Magi Craft Meister

Footage of the seabed is sent one after the other.

The interim report and the old man said, but because we ate a lot of time on the way, it is becoming a status report in half real time.

"Were you also entering the sea as' Origins'?

"Um, I wonder if you've been monitoring the distortions and effects of the crust when you stuff the nucleus of the planet with super heavy matter for a while."

"Yeah, I think Hannah's right, too."

Jens follows the screen with each opinion in his mouth.

Now, 'Mermaid 1', which is sending us footage, was diving to a point 1500 meters deep.

That's the deepest sea around here, too. Excluding, of course, trenches.

"The Penglai coast is about 1400 to 1600 meters deep."

Jen said.

"I guess the ocean floor east of the Lauren continent is about this deep"

"The trenches seem to be over 10,000 meters."

Hannah supplemented Jen's line.

"10,000 meters..."

If we're going that far, it looks like it would be quicker to do something about it by combining the Peeping Telescope (Peeper) and the Long Wand of Power (Force Rod), Jen thinks.

Exactly because of the speculation that 'Original Ancestors' would not be doing anything in the 10,000 meters deep sea either......

"If you just observe it, you'll be able to manage it in the junction."

If we invert the junction that causes even the strongest metal, Adamantite, to molecularly compress, we should be able to withstand 10 times its water pressure instead of 10,000 meters. In theory.

"Oh, what's that?

"... diou... no, that's 'kraken'"

Two Krakens were in formation in the depths of the deep sea.

You look like you're taking a break from that.

We all began to look at it with interest because we are completely unaware of the habits of giant head and foot...

"... don't move"

"Don't move."

"It doesn't move. Boring."

Stay still for fifteen minutes. I was just tired of watching it, and Jens asked me to show you another place.

And Old Man gave instructions to 'Mermaid 1', and the screen began to show another place.

"Hmmm... Mermaid... no, there's no 'Arm Fish'"

"Jen, I don't think that 'Arm Fish' is in this deep sea."

"Mr. Goose, why is that?

"Yeah, look at that shape and your eyes and you'll see more or less. You must live deep enough to reach enough light."

"I see..."

Maddie is also treated as a deep-sea fish, but it lives at depths ranging from about 50 to 200 metres.

"Armfish (Wonggi)" looked a little like Maddie because of its shape and the size of his eyes.

So they live about 200 meters deep at best, Goose said.

"Right, I see. … but let's continue because we can investigate this area."

"Yeah, I agree with Jin about that, too. There may be some unexpected discoveries."

"Hmm.... I've already discovered two submarine-like" Original. "

"So is that."

Watching footage of the seabed as we had that conversation, there was another new discovery.

"Whoa, what's that?

"... the third submarine?

It was a cylindrical artifact.

The approximate size can be seen by comparing the "Mermaid Troops" acting with the "Mermaid 1" that is sending us the footage.

According to that, it's about five meters in diameter and 20 meters long. Both ends of the cylindrical shape are inflated into the hemisphere rather than flat, so it can be seen that this is a pressure-resistant structure.

"Is this from the Originals too?

"So far, I have to think about it."

"You need to pull this up too."

Thus, Jens acquired three types of submarine or deep-sea equipment that appear to belong to the Origin.

Now around the same time, discussions were underway in Avalon about 'harmonization of standards'.

"I'd like to discuss' Longitude 'next"

"Longitude" and "Latitude" were brought about 400 years ago by Jen... again with knowledge that should have been lost, to be precise... it is a concept.

It is an instrument for pointing to one point on the Ars, which is essential for the international community.

Although "latitude" can be determined without problems, "longitude" was not determined.

That is because we have made the reference "zero degrees" into any country.

Ever since the inauguration of the 'World Conference', it had been an undecided advance on the agenda.

By the way, Jen uses a world map where Penglai (the institute of) will have a longitude of zero degrees, but he hasn't pushed it.

In other words, when we publish it, we avoid it because Penglai will be identified.

"He wants to zero 'Lake Asur', which is pretty much at the heart of 'Conference Country'..."

"No, no, because then it's a hassle to mix the east and west longitudes. This is a 'congressional country', except for the former kingdom of Leonard, as it passes through our country on the eastern tip..."

"Then my country on the western end..."

"No, if the four principalities join the conference, your country will no longer be on the western tip. This is still based on the eastern edge..."

"Oh, my God, it's the muscles that decide the center."

"It doesn't. Again..."

"No......"

…………

At this rate. Theon sighed in his heart as he listened to these exchanges, even nearly 200 years after becoming a 'Nord Federation' delegate.

(... Ha... When this agenda comes, each country won't give in... I wish Jen would decide on that, but I guess it won't either...)

Even as Jen, when Penglai is known to have a longitude of 0 degrees, it is easier to locate it, so it is not hairy to spread it to the public. That hasn't changed 400 years ago or now.

But as for Theon, I dared to ask Jen D for his opinion.

"Yes, it seems to be in dispute, so I'd like to have your opinion on Lord Jin once around here."

"… well, I think it's a good idea to decide to make it easier to use once you're away from what country."

"Do you have any feedback specifically?

Theon asked for further input. Even she doesn't want to prolong this.

"Right...... why don't you think about it from the point of view of going through a point where the date change line is easy to understand?

"That's certainly a new point of view."

A date change line is a line such as where a day on that planet begins. Of course there is no visible line drawn.

Let's say that line goes through the area where people live.

That changes the date every time you cross that (virtual) line. This is not the preferred thing to do if you try it as a country.

Incidentally, the Earth's date change line runs through the Pacific Ocean.

And instead of a straight line as in the meridian line, if there is an island on that line, the date change line is bent to accommodate it.

A country called Kiribati in the South Pacific had a date change line through the middle of the country until 1995 A.D. In other words, the dates were different within the same country.

The date change line has now been considerably bent to accommodate.

"I see..."

"That was a blind spot..."

"Think about it from that point of view"

Jen D's opinion seemed to change the direction of the meeting only slightly.
