Volume 2 Chapter 62:

"I see. I need to fix the design of the oven as well." Keith thought about it,

"The heating crystals on the top have to be equally distributed." He realized the crystals weren't aligned correctly.

"I should also find a strong metal to make the oven out of," Orin added. He used regular iron to make the hull of the oven.

He picked up a side of the oven from the debris. And it was pitch black from being melted by the heating crystal!

"The dial for heating should be changed from three to five. That would make it easier to control the heat."

"I can manage that," Orin stated. While the two talked, Michael stared at them,

"Can you two act more surprised that we almost died."

"It's not surprising."

"Not dying?!"

"No. The oven exploded. It was an error."

"Yeah. When you invent something, you have to have some expectation it will fail too."

Keith turned to Orin, "It's back to the drawing board."

Orin nodded. The two of them understood what they had to do. Since it failed, it was time to improve.

"But the real problem is the mana wires," Orin stated.

"Hmm? Why?"

"Because you can't really increase the output the wires can take. No one has achieved this. The only way is to add more wires onto the top. But that would make it clunky."

"Hmm?" Keith thought,

"Orin, can I get some of the mana wire to test with it?"

"Sure, Kid. Take some. Make a better model for me. Also, here's the design I used on the wires. I will go find the metal now."

"Gotcha." There was no need to worry about it now. Like that, the two had a goal to work on.

"So we won't have bread?" Fira tilted her head. Keith patted her,

"Sorry. But not right now."

"..." Four people died from his words.

...

When Keith returned home, Keith scrapped the design on the first one. May was shocked, "Young Master, are you not using the first one ever again?"

"I was. But I changed my mind. I'm going to restart fresh." There was a design flaw with that oven. I need to distribute the heating crystals. The first design had all the heating crystals at the center.

It probably exploded because there was too much in one place. I should spread it out instead. Four rows of crystals were lined up instead. That way, the heating would be spread out.

Add them to the sides as well. Keith decided the design should have the heating crystals around the sides except for the front where the glass was.

Fira looked over Keith's shoulder, "Keith, why are there two?" She noticed the design had two different hatches. Keith smiled,

"That's because it has the function of baking two things."

"Two!" May and Fira screamed out.

"Mmhmm. You can bake cookies while baking bread at the same time." It would be easier and more efficient to bake the two.

"Two," But they didn't listen to his words. They were in awe about baking two things at the same time.

"And I need to take a look at this." Keith stared down at the mana wire. It was used to send magic around and was a staple to make magic tools.

They look like copper wires. It seemed the same. But he could tell they were different. It was silver instead.

Inject mana into it. When Keith did that, the wire started to glow.

"Hmm? He said to touch it to the heating crystal." It needed small contact with the crystal to send mana. Keith tested it out. And like that, the heating mechanism worked!

Let me see the problem. Keith poured more mana into it. When he did,

Pop! The wife popped!

Hmm, what should I do? Keith thought about it. What he needed to do was to strengthen the wire. Orin said before that it was an impossible job.

What if I twirl a few of them together? In his past life, twirling and braiding wires made it sturdier than the three side by side. Will it work? Keith wondered as he stared at it.

It wouldn't hurt to try. Keith twirled the mana wires and pulled them to make them tighter and stricter.

Now, to try. Keith injected mana into the wire again. And when he did that, his expression brightened! It works! The mana he injected into the heating crystal was much stronger and sturdier!

"Eruka!" Keith screamed! He looked at May and the three,

"Guys, we're returning to Orin's shop!"

It didn't even take an hour after the explosion as he returned.

"Orin!"

"You're back so soon?!" Orin was surprised.

"I have a new design! Also, I have a way to increase the mana too!"

"Really?" Orin blinked a few times. Keith nodded,

"Check out the new design." Keith showed him the two new designs. Orin was intrigued, "You made a second oven under it?"

"Mmhmm, that way, we can cook more. Also, I was thinking of another design where we extend the oven into a longer rectangular shape." Keith had an idea.

"These are interesting. But none of this will happen unless we solve the mana issue." The problem with the mana wire was the main issue.

"Check this out!" Keith took out the wire.

"You twirled three mana wires together?" Orin frowned.

"Try putting mana into it." Keith smiled. Orin nodded as he did it, his eyes blinking a few times. But a thought came to his mind,

"Take out the other wires."

"Here." Keith handed it to them.

Orin started to send mana into it. He did two together, then three together. He kept sending it straight until the sixth wire!

"My god." Orin sat down on his chair. He turned to Michael, "We need to go to the estate,"

"Huh? Why?"

"Why?"

"BECAUSE THE KID HAD REVOLUTIONIZED THE GODDAMN WORLD!"

"Huh?!" Keith and Michael tilted their heads when they heard that.
