D Genesis, 3 Years after Dungeon Appeared

"Hello."

In the lobby of Yoyogi, a middle-aged man in a misplaced suit called out to a party of Shinji Chee who was about to dive into the dungeon from behind.

When I was young, I was a smart man who made me feel like I was training quite a bit.

"Hey, you're too old to be our fan. I'm not interested in the old man."

Kiyabu, who was suddenly shouted at by a stranger, said so rudely.

Seeing it, the east hurried over him. Younger men, however, are less likely to have social status than older men. He knew very well that it can be very troublesome from time to time.

"Hey, Kiya Takeshi. Stop it."

So, when I switched to a man, I said, "Sorry. Can I help you?" he replied without difficulty.

"Excuse me. This is what I am."

The man gave his business card to the east.

"Sugaya... Kyuya?

The title serves as a JADA expert.

"Oh, from yesterday's recording meeting. Anything wrong? I'm not going to have much time for a dungeon attack."

"Then let's be frank. I'm here to scout you."

Scout?

"Hey, old man. What the hell is a scout? You want me to put it in a movie?

"It's not a movie, but a stage where you get drunk on the best stories."

"What about it?"

The old man looked like he was ok with his head, and Kiyabu frowned.

Hayashida, who was listening in silence, stepped out one step ago and opened her mouth.

"Scouting at JADA means being a sportsman?

"That's the leader. I can't wait to talk to you."

Oops!

Yoshiyabu, the hero's favorite, shouted, but Hayashida took control of it with one hand and said calmly.

"But, uh, Sugaya-san? We're explorers."

So?

"I'm not going to take on a job I can't earn."

"If you put out the world record..."

"Wait. If we have the ingredients to convince us, let's go to the café there. It's too prominent here."

"Okay."

Sugaya nodded and walked toward the YD cafe.

Shibushi looked at each other to see if there were any convincing ingredients, but Linda followed him first.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Sugaya just cut out the story when the six men who took the discreet seats at the YD cafe finished ordering.

"The JOC bounty for Olympic medals was certainly modest, but increased slightly from Rio."

A little?

Five million gold, two million silver, one million copper.

"Huh? It's nice to be a hero, but that's what returns mean."

That's what Kiyabu, who was the most ridiculous, said.

Even though Shibushi is the top part of the Yoyogi Dungeon as a private party. The earnings are quite good.

If you only go to the tournament, it is likely that if you are bound to practice or a selection meeting, it will not suit you.

"Well, wait a minute. JOC's bounty is all there is, but in fact, the bounty from each competitor and sponsor company is paid, and it's big."

"It's none of our business."

"Still, if you're in the coalition, you'll have 20 million gold, 10 million silver, and 8 million copper. One hundred million if we update the Japanese records in the marathon."

"Well, if it's $200 million for ten pieces of gold, that's pretty good."

Sugaya smiled inside, wondering if they were going to take ten of them. In athletics at the Olympics, there are only 25 sports for men to play in a mixed relay, and it is not usually possible to have long distances.

But it might be possible now. Now that most athletes are not familiar with the dungeon.

"Can you play 10 games?

"It's possible to go through the screening meeting without even wearing competition time."

Hee.

As Kiyabu stepped forward slightly, Dennis, who kept his back in the chair loosely, closed his eyes and mouthed the cafe au lait, pushed in.

"Kiyabu, don't let me fool you. There are taxes in this world."

"Huh? Is it taxable on Olympic bounties? That's what I'm talking about. It's a scam."

Sugaya corrected it with a bitter smile.

"Fraud is terrible. For now, JOC's bounty is supposed to be tax-free."

"It's a subtle word, isn't it?"

Sugaya scratched his head in the cool east.

"The share of the competition group is determined by a tax exemption frame, and further portions are taxed. Rumor has it we're going to broaden the boundaries, but at the moment, we're going to be taxed as miscellaneous income for amounts over 3 million yen in gold, 2 million yen in silver, and 1 million yen in copper."

"What, you can hold almost half of that?

For them who are accustomed to dungeon taxes, it's a fraction of what they feel like.

Combined with the resident tax, the maximum tax rate may exceed 50%. Even if they feel ridiculous, there's nothing they can do about it.

It's kind of subtle.

"But is there any chance that you can win the competition? Such an athlete is unprecedented. Sponsors are going to have a lot of trouble."

"Look at golf and F1. Now is the time for one superstar to make billions of yen? If I could be such a special hero, it could be even more amazing."

"Hmm. A superstar. Can we go out with entertainers?

Sugaya thought to herself what he was saying, but she nodded with a nice smile.

"Of course. We'll find out more."

The athlete's wife's performer rate is not low.

Anyway, be motivated by my track record.

Sugaya moved on to explain to the selection meeting with a smile in her heart.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Yoshibu Hagi was taken by the manager of the development department and walked quickly to the conference room to think about the visitor.

Speaking of Normal Miura of Makoto Dungeon Co., Ltd., he should be the development manager of his company.

The largest chemical industry is Mitsubishi Chemical, but it is true super chemistry that separates it greatly in terms of profit margin and current deposits.

The subsidiary of True Super Chemistry, which has made the dungeon-related materials sector independent, is True Super Dungeon Co., Ltd., which can be said to be the top manufacturer in dungeon materials research in Japan.

In terms of visibility, the Japanese catalyst that developed "powder" is one step ahead, but a wide range of research and material applications will lead to an increase in military control in the true super dungeon.

Suddenly, what is the purpose of bringing in a partnership story with our company that has not performed particularly well in dungeon-related matters?

By the time I got here, I was asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement, and there was no doubt that something terrible was coming out of it.

Strangely twisting their heads, the trees opened the door to the conference room.

"Quickly, in fact, some of the materials from our materials lab have been brought in and we want to do the research jointly with Hokoku Materials."

When Miura exchanged business cards, the greeting was there, and he quickly started talking about the contents of the joint development.

The director is lucky enough to get off, but the partnership talks to the other party like a decision.

However, Hagi had no idea why the leading companies in the industry, even though they were a part of the major players, would bring up such stories in the aftermath of this genre.

"If you need more information, please go to this tree at the development site."

Suddenly the manager shook the tree, which was sinking into the mind, and returned to me.

"So, this is the first joint project, but I would like to identify and synthesize a substance."

"Some kind of substance?

"Yes, that's it."

That said, Miura took out a small clear bottle and put it on the desk.

"Liquid?"

"Yes, eventually, if we can synthesize it, we'll never go beyond that, but we'll start with identification. I want to find out how to get this from the dungeon."

The tree was filled with liquid, and when I took a small clear bottle, I tried to pass it through.

It just looks like water.

That said, Miura stood on the other side of the bottle with her pen passing through the tree, laughing.

Huh?

The tree was surprised at the misalignment of the pen. It was too unusual.

Miura nodded affirmatively.

It has a refractive index of 7.9.

"7.9?! And a colorless, transparent liquid?!

The tree raised its voice unexpectedly.

Clear liquid with high refractive index. The purpose was clear. An optical microscope and a semiconductor.

Especially in semiconductors, it could be very important.

A semiconductor is more like a photograph, where the original semiconductor called reticle is reduced by a lens and reproduced on a wafer.

The limitations of refinement are governed by Rayleigh's formula, which finds the resolution δ (delta).

δ = K × λ/(n × sinθ)

K is a process-dependent constant, λ (lambda) is the wavelength of light used, n is the refractive index of the substance between the objective lens and the subject, and θ (theta) is the maximum angle at which light enters the lens.

the n × sinθ moiety is commonly referred to as the number of openings.

In the refinement of conventional semiconductors, attention was focused on reducing the λ portion, or shortening the wavelength of light. ArF excimer lasers were previously exposed to 248 nm wavelengths, but ArF excimer lasers were developed around 2000 to reach 193 nm.

However, development was difficult ahead. It was well known that the development of the next generation of EUVs using CO2 lasers was not proceeding slowly, even in slightly different fields.

As a result, efforts were focused on increasing the number of openings that were previously thought not to exceed 1.0, and a technique was developed to fill the lens and wafer with pure water. That's the ArF immersion exposure device.

As a result, the number of openings has increased steadily, reaching 1.35 for the best equipment available today.

Efforts were also made to reduce the constant K. Usually 0.61, in recent years, it has been reduced to less than 0.3 by introducing various technologies such as deformation lighting, phase shifting, and super-resolution technology. The theoretical limit is 0.25.

Thus, the resolution of the ArF immersion exposure device reached 38 nm.

"If we could replace the pure water of the ArF immersion exposure device with that substance..."

Miura nodded without saying that he was right, and said by turning the air wheel.

"If we could use this material with an ArF immersion exposure device, it could be up to 7 nm in a machine that is now widespread, without multipatterning."

ASML in the Netherlands is currently driving EUV development.

Gigaphoton, a subsidiary of Komatsu, solved the problem of increasing the output of the light source, but because of the high output, a membrane to protect the photomask - a pellicle with high light transmission and high thermal resistance - was needed.

ASML is desperately searching for pellicle materials, but it will not be possible to have a complete one by 2020.

The latter are Canon and Nikon, both of which have drawn attention from EUV development, with the former focusing on nano-imprinting with Toshiba and the latter focusing on ArF immersion exposure devices.

I mean, this liquid...

"You mean you might be the savior of a world where technology hasn't kept pace with semiconductor refinement demands?"

If practical, it is precisely when the F2 laser was developed that the immersion shock was once again said. After all, 7 nm can be achieved simply by replacing pure water with this substance. The cost of multipatterning and the burden of installing equipment will be eliminated, and the cost will be greatly reduced. Even if the price of this liquid is increased.

Of course, it will be replaced by EUV in the future, but the current equipment can be used as it is until at least 7 nm. The benefits were immeasurable.

"The liquid was stored in a bag containing items brought to our dungeon material shopping the other day, but I have no idea where it came from or what the object is."

You can tell the name of a dungeon item by touching it.

However, if there were leaks or chips from it, the phenomenon would not have occurred against the liquid or caulkera.

Ha.

"I have read your basic research paper on dungeon materials. I hope that companies with such authentic research will follow up on those points. We had a lot of researchers running for applications."

That said, Miura smiled bitterly, but Saki was sweating cold inside. The report was produced by Yoshimura's team.

Yoshimura's team has been investigating the physical properties of the item since dungeon material research began. Because if we don't know the nature of the subject, we won't be able to come up with an application idea, but it was a research that would not directly increase any profit by simply increasing the purchase cost and labor cost of the item. When I thought about my grades as a division, it was a big luggage.

It was Saki who interrupted it and pushed applied research that was likely to be profitable.

Hagi did well with the series of in-class reforms.

"And there was a researcher named Miyoshi-san in the list of researchers in that paper. So, hello."

Miura just said that it was the purpose of the partnership, a little televised.

The manager who heard that changed his face and looked back at the tree.

The eyes said not to talk about Miyoshi's departure.

If Makoto has proposed an alliance with Yoshimura and Miyoshi in anticipation, it is very awkward to know that they are no longer there at the tentative signing stage.

That must happen at least after the various contracts are officially concluded. And I'm not sure if the most famous Explorer in the world, called Weissman, is the best of the three. Because it's not strange that it's just the same name.

Miura made a mistake watching the situation.

"Oh, excuse me. Because what you expect from your basic research team is true."

That's what he said and lowered his head.

There are no more people at the centre of the basic research team.

Besides, once Miyoshi was asked to cooperate, he was refused. He was staring at the liquid in a small bottle, feeling like his stomach was pounding.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

At the Fruit Tree Tea Industry Research Department of the Agricultural Research Institute, where lunch break is approaching, a man with a terrible complexion wearing glasses, Takashi Sayama, reported the results of the citrus test previously identified to Chief Akira Mizuki.

The researchers who asked for a follow-up exam did it on the weekend, thanks to the inscription "urgently".

"I checked with Kitajima Sensei, and they said that they both did."

I see.

"Professor Kitajima has been asked interestingly what this test means, but what do you do?

"That's later. So, what about Sensei Kannuma?

"It seems that the first two people tested were both seemingly innocent."

"So, are we the only ones who got the results in pieces?

This result will not lead anyone to conclude that the laboratory equipment was contaminated.

No, not at all....

"... first?

"Soon afterwards, under the guidance of a student who came to the lab, I was asked to do the identification work, and then..."

According to his report, the first researcher who was surprised was able to do the experiment again and it was clear.

The researcher, who wondered where he had brought the seeds from, had the students conduct the experiment again under his supervision. And then...

"I guess it turned out to be something else."

Mizuki said so with certainty.

Sayama shrugged her shoulders and continued to report.

"Confused researchers suspected student mischief, but the student seemed to have no idea why he was being questioned."

Once again, when the device was cleaned perfectly, the researcher brought a colleague who knew nothing about it to do the same test.

And the result is...

"... it seems to have become Amakusa."

Sayama put the report quietly on the desk.

"What do you think?

"Hardware malfunction. Ah, I'm in trouble... or else."

Sayama, who was in trouble with rod reading, said to throw up a face that looked like a tomato bite, "Is it a god's prank?"

Indeed, when such a strange crop emerges, we will simply confuse ourselves without knowing whether we should question the test equipment, whether we should question the procedure of the test, or otherwise whether we should question our own sanity.

But there are always rules. That's the science of nature.

Sayama-kun.

Yes?

"Could you go to Yoyogi for a moment?

Huh?

"What, is it closer to Kozu? It's not impossible to go there."

Kotsu, Shizuoka Prefecture, has had the right origins as the Kankitsu Research Kotsu base since before the reorganization of the Agricultural Research Institute in 2006.

"No, it's also a good place to be in Kotsu. There are many strange shops. Yes, when I went to the gynaecology and gynaecology hospital to help you discharge your wife, I went out for a little while at noon, and there was the name of a TV show for children, and there was a shop right there."

Sayama-kun.

"Somehow when I came in and asked for a katsu curry, a plate with a mouse from my dream country appeared next to the store name logo, and it was really crowded. You know what? This is a surprise. I don't care if it's gachapin or mook."

"Sayama!

Sayama's plan to try to escape with a dash after lunch break, forcing him to change the subject with the fury of Okitsu, said lightly.

"Hah... I see. I knew it...."

"Yes, I contacted JDA. They say the citrus grows on the 21st floor of the Yoyogi Dungeon."

"I've never heard of citrus in a dungeon."

"It seems to have been discovered recently over there."

"So, what did I do?

"It's mid-February. Perfect season to pick a branch for a stump, isn't it?

Sampling of harvested timber shall be carried out roughly one to two months in advance. Since citrus fruit is suitable for harvesting around April, it is time to start harvesting it.

"Do trees in the dungeon have dormant periods?

"I don't know. I don't know, so I'll have to try."

No, that's a death flag, isn't it? And Sayama thought, but when I said it, it was going to be real, so I swallowed the words.

"Besides, are you sure you want to take the plants in the dungeon out to the trees?

It's not illegal, is it? I'll talk to the JDA, and we'll have a sealed place to keep it from spreading. "

Mizuki laughed hard because we were a research institute.

If a branch that comes out of such a place blooms and the pollen spreads to the world by something - for example, a bee - it could be a big problem. That was where Sayama worried.

"But how do we get to the 21st floor?

"I was introduced to the team that brought it home first. He said he had a track record of taking an amateur jeweler down to the 21st floor, so he should be fine."

"It's supposed to be..."

Sayama inspired botanists who flew around the Himalayas and Amazons long ago in search of the native species. I didn't expect anything like that to happen to me in this era.

"I'm really flattered. I'd love to go if I could."

Sayama, who was poisoned in her heart, replied with a vague "hah."

"At the very least, please pay for injury and illness."

"Don't assume an injury. But if that happens, don't worry, I'll get the paperwork ready. Besides, I rarely get a chance like this. And get me some plants in the dungeon."

"I will try my best to meet your expectations."

Of course, I rarely had a chance to be an adventurer in real life, but I honestly wasn't happy to think that the chance of becoming a corpse would come at the same time.

Still, somewhere I felt like I was excited to play, was it because of the sex of the boy?

"By the way, do you have a WDA card?

"I don't have it."

"Without that, they won't be allowed to enter the dungeon. I'll give you time, so please check out the recent workshop and get it."

"Okay."

Apparently, that was the end of the story.

Mizuki shook Sayama's shoulder and told him, "I'll tell you what's going on over there, so just be prepared."

When he left, he heard, "Yes, the next generation of researchers want to hear the story, so please turn around this afternoon."

Sayama, who was left alone, glanced out the window at the cold sky and murmured, "Yoyogi, what should I do?"

The Agricultural Research Organization is far from the station.

From Tsukuba, from the Expo Memorial Park, from Midori, from the coast of Arakawa, and from Hitano Ukushiku, if you take a slight breadth, it is about the same distance from the research school and Okku.

When it comes to the nearest station, it's almost as if it's in the middle of the city center, but there's only a stretch of roads around here that make you want to evil yourself by planting street trees to cover up the size of the sky.

That's why I mostly work by car, but I didn't really hesitate to drive to Ichigaya in the city center during commuting hours.

"Using Tsukuba Express, it's just an hour from Midori no Midori."

If it's Ichigaya, it's one on the Sobu Line from Akihabara. If I dashed in Akihabara's transfer, it might have been less than an hour.

"That's how much you pay for transportation, right?

When I murmured, the time for lunch break came.

Well, what about dinner?

Fujimoto, a division of fruit tree tea industry research, is the site of the former fruit tree research institute, but it is a little far from the headquarters of the Agricultural Research Institute in the enclave, and there was nothing else but a part of the vegetable flower research department.

According to the Basic Resident Register, the number of people living in this district is zero. Even though it is part of the City of Tsukuba, it is.

In other words, there could hardly be a restaurant nearby. There was a ramen made by a demon across the road.

Even in the love-ho next door, it seems that you can eat rice, but if you choose a bad room, the walls of the room are too impactful and uncomfortable (* 1), my colleague said. Death to Rear Charging.

From this afternoon onwards, if it's the next-generation research institute, can I use a marvel?

The Marvel Dining Room is the dining room of the Tsukuba Industrial Collaboration Center for Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Technology Conference.

It's like company food, but it's generally open during the day, it's quite cheap, and I just said I feel like learning to eat.

Located on the same site as the management center of the Agricultural Research Institute, the facility was also adjacent to the Next-Generation Crop Research Center.

When Sayama decided on his policy, he began walking toward his car in the parking lot.

If you want to go to the 21st floor for the first dungeon experience, be in love with the second man for a short time. I was thinking we should find a partner who would eat with us at the hotel across the street as soon as possible.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Looking a little west from Chiba Town and up Heisei Street, the building was designed to resemble a slightly stronger Golem-Stoneman appearing in Draquet.

The Tokyo Stock Exchange is a strange place to visit more than a securities man, despite being the center of Japan's stock exchange.

From the building, two men came out for lunch and opened their umbrellas.

"What do we do?

I see. Sometimes, let's go. "

A tall, skinny man replied with a smile.

"What are you, sightseeing during the day?

Sort of. Sometimes I want to eat the hayashi rice over there. "

Bourgeois.

"Whatever it is, we're not going upstairs yet."

The skinny man replied with a smile.

The menu on the second floor is different from the first floor. There are about twice as many dishes on the first floor.

That's the price of a fine lunch course in the Italian and French neighborhood.

"Still, why would that palm do more than twice as much as curry?

Under the guard of the Edobashi junction, a fat man murmured as he remembered, looking at the entrance to the Hinoya curry.

"Well, I suppose the dome glass used is special."

The tall man who heard it glanced at the curry shop entrance and replied. And he leaked, "It hurt to lose the kitchen N."

Until a little over a year ago, there was a restaurant called Kitchen N.

It was a shop where you could eat half the price of Meitake.

"No, because it's a normal price for a set meal."

After that bitter smile, he went silently to Showa Street for a while.

And as he went up the great land bridge on the street, a fat man cut out his breath.

"Isn't it strange that the temple should be open?

"The palace?

Gotenyama Telecommunications Industry, commonly known as Gotenyama Tsusho, is a long-established major electric company with a very large number of shares issued, but in recent times sales have not remained stable compared to the temporary decline in stock prices.

The issue has been trading a lot since a few days ago.

"Is there any ingredient?

"No, as far as the press release is concerned, nothing has changed...."

The fat man crossed the land bridge and went down the stairs.

The tall man laughed bitterly and encouraged him to continue.

"What is it?

"There's been a bit of a deal going on since February."

"What's wrong? What's the stock price?

"That's hardly changed."

Turning to the next thin corner of Nomura Asset Management, you can immediately see a simple and small sign that says "noodles", but the location pattern is very prominent. It's a ramen noodle noodle corner.

Speaking of ramen, you shouldn't. There is also ramen on the other side. I don't know why it is Kyoto Ginkakuji Temple, but the ramen has a refreshing soy sauce flavour of chicken gala.

There were still a few people lined up there. Looking at it sideways, a fat man opened the door to a mess.

"Goten Tsusho is a brand with many long-term holders, but there are many shareholders who are releasing dividends due to the reduction of dividends following the stock price depression here.

Sort of. However, for about 720 to 740 yen, all the sales that came out have been digested. "

"Digested?

"Yes, stock prices do not fluctuate slightly from that range. That's why it's hardly a topic of discussion, but only the volume of transactions is increasing day after day."

Everything was digested there until the end of the day.

A fat man says "tampon omelet rice" to the waiter who came to get the order. In a movie made by Itan-13, an elongated beggar and turbo sneak into the kitchen at night.

"What? What? You're Bourgeois, too."

"This is one option for sightseeing. And unfortunately, 30 yen is more expensive for you."

When the fat man laughed and replied, the tall man said, "It won't change," drank a sip of water from the glass, and then put the story back on.

"But you can't sell it or buy it, can you?

"I don't buy it at all. The analyst's report only predicts a downward trend of more than 700 yen but less than 600 yen, so it seems that those who look at the board are increasing their sales as much as they are now."

"Is it all digested? How do I buy it?"

"Thresholds and thicknesses are ordered from various companies in pieces. If he's the same, he's very careful."

"What do you want me to do?

Yes, that's the problem.

For now, there is no reason to collect shares in Gotenjo.

"Acquisition."

"Idiot, it's not sharp. I'm not going to Panasonic, but then there's a lot of shares to be issued. There's no way you could just buy it from the market."

Even if Panasonic had purchased 100 million shares, it would have issued enough shares not to submit a mass holding report.

The number of shares issued by Goten Tsusho is the next largest. Even if you buy all the shares that appear on the market, the acquisition will be a dream. It is absolutely impossible to do so without declaring a TOB. It's probably impossible.

But there's a sale going on.

"Yes, it is."

"But won't the stock price go up....."

"Yes, it is."

"And I can't expect a dividend."

"Strange, isn't it?

I certainly don't know what you're buying the stock for.

Sort of. But what do we realize, some of them? Then there will be people who sell thresholds for 745 yen or 750 yen or something a little higher.

"Of course there was. But the sale doesn't really work."

"Doesn't it work?

The moment I saw a lot of shopping boards, I went to zero. It's probably because we can't afford to buy stock at a high price with a clear downturn.

"If anyone is buying this stock, the purpose is not to collect the stock of Gotenjo, but to buy it at a certain price range."

"For what?

Saana

"What is the line that the company that saw the report bought its own shares while maintaining the stock price?

"Even if it is sourced from the market, it will be made public. Besides, there was so much internal retention... in the first place, if we cut the number of stocks a little further, neither PER nor PBR will improve much."

Well then, that's it. Someone who's got a story to blow up in the near future is buying it up. "

"Whoa, you're such an insider. Besides, you don't even know why you don't buy it."

That's where the food came in.

The fat man quickly cut the omelet with a spoon and chewed it up saying, "Well, if there is one that is really collected, you can immediately find it in the mass possession report and the change report (* 2)."

I see.

The tall man answered it in the sky, and carried the rising hayashi rice into his mouth, so he raised his mouth to the taste and swallowed it satisfactorily.
