Let's Manage The Tower

(9) Communication terminal

Kaiseki looked at the magic equipment handed over by Dales, the head of the craft department, and leaned his neck.

"What is this?

"This is a portable communication device that has been under development for a long time."

Wow, I got it.

While staring seriously at the communication equipment handed over, Kaiseki nodded impressively.

"You made it a long time ago. I thought it would take a little longer than I expected. The development team seems to have worked very hard."

In my assessment, I thought it would take a little longer for development to come to an end.

The unexpected means that the development team worked harder than expected.

In the words of the examiner, Dareth shook his neck to the side with a bitter smile.

"I appreciate you saying that, but there was a reason for the development to proceed at once..."

Dulles, who somehow had a bad tooth cut, leaned his neck.

"What happened?

"Rather than something, who in this case should say,"

"... yeah."

He nodded with an unspeakable expression.

What the two of us are thinking about right now is what Luca looks like.

After graduating from school, Luca belonged to the development department with the advice of Schmidt and Dulles.

So Luca seemed to be showing some talent.

Those working in the development department saw Luca with tinted glasses at first, but quickly changed their attitude.

Luka, who received direct instruction from the examiners, was already capable of changing the color of his eyes for active researchers.

Dulles was worried about not floating around because he was young but strong, but there were a lot of strangers in the research field in the first place.

Neither blended in nor alienated, Luca has embarked on daily research.

In the meantime, Luka became involved in the communication equipment that he had been studying.

And because the research accelerated as a result, we were able to show things to the examiners in this way.

Kosuke, who thought Luka was working hard to become Luka, once again checked the communication equipment at hand.

The communication equipment is undoubtedly portable and of such size and weight that it can be used with one hand.

However, the system itself is completely different from the mobile phone known to the examiner, so the manufacturing was completely different.

The principle is completely different from the way sound is input and output in the first place.

It was only natural that this should happen.

The resemblance would be about an elongated shape.

I was seriously looking at the communication equipment, but I finally nodded satisfactorily.

"How dare you put it this big?"

Unfortunately, the communication equipment that Kaiseki now has is only able to talk to the person who has been decided from the beginning.

Around this area, communication is the same as communication using conventional magic, and communication is carried out by sensing the other party's magic.

The communication equipment itself does not have a number, such as a mobile phone, but registers the magic of the owner and uses it.

As a result, only a registered person can communicate with the other party.

Still, the more expensive and difficult communication equipment has ever been, the easier it is to use.

It was surprising for the examiner to fit that much function into the palm size.

If you think about it, it is surprising that small things have come out from the beginning, rather than making things the size of fixed telephones.

Dalles nodded at the words of the examiner, explaining the reason for this size.

"To be perfectly clear, they struggled the hardest to keep the enchantment down."

I bet you are.

"The addition of Luca led to the development of that part all at once."

Ah, I see.

I was completely convinced by Dahless's explanation.

In the first place, the foundation of the magic team taught by Kaiseki to Luka was to make it easier to create things that tend to become complicated.

Given that, it would have been easier for Luca to replace a magical formation with a small one.

Somehow, thinking of Luca, who was working hard on those tasks, the examiner had to laugh bitterly.

With regard to magic teams and magic equipment, I am aware that I am not qualified to think about people.

"Well, that's fine if you're developing it properly without worrying about your surroundings."

I know that Luka is not like anything happens around her, but it can change depending on the environment and the people around her.

I don't think Luka's personality will change slightly or gently, but as a parent, I'm still worried.

This would be the same mood as a parent, no matter how many children they become.

Even as an examiner, I didn't think at all that I would start thinking about such things.

It was a study aid that I thought was familiar with this kind of thing about having a child.

Regardless of Luka, Kaiseki once again looked at the communication terminal at hand.

I don't actually use it to confirm it, so I don't know if it can withstand practical use, but at least it looks like there are no defects in the magic team.

I know that Dareth will bring it to the examiner after a thorough test, but I decided to confirm it.

"You did a good test, didn't you?

"Yes, of course."

Dareth nodded confidently to the question of the examiner.

Originally, there was a concept of testing in the development of magical instruments, but it was not investigated in detail like an assistant.

In the first place, magic equipment was a tool used by a limited number of people, so it was used in the perception that this is what happened when there was a malfunction.

Speaking of which, magic equipment that does not cause such defects was basically a bespoke product, and it was natural to deal with it individually.

However, the communication terminals that are about to be sold are not intended to be such limited sales.

For this reason, it is important to consider that many people use it at once.

That means you have to perform a lot of tests in advance to see if there are any defects.

You don't have to say it, but it's impossible for a lot of people to buy a product with many defects.

Of course, defects and user-friendliness are separate issues.

If one user requests "this way" and many other users have a policy to the contrary, the former user's request cannot be fulfilled.

Doing so would conflict with the goal of selling to many users.

That is an extreme example, but similar cases will come up as many as they sell.

In such a case, it is sufficient to create a terminal for the user to use.

However, we cannot create a new device for just one person, so we will think about it together with profitability.

Alternatively, they would accept and make an order as a special order.

Kaiseki has already conveyed these thoughts to Schmidt and Dales.

It would be the Crown's role to think about what to do when actually selling a device.

In the first place, we don't really know if this device is acceptable in this world.

Sometimes you don't know if you have to pick up the voice of the user after actually selling it to decide on such details.

Already, it was enough to check the terminal for extreme mistakes.
