Magi Craft Meister

Jen was in a lab within 'Adriana' analyzing the ore sent by 'Alpha'.

"Yeah, I mean again... somewhere, it's different"

It was a brass mine, a copper ore, that was sent.

It looks golden, and with the yellow iron ore, an amateur says, 'I found gold!' It is a mineral that can easily be mistaken.

It's easy to tell. It can be seen by rubbing (rubbing) a white barbecue plate called the "strip marks plate".

Gold leaves gold, brass ore leaves green black, and yellow iron ore leaves black marks (strip marks).

Aside from that, the brass mine in front of Jen is made of copper, iron and sulfur, according to Analysis (Analyze). The copper content is about 35 percent.

Nevertheless, there is no such thing as pure brass ore first, and because of the mixing of other rocks, the copper content as a whole becomes about 0.5 percent.

However, the copper content throughout this ore was excellent, as much as nearly two percent.

"But... that's somewhat uncomfortable.... 'Analysis'... is this...?

Re-analysis showed that the copper contained seems to be degenerating.

"'Extraction'"

To ascertain his discomfort, Jen tried to remove the copper.

200 grams of copper mass can be produced from roughly ten kilometres of brass ore.

It is an ultra-high purity copper, called oxygen-free copper.

"Is this copper any different...?" Analyze "… hmmm… maybe…"

"Father, did you find out anything?

Reiko, who was cleaning up the mine (like this) (= Ore (Kasu)) after taking out the copper, asked.

"Yeah. I don't know what to say...... yeah, misrilled silver against silver, looks like it's copper like"

"Mithrilled copper, do you mean?

"Oh, no, I don't know about that naming, but that's the place"

It's not just copper, it's more responsive to magic than digits, Jen explained.

"Normal copper, unlike silver, shouldn't have such a good affinity for free magic (ether)."

Jen remembered his former companion nostalgically, saying that if Saki were here, he would happily go into research.

"I wonder if this is what happens to all copper in areas where free magic (ether) is thick, or if there are any production conditions...?

One more question has arisen.

"So, maybe some iron...?" Extraction "

Jen trying to get more iron out of the mine.

This one turned out to be about 170 grams of iron.

"Hmm, nice iron"

Iron changes more in properties due to impurities than copper.

Pure iron, which should also be called oxygen free iron, was removed.

"This too...... is it made of materials like misrills?" Analyze "… I knew it"

This iron was also found to have a very high affinity with free magic (ether).

"Perhaps some of the neutrons have been replaced by magicians"

Jen guessed that if it were to have the same properties as misrilled silver, that's what it is.

"Do you think the application is blurry... more than that..."

If all the metals produced by satellite alpha had these properties, Jen thought it might be difficult to use them the other way around.

Good affinity with free magic (ether) means a high shielding effect, as well as a high degree of enhancement by magic.

"If I thought of materials with a high shielding effect, I would have gotten them from an unexpected place."

That point should please you.

"Father, I have one question."

That's when Reiko bumped into the question.

"What is it, Reiko"

"What happens if we leave ore in a high free magic (ether) concentration area in its normal environment if it's all of that nature?"

"I see..."

In that case, I wonder if it would return to normal material. If it returns, the question arises as to how long it will be so.

Mithrilled silver is stable, but other elements cannot be determined to be the same.

"You might want to refine as soon as you can."

By refining it, Jen is likely to be able to fix the affinity with free magic (ether).

"Then let me refine it now"

Cosmos 551 to 600 in Alpha can use engineering magic. Let them secure the material and send it through the transfer gate.

"You can call the artisans from Penglai if you need them."

There came reports that the frigates Sirius, Prochion and Bethelgius were back.

"Looks like you've completed an approximate measurement"

That said, we did not measure the entire high free magic (ether) concentration area, but only the local area centered on the dipert.

Nevertheless, the data were gathered only to be able to deduce that the area in question appeared to be spread over a spherical shape.

"I'm interested in whether this area is expanding or shrinking..."

If it is expanding, we will have to seek a solution as soon as possible on one point: when will it extend to the orbit of Ars and Hale?

"Thank you, but let's ask the three ships to continue their measurements. Right, for a year now."

Jen thought that if measured for as long as possible, even if there were errors, he would be able to grasp the trend.

'Okay. I will do that.'

The three ships were built by Jack on the Moon (Unique), but since they are under Jen's command, they command from the Grand Sage because of Jen's instructions.

Thus, 'Sirius', 'Prochion' and 'Bethelgius' were to be tasked with measuring the range changes in the high free magic (ether) concentration area between Hale and the solar seran.

It will be a year from now that there will be quite a result.

Meanwhile, at Jen's behest, in satellite alpha, refining of metal materials had begun.

Gold, silver, copper, iron, zinc, tin, lead, light silver (titanium), aluminum, misrilled silver, adamantite, etc. are increasingly refined and sent at transfer gates (warp gates).

"Adriana" was sending it off to the East Coast region of Hale. Because this is a region where Jen is going to create a base sooner or later.

There is also a reason that this is the only place where the transfer gate (warp gate) is located on the hall. We will eventually set up such a material storage area in the Central Basin (tentative name).

At the same time, Jen also looked at samples of gold and silver to make sure that they also had a very high affinity with free magic (ether).

"Gold, silver, zinc and tin are the same up to adamantite... that's an interesting phenomenon"

As I've written before, high affinity means good enhancement efficiency with magic, which means a high shielding effect.

"The hyper adamantite made with this adamantite will probably be the strongest and hardest metal in the known world"

Soon he was Jen, who secretly decided to recreate Reiko's skeleton with this.

"The magic conductivity of copper is also amazing... it's like normal misrillic silver"

There is a high degree of affinity with free magic (ether), and there seems to be no exception.

"In addition to" Magi "and" Hyper, "you mean the third high-performance material... what if we decided to crown it with" Etha ""

Ethernet is one of the standards for computer networks.

The ether is an English reading in the sense that the ether is biased.

"Etha gold, Etha iron, Etha adamantite...... is it?

Reiko uses Jen's suggestion to call for new materials.

"Hmmm...... that sounds so unnatural when you hear it, you say it's a bad story. Let's not crown Etha."

I said it myself, but Jen will stop immediately because it doesn't seem to fit.

"I figured I'd try to crown the 'ether' as it is..."

"Ether Adamantite," "Ether Silver," "Ether Copper"...... I feel a little, but I still feel uncomfortable, Jen.

"Oh, naming at all is a pain in the ass!

Jen consoled herself that it was good to worry about what seemed irrelevant because her biggest concern was gone.
