Survival in Another World With My Master

Episode 306: Basic research is plain and boring

Hoi, prototype one is complete.

That's why I brought Mana Trap Prototype 1, which I created at the Golem workbench, to the front of both of you.

"What is this... what?

"Metal beads...? Net...?

I took out wires from Mythrill Silver Alloy, or spherical objects made of metal. Not only the surface, but also the interior of the mesh - or the lattice - is stretched out. Only the outermost part of the frame is thickened and sturdy, and the wire inside is considerably thinner. In this way, everything is made of integral molding, and perhaps it will be very difficult to create the same in the original world. There's a lot of craftsmanship.

"I tried to make a handy shape to earn surface area with fewer components. Think of it as a magic collection wand and hold it in your hand."

"I'll do it."

Since Isla came up with a small hand, I'll put Mana Trap Prototype 1 on top of it. Then, Ira narrowed her big eyes with interest and peered deep into the net of Prototype 1.

"It's really neat. I can't make anything like this other than corkscrews."

You can't do that.

"Of course it is. Actually, we have prototype number two."

Then, take the prototype No. 2, which is well packed with a thin mythrilled silver alloy plate that twists and folds inside the square frame, and give it to the ifrita. Depending on what you see, it might look like a car radiator.

This one is more difficult to manufacture.

The imager looks at the prototype radiator No. 2 in his hand. Yeah, I'm sure that's easier to make. In fact, I think radiator type is more suitable for mass production if the conductors are in direct contact with each other, even if it is not integrally molded or seamless.

"So, what do you say? Magic gathering?

Hang on a second.

"I don't know right away. We need to focus a little bit."

That said, they started meditating with their eyes held by Prototype 1 and 2 respectively.

"Hmm... does it look like it's really efficient?

"Excellent for size"

Confirm the operation of the prototype with the feeling that the two people will change the prototype and meditate again.

"Isn't it great for an easy-to-carry size?

"At this size, I honestly think it's incredible to have a magic collection efficiency-oriented wand and unmatched performance."

"Nh, sure. A little handy."

Well then, let's keep going.

Now make something the size of a cuddle and put it on the desk. Why not hand it directly? Because it is made of total metal and it weighs quite a bit. Of course, it's not as heavy as I can carry yet.

"Um, maybe."

"Yeah, the bigger you get, the more efficient you get, and how big you can be. With manpower."

"... this looks like a broken bone."

As a result of the verification, it has been found that the very primitive mana trap is the size of the limit at which performance can be improved up to a cube of about 1.5 m on one side, and the larger the size, the better the efficiency of the radiator type.

"... I'm tired"

"... is that enough?

"Hahaha, thank you"

Isla and Ifrita, who have been meditated many times to gather magic, are tight, so I'll serve you grilled apples and tea. Baked apples are sweet, tasty and easy to craft with just apples, so they are stocked in large quantities. You can also make apple pies and fruit cakes with baked apples as ingredients, so it's actually an intermediate ingredient for sweets.

"In the meantime, I've grasped the size guidelines, so let's see if the density of the inner fins and the thinness of the fins affect the efficiency."

They trembled at my words and stopped eating baked apples. Gigigigigi... she turned her face towards us so sharply that it sounded like... Yeah, there's no light in your eyes.

"It's okay, it's not that fine. The size is optimal."

Well, since this experiment assumes that the two magic gathering abilities are constant or identical, it is only a guideline. I'm not a scientist accustomed to experimentation, so I honestly don't know how to experiment efficiently. It feels pretty intriguing.

Besides, I don't really know if this size is the right size for me. I don't know if the magic gathering abilities of Isla and Ifrita are the same as the magic gathering abilities of the magic collectors we're going to develop. Well, amateurs can only become amateurs and repeat their experiments.

In the first place, this radiator type is not necessarily the best solution. There is also the possibility that the reading that the surface area may be related is out of control, and there is also the possibility that another form that has not been experimented with before may be more efficient. A parabolic antenna... I don't know the name, but a TV antenna like a fish bone placed on the roof might be more efficient at absorbing magic.

"Basic research is important."

"Nh, that's for sure."

"I see. The development of magic and magic has gradually progressed with the accumulation of plain research... and hopefully with the application of Koske's knowledge and technology of other worlds, something new can be created."

"Let's try to be me. So, when you've finished eating, continue to say hello."

"... yeah"

"... yeah"

We need to provide some kind of service to the two of you who are tired and tired of working together. I'll hear your two requests later and make you anything you like for dinner.
