Three years after D Genesis Dungeon

"Hello"

In the lobby of Yoyogi, a middle-aged man in a out-of-place suit called out to Shibu-chi, who was about to dive into the dungeon. When he was young, he was a smart man who felt that he had trained as such.

"Hey, we're too old to be our fans. I'm not interested in Uncle."

Suddenly speaking to a stranger, Kiya Takeshi said rudely. Looking at it, the east hurried and blocked him. Aged men, aside from young men, often have social status. He knew well that it would sometimes be very annoying.

"Hey, Takeshi Kiya. Stop it."

Then, when he turned to a man, he replied safely, "I'm sorry.

"This is rude. I'm like this."

The man gave his business card to the east.

Sugaya "...?"

The title is JADA technical committee member.

"Oh yes, yesterday's record session. Did you have any time? I don't have much time to do with dungeon attacks." "I'll tell you frankly. You've come to the scout." "Scout?"

"Hey, old man. What is a scout? Will it be in a movie?" "It's not a movie, but a stage where you can get drunk with the best story."

Takeshi Kiya frowned, as if she was okay. Then Hayashida, who was listening silently, went out a step ago and opened his mouth.

"Is scouting in JADA a sport athlete?" "It's a leader. It's quick to talk." "Oh!"

Hero-loving Takeshi Kiya exclaimed, but Hayashida controlled it with one hand and said calmly.

"But, uh, Mr. Sugaya? We're explorers." "So?" "I'm not going to take on a job I can't earn." "If I set a world record-" "Wait. If there's any material that can be persuaded, let's go to the cafe there.

Sugaya nodded and walked to the YD Cafe. Shibuchi looked to each other to see if there was any convincing material, but Hayashida followed him behind.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Sugaya immediately cut off the story when six people, who were seated in the unobtrusive seats of the YD Cafe, completed the order.

"Sure, the JOC bounty for the Olympic medals wasn't great, but it was a little higher than Rio." "A little?" "5 million gold, 2 million silver, 1 million copper" "Hah ?? Hero That's good, but the return is that way.

Takeshi Kiya, who was the most reluctant, said so. Shibu Chi is one of the top private yoyogi dungeons for a private party. There is some profit. Anyway, if you are just going to the tournament, there is a high possibility that it will not pay if you are restricted to practice and selection.

"Well, that's it. The JOC's bounty is that much, but in fact, the bounty from each sports organization and sponsor company is paid, and that's a big deal." "But if you're at the Federation, you'll have 20 million gold, 10 million silver, and 8 million copper. 100 million if you break the Japanese record in a marathon." "Hey.

Sugaya smiled with a heartfelt smile as to whether he was going to take ten of them. In Olympic athletics, boys have only 25 events, even with mixed relays, and it is usually impossible to work long distances. But it might be possible now. Now most athletes are not familiar with dungeons.

"Is there 10 competitions?" "It's possible if you don't pass the screening and don't wear the competition time."

When Kiya Takeshi leaned forward and leaned forward, Dennis, who closed his eyes and closed his café au lait with his back relaxedly in his chair, rushed in.

"Takeshi Kiya, don't be fooled. There are taxes in this world." "Well, are you taxing the Olympic bounty? It's kind of a scam."

Sugaya smiled and corrected the wording that he could not wear on Kiya Takeshi's teeth.

"The fraud is terrible. The JOC's bounty is tax-exempt now." "It's a subtle wording."

Sugaya scratched his head in a calm turn in the east.

"The tax exemption limit for the sports organizations is fixed, and the taxable portion is taxed. The rumor seems to be expanding, but for now, gold is 3 million yen, silver is 2 million yen, and copper is 2 million yen. Taxes over 1 million yen will be taxed as miscellaneous income. "" What is it that almost half of it is taken? "

For those who are accustomed to dungeon tax, this is the rate at which they feel like they're being raped. If you add inhabitants tax, the highest tax rate could exceed 50%. It would be no use if they felt stupid.

"It's kind of delicate." "But you could win all the competitions you could win? Such a player is unprecedented. Sponsors will have many draws." "Look at golf and F1. Superstars can make billions of dollars. If you can become such a special hero, it might be even more amazing. "" Hmm. Superstar. Can you get along with celebrities? "

Sugaya thought, what he was saying, but nodded with a good smile.

"Of course.

The athlete's celebrity rate is not low. Anyway, please motivate me for my achievements.

Sugaya smiled with a grin and moved on to the explanation for the screening.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Yoshitake Enoki was taken by a director of the Development Department and walked into the meeting room at a quick pace, thinking about his meeting partner. Speaking of Noriyoshi Miura of Shincho Dungeon Co., Ltd., he must be the development manager of the company.

Mitsubishi Chemical is the largest in the chemical industry, but the difference between profit margins and cash and deposits is that of Shincho Kagaku. Shincho Dungeon Co., Ltd. is a subsidiary of Shincho Kagaku that spun off the dungeon-related materials sector. In recognition, Nippon Shokubai, which developed Powder, is one step ahead, but in a wide range of research and application of materials, it will rise to the true super dungeon.

What is the purpose of that suddenly bringing in a partnership story with a company that hasn't done much in dungeons? By the time you get here, you'll be signed into a confidentiality agreement, and it's clear that something ridiculous will pop up.

Enoki and the others opened their meeting room doors, twisting their heads with suspicion.

Chatan: Right now, we actually have a certain material brought into our Materials Research Laboratory, and we want to do that research in collaboration with Materials.

After exchanging business cards, Miura immediately began to talk about the contents of the joint development, welcoming greetings. The boss is talking to the other party, as if it were a deciding matter, while losing his luck. However, Enoki had no idea why the industry's most advanced companies would come to such a story later in the genre, even though it was one of the major companies.

"For more information, please contact Enoki here at the development site."

Enoki, who was pensive, suddenly shook his head and returned to me.

"So, this is the first collaborative project, I want to identify and synthesize a certain substance." "A certain substance?" "Yes. That's this."

Miura took out a small transparent bottle and placed it on the desk.

"Liquid?" "Yes. If you can finally synthesize it, there is nothing better than that, but first it is identification. I want to find out how to obtain this from dungeons."

Enoki picks up a small transparent bottle filled with liquid and sees it through.

"It looks just like water"

Miura laughed and put her pen on the other side of the bottle, which Enoki had seen through.

"e?"

Enoki was surprised at the position of the pen. It was an unusual position. Miura nodded to say yes.

"It has a refractive index of 7.9" "7.9 ?! And is it a colorless and transparent liquid?"

Enoki involuntarily raised his voice.

Transparent liquid with high refractive index. Its use was clear. Optical microscope and semiconductor. Particularly in semiconductors, it could be very important.

A semiconductor is called a reticle and is reproduced on a wafer by reducing the size of an original semiconductor using a lens. It is like a photograph. The limit of the refinement of δ is governed by Rayleigh's equation-the equation for determining the resolution-in this mechanism.

δ = K × λ / (n × sin θ)

λK is a process-dependent constant, is the wavelength of light used, n is the refractive index of the substance between the objective lens and the object, and is the maximum angle at which light enters the lens. The nx sin θ portion is generally called a numerical aperture.

Conventional miniaturization of semiconductors has focused on reducing the λ portion, that is, shortening the wavelength of light. A KrF excimer laser with an exposure wavelength of 248 nm used to be an ArF excimer laser developed around 2000, and the wavelength becomes 193 nm. But beyond that, development was difficult. Even Enoki, who was in a slightly different field, knew well that the development of the next generation EUV using a CO2 laser was not progressing slowly.

For this reason, efforts have been made to increase the numerical aperture, which was previously thought to be unable to exceed 1.0, and a technique for filling the space between the lens and the wafer with pure water was developed. It increases n. That is the ArF immersion exposure system. Thus, the numerical aperture is steadily increasing, reaching 1.35 for today's best equipment.

Efforts were also made to reduce the constant K. Normally, it is 0.61, but in recent years, it has been reduced to 0.3 or less by introducing various technologies such as modified illumination, phase shift, and super-resolution technology. The theoretical limit is 0.25. Then, the resolution of the ArF immersion exposure apparatus reached 38 nm.

"What if we could replace the pure water in the ArF immersion lithography system with that substance?"

The potter's wheel Miura nodded, saying that he was right, and turned the air.

"If this material could be used in an ArF immersion lithography system, up to 7nm would be possible without multi-patterning on machines that are now widespread."

Currently, ASML in the Netherlands is driving EUV development. Gigaphoton, a subsidiary of Komatsu, has solved the problem of increasing the output of the light source. It became necessary. ASML is now desperately searching for pellicle material, but it is unlikely that a complete one will appear by 2020.

The latter are Canon and Nikon, but both have left EUV development, the former focusing on nanoimprinting with Toshiba, and the latter focusing on ArF immersion exposure equipment. So this liquid is--

"Is it possible that you might become a savior in a world where technology is not keeping up with the demand for miniaturization of semiconductors?"

If it were put to practical use, it would just say that the immersion shock during the development of the F2 laser was again. After all, simply replacing pure water with this substance can achieve 7nm. The cost of multi-patterning and the burden of introducing equipment will be eliminated, and costs will be greatly reduced. Even if the price of this liquid is added. Of course, EUV will be replaced in the future, but at least up to 7nm, current equipment can be used as it is. The benefits were immeasurable.

`` The liquid that was stored in the bag containing the items brought in our dungeon material purchase the other day, but I do not know at all where it adhered or what the target is ''

Touching dungeon items will reveal their names. However, if it leaked or chipped from it, the phenomenon did not occur for the liquid or rag.

"Hah," "I saw your basic research paper on dungeon materials. I'm hoping that a company that is doing such a steady research will be able to follow up on such points. There are only researchers working on applications. ''

Miura smiled bitterly, but Enoki was sweating inside. The report was written by Yoshimura's team. Yoshimura's team has been investigating the physical properties of items since dungeon material research began. If you do not know the nature of the object, you will not be able to produce ideas for application, but this is a study that only increases the item purchase price and labor cost and does not directly produce any profit. It was a big piece of luggage when I considered the performance as a section.

It was Enoki who interrupted that and imposed applied research that was likely to be profitable. Enoki achieved a result in a series of in-house reforms.

"And there was Azusa Miyoshi in the list of researchers who were in that paper. That's it."

Miura said so while televising a bit, just as it was the purpose of the partnership.

The director who heard it turned around and looked back at Enoki. His eyes told him not to talk about Miyoshi's leaving.

If Macho had proposed a partnership with Yoshimura team and Azusa Miyoshi, it would be very bad to know that they were no longer there at the tentative signing stage. It must be at least after the contracts have been formally completed. And we shouldn't be convinced that the best-known explorer in the world, called Wiseman, is Miyoshi. It's no harm even if it's just the same name.

Miura misunderstood the situation.

"Oh, I'm sorry. It's true that you expect from your basic research team."

He said so and bowed.

Nobody is at the center of the basic research team. In addition, Enoki once asked Miyoshi for cooperation and was refused. He stared at the liquid in a small jar, feeling sharply stomach squeaking.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

At the Agricultural Institute's Fruit Tree Tea Research Division, whose lunch break is imminent, a man with glasses and a terrible complexion, Shigeru Sayama, gave a copy of the previously identified citrus fruit to his chief Akinori Mizuki. Had reported. Thanks to the slogan, "Urgent urgency," the researchers who asked for the re-test had done it over the weekend.

"In the case of Dr. Kitajima, when they were tested together, they seemed to be both." "Yes", "Dr. Kitajima was curiously asked what the meaning of this test was. "What's going on?" "That's after. So, what about Dr. Kaminuma?" "It seems that both of the two people who tested first were both Kiyomi." Is it only my home that got the result? "

No one would hear from this result, except that the test equipment was contaminated. No, wait ...

"... First?" "Soon after that, the students who had been in the lab had the identification work done by the guidance of the students who came to the lab, and then the result was that ...

According to his report, the first surprised researcher once again conducted the experiment, and again became Kiyomi. The researchers, who wondered where they had brought the shit from, had the students conduct the experiment again under their supervision. Then--

"It ended up being a settle."

Mizuki said with certainty. Sayama shrugged her shoulders and continued to report.

"The confused researchers suspected the student's mischief, but the student seemed to have no idea why he was being questioned."

The researchers once again cleaned the equipment thoroughly and brought in a colleague who knew nothing to do the same test. Then the result is--

"... It has become Amakusa."

Sayama quietly laid the report on the desk.

"What do you think?" "It's a hardware failure. Oh, I'm in trouble ..."

Sayama, who was in trouble with reading a stick, looked like a bite of persimmon and said, "Is it a mischief of God?"

Certainly, when such a strange crop comes, we will only be confused without knowing whether to doubt the testing equipment, the testing procedure, or otherwise our own sanity. But there are rules. That is natural science.

"Sayama-kun" "Yes?" "Would you like to go to Yoyogi?" "Eh?" "What is closer than Okitsu? It's not an impossible distance to go."

In Okitsu, Shizuoka Prefecture, there is a venerable, citrus research Okitsu base before the agricultural research organization was reorganized in 2006.

"No, it's good to be in Okitsu. There are a lot of weird shops. Yes. The name of the TV program is right there, and there is a shop right there. The dishes come out, and no, they're really mixed.I'm surprised whether it's good or not. Gachapin or mook anyway-- "" Sayama! "

Sayama's plan to change the topic by the angry push of Okitsu and to try to escape with a dash at lunchtime was easy.

"Huh ... I understand. That's what I mean ..." "Yes, I asked the JDA. The citrus seems to grow on the 21st layer of the Yoyogi dungeon." "I heard that there was citrus in the dungeon. "Nothing seems to have been discovered recently." "So what do I do?" "It's mid-February. It's just the right season to harvest grafts."

The scion for grafting should be collected from less than one month to two months before. Citrus is a suitable time for grafting around April, so it's just time to harvest it.

"Does the tree in the dungeon have a dormant period?" "I don't know.

No, isn't it a death flag? Sayama thought, but it seemed to be a reality when she spoke, so she swallowed that word.

"And is it okay to graft the plants inside the dungeon outside?" "Isn't it illegal? Let's talk to the JDA for the time being and prepare a closed place so that it won't spread."

Mizuki smiled laughingly, saying she was a research institution. If a flower is blooming on a branch taken from such a place, and pollen spreads to the world by something like pollen, such as a bee, it can be a big problem. That was where Sayama worried.

"But how do you get to the 21st floor?" "Then I was introduced to the team who brought it back first. I took a completely amateur gemologist below the 21st floor. It should be okay because it has a proven track record. "

Sayama remembered botanists who flew around the Himalayas and the Amazon in search of archetypes in ancient times. He never expected that in this era, and that he would fall on himself.

"I'm really enviable. I'd like to go if I could."

Sayama, who was poisoned in her heart, just answered vaguely, saying "Hah?"

"At least I'd like to give you an allowance for injury and sickness." "Don't assume you're injured, but if that happens, don't worry because you'll have the papers ready, and you'll rarely have this opportunity. Please collect the plants inside, "" I will do my best to meet your expectations. "

Well, you'll rarely have a chance to be a real and adventurer, but I didn't want to be delighted with the chance that you would come with a corpse at the same time. Gender Still somewhere, I guess it was the boy who felt excited and bouncing somewhere.

"By the way, do you have a WDA card?" "I don't have one." "Without that, you won't be able to enter the dungeon. "I'll get it"

Apparently, the story was over. Mizuki shuffled Sayama's shoulders and asked him to say hello, "Let me know when I'm going to depart, so be prepared." You may have heard that when you left, "Yes, the next-generation lab members want to hear you, so go around in the afternoon."

Sayama, who was left alone, glanced up at the outside cold sky from the window and muttered, "What do you do, Yoyogi?"

The Agricultural Research Institute is far from the station. From Tsukuba, Expo'70 Commemorative Park, Midori, off Arakawa, off the coast of Hitachino, and a little wider, it's about the same distance from Gakuen Gakuen and Ushiku. The nearest station is 5 to 7 stations, as if in the middle of the city center, but there are endless roads where you may be tempted to plant street trees to fool the sky. It just continues. Most of the time I go to work by car because of hesitation, but driving a car to Ichigaya in the city center during the commuting time was certainly expected.

"If you use Tsukuba Express, it's an hour from Midorino"

Ichigaya is one line from Akihabara on the Sobu line. If you make a dash at the transfer to Akihabara, it may take less than an hour.

"I guess you're going to pay for transportation?"

When I muttered, I came to lunch time.

"Now, what about the rice?"

Fujimoto, where the Fruit Tree Tea Research Division is located, is the site of the former Fruit Tree Research Institute, but is a short distance away from the headquarters of the National Agricultural Research Organization, and there is nothing other than a part of the Vegetable Flowering Research Division. It was a place. According to the Basic Resident Register, the number of people living in this area is by no means zero. Even though it is part of Tsukuba City.

In other words, there could not have been a restaurant nearby. On the other side of the road there is a ramen made by the demon. A colleague said that she could eat rice at the nearby hotel, but if she chose a poor room, she would have too much impact on the walls of the room (* 1). Leah Mitsuru dies.

"If it's a next-generation lab in the afternoon, why should we use Marvel?"

The Marvel dining room is the dining room of the Tsukuba Industry-Government-Academia Collaboration Center for Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Technology. It's like a company meal, but it's open to the public during the day, and it's quite cheap, and it just feels like a school meal. The facility, located on the same site as the Agricultural Research Institute's administrative center, was also next to the Next Generation Crop Research Center.

When Sayama decided, he started walking towards his car in the parking lot. To be on the 21st floor in the first dungeon experience is Otoko Otoko, who falls short of love. While thinking that we have to find a partner who can eat the rice at the opposite hotel as soon as possible.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Looking up from Heisei-dori, a little west of Kayabacho, the building was designed to resemble the slightly stronger golem that appears in Dorakue-Stoneman. This is the Tokyo Stock Exchange, a strange place that is now the center of Japan's stock exchange, but is now more crowded than spectators.

From the building, two men came out for lunch and opened an umbrella.

"What do you want to do?" "Yes. Sometimes, let's go to the city."

A tall, lean man replied, laughing at the fat man.

"Why are you sightseeing during the daytime on weekdays?" I'm still far

The lean man laughed and replied. The menu on the second floor is different from the menu on the first floor. There are many dishes about twice the price of the ground floor. It is the price of a good lunch course in Italian and French nearby.

"However, that Hayashi, why would it be more than twice the curry?"

Under the guard of the Edobashi Junction, a fat man muttered as he remembered while looking at the entrance of Hinoya Curry.

"Well, the dormitory used is special."

The tall man who heard it glanced at the entrance of the curry shop and answered. He said, "It was painful that Kitchen N was gone." Just a year ago, there was a set-up restaurant called Kitchen N at the place where Hinoya Curry was located.

"It was a restaurant where you can eat for half the price of Meitaiken." "No, it's a normal price for a set meal shop."

After a bitter smile, I went silently to Showa-dori for a while. Then, as he climbed up a large overpass on the street, a fat man cut out his breath.

Goten "Sorry, isn't that strange?"

Gotenyama Tsushin Kogyo, also known as Gotentsuko, is a long-established major electronics company with a very large number of shares issued, but recently its sales have been sluggish and stock prices have been sluggish compared to the past. It says that the stock has been trading a lot for several days.

"Is there any material?" "No, nothing has changed in the press release ..."

The fat man crossed the overpass and went down the stairs while saying hi-hi. The tall man smiled bitterly to work out more and urged him to continue.

"What's wrong?" "The volume of trading has been strange since February," "Weird? Stock price?" "It hasn't changed much."

At the end of the next narrow corner of Nomura Asset Management, you can immediately see a simple but small sign saying "noodles" but with a very noticeable location. This is the ramen corner of Meitaiken. Speaking of ramen, there is always ramen across the street. I don't know why Kyoto Ginkaku-ji is, but the ramen has a fresh chicken soy sauce flavor. Even now, there were several people lined up there. A fat man opened the door of Meitaiken, looking at it sideways.

"Goten Tsukko has many long-term holders, but wasn't there a lot of stockholders releasing it because of the reduction in dividends following the recent slump in stock prices?" "Well, 720-740 yen That's why all the sales that have come out are being consumed. ”“ Is it being consumed? ”“ Yes, the stock price does not fluctuate from that range. So it is hardly talked about, but only the trading volume is increasing every day I'm sorry. "

Everything was being digested there until the end of the sale. A fat man tells the waiter who came to take the order, "Tanpopomurice." It is a movie shot by Juzo Itami, a slender beggar and Turbo sneaking into the kitchen at night.

"What is it? You're a bourgeois." "If you're sightseeing, this is an option. And unfortunately, you're more expensive for about 30 yen."

The fat man laughed and answered, and the tall man said, "It won't change," drank a glass of water, and then put the story back.

"But it's going to go on sale ... Isn't it going to sell or buy?" It seems that those who saw the board are increasing their sales as soon as they are now. "" Is it all digested? How to buy? "" Various companies, Thickness is ordered differently, so if you are the same guy, be careful! "

Yes, that is the problem. For now, there is no reason to collect Gotentsuko stock.

"Acquisitions" "I'm not stupid, it's not sharp. It doesn't go to Panasonic, but it has the second largest number of shares. Is it possible to buy just because it's bought in the market differently?"

Even if Panasonic has bought 100 million shares, it has issued enough to avoid having to submit a large holding report. The number of shares issued by Gotentsuko is the second largest, and even if you buy all the stock that goes on the market, acquisitions will be a dream. That is absolutely impossible without declaring TOB. Probably not.

"But it's trading," "Yes," "But stock prices aren't going up ..."

I'm not sure what the intention is for buying the stock.

"Well, but we're noticing enough, so some of you might be aware of it, so maybe there's a 745 or 750 yen, or a slightly higher-priced one?" However, the sale is not made properly. "

The moment you saw a large number of buy boards, the resulting buys went to zero. That's because stocks with clear downtrends are irresistible to buy at high prices.

"If there is a guy who buys this stock, its purpose is not to collect Gotentsuko stock, but to buy it at a certain price range." "For what?" "

"What's the line of the company who saw the report, buying stock back in addition to maintaining stock prices?" "Even if it's procured from the market, it will be made public, and there may have been so much internal reserves ... PER and PBR won't improve much after you reduce it. "" Well, that's the guy who is holding on to the material that will explode in the near future. "" Hey, it's an insider. You don't know why you wouldn't buy it. ''

That's where the cooking came. The fat man cut out the omurice with a spoon and said, `` Well, if there is a guy you really are collecting, you will be able to see it immediately in a large holding report or change report (* 2) '' Was.

"Yes."

The tall man, while answering it in the sky above, brought the Hayashi Rice that came out to his mouth and swallowed it satisfactorily with this taste.
