Really? That's the most inefficient pump I've seen. Why wouldn't the author just look up the progression of pumps throughout history and use one of those. Like a parish pump would make a lot of sense for a well replacement...

 

[Owyn]

suddenly minecraft

 

[Estrava]

@Kwantum0 I was thinking the exact same thing.

 

[Keimichi]

wow, a full tower just for a pump

 

[cumdumpster1]

That well looks like shit now. How does it even work? It looks very inefficient

 

[pburgund]

Literally can't work since the gears interlock with both each other and the slats/tread. Middle gear is trying to push the conveyor opposite direction compared to the other two gears.

 

[Jeikob]

This ones always a good time, thanks for translating!

 

[Sep10trion]

More inefficient than a Rube Goldberg machine. At least those are cool!

 

[kaminomikan]

why not a pump?
such complicated device, she could just make a better pulley, add a stopper and a crank.

 

[Vasqueztion]

With only untreated wood to work with, probably couldn't make a parish pump because of wood rot.

But does preservation magic negate that issue? Regardless:

Literally can't work since the gears interlock with both each other and the slats/tread. Middle gear is trying to push the conveyor opposite direction compared to the other two gears.

I thought she was going to setup a pulley system to make it easier to lift the water up. I can't figure out where the inspiration for this pump comes from, screw, spiral, pitcher, piston, force, there's a half dozen pump styles that in the 15th to 19th century that could be made in a small village and they were all much less complicated (and all more functional) than this thing.

 

[TsuDohNihm]

A fun story. I still like it.

Jason's Blade? It's definitely that Jason. I don't know why Friday the 13th is so popular in Japan but I've seen a lot of references to Jason in manga.

Also, yes, the water well is hilarious.

 

[Salfaro]

@SteveJust I'm guessing the author just thought about waterwheels and figured it would be enough to convert the wheel into a belt to fit it in a well, without thinking too much about it.

Definitely threw me for a loop to see her build this thing and not just a typical suction pump, though.

 

[eng1]

Think of the trees! Why wont anyone think of the trees?!?!

Oh and her well is way over engineereed, if not for the magic that thing wouldnt last long

 

[wannabe123321]

Wow they change the Raw version of the manga
The version of water wheel from the Raw version seems more legit than that

[tomtom78]

Spa magic lmao

 

[piapple]

OP magic used right

 

[Sunsettt]

@wannabe123321 No, I think the raws themselves updated it lol. Check the raw link in the manga's description, it's the same on their chapter 4.
