Survival in Another World With My Master
Chapter 366 - Test Flights
It's been a week since the Death March started.The prototype airship was finally on a test flight.
"... you've been able to build these things in a week."
Silfi murmured as he looked up at the majesty of an airship over 50 meters long.
Use your back moves.
My eyelids are heavy.Yeah, I assembled this about an hour ago.
Why did you build an airship so quickly?The answer is simple, because I took full advantage of my inventory for moving and positioning members.
My inventory makes it easy to move and place heavy components, no matter how big.I followed the instructions of the carpenter, Lamia the sea snake species, who was also the designer of the airship, and gradually assembled the ship and flew around narrowly to arrange the members.The arranged components were completed using a technique in which the artisans in the R&D department assembled them in total.
All the equipment necessary for navigation has been installed, but the interior has not yet been completed.The maximum number of passengers is 300.Well, it's only the biggest. In such a case, the ship would hang the hammock in the hold and spend time in the stuffed state of the gouge, and the cruising distance would be shorter due to the problem of replenishment.Half a hundred and fifty people would be at their limit if they were to sail long distances with full specs.In other words, it's just about the size of this goodwill mission.
"Is this going to fly? Really?"
"Theoretically, it flies. I flew the same way on a small boat, no problem."
Naturally, the airboat, a concept demonstration aircraft, crashed many times.The number of hands and feet was not enough to crash.The first prototype didn't have a problem until it took altitude, but if it moved a little, it started to fall free.The magical nature of the fall control was strange, but the ship crashed anyway.If all the crew were not magicians or Garpi who could use the fall control, the dead would have continued.
As a result of the experiments carried out by changing various conditions and sometimes loading detection magic and magic measuring instruments, it was found that magical fractures should not occur in each part of the ship.Yeah, you don't know, do you? I don't know.As far as I understand it, it means that we need to thoroughly carry out magic from one part of the ship to the next - the floor slab.
Is that possible?I thought we were already doing some technical research to break it.Yes, it is a special structure of the Adolese cathedral that came to mind when Manatrap was developed.
The Church of Adolphus was a great magic device by spreading the magic transmission line of Mythrill alloy over the entire structure.In other words, it is magically one object.So we embedded a mythrill copper alloy magic transmission line in each of the components that make up the airboat, assembled the airboard, and then joined the transmission lines together in a joint.As a result, the ship finally floated and was able to fly in the air.
Incidentally, with regard to the feared balancer, the magicians and alchemists gained nothing by adding a description to the fall-control magic instrument by pulling out the flotation device for the airboard - that is, the technique to maintain balance from the magic of the television.With regard to the method of extracting a part of the existing magic ceremony and converting it, it seems that Isla's experience in developing magic against physical barriers was fully utilized.
Therefore, it was also found that an improved fall control magic device was developed, and that instead of embedding and joining magic transmission lines in each part as a simplified strategy to obtain magic identity through the use of magic transmission lines, it was sufficient to construct the magic transmission lines after assembling.The Mythrill enchantment wire hidden in the walls of the Adolphus church was probably meant to conceal the existence of the enchantment wire itself.
Well, one time the airboat crashed to make sure.Well, if you collect it and put it on the craft table, you can repair it as many times as you want.
"Well, it was the prototype magic airship in front of me that was the result of all the hard work."
"I see. I have no idea."
"Why... why..."
I tried my best to explain.
"Instead, Mr. Koske, were you okay with the crash?Are there any injuries or other damage? "
"There are no injured people, and there's almost no physical damage.However, some of the magicians who were test pilots became altitude phobic or airship phobic. "
Are you okay, that's it?
"It has no immediate impact on everyday life"
I don't know if magical airships will become widespread in the future and get on board on a daily basis.Well, that's probably a little further, so it's okay.If you seriously consider the material price of this prototype unit, it will be the amount that Merti will scream and collapse.It is equipped with two Magic Stone furnaces that use the magnificent stone of the fist that requires gold at the national budget level to purchase, and some of the magic transmission lines are used even for pure mythrills.Basically, all the wood used is enchanted.
"So you're going to fly now, right?"
I see.
"Why is everybody looking so disgusting?"
"I told you. Theoretically, it should fly."
I mean, could it crash?
"There are always possibilities. That's why I got this stuff."
That's why I took something out of the inventory.An ultra-small paraglider made with extremely light, thin and sturdy Wyburn's wing membranes - an equipment that seems to be too free for Hercules, but this is a fall control gear for me.
My God, the magic of fall control doesn't work for me.As always, I don't know why, but Isla said it was probably because I don't have any magic shards.He said something about experiments, something scary, but he didn't listen.
Leave the story aside, this is a problem.If the magic of fall control doesn't work for me in an emergency, I can't get on an airship.That's where he was made.
What's that?
"An emergency escape device for me.The Wyburn's wing membrane is equipped with a handle, an ultra-small wind magic propulsion system made of pure Mithrill, a magic device for fall control, and a magic generating device using Magic Stone. In case of an emergency, you can take this and glide down safely to the ground. Theoretically. "
"Again, what's the problem?"
"If I glide from too high, it's a question of whether my grip stays on."
"Koske will be fine."
Somehow it's kind of moist.
"How subtle is the rating?"
Well, I'm not exactly zero on the fall measures either.If, in the unlikely event that your grip is exhausted and you fall, you can place a straw block on the surface before it collides with the ground.I love Mr. Straw Block, who takes it gently no matter how high it falls.
"Koske, confirmation complete. Magic Stone Furnace and Magic Path are clear."
OK, let's go with the first flight.
Twelve R&D developers, including Isla, and I, as well as Grande and Harpy, were among the members who dared to take the test flight this time.The face of the R&D department is a magician who can use the magic of fall control for everyone, but one Herpy is attached to the escort just in case.It is impossible for Harpy to catch and fly one person at a time, but he can land safely and softly without dying.The point is, instead of parachutes.I have a grande with me.Well, there's this magic parade, and what if... no, a thousand?A hundred is one? I don't suppose ten is one for a boulder, but I suppose we can handle an airship falling anyway.
"By the way, if this guy fails, it's hard to use an airship for this goodwill visit because of the workload."
"Hmm... can't you handle it?"
"No, I haven't finished decorating or outfitting it yet.If it breaks down, the improvement points are identified, redesigned, repaired, decorated, and outfitted.I'll never make it. Even if this succeeds, it's so delicate that it's not too late. "
In the first place, it's impossible to make an order to fly something that was still under design in two weeks.To be precise, we had less than a month, but as I said, it would take time to finish the interior, put anti-aircraft guns on from the current naked state, and set up the arrival/departure supply deck for Mr. Harpy.Besides, we need to train in manoeuvring and operation.
In essence, we need to complete the development within a week, at the latest two weeks.It's impossible from the beginning.It's the first time I've managed to make it.I mean, even with me, it's tough. Critical.
"That's why I'm flying right now.Wish me every success. "
"Oh, I'm here to support you."
"Please be careful.Mr. Koske's life is worth more than anyone else in this country. "
"Yes, yes."
All right, I'll go.
Take Isla aboard a prototype airship.Unlike ships, they land on the ground, so they can board normally from the ground via the hold.
Now, the prototype of the small ship has crashed many times, but how about this one?I hope you fly well.
