Survival in Another World With My Master
Episode 305: Naturally, there is a pioneer
"Ahh...."
"... yeah"
When I told them my idea, the two magicians nodded face to face and told me what to tell them....? began to create an atmosphere of
"As far as the two reactions are concerned, is that it? It's like they've done all the research, right? And the results aren't very good."
"Yeah, well, yeah. I can think of anyone. It's about taking in magic elements (mana) that exist in the atmosphere and using them as magic (odds)."
Ma na? Ouch? "
"Magic that is not constant in quality and wavelength in the atmosphere is called Odo, and magic that can be freely exercised in the body of mana and magicians. Usually both are called magic."
When I leaned my neck, they both explained Mana and Odo very nicely.
"I see, is it still being studied? Well, we know there's no magic left in the atmosphere, so it's only natural to think about using it."
"Nh. It's been studied for a long time. For example, a magician's wand is also a kind of mana trap that Koske says. Focus equipment that converges the magician's magic and releases it to the outside, and amplifies the magic when releasing it are more prominent, but the wand has a small amount of magic in the atmosphere, but it can be collected to help heal the owner's magic."
"However, the effect is Shoboi. For example, it's like shaking a cloth in the fog, dampening it, and squeezing out a little water. As Koske thought, I've been studying magic tools that use drain magic to efficiently collect magic in the atmosphere for a long time, but in order to collect magic, I have to use drain magic, so no matter how efficient it is, it consumes more magic."
"I see. Tell me more."
I will ask the two of you a little bit about the research related to mana trap that has been conducted so far. Neither of them was enthusiastic about Manatrap-related research, but they told me as much as they could about the contents of the research materials they had read so far and the stories they had heard from the sorcerers who used to do manatrap-related research.
First, the mana traps studied in this world are broadly divided into two types.
One is to use Drain magic as a magic tool to collect magic that exists in the atmosphere. The problem with this type is the difficulty of using Drain magic and the increase in magic consumption when converted into magic objects.
In the first place, it seems that drain-based magic is also used by magicians when disabling magicians, or by exorcists when stealing magic from powerless ordinary people and sacrifices, etc., so it does not seem that magic can be taken away very efficiently due to the difficulty of exercise. Of course, that's not the case as long as my powers as a magician are isolated.
"There's a lot of waste because magic can only be used with a certain intensity."
"Operating with magic accumulators and pulse holes will increase efficiency to a certain extent."
"In the first place, you don't have to operate that kind of thing."
"Hmm? Wait a minute. Since the magic accumulation and the magic of the pulse hole are also called mana, can't they be used so easily?
According to Ifrita, it feels like the magic of the magic accumulator and pulse hole can be used freely. Then the premise that the magic that exists in the atmosphere cannot be used freely collapses.
The magic density is different. Normal atmospheric mana is inexhaustible, but very thin. Just a drop of sweet honey in a glass of water doesn't make sense. But the magic accumulation and pulse hole magic are different. It's a place where honey itself gushes out or erupts. Even if the quality is not constant, it has a density enough to be immediately available as an odor. "
"I see, it's a density problem... hmm"
One more suggestion for the direction I should take. I was thinking about the method of collecting magic in the atmosphere and reducing it directly to equipment and magicians, but if it doesn't work, I can also think of a method of condensing the magic in the atmosphere and making something like a so-called magic spot.
After creating a magic spot, I might be able to put a mana trap in that magic spot.
"Now, tell me about the magic collection efficiency of the wand, which has already achieved some success in the present situation. I wonder what kind of wand is more efficient at collecting magic and what kind of material makes it perform better."
"Maybe we're wrong because we're not professionals either.
"It's okay, it's just a guiding principle for the first time. After that, I'll build up my own data by piling up prototypes and experiments."
"Nh, okay."
After hearing from the two of them about the performance of the magic wand, it seems that the wand made of a material that is basically long, large, and has good magic conductivity is more efficient at gathering magic. Interestingly enough, silver alloys containing mythrills and spiritual trees with good magic streets are more efficient at collecting magic than canes with high purity mythrills on the head of the cane.
"So a long wand made of pure mythrill is probably the most efficient way to collect magic."
"If you could make something like that, I would. I wish I could make something like that."
"I can make it."
"I can make a costume."
"That's right! But you can't spread it because it's too expensive.
"That's right."
The goal is a world where everyone can use magic and magic tools cheaply. It would be contrary to that aim to use a lot of expensive mythrills.
"Pure mythrill is too much, but we should consider using mythrill alloy. Would adding just a small amount of mythrill greatly increase the magic's conduction efficiency?
"Nh, mythrill copper alloy is excellent. Mythrill silver alloy is even more amazing."
"It might be better if it were a little bit, but always think about the cost-effectiveness. Not only rich people like us, but all the people of the lower realm."
"Do good."
Pure Mithrill swords have a value that can become a national treasure by themselves, so using such pure Mithrills a lot will certainly move away from the main idea of widely spreading magic tools and magic use to improve life.
I'm not going to weigh myself during the development! If you dig it yourself, the real cost is zero.
"I would never weigh myself."
"I feel like I'm starting to understand what he's thinking lately."
You're such an idiot. I didn't expect my poker face to be read... no, it's not. I didn't want to hide my face at all.
"Well, well. For now, somehow, I know the direction. Let me tell you a few more things."
"Nh"
Sure.
By continuing to ask more about the magic collection efficiency of the wand, I learned a few more things. First of all, the wand won't work unless it's equipped.
No, I'm not kidding, am I? In other words, if you don't hold it in your hand and take it into your hand, and keep it in contact with your body, the wand won't work. Two things can be deduced from this information. The magic collected in the Magic Collector is not conductive unless it is connected to some sort of "magic conductor".
And one more thing. The fact that the human body is attractive to magic. I knew from the thought that the magic reduced by magic will recover naturally over time, but I think the nature of attracting this magic is likely to become a neck in the future.
It's only natural to think about it, but if a substance with high magic conductivity attracts magic just by itself, the magic equipment that basically consists of such a material will become malfunctioning by simply leaving it alone.
Creating this "magic attractive property" artificially is likely to be the first challenge.
"Okay, the policy is set. Let's make it quick."
"I look forward to seeing what Koske makes."
"What are you going to make?
"I think it's magic conductivity and surface area that are involved in the performance of a very primitive mana trap."
"Surface area?
Aila and Ifleeta tilt their necks together. Yeah, I'm going to make a lot of stuff right now, so wait. Maybe it's faster to make it than to say it with your mouth.
That's why I installed a Golem workbench that was taken from the inventory in the private room of the Ifrita, which was a temporary lecture room.
