Survival in Another World With My Master

Episode 359 - Airship Development: Here's how it works

"As a result of various studies, I discovered the possibility of the magic of fall control."

When I was discussing design precautions with Dwarves and Lamia blacksmiths and carpenters, Isla, who had gathered and talked to each other, said so.

Phew ~ Ring-tong-tonguru

"Nh, drop control. You should actually take a look."

That said, Isla threw an empty teacup at the ceiling.The thrown teacup spins around and rises close to the ceiling and begins to fall.

"Fall control (falling control)"

It stopped sharply when it began to fall.The rotation seems to have stopped sharply.

"This is the magic of controlling the rate of fall.Then the posture is fixed in the same state as the magic moment. "

"Why?"

"Because it's magic."

Ah, yes.

When I first showed Isla my abilities, she said it was irrational and irrational, but I think it's 50 steps away from magic that completely ignores the laws of physics.

"This is magic. It's a phenomenon that happens with a good price for magic.It's fundamentally different from Koske's. "

"Ah, hi, so I'm sure this one will work.As long as we can ascend, then we can use this magic to fix our height and posture and move with the propulsion system. "

The teacup that came down fluffily followed with its fingertips, and it moved in the direction that it was squeezed down.

"But if this is incited by the horizontal wind, it's going to be that much.Should we take measures against the wind?Yeah? We were talking about fixing the posture, but does it change to a certain extent? "

Grabbing the teacup while it was still floating in the air and applying force, the teacup turned.But it stops again. I tried to release my hand by applying force to turn it, but when it came around in the air, it stopped snapping.What's so funny? How does it work?

"The resistance to external forces doesn't seem to be strong, but is it strong enough to kill moments?I don't know why. "

It's a strange behavior like an object floating in a non-gravitational space.The magical power is awesome.

"But after all, the bigger the object, the more magic consumption problems arise. The bigger the object, the bigger the influence of the horizontal wind and air resistance, the more difficult it becomes."

"As far as the influence of the horizontal wind and air resistance are concerned, it is fine to deploy the barrier of the wind attribute.The magic of fall control is not as costly as magic.It can also be turned into a magic instrument. "

"I see. If we're not affected by the wind, the shape of the airship looks good for productivity and functionality.However, since it is necessary to earn altitude first, it is better not to flatten the upper surface.Considering the stability of the landing, we'd better put the center of gravity down... oh, no, wait.Should I put the drop control on the ground and then use the propulsion system to raise the altitude? "

Maybe we can do that, too.

That said, Isla grabbed the teacup that had fallen to her hand, jumped it and pushed it much higher than her head.Well, it's still about my face.

"I see. But is this really going to work?It seems to be useful for seeing teacups alone, but does it behave the same way with multiple people and luggage loaded in structures larger than a certain size?Just walking, flying, and jumping inside the structure is going to slow down the van altitude. "

"... we have to experiment."

"I see.... Then why don't you ask Grande and Harpy?"

"Nh, that's good. I'll think of other ways."

"Yes, because the effect of killing this moment is quite useful even if it doesn't work with the drop control.You might want to make this work. "

Hopefully, it may reduce the amount of effort involved in attitude control.

"If it works well with the magic of drop control, it's the best, but if it doesn't, we'll still need to keep pushing upwards with powerful propulsion.Since the influence of the horizontal wind can be managed by the magical barrier of the wind, let's proceed with the design of the wind magic propulsion system and the form of the sail. "

I have plenty of time and budget.Development will take time, but these kinds of basic research will definitely help someday.



While we were discussing and experimenting with each other, the days were tilted, so the R&D department broke up, and Isla and I went to the cafeteria together.Then Silfi and Merty were already waiting for the meal to come out in the dining room.It seems that there is not much work going on today.

Isn't it a holiday?

"I'm having fun."

I didn't hear back from you.

Merti sat between Merti and Silfi as he opened his seat one by one with a troubling smile.Yeah, it's a little warm with Merty's body temperature in the seat.

Incidentally, this cafeteria is used by women close to me, such as Silfi, Merti, Isla, and Grande and Ellen - or by the upper echelons of the Kingdom of Merinard.Silfi seems to have the same cafeteria as the people who work in the castle, but on the contrary, other people are concerned, so we have prepared a special cafeteria.

"It's fun to start something new."

"I know, but don't let Koske push you too hard."

Isla, who was sitting next to Sylphie, replied and nodded.

"So, what did you start making today?"

"I was thinking of building a big airship that could carry a lot of supplies and people."

Hikousen?

Explain an overview of the airship to Sylvie, who tilts his neck.

I see, it's a flying ship, so it's an airship.But is it safe? "

"Safe or not, it's not safe.If it crashes, you won't be able to save it first. "

"If the ship sinks off the coast, it won't help.Danger is no different from a ship. "

"Even a carriage can be dangerous if it's attacked by monsters and bandits.Maybe we should reduce the probability of an airship accident to less than that. "

However, if the airship was actually built and started operating, the amount of baggage and the number of people handled would climb to a considerable number, so it would be very unlikely to crash.It seems better to have a double or triple safety mechanism that functions at the time of crash, and two systems of emergency magic sources in addition to the main power source - the magic source.

"The budget....."

"I'll get it out. Isla can charge Merty as much as she needs.I'll allocate that amount. "

"Nh, okay."

"Hah... well, that's good.In the first place, most of the capital in the treasury is made by Mr. Koske. "

The huge amount of crops I continued to make in my food production bases all over the territory during the Liberation Army, as well as the huge amount of gemstones and rare metal ingots I supplied, plus gold, silver, copper, and a huge amount of iron, are extremely brilliant stones and Mythrill weapons.The value of the large grains of Magic Stone is at the national budget level, and even the shards the size of the pinky claw are worth enough to buy a grand mansion of nobility.Besides, pure Mithrill armor is a gem worth becoming a national treasure.Both are valuable enough to be used not only as commodities, but also in political transactions.I can make as many as I want in a day.

"If I get used to this rude budget management, I'm going to destroy my country one day.I don't want to say too much, but please take care of yourself. "

"Be careful."

"Nh, I know."

But with the future in mind, this is the end of the line.If we develop this country's technology with this kind of ruthless budget management, it will definitely help our children one day.

The Kingdom of Merinard has a lot of land that has not yet been developed, so there is still an extension even if it is normal.Now that food production is so high, we can expect population growth if we do well.But that alone is hard to pull out of the wider world.And it's hard to survive without something to pull out of.A country without something coming out of it will soon be eliminated.

I believe that one day, the technology that I, Isla, and the R&D community have built up with their hearts and minds will support the future kingdom of Merinard.

"We're still in the conceptual stage, but if the development of the airship goes well, it'll be useful again."

"Logistics will certainly change dramatically when we can transport large quantities of supplies and people from the sky.But is there any way to transport it overland? "

Hmm, by land.

Large-scale land transportation is still a railroad, but there are monsters and bandits in this world.I feel like the tracks I laid are broken or the rails are stolen.But that's it, isn't it? Instead of laying tracks, it may be ants who build airboard-specific roads and use high-thrust vehicles to tow cargo and trucks just to float their cargo.No, there's a problem with the brakes. Is the airboard tough?

"I'll think about it."

"Please do. Please also develop a private airboard."

"Do good."

Dinner was brought in just as I and Ira replied.In the meantime, I'd like to thank you for today's food and have dinner.Let's go see Ellen and the others after dinner.
