Zhongli poured himself a glass of wine.
He picked up the glass and smelled it carefully.
Catching the fragrance, Zhongli couldn't help but exclaim:
"It seems the master craftsman did well."
"He must have known this formula and understood how to prepare it."
"Otherwise, it would be impossible to make such authentic wine."
He then drank it in one gulp.
After tasting it, a smile appeared on his face.
Seeing that expression, Takumi understood—it was a success.
"If it settles for a while, the taste will improve."
"Or if it's chilled, the flavor becomes even better."
"The spicy edge disappears completely."
Zhongli gave his evaluation.
In fact, this was the proper way to drink this wine.
Takumi was surprised when he heard that.
Chill it?
Thinking about it, Takumi created a wine glass.
He poured himself a serving, then used the power of the Herrscher of Ice to cool it slightly.
He downed it in one go.
Drinking it this way was completely different from last night.
It tasted even better.
Takumi's eyes lit up when he realized this.
"Really not bad."
"It tastes great."
He then poured a full glass for Shuidong as well.
Seeing this, Zhongli poured himself another cup.
He drank together with Takumi.
The two continued drinking and chatting.
Most of the conversation revolved around wine.
After a while, the bottle was empty.
Still wanting more, Takumi brought out additional drinks so they could continue.
Once chilled, the aroma became softer.
But the flavor improved noticeably.
As they were drinking, someone else walked in.
The newcomer was Ji Mo.
"What?"
"You two are drinking in broad daylight?"
"Wait!!"
As she spoke, she sniffed the air.
Her eyes brightened immediately.
She hurried to the table and sat down.
"It's early cereal wine."
"Really not bad."
"Give me a glass."
She sat happily, staring at the wine.
Hearing her, Zhongli didn't comment. He quietly took out a new wine glass and poured her a serving.
Ji Mo picked up the glass and drank it in one gulp.
She happily said:
"It tastes really good."
"This is the flavor!"
"Very nice."
"I didn't expect to drink this kind of wine again."
She was delighted.
She poured herself another glass.
Takumi only smiled and said nothing.
After drinking two cups, Ji Mo spoke again:
"Good thing you're here."
"I don't need to contact you anymore."
"When you have time, go to the space agency."
"I've already designed the spaceship you wanted."
"Although it can't leave Teyvat, it's perfect for transporting goods and passengers."
"We've begun production."
"It should be finished in about a month."
She revealed everything.
Hearing that, Takumi's eyes lit up.
"This works."
"Did you bring the blueprint?"
"Let me see."
"If there's no issue, we can enter mass production."
He hadn't expected it to be completed so quickly.
Ji Mo nodded. She had brought the blueprint.
She pulled it from her sleeve and handed it to him.
Takumi inspected it carefully.
A spaceship was basically a large anti-gravity system plus several control mechanisms.
He had already built a flying motorcycle.
Now she provided an ark-type design as reference.
With Liyue's current technology, building a spaceship wasn't difficult.
After checking quickly and running a mental calculation, Takumi said:
"No problem."
"It all makes sense. It can be mass-produced immediately."
"There's not even a need for testing."
The control system, protective system, balance modules—everything was well designed.
No testing required.
Mass production was possible immediately.
Hearing this, Ji Mo took another sip of wine and said:
"Good!"
"Then I'll start mass production."
"How many should we make?"
She was curious.
How much should they produce?
Takumi thought for a moment and replied:
"Let's start producing."
"A dozen to twenty units is fine."
"Even with Wind Wings, they'll serve well for troop transport."
"Air deployment would be no problem."
"In normal times, they can be used for cargo and passengers."
"If this thing flies to Inazuma, it should take about an hour, right?"
Takumi returned the blueprint to Ji Mo.
She smiled and stored it away.
"Exactly."
"According to my calculations, about an hour and a half, maybe faster."
"If it's Mondstadt, even faster."
"About half an hour per trip."
"However, if these craft start flying regularly, we'll need to create designated routes."
"Otherwise, collisions will eventually happen."
She laid everything out.
She had already noticed the need for flight paths.
They had to be regulated.
Otherwise, problems were inevitable.
"There's nothing to worry about. Nuwa can create the regulations."
"It won't be a problem at all."
Takumi wasn't concerned.
Nuwa would naturally handle those issues.
After finishing that discussion, Ji Mo remembered something else.
She continued:
"If you have time, go to the organ workshop."
"Thanks to the spaceship inspiration, they made a small model."
"The kind that flies with heavy cargo."
"It might be useful."
"You should check it."
"They've also built many fighter-type models over there."
Takumi raised an eyebrow.
So everything was already completed?
"I'll take a look."
If so, those small aircraft might even be sold.
People from the Adventurers' Guild and Sumeru would definitely be interested.
After that, the talking stopped.
They resumed drinking.
After he was almost drunk, Takumi stood up and prepared to leave.
He handed the remaining wine to Zhongli.
Takumi didn't stay long and headed straight to the organ workshop.
He wanted to see whether Ji Mo's words were true.
To check what those small flying devices were like.
If they were practical, they could be mass-produced and sold.
