The next step is to investigate Mega Hydra.
... I went inside and did a rough investigation.
Because it is quite large, it takes time to look at the inside widely and carefully, so I made sure to check it all by visual inspection.
Of course, I checked everything that bothered me.
This "Mecha Hydra" is more than 100 meters in width and length, not just the part that can be recognized as the torso.
The length of the body is more than 300 meters since the tail and head are added.
There is a small palace on the back, so I think it is over a hundred meters tall.
Some of these were thought to be operation manuals and maintenance logs.
I saw them first.
I decided to summarize what I learned from it and the appearance characteristics.
"Mecha Hydra" has the official "name" as "Pilot Golem Magic Machine (Magi) Hydra Palace".
A golden metallic body, but some of Hydra's fleshy parts remain.
It must have been mechanized based on Hydra's carcass.
The original Hydra color is loess, so it blends into gold and there is no significant discomfort.
The golden body uses the magical metal "Orihalcon".
Even though it is golden, it is actually bright gold or white gold.
It looks ordinary golden from a distance, but it looks white when approached.
It emits a unique light.
Orihalcon appears to be a hard and light metal that makes it very easy to pass through magic.
And even though it's hard, it's easy to process itself, so I guess it was chosen as a material.
Nevertheless, Orihalcon is supposed to be a rare magical metal, but I think it's loaded with a lot of material.
It can also be seen from the materials that it was developed as an important weapon.
Could it be a one-of-a-kind weapon of war, made with a huge budget?
The small palace-shaped part on the back is probably Palace.
Palace has a hierarchical structure.
A magic cannon is installed in the palace like a pedestal.
Four gates are installed one at a time, front, back, left and right.
On top of that is a hangar, like a launch gate.
I think we can store and launch the "Floating Battleship Mini Tomato Refurbishment" made by "Dwarf" Mine-chan here.
There are various rooms on the upper level.
It's like a conference room, a private room, a dining room, a pantry.
This versatile space continues on many levels.
It might have been envisaged to operate with a lot of crews on board, like a battleship.
The top part of the palace... the spire has a cockpit, and it's like a battle bridge.
You could call it a bridge.
Under the palace pedestal, there is a "magic furnace" on the back of the "Hydra" body and on the belly.
It still seems to be consuming "Magic Core" to generate operational energy.
Next to the Magic Furnace, there is still a "Magic Core" reservoir, which is automatically supplied to the Magic Furnace.
It is a fairly large storage tank, but about 90% is buried.
I wonder if the "Magic Core" here alone... would be hundreds of millions of Golls if it were redeemed.
It could be more than a billion.
Well, I'm not going to cash it out.
Nevertheless, I wonder how long it can run after consuming this much "Magic Core"....?
Maybe... I wonder if it's going to be so fuel-efficient.
With that in mind, I looked for information in the manual.
However, it was not clearly written.
However, since there are subsystems that store magic like magic batteries, there is no doubt that the fuel consumption of the "magic core" is poor.
The magic filler incorporated as a subsystem is something that people can use to store magic and make it work.
If there were many crew members, they would be able to save a lot if all of them worked together to spread their magic little by little every day.
The magic filling device is made of "Orihalcon".
It also seems to be a device that takes advantage of the properties of "Orihalcon".
I thought... if I filled my spare magic every day, I wouldn't have to consume the Magic Core to get it up and running...
I wish I could use this technology to make a full-scale magic battery.
Not as much as I do, but my friends have more magic left.
If you think about it carefully... Mine, the genius of Dwarf, has already developed magical tools to store the magic of Orihalcon.
The magic bath "Magic Bath Multi-Blue Cloth" also has the ability to store magic.
The Magic Cloak The Magic Cloak The Noble Cloak (Nobless Man), which is the exclusive equipment of the Dukes of Euphemia The Noble Knights, also has the same specification, so you can store magic.
Using that technology to develop a full-scale magic battery that can be set up and used in "Mecha Hydra", it looks like it could really be put into operation without consuming "Magic Core".
I'll talk to Mine-chan about the idea later.
There is also a hangar on the left and right sides, and the door is open for entry and exit.
Nine necks, five of which appear to be the original neck of Hydra.
It is partially mechanized while retaining the flesh of Hydra.
The remaining four necks are the necks of a retrofitted machine.
When it comes to machines, it feels subtly different from the machines and science fiction machines that I know in the original world.
Although it feels similar, I think the fundamental technology is magic or magical.
The impression is that magical tools and materials are combined.
The Hydra necks of the four machines can fly separately and attack separately.
From reading the manuals and other materials, it turns out that the magical AI can either automatically attack or people can get in and pilot it.
Somehow... I think I can operate like a fighter plane.
When it is connected to the main unit, it is filled with magic, and it seems to operate with energy.
The Hydra necks of the four machines were retrieved by Naby in "Wave Storage," but we plan to restore them to their original state.
"Mecha Hydra" has four short and thick feet, and it can walk, but it seems like it can also float and move like "Petty Dust No. 28".
It is small compared to the size of the body, but it also has wings.
Unlike the living Hydra, the wings do not appear to be for flight.
The principle of flight is probably due to a magical mechanism, like the "Vetzmin 28."
The wings seem to separate and act as a movement shield.
The original Hydra has large wings that allow it to fly through the sky.
It has four short, fat feet and one tail, but it is also said that there are multiple necks and that the size of the neck is a sign of strength.
The "Hydra" I knew in the game of the world I was in was often called a multi-headed snake, and there were many cases where there were no legs or wings.
The Hydra in this world seems to be closer to the Dragon.
It is only called a sub dragon.
