Magi Craft Meister

77-09 Evening

The battle between Zeken 2 "Nile V" and Zeken 3 "Maystoms" continued at each other's sides.

Vertical descent while blowing up the airframe ends in pain.

At an altitude of 500 meters, we decided it was dangerous, and both planes moved to horizontal flight almost simultaneously.

As can be seen from looking at it, the judgment of the pilot golem was also mutually reinforcing.



Hmm, that's just the finals, that's a good match.

"... which brother Jin thinks wins?"

"That's right... I can't predict where this game will go.So... it might be decided by unexpected things. "

"What, that?"

"It's hard to understand.... I don't know what to say... but it depends on what happens when something unexpected happens"

"Last time, frost stuck to the windshield?"

"Yes, that's it."

While Jen and Elsa had such a conversation, their gaze was nailed to the screen.



"Hmm, this video system is amazing. That's Jin."

"It's true, you."

"The most amazing thing is the control to deploy the reflection boundary in the right place."

"I can't imagine how."

Gin sounds good.

Rheinhardt and Berche also enjoyed the finals for themselves.



It's almost 30 minutes since the two fights started.

And the sun went dark.

"... the clouds are coming out."

Jin murmurs.

Is it a cumulus cloud?

Onogoro Island in the southern hemisphere, on the Tropic of Cancer, is now midsummer.It is not strange that evening rises.

But what about the competition...?

So far, there seems to be no announcement of interruption. On the contrary,

It seems that the evening clouds are approaching, but this is a natural phenomenon.This hot finals will continue!

declared.

It seems that he has played in the rain in the past.

Also, since the spectator seat is bounded by rain, it will not get wet.

"This evening may divide victory."

Jin said softly.



Two planes flew into the sky in battle time and again.The altitude is now 5,000 meters.It is the height of the mid-layer cloud.

Both Rubina and Gow know that the clouds at this height are made of water droplets and have decided that no ice will stick.

The evening clouds approached Onogoro Island.



"Brother Jin, aren't the ray guns used in the competition blocked by clouds?"

"Hmm, I don't know the specifications, but it seems to be a long wavelength infrared, so it's quite transparent."

"Ah, yes, it was settled in the clouds."

"That's what I'm talking about. I don't know if smoke or smoke screens can protect me from light... but I have to try.I'm sure it will weaken. "

"Yeah, okay."



While being pulled out at about 600 km/h, the two aircraft entered the evening clouds.

By the way, "evening clouds" are a snitch name, and in most cases "clouds of turbulence".

This is when wet air rises above the sky due to intense rising air currents, cooling and condensing.

Some large ones reach near the stratosphere, in which case the top of the cloud cannot rise any further, but it becomes flat and is called the "Kanako Cloud."

The top of the turbulence cloud is made of ice grains, which become heavier and fall.

However, the falling ice grains are blown up by a violent rising airflow, and the surrounding ice becomes heavier and falls again.

This was repeated several times, and what became a mass of ice reached the ground without melting in the middle of it was hail.

Therefore, the cross-section of "hail" shows the layer of ice adhering.

Snakefeet used to describe this as a "change ball" (a candy that changes color while licking a change ball).

Among the evening clouds into which the two planes penetrated, besides the water droplets of the cloud body, there were countless grains of ice that had become hail floating.

It is a mass of ice about two centimeters in diameter, but if it collides at a speed of 600 kilometers per hour, its power is considerable.

The same thing happens when you move at high speed and hit an object, or when an object moving at high speed hits you.

Running on a bicycle or motorcycle, kicking a box of styrol rolling on the road adds more shock to your feet than you can imagine.

Also, when insects such as cannabis hit a helmet while riding a motorcycle on the highway, it can be quite shocking.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!"

"Wowaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

Sitting in the supervisor's seat, they screamed as they watched a screen that reflected the sight of the pilot golem.

I wondered if there was a crack in the windshield in a short while, because it broke apart in no time.

A grain of ice that strikes a stripped cockpit.

However, two planes flying at speeds exceeding 166.7 meters per hour and per second were penetrating the clouds at the next moment.

In just a few seconds, "Nile V" and "Maystom" were severely damaged.

The wind defense is no longer fragmented, and the leading edge of the main wing is also depressed.

And there were countless scratches and dents on the aircraft.



Ah, I knew it.

Jin trembled.

The collision at 600 km/h caused great damage to the two planes fighting the finals.

But this is also an event during the competition.

The competition continues.

Because it is caused only by natural phenomena and not man-made.

"... I'm glad you're flying in a golem..."

If it had been a human, it would have crashed... rather than crashed.

"Brother Jin, did you predict this?"

"No, that's when the hail came down...."

Now, the evening clouds hang above Onogoro Island, causing hail.

Grains of ice about three centimeters in diameter hit the boundary and crushed.

"Because of these things, it's difficult to cope with an 'unexpected situation'...."

Jen also remembers that the prototype with the first prototype Magic Jet Propulsion Engine crashed due to the Bird Strike.

Since then, it has become possible to take measures against "unforeseen circumstances".

However, Rubina and Gow are still inexperienced, and there are competition rules, so it would be helpful if we did not deal with bad weather as we did this time.

"Rubina won't be able to break into the clouds and take damage twice..."

Yet Jin imagined that he had plunged into the clouds again.

"Perhaps, I thought I was able to take advantage of my last experience and I wanted to make a difference here..."

I'll have to say it was sweet.

"But they both took damage."

"Elsa is right. But...."

"What?"

"There's a definite difference between those two."
