mid-operation.

However, if it can be proven that an otherwise "ordinary" individual can be trained to reproduce those results, then it stands to reason that the infrastructure can be maintained by a sufficiently qualified group of non-Miyabi experts.

If his bath fails due to improper maintenance after a few years, then the Duke will go back to paying someone to heat water for him.

If the train fails due to improper maintenance after a few years, then hundreds of people onboard may die.
