Kuromaku Ikka ni Tensei Shita kedo Gensaku Mushishite Dokuritsu Suru - Vol. 2 Ch. 5.1 - I Will Annihilate the Scummy Viscount and Gain My Independence

I think it's more amazing that he designed the full refridegeration process in a bumpy carriage to such a degree that he doesn't even need to channel specific spells and a mana stone can replace the caster.

No tools, he even somehow made the housing and insulated it.

So this one is back

 

[Orenji-kun]

Refrigerant is not the issue there are many common refrigerants, like ammonia, propane.

The roadblock to refrigeration is the ability to produce, compress and store gasses. The first of what we would call a real air compressor was in 1829, people had been experimenting knowing that the evaporation of liquids could drop temperatures such as evaporating solvents under vacuum since 1804 and some experiments earlier. It wasn't until the invention of the air compressor that the first working compressor based closed loop refrigeration cycle was made in 1834

In addition, idk if the translation was wrong, or the author was wrong, but refrigerant does not become fully liquid during cooling or compression in most cases and he just needs an expansion valve (small hole) to turn the liquid into really cold gas

Idk about propane, but isn't ammonia extremely dangerous to use as a refrigerant? The kind of refrigerant used can be extremely important because of the possibility of leakage whether during assembling, from rough handling (they are on a carriage which is not exactly a smooth ride), or from everyday wear and tear. Many refrigerants are toxic if inhaled or if it gets on your skin, so it's not so much whether or not it's possible that he got or made a refrigerant but rather that he got or made an undisclosed refrigerant while riding a carriage and somehow made a well sealed refrigeration system on his first try.

The author didn't even bother justifying him having not just the knowledge but the experience by saying he was an engineer or a chemist in his past life or even just that he happened to work in a factory where they made refrigerators, and he didn't explain anything about magic before this point either. Did he materialize the entire refrigerator pre-assembled all in one piece like he made those knives, or did he have to assemble it and make the glues and seals one by one? It just feels like he pulled internet knowledge out of his ass and made magic fill in the gaps in his knowledge like we've seen a million times from isekai slop that copied better written stories without doing any creative thinking or rigorous experimentation or testing. It's not like we don't expect it, this is isekai slop after all, but it's still wearing thin on my suspension of disbelief.

In the meantime the Mangaka got a new gig doing the reboot of the super popular web comic Dying Elf and the Apothecary.

*mistake, changed "light novel" to "web comic".

His stocks shooting up so fast like the Mangaka of Lazy and Villainous Noble who is now doing an Tougen Anki spinoff.

You sure it is the same artist? because according to the credits page it is Hosokawa Shingi https://mangadex.org/title/a08cd14f...o-no-elf-san-o-shiawase-ni-suru-kusuriuri-san

If you don't mind me asking, where did you read the volume release for this?

on ebookjapan

No Patrick mayonnaise is not an instrument

Horseradish is not an instrument, either.

 

[MadlySoldier]

So they have magic, but they need technology to make a fridge? Does ice magic not exist here?

Tbf, in this chapter, it's pointed out that using purely Ice Magic is rather wasteful, thus trying to mix with "usual isekai trope" technology knowledge, made it more efficient

 

[FloorRoof]

Resumed serialization? Doing well in sales? Good to hear, I guess. You'd think a gap like this would mean serious trouble and an axe.

 

[InsaneAwesomeTony]

Thanks for the chapter 🙏🏼❤️

Merchant: "We can solve the mana issue by using magic stones found in monsters. If we collect a large amount, we can do mass-production!"

And as luck would, Daddy Dearest is sending a big supply of magic stones to his son. Such a doting parent!

 

[nobody2002]

I thought the same thing. 😆

 

[Migrant]

It's either mayo, rice or soy sauce. Pick your poison.

Hairdryer

 

[BanzaiYuri]

Would love to see an isekai where they already figured all this magic tool stuff out like Dahliya but the protagonist literally can't contribute anything because they've had it for so long.

 

[Rayla89]

Honestly he could probably out-rich his dad with that refrigerator if he finds a way to mass produce it.

 

[gaybowser]

If it was that easy, you'd think they would have already invented it...man, I hate how many stories depict the otherworld as stupid. I also think it's funny that water magic can create a "refrigerant" (the big roadblock to commonplace refrigeration) out of nothing.

I also like how they use wind magic as a compressor for the refrigerant despite that not making any sense whatsoever, since it was created with water magic

Merchant dad: "I thought our entire bloodline would be snuffed out"
Yuri: "no, if anything I'm planning to help you continue your bloodline"

 

[monkey123]

Welp he's invented refrigeration. Next stop: mayonnaise!

Where's bidet toilet, onsen and rice cultivation?

Oh god that one, i still remember how creepy that story was.

This makes me imagine an isekai where the whole point is that mc just wants to make a sandwich or some shit. Does that already exist?

 

[Knighto]

Welp he's invented refrigeration. Next stop: mayonnaise!

what about soy sauce ... xd
still look his cool idea just need mana stones that comes from monsters... which just coincidentally is gonna invade him soon
