"Competitor's base reboots"

"Synchronized activation device, check normal operation"

"Submarine, Startup Test Execution.... 1 of 3 ships is inoperable and needs to be repaired. 1 of 2 ships has an operating rate of 98%, no problems. 1 ship has an operating rate of 81 percent, needs to be maintained"

"Contact your competitor's base.... it doesn't work. Contact again. No communication. Possible anomaly (irregular) occurrence. Investigations Needed '

"Commencement of environmental redevelopment within our base"

"Golem activation for maintenance. Leave the malfunctioning individuals alone and prioritize on-base maintenance '

Such a directive was issued and the undiscovered base on the eastern coast of the former Kingdom of Leonard was reactivated.

This base was in pretty good condition, and thanks to having its own maintenance system, it still has about 80% of its original functionality today.

And most importantly, this base was an 'autonomous base'.

In other words, "Admin Magic Brains" had it all under control, and "Origin" was not "Master (Master)" but "Owner (Owner)".

Perhaps more often than not, 'Owner', 'Original Ancestor', took a trip to this base and just watched the game.

Although 'Agate Base' was similar in that sense.

The best feature of this base was that it could act even in the absence of the 'owner (owner)'.

I kept track of all the battles I fought in my absence so that I could view them later.

Therefore, even if the owner is gone, this base is still looking for someone to fight against.

"Submarine 2 ready for launch."

"Soldier outfit 95 percent movable, no problem"

"Replace Competitor Base Investigation with Departure"

"Copy that. Number two, go."

"Launch"

Jen and the 'elders' completed their investigation and were lenient at 'Agate Base'.

"Thanks to you, I have a general idea"

"No what. I appreciate being able to touch the remains of my 'masters'."

Thanks to Malika, too.

"You're welcome..."

There, a report came in from the base's management brainchild, Agate.

"Master Malika, we have an emergency."

"What's the matter?

"One submarine belonging to a previously competing base is approaching."

"Yeah?... What's the purpose?

"This will be a battle with the submarines belonging to Agate Base."

"... why by now?

"You must have found out by some means that this base has been rebooted."

"Sounds like a pretty strong (did) base, huh?

"Yes. The base and the base's results are 259 wins, 408 losses and 5 draws in 672 fights. Winning is about 38 percent."

"Strong... you mean?

'Yes. He's the strongest opponent I've ever been in a competition with.'

……

Jen and "The Elder" decided to leave the interaction with "Agate" to Malika and try to grasp the situation first.

"'Elder', what was the occupancy rate of each facility on this base?

"Uhm. The part I (I) saw was about 60%"

"That's about the part I saw. Even if you don't have a problem supporting your daily life, you're in the way of fighting, right?

"There will be. Now, the submarine at this base is not ready to launch."

"You were."

Perhaps the "Original (Original) -like submarine" is for simulated combat, but Jen had decided that he would not be able to give half of his original performance due to poor maintenance.

Even if we let him go out in that state, he'll lose light.

"Speaking of which, what happens when you lose?

The situation swallowed, so Jen decided to ask 'Agate'.

"When I lost a battle against an enemy base, they were scoring points"

"Point?"

"Yes, if you sink a ship, you get 1 point. If you earn 10 points, you get one of their belongings."

"Original ancestors" also do surprisingly nasty things, Jen thought.

"So, what's the point now?

"Yes, there are nine points for the base over there and four points for this one."

"Will they charge me if I lose this time..."

"That's what happens."

"What's a possession? Whatever?

'Basically, the other party chooses and demands. Nevertheless, it was an implicit understanding not to demand anything too big or too precious'

"Or so it is."

They don't want to give me this base, give me one submarine, etc.

"What kind of things have you exchanged in the past?

'Yes. That's a work of art. Those things are almost gone now. And then there's the furniture. This also leaves the minimum necessary and has been taken'

"Ha ha..."

The lack of eyesight on this base seems to have been for some reason.

"Assuming, what happens if we lose this time?

'... unknown. You didn't bring in Lady Malika's personal belongings, did you?

"Uh, yes."

"I thought if I did, I'd give you a couch or a table."

"... there's probably no payee over there, right? Wouldn't you be able to refuse?

If you just restarted it to fit this one, chances are it's deserted, Jen insisted.

'Yes, nevertheless, this arrangement has also been recorded between the' management magic brains', so I cannot reject it '

"I can't help it..."

If it's about a couch or table, I can offer it to you, but it's the honest feeling of Jen that he's somewhat handicapped.

Perhaps Jen, who performs a self-analysis, even though it is an exchange in an irrelevant place, is not convinced of the irrationality of having to offer the furniture he has prepared.

"We also need to get submarines out here to fight it."

"What happens if you don't let it out?

Malika asked the question.

'There was no such precedent, so I don't know what would happen'

"Huh..."

Apparently, Original Ancestors had a disciplined character for such promises.

"Sixteen minutes to intercept the enemy. If we don't intercept by then, we're going to lose."

"Just give me a minute. Who's making that win-loss decision?

'Yes, I and I have an' Auxiliary Processing Brain (Coprocessor) 'that accompanies the' Management Magic Brain 'over there. That's where the rules are recorded.'

"I see."

The point is, we have the rulebooks for each other.

That's in a black box, and they can't deceive the content.

"Hmm, what to do..."

It seems like it would be nice to subsidize it so that it doesn't conflict with that rule, but I only have about fifteen minutes left, so I'm not likely to make it.

But Jen comes up with one idea.

"... right, right!... Reiko, ask for the rules from 'Agate' and send them to me, old man. at the fastest possible rate. … Malika, ask for instructions"

"Yes, Father."

"Yes, Master Jin.... 'Agate', this Laeko is an automatic doll (Automata). Tell her the contents of the rulebook in high-speed data communications."

"Yes, Master Malika."

Thus, the contents of the "Rule Book" were sent to Old Master via Reiko, a super-fast data transfer, so I was able to finish sending all the huge data in about two seconds as well.

And you scrutinize the contents in a second.

He advised Jen through Reiko.
