Three years after D Genesis Dungeon

On the ground, while Cathy was rejoicing with a crushing surprise, preparing for a regular boot camp ahead of tomorrow, we were about to begin experimenting with slime one layer deep in Yoyogi. Was. When asked to Cathy, up to two groups were likely to be taken care of, so too many DAD applications had to be dealt with at the grandchild level after expanding the ground capacity.

"But the amount of this solution was not odd." "I can't sell it just a little bit ..."

Surfactants are chemicals used in all genres. I have been studying for many years and there are many types. We packed them into 100ml spray bottles and prepared them.

"In the first place, it's not clear what works with benzethonium chloride, so you can't narrow it down."

Miyoshi said while taking out the tablet and pen from the storage.

"Anyway, let's try from the end. The target is full. Let's start with the ionic anion type first."

"Are you an anion guy?" "Yes. You can do that in numerical order."

I took out a trigger-type spray bottle labeled Anion 1. There are almost no trigger type bottles for 100ml, but for slime, the trigger type is easier to use than the finger spray type. I was looking for it and bought it.

"Then, let's go one anion."

"Confirmed"

I squirted it at the slime three times, with a pause. One push was 0.3ml, so about 1ml was used.

"Sodium alkyl benzene sulfonate has no effect." "I heard somewhere." "It is a substance that causes foam pollution in the past. Dodecyl was not good, so alkyl benzene is not good." Anion 2!

With a push noise, the anion 2 falls on the slime. The slime shook with Fulrun, but did not change.

"Isn't it possible to use higher alcohols too? Try going on anions 3 and 4 in succession." "No, can I do that? Use another slime?" "

The anion type was terminated when the anion 6 had been accumulated while looking around the area.

"Hmm. The anion type was annihilated. I thought that olefins are so toxic to fish that they would be effective."

Even if the poison worked, it would not be immediate.

"Then, let's go to the non-ion type next." "Isn't it a cation type?"

With that said, I took out the bottle labeled Nonon 1 and turned it to a new slime.

"Nonion 1, shoot!"

Fired with a popping sound, it sprayed into a mist and fell on the slime, but nothing changed. After that, there is no change from 2 to 5. And it was time to take out the sixth.

"Why isn't this the only spray?" "It has a lot of tricks. Please paint it. Anyway."

I dropped the jelly-like substance on the slime.

"Isn't there any particular change?" "Hmm. Isn't it effective?"

Miyoshi unfortunately said so.

"So what is this?" "Menphegor" "What's the devil's name? Are you a relative of Belphegor?"

Chemicals can be easily imagined for names in which well-known substances are stuck together for a long time, but this is out when you do not know.

"It's a nonionic surfactant extracted from pine tar. It was hard to buy one."

Miyoshi is nodding with his arms folded. Red heartless face.

"Do you have any license to handle it?" "No, in the old days it seems that you could buy it at Eisai, but now there is no place to sell it as it is. "Love Dome Carls Guard?"

What is that dubious name?

"Simply speaking, you're going to have a spermicide this time."

Oops. It was a much more ordinary product than I thought. But is the name too suspicious?

"Is a spermicide a surfactant?" "It used to be called Epoca in the candy float series before."

Regardless of the sound, I can't imagine what the product is when I hear it. I think it's sweets. If you think so, it seems that love dome seems to be heard only once.

"Ok of DOM is making OK with a hand that is modeled, and trying to use" a snake pattern popular with women "in the package and individual wrapping, Okamoto-san is a bit strange and interesting. "Is the snake pattern popular with women?" "I feel like there are a lot of Kita and Minami in Osaka. Feel like combat uniforms." "Ah, over there." There was also a case of that. It was cute or Danbo. "

Up to that place. Is it not an urban legend that Danbo appears everywhere?

`` There is a video on how to add it, but the condom instructor of the condom master comes out and those who have condoms other than Okamoto can be redone from sperm and are abused. '' "And then, when you wear it, it seems to shout from your soul, Excalibur!" "... It's too hard to comment, but is there much difference in doing it?"

In any case, the nonion 6 is chopped and collected, and then chopped and collected. Unfortunately there was no effect.

"By the way, the nonion was expected to be the 5th polyoxyethylene nonyl phenyl ether." "I think organic chemistry has a long name anyway." "It's easy," "And that?" "A nonionic surfactant with a protein denaturing effect, which is also used as a spermicide" "Spermicide with a protein denaturing effect "I'm terrible if I just listen to the words." "Yes. I feel a little scary. If it's that amount, it seems that there is almost no effect on the human body. Men seem to hurt when wearing them. "

It was a very subtle real story, and I smiled at will.

After that, I tried all the materials I brought, but could not find any nonionic one that worked.

"When this happens, I can't expect much of the bisexual type, but will you do it for the time being?"

As a result, no effect was observed for the amino acid system, the petaine system, and the amine oxide system.

And the cation type in question.

"I heard that cationic surfactants are all quaternary ammonium salts." "Oh, senior.

I took out the bottle labeled Cation 1 and the bottle labeled Cation 2.

"Well, it was originally a chemistry job, and I wonder what the mechanism of action is. I'm going to start with the usual benzethonium chloride."

When I pulled the trigger on the bottle labeled Cation 1, the slime popped off. Only 0.3 ml.

"I'm impressed when I look at it." "I mean, it's just now, but it's meaningless."

Miyoshi is twisting her head.

"What kind of effects do you think would be like this?" "The most dramatic would be to lower the surface free energy and make it difficult to maintain the shape. ―― ”“ Yes. But then, other surfactants should have a similar effect a little. ”“ If it is due to the bactericidal effect, is protein denaturation and enzyme cleavage first? ”

I said while remembering the mechanism of action of the fungicide.

"Nonion 5 would be the same."

That polyoxyethylene is ether.

"Well. Then, sugar decomposition and lactic acid oxidation ... the effect on metabolism, and lysis and leakage of phosphorus and potassium due to membrane permeability impairment." "Yes. It is said to act on enzymes that support the activity of the plasma membrane.

Miyoshi took a bottle of Cation 2 from my hand and sprayed it on a nearby slime. The slime just shook with plurn and nothing happened.

Miyoshi shrugged when he saw it.

"Is it supposed to be effective?" "Yes. This cation 2 is benzalkonium chloride."

Miyoshi squeezed the trigger twice more, but had no effect.

"This is strange." "What?" "Benzalkonium chloride and benzethonium chloride are almost the same in terms of their action." "Same?" "The antimicrobial spectrum, the mechanism of action just mentioned. Are almost the same up to the main side effects of using them.

Miyoshi pulled the trigger again and said.

"Isn't this really irrelevant to the chemical mechanism of action?"

For a line that transcends chemical experiments, I often thought silently.

"It's hard to say that it is zero to make a dramatic difference with very little difference-but, Miyoshi" "What is it?" "You, when you dive into the dungeon for the first time and use something like Dodecyl, "Yes," "What then, when using benzethonium chloride, what were you thinking?"

Miyoshi shook his head, remembering a while ago.

"Hmm. I don't remember well, but when I first started, I saw the slime sticking here and there, and it looked like a fungus ..."

That's true. The slime moving around the cave resembles a simulated fungus.

"Actually, I was thinking of something similar. Did you know that benzethonium chloride was the main component of Makilon?" "That, of course." "It was a disinfectant." "Senior, no way ..." "I think ..."

So it's almost certainly our fault that slime is vulnerable to benzethonium chloride. We thought the slime was a fungus, and Miyoshi blew a macillaon on it. In other words, I had a strong image that I seemed to be weak, and from that point on, slime became a weakness. Of course it may be the making process.

"Well then, maybe you mean? There are other monsters ..." "Of course, if it could affect the image of an ordinary investigator, don't you think the opposite is true?" "Reverse?" Damn, there's nothing going on! There's no weakness in this guy!

At this very moment, monsters are fighting explorers all over the world. If that image feeds back into the monster's properties, they'll get more and more of the features we envision.

"However, if this were the unknown effect of making, we would be the only ones who could do this. I can't tell for now."

The first time I sprayed the slime was Miyoshi, and I just stood beside me. Certainly, we were thinking of the same thing, but if it affected the subject, would anyone be as effective as long as we were within the scope of the making? Or did it happen because you happened to be thinking the same thing? Or is the making irrelevant, who will do it?

"Proof of this seems to be difficult."

Miyoshi said she would put cation 2 in storage. Absolutely.

In any case, if so, slime would only be effective with benzethonium chloride. If patented on its own, researchers around the world would try to evade patents on any and all similar substances. You may then be exploring the mechanism by which it affects slime. In fact, without knowing that it is a wasteful effort. It was evident that everyone had their heads with unclear results. Of course, there's no chance that someone will add a new weakness to the slime.

"It's a bit bullshit, this world." "If everything is made up of D-factors, I don't know if it's a substance that can be of any nature. It's a bullshit in itself. "

I sighed and replied.

"In the end, it may be more correct for research to use dungeons to study how and how to use the D-factor." "Is it wrong to try to be physically divisible by the science of the earth? "It denied us of the previous company with all my might."

We were at an earlier company studying the properties of dungeon items. Even if applied to something, nothing can be done without knowing the original properties. Although I thought that was the case, basic research does not produce any direct benefits. This year, my boss who cares about his performance has been forced to reluctantly develop money to make money ... Well, if it goes well, I won't have any trouble. The result is now. that? Maybe, in a sense, is Enoki a benefactor?

I shook my head to break any thoughts that could lead to an incomprehensible conclusion.

"Of course, it's not wasteful, but there are studies that try to extract energy from evil crystals, for example?" "Yes" "Oh, I think, evil crystals like a high-level aggregate of D factors, Because it is handled with the common sense of the earth, it is instantly decomposed into D factors, so I think it would be better to treat it as a D factor itself. "" Senior. I understand what I say, but I understand the meaning not"

Miyoshi had Hatena floating above her head.

"Now, do you extract some energy from the magic crystal and turn it into heat, for example, to turn the turbine of the generator?" "Yes" "No. It's better to ask the constituent D-factors for electricity! "

If there is enough D-factor in the world, and if D-factor in the world can be turned into electricity, it will be an electric appliance that does not need batteries or power supply. In earth science, an attempt to transfer electricity by radio would be similar. The idea is that if the concentration is outside the dungeon where the concentration is not sufficient, that part will be supplemented with a magic crystal, which is a lump of D factor.

"How is it?" "So it would be faster to study it directly."

Miyoshi looked down and kicked the stones under her feet.

"If it were possible, it would mean that various devices that would be brought into the dungeon would be released from the battery yoke."

I don't know if we can supply it most stably, so I think batteries will be needed for emergencies.

"I'm glad that the procurement price of DP House is going to drop so much."

He raised his face and shrugged with a smile.

"--It seems too hard to imagine it, it's too hard to imagine it. Why do you try to attach wires to the magic crystal and connect the bean ball?" "That's terrible. Yeah, in the case of a magic crystal, I don't think it's useless if you check the physical properties and try to manage it. "" I think it can be done with making, and as far as you see the slime, you can do it once It seems that everyone can reproduce it. ''

After we discover, no matter who uses benzethonium chloride, the slime will pop off. This means that once a property is set to an idea, it can be used by any user.

"This is exactly what synchronicity is." "Is there something like Jung's collective unconsciousness, and does Dantsuk refer to it?" "I believe in collective unconsciousness itself I don't know, but if I'm told by all the explorers that Dantsk-chan, who seems to be reading that thought, is going to be collectively unconscious, that's right. "

Then the world is reconstructed based on the D factor.

"It means that if you use the making to establish how to use the D-factor, it will be reproducible to everyone." "Well, if the story so far is correct, it is."

Miyoshi called Kavas and leaned on his belly, placing his hand on his forehead.

"Senior. I'm just starting out, but I feel like I'm seized by the fate of the world." "It's strange, I feel like that. I couldn't train my earpick."

When I said that in a Yankee-looking shit, we looked at our faces and laughed vigorously. Yes, it is not holding. They are being held.

"Let's think about the use of magic crystals anyway. There are quite a few stocks for the rewards of Arsulz." "As expected Miyoshi, but still check it." "Senior, I do not know If so, why don't you look up if you don't want to know? "" Yes.

Curiosity kills cats. If it were successful anyway, even if we didn't mind, we would be more like a sharp soldier who would make the dungeon more familiar with the earth. It's a pity that the witch hunt be surrounded by a crowd holding torches.

I don't think dungeons can be lost anymore, and it's too dangerous to replace them all, no matter how useful the D-factor is. Even if you enjoy the convenience of dungeons, you should continue to improve your existing technology. How to find the place to drop it ...

"Well, do we have to believe that humanity is not stupid?"

Miyoshi who heard it would have thought about the same thing, saying "supply and price will play its part for a while." Sure, no matter how convenient it can be, it is impossible to cover the world with less than 100 dungeons. For now. In fact, the discovery of potions does not mean that global healthcare has been deprecated.

"I hope it is"

When Miyoshi left Kavas, he stepped on Huns and the earth.

"I can't help being seized. At this time, let's do that with all my might!" "You, that's the line you say in such a spirited pose?" "Senior. "Hey!"

I stood up and knocked on my knees with a sloppy reply.

"Reactive surfactants and high molecular surfactants are unlikely to be examined, but for the time being, let's go back and try all the ones that have prepared chemicals."

Each time I found a slime, I was thinking about how to convert the D-factor into electricity, spraying a new chemical.
