The Economics of Prophecy

"It's not something that can be dealt with on the extension of the magic wand."

Mathier said. Her hand holds the energy core of a magic laser. Next door Noel is getting ready for a new cylinder. It's specially made for new hypotheses.

"Of course, that's your destiny. It's just that I was in the wrong digits. I'm worried about the measures. I want to do what I can."

I said a piece of scattered paper before. As usual, all you can do is pick up ideas that seem to be available from previous life knowledge. But there's no way that's the case with more ideas than lasers.

I saw the paper I was writing. The word "beam" cannon, the charge particle "soma" cannon, is written. That must be a particle accelerator. There's no way you can make it. Even modern knowledge doesn't allow me to escape to SF. Let's chill our heads.

I'm going to look at the Magic Catalyst.

"Then bring me Fulsey. The newest report from across the river, difficult to interpret."

◇ ◇

"No, look, I just hung up a little bit. If you stick it on, it'll heal. By and large, the blood has stopped..."

"Terrible. We need to treat him as soon as possible."

"Yes, the Great Sage is a treasure of the country."

Walk away in the hallway of the new building so Fulsey can be dragged by two magicians. When I saw him standing his index finger, he even cut his finger off. They're both aged female magicians, by the way.

"It's hard to be great."

That's how I snuffed into the room of interest.

"So, so, don't let your hands pass over the chalet..."

"Please check the catalytic activity of this extract"

Shelley and Vinaldia are flying instructions to the magicians. There is a good deal of collaboration with the team that didn't make it at first. Looks like Leonardo had a pretty rough time though.

"Vinder, Master Alfina's not here."

Vinaldia said she noticed me.

"Don't tell me like I'm always after Alfina. I'm here to see the catalyst."

I'll turn the paperwork that summarizes the test results using the array. Several magic catalysts have also been discovered from samples of glacial lakes in Flying Dragon Mountain. However, the difficulty of generating and evaluating mass production are demanding. Is the growth rate of fungus slow because it comes from a cold environment? Or oxygen......

"With that said, what's going on with the experiment with the magic vegetarian entanglement?

I remember when I came here before. I don't think the beam cannon proposal just now has disappeared from my head.

"I'm afraid I haven't got my hands around you."

"I'm sorry, you're right. Sorry for the extra work."

Mass production of lasers requires massive amounts of magic catalysts. Besides, there is another catalyst to make the special specifications that came down. Natalie is also taking a break from the store to help, apparently.

"Well, curator... the Great Sage is here for a little while. I just cracked one array..."

"... it's expensive because you make regular glass by grinding it. Well, you said you found something good."

Is that a finger injury? With that said, the same thing happened before.

"Good stuff, which catalyst were you looking at... Oh, this is it."

I grabbed the broken slide glass that was on the table. A radial crack is formed. There was definitely an unusual pattern on the Sense Demon paper underneath it. The array is distorted due to a cracked array, but the magic appears to create a pattern in concentric circles.

"The Great Sage may replace the Dragon Crystal."

"I see. Is this pattern happening the separation of the wavelengths of magic? Dragon crystals are precious."

It's a boulder full sea. I even suspected for a moment that I was running into a hobby. It was my fault. But, well, it doesn't mean I need it right now. I pulled the broken glass aside.

"What does Vinaldia have?

"Preparation for testing the Alfina-like” cloth ”dyeing catalyst"

Vinaldia said. In her hand is a piece of cloth dyed in many colors. I see, not glass, but an array of cloths.

"so that Vinder can work safely."

Shelly makes fun of me. You don't hate it when you say it in an exhausting face. I just have to bow my head.

The way Alfina controls the purple magic generator crosses the back of her brain. I want to reduce that disastrous light a little bit like the crystal. Something caught me thinking that far.

"Seriously, of that light..."

I saw the broken glass again. Hibi appears to be occurring around the dot of a magic catalyst. Suppose this was caused by a magic catalyst...... Did the magic vegetarian do something............

"Magnetic vegetation, and refractive index of magic............ That image of light...... Well, maybe..."

Some information in the brain creates a network and connects with a whole new meaning.

"It's worth making sure............ it is. Shelley, Vinaldia. I'm sorry, but I need you to bring me a sample of this. Can you lend me one more glass stick as long as possible?"

"Wait."

Shelley stands up immediately and heads to the shelf.

"... also keep the culture of this mucus?

Vinaldia said.

"It could be empty..."

"You don't have time. It's okay, 'cause Natalie's coming home soon."

Vinaldia laughed at my hesitations. I'll thank the two of you and head to the old building with what I've got.

"Lend me a light road platform, Noel."

I told Noel I was going up the stairs. Incidentally, some fullsies have doubled in thickness with their fingertips in a bandage and are considering a report with Mathier.

"What do you do?

Noel asks as he pulls out the optical pavement.

"I want to do two experiments. The first is the speed of magic."

"Ricardo is somewhat obsessed with the speed of magic. It's so important to say that the speed of magic and light is the same."

"I can't say it matters in practical terms..."

If magic is the speed of light, the mass of a particle that mediates magic, falling under photons or gravity, may be zero. It's important. But in practical terms, even if the speed of magic is one-tenth of the speed of light, there is no problem with lasers. At 300,000 kilometers per second, there's no way we can avoid 30,000 kilometers.

However, it could be important in terms of what I'm about to do.

I put a glass stick on the side of the optical pavement and put black paper in front of it.

Ask Mayteel to pass the laser through. The light produced indirectly from magic is cut with black paper, but the magic laser penetrates the glass rod intact. Magic creates new light in the glass. I observe the colour of light before and after the paper, in the air and in the glass bars.

"Nothing strange seems to have happened, though?

"Oh, that's fine"

Mathier tilted her neck. The speed of magic is slower than the speed of light... at least 60% of the time. All right, it's more likely. Next experiment.

I saw the catalyst solution Shelly and the others had prepared. It is a liquid that emits yellow fluorescence dissolved in oil.

"Mm-hmm. This was just Noon."

"Yeah, in the curator's opinion, it has the effect of separating magic like dragon crystals. Wasn't it?"

"That's what I'm thinking, but is that an improvement on Ealis now?

Look at me, Fulsey said, making the device on the optical pavement Ealis specification. Sure, that's not what I'm gonna do at this time. But if my predictions are correct, this catalyst can be used to cause a completely different phenomenon.

"It's morning."

I went to see the sun in the morning. That means the day has come for us to leave King's Capital. Like promising sunny weather, the sun is half hidden.

Because a long shell sticks out of the lab window. It is the work of Noel, who made a massive crushing of the Knights' magic gold armor.

In the corner of the room, Noel, exhausted, is lying on his desk.

"I can do this one."

Mayteal brought a cylindrical bottle with a fluorescent liquid. I can understand the neighborhood of my eyes even through the glass.

"Seniors. Calculation results. I'll tell you what. It's a pretty bold simplification and a rampant approximation. I hate to say it, but it's like an investigation."

"If Meer can't do it, no one can."

I caressed her head by accident. He came back from the Chancellery and hung out with me all night. Well, later......

"Ricardo. I brought it."

The door opened and Alfina came in. The hand holds a tightly wrapped round object. I got all the last parts.

Did you manage to make it?
