Magi Craft Meister

23-10 Underground Mysteries/That Country

The day after I made the 'Push Up Pump' in the Klein Kingdom and saved Tia.

Jen returned to Penglai Island and was talking to Old Man.

It is about the plan to follow the surveillance satellite Watcher.

Reiko was present, as well as Elsa and Saki.

"... Your husband (My Lord) says there are still mysteries hidden underground."

"That's right. Especially underground in the former Kingdom of Leonard. It would be strange to see such supergiant ants coming out."

'You're certainly right. So, what exactly are you going to do?

"... Brother Jin, do you use the 'mole'?

Elsa anticipated Jen's behavior.

A "mole" is an underground exploration magic machine (Magi machine) made by Jen.

It resembles a shielded machine used in modern Earth for tunnel digging and the like, two metres in diameter and three metres in length cylindrical.

I can do two kinds of digging using the "Digging" magic guide and a hyper-adamantite chip.

"Hmm, kinda big... or I think it's too big"

Jen denies Elsa's question with a difficult face.

"Jin, what does that mean?

The next question comes from Saki.

"I mean, it's more efficient to be a little smaller if you're just going to investigate."

"Oh, I see, the size of the hole you dig, that's what you mean, huh?

"Yes, I think if people weren't going in later, they could be smaller."

It was the environment called the Inad mine that made the 'mole' that size as well.

He was Jen, who said he wanted to be the right size for a mini artisan (Smith) or a little artisan (Smith).

"... then it won't cost that much either"

Elsa was convinced too, so she decided to start considering it on that line as soon as possible.

"The main objective is the underground investigation of the former Kingdom of Leonard."

"Sure, that demon is unusual."

Saki also listens to the story, and the supergiant ant ant (gigaant) lysate is also used to evaluate the material's physical properties.

"Previously, when I checked the basement of the Inad mine with a" mole, "it was like a giant hundred-legged (Gigantopeder) farmhouse."

"... Indeed"

Elsa nods.

"I thought maybe there was one in the basement of the old kingdom of Leonard. The northern part of the country is also bordered by the village of Kaina."

"Oh, sure. I know Jen will be worried."

Saki guessed and agreed with Jen's heart.

"And one more thing. I knew I'd be interested in the subsurface structure of this planet."

Jen looks at Chira and Saki.

"I know that Penglai seems to be a bigger volcanic activity than it was in its predecessors, but it's not erupting now, and if you look at the finished world map, there's no active volcano. It's just a tiny star, and it's a pretty cold star up to the nucleus, you know."

"Hmm? What do you mean, Jin?

Saki didn't seem to understand. I can't help it. Saki has only studied science up to the elementary school level when it comes to modern Japan.

(Can't you make a magic tool that can also use a higher level of knowledge transfer (transinfo) for Saki?

I even think about that, Jen.

"Um, a planet is hotter inside, even if the surface is cold. Sometimes volcanoes erupt, hot springs gush."

"Hmm."

"So, even though this star is small... compared to the star I was on... it's small, so I thought it might be pretty cold to the inside."

Geology and others are Jen, who is only at the junior high level, so the explanation is traceable, but in the first place, I don't even know if it makes sense to compare this planet called Ars, which is in a different world, to Earth.

"I mean, what's going on in the basement? How can magic crystals be used? What resources are there? That's what I want to find out."

This explanation seemed to Saki's liking.

"I see! Jin, let's find out! Come on! Come on!

It was Elsa who stopped pushing the buoyant Saki.

"Sister Saki, calm down. I'm trying to figure out the magic equipment I need to do that."

"Oh, yeah. Sorry."

So we're going to pack the specifications at Jen's initiative.

"10 cm diameter, 30 cm long"

Looks like a bigger teapot.

"Micro Magic Reactor (Magic Reactor) is the power source"

An ultra-compact magic reactor made by a mini craftsman (Smith). Normal… No, even a leading magician (Magicraftsman) can't analyze it. In case it's in someone's hands, you won't be able to apply it.

"The propulsion force is the force field generator"

It's the most efficient propulsion method.

"Also attach the Magic Eye (Magic Eye) and send the information here"

This is also natural because the primary purpose of the investigation is to investigate.

"In case it's in someone's hands, built-in suicide bomber with transfer and self-destruct devices in mind to avoid being analyzed for abuse"

The destination of the transfer device is in "Shinka". Self-destruct when you can't even do that. And even self-destruct is possible. Because keeping it confidential is of the utmost importance.

Specifications that are thus determined one after the other.

"I want a golem equivalent to a mini craftsman (Smith) on board to deal with accidents."

This was disputed by Saki.

"Hmm, Jin, what about that? If something unexpected happened that could not be helped with the gear you've decided to do, would you be able to handle it with a mini craftsman (Smith)?

Jen also objected.

"I can fix it when it breaks down. And it's quick, and I can use Invisibility, so I don't think I'm gonna get caught."

"Right... then, okay?

I just have to take that much risk, Jen added.

And most importantly, it becomes a 'hole digging' method.

Digging through objects is moving substances in the direction of progress to their rear, I wish I could repeat this, but when it comes to doing it, it's not easy.

The drill puts the hole through by draining the cutting debris upwards with a helical groove carved on its side.

When digging tunnels, conveyors for discharging rock chips that have been crushed and exited from the rock formations will be required.

Even if evaporated with a beam of light (laser), the gas must be ejected.

"Hmm, what to do"

It is troubling. The most troubling reason, though, is' concealment '.

What that means is, assuming there's some kind of facility in the basement… I don't want to be distracted if there was once something like "The Devil's Brain" made by "Dexoconai".

If you dig in mechanically, you'll be noticed by vibrations and digging sounds, Jen thought.

"I figured we'd make it a transfer gun method."

"... Brother Jin, how do you do it?

They didn't come pin by that name, and Elsa has tilted her neck and asked questions.

"Yeah, let's tip the same thing as the transfer gun and transfer the rock in the direction of travel backwards."

The transfer distance is for the length of the 'mini mole'.

"Uh, for example, transfer ten centimetres of rock backwards, go ten centimetres, and take another ten centimetres of rock backwards...?

Saki gave me an easy explanation to understand.

"Oh, you're right. Because the distance to transfer is short, you need to consume less magic energy (mana)."

"I mean, going intermittently, you mean?

"That's the thing. Build up, transfer, move on, and build up Magnetin (Mana) again with a micromagic reactor (Magiliator) …"

"It may take a while, but it sounds interesting."

"Mm-hmm. I want to try"

"All right, I'll take it."

Thus began the production of the Mini Mole.

I thought Jen was closer to 'mites' than to 'moles', but he didn't say it in his mouth.

"How are you getting ready for the ceremony?

"Ha, sire. It's going well."

At the Royal Castle of the Kingdom of Celluloa, King Richard was having lunch, listening to reports from his men.

"Well, hehe, I'd like to see some surprised faces from other countries soon."

The city of Dali, the kingdom of Celluloa, is strewn with waterways, like Venice, by analogy, making it an important means of transport.

A new small boat was also floating in the waterway.

"Ships, airships, golems. Once again, show them that this Cellulose is the best on the continent."

King Richard of the Kingdom of Celluloa laughed and drank the glass of wine in his hand at once.
