Day 511-520/Day 512

GT

"Forty-second day / fifty-second day" Golem becomes gold.

I was a little worried about the world's knowledge, but I was convinced by a lease contract for a golem forklift. Engineers who can make golems are precious and are almost always made with shapes that resemble natural golems. Therefore, there is ample room for the use of shaped golems such as golem trucks and golem forklifts.

Golem forklifts and the like may be sold to similar firms that run labyrinth mines. A variety of firms should be able to bite the golem tare to carry your luggage easily. Golem trucks and other large-scale trucks can be saved here, but small trucks seem to be more likely to earn in leasing and rental businesses. There was a feeling that a thick pillar of business was likely to be formed in addition to the transportation business.

For the time being, I decided to go to the huge central office run by [Coalition of Shokai] early in the morning and perform [Original Registration].

The ≪Free Trade City Sectriad≫ offers a myriad of products. There are countless new products among them, but what sells quickly is imitated. A vigorous merchant never overlooks a product that sells. However, even if a new product is developed, small and medium-sized firms are disadvantaged by large companies in many aspects such as funding. Product development takes money and time, so it is inevitable that only the results will be absorbed. If mass-produced and sold at low prices, it will be extremely difficult to collect funds. In that case, small and medium-sized firms will go bankrupt. If this continues, it will be difficult to produce excellent products, and the gap with stable major companies will continue to widen. To some extent, if this continues, it is highly possible that the economy will gradually stall and decline overall.

It seems that a system called [Original Registration] was created.

If you register, you will be able to legally crush even if a similar product comes out for a certain period of time-about several decades. If another person wants to give out a similar product, they are allowed to do so by paying a fixed fee.

Is it a patent?

This time, we are going to register some new golems, including golem forklifts and golem tares. The golem track was already registered, so the procedure was completed without much trouble before noon.

After that, he returned to the store and started manufacturing a small golem plant that made small golems such as golem tares and golem forklifts. At that time, they will also help with the training of employees who perform maintenance and work. From now on, we will need to be able to do what we can because we will be the mainstay.

At first, I made a manual so that there would be no problem even when I was away. For security purposes, make the manual itself a golem and make it humanoid so that you can help.

The small golem plant took full advantage of its abilities, so it took shape at night. The preparations for the trip are going well, so it is likely to leave in a few days.

“四十二日目　／　五■十二■目” ゴーレムは金になる.

この世界の知識はまだまだ抜けがあるので少し不安だったが、ゴーレムフォークリフトのリース契約の一件から確信した. ゴーレムを製造できる技術者は貴重であり、かつ天然のゴーレムに似た造形で製造される事が殆どだそうだ. だからゴーレムトラックやゴーレムフォークリフトなどのように、目的に応じた造形のゴーレムが活躍する余地は大きい.

ゴーレムフォークリフトなどは迷宮鉱山を運営する似たような商会に売り込むのもいいだろう. 簡易的に荷物を運ぶゴーレムターレなら様々な商会が食い付くはずだ. ゴーレムトラックなどの大型系はコチラで抑えるが、小型系ならリースやレンタル業で稼ぎやすそうである. 運搬業の他に、太い商売の柱が出来そうな予感がした.

とりあえず早朝から【商会連合】が運営する巨大な中央事務所に出かけ、【元祖登録】を行う事にした.

≪自由商都セクトリアード≫では無数の商品が扱われている. その中には新商品も数えきれないほどある訳だが、売れるモノはすぐに模倣される. 目ざとい商人なら売れる商品を見過ごす事はない. しかし新商品を開発しても、中小商会では大手に資金など多くの面で不利である. 商品開発には金も時間もかかるので、成果だけ吸い取られてはどうしようもない. 大量生産されて低価格で販売されては資金回収など困難を極める. そうなると中小商会は倒産もするだろう. それが続けば優れた商品が生まれにくくなり、安定した大手との格差が広がり続ける. 多少はともかく、それが続けば次第に経済が膠着して全体的に衰退する事も大いにあり得る.

そこで、【元祖登録】という制度が出来たらしい.

登録しておけば一定期間――数十年ほど――他から類似商品が出ても合法的に叩き潰す事が可能になる. 類似品を他が出したい場合は手続きして、一定の使用料を支払う事で許可される.

特許、と考えればいいだろうか.

今回【元祖登録】するのはゴーレムフォークリフトやゴーレムターレを始めとする幾つかの新しいゴーレムだ. ゴーレムトラックは登録済みだったので、手続きもさほど手間取る事無く昼前までには無事に済んだ.

その後は店に帰ってゴーレムターレやゴーレムフォークリフトなどの小型ゴーレムを造る小型ゴーレムプラントの製造に着手した. その際、メンテナンスや作業を行う従業員の教育も兼ねて手伝わせる. これからは主力になってもらうのだから、自分達で出来る範囲の事は出来るようになってもらう必要があるからだ.

一応、俺の不在時でも問題が無いようにマニュアルも製作した. 防犯としてマニュアル自体もゴーレム化し、手助けできるようにヒト型にしておこう.

小型ゴーレムプラントはアビリティをフル活用したので夜には一先ず形になった. 旅の準備も順調なので、あと数日で出発できそうだ.
