70-13 Seabed base installation

Preparations for the installation of a "submarine base" were well under way in Penglai.

"If we're going to make it this high, we just need to make it a 'high pressure' submarine, not a 'base', or a spaceship."

"Um, there's a point in what Reinhardt says, but there you go, you know, obsessed"

As for Jen, he was only a 'base', and his mobility was an 'aside'.

"I'd like to install one, including the meaning of a test case first."

"That might be a good idea. You might find something that you didn't know about on your desk."

That's why I decided to install 'Seabed Base 1' at a point on the equator, 20 degrees west on a map of Penglai.

The procedure involves sending 'Seabed Base 1' by means of a forwarder to the sea at that point. Marine 401 remains aboard as a personnel.

At the same time, send in 50 'Mermaid Squads' as installation personnel.

"Submarine Base 1" dives on its own as it is. "Marine 401" checks for problems in the process and reports to the old gentleman in Penglai.

Once you reach the bottom of the ocean, fine tune the installation location with your instructions.

If positioning is complete, Mermaid Squad digs a hemispherical crevice with Undersea Base 1 embedded in the seabed.

Insert "Subsea Base 1" into its crease and fix it when the horizontal adjustment is complete.

Perform an operational test of "Subsea Base 1".

Approximately two hours from here.

This is what it feels like.

The most time consuming is diving. The next step is to maintain the installation location.

Suddenly, we can't send them into the sea.

Jen said.

The transporter cannot send objects into solids or liquids.

It is possible to create a vacuum 'bubble' at the destination using the 'Force Rod', but when it was released, it suddenly applied 95 bar (gauge pressure) from 1 bar, so Jen also hesitated.

By the way, what is gauge pressure? Treat atmospheric pressure as 0. In other words, it shows' how much pressure has been applied 'to one bar, which is atmospheric pressure.

Water depth gauges and pressure gauges used by divers are displayed at gauge pressure.

That's why, first, "Seabed Base 1", boarded by "Marine 401", was sent to the said waters, and 50 "Mermaid Troops" were transferred without intermittent hair.

"Subsea Base 1", after the waterfall, was poured into the ballast tank, increasing the overall specific gravity to 1.2, which is heavier than the standard specific gravity of seawater of 1.023, and also began the dive using the "Force Generator".

Its speed is about 0.5 meters per second. That means you can dive to 950 meters deep in less than 32 minutes.

"Yeah, the distortion of the body due to the increase in water pressure is within the assumption."

"Thanks to Adamantite's structure, I guess."

Jen and the others are checking the information sent from "Seabed Base 1".

So far it has only confirmed what is within the assumptions.

"So that's going well."

"That's right. I hope there's nothing unexpected going on."

While Jens was watching such a conversation, 'Seabed Base 1' grounded out to the bottom of the sea. Stable with the Force Generator as is.

Immediately, the "Mermaid Squad" we were diving with began processing the installation site. Engineering magic "Digging" can be done in just a few moments.

There was little discrepancy in the position and it was just about 40 metres west of where 'Seabed Base 1' was installed.

The installation location is complete in 15 minutes. By the way, the mines that came out at that time are supposed to be sent to Penglai as samples.

"Seabed Base 1" traveled 40 meters on its own and fitted into a hemispherical contour.

"All right, if you make a horizontal adjustment, it's fixed."

This took five minutes.

If horizontal occurs, fill the gap with some of the earlier mines (like this) and fix the "Seabed Base 1".

Engineering magic "bonding" was also used for this.

"Okay, it's an operational test"

"Kufu, I'm going to see the miners they're sending me."

"I think I'd like this one."

"Then I'll go out with Saki."

"I'm going that way, too"

"I'm this way"

"I'm here too."

Jen, Reinhardt, Elsa and Berche are views of 'Undersea Base 1'.

Saki, Goose, and Hannah were to go see the mines they were sending (this way).

"Yeah, this is the rock and ore under the sea. Hey."

You don't look the same.

Just in case, it is sent in a transparent cubic zirconia container. Because if you have an unknown pathogen, it's not good.

It was in "Seabed Base 1" that it was boxed.

So far there are no organisms, so no problems. After this, confirm the pathogen.

"'Analyze', 'Analyze', 'Analyze' … nothing particularly wrong, just in case I hang 'Sterilization'"

It was "Craftsman (Smith) 101" acting as an assistant who looked me up.

"Thank you. Do you understand the composition?

"Yes, Master Saki. Rocks are granite and speckled rocks, including quartz, long stone, angular flash stone, radiant stone and black mica. The minerals were magnetite, red iron, crystal, rosemary."

"I see, iron and manganese are the main ones"

"Looking forward to the deposit, Kufu."

"You want a sample of the Magic Crystal."

Since no unknown pathogens were also found, they will continue to be collected with caution in quarantine.

Meanwhile, Jen and I are observing what's going on at 'Seabed Base 1'.

"Yeah, each feature is fine"

"There doesn't seem to be any pathogens either. Well, let's leave the operation to the Golems for the time being. Oh, let's do" Sterilization "regularly."

Since Jen is a complex and Elsa and Reinhardt and others are 'artificial humans (homunculus)', it can be said first of all that it is unlikely that he will be adversely affected by pathogens, but more stringent measures are needed than the possibility of infecting other Ars humans from them.

"No problem with other features."

Jen nodded contentedly.

"Can I say that in the future, on duty......?... Anyway, let's have" Seabed Base 1 "packed with two" Marines "each alternately. All right, old man?

"Yes, your husband (My Road). I accept."

Now one of the detection networks will have started running.

It will still take some time to build the network, but we took the first step.

Further reports come in from you. [M]

"My Lord," one of the example "Original" submarines will arrive soon. How about that?

"Right...... Take me to the dock in Tatsumi Bay."

"Oh, you're looking forward to it."

"Mmm."

Jens is very busy.

Penglai was now vibrant.
