In the morning of the next day, Einar woke up from his bed and kissed his two wives goodbye. Before leaving the room, he looked curiously at the leather bag with the clothes he had not used yesterday.
'It's a shame the two of them have passed out because of yesterday, but it doesn't matter, we always have time to experiment.'
After this, he left and went to the bathroom because he had to take a shower because he felt quite dirty from the sweat and other liquids that he had on his body.
Upon reaching the hot springs, he met his father, who had some difficulty walking. The two saw each other for a few seconds before starting to laugh.
Since the two understood each other's feelings, after cleansing their bodies, they entered the relaxing hot springs.
"It is quite comfortable to be in this hot water, don't you think, father?"
Sven who had a wet towel covering his eyes just smiled and blew out a little air.
"Every day it's always a pleasure to enjoy the warm water that the earth has to offer, but you know, I feel like I enjoy the morning sun more.
In our ancestral land, it was normal that the sun could not give us enough light due to the place where we were, fortunately on this island it is possible to have pleasant temperatures during the summer.
I wish there was a way that we could harness all the power of the sun, perhaps use it to our advantage. "
Einar who had his eyes closed frowned as he placed his hand on his chin.
"In theory, it should be possible to harness the power of the sun, but we don't have enough materials or the technology to make solar panels.
More, however, I think we can use the sun to boil water...
Although I can boil water, it could also be used for cooking, in theory, if I will use a silver-coated metal bowl that could reflect enough light.
I could make a solar stove which could be used in our boats but more importantly, in the kitchen of all the members of the tribe.
With it, we could reduce our dependence on wood while our population begins to grow exponentially.
Although, it could only be used during cloudy days, long winter nights, and more importantly after a volcanic eruption due to the ash from the sky. "
Sven, who was already used to hearing strange terms in Einar's mouth, completely ignored the word of the solar panel and put all his attention on the solar stove.
Well, I did not believe that it could be possible to use sunlight to cook food or water.
"Tell me more about that solar stove, Einar, I'm curious how it works."
Einar opened his eyes and pointed to the sun, which had been rising since dawn.
"To understand how sunlight can be used, the main thing is to know that it is a source of heat and energy.
So all you have to do is find a way to convert the energy it produces into one that we can use.
Using the steel plate coated with silver, a magnifying glass effect will be created with which the sun's rays will be reflected towards a specific surface.
Where there should be some metal supports that will serve to place the pots or pans with which it will be cooked.
You just have to be careful not to place your hands incorrectly, as the magnifying glass effect is so powerful that it could cause burns on the skin almost immediately.
But, I can assure you that you can make all the food you want while there is the sun. "
Sven used his hands to wet his face and looked at Einar impatiently.
"I hope you can show me one of those solar cookers because I want to see one work, I'm sure you can get it.
But for the moment I have to get out of the hot springs because if I stay longer your mother and Juni might be upset since I promised to spend the mornings with them. "
After saying those words Sven got up and prepared to leave, while Einar was left thinking about the correct way in which he should create the metal plate.
Because it had to have a correct curvature if you wanted it to reflect light at only one point.
'I guess I'll have to do a few formulas while playing with the geometric figures to get a correct angle for the solar stove.'
After thinking this, Einar got up from the hot water and went to his towel as he still had to make breakfast for his wives.
Which had to be high in carbohydrates and vitamins, due to the exercise they did yesterday and the pregnancy they were experiencing.
Later in the morning while he was making breakfast he noticed that the little children who were playing before class started were looking up at the sky with smiles before they started running chasing each other.
With a smile and feeling the paternal instinct, he realized that he could do something to make them happier.
"Aila, I would like you to bring me some paper, scissors, pine resin, wooden sticks, and the thinnest rope you can find.
Today I will create a small invention so that children can be playing without worrying about hurting themselves because it is a game that uses only a thin rope and air. "
Aila, who was curious about what Einar wanted to do, stopped doing what she was doing to go and get the materials that he had asked for.
After preparing breakfast, Einar waited a while until he could hear his two wives entering the kitchen.
Kassia and Helmi looked at him with smiles on their faces.
"Maybe we should be less crazy at night, I still feel tremors in my legs."
Kassia said as she caressed her hip and got ready to sit on the table, Helmi, who was next to her, patted her shoulder.
"You are a bit of an exaggeration Kassia, look at me, not even I who fainted three times am complaining."
Kassia just scowled at her and gave her a loving spanking. "Yes, Helmi, but you are younger than me. Besides, you enjoy pain, so you shouldn't have problems like me."
Helmi just started laughing while rubbing her buttocks before sitting down "You too in the future are going to have the same mornings like me, it's just a matter of adjusting and enjoying the pain.
It can be difficult at the beginning, but with Einar being our guide we will not suffer any pain. "
Einar, seeing the discussion of his two wives, stretched his hands and caressed their cheeks.
"You don't have to argue about things that don't make sense, each of you is special, so it's normal for your bodies to be different.
Now, how about eating a little, because our children need nutrients. "
The two women nodded and without wasting time began to eat breakfast. While they were having breakfast, Aila was with Ibssen picking up some wooden sticks that could be used.
"Aila, are you sure you need these wooden sticks, didn't Einar tell you any special measure or shape?"
Aila shook her head as she took the sticks and small pieces of wood that were on the floor.
"Unfortunately, he only told me wooden sticks and except for the materials that I already asked you for, I have no idea what he is going to do.
But from what I could hear, it will make a kind of toy for the children. "
Ibssen, who was listening, already had all the materials Aila needed ready.
"I just hope that he will show us the result when he is done doing it since I have doubts about what that toy he wants to make will look like."
After this Aila finished collecting the wooden sticks which she kept in a box that also had the materials that Ibssen had prepared for her.
"Don't worry Ibssen, I'll take care of informing you when I'm done, but you know that Einar always shows us his crazy inventions, anyway."
When she finished speaking, Aila said goodbye to Ibssen and began to walk back to the great hall, knowing that she should not be late.
As she walked through the streets of the tribe and watched as everyone worked hard to rebuild or build whatever the village needed.
She felt a feeling of warmth because she already felt part of what was happening in the tribe. Even in the monastery, she did not feel so comfortable.
This is mainly because everyone in the town respected her despite being a slave, because of the closeness she had with Einar, and the fact that she was a teacher of orphaned children.
While in the monastery where she lived she was just one more, she had to live her life in a monotonous way following in the footsteps of those who presided over it.
When she got to the great hall, she gave the children a smile and told them that they will get ready for classes, because Papa Einar might have a surprise for them in the afternoon.
All the children at that moment shouted with joy because they knew that Papa Einar's surprises were spectacular since they would allow them to play or discover new things that they never imagined.
Upon entering the kitchen, Aila proudly showed the box she was carrying with all the materials she had asked for.
Einar, seeing those materials, clenched his fists impatiently as he was about to create the first kite of the tribe.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
