Magi Craft Meister

At a point 30 kilometers west of "Mount Ono Uni", Reiko discovered something underground.

Father, it looks like Arnold is here.

Looking down from the window, it is a wasteland.

Yeah, there's a free magic (ether) reaction underground in this empty wilderness, so this is your destination in nine out of ten.

“So what do we do, Arnold?”

”Hmm... do you know the depth of the free magic (ether) reaction?”

"Just a moment, if you move a little bit and take a measurement... Hope, move about a kilometer west."

"Yes, ma'am."

As a result, triangulation can be performed and the distance can be determined.The more altitude you subtract, the more depth you get.

Reiko reported to me as soon as I moved.

"It's 120 meters underground.If you look at the distribution, there seems to be a cavity. ”

I'm sure of it.

In fact, the old man used the [Peep Telescope (Peepers)] and had already confirmed it.It is definitely an ancient institution.

"I probably used a transfer magic circle to get in and out... but I don't think there's any left in the ground."

I guess so.

So what do we do?

We'll use the mini moles for underground exploration.

Mini mole?

Well, look at that.

It looks like it was loaded with hurricanes, and in fact, the "mini mole" was sent by the transporter from Ponri Island.

The mini moles are cylindrical with a diameter of 10 centimeters and a length of 30 centimeters.The Micro Magic Reactor (Magi Reactor) was the power source.The propulsive force is the force field generator [Force Generator].

Oh, this is amazing!

It's small, but is it okay?

"That's fine. The crew is in Command 1."

Oh!

Commando 1 is five centimeters tall.No wonder Arnold was surprised.

”How did you make it so small, it works so well?”

"I made a quarter of a normal work golem, and then I made another quarter of a golem..."

"I see. 160 centimeters, 40 centimeters, 10 centimeters."

"Five centimeters is not a quarter, but a half."

But that's a good idea.

Arnold praised Jen's idea.

Even Jen wants to welcome Arnold to the "Jin Family" eventually, so now she wants to show the production to the small group.

"The contents of the investigation will be displayed on this monitor"

I like it.

In fact, the video will be sent to the command room on Ponri Island, but the old man will forward it to Hurricane, so it's okay.

Ren landed the [Hurricane] and set a mini mole.

"Command 1, please."

"Hi, Master Sama."

Well then, let's launch the Mini Mole.

Hassin!

[Mini Mole] pierces the ground, but moves on.Soon the figure disappeared.

That's pretty fast. How fast can you dig?

"Hmm, depending on the quality of the soil and rocks, I can't say all of them, but if the conditions are right, I could go more than 50 meters an hour."

“That's amazing. We should be able to get to the basement in a couple of hours.”

Do you think the basement facility is still alive?

No, I don't think so. The free magic (ether) reaction isn't that big either, so it's probably an air conditioning or maintenance golem at best.

I see.

What kind of weapon is "Doomsday Machine" and a development code?

In the first place, is it sealed in this land?

Only the old man would look at it with the "peek telescope (peeper)", but Jen thought that there would be no danger if he saw that he didn't say anything.



And wait two hours.

In the meantime, since they were free, they were moving around to check the nearby terrain and check the composition of the soil.

"This land also contains heavy metals."

Environmental pollution caused mainly by heavy metals such as mercury, beryllium, nickel, chromium, lead, zinc, arsenic, cadmium, vanadium, and manganese is called "heavy metal pollution."

According to Jen's analysis, arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury were mainly contained in trace amounts.

"'Extraction'...... Hmm"

When Jen tried using engineering magic, she properly extracted metal lead.

That said, if you extract it from a cubic meter of soil, it's about a gram.

Since the specific gravity of lead is about 11.4, it is also slight in appearance.

Assuming that it is a lead mine, the content is not such that it is suitable for profitability.

Nevertheless, the soil containing lead and other metals is preventing the plants from flourishing and creating a deadly wilderness.

"Hmm, it seems like it would be very difficult to make a dedicated magic machine (magic machine) to remove harmful substances from soil up to 5 meters below ground."

According to the magic machine (magic machine) made by Jin, it would take about 2 seconds to "extract" the harmful ingredients from 1 square meter, 5 meters deep... that is, 5 cubic meters of soil.

The contaminated area to the west of Mount Ono Uni is roughly 250 square kilometers.

One magic machine (magic machine) will take nearly 16 years to calculate.

In other words, 16 units can be built in one year, 32 units can be built in half a year, and 200 units can be built in just under a month.

If you're going to use the same thing to cleanse the Bororon Wilderness, you'll need to add up to 20 times that amount in terms of area.

This is the same story since I reported it to the king.

He could do it on his own, but Jen thought that he should report it to the King and then get instructions...

How did you contaminate it?

This was also a matter of concern.

I just heard that you gasified the metal and scattered it in the air.

"...... you're a pain in the ass......"

Jen was disgusted by the inhumane tactics of vaporized metal, which could be absorbed into her body from her lungs and skin and cause a variety of disorders.

Jen also imagines that the method of gasification is like [decomposition (zerzetzen)]......

This kind of behavior is easy to disperse, but it's a hassle to retrieve.

I wish there were magic like the reversal of time, but that was Jen's impossible wish.

"I have no choice but to retrieve it in a tunnel..."

In the wilderness now spreading, Jen could not help but think of man's work.
