Magi Craft Meister

When the World Conference was being held in Avalon, Deus Ex Machina was investigating the Singularity in the Cellulose Kingdom.

"Singularity" refers to the point where the "soil contamination concentration" is abnormally low in that part.

Deus Ex Machina was observing the area in "Aristotle".

"Hmm, I didn't feel any change on the surface after all." However, I also feel that there are many pleasant shrubs (kanbu). "

“Yes, because of the low level of heavy metal contamination, after all.”

It was Ray who answered Makina.

This time, there's no one in the Cellulore Kingdom, so I can do whatever I want.

Okay, we need to get the contamination distribution data.

Just topsoil is fine, but there may be some new discoveries, and we can compare them with the data from the other day, so the survey method is followed.

The work is entrusted to the "space 11" to "space 20" of the "Aristotle" crew.

Each of them had a [Magic Tool for Soil Investigation] and headed in pairs to a randomly designated point.

The Space Corps travels at a maximum speed of 200 kilometers per hour. Since 100 kilometers per hour can be produced in this wasteland, it is more efficient to travel in "Aristotle" if you measure in a narrow area.

Five locations were measured in 10 minutes, and plus five locations were measured in 30 minutes, including movement.

The measurement results are sent to Aristotle and Penglai.

The old man analyzed the data in less than a second and gave an indication of the next place to be measured.

As a result, 10 more measurements were made...

You have an idea of the approximate center point.

Yes, Makina-sama.

"But this is......"

The concentration distribution is clearly abnormal.

At other points, the decrease or increase in concentration was moderate, but there was a change rate of nearly 10 times around the "singularity point".

“This high rate of decline clearly smells artificial.”

That's right.

"With 20 data points gathered, there's no doubt that this is the center of" Singularity "."

Yes.



Of course you've done your calculations.

Then I used the "Peek Telescope (Peepers)" and looked underground...

This is... a base? No... it must be moving because it's powered.

It is a hemispherically shaped structure with a diameter of 100 meters.

The thickness of the armor made of special steel is about 10 meters.

Perhaps this is what Arnold called the 'Doomsday Machine'.

The amount of iron used made me think that there was no doubt about it.

I think we should call it the Mobile Fortress... Was this the true nature of the "ultimate weapon"? "

After that, Old Man checked out the [Mobile Fortress].

The power was the usual size... it was a collection of [Magic Converter (Ether Converter)] used for golems.

Even the engineers of the old Dinar Kingdom couldn't fuse the magic crystals together like Jin.

Therefore, the number is great.

Approximately 1000 pieces.

I can't even imagine how he got it.

Still, you're running out of energy, aren't you?

In Old Man's view, if you wanted to move something this size and weight, you would need 10 times more energy (Magic Element (Mana)).

So it's incomplete. With that amount of energy, at most, it's going to make the internal equipment work.

And the old man was looking into the inside.

Hmm... plants, living quarters, water tanks, air conditioning... more than 100 people can live inside.

As well as being a stronghold, it was also a place of refuge.

Is the operation 20 dedicated golems? Is it lack of energy that is stopping?

However, there was no damage or deterioration to the golem, and it seemed to be in good condition.

The weaponry... is a cannon, a giant stone thrower (catapult), a giant crossbow, and a magical attack terminal...

The outfit wasn't a big deal. but it would be quite a threat because of its size and number.

There's a physical barrier and a magical barrier for defense.

Again, it seems that the energy source, the "magnetic transducer (ether converter)", is too small and will not work satisfactorily.

It looks like... my legs... are 100 short legs.

In other words, a hundred legs like an elephant grow on the flat surface of the lower surface.

Each one seems to have some elasticity, and even if it is not leveled, it is likely to proceed if it is flat.

But you won't be able to climb the mountain...... so it's still the [Bororon Wilderness]... no, it was supposed to be operated in the [Bororon Plains] at that time.

I was going to look into it more closely.

The Command Room alone... seems to keep the interior level to a certain extent, but if the fortress is tilted, it will stay that way.

In addition,

Is this a golem to take care of the crew... or a golem for battle? You obviously don't have enough. "

The fact that we didn't have enough materials to complete the number of golems we needed to take care of.

But why was it buried underground... or was it built underground?

It's possible they built it underground so they wouldn't be able to find it, but how? The question remains.

If there is an underground base and it was built there, it is because the fortress itself is completely "buried".

Or 'buried'? No, I don't think so.

The old man didn't know how to build it right away.

That's not what matters right now, though.

"If this keeps up... it's unlikely to become a threat." Rather, it's better to make effective use of it. "

That is what the old man concluded. [M]

Finally... where's the magic mind in charge?

Because it was such a huge facility, it was normal to think that it was managed by a magic mind.

But I can't find it no matter how much you look for it in the Peek Telescope (Peepers).

There was a place where I could install my magic mind, but there was nothing there.

”... that means it's unfinished.”

The old man decided to do so. [M]
