Survival in Another World With My Master
Episode 364 - The Beginning of Death March
So, let's finish it in two weeks.
"" Eh... ""
Explained the situation, and when the deadline expired, the face of the R&D department was very unpleasant.Yeah, I know. I know you're being reckless.But this is about politics, isn't it?If we rely on the Dragons mountain kingdom to travel and carry many gifts - if we change the way we look at them - it could be a morning gift rather than a goodwill envoy.For our part, we must show more authority inside and outside the country, so that the Kingdom of Merinard is not seen as a protected or belonging country of the Dragonish Mountain Kingdom.
"I get it, I get it. It's easier to say just hurry up and finish it in two weeks, but it's not too much to say."
The R&D people nod to my words.I'm a king, not their direct boss, but I'm far superior.However, there are a lot of people who have been with the PLA since the time of the PLA, and they ask everyone to treat them normally if they are not in public, so they honestly express their feelings at these times.Whatever you say, I think you have a good relationship.
"That's why I've been thinking about countermeasures."
That said, I looked around the R&D department, nodded one by one, and then raised my fist.
"In the development of Airship Prototype 1, we will completely lift the restrictions on the use of materials!"
Oops!
The R&D department is surprised at my announcement.
"I don't mind over-specific, let's use the best material we can think of to make sure we fly safely for now. Cost exterior."
"Is it possible to use all-you-can-use mythrill silver alloy...?"
"Use anything you need, whether it's pure mythrill or magic stone!"
Cheers rise again from the face of the R&D department.But one of them, Ifrita, who was calm, raised her hand and spoke.
"For now, can you confirm your intentions?Political judgment has shortened the development period and lifted the ban on the use of materials to improve the morale of the R&D department? "
"There are aspects to that, but that's not all.In the first place, I think it's impossible to think about the cost and develop it.This is a goal that is achieved after a working prototype has been made and various tests have been carried out to provide feedback on the insights gained.I thought it was a mistake in the first place to fly a prototype and suddenly try to build a mass production machine. "
"Well, it sounds like you're making sense."
Can you convince me?
"Yes, I understand."
Isla raised her hand after Ifrita nodded.
Can I use anything?
"If there's anything I can get.Anyway, the important thing this time is to show our technical skills to the Dragons mountain kingdom, and of course to the small Western nations.So I'll change the specifications a little bit. "
Change specifications here?
Ira narrowed her eyes and looked disgusting.Usually, Isla is sweet to me, but when it comes to research and the development of new technologies, her position as a magician, as an alchemist, and as the head of the R&D department takes precedence over homosexuality.
"This is Prototype 1, which was being designed as a transport ship, but I would like to give it the character of an aerial battleship or an aerial carrier.The point is, we're adding a surface-to-air attack capability. "
Specifically?
"With regard to the ground attack, I think we can divert the aerial bomb that we built for Harpy and the others.Just dropping from a certain altitude will be powerful enough.A new magic bomb must have been developed backwards, right? "
"Nh, blueprints and specifications have already been sent.It is lighter and not less mass-producible than the aerial bomb made by Koske.Except for one thing. "
A little bit?
"There is a lack of magic crystals and magic stones that can be the source of magic.It's been refined from the pulse hole in the rear base, but the supply hasn't caught up with the reception. "
"I see. Securing the pulse hole is a challenge for the future..."
There is no control, but some pulse holes have been identified within the Kingdom of Merinard.If it can be used as a production base for magic crystals, magic iron, and magic steel, such as the rear base, pulse holes will be an important strategic point in the future.I will advise Sylvie and Merty to secure a pulse hole.
Either way, if the Kingdom of Merinard proceeds with magic technology in the future, it will be necessary to secure the pulse hole that continues to release magic to the inexhaustible.Large-scale encounters with external enemies are unlikely to happen right now, and it would be better for you to think about how you can distribute your power.
"In the meantime, you just need to have enough to fight at once.Then I want to equip the deck so that the Happy Air Bombers can resupply and redeploy on board the airship, and I want to build an air bomb vault. "
When it comes to anti-aircraft attacks, do you like lightning cannons?
"Well, anti-aircraft strikes would be a rocket if there were lightning cannons."
Lightning cannon is a weapon that magically uses lightning magic used by Isla and has already been commissioned.The difficulty is that it requires enormous magic in operation, and it is difficult to downsize so far. The size is as large as the Golem barista deployed in fortifications and the like.It's impossible to carry a large subspecies like Schmel, Bella, or a tomato.
If you use magic crystals as a source of magic, you will need one magic crystal to shoot a single shot.Magic crystals are never cheap, so the operating costs are too high.Well, that was solved by using the Magic Stone furnace using Magic Stone as the magic source, but this one is still huge and heavy.As a result, it was decided that it would be better to operate as a stationary weapon rather than a portable weapon.
This is a very good anti-aircraft cannon, it has a range there, it is almost impossible to avoid, and it can be attacked in a somewhat wide area, so it is very effective as an anti-air cannon.A Wyburn will disable you with a single hit, so it's powerful enough.
So the anti-air equipment is converted from a Golem type barista... then the magic source is the Magic Stone Furnace?
"That's right. If it crashes, it'll be a disaster.Well, thanks to that, we don't have to worry about the magic source on board, so let's think positively. "
"The compartment that houses the Magic Stone Furnace needs to be particularly robust...."
"It's okay to protect the Magic Stone Furnace against physical barriers in an emergency. Maybe."
"Maybe...."
"Things are never going to happen."
Isla squeezes her shoulders in a bitter smile.Well, it's impossible to take any safety measures.The reality is that we have to do what we can.
"With the Magic Stone Furnace installed, the airship needs to have a magical path centered on the Magic Stone Furnace.Prepare two systems, if possible three systems, just in case.You can use pure mythrill as long as you need the material. "
"There is too much pure mythrill on the streamstone and the magic conduction line.Mythrill silver alloy is enough. "
"OK, if you need it anyway, you can look at the cost.Even the Magic Stone Furnace can be stowed in multiple units instead of one.With that in mind, you can build a ship that can fly because it's powerful. "
Copy that.
"Okay."
"Good. Oh, we have to review it from the design..."
Each of the facets of the R&D department shows an understanding, while entering into their own actions.Now, I have to go ahead with the creation of the Magic Stone Furnace and the creation of the Mythrill Rider.For sourcing materials, the moulding of components and the work to be done are piled up.
