Y/N POV
"Aha! We're here, guys! Do you see that up ahead?"
I pointed towards the continuous stream of water and stream being ejected from a hoel in the earth, reaching amazing heights and can be considered one of the Seven Wonders of this world.
"What exactly can you do with a water pump like that, Y/N?" Palmyra asked. I taught her some science recently, considering that she was the smartest of us if you don't include Chid-chan and Sphinx.
"Great question, Palmyra! Remember how I talked about energy last time? Well, there's a lot of thermal energy stored down there. Humans and other sentient creatures always have utilized the world and environment around them to their benefit, and this is no exception! That right there is the Grand Mogolade Geyser, which is said to be so deep that the water that filled it would lead to the Great Waterfall! You know, guys, if the body of water there is so deep, expelling it out and in terms of steam? How much pressure and force would it take to do that?"
I tried to get everyone excited by giving a general explanation on where our last trip was going to be before we return to the Lugnica to go to the Pleiades Watchtower, but they didn't really seem to understand the vast amount of words I spouted despite trying their best.
"Y/N... What is thermal energy?" Capella raised her hand and asked.
"Palmyra, it's your time to shine!" I pointed towards my pupil in hopes of her answering Cappy's question, but she seemed also confused through my long ranting.
"You know what. Here's a breakdown of why we're going there. Geyser cool. We go get energy for machine. Machine makes more machines using energy. Energy come from geyser. Geyser has lots energy because it's deep and hot. Hot equals more thermal energy. More thermal energy equals faster machine and us more money. Got it?"
"Ahhhhhh.... I see! It's another very well-laid out business plan!" Reize, who has somehow gotten better at understanding my words, started explaining it to everyone. I guess even she has her uses at times...
Now, onto the planning phase.
***********************************************************************************************
"Okay, first of all, we need a diagram!" I yelled towards my team members as we set up our campsite near the geyser, summoning a large blackboard and immediately slamming a blueprint on it.
"Gather around, everyone!" I said as I waved them, especially Typhon and Omega, who were discussing something apparently quite important. The Battalion gathered around my diagram, and I started the explanation.
"So in short, we need to use the fact that the geyser is a giant energy since it's very hot. If I didn't make that completely clear on the way here, hotter things have more energy and therefore we could use it, just like how the steam engine works." Everyone nodded and I started to direct them around.
"Okay, so we first need to make a pipe that goes down quite deep into the earth to connect to the geothermal reservoir that resides under our geyser here. Since Elsa and Reize have the best stamina out of all of us, they will begin to dig the hole until you guys can feel the steam coming out of that tunnel. After that, Palmyra will use her magic to modify the earth so that we have a nice tunnel to put our pipes in. I will create the pipes right now as I speak so we can immediately use them later." While saying that, I created a few clones using Infinite Manipulation to have them utilize the Authority of Deceit to create steel pipes for our usage.
"Halibel and Yae can do the layout of the system aboveground, while Colette can help them carry the equipment in her beast form. While you guys are building that, Omega can shape out the generator along with Sphinx using the extra set of diagrams I have here..." I tossed a scroll over to them, then realized that we had an easier alternative. "Or... you could just extract information from my memories, since I think you know by now how to look for it. We need a generator, a turbine, a cooling tower, and... some kind of closed system for the heat exchanger. Yeah, that should be fine."
I looked away from my paper and back to my whiteboard, then noticed that I forgot to clarify something important. "Oh, yeah, when we finish the cooling tower... Zarestia, if you don't mind, please cast a wind sphere at the top of the cooling tower that continuously shoots out condensed air to cool the water down, please."
"Also, the basis of this machinery is the result of using heated air to move a turbine, which in short, is a steam engine! Just like how our mechanical carriage works... anyways, let's start building- eh?"
I finally looked up from the vast number of diagrams in my hands, and noticed that most of the structure was already complete. "Huh?" I looked towards my clones, who were already finished generating all the steel pipes we needed. The underground tunnel was already dug and completed with steam of some sort coming out of the pipe, and the underground team was already helping the others on their project.
"What, surprised by our progress?" Capella appeared next to me with a yellow construction cap on her head, which made her actually look something like an actual construction worker.
"Oh, yeah, Cappy! I forgot to assign you a role!"
"No worries, Y/N dear, under my guidance, everyone is doing great! Don't you see?"
"Ah, okay then...."
Honestly, I was very much surprised that everyone got to work before I even finished talking. Was I ranting on for too long? Hm...
Anyways, I made a Senku-style generator from Dr.Stone, which generated electricity through the copper plates and wires he assembled at the time. It's not supposed to power anything for now, but rather a set-up for a later project I had in mind.
And so, we completed a highly advanced scientific system in the span of less than half a day.
Truly amazing.
Well, time to finally go to the Pleiades Watchtower. Let's start Arc 6, shall we?

Sneak Peek
Location- Original Multiverse: Earth
Year 2021
"Is it in here?"
"Yes, bro. But be careful around here. Things have been very different since the rise of the queen."
"You mean the leader of that gang of misfits?"
"Yeah, but they're unnaturally strong. They're supposed to be some kind of anime weeb group, but somehow they've taken over every single gang in the area thanks to their leader. And you know what's most shocking about that leader?"
"What? I wouldn't be surprised if she trained in the sword arts or martial arts."
"She's freaking 8 years old. What exactly is her hidden power, one so immense that it can demolish adults older than us? Terrifying."
"I'm at a loss for words. Anyways, what are we doing here...emph!"
The other man got tied up by a rope that appeared out of nowhere. And the man who he was just speaking to suddenly kneeled down as footsteps rung through the alleyway, and a young female appeared.
"You...!"
"Sorry, my friend. I cannot disobey her orders."
"What'cha doing, giving me that scary look? I'm not going to kill you, stupid. This is just a warning. If you come and try to disorganize my empire again, you'll pay dearly, understand?"
An aura unlike any other seeped out of the elementary school child's body, pinning both men down.
"I...I understand! You'll never see me again!"
"No, no... you've seen too much anyways. So I'm here to give you a choice. Join me as a captain, or you'll suffer an untimely death within 3 days."
"I... accept." The man in the rope kneeled down as well, and the girl gave a shrill laugh before turning away.
"Kamato." The girl called out to the other man, who picked up the man bound by ropes.
"Hai!"
"I trust you can handle this. I'm leaving for home now."
"Yes, Oujo-sama!" Kamato then ran off with his 'buddy', leaving the girl alone in the moonlight.
"Hah..." She huffed out a breath of air in satisfaction. "Another chess piece acquired. Just like onii-chan always used to say, 'Allies and Strength is power in this world'."
