Survival in Another World With My Master

Episode 420 - In the R&D Department

"It's not a very good way to appear..."

Envy?

I'm not jealous!

Ifrita, who was proud of Isla's face, got angry. Behind them, by the way, Lamia's blacksmith muttered, "I envy you." Oh, yeah. It's quite impossible to hold Lamia. My lower body is too long. And the lower half of the snake is a chunk of muscle, so it seems to be heavy. I've been told by Isla before that you shouldn't ask Lamia about her weight.

"So, uh, what do I start with?"

"First, I'll report on your progress while you're out." Improved lightning cannon, but improved reliability was solved by changing the magic wire used in the magic circuit from Mithril Copper Alloy to Mithril Silver Alloy. I think it's enough, at least since I endured a hundred shots in a row. "

"Nh, the cost will go up, but it's a reasonable solution"

Reliability is more important than being a weapon, isn't it?

It was a very satisfactory improvement. By switching to a material with lower magic resistance and higher conductivity, I suppressed the magic circuit overheating.

There has been a lot of other progress, but a little bit of research on ritual building technology is noteworthy.

"Ritual Architectural Technology?"

"The magic power gathering technique used in the Adolphe Shrine. He named it ritual building technique."

"Oh, I see. How did the research progress, exactly?"

Originally, I struggled to develop a mana trap technique that automatically collects magic power, so I focused on amplifying the miracle of healing in the Adolphian Shrine. The structure, the circuitry, was quite complicated, and I was struggling to analyze it.

"For the time being, we were focusing on the part where we collected magic power, but the results came out." It's a kind of magic circle -- it's a kind of three-dimensional magic circle. "

Three-dimensional magic circle. There was a theory.

"I don't know if Adolphe's cathedral architects use it knowingly, but there is a theory among magicians and alchemists, but it is an area that hasn't advanced at all. I wonder where the cathedral architects got to know such a complicated three-dimensional magic circle."

"Nh, mystery."

Aira and Ifrita are thriving, but I'm full of crap. To sum up, it seems that to efficiently collect magic power, it is not enough to simply create a fine enclosure of eyes with a high magic conductivity mithril, etc., and it is necessary to put up magic wires in a shape suitable for that. Moreover, the shape is strictly determined as a price, and the efficiency drops as soon as the shape collapses.

"Honestly, I can only use it for now, but I can't say that I understand the content of the technology." Currently, you can now produce the same efficiency as the pure mythril bird cage you built with the conductor of mythril copper alloy, and it's not very practical. "

"Further technical analysis and development are required"

“Yes, but if we study this technology, we might be able to put into practice the mana trap you were looking for in the first place.”

"I hope that happens to you."

This will make it easier to use tools that use magic power even when you are not near the pulse hole where magic power is blown out endlessly, and may also allow you to create energy resources such as magic crystals. In that way, we can hope for a great positive effect on the development of the country.

"We are also researching serial magic guns and anti-physical barrier generators. The serial magic gun was a prototype in itself, but I think it was reviewed from the design due to problems with the accuracy of parts during mass production."

"We're still developing air-to-air equipment for Harpy." It's difficult to make it lighter. "

Don't use mythical materials, it's difficult to do so.

Other R&D staff will also report. I see. I'm pretty much a no-touch pistol when it comes to serial magic pistols, so as far as mythical materials are concerned.

I can supply a lot, but I can't use it for mass-produced products.

"Since the production of magic iron and magic steel using pulse holes has stabilized, we can do the same for silver and copper. We are asking them to carry out research at the pulse hole laboratory in the Omit Great Wilderness."

Oh, there it is.

Originally, it was a base with a pulse hole that was maintained as the main base in the Omit Great Wilderness. It was originally the capital of the Omite Kingdom, but it was a desolate wilderness as far as the eye can see. I built the farmland, so there's nothing wrong with being self-sufficient. Now, it plays an important role in the production and research of special products using pulse holes, and as a trading base with elves in the Black Forest.

Yeah, what about the boat?

The shipbuilder took the carpenters out in the morning.

Half of the mages on board were that way.

Speaking of which, the R&D Department has fewer people than usual. Are you going to the ship for maintenance and inspection?

Speaking of which, who's in charge of food technology?

"You must be going to the cannery today." You're supposed to be working on the canning menu. ”

"The new product is going to be a fresh vegetable can that can be eaten right after opening."

"You've always been a meat type, right?"

All the herbivores are happy. But what about a can of fresh vegetables? I don't think it contains cabbage chips. It's fine if it's pickles... no, why don't you put the vegetables in the boulder and put them in the can?

Speaking of which, he said he wanted to build more canneries.

He said, "I want three more lines."

It's easy to make the box bigger, but I need to produce manpower, equipment, and materials.

If we increase the number of lines, we will need to make cans for cans, alchemy tools for lids, cooking equipment, manpower, and so on. We'll have to talk to Mertie, and the commercial guild will need to confirm the can increase.

“For now, I'll do the payment later, so I'll consider it positively. Either way, we can't spoil the food we have."

Food production in the Merinado Kingdom is overstated by the farmland I've created. Of course, the movement to export the food to other countries is also progressing, but the added value will increase if the canned food can withstand long-term storage. Of course, it's impossible to make them all into canned foods, so I would probably sell them in a large jar as a preserved meal, such as an old-fashioned pickle. I can sell the grains and beans that last forever.

Then, after receiving a detailed report, I decided to quit the R&D Department and go to my office. Oh, I'm busy, I'm busy... I've got a lot to do.
