Magi Craft Meister

87-61 Resources and Assets

When Jen took off from [Hurricane], she used the [Transfer Gate (Warp Gate)] and returned to Penglai Island.

Old man, please prepare 100 medium quality [Magic Crystals].

Yes, Master (My Lord)

Specialized golems mine day and night on Ponri Island, so magic crystals (magic crystals) and other materials are literally piled up in the mountains.

And since magic crystals (magic crystals) are often of high quality, and Nin also prioritizes the use of such quality, there were countless medium quality crystals accumulated there.

"Even if you give away 100, it doesn't look like it's decreasing..."

In other words, Jen's impressions of the warehouse.

After all, there are more than 10 warehouses lined up that are about 100 times packed...

"If you were to mine 100 pieces a day, multiply it by 357 days, multiply it by 15 million pieces in 1400 years... that doesn't change even if you drop 100 pieces, does it?"

Even with the golems and automatic dolls (automata) that Ren has made so far, they can't reach 100,000 people. Two million, or four percent, if you use a control core, a magic reactor, or 20 other units.

It seemed that the metal resources were similar.

Master (My Lord), that calculation is wrong.

Huh?

The old man who heard Jen speak for himself gave me the correction information. [M]

There are also resources of cosmic origin, including fragments of the "long-period planet".

"Oh, I see..."

Yes, you're more efficient and pure than mining...

Okay, that's enough.

It seems that it is more than double the amount estimated by Ren at the beginning.

Moreover, if necessary, resources are stockpiled on the back of the "Moon (Uni)" and on the orbit of Ars.

Jen stopped thinking that she was stupid enough to worry about inventory anymore.

By the way, do you know anything about the Dosa mine in the Elias Kingdom?

Yes, Master (My Lord), this is one of the rare mines where you can collect Magic Crystals (Magic Crystals) of all classes.

Yeah, so?

The reserves are quite abundant, and even if we continue at the pace of about ten per day, we will not be depleted for 50 years.

I see, that's amazing.

Yes, and it looks like there's still an untouched vein of mineral sleeping deep beneath the ground.

"That's good news."

It was a good story so far. but.

However, the depth of the veins is unusual. Even today, the entrance to the tunnel is around 500 meters above sea level, while the deepest part of the tunnel is minus 40 meters above sea level. "

"That's a great story, isn't it?"

Yes, it seems that we can't re-dig the tunnel to a low place because the flathead is on a plateau in the first place.

"I see. So, what do you think happened to the mining efficiency in the mine?"

This was happening in mines all over the country, so Jen wondered.

Yes, Master (My Lord), I've looked into it and it looks like it's a fact.

What's the cause?

I don't quite understand it yet. As a phenomenon, the work efficiency has decreased, but it is unclear why it has decreased. "

"Wait a minute, is that human-only?"

including golems and automatic dolls (automatic machines)

"I see..."

If it was only for humans, I wondered if some weak suggestion magic was being used, but it was Jen's idea that it would be different if it were a golem.

Rather, it is difficult to discern a factor that reduces rather than stops the movement of the golem.

"The most conceivable thing is a decrease in the concentration of free magic (ether), but you'll soon notice that."

Yes, my lord. It will also have an impact on the Mage.

That's right.

I guess, but I've made some hypotheses.

Yeah, let me hear it.

Yes, first of all, the conversion efficiency from free magic (ether) to magic (mana) may be decreasing.

"... is it like the weak one from [Ether Jammer]?"

I think you can say that.

Certainly, [Free Magic Element (Ether) Jammer], which can put a certain range of free magic Ether under control, could have the same effect.

However, we need a bigger device, and it is doubtful that we can make it with current technology.

Another hypothesis is that there might be something like a weak 'interference field'.

What is this' interference field '?

"Yes, a barrier that slows down the control core."

"Oh, I see.... is that like making [Slave Rewrite Magic] so weak?"

It's fine if you take it that way.

I see. Do you still have it?

Yes, my lord. Another hypothesis is to increase the [Magic Resistance] in space.

“So you're slowing down the transmission of the magic signal controlling the golem?”

Yes, it will.

"I see..."

I'm sending the "fifth column (quinter)" to investigate, so I was wondering if anything would be reported soon.

"Wait for that."

Yes.



In the field, Regulus 14, commonly known as "Tax", was conducting an investigation.

My partner is Deneb 14, also known as "Tennes". My brothers and sisters.

Therefore, both of them have brown eyes and brown hair with a plain appearance.

It seems that the concentration of free magic (ether) has not decreased.

That's right. Of all the hypotheses, it seems that the conversion efficiency from free magic (ether) to magic (mana) has not decreased.

I see.

Because the two of them are not affected by anything.

"Then why did the efficiency drop, but..."

“I'm here to look into it, so let's keep watching for a while.”

That's the only way.

That's why "Tux" and "Teneth" were hiding while observing the Dosa mine.
