Magi Craft Meister

56-17 Research and time

Jen began to explain to Saki by exchanging speculations about resource depletion in the hale, what seemed to be the cause of it.

"First of all, most of the Originals were buried in space."

"A space burial?

"Yeah.... I mean, put the body on a spaceship and send it out in the direction of the solar seran"

"Oh, I see"

In that case, the material used for the spacecraft or the coffin cannot be recovered. We will inevitably consume it.

"There's hardly a graveyard left in this hall."

"Sure, if we keep doing that for thousands of years, we might run out of resources."

"Then"

Jen began to explain the following possibilities:

"Prior to the depletion of resources, Original had launched a number of exploratory spacecraft for space exploration."

"Oh, that's mostly unreturned, too, isn't it?

That's what I'm talking about.

This, too, will certainly consume resources if they continue for thousands of years.

"But..."

Jen goes on even further.

"It's also weird that it depletes in about that much, sure."

"What do you mean?

"One more thing, unless it's also some definitive trouble, I'm not convinced the resources are going to run out so far"

However, there was no record of this, and 700672 was unknown.

"Really..."

"So, from here on out, it's more of a hypothesis that might already be called creation... you hear me?

"I've heard so much about you, I want you to listen to me"

"Okay."

Jen nodded and began to talk about herself.

"The first, though not on record, is that some of the Originals went somewhere on a spaceship. I think we've brought up a lot of resources to aim for a place as far away as it could take generations"

"I see, there can be...?

Saki nodded and showed it too.

"Second. The hypothesis that" Origin "used the technology to convert matter into energy and did something."

In addition to the energy obtained from free magic (ether), transforming matter into energy yields enormous amounts of energy.

"I considered it a bit with you, old man, but it meant that even experiments beyond time could have done it. It's only possible, though."

The energy you consumed to send Jen's body back 400 years ago was enormous.

Most of this was energy from free magic (ether), which took 400 years to accumulate, but it could have been a little easier if substances were also used in combination.

"Ha ha, it wouldn't be weird to do that kind of research if you were an Original."

I wonder if this is likely, Saki admitted.

"Third. There's no proof of this, and it's pretty absurd, but someone embezzled the resources."

When I got here, it was close to paranoia, but Jen said and laughed.

"Um, anyway, it's true that Hale doesn't have much resources, and I know I can't be sure,"

Saki also seemed satisfied with Jen's explanation for now.

"So, that's enough, let's do some research on new materials"

"Unusually high affinity with free magic (ether)" material.

"I hear Jin initially named it 'Ether Silver' and 'Ether Copper'."

Saki with a slightly frightened atmosphere.

"I'm crowning 'Neo' now, so give me a break."

"Kufu, that's good.... What do you know?

"Oh, just being stable"

Assuming it was because it was in a high concentration of free magic (ether) area as one of the causes generated, it was possible to gradually return to normal material once stored at normal concentrations, Jen explained.

"The rest is almost unfinished."

"Kufu, that's worth it!

Saki showed her motivation by gesturing her short sleeved arms further around.

"Oh, speaking of which, this didn't happen because you had ore in a high concentration of free magic (ether) area, but before you became an ore... I was guessing it was because it was in that area from the state of the magma"

Jen remembered just one more thing and told Saki.

"Oh, that's an interesting hypothesis. Thank you, Jin."

Jen to Saki like that,

"Hey, what happened to the research I've been doing on The Huge Hundred Foot (Gigantopeder) Crust?

"I've set it apart once and for all. The report should be compiled by you, old man."

"I remember talking about free magic (ether), but you've used that material in the Magic Reservoir before, haven't you?

Jen said what she remembered. Saki's answer to that is:

"Oh, there you are. But how much do you think I'd use?

That was the question.

"Uh..."

I think I made it to a AA battery size, so 7 cubic centimeters per bottle.

The crust of a giant hundred feet (gigantopeder) is 20 cm in the thick part of the 50-metre class and 5 cm in the thin part. 10 cm on average.

Approximating this with a cylinder 50 metres long and 5 metres in diameter, it is approximately 38 million cubic centimeters.

The Magic Reservoir (Mana Tank), which can be taken from a single car, will be roughly 5 million copies in anticipation of L.A.

for 100,000 bodies as I prepared 50 bottles per body......

There are no 10,000 Golems or Automata Dolls in Penglai combined. More than 90% of the time.

"I get it. I had to equip them all, so you were thinking about using them."

That's what I'm talking about.

Elsa came after Saki made a small run to the lab to research new materials.

"What's your alternative to tea?

"Oh, I think I'll take it."

Jen, who was talking and thirsty, received a replacement for her barley tea and took a sip.

"Is Elsa's research progressing?

"Mmm."

But there are many difficult problems, says Elsa.

"Plant opponent research needs to be done carefully, no"

In that regard, being a homunculus made me not care about time, I said.

"For example?"

"The chopped branches will soon have engineering magic working, but the chopped branches shouldn't be dead yet. This reason, or something."

"Oh, I see"

'Insertion tree' that cuts branches and puts them on the ground to increase. This is only possible because the branch has not died since it was cut, so how can engineering magic work as soon as it is cut?

"I talked to Brother Jin a while ago, and maybe you're right."

"Hmm, that's a tough problem for sure"

"Mmm. But it's fun to think about. There's plenty of time, from"

"Right.... talk to me whenever you're tired of thinking about it."

"Thanks"

Thus Elsa also seemed to work in research.
