Tank.

Even those who are not interested in the military will know about the form 'tanks' are in and what they are.

So what exactly is' tank '?

To define it very simply - a land warfare weapon with a caterpillar on it, covered in armor and equipped with powerful artillery.

Land warfare is the battle that takes place on land, that is, on earth.

Tanks are called 'Land Warfare Weapons' because they are used in that land war.

Return to the story.

So why was a weapon called a tank born?

Tanks first appeared during World War I.

A large number of new weapons were created during World War I.

Among them, a typical weapon that has changed the form of war is a machine gun (machine gun).

Machine guns (machine guns) are brought into war, and just assaults increase the number of dead. So I started digging holes and trying to get close, and making night raids.

It's called trench warfare.

Still, machine guns are causing more deaths.

It was' tanks' that were born to reduce that death and break the war situation.

In other words, the original role of "tanks" was not to use machine guns (machine guns) or artillery as objects, but to break through iron bars and trenches.

At that time, before the advent of "tanks," armoured cars were put into service with armor affixed to cars in various countries.

On wheels, however, travel on the battlefield was highly challenging, and they never meant 'running around the battlefield endlessly'.

So England put in action a tank, 'Mark I', an alternative to conventional armoured vehicles.

Because the shape of "Mark I" is rhomboidal, it is also called "rhomboidal tank" in Japan.

The name tank, but not at all like the commonly imagined 'tank'.

The cannon (or machine gun) protrudes from the left and right beside the body, and the caterpillar circles the body and proceeds at about 5 km/h. They didn't have suspension or anything on them, so the ride sucked.

Honestly, from those who know modern tanks, they look terribly shoddy.

But it was a complete new weapon at the time.

The first time such a new weapon was put on the battlefield was in the French district of Sonm in September 1916.

'Mark I', which was put into the French district of Sonm, had many malfunctions and was unreliable.

But when they were actually put into battle, the German soldiers in the trenches were stunned by the appearance of "Mark I."

He panicked.

Because of its constant effect, the UK undertook research & improvements to make 'Mark I' a more usable weapon.

And it's finished with Mark IV.

In 1917, in the Battle of Cambray in November, England puts in hundreds of 'Mark IV', with certain results.

Afterwards, the neighbouring countries said, 'Don't be late for England!' and embarked on all the tank development.

Explain this far. I can tell that 'Tank' was born from England.

The origin of the name 'Tank', the source of the story, was also called 'Tank' at the time to prevent Britain from being known to the enemy countries.

The tank that was transported to the battlefield was called 'Tank' and disguised as' This is a vessel for putting water into the Russian side '.

Today, they call tanks' tanks' because they are said to be coming from here.

It's just that the British tank 'Mark I' is too far apart in shape from modern tanks.

It was from France that the shape, which can also be called the roots of modern tanks, was born.

At the end of World War I, France developed a small tank for two.

The tank was equipped with a swirling turret at the top of the body, in the form of a modern tank with a caterpillar on both sides.

Due to the limited French production capacity at the time, it was too burdensome to manufacture tank types developed by the United Kingdom.

Types like 'Mark I' were heavy weight and slow.

So France embarks on a small tank development that even automakers can make.

If it is small, it has the advantage that it can be manufactured and deployed in large quantities because it can be lightweight and increase manoeuvre, saving resources.

It is the exact opposite of the idea of British tanks (land warships).

And it was developed by Renault FT.

A revolutionary tank with a swivel turret and a caterpillar on both sides - "Renault FT" - has been around the world since the tank was developed to serve as an example.

The technology, the idea, is also handed down in modern times.

I was trying to bring such a chariot to life in this other world.

However, there are too many problems manufacturing tanks in this magical world.

As a typical problem, it is weight.

120 mm sliding cavity cannon, armor, shell etc - and build up the weight, it becomes a weight that cannot be moved at all on engines as high as Hanvey's.

Nevertheless, if you allow them to float and move with demonic stones, like the airship Noah, they will not absorb the recoil of the firing and the hitting rate will be devastating.

The next idea is to float a little with demon stones and run the engine loaded - but calculating the demon stones needed to run the engine to float the main body will require about one space for one school classroom. Vertical, horizontal too wide for anything practical.

Honestly, we exchanged opinions with Luna and Maya, but as things stand, we were reaching the conclusion that it is difficult to manufacture tanks.

Tank development was postponed for the time being and was likely to be postponed indefinitely...... discover technologies that are likely to materialize in unexpected ways.

An Adventurer's Good Offices Union (Alliance) festival called the Legion Grand Festival.

The purpose of the festival is to make ordinary people aware of which regiments (Legions) exist.

The day before that festival.

I was given a tour of the dragon race, mage class B, an army of Lizrina Eyfans (Legion), and gems and coal (Gem & Cole), who speak loudly of Maya's self-proclaimed rivals.

I wasn't very interested in mineral resources or anything, but I nail it to the golem she specializes in researching.

"Mining Golem Type 3" and "Transport Spider You".

Especially nailed to 'hauling spider you'.

"Carriage Spider, you" can carry about ten tons of earth and stone all in one piece.

With this' hauling spider you ', it is possible that we could even produce a multi-legged tank that was only a dream on Earth in the last life.

Bring Rizzlina, the developer of such a 'hauling spider you', to the large laboratory of the Knights of the New and Pure Maidens in me, Maya and Luna.

Large weapons such as 8.8 cm anti-aircraft guns, 120 mm synovial guns, and M998 A1 Hanvey (simulated) have been placed and studied in large laboratories.

Yesterday, Lizrina, who was brought to the office, wore an anti-magic collar around her neck, her hands in wooden plank handcuffs, a piercing jacket with iron balls attached to her right foot with bare feet.

Why did you dress like that, because you lost on a bet to PEACEMAKER (Peacemaker), you took responsibility for selling the fight and were forced to look like that in a showy way.

Exactly, it's not good to be dressed like that, so I'm currently in a dragon dress of dragon racial tradition.

She steps into a large laboratory and sees 8.8 cm anti-aircraft guns, 120 mm slip cannons, and M998 A1 Hanvey (pseudo) in the researcher's face like eating in.

... Think about it, this is the first time an outsider has entered the lab.

"Ko, this is... I don't know what to say, anyway, 'Wow!' That's all I can describe. I just have to be stunned. Just like Maya Dragoon said before. I can understand the meaning of" even pushing clouds through the mountains, and competing over which sand mountain is bigger. "

Explain to her the big weapon.

Listening to the whole story, she divulges her thoughts with a trembling voice.

I ask her about multi-legged tank development, the developer of "The Transporting Spider."

"I don't know about that. Looks like you could move a 120-mm sliding cannon on" Carriage Spider You "?

"Uh-huh... Honestly, it could be hard as it stands"

"But it's not impossible, is it?

"It's not impossible, but we can't reach the level that the brave man wants."

She said that if you put 120mm sliding chamber cannons, shells, armor, etc. on it, you're at a level where you're forced to move with Notanota?

They still don't have enough output, enough power.

"We need to figure out a way to load the shells after they're fired, but if we do it manually, we don't have enough room for people. I didn't think about putting people on and moving around, so I think the vibrations swinging up and down are terrible. Besides, when you fire, you're very reactionary, aren't you? If you're the" hauling spider, "there's a good chance that you won't be able to withstand the impact and get into the main unit itself. Then I might have to study the material itself first. After that, it's a fuel consumption issue. It eats magic just to move, and I think it consumes a lot just to withstand recoil when fired."

I get a tough opinion from the "hauling spider you" developer.

But from what I've heard, the problem can be improved enough.

Rather, it's much more realistic than building a tank with a Hanvey (pseudo) engine.

"I think the basic problem is fuel consumption, power and material durability, can't we increase the stone usage of the Giants from the current 30%?

The stone that builds the Titan's body is an unknown object that has not yet been elucidated in this world either.

The current "hauling spider you" uses 30% of such giant stone and cites output more than traditionally. It's even more fuel efficient.

If we use such stone from 30%, 50%, 60% - and ultimately 10%, wouldn't that almost solve the problem?

Rizzlina shrugs her shoulders at this suggestion of mine.

"That would solve the majority of the problem if we increased it, but something for which there is no research material. Giants rarely get stones."

Even if it comes in further, quantities must be used for research. We really have to experiment and see if there will be more output.

So you really think the research will only go a little further?

"We'll get that stone ready for you. So instead of eliminating the punishment of losing at the Legion Grand Festival, I want you to help me. We need Rizzlina!

"!? That's a confession!?

"... Master Lute?

Lizzrina turns bright red and wolves, and Maya turns to a frigid gaze mixed with killing.

Sorry, I'm sorry about that one.

Notice and correct your own rudeness.

"I'm sorry, I didn't get enough words. Lizzrina's power is needed by PEACEMAKER. I want you to help me develop my tank."

To my corrected words, Rizzlina, who turned bright red and then left, coughs up and gets her place ready to live.

"Well, I see. I see what the brave man is trying to say. But let me just correct one thing! Legion Grand Festival battle, but the terrorists broke into our regiment on the way out! If only the terrorists hadn't come, we would have won by an overwhelming margin!

No, that won't be possible.

Rather, where does such confidence come from?

The statement smells completely trivial.

"What a shameless statement! Didn't you lose by an overwhelming difference, regardless of the terrorists!

"So! Without that terrorist, we would have won gems and coal! Maya Dragoon! You were only helped by terrorists! On the contrary, thank the terrorists!

Two dragon race beauties begin to speak up in front of each other.

As Maya pointed out, the defeat of the Lislinas was definitive regardless of the terrorists.

But she won't admit it.

If the terrorists say the battle is null and void, I'm subtly convinced. The tea came in for sure.

Personally - Lizrina is already in front of the crowd, wearing an anti-magic collar around her neck, her hands chained with handcuffs on wooden plates, iron balls on her right leg with bare feet, exposing herself to piercing clothes.

It's punishment enough, so I don't care if I don't have a dugout now.

"In the meantime, will you leave the dugouts alone and cooperate?

"Yeah, I don't mind. Something I can't refuse if a brave man asks me to do what I really need, what I absolutely need, whatever it takes! There's only one way I can help you!

Lizrina turns from Maya to me and assures me with a confident look.

My good face subtly pisses me off, but it's all for a multi-legged tank.

Horn to horn, and we succeed in attaching cooperation with Lizrina Eyfan.

Lizrina is not affiliated with PEACEMAKER (Peace Maker) and is asked to take up her position as an external advisor.

Next, he began joyfully preparing to head for a giant hunt to secure materials for multi-legged tank development.
