"Sorry, Luna. Did I make you wait?

"Yeah, I'm fine. You're on time."

Me and Luna interact like a meeting couple.

But I'm not dating Luna, and the content I'm about to interact with is not a thing of color.

In the ground corner of the headquarters of the Knights of the New and Pure Maiden is the second laboratory, which focuses on the development and research of large weapons.

The head of this second laboratory was Enor, Kingdom of High Elves, and Luna Enor Memere, Third Princess.

Today, the research I was asking her to do yielded certain results, so I came to check its contents.

"So which are the results of the research?

The second laboratory is as large as a gymnasium because of the development and research of large weapons, but because large weapons and fine objects are also placed for that matter, "which is the result of the research" is hard to see at a glance.

Luna in white, flickering her hands, calling out as if she was frightened.

"Lew and I are just a little calm. Because the research results will not escape, and I will explain them in proper order. Most of the paperwork you submit is in your eyes, isn't it?

"I naturally look through the paperwork, but I was a little overexcited to think I could see the real thing, sorry"

When I honestly apologized, Luna shrugged her shoulder when she said, 'Oh man, a man is a child no matter how long he stands'.

I reflect on that attitude before.

(You were in a little too much of a hurry... But I'm trying to combine modern weapons and magic to create a whole new technology. I can only get a little excited...)

When I develop modern weapons in this other world, I have made up for the missing parts with magic, magic tools, demon stones, etc.

As a result, he has made up for the missing parts and developed "Modern Weapons in Previous Life, on Earth".

But this time, we're going to combine this unique technology called 'magic' with 'modern weapons' to develop a whole new technology.

It is rude not to be excited to be in a historic place where the two worlds and technologies meet.

- Well, something epic says, 'Two worlds and technology are ~', but research has just begun, and now it's still at the basic research level.

Then I'll explain it in turn. Follow me.

Copy that, please.

Luna, with her sleeves through her white coat, walks out towards the second institute with both hands in her pocket.

I followed her.

"" Heat Treatment "put out by Lewton -" Can't you magically treat and cool the heat when you keep firing firearms? 'It's a challenge,' but first Luna experimented with whether she could physically withstand the heat by making a gun out of a material she made by instilling magic to a limit that wouldn't be brittle to 'magic liquid metal'... "

Magic liquid metal is a fundamental ingredient in building firearms and weapons in this different world.

Pouring magic was a magical liquid metal that was thought to become stronger the more it was poured, but with properties that became brittle as soon as it crossed certain or more magic powers.

This time, Luna seems to have made the material physically tolerable by strengthening it to its limits as a 'heat treatment method'.

"Results alone have failed"

[Gun and Shooting Journal Gun 2009 12P92 ~]

Luna stops her leg.

Ahead of her, she was in a desk space where she would write and other things, and a plainly damaged revolver was placed on that corner.

The barrel is beautifully broken.

Tight to the fine fragments, they were collected.

"Is that good for your hand?

"Fine."

Luna gives permission in light condition.

I compare the broken barrel with the body in my hand.

"... you're completely broken. It feels brittle and broken, rather than screwed off by force."

"It's 'thermal fatigue', as Lew and I expected. Immediately after the shooting, I soaked it in water, cooled it down and fired it - and I repeatedly broke it when I exceeded certain limits. You can't escape thermal fatigue with magic liquid metals that put their magic to its limits."

Luna tells in a subtly impressed voice.

By the way, 'thermal fatigue' is a phenomenon - a phenomenon that becomes very brittle when the heated metal is immediately cooled repeatedly.

In my previous life, I read about magazines or the internet during the Japanese era... even ordinary people could shoot guns. On a shooting tour, customers were firing revolvers, as usual.

The store was thriving and there was always not enough revolvers for customers.

There is something about the weakness of the revolver: 'Depending on the hot weather and place if you keep firing continuously, the hotter the level you stop touching your bare hands'.

For automatic, the drugpod is automatically ejected outside, but remains in the cylinder for revolvers.

Because its remaining empty drugpods have heat, the heat gradually spreads throughout the firearm - a phenomenon.

The thriving shop used hot revolvers soaked in water or chilled in wet towels to solve the problem.

But at one point, when you tried to service it, you said that the barrel broke flat.

It caused 'heat fatigue' because it cooled the hot revolver immediately.

This time Luna is using "revolver" for experimental firearms because of its weaknesses and easy results.

I put the revolver back on my desk and blur.

"Regardless of the normal metal, couldn't even magical liquid metal with magic power escape the phenomenon..."

Luna urges:

"Look at the desk next door. Next I tried" Coating Metal with Magic to Enhance It Even More, "but I knew I couldn't."

The next desk had a revolver with a broken barrel, just like earlier.

I get permission again, I take it.

"This one's broken beautifully, too. But you were sturdy compared to no coating, weren't you?

"Naturally it is... too much hassle and cost in proportion. Maybe if I did more research, I wouldn't recommend it as a Luna."

As for Luna, who actually did the coating, she seems to feel that there is not much to gain from studying this technique.

I would continue my research if I gave directions, but I'm not very motivated.

The last is the version that Luna reported in the document that 'certain achievements have been made'.

She starts moving out of her desk again.

Get to where you want to be right away.

Luna explains as she peppers and taps a rectangular table that is about the size of an M998A1 Hanvey (pseudo).

"I gave up on how to enhance the material with magic and witchcraft, and next I decided to combine the magic letters with the demonic stones to remove the 'heat' itself. Naturally, without damaging the material. As the paperwork says, I think it was a success there."

"The firearm you're using isn't a revolver, is it a Browning M2?

I circle around the presented research products.

It was a machine gun (machine gun) that was adopted by the U.S. Army in 1933 and has been in active use for more than 80 years since it was born too well.

Centered around its M2, the surroundings were covered by wood- and stone assembled enclosures.

Naturally, I didn't do anything to cover the launch openings with walls.

Regardless of the outside of the stone, the inside is staggered with magical lettering, and the walls are lined with multiple demonic stones in parallel.

Apparently, the magic of this demonic stone is used to treat the heat generated when fired.

"That's right. I also incorporated a magic tool that handles' heat ', and I asked Mae to help me dig magic letters to make it as lightweight and simplified as possible... but this is the limit no matter how hard I try at the moment."

"If I think of it as a defensive weapon, is there a problem even if it's as big as this..."

"We have to think about moving. But if you keep replacing demon stones compared to regular M2, you can remove heat, so it's convenient, right?

'It's just...' Luna said boastfully until earlier, but sighs lightly.

"I wanted to hold you to the size that Hanvey could put you on, if you say the ideal. Even with Mayer's help, it's so much harder to be small at the moment... After that, I can treat the heat, but that's all. The wear and tear of the barrel and body, ammunition exchanges and firing inconveniences have not all been solved."

Maya is called "Princess Demon Stone" in this other world, and the more respected she is, she is a professional when it comes to handling demon stones.

More miniaturization would be difficult at this stage than that she carved out the magic letters.

"Luna, you don't have to drop your shoulders. Instead, I think I've shaped it a lot for a short time."

"That's right..."

I compliment Luna on letting go, but she looks like a researcher who says' I'm not convinced yet '.

"Hey, Lew. You can still go on with this research, right? I knew I wanted to be able to make more effective use of it as a Luna..."

"Of course. There are other studies I'd like to request, themes, but this' heat treatment 'is good for application, so if you want to study it, I'd like to ask for it here."

If this research tied itself together, I could keep shooting the M2 all the time while running on Hanvey without worrying about changing the barrel or anything like that.

It is also likely that it can be applied to other multi-legged tank main guns, airships' Noah ', 8.8 cm anti-aircraft guns (8.8 Flak), etc.

It can therefore be considered a very important research topic.

If Luna wants to study it, she wants you to do it.

Having heard my reply, Luna smiles and thanks a beautiful girl who is not even under her feet, such as Japanese Idol in her previous life.

"Thanks, Lewton! Luna, good luck researching this subject! So good luck with Lew and get the budget you need from Bani."

"Oh, man, I got it!

Before I allowed it, the roots of my tongue could not be refused without drying, and I replied, retreating.

I didn't know you had to come from Bernie Bloomfield, a three-eyed accountant for PEACEMAKER (Peace Maker) accounting......

Imagine now that your expression gets darker and your stomach area starts to ache.

Luna, on the other hand, was in the opposite mood from me and sang her nose, while she was now studying the theme of "Heat Treatment".
