Chapter 1031: Living library
Esmeralda suggested seeking assistance from members of her faction who specialized in plant cultivation. Rain agreed with the idea, recognizing the potential for collaboration to enhance plant growth without relying heavily on mana. The plan involved combining magical knowledge with the expertise of Esmeralda's faction to streamline the potion production process.
As they discussed the details of their plan, Rain considered the challenges of teaching a diverse group, including children, the intricacies of potion-making and plant cultivation. The focus was on creating a curriculum that empowered the community with the skills needed for sustainable resource production during their space journey.
"Three options should be fine for now," Esmeralda said. "We can work on more later, now we should develop their learning process with more detail."
Rain recalled the books that he read on school and Esmeralda recalled them as well, so they used them as examples to simplify and create the curriculum for those people. They didn't have five years to learn everything, but learning all that would increase their chances of succeeding on the mission, so they would learn faster out of necessity.
In the end, Rain proposed the idea of creating some large workshops for those places in order to make the people that stand out motivate each other and share their findings with the others. They also needed to think of ways to motivate people to stand out… reputation without clear rewards was mainly useless… but that was a matter for another time.
"You haven't been training that much lately, I know that you still use your weights, but I think that you might be getting rusty," Terra suddenly said when Esmeralda left the house.
"You think so?" Rain asked while looking at his hands. "Usually, I would feel worried about that too, but I am not this time. It must be because we are at war, but in a different sense."
"You were in a hurry before, but since you aren't now, it must mean that you are finally catching up with us, right?" Terra asked. "Maybe we should test that."

"You think so?" Rain asked. "I am not sure… if I use magic, maybe I am. We can spar daily in the morning like back in the day for a while. It is a pity that the others are busy with their own things and our kids don't live with us."
"Well, it would be weird if they did it," Terra said. "Let them have a more normal life when they finally have the chance without having to be with us all the time."
To Terra's surprise, Rain nodded in agreement without making much fuss or delving into a lengthy discussion about his children and their need for independence. She sensed that he had finally outgrown the overly protective dad phase.
Regardless of the changes, Rain didn't have much free time due to the ongoing responsibilities, but he dedicated one hour every morning to train in hand-to-hand combat with his wives.
This routine became a consistent part of their daily schedule, reminiscent of earlier times when the group focused on rigorous training to enhance their combat skills. The morning sparring sessions served as a way for Rain to stay in peak physical condition and test his abilities, especially after the recent developments and encounters.
Although he didn't show unreasonable levels of growth daily, he showed that his capacity to take damage increased considerably… even when Terra or Seara landed a good hit to break few bones, Rain used the fraction of a second of their satisfaction thanks to the good attack to knock them down with a good leg sweep or with a double palm strike aimed at their solar plexus.
It worked almost all the time.
The new changes in the routine made the days pass a bit faster and then the vessel began to approach Saturn around the twentieth cycle of the vessel. As one would expect, people looked quite surprised when they saw the massive rings of the planet.
When they approached, they felt even more weird when they learned that Saturn's rings werere composed primarily of water ice particles, along with smaller amounts of rocky material and other trace elements. The exact composition and size of the particles can vary, but water ice is the predominant component.
The ice particles in Saturn's rings range in size from tiny particles, similar to dust, to larger chunks several meters in diameter.
"No signs of mana again… but we will need a few days to check this whole thing, right?" Esmeralda asked. "Still, this planet is insanely huge… it looks like a real planet this time."
"Saturn is a gas giant, which means it is primarily composed of gases rather than solid materials. The outer layers of Saturn are mostly composed of hydrogen and helium, with traces of other elements and compounds. The exact composition of Saturn's atmosphere and interior is not entirely known, as it is difficult to study the planet's interior directly." Sakaki said.
"The visible surface of Saturn is actually a thick layer of gas, and as you go deeper into the planet, the pressure and temperature increase significantly. Scientists believe that, beneath the outer layer of gas, Saturn has a core composed of heavier elements, such as rock and metal, surrounded by layers of metallic hydrogen.
The metallic hydrogen layer is thought to be responsible for generating Saturn's strong magnetic field.
"You stored the whole wikipedia in your domain, as well, huh?" Rain asked.
