Chapter 169: Weight Reduction
"Alright! Let's go!"
The person in the factory drops a huge block of steel from the upper floor.
Underneath it is a steel plate.
The steel plate is not placed directly on the floor
Two sleepers are laid on each side.
They were placed on top of it.
Clank*!
A loud noise echoed throughout the factory
"How is it! Young Master!"
After confirming that the iron lump has stopped, I approach the steel plate.
"Ah! Amazing!"
The factory worker who checked the iron plate with me was surprised.
"It's distorted, but it's not torn or punctured. The distortion itself has been reduced considerably."
“The weight is also reduced! This is amazing!”
I would call the experiment a success.
"Young Master's idea is correct. Is it okay to report this to Yukikaze-sama?
"Please do. I want to work on this structure a little more."
"Oi, oi, are you still thinking about something?"
Yesterday
When exterminating Blood Bees' nests
Harper tried to physically destroy it with magic.
After a few shots, the outer shell of the nest broke and the inside was exposed.
From there, a few more magic rounds.
Then I wondered.
The outer shell broke after only a few shots.
But it took more than 10 shots for the inside to finally start breaking down.
It is a normal law of nature that the outside is harder than the inside.
The bodies of living creatures and the environment that nature has created prove it.
After parting with Harper at night, I wondered
I went to the demolition team's workplace
Blood bees, honey bees, death bees
I was shown the wreckage of a monster nest and other monsters with similar ecology.
And in the morning I came to a conclusion.
"But to think that this kind of cardboard would be this strong.”
We made a number of hexagonal structures and lined them up with no gaps between them.
Then we put thin steel plates on the top and bottom of them.
That's it
Just that
"It's a little softer than a steel plate of the same thickness, but it's cheap and light enough to make up for it. It's a dreamlike material."
----------
"Excuse me! Is it done?"
"Young Master! It is ready!"
I went to the magic stone processing plant
"This is sand-like magic stone."
Before I was born, there was a technique called [Magic Stone Bonding] that had been researched.
The plan is to combine multiple magic stones into one to create a giant magic stone that stores a huge amount of mana.
During the research process, someone thought
[If the magic stone can be combined, can't it also be crushed and divided?]
It was technically possible.
But there was no point in doing it.
The amount of mana that could be stored in such a crushed, ultra-fine magic stone was insignificant.
"Shisu!"
Mother came to the processing plant.
Unusually out of breath
"T-this, this result..."
"Mother, catch your breath first."
Mother takes a deep breath
“Haa~~~…is this for real?"
"It's for real."
We'll go further from here.
"We are ready! The test magic channel is up and running, and the magic sand is filled!"
"Start the test, please!"
"Yes~!"
The worker activates the magic channel.
The magic channel starts to move noisily.
A special metallic thread is connected to the channel.
At the end of it is a table covered with thin hexagonal tubes.
"Magic channel stable! Consumption is moderate! How's it going over there!"
“No leakage of mana from the table! The magic of the magic sand is confirmed to be active! There is no sign of it exploding!”
Two tables, each with one mage touching the magic sand and exercising magic.
One is weight reduction
The other is hardening
“We did it, Mother!”
"Amazing... you came up with a good idea."
The problem with the airship was that it was too heavy.
But if we can reduce the weight this much.
"We can mass-produce them. It would require a lot of magic stones."
"It's a problem, but it's a problem that can be solved."
It's not an all-or-nothing problem as it has been in the past.
"I will send the data to the design department. Anyway, collect data on hardness, usable time, everything!"
"Yes!"
