"What's wrong, Lord Alphonse?" According to the reports received by the clumsy man, it seems that he has just overturned it. "
“Yeah, I wanted to see how fast I could go, so I accelerated and I failed.”
Hmmm. I wonder how much magic power and velocity Lord Alphonse had in mind. What was the angle of the water and the ship? I want to know if you've been steering, if you haven't, or if you've made any other mistakes. "
"You're so curious about my failures, aren't you?"
"Of course not." I told Lord Alphonse to be careful when riding, but that kind of failure was valuable information in itself. It's important information to know how far you have to go to make a mistake. "
"Huh, is that what this is about?" Very well, then, I'll explain to you from one to ten the failures you've made in that prototype power ship. "
"Don't listen to me with all your heart."
A power ship built by Galius.
I also made it to check the performance of the power mechanism type magic tool that Eye had prepared, so I knocked out the play.
And eventually, I broke it.
I was worried about how angry and sad Galius would be at me for having recovered the fragmented prototype power ship and brought it back, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
It is said that breaking it is not something to be angry about, but that it is an important research material in itself.
Galius' face when I told him about the ship's operation was a serious one.
Well, I was told it was too rough driving.
"But I see... I didn't expect you to use it that way."
"What are you talking about?"
"I can't tell you that Lord Alphonse covered the ship with magic power and made a sharp turn." In calculations and during the trial run of the clumsy man, it was impossible to make such a sharp turn with the power and the movement of the rotary blade, but I didn't expect that by imparting magic power to the hull, the turning performance would improve more than normal. "
I see? If you fill your flesh with magic, your physical abilities will improve, so if you give magic power to the ship, that might be the case.
"I see. It's because Alphonse has a lot of magic power and is used to handling magic power." I can't even use my magic like that with a clumsy person. "
"Well, maybe not for normal people." So, this is a reference for something? "
"That's right." I don't know if it's useful, but the idea itself is interesting. Apart from the turning performance, it might be a good idea to consider adding a magic circle to the hull. "
"Magic circle? Are you going to paint such a thing on the ship?" But what do you mean, apart from performance improvement? "
"For example, I don't want to talk about it, but I don't think it could be used to stop the rust we talked about before. As a matter of fact, one of the members of the Orient Magic Union had been researching magic tools that could be used for such metal. By combining the magic stone and the magic circle into the hull, I might be able to prevent the iron ship from rusting."
I see.
Is there such a method?
Well, some of them have been doing that kind of research for a while.
Since teaching the Orient nation the basics of making magic tools, the craftsmen were free to make all kinds of things on their own.
If it was a magic tool, I would have studied it as I liked because it was a situation where I could sell it at a high price, whether it was practical or not.
The craftsmen that Galius had studied the magic circle against the metal were called to Barca, and the craftsmen he knew came here.
They also seem to be interested in a new power ship.
Like every day, they say it's time to power the ship.
And I used the prototype they built to run on the water many times.
It seems that there is a slight difference between the performance of the prototype power ship being checked by others and the performance of the prototype power ship being used by me.
After all, it was because the magic power and treatment were completely different.
I've been driving nonsense and overturning prototype power ships one after another, but it didn't bother the researchers at all.
Because of this, the power mechanism is like four feathers, and Eye continues to observe it.
When I boarded the ship on the Glue River, I had Aye look at it, and I was able to figure out exactly what would happen to the ship if I increased the rpm.
Maybe it's just for now.
The more magic you pour in, the more the power mechanism works and the rpm of the rotating blades will increase.
Perhaps, when it is at the practical stage, even with the rpm limit, I feel that it may be set so that it does not rise to the dangerous rpm that may overturn.
So I've been playing around on the boat for a while.
As a result, the winter was over and a power ship that seemed to be practicable was completed by the time spring arrived.
