Floating Stone. This blue object, when given an order through magic, is a floating substitute.

That's all I ask, it's no different against floating magic. But what makes this giant demon stone-like stone amazing is that it has the power to float what it is in contact with without consuming magic power, and it has the effect of eliminating unlimited resistance needed to fly.

I put a floating stone on the magic armored car Dezelt, which was otherwise impossible to fly, and it rose to the sky as if it were a balloon. Even though it is not an efficient body to fly, nor does it have wings.

It looks like a balloon, but with a chunk of armor floating around, I can understand it as a substitute for more than that.... Blah, I was in a hurry then because I'm going up everywhere.

So what happens if I put it on the aircraft?

On Trovaon 9, which was in the process of being assembled, I was forced to make a mounting space and put a floating stone on it.

The result was dramatic.

The Demon Stone engine dramatically improves its speed, even though it stays the same. Anyway, I'm afraid it showed a speed comparable to the highest speed despite the low output.

Probably the result of the weight and air resistance of the fuselage being largely ignored.

According to the testimony of the SS pilot on board, he reacted well by the time he was reasonably athletic, light on the joystick and hypersensitive to the fuselage.

Apparently, the air resistance was not completely gone, and it was amplified by the floating stone about the rudder as well.

Honestly, I myself tilted my neck about what made the rudder better controlled, but it turns out that the copycore that was actually linked to the floating stone had issued that order to the stone.

Floating stones were not just floating items.

Even more surprisingly, the decrease in resistance resulted in extremely low magic consumption and an overwhelming increase in the distance travelled.

For example, when flying from Willidis to the elves, a single replenishment was required even when the magic tank of the augmentation tank was full, but if the floating stone was mounted, it would be calculated that it was non-replenishable and could go back and forth at leisure.

What's this cheat? If it was a relic of the ancient civilization era, how developed was it...

Trovaon's E-4 magic engine has the ability to absorb atmospheric magic to add to the engine's magic power. If you fly below cruise speed, the floating stone mounted aircraft will gain almost infinite navigation distance because the magic consumption is below recovery.

Well, even if the fuselage is infinite, it's a different matter of how much a pilot can withstand with a narrow cockpit.

Dreams will spread if we mount this floating stone on fighters and helicopters......

Basically, you don't need that much sailing distance, so you can turn the magic you were using for travel and exercise to the Thunder Cannon of your weapon to gain power. There is also room for a shield feature that places a magic barrier on the fuselage.

Much more power!... but unfortunately there is only one floating stone.

I let Saphiro analyze if I could replicate it, but the answer didn't sound 'impossible'.

I'm so sorry.

Then we'll figure out how to make the most of this precious floating stone.

The conclusion drawn was a proposal to create a long-range reconnaissance aircraft filled with observation equipment in a form that would take advantage of a distance of navigation equal to infinite weight disregard.

Speed becomes more important if it is also a force reconnaissance aircraft flying through enemy lands, but as long as it flies at high altitudes, it was safe, as long as it has not been confirmed that it can fly over 10,000 meters of altitude into this world in the first place.

Incidentally, Trovaon 9 recorded an increase to an altitude of up to 20,000 metres during a floating stone mounted test. I couldn't try any more though because the engine screamed. The high altitude is very cold. The SS pilot was flat, but would have turned back sooner, realizing the cold, had ordinary humans been on board.

Well, I'll design a long-range reconnaissance aircraft. Honestly, if you want to put a floating stone on it, it's fine in any way, but as for the shape, keep the plane in shape. Safilo corrects structural calculations, details, etc., so I did the exterior surface and necessary capabilities, as well as the placement.

You're good at drawing. The shape doesn't matter if you try it on the most floating stone, so even if it's like a giant rabbit, for example, it flies.

Within the Willidis Third Hangar, magically generated parts are created one after the other, and artificial cores combine them.

It's like fitting parts in a mechanized automotive factory. The difference is that there is no mechanical arm, and the parts float on their own to fit and connect where each should fit.

Mr. Daska sat in a folding chair and was grinning bitterly as he watched how it went.

"Really, the power of Saphiro is amazing."

Everyone should want it, says the old magician. Yuna shook her head to the side.

"I do want it, but it's impossible to draw the power of the core that far without your master"

"Sure. Assuming I own a dungeon core or an artificial core, there's no way I can come up with this!

Cochri and Yuna nodded. Feeling the sight of both of us, I keep working. He said he'd just operate a holographic panel.

Be a reconnaissance aircraft, but at the same time allow it to function as a transport aircraft. There is only one floating stone, so the idea is to be able to use it all.

As I said earlier, high altitude and no enemies also held back the idea of adding that extra part. If you have enemies at high altitudes too, the surplus will be shredded and performance will be divided into speed and mobility.

Nevertheless, the defense device, the so-called magic barrier (shield), is to be equipped. It's a good idea, but it could be targeted when you're flying at low altitudes.

The fuselage has grown considerably. Because they also equipped toilets and kitchenettes in preparation for long air missions.

Even though there is almost an infinite range of navigation if you limit your speed, the humans inside don't. Prepare for flight at high altitudes and also provide pressure relief and measures to freeze exterior and equipment.

The length and width are larger than forty metres.

If you were a reconnaissance specialist, you could have made it a little smaller, but given the fact that you would shoot and observe the ground from high altitudes, put on equipment for enemy use and equipment for mapping, etc., you had better be able to afford it.

When the outside of the fuselage is assembled, the next step is to get your hands on the interior. The SS mechanic who was waiting will follow my instructions and put on the placement of the magic transmission line, all kinds of equipment and equipment.

"Jin."

Mr. Daska called me.

"What name did you give this aircraft?

"Poynix"

Immortal bird, aka Phoenix. I think Poinix was definitely Greek.

I have a few thoughts about the name, and previous TF fighter series have also chosen one with different acronyms.

TF-1 Falke is F, TF-2 Draken is D, TF-3 Trovaon is T. In order to make it easier to understand when written with abbreviations, this general purpose reconnaissance aircraft was also used as P in poinix.

I wondered if Phoenix would be okay, but I distanced myself because it sounded a little close to Falke.

Note that undead birds become P or F. depending on the country. I think Phoenix was P too, but I think there were a few countries starting with F.

gossip.

By using Willidis' wealth of magic and stored demon stone resources more and more, the large reconnaissance aircraft was completed without crossing the day. If I did the trick with my old personal magic, it wouldn't be something I found out how many days it took.

TR-1 poinix.

The aircraft dedicated to long-range reconnaissance and observation missions are scheduled to actually fly after operational testing while testing the equipment on board.

If that goes well, I will be scouting the Diggrattle Grand Empire's own country, its capital soon.
