Episode 226: The Sun Apple

Demonstrations of the Ego Steel technology continued after that.

“It has perfect defense capabilities! Would you like to see this?”

Anna’s arm transformed into a machine gun shape and started spewing out mana bullets.

The stage we created together, which was met with a barrage of mana bullets, now became a strategic weapon, and Ego Steel moved around and created a silver barrier.

Blocked the pouring mana bullets.

The silent, swaying shape looked like a blackout curtain.

A situation where the area touched by mana only turns blue for a moment and has no effect whatsoever.

Anna then transforms her arms once more.

“Put the pressure down!”

A red laser shot out from his hand.

No, wait a minute? Is this okay?

The doubt was fleeting, but even after being hit by the laser, Ego Steel was still intact, only wobbling.

Baldur shrugged his shoulders as he watched Ego Steel show off his tremendous defensive power.

An expression as if this was nothing.

“Anna, it would be disappointing if it only had these defensive functions, right? Of course, it has even more amazing functions!”

“That’s right, Master! Did you see the surface shimmering as the bullets and lasers hit you just now? Why is that? Is it simply to reduce the impact?”

“No, no. If that’s all it has, it’s too bad. The ripples that just happened were nothing more than attack absorption!”

“It’s exactly as you think! Not only can you absorb enemy attacks and use them as power, but you can also return the favor!”

“Don’t worry! It will automatically aim at the enemy!”

Anna and Baldur continued talking as if they were having a talk show.

“Anna? Baldur?”

Who on earth am I explaining this to?

Despite my calls, the two are still lost in their own world.

“Blah blah.”

“Yeah, Seol-ah.”

“What about Mr. Beard and Aunt Anna?”

“Uh, um, maybe it’ll be okay?”

As he tried to answer Seol-ah’s question vaguely, Andre, who was next to him, closed his eyes tightly.

Meanwhile, Anna and Baldur continued introducing their products.

“Shoot!”

At Anna’s scream, Ego Steel began firing the mana bullets he had just absorbed into the sky.

Doo doo doo – Mana bullets soared high into the sky.

When everyone just stared blankly at this.

“Hehehe – Even attribute changes are possible!”

Following Anna’s words, mana bullets soared high into the sky and exploded one after another, sending sparkling lasers into the air.

Although it was still broad daylight, an intense laser beam painted a picture across the blue sky.

“Bam! Bam!”

“Huh? It’s Seol-ah.”

What the laser drew was none other than my and Seol-ah’s faces.

Starting with the two smiling brightly, the faces of Osik and the three puppy brothers, Elena and Gyesu, Anna and Andre came to mind.

“Wow-”

“Bya-”

This time, I couldn’t help but be amazed.

Ego Steel, is that right?

Anna, Baldur, and the other dwarves looked triumphant at our admiration.

“Is it possible to draw this time?”

“Ugh, is it finally a draw?”

“It’s been a really long and difficult time.”

The eyes of the dwarves who looked at the lasers decorating the sky turned red.

It seems like he is very touched by the draw he finally achieved after losing every time.

You were paying attention.

I thought he was just joking because he always declared defeat, but I guess he really wanted to win.

“I’ve finally been recognized by my master. I’m now a proper blacksmith!”

“Congratulations, Anna!”

“Thank you, Andre. Thanks to you, I was able to do it!”

“I’m glad you said that.”

Andre sincerely congratulated Anna on her excited words.

“Heehee, Aunt Anna and the bearded uncles, come on!”

Seol-ah, who was looking at Anna and the dwarves in awe, whispered in my ear.

I guess I can’t help but agree that it’s cute, at least for now.

When everyone smiles while looking at the lasers lighting up the sky together.

Ego Steel, which had been spewing out mana indiscriminately, suddenly stopped moving with a whoosh sound.

“Huh? I guess there’s something more.”

“Isn’t it over?”

For a moment, the dwarves and Anna looked pleased at Oshiki’s question.

“Hmm, it’s a very perfect, perfect, perfect substance, but there’s a little problem.”

“It’s a very small problem, though.”

Only then did he mention a problem that was quite large for such a small thing.

“It takes too much power?”

“Yes, it takes a lot more power to move Ego Steel than I thought.”

“Is the vitality flowing from the farm not enough?”

“It is possible, but crop yields will drop.”

Even the vitality that comes from the farm is not enough to completely handle Ego Steal.

It’s literally like an energy-eating hippopotamus.

Well, if you think about it, it was natural.

Maintaining the computational power of a supercomputer, AI capabilities such as shape-shifting and self-repair requires enormous amounts of energy.

Even a single high-performance AI requires enormous power, so maintaining all of the above functions will not be easy.

“Yes! We’ve also prepared a low power mode!”

Of course, the dwarves anticipated this situation and made it so that it normally activates the minimum functions in low power mode and draws energy when needed.

In addition, it has a charging function that allows you to steadily accumulate enough surplus vitality to not cause any problems in growing crops.

The Ego Steel will be operational and will act as an emergency supply source for the entire farm.

The more I listened, the more distant I felt from the stage, but anyway… … .

“Then there’s no problem using it on the day of the fan meeting?”

“Yes, that’s right. It should be able to perform at its best for a day or so without any problems.”

As long as there are no problems on the day of the fan meeting, that’s fine.

He nodded to Baldur and the chieftains’ assurances.

‘I hope I can continue to use Ego Steel.’

I secretly felt sorry that I couldn’t use such a great item properly.

Perhaps, if we could fully utilize the functions of Ego Steel 24 hours a day, fully automating the farm might not be a dream.

Of course, I didn’t say these thoughts out loud.

Because it seems like you’re trying to eat it too raw.

Elena, Anna, Osik, the earth fairy, the fire fairy, and the water fairy are all doing their jobs well.

It’s already almost at the click-level, so being greedy here just seems too lazy.

I swallowed my regret and decided to be satisfied with this.

“What happened to the charcoal from the Shincheolmok tree?”

Another thing that came to mind then.

When we decided to build the stage, we put ironwood in the oven that Anna had made.

If I remember correctly, they used to make charcoal from ironwood.

“I was going to check anyway.”

Everyone followed Anna to the blacksmith shop.

Right next to the blacksmith shop, a smoking furnace caught my eye.

The dwarves standing in front of the door rubbed their palms with expressions full of anticipation.

“What’s the temperature?”

“It’s low enough.”

“Okay, everyone get ready.”

Led by Baldur, the dwarf chieftains, wearing towels soaked in stream water on their heads, rush into the furnace.

Not long now.

“Ugh!”

“this!”

A troubled voice was heard.

“Why? Is there a problem?”

“Are you okay?”

Baldur came out of the furnace and made a sad face at Seol-ah and I’s worried questions.

“All the iron and steel beams were burned down… … .”

It looks like they failed at making charcoal.

As Baldur had said, I looked inside the furnace and saw a black pile of what must have been ironwood.

“Didn’t you say that it has quite high heat tolerance?”

“Yes, it is a material that does not burn under extreme heat as it has the properties of iron.”

It was so completely burned that it was unrecognizable from its original form.

Was the fire too strong?

“It wasn’t that hot of a fire.”

“The temperature control was also appropriate so that it wouldn’t burn too much.”

Of course, the dwarves, who were excellent craftsmen, also thought about this problem and carefully controlled the temperature.

Then why on earth did the new iron tree burn like that?

“Isn’t the decision made?”

Just in case, the dwarves began to search through the pile of ash.

But there was nothing in the scattered ashes.

“Huh, I guess this was a failure.”

“How about lowering the temperature and baking it for a longer time?”

One by one, the dwarves straightened their backs and planned their next experiment.

The idea of ​​roasting slowly at a lower temperature is starting to gain traction.

“Will it completely collapse once it exceeds a certain temperature?”

Elena’s face also became worried as she listened to the dwarves’ words.

Because we discovered a huge weakness in Shin Cheol-mok, who we thought was perfect.

If Elena returned to her original world, she might have to completely revise her plan to build a house out of ironwood.

‘If you build a village with Shincheolmok, it will definitely withstand any attack from the outside!’

The image of Elena’s eyes sparkling as she looked at the strength of Shincheolmok passed by and my heart felt heavy.

“No, that can’t be true.”

Anna shook her head after hearing Elena’s words.

“When I first discovered the iron ore, I tried to smelt it. It didn’t burn even at much higher temperatures.”

In other words, it is true that it has high heat resistance, but Anna tilts her head for a moment.

“There must be another reason.”

He dug through the ashes, muttering the hypothesis that the ironwood must have burned down for some other reason.

Even if you rummage around with your hands, it doesn’t help.

“Activate cleaning mode.”

Anna’s eyes flashed and she transformed her hands into the shape of a vacuum cleaner.

“Everyone get out!”

“hurry!”

After the dwarves rushed out of the furnace, Anna began to clean the furnace in earnest.

Whoosh- How long until the sound of the wind blowing echoed and black smoke rose in clumps through the chimney of the furnace?

“Byebye- Aunt Anna is eaten by black clouds.”

“Aunt Anna is gone?”

“Huh! What should I do? I have to save Aunt Anna!”

Seol-ah stamped her feet while looking into the oven with a serious expression.

To the child, the ash that had bloomed inside must have looked like a dark cloud.

“Eww- If the black clouds get angry and start making noise, we’ll be in big trouble!”

“It’s okay. Aunt Anna is clearing away the dark clouds.”

“The End? Aunt Anna’s Black Cloud Paganism?”

“Graham- How strong is Aunt Anna?”

“Ahhh-! Aunt Anna is here!”

Seol-ah clapped her hands in admiration at the words, “Overcoming the dark clouds.”

Hehehe- I heard laughter from somewhere and looked over to see Andre smiling proudly.

Anna must be feeling good that her strength is being acknowledged.

“Gye-su-yang! We have to cheer for Aunt Anna quickly!”

“yes!”

“Aunt Anna, you are a heretic!”

“Pagan!”

Is it because of Seol-ah and Gye-su’s support?

Anna, who had just cleared away the ashes that had filled the furnace, slowly walked out.

There is a single black bead in his hand.

“Huh? What is that?”

“It wasn’t charcoal, it was a ball?”

Anna smiled with a soot-stained face at the dwarves’ questions.

“This is an apple.”

“ok?”

“huh?”

Everyone looked surprised at Anna’s words.

“The apples that Jinsol put in before closing the oven.”

It was only after hearing Anna’s words that I remembered that I had put an apple in it just in case.

Actually, I just put it in without much expectation.

“Could it be that the reason the ironwood trees turned into dust is because of these apples?”

Everyone was interested in Anna’s hypothesis.

“Let’s meet up!”

Baldur and the dwarf chieftains who had gathered in droves briefly rummaged around the charred apples in their midst.

He threw the apple into the fire.

How much time has passed?

He took out the living apple that had started to turn red when he applied strong heat and started hitting it with a hammer.

What’s strange is that the apple made a crunching sound like iron hitting metal.

“It’s hard to do it alone! Come quickly and help me!”

At Baldur’s shout, the chieftains joined in and hammered on him more.

Sometimes strong, sometimes weak, he continued to hammer delicately, as if following a rhythm.

After repeating the process of heating and pounding several times.

Let’s soak the ripe red apples in the cold stream.

Chiiik – A thick puff of steam is released with a loud noise for a moment.

Let’s take the apple out of the water and place it on the mold.

Jeez, jez, jez – Hundreds of threads appeared on the black shell.

It bloomed like a flower in no time.

Intense light emanating from the exposed flesh.

The flesh that was revealed after the light subsided was a strange color that was a combination of gold and red.

Looks like something I’ve seen somewhere before.

When you tilt your head at a familiar feeling.

“It’s the sun!”

Only then did I realize why Seol-ah’s screams sounded so familiar.

A shape that looks exactly like the sun.

“Hey, hey! It’s the sun!”

“So the little sun has risen?”

“Hello, Sun!”

“Hey, hello!”

While Seol-ah and Gye-su are greeting the little sun.

[SS-Grade Brilliant Sun Life Apple]

[This apple contains the essence of the life apple tree that grew into a mythical tree. It has a hard shell, so it cannot be opened with normal fire. It can only be restored to its original form with the heat of a new iron tree and skilled smelting skills! It is a difficult condition, but if you can overcome it, great possibilities will open up!]

[Provides powerful and limitless power.]

I couldn’t help but gape at the message that came to mind.

So now we’re talking about going beyond just an apple and acting as a source of power.

They say that it is close to infinity.

Have we reached a level where we can produce not only future food but also future resources?

It’s like solar energy in the true sense of the word.

Maybe we can make a car that we can drive for 10 or 20 years, our whole life.

No, maybe it could be used as a new alternative energy source.

In any case, if what the message says is true, humanity has gained a new energy source.

“This is!”

“Wow! What great mana and vitality!”

The moment I locked eyes with the admiring dwarves.

Without a doubt, who will go first?

“Ego steal!”

“Let’s give it a try!”

I thought of the strategic weapon they created, or rather the fan meeting stage.

You said that the lack of power was a fatal flaw.

They rushed onto the stage holding sun apples that were emitting blazing light.

“Just put it up.”

Baldur offered me the sun apple.

Baldur smiled slightly at the expression that said, “Why me?”

“It’s Jinsol’s farm, it’s Jinsol’s crops, it was thanks to Jinsol’s ideas, and it’s Jinsol’s stage, so it’s right for you to do it yourself.”

I looked at his smile for a moment.

“Together.”

Corrected one word.

“It’s a farm we created together, crops we grew together, and it’s thanks to our actions together. It’s everyone’s stage, so it’s right for us to do it together.”

Soon, the entire family, including the dwarves, Anna, Elena, Seol-ah, Gye-su, Andre, the puppies, and the fairies, gathered around the stage.

The moment when we hold hands and place the sun apple on the stage.

A brilliant light begins to spread out from Ego Steel, which has swallowed the Sun Apple.

[I have completed the SSS-grade brilliant Ego Steel!]

[You can conquer the world with infinite power and endless development!]

Finally, the ultimate weapon that will conquer the world has been completed.
