Magi Craft Meister

51-08 Alpha

After considering it, Jen decided to secure a satellite alpha.

Alpha has no air, no water, no organisms.

"Still, there may be unknown germs and viruses."

Illuminate UV rays with the application of the engineering magic 'Light (Light)'.

Thereafter, "Sterile (Sterilizealung)" is used to sterilize.

Thanks to the high concentration of free magic hormone (ether), the processing took a very short time.

"All right, that's about it"

Only 'Atlas' can operate now.

If we can get the satellite Alpha near Hale, we can help the frigates Sirius, Prochion, Betelgius, and Vulcan.

"Plan's on."

At Jen's direction, 'Atlas' began its activities in line with the plan.

First, identify the centre of gravity of the 'Alpha' and determine a straight line through its centre of gravity and towards the direction of the hael.

Follow that straight line, put a "hole" in the alpha and embed the "Atlas" hull there to secure it. Of course the position of the hole will be in the opposite direction to that of the hael.

This completes the satellite spacecraft using Atlas as a propulsion vehicle.

Yes, the alpha is not spherical, but a moon shaped like a rock mass.

There, a 300-metre diameter hole was dug using 'Digging (Digg)', both an engineering magic and earthly attribute magic.

When some of the earthen stones that emerged at that time were examined in "Analysis (Analyze)," they were high-content misrilled silver ore.

"You can expect this."

Jen instructed him to keep the rocks he had dug up properly.

In satellite alpha, 'Atlas' fills and fine-tunes half that giant.

With less gravity, and work while adjusting the weight with 'gravitational magic', it's managed, albeit 300 meters in diameter.

The occupants, "Cosmos" 601-700, were unable to operate in this high concentration free magic (ether) environment, making the task difficult to navigate.

Still, in roughly three hours, the work required is over.

The rocks around "Atlas" are hung with "toughening (toughening)" to receive propulsion.

"All right, try your best."

By Jen's life, 'Atlas' opened up some of its propulsion.

When it comes to 'Atlas', 300 metres in diameter, it is only a tiny grain compared to the satellite alpha. The size of the alpha is 400 kilometers on the long side and 150 kilometers on the short side.

But the power hidden in 'Atlas' is uninterrupted.

enough to move the satellite alpha out of orbit.

Nevertheless, the first move is a trivial one. Beginning with 0.2G, we plan to gradually increase the engine output while making sure the surrounding rocks hold up and eventually take it up to 1G.

Though super powerful 'Atlas', 1G, about 10 meters per second is the best.

It also helps to make the magic conductor (Magi machine) efficient thanks to its dark free magic hormone (ether) concentration, and something is being done.

Another aid is the installation of Gravity Control Magnetic Devices (Gravitationers) in various parts of the Alpha, which generate anti-gravity in the direction away from the solar seran.

However, this is disposable and breaks under overload after using it for less than an hour.

Still, after an hour, these actions together can accelerate up to 36 kilometers per second.

"The first thing you need to do is stay away from the solar seran."

Because we can't help other ships not to get out of the High Concentration Free Magnetic (Ether) Area.

Priority was given to exiting the safety zone first, even if the direction was slightly off.

Three hours passed.

The satellite alpha is completely out of orbit of Zipert and traveling in the opposite direction to the solar seran.

Slightly deviated in direction to the top of the sky (Yellow Door Arctic), but to a later modifiable extent.

The speed also exceeded 100 km/h and 'Atlas' temporarily cut the acceleration.

Because there is a lot of cosmic dust in this universe, and a lot of trouble can happen if you collide with the satellite alpha.

That very thing is that the orbit goes crazy, and the damage to the alpha.

Especially since I want to avoid damage as much as possible.

It is believed that the higher the speed, the greater the amount of damage, so the more it was kept.

"Still, in a day and a half, you'll reach normal free magic hormone (ether) concentrations in the universe."

In that case, it belongs to us, and Jen was relieved that the first phase of the plan was a success.

"... wait, huh?

Jen, who was studying on the subject of developing a more effective 'Free Magnetin (Ether) Shield', had an idea.

"What about the metal that was in a very high concentration of free magic (ether)?... No, isn't it? If you refine it in an expensive environment,"

The question arises as to the nature of the metal to be produced from the satellite alpha of Zipert.

"If you refined it in an environment with high levels of free magic hormone (ether), I'm sure your affinity with free magic hormone (ether) is good, too?

When Jen was a kid, I remember an article I saw on TV or in a magazine about refining metal in a gravity-free universe...

According to this, purity can be increased because refining in vacuum can not contain oxygen, and it can be homogeneous because it is difficult to parse metals of different specific gravity when alloying each other…… It should have been.

"Metal tissue isn't affected by gravity either, so maybe we can do something homogeneous and fine."

With engineering magic, we can produce the same effect, but Jen thought it was huge that the material itself would be of high quality first.

And if it's easier to contain free magic (ether) instead of oxygen free, that's something you don't even wish for.

"If you go through the High Concentration Free Magnetin (Ether) Area, I'd like to experiment with it."

He was Jen, who waited for the hour.

The speed of "Alpha" propelled by "Atlas" maintains a speed of 100 kilometers per second, and in a few hours it is scheduled to reach the universe of normal free magic (ether) concentrations.

"Don't let them see 'Alpha' with these eyes"

As for Jen, I can't help but look forward to it.

Of course I love making things, Jen, but I also like materials, especially metal materials.

It may be because the behavior of using it to create something later comes with it.

"Father, please don't go to the 'Alpha' yourself until the detailed investigation is complete."

"... oh, I know"

To Reiko's advice, Jen replies with a few moments open.

"We can't say enough surveys in high free magic (ether) concentrations."

I have to obey Jen because that is the best way to say it.

That's how two and a half hours later, Satellite Alpha finally arrived in front of Jens.

"Adriana" and the craft "Vulcan" also sail in tune with speed.

In a few minutes the relative speed went to zero.

"My Lord, I'm going to send Cosmos 551 to 600 from Vulcan to Alpha to investigate."

"Yeah, do it"

Jen to approve the proposal from the 'Grand Sage' immediately.

Shortly afterwards, the 'Vulcan' hatch opened and straw and the 'Cosmos' golems headed for the satellite Alpha.

Satellite Alpha, to say the least, has a long circular shape. It is like a rugby ball.

Of course, there is no air, so the surface is swamped because of collisions with UV rays and space dust.

Fifty 'cosmos' golems to its surface descended and began their investigation.

The surface, as well as the internal investigation, will proceed.

Because there's not necessarily a dangerous pathogen spore or anything lurking behind a porous rock.

Nevertheless, it cannot be investigated without about 100 percent, so samples will be taken and examined in several places.

Such an investigation takes about four hours.

In the meantime, Jen waits in a twitch as to whether he is yet or not.

Because of this, Cosmos 551 sent a few surveyed ores to 'Adriana' using a transfer gate (warp gate).

"Whoa, don't be shy."

Jen was delighted with the procedure and decided to quickly analyze the ore in a laboratory within 'Adriana'.
