【Script】 　First,/ life must arise from a sterile sea,/ spread ashore,/ make forests out of stony wastes,/ then die and be buried without oxygen/ by its successors.// In several million years,/ the planet's pressure/ primes a valuable brew.// Advanced nations will fight/ to build big drills/ which delve deep wells to reach it.// This risks blasts,/ and sometimes will unleash poison/ upon a land that dared disturbed the dead.// 　Once extracted,/ the crude oil is many times refined:/ fired at precise temperatures/ that would make an alchemist proud.// Facilities can cover 6,000,000m2,/ six times the area/ of the Tokyo Imperial Palace grounds.// This nectar for machines/ is moved on massive metal hulks/ through canals/ which connect the world by cutting continents apart.// 　The cargo/ is then fed into other machines,/ towering engines working / with the speed of thousands of hands/ and the striking power of the storm.// It is mixed in boiling vats/ with recipes no less secret than a witch's brew.*// This mix is moulded/ in the jaws of one more metal beast.// A spring is next affixed,/ which had been made to cheat decay/ from steel and nickel/ (the metal named after the devil, Old Nick).// The finished artifact is stainless.// 　Orders are flashed through ocean depths/ to fibre-optic, glass-tethered continents.// What was black gold/ can thus be sold/ in packages of ten.// Guided by artificial shooting-stars,/ the plastic clothes peg is delivered/ to its owner's door.// No human mind can fully comprehend/ how it was made.// After global investment/ beyond all tabulation,/ it costs 30 yen.// -------------------------------------------------- 毎週土曜18時に翌週分の原稿を更新！ プロフィール欄の「ダウンロードセンター」からご覧いただけます。下へスクロールし、日時・レベル別にお選びください。 ☆予習動画公開スケジュール☆ 毎週金曜日：PR Beg / PR Eiken 毎週土曜日：PR1 / PR2
