Magi Craft Meister

71-13 Submarine rigging

On October 12, after breakfast, the 'Engineering Magic Warhead' test took place.

The location is Tatsumi Bay.

In order to do so far enough away from the cultivated raw animals, the tourists… The entire "Jen family" and the "elders" are tours aboard the cruiser "Package".

"In the first place, how does" Engineering Magic Warhead "work?

Before the exam, the interested Reinhardt asked questions.

"Reinhardt had a short wand (wand) that could be activated by simply running a magic pot (mana)."

"Is that it... I miss you"

400 years ago...... when Jen and Reinhardt had just met. It is the story of Reinhardt when he was a diplomat of the Empire of Shouro, visiting the Kingdom of Elias with Elsa.

He attacked Potlock's Harbor with a Short Cane (Wand) planted with a Fire Spear (Flame Lance) when defeating the "Murderer Sea Snake (Death Cesarpent)".

"The way I think about it is just like that one. However, the Magic Stone (Magistone) is used to supply Magnetic Magnetic Magnets, and there are ideas to speed up Magic Activation."

To Jen, who said it beforehand, Reinhardt put in a scratch.

"No, no, no, no, it's not going to be a glimmer to speed up that activation."

If humans use it as a 'magical short wand (wand)', a second or two time lag doesn't bother them so much.

But if you've tried torpedoes...

"Tip...... is that it? That makes contact and shakes, comma zero. How many seconds...... or comma zero. How many seconds do I have to activate?

That's Reinhardt, he was spotting the activation conditions for the phenomenon precisely.

"Oh, that's right. Yeah, you're right. That's why I invented this torpedo's" trust pipe. "

"Like what?"

"It's stopped one step in front of the activation. To activate... yes, one word when it comes to chanting... no, add half a word and it feels like it's done"

"Yes, no, that shouldn't be an easy story!

In such a state, the magic hormone (mana) would be in a drooling state, Reinhardt said.

"You're right, too. That's why I invented it."

"Like what?"

"We need to activate the tube right before we launch."

The idea is that it feels like a grenade, which reduces the time it takes to activate by activating a tube when using it.

Most of this one doesn't have to worry about exploding after too much time.

The point is that the tube is activated when the firing button is pressed, and the engineering magic is built between the time the torpedo lands. Leave it in front of the activation half-step.

And engineering magic is activated by making the last push the moment you hit the target.

This allows engineering magic to be developed on the opponent's surface without time lag.

The main engineering magic this time was "deformation (forming)".

"The moment the tip of the torpedo comes into contact, the 'deformation (forming)' is activated, leaving a hole in the armor. It feels like the second half of the torpedo will penetrate the interior and cause minor destruction."

"I see."

"I know you can't do that with something like a supersonic rocket bullet, but it's a torpedo speed, so it's okay."

"Is that so?"

"So do the experiment"

Since several tests have been carried out during the prototyping phase, it is now a real shot.

An Adamantite plate, one meter square and ten centimetres thick, is installed in a shallow area about one metre below the sea level. It's an overweight armored plate that weighs two tons.

That is fixed between the two steel columns built on the seabed.

The location is just where you can look down from the cruiser "Compact".

"You're ready."

"Yes, Master (My Lord)"

I got a response from the old man through "The Bracelet of Friends".

'The struts are also strong enough. It's always experimentable.'

"All right, 'Shachi', let's go"

Today's "chachi" also allows for high-precision remote manoeuvring. Of course it's the old man who pilots it.

Since the target is one metre below sea level, it is also well visible from the ship.

The face of "Jen Family" was staring at the ocean drinking solidly (and never before).

"Oh, here comes Shachi."

Arrive in a minute after dispatch. Cross in front of the 'compact' and take a distance from the target.

"Kufu, 'Shachi' is a pretty special outfit after all"

Saki mentioned that.

"It's quite different from the other 'submarines'."

Hannah hammers too.

Well, "others" can also be submarines like flat triangular ayes, hemispherical submarines, or submarine-like submarines.

"Yes, yes.... Hey Jin, how come the submarine at Jin's and 'Shachi' are so different shapes, as I was taught before?

Marcia was Marcia and just asked Jen that it was a good opportunity about the shape of the submarine.

"Huh?... uh, oh well"

Jen explained that, naturally, Jen knows about the Earth's submarine.

It can be cigar or teardrop type.

"The submarines in my world are heavily constrained by construction methods and materials."

"What do you mean?

"I'm going to explain that.... First of all, you know that something called water pressure has the power not to be stupid, right?

"Of course. You're going to increase pressure by one bar at 10 meters, more or less."

"Yes. In that sense, it's easier for a spaceship to maintain its airtight structure."

For spacecraft, there is 1 bar inside, 0 bar outside if it is vacuum, and the difference is only 1 bar (excluding spacecraft assuming they land on planets with high barometric pressure).

The submarine, by contrast, already has a pressure difference between the outside and the inside after just diving 10 meters. It is 2 bar if you dive 20 meters and 10 bar if you dive 100 meters.

The pressure inside the soccer ball is between 0.6 and 1.1 bar.

For automotive tires, the units used are different all the time, but when converted to barometric pressure, they generally fall within the range of 2 bar to 3 bar (for passenger cars. Many are above 8 bar for large trucks).

"I can't mold the hell out of it, so I can have a joint, and it's really going to get weaker there"

"Oh, we talked about that a while ago"

"Yeah. So, when it comes to material, it's transparent material, and it's hard to make big windows. It doesn't make much sense."

What do you mean, I put it in front, and Jen continued explaining.

"First, it's dark in the water"

Even clear water says that diving a hundred meters results in a light intensity of one hundredth. Not to mention in cloudy water it quickly darkens.

Visualization is not very effective in such a dark place.

And if you're a submarine as a weapon, it's also undesirable to point the light. Because it's like you're teaching your enemies where you are.

"So in the water, it's normal to explore the position of the opponent with a sonar"

"I see. But in the case of gin, there's no need for that, and some tough transparent materials make the design different."

"That's one thing, but don't panic."

Jen went on to explain.

"And normally we need air, or oxygen"

"Oh, there's a crew."

"That's not all. The power of the submarines in the world where I was, they used internal combustion engines."

Generate electricity with a diesel engine and turn the motor with that power.

That's why we have to stick an intake pipe called a "snorkel" out into the sea.

When diving deep, the diesel engine stops and uses the electricity stored in the battery, but not for very long.

If you become a nuclear submarine, you can clear this point because you don't need oxygen to generate electricity.

"Right. In the case of gin, the magic conductor can regenerate the air."

"That's what I'm talking about. And then, in the first place, submarines were developed to attack ordinary ships. So you're going to observe using a 'periscope' to observe the sea."

In that case, the area protruding to the sea level should be as small as possible, so there exists an area equivalent to the 'bridge' referred to as' mast '.

"This is what makes water resistant again."

"Oh, in Gin's case, you don't need a 'periscope', so you don't have a mast"

"That's the thing. Well, even if it did, I'd just use" Water Avoidance Boundary. "

While we were having such a conversation, 'Shachi' finished about 500 meters from the target.

Finally, the experiment begins.
