Magi Craft Meister

"What? What's this?"

Marcia puts her neck up on parts that don't even look like oars. Jen,

"Well, look at that. Reiko, help me assemble it."

"Yes."

Jen is going to attach the heavy parts to a double-torso ship while getting Reiko to take them. In no time, it was done.

"Come on, we got it. If you float and see the balance, let's make it run."

It was attached to the rear of the central hull of the double-torso vessel.

At the far rear is a water wheel, which is fitted with a round wheel next to the water wheel. The ring had a V-shaped groove and was hung with a belt of supple material.

The belt hangs between it and the other ring.

On the other ring, the bars bent in the L form protruded left and right against each other, with seats slightly behind them and a handle a little while back.

As you can already see, what Jen made is a type of propulsion device that rows pedals to the bicycle type and turns the water wheel. That's the one you often see in the ponds and lakes of tourist destinations.

but the first time Marcia sees it,

"Is this how you're going to proceed?

He seemed worried.

"Evidence over theory, well let's give it a try"

So, let Arrow of the Golem help too, float the ship to the sea. And

"Well, then, I'll steer, Reiko, step on the pedal."

"Huh? Are you okay?

Marcia still sounds worried, but Jen laughed,

"Oh. I'll take care of it"

"Oops... brother, we're ready"

"All right, let's go. We're gonna take it slow at first."

"Yes."

Reiko steps on the pedal. Then the water wheel turns out and scratches out the water backwards. The recoil moves the ship forward.

"Ooh! It's working!

And the ship that went out of the sea bath area gradually increased its speed.

"Yeah, that's a bad idea"

"Father, would you make it a little faster?

"No, that's about it. Reiko, what is the output of the Magnetic Converter (ether converter) now?

"Yes, roughly five percent."

"Well, that's less efficient than I thought. Shall we change the shape of the water wheel?"

Jen then uses deformation (forming) while sitting in the cockpit. With physical contact, it can be used at a distance of about three meters. Although it becomes inefficient in inverse proportion to distance.

"Oh, that sounds a little good this time"

After several fine-tunings, it was expected to improve speed by more than 30% compared to the first one.

All right, I'll be right back.

Jen turns and returns to the dock. It was Marcia, full of joy, who greeted her.

"Jin! It's amazing! You're a genius!

To the praise of letting go, Jen lit up, Reiko proud.

"Add one more and you'll be done."

"Are you still missing something?

Marcia listened back to Jen.

"Oh. A blister is flying out of the water truck, and I want to put a cover on it to prevent it."

When the water wheel spinned fast, the centrifugal force splashed blisters in all directions, causing Reiko and Jen to wet their backs.

"Here's the thing, do it. Deformation. All right, it's done."

"Well, can I take a ride?

Jen smiled bitterly as she saw Marcia nagging for a ride.

"Oh, before you do, Marcia, the owner, will name this ship, too."

"Hmm? Well. So... how about" Signus "?

"Isn't that nice? Then, according to the name 'Signus', … surface treatment (saf treatment)"

"Ah? Ahhh?

The hull of a double-torso ship changed from the colour of the tree to a white worthy of the name of Signus.

"Hey, what are you doing!?

"I simply pulled out the pigment and whitened it."

In short, it is bleaching. As a matter of fact, it is also waterproof. And Jen,

"Arrow, come here for a second. All right, plating."

The nickel exited when the impurities were separated from the bronze is plated on the surface of the arrow. This made Arrow silver gray and resistant to corrosion.

"Shh, wow! Jin, are you done? That's okay, right?

I've already tried riding it as fast as I can. Look at Marcia, he says.

"Oh. Be careful."

"All right! I'm coming! Arrow, I asked you!

"Hi, Omaka Sekdasai"

"'Signus', water advance!

Only with Marcia having the highest order power, the collaboration between Arrow and Marcia was smooth from the start. Marcia starts flying all of a sudden.

He jumps up a water splash from the stern and runs to slip over the water. Jen dropped it off,

"Uh, after all, a water wheel isn't efficient."

That's right, he was talking to himself. It was Reiko who heard about it.

"Father, are you still unhappy with that?

Reiko had the knowledge conveyed by her predecessor Magicraft Jazz, Adriana Barbora Tsetsi, but there was no propulsion agency like Jen had made this time.

"Oh. It's more efficient for not being a reciprocating exercise, like an ol', but I knew it when it got so splashy..."

Yes, saying you can do a splash or a wave means you're only losing energy for that matter. Jen, with the knowledge of modern Earth, wanted to propel the screw.

"But there are a lot of problems with turning the screw."

First, the direction of rotation shall change 90 degrees from the pedal. And not enough rpm. Screws are inefficient without high rotation.

"I can't make umbrella gear (bevel gear) yet..."

So far, Jen couldn't make gear. Since more than two pieces of gear mesh together, precision is required.

I could have made a ball of bearings because I should have managed the parameter of weight, but for gear, I'm a little out of hand at the moment with modules and pitches and the volume curves.

"You have to build a machine tool."

For once, because I worked in such a factory, I have used lathes and milling machines, and I know the approximate structure, but so far I don't have time to reproduce them.

"This is your upcoming assignment at the Institute."

After a while, I kicked the water and 'Signus' returned.

"Welcome back"

When Jen greets him at the pier, Marcia, who is excited,

"Jin! That's amazing, you ship! I've never seen a ship this fast either!

"That's good. So, are there any grievances or anything that bothered you?

When Jen asks,

"Oh, I'm not dissatisfied with the propulsion. It's the hull. I hope we can get a little closer."

Dual-torso ships are lined up with elongated hulls, making them difficult to make small turns, even if they are more direct.

"Um, but don't you need a small spin in the competition?

"Well, yeah. Basically, you just leave the harbor, go all the way around the island at the turning point, and come back to the goal."

But, Marcia adds.

"Aiming for a better hull isn't a bad thing, is it?

To Marcia, who says so and laughs,

"You're right. If you're satisfied, progress will stop there."

Jen also agreed.

It was time for dusk and the wind caught on. That was the end of the day for Jens.
