Magi Craft Meister

39-37 Trouble

The scene shown in the large "Magic Screen (Magic Screen)" was a good first half sight.

Instead of going around the island of Io this time, they are supposed to come around another 'island of True' ahead of them.

At that time, a route is set to turn first to the right between the islands of Io and Tru, then to the left around the island of Tru, and then back again to the left between the islands of Tru and Io, that is, to draw the 'eight letters'.

Now the eight-boat ship was diseased towards its island of Io.

"Gun Valley!

"Marcia, don't lose! I'm on it!!

"Leeche, this year is the winner!

The island of Io was also packed with spectators, thoughtfully cheering on the ship and the athletes.

The order now is three, one, six, seven, four, eight, two, five. Zeke 7, Mauble in purple swimsuit is ranking up.

The water wheel on her boat is wider and smaller in diameter than the others. The golem being driven also had quite a rigorous design.

"That doesn't sound like a Marcia Workshop ship."

When Jen spoke as a special guest, the moderator reacted instantly.

"As Jin said, Zeke 7, Miss Mauble's ship is the Marcia Workshop because of its basic design, but it was the workshop in the Kingdom of Cellular that made it."

"I see, that's why you're shaping a little bit."

The eight-boat ship made its way through the 'Gate' in an unsafe order and into the course of circling around Io Island.

"Marcia, sister, I'm working on it"

"Right.... Guys, that's amazing."

Hannah and Lisia are nailed to the race of the first ship they see.

"Ships made in the Kingdom of Celluloa...... highly complete after all"

Elsa, on the other hand, was carefully observing Zeke 7's ship.

(Sure, don't let the atmosphere of the Kingdom of Celluloa scatter. But the most important thing is the material)

Jen also silently observes and analyzes Zeke 7's ship.

(The surface is metal. Probably light silver)

Wooden frame with light silver exterior. Jen thinks it's a good way to reduce the viscous resistance of water.

And if you consider strength and weight, light silver is above wood. Because the percentage of strength increase due to engineering magic "hardening" or "toughening (toughening)" is higher in metal than in wood.

This probably comes from differences in molecular structure.

The degree of enhancement by the "net" of free magic (ether) means that light silver with simple metal bonds is more effective than wood, which is a complex organic matter.

It can be described as a unique ingenuity of the magically advanced Kingdom of Celluloa.

(Plus, the shape of that waterwheel...)

Except for what Marcia made, it is a very sophisticated shape. Probably repeated the prototype over and over again, exploring the optimal shape.

Smaller diameter and wider width means high rotation type.

(I see, the golem is also small. I guess it's lighter for that. But the dwindling power drops. rpm up to cover that, or something like that)

I can't say which is better in general, so the result will be at the end of the competition, Jen thinks.

And.

(Marcia's ship… rather than a screw? Don't feel like there's a subtle brace out there...... maybe it's not balanced)

Marcia uses a four-piece blade screw. If the four blades, their size, weight, twist angle, surface condition, etc. are not balanced, a brake will occur when rotating at high speeds, vibrating or straining the shaft.

(They were adjusting yesterday as well... I guess it was a bump production setup)

That was Jen, who was a little worried.

"Pulled out!?

Now Zeke 6, Marcia's ship, was pulled out by Zeke 7, Mauble's ship.

"Do it! But I can't lose this one either. Arrow!"

"Yes, Master Marcia"

Marcia decided to increase her speed by one step, saying that the golem Jen worked on, Arrow, couldn't possibly lose.

"We're all going around Io Island now!... Ah, it took me to unplug Zeke 7, Zeke 6. Fast, fast!"

Cheers up.

"I pulled it out! Miss Zeke 7 Mauble, rise to third place! But Zeke Six, Miss Marcia hasn't lost either! The speed is increasing! Lined up!! Lined up!!

The Magic Projection Window (Magic Screen) shows Dead Heat, and the audience is excited about this hallway through the competition.

Zeke 6 and 7 circled the island of Io side by side, cutting the rudder towards the island of True.

At that time. Zeke 6, it appears that Marcia's ship has vibrated slightly, and soon afterwards, the speed suddenly drops.

"Ahhh! What's up, Zeke 6!? Suddenly stalled!!

(Did you lose the screw axis?

Jen guessed from the behavior.

Rotating objects vibrate when they are unbalanced. This also depends on the RPM, sometimes the most vibrating RPM.

When dehydrating in an electric washing machine, etc., the dehydration tank will get bumped if it is packed poorly, that phenomenon.

This rash caused the fatigue of the Marcia boat's screw axis to be destroyed.

"Oh, shit!

Marcia was checking the screw axis and chewing the umbilical cord.

Yesterday, I made an adjustment to the "horizontal water wheel" = screw, but there was a slight distortion on the screw axis at that time.

While I was realizing that, I was angry at my detours for not taking any measures.

"We need to fix this in a hurry"

However, the tired screw shaft is about to break.

And there's no material here to fix it.

"You're in trouble... I'd like to thicken the shaft once if I could..."

Marcia blurred as she stared at the screw axis that was about to screw off losing to torque (rotational force).

"Dear Marcia, temporarily, let's use my left arm"

Arrow has made a hell of a suggestion there.

"Hey, what!?

To Marcia's surprise, Arrow tells her pale.

"My skeleton is light silver. Using that, you can repair and strengthen the shaft at the same time. Fortunately, it's the legs that are turning the screw, so there's no obstruction without one arm"

"Arrow......"

"Master Jin is in need, so I think you can fix it as soon as the competition is over."

The other ships pull out one after the other, beside us having such a conversation.

"Dear Marcia, make your decision."

"... ok. Arrow, sorry."

"No, never mind"

Arrow can use elementary level engineering magic.

And adequate repairs were possible at the primary level.

After less than five minutes, the screw axis came back to normal, no, more enhanced and revived.

"We'll still make it. Let's hurry."

Marcia in the cockpit nodded as Arrow sat in the driver's seat said.

"No more detailed maneuvers. You're the bottom line anyway, so you just have to go as far as you want. Arrow, I asked you!

"Yes, leave it to me"

As Arrow stepped on the drive pedal, the screw spun out momentum. Zeke 6 flies out like it's been played.

"You're done with first aid repairs, Zeke 6, and we've started sailing again! But the ranking is already at the bottom, the difference between 7th and 7th is more than a kilometer open!

"We'll see how we can fix it."

The MC and commentator had uttered those words, but Jen watched Arrow and Marcia complain to a means that could be described as a Kankon's throw.

(Good luck, Marcia. Arrow, I asked for it)

From the standpoint of being a guest, Jen cheered in her heart, unable to speak up and support her.
