Magi Craft Meister

"Well, here goes yesterday."

Elsa was also coming to the workshop this morning because Soleil and Luna said they would do the cleanup and sent it out.

"Master (My Road), pressure vessels for air are available"

A report from you, old man. And the craftsman (Smith) brings the prototype.

It is a cylindrical container made of Adamantite, 20 cm in diameter and 60 cm in length.

The thickness of the container is about 2 mm, so it weighs about 75 kg as well.

"It's a container that can withstand 1,000 bar."

It's about 150 bar in a high-pressure cylinder made on modern Earth, so let's see how sturdy the container is.

"That's fast..."

It also seems to have a proper pressure relief valve.

"Yes, I'm fine"

The truth is, I was able to do it early last night, but when I tried to eject the filled air, the ejection did not become constant, so Old Master was making a trial and error.

The structure of the valve is simple, the spring is used to ensure that the air pressure blowing out is constant.

Many of the things used on modern earth are similar in principle.

"Well done"

"I'm afraid so."

Even Jen, who wants to complete the spaceship as soon as possible, is most welcome to save these efforts.

Old man is aware of it, but he was therefore concerned to support Jen except for what he could not have made himself.

"By the way, your husband (My Road), it's about Tsukiyogusa."

"Yeah, what's up?

'I did the sampling last night. Apart from that, Saki seems to be doing a lot of research on this at home.'

"Saki?

Speaking of which, he is Jen, who remembered that he had an interest in the Cali settlement.

"Brother Jin, would you like to go?... If you're busy, I'll be there."

Care for Jen, Elsa suggests, but Jen, after a little thought, decides to go here too, which is important.

"I see... do you want to come with me"

"Yeah."

Of course there could be no denial of Elsa, but rather he nodded with joy.

Jen and Elsa, Reiko, and Edgar used a transfer gate (warp gate) on the Eschenbach family property.

It is 8: 30 am local time as a result of time adjustments taking into account the jet lag.

"Welcome, Master Jin, Master Elsa"

Aal, who noticed his visit, came out and greeted him with a line.

"Is Saki here?

"Yes, you're in the lab"

One line of confirmation of Saki's whereabouts led him to Saki's lab with his feet.

"Sakey, are you there?

"There's one."

"I don't need both of you"

"That's terrible....... hmm? Terrible, is it?

With such a light-hearted slap, Saki let him peek into his face from the lab.

"Hey, Gin and Elsa. In a good place."

"Saki, what were you doing?

"I'm doing it, I want you to say. In a nutshell, it's a study of Tsukiyogusa."

It is a light harvesting plant used in constant night lights, known in the Cali settlement at the national entrance of Mitsuho.

Saki was also interested at the time of the visit.

So I wonder what has been harvesting the only 'Tsukiyogusa'.

"I want to know what ingredients Tsukiyogsa has that emit light."

He said he was trying to extract it.

"There are only a few acids, alkalis and solvents available, so I was thinking of going to Penglai Island if I can't do it this way."

The lab on Penglai Island has all the reagents I got from 700672, so that's less inconvenient.

"Then I wish I had done so from the beginning"

And Jen said, Saki smiled back bitterly.

"... but I had a reason not to either"

That's what I said, pointing my gaze at the back of the lab.

There.

"Hey, Gin, Elsa, long time no see"

There was a goose.

The naturalized goose was to be kept at the Eschenbach family until it became familiar with the country and had an outlook for life.

"Hey, Goose."

"Hello"

Looks like Goose is helping Saki experiment as an assistant.

"So, specifically, what are you doing?

"I mix the crushed tsukiyogusa with various" solvents "and see if it dissolves"

"Yeah. Specifically?

"Water, hot water, oil, vinegar, booze, and 'lime water'."

Saki, in addition to the knowledge gained in Knowledge Transcription (Transinfo), is reading a reference book edited by Old Man, so he now has about the same chemical knowledge as a high school student.

We're using that knowledge to do experiments.

"I see. Are you trying to dissolve it in liquid"

"Yeah, some of it seems to dissolve in the water."

The cells of the plant are surrounded by a robust tissue called 'cell walls' and are different from those of animals. There is also a slightly vague knowledge that this cell wall is made of cellulose…

"So that's it, Jin. And then it dissolves in hot water, and this is what we filtered through it."

Saki put the test tube up in her hand.

"This water... the aqueous solution is photoaccumulative!

"Isn't that amazing?"

The light storage component removed by shredding the tsukiyogsa will not dissolve in cold water, but it will increase the temperature and will dissolve well when the water is above 70°C.

Also, once dissolved, no precipitation appears to occur even if the temperature is lowered.

"When I boil this, I think I can collect light paint."

"I see."

Jen was pleased to receive a good tip about the emergency lighting.

Furthermore, the goose

"Is this something you can't grow in this country?

He said. If that can be done, it will be a major contribution.

Jens, who then boil the solution and are also present in experiments with concentrated ones.

"Oh, it's bright."

Concentration led to brighter luminescence.

"Kufu, I wish I could apply this to all night lights"

Saki looks happy too.

"What the hell kind of substance is that?

It is unfortunate that you do not know about unknown substances because the magic of 'Analyze' only allows you to find out what you know.

"I only found out it had nothing to do with free magic."

Only that it was not a magical phenomenon could be investigated with the cooperation of Aal, he said.

"That's good news."

As for Jen, who is looking for a light that doesn't depend on free magic (ether), that information was appreciated.

Jen and Elsa, who had lunch with Saki and Goose, followed the Eschenbach family.

"Now you've got the emergency lights."

"Mmm."

Two people facing each other at Jen's workshop, an institute in Penglai Island that is back.

"... not just spacecraft. It's good for the world, too."

"Yeah, we need to find out more about that. You can't just let Saki do it."

Successful cultivation of 'Tsukiyogusa' will provide inexpensive lights.

Apart from Goose, Jen intends to do it in Penglai as well.

"When it comes to cultivation, we need to find the best conditions."

Should we do the same with the environment, or should we change it?

If changed, what will be the content of the photoaccumulating material?

I have a lot to do, but I have to leave this to you too, old man.

"Brother Jin, are you in a bit of a hurry?

Elsa asked a little worried.

"Yeah, a little, maybe in a hurry"

"... Starship development is going well. As planned, yeah, a little early. And yet, why?

To that question, Jen answered with a face that did not float.

"Hi, I'm worried."

"Worried?"

"Oh. Anyway, even in my former world, space development and space travel were still developing. I'm trying to make that happen with magic. Because it's an unknown realm with no role model..."

"... yes"

Although still a little unconvinced, it was Elsa who snorted at Jen's explanation for once.
