Magi Craft Meister

The search for the "Mobile Station" from Deus Ex Machina continued.

When I circled the passage around the outer perimeter, there was no need to be blindfolded, and [Space 8] returned to the original place where it was waiting.

There was not a single window, but it turned out to be the outer circumference because of the length of one circumference.

He walked about 160 meters and drew an arc.

Considering the distance of descent, the structure of the hemisphere, and the thickness of the outer shell of 10 meters, it was decided that such a passage could be made only on the outer periphery.

Moreover, it would be the highest hierarchy inside the hemisphere.

"There were four bends along the way."

It is likely that the radial passage is connected to the circular circumferential passage.

Just think of the family crest called "Tsukuwa" (the Satsuma Island Tsuzu family crest is close to that).

Naturally, the next subject of investigation is the passage.

As a result, no blind eye was found in any of these.

It seems that the only small hole in the hierarchy is the one through which they entered.

However, this is the case.

A spiral staircase headed downward was installed at the center of the cross.

"I guess I'll have to go down here."...... "Space 8" will be protected here. "

Makina changed the defensive position of "Space 8".

The party went down the spiral staircase in the same order as before.



"Huh..."

The faces of the "World Conference" that saw the sent video were relieved and exhaled in small breaths.

There was nothing at the top of the hierarchy or at the top of the hierarchy.

"What about the next hierarchy?"...... Lord Arnold, what do you think? "

"Perhaps the interior is divided into three or four levels. So I think there's something in the next hierarchy.”

I see.

The hemisphere is 50 meters high. If the thickness of the exterior wall is 10 meters, the height of the interior space is presumed to be 30 meters.

Assuming a hierarchy height of 5 meters and a floor thickness of 2 meters, there are four levels.

Arnold speculated that the second and third tiers would be the main hierarchy of the "mobile base", since the lowest tier is probably related to power.



"The thickness between the strata is about two meters."

It looks like there's an energy pipe, magic signal cable, air conditioning pipe, etc.

In the middle of the spiral staircase, there are a number of hatches thought to be for maintenance, which we examined.

And the Machinas descending to the next floor.

It was also pitch dark here, so I turned on the light from the "Ball of Light."

Hmmm.

A row of machinas descended from the top to the center of the floor, which is thought to be the second level.

It was a circular hall with passages in all directions.

Let's take a look in order.

The eight passages here were numbered from 1 to 8, so we will look at them in order from 1 to 8.



"Hmm... Lord Arnold, what do you think?"

“That's right, maybe this hierarchy is a residential area.”

What's the rationale for that?

"The design philosophy at the time... And I guess the lower level is the control area where the command room and so on are located, and the lower level is the power area."

Hmm, I see.



The first aisle was indeed a living quarters.

There are only private rooms, one room is about three tatami mats, and there is only a bed and a toilet.

Given that it's an emergency shelter, that should be enough.

The same goes for aisles 2 and 3.

But is the room facing the 4th avenue for the family, or are there two bunk beds about 8 tatami mats in size? In other words, it was a room for four people.

Aisle 5 is the same.

And aisle six.

This is not a residential facility, and there is a "probably", but it is thought to be a "vegetable factory".

'Probably' because the inside was poorly maintained.

However, there are shelves thought to be used for hydroponics and pseudo solar lamps thought to have been installed on a trial basis, and they were presumed to be "vegetable factories".

The reason why we limited ourselves to "vegetables" was that it was not large enough to be able to feed ourselves with grain.

It was Machina's guess that it would be a facility to make up for temporary shelter and the associated lack of vitamins.

Aisles 7 and 8 are warehouses.

Number 7 is probably for groceries, and number 8 is for food.

This is a guess based on the fact that while the 7th side was partitioned in some detail, the 8th side had only a large shelf, and although it was not moving, the air conditioning system was adequate.



Oh, Lord Arnold did exactly what I expected.

“However, it is likely to be difficult to avoid for a long time.”

"Isn't that the only choice?" It's a wartime structure, after all. "

Even the aspects of the "World Conference" only saw the uncomfortability of the residential area.

In the first place, almost everyone lives in a privileged environment, so it may be natural not to be accustomed to such emergency facilities.



It must be the hierarchy of control.

The staircase going "down" was not the central part, but rather the outer periphery, and it was in the middle position.

There are a total of four radial passages in each of the eight.

"Is it the same wherever I go?"... no, let's use the pantry stairs. "

I decided to use the aisle on the side of the warehouse, not the side with the human room.

It is not very well-founded.

However, it was speculated that ordinary people could not easily travel to and from important facilities such as the command room (in fact, the old man observed it with a "peek telescope (Peepers)" and suggested that this would be good).

In that regard, it seemed that only those who had permission were allowed to enter and exit the section where the pantry was located.

This staircase has a landing along the way and a door.

"... if it works properly, I guess I'll do something like personal authentication here."

There is a command room in the next tier, so it was a natural security measure.

However, this facility is unfinished, so there is nothing to go...... and the door does not open with it locked.

"... please, Ray."

Roger that.

With his sword, Servant Ray slashed the door and destroyed the lock.

As a result, the door can now be opened manually.

"Makina's party is finally heading to the command room..."
