Survival in Another World With My Master

Episode 252 - Manoeuvres and Airbikes

"Ohhhhhhh!?

The heavens and the earth flipped over and over again, causing severe pain all over your body. The feeling of twitching in the back of your nose and the feeling of turning your eyes come at the same time. I feel like crying.

Are you okay?

"Do you look okay?

I can't see.

Responding to Isla's voice, which came down from above her head with her face down on the ground, she was stroked. It's good that you stroke my head, but my whole body hurts very much, Dr. Isla.

"For now, the bones are not broken."

"That's a great step forward...."

Place your hands on the ground and lift your torso, trembling with pain.

"Yes"

Isla brought the bottle of red liquid closer to her mouth, so she accepted it and put the liquid inside her mouth. Hmm, the taste is not so delicious because of its strong acidity. However, as you swallow it, your body pain disappears. That's right, Mr. Life Potion.

"Hah... that's a horse, isn't it?"

Get up and poke a nasty object in your hips with your fists.

Equipped on my waist is a prototype of a high-maneuverability device that I began to develop after talking to Sir Leonard and the others the other day. The concept is to create an explosive acceleration with a pair of small propulsion devices mounted on a metal frame, but it is difficult to control. Is it difficult or impossible?

Thirteen fractures, eight fainting, and countless other injuries in the past two weeks. If it wasn't me doing the test, maybe five or six times there would be dead people out there.

"Koske, I think it would be better if you tested me with a beast who is not Koske, but who is physically superior."

"Nuu..."

Ira's gaze roared with anxiety. In the first place, I don't think the human body is capable of running, jumping, or jumping on the ground at the speed of 30 km/h or 50 km/h. I think so. 'Cause I'm in a lot of pain.

"Humans are no match for Subhumans with strong body types, such as Wesen, in terms of reaction rate, skeleton and physical strength. Very rarely, but not Koske."

"Gunu...."

Unfortunately, Ira is right. In the early days, when the adjustment of the output was unstable, the acceleration shock alone caused the bones all over the body to burst into the hips. The current prototype has a propulsion system attached to the frame… rather than a thigh to back, it is shaped like lumbar armor with a solid frame. In the form of a propulsion device on the initial frame, the bones of the spine and hips were under a strain, so it was incredible.

"I don't think it's a bad idea...."

"It's interesting. Novel"

"But it's obviously better that way."

"Because basic technology is well established"

Aila and I saw an airbike driving at a pleasant speed ahead of us. The mechanism is identical to that of an airboard. However, the number of thrusters consists of one medium-sized engine and two compact ones for direction conversion, and the small thrusters for direction conversion are driven by moving the handle to the left and right.

Each flotation device uses a small one in front of and behind the enclosure, which is now running smoothly. This is where we are exploring the optimal arrangement, size, and output of flotation devices, such as those with only one central unit or those that use larger ones.

"If it's practical, it's more convenient than horses."

"If we can prepare the magic crystal, the burden on the barracks will be much less."

The benefits that the army can derive from mechanization of transportation means and mobility are themselves a reduction in the burden on Zubali barracks.

In general, every human soldier consumes between 1 kg and 2 kg of food per day. You can think of this as the minimum number minus the weight of water. In the case of a subhuman with superior physical abilities, the fuel consumption is also considerable, so it is better to be prepared for 2 kg. By the way, horses carrying carriages loaded with supplies eat ten times as many as humans. That means you need 10 kg of horse food per day.

Incidentally, the typical load of wagons in the world is about 500 kg. Pretty good performance. Thanks to the axles and wheels of the enchanted material. However, the carriage full of luggage travels slowly. It will be the same speed as human walking.

It is better to go as far as 30 km a day, if it rains, the road will be muddy and unable to move properly, and the speed will drop even further in the land with intense up-and-down. Moreover, as I mentioned, horses eat a lot. We need about 10 kg of horse food a day.

However, airboards and motorcycles can cruise lightly at speeds of 400 km per day, and only a few hundred grams of magic crystals are needed to make the journey.

Hard to understand? Let me give you a few concrete examples.

Suppose, for example, that supplies are delivered to the battlefield 200 km away.

In this case, if the carriage would take a week on one road, and if the horse alone consumed 70 kg of supplies on one road, and three escorts were attached to the emperor, they would consume 28 kg of supplies on one week alone. They consume about 100 kilograms of supplies one way. Of course, we will return to our base once the supplies have been delivered, so the consumption will be twice as much as 200 kg. We can only deliver 300 kg of supplies to the front lines.

After spending a week on a one-way journey, considering the round-trip amount, we consumed as much as 200 kg of supplies, and finally transported only 150 people's daily food by subhuman standards. I think I understand the difficulty of the task of replenishing.

Now, what happens if you do this on an airboard?

The cruising speed of the transport airboard, which can load 500 kg of supplies, is 50 km/h. Unlike horses, there is no need for a break, so it is possible to run for eight hours, so the daily travel distance is 400 km. Moreover, unlike carriages, the speed of travel is almost never affected by the weather or road conditions.

In other words, it is even possible to reach the battlefield 200 km away in half a day and return to the staging area. Naturally, 500 kg of supplies will be delivered to the front line. This consumes only one magical crystal that is made from the rear and inexhaustible.

I think this explanation clearly shows how much the mechanization of the station by the airboard - in this case, the magic? - benefits the resupply. It is part of the airboard magipane.

By the way, my load is unmeasurable. For now, there are no limits. Besides, I will create a field on the front line that can be harvested in a week at any time. I'll create a fortress, a city, anything. Plus, you can travel hundreds of kilometers an hour on the Grande flight rather than on the airboard.

If I'm in the enemy's shoes, I'll use whatever hand I can to kill my side, even if it's just the supply side!

And let's get back to the air bike.

Cruise speed of 50 km/h, and maximum speed of 100 km/h twice that.

Speed shall be maintained even when loaded with up to 60kg of luggage other than passengers.

Operate for a minimum of two weeks without professional maintenance.

Equipped with a function to maintain speed even if both hands are released.

At present, the performance required for air bikes under development is as follows. With regard to the ability to maintain speed even if both hands are released, it seems that they also take into account shooting while moving, magical attacks, and slowly heavily armored cavalry.

I don't know about the cavalry assault, I guess. You don't have to be a cavalry assault. You can use a light machine gun. If you're going to do something with the world's technology alone, use magic guns and other magic guns under development.

A Magic Gun is another version of a Magic Gun and is a projectile that shoots magic instead of bullets.

However, development is difficult at present. Efficiency is not good.

In the case of magic guns, only one half size magic crystal can shoot about 500 rounds, but in the case of magic guns, only about ten rounds can be fired with the same half size magic crystal. It seems that using large and complex magic circuits, or using barrel materials such as mythrill silver alloy, will improve the efficiency considerably, but then the manufacturing cost will jump.

In the case of a genius magician like Isla, he can shoot efficient magic with less magic using complex magic rituals, but it seems that it is difficult to turn into magic instruments.

"You can still run."

"N. Load and durability tests when balance adjustment is complete. Then we have to work towards mass production. Oh, my God."

"Well, it's really unfortunate that some basic technology has been established on the airboard."

"Hmm. I'll have Sir Leonard or Danang arrange a living subject for the manoeuvre."

"I'm afraid so. If you think about actually using it, you're a soldier of subordinates...."

If you think about it, even if you adjust it for me, it may not be suitable for Wesen. If so, would it be better to entrust the development to beasts and other subhumans who might actually use manoeuvring devices without becoming stubborn?

"The sacrifice of Koske is not in vain. At least the risk of serious injury is reduced."

"I literally broke my bones...."

"I don't know.

"It's not a joke...."

It was a bump. Hahaha.

"Well, let's leave the development of the manoeuvre device to the Wesen - huh!?

Someday, Isla's hand grabbed my clothes. You can also see Harpy and the others smiling as you gaze at the nearby building.

"Let's calm down. Talk to me and I'll know."

"Listen slowly in your room"

Isla started pulling me with a force that wasn't commensurate with her little body. No, no, no! My clothes are stretching! I have other jobs, because I have other jobs! If not, I'll make it! Forgive me when the sun is high!
