It's all one flower.

1215. Re-confirmation of purpose

"Foreigners don't know most of us don't have internet facilities in our country."

"Really?

Not only the four engineers, but also the demon-mounted soldier Rubel, were surprised by Ensign Razootchik's explanation.

Ensign of the Nemoralis Army Intelligence Department will have the tablet terminal display a map of the Alton Gaza continent and give preliminary knowledge to the Internet Line Blocking Unit formed for this operation.

"In the area of scientific civilization, Internet line networks are laid in most countries, including in two-wheeled countries, and the vast majority of the general public has the equipment to use them. For them, it's as popular as electricity and water."

"But it's just the big cities, right?

Weather forecaster [Flying Swallow] Faculty engineer Nayabri terribly confirms.

As Ensign Razootchik shook his head to the side, the four engineers breathed at the same time.

"There are many countries that make it across the territory, from large cities to small villages, from remote islands to the back of mountains"

"How?

"There are demons and warcraft elsewhere, right?

"Outside urban areas, electricity is self-generated by solar and wind, lines are satellite communications, and reception is a portable antenna. Communication speed drops dramatically, but installation costs are low, and demons and other obstructions are difficult."

Within the Republic of Nemoralis there are many areas where demons and warcraft habitats are abundant and where the spread of telephone lines is irresistible.

... my local area, even though there is nothing. In a foreign country, was it such a trick?

The village of Assaete, where Rubel was born and raised, is located in the mountains near the eastern end of the Ougari Mountains, which divides the island of Nemoralis to the north and south.

Internet, of course (of course), telephone lines, electricity, gas and water. The newspaper delivery also did not come to this village in the back of the mountain.

Still, we can live because all the villagers are powerful people.

"It's like a refugee camp in Amitostigma."

As Ensign nodded at Rubel's confirmation, the engineers swallowed the question with a complex look.

"The majority of communications are on the Internet, and the press makes great use of it. Even if our country gives out information in an old-fashioned way, in many countries it is buried by a wave of information that goes massively"

"Even if the extraordinary government had a press conference, no one would see...?

Engineer squad leader Wootra looks up.

"That's right. It's impossible for the world's masses to see only Artel's fake news and propaganda and assume it's true."

"So why is that..."

[Knitting reed cuts (Yoshikiri)] Faculty engineer Marlt loses his word.

"With the amount of information you disseminate, that's all you get to touch people. If you don't have any other information, you don't have to verify it, and even if you simply have more contact, it's more likely to lean in the direction you believe."

Ensign Razootchik replies pale.

The demon soldier Rubel was revived in his brain by the words General Al Jadi spoke in his dripping.

- My country has already been defeated in the intelligence war.

Artel hustled and told the world that the demon asthma cannon was a weaponized magic creature. United Nations inspections have also spread rumours that the findings are incorrect because officials in the pale rose forest conducted them. The story singles out the poor situation in the Ristover Autonomous Region and the unexplained fire, too, as it was the burning of the Fraxinus.

They are sending information in a common language to the masses of the Alton Gaza continent pretending to be ordinary people. Even rumors that sources are uncertain believe what people want to believe...

Looking around at the depressed crew, Ensign Razootchik changes his tone.

"The purpose of the mandate given to us is not the simple destruction of communications installations"

"It's about stopping Artel's intelligence work."

Engineer squad leader Wootra confirmed, the look on the engineers' faces tightened.

"That's right. To do this, we need to target places that take a long time to recover."

Ensign nodded contentedly and made the tablet terminal display a picture of a black object.

The bottom is thick and layered, thinner every time the layer rises one step, the top half is white and red copper, and the top is filamentous about the size of the hair.

"This is a sample of the cables that will be laid at the bottom of the sea or lake. The coating is peeled off so that it is easy to understand."

"This is..."

The engineers look at each other on the screen. The demon soldier Rubel looked sideways at the page name and made it appear on his own terminal, as well as to the engineers next door.

"In order to prevent damage caused by fish, warcraft, and fishing gear in shallow parts of the water depth, in addition to the [knitting reed cut (Yoshikiri)] school technique, the outer circumference is provided with multiple protections with iron, copper, and scientifically synthesized waterproof and water-resistant rugged fibers."

The black stuff is synthetic fiber and iron, the red copper part is really copper, it's the hair like the center part that's the optical fiber that passes through the information.

... a ton of information on such a thin object?

Recently, Rubel checked his position in [Sovereign] and [Scratch] conveyed his appearance to the rest of the crew, but now that he knows the contents and materials, his understanding progresses and the actions to be taken become clear.

"The cable is provided with a relay every certain segment, which amplifies the signal of the information and rapidly transmits long distances. The disconnect location shall be identified from the location of the relay near it and a ship dedicated to maintenance and management shall be dispatched"

"Now if you destroy more than one relay as well as disconnect the cable..."

"Right. Eat time to procure and work replacement parts"

When Ensign affirmed the grunt of engineer squad leader Utra, the [flying swallow] school engineer Nayabri tilted his neck.

"But after independence, Artel became a fully civilized nation of science, and he doesn't have a magic machine ship, does he?

"Dear Left, Maintenance ships are huge companies that expand around the world… telecom operators, cable manufacturing companies, etc. have local corporations in multiple countries in both rounds of the Hunan region, and hold them"

The screen turns into a map of the Hunan region, indicating the country where the lake bottom cable factory and the maintenance ship are located.

The conservative ships wait in the coastal kingdoms of Amitostigma, Galeandra and Macodes, each with a different affiliated company and cable to be maintained.

The Republic of Stenia and the inland kingdom of Polyquichnis had a plant of relays connecting the equipment and cables necessary for the maintenance of the cables.

"And this is the layout of the lake bottom cable."

Five foreheads gathered on the large screen of the notebook shown by Ensign Razootchik.
