Magi Craft Meister
83-31 Machina Investigation Team
Now, instead of the scene, a row of Makina investigating the [mobile base].
A landing on the way down the stairs to the desired hierarchy, and the door provided there.
With it, Knight Ray slashed the door and destroyed the lock.
All right, let's pay more attention.
Yes.
Makina went down the stairs.
When I reached the desired hierarchy, there was also a door that was locked.
Here too, Servant Knight Ray wielded his sword to break the locking mechanism and open the door.
Hmm, this place is a little different.
That's right.
The impression of the hierarchy so far is different from that of the passageways.
I get the impression that the color of the metal is sticking out here.
High ceilings and wide passageways.
The ceiling height is 4 meters and the passage width is 4 meters. It is a fairly large hierarchy.
It's not painted and the flooring isn't tiled.
“Perhaps this is part of our defense.”
Makina saw that it was set up to use [Electroshock] magic to wipe out enemies.
The ceiling, the floor, and the left and right walls have different potentials, I guess.
It is not within reach to reach even if you reach out to them individually.
If high enough voltage is applied to the floor to discharge, the passage may also be filled with arc caused by discharge.
Well, I don't have enough energy to generate that much high voltage.
The mumbling of Machina was also relayed to Avalon, and the hearers were relieved.
Hmm, that's quite a terrifying way to defend yourself.
"I agree."
"Discharging that distance is hundreds of millions of volts..."
“Perhaps we can help by charging air beforehand to ionize it, or spraying a conductive mist.”
Oh, I see.
That's right, Jin-sama.
I'm impressed by Jen's explanation.
But I didn't want her to imitate me.
A line of makinas going down the aisle.
"This is the direction of the center of the [Mobile Fortress]." In other words, the destination is.... "
It was a sturdy door, but it was also opened by the knight's sword.
"Oh......"
That was exactly the command room.
But...
"... I knew it was unfinished."
That's right.
The impression that maintenance was in progress at Skaska was not wiped (wiped).
It means that the equipment to be installed has not been installed in time.
Once it was completed, it would have become quite a thing to be seen.
Even Avalon was able to see it.
"Oh... what do you mean, it's beating."
No, no, you could say that's good for you.
That's for sure.
It's finished, and I feel chilly if I think it would run wild.
As we have seen in the past, such things can happen.
The intention of the producer is too different from the current situation, but...
I feel safe now.
“No, there's at least one more place you need to check.”
Gin-sama, is that it?
It's a power chamber.
As Jen said, Makina was looking for the power room after the command room.
The energy is completely dead, so I can't follow the energy line.
(In fact, the Old Man has already discovered it using the Peek-a-boo Telescope (Peepers), but we need to find a convincing way to see it.)
"It's hard to think of anything like that right under the command room." It's probably not the center or the periphery... I wonder if it's somewhere around here? "
Do you want to split up?
Ray made a suggestion after hearing Makina's guess.
I see. I don't think there's any danger, so I'll let you two find it.
In Avalon, Jen explains Machina's conjecture.
"If the power source is directly below the command room, it is dangerous if the magic power runs rampant, so it is suitable a little further away." That said, the outer perimeter will be easily destroyed when attacked by the enemy. "
I see, that's the halfway point.
“Of course, this is just one of the design ideas, and there will be other engineers thinking about it. However, if we were to put the command room in this position, it would be comparable to deploying other equipment.”
I see.
Makina-sama thinks so and is looking for a power source.
Everyone seemed to be convinced, so Jen continued to explain further.
“In that case, the power source would be a limited number of engineers, so there is a good chance that no ordinary aisle would be provided.”
”Ho ho ho”
“It's a maintenance aisle, to put it plainly.”
"I see, I appreciate the commentary."
As Jen explained, Makina and the others were looking for a maintenance passage to the power chamber (though Old Man had already found it).
As a result, the "Space 3" and "Space 4" teams will be discovered.
Oh, this is it.
Yes.
It is an entrance provided on the floor of the passage.
There was no complicated lock, and the lid was lifted by pulling the lever.
There's a square hole about 70 centimeters square on the floor, and it's half a level from there? I was able to go down the aisle.
All right, let's go.
The line of machinas went into the maintenance aisle.
”Hohoho, it's structured for tomorrow.”
What about this [Avalon]?
Jen answers the question.
"No, this Avalon is much bigger, so it's clearly hierarchical."
I see. It's smaller than here, so it's made for tomorrow.
I hope it's good for you.
In the screen, Makina and her party are going down a narrow aisle.
The width and height of the aisle were both about 1.8 meters, so that adult males could walk flexibly first.
Bare cables and pipes can also be seen on the walls.
“It's not just going to the power room, it's going to be used to maintain the power lines and the infrastructure.”
Hmmm.
So, maybe this passage leads to a net underneath the floor of the command room.
I see.
Oh, that might be the power chamber.
Inside the screen, there was a line of machinas in front of the red painted door.
