Magicraft Meister Part 1

Horai Island, an isolated island in the blue sea. This is the base of Magecraft Meister Jin.

When Jin returns to his laboratory, he is astonished.

"Shattered ......!　Oh my god!"

The Magi Crystal, which he had sucked out from Marcello by transinfo, had been shattered.

"That golem's blow. ......"

When the Unifiler's all-powerful golem received the blow, Jin, who was wearing a reinforced suit, was unharmed, but the magic crystal (magi crystal) that he had kept in an external pocket seemed to have received a shock.

The fact that the pockets were made of a different material from that of the rest of the suit backfired, since it was impossible to put things in there if the pockets were too hard.

"I can't go back and do it again now. ......"

Since I left it to Reinhardt, I have no choice but to give up this time.

"Well, maybe next time.

Jin then changed his mind and started to analyze the enemy golems.

There was nothing to see in the 15 battle golems. It was a familiar structure. In other words, it was an old-style (to Jin) Golem, the prototype of Gon and Gen.

But the battle golem that came out later was different. It was able to match Land 50 in strength, even if it had to be bent over.

"Well, it's different from the internal structure. It has a skeleton.

A hardened steel skeleton can be seen. However, the structure of its joints is not as good as the one made by Jin, and the material of its magical muscles and the way they are used are also incomparable.

"But is it because of this?"

Jin took out four gems. They glow light blue in sunlight and green in artificial light. As far as is known, there is only one such gem.

Eladrite.

The gems are attached to the extremities of the body and have the effect of amplifying magic. 20 times the standard.

You used it to create a force equal to Rand's.

However, to produce that much power with ordinary materials means that it would be quite impossible. As expected, the magical muscle had deteriorated considerably.

"I see, I have to do maintenance every time I exert full power. It's kind of a hassle."

That is a harsh criticism. It is because we are not in an environment like Jin's where we can use rare materials as much as we want to use them.

"But it's a big mana tank. Isn't it about 10 times bigger than a normal golem?

Most of the space in the chest and abdomen was occupied by the mana tank.

"Hmmm, if Eladrite amplifies magic power, it shouldn't need such a big mana tank.

Jin, who had only one idea as to why, held one of the El Rado lights in his hand,

"<>".

and used the magic to turn on the light. The light, which normally would have been about the brightness of a 100-watt bulb, became as bright as if it were a flash.

"Wow!

Jin is so dazzled that he drops the Eladolite.

"Father, what's wrong?

Reiko rushed in from outside the room.

The light was already off by then, so Reiko had no choice but to ask Jin what had happened.

"No, I was just doing an experiment. "Ha-ha-ha, I see, I see!"

Jin bursts out laughing. Reiko looks at him with concern.

"Father ......?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. No, I was told that eladolite amplifies magic, so I experimented with it. And it does, you know, amplify it. It does, but it requires a corresponding amount of magical power.

Jin sensed that the magic power used for the lights in the current experiment was about 20 times more than usual.

"In other words, the power of the magic may indeed be 20 times more powerful. However, since the magic power is taken 20 times, it is not so beneficial if you don't have magic power."

It means that it would be a one-shot deal unless they possess huge magical power like Jin or have an inexhaustible supply of magical power like Reiko and her friends.

That is why the battle golem was equipped with a huge mana tank.

Jin estimated that it would have stopped working if it had continued to fight with Lando for more than 10 minutes. The mana tank would be empty.

"Well, we will have to conduct detailed experiments, but that's the principle. Let's leave the rest to Lao Tzu to continue the experiment and verification.

* * * *

After finishing the discussion about the eladolite, Jin decided to discuss what he and Reiko had almost talked about the day before, namely, the outburst of the warp gate.

"I mean, I want to make a warp gate that doesn't need an acceptor," Jin explains to Reiko.

Jin explains to Reiko.

"It would be wonderful if we could do that. We could even ride directly into the enemy base.

"Yes, it would make travel so much easier. It would be great if we could take an ordinary warp gate, transfer to any location, and set up a warp gate there.

"Right."

So, Jin and Reiko, who had experienced a runaway shift of a warp gate, began to study the details.

With the support of Lao Tzu, they summarized their theories. With Lao Tzu's processing capability, it was no problem to construct the theory of the warp gate while verifying the eladolite.

Then Ann arrived. Anne is now working as an automata with Lao Tzu. She is an automaton who checks Lao Tzu's plans and schemes.

Ann, who has a different thought process from Lao Tzu, is useful in this way. However, since his processing power is much lower than that of Lao-tzu, he is necessarily detained for a longer period of time.

"Goshujin-sama, lady, what are you doing?"

Lately Anne has not hesitated to call Reiko . Although it seems to be the complete opposite.

So Jin explained it to Anne. Then Anne said,

"I need to determine a coordinate system that specifies a single point in space, right?"

Ann is able to think logically like this. Anne is capable of such logical thinking. Jin, by the way, was a sensible man, and Reiko and Lao Tzu also inherited it.

"I see, that's true."

Then Jin remembered what he had learned in high school. The first thing that comes to mind is the XYZ coordinate system, which is the length, width, height, and width.

There is something else, something called polar coordinates, I think. Azimuth, altitude, and distance, I think.

The terminology is a bit dubious, but the idea is correct.

"In this case, I think it would be better to use polar coordinates with the origin on the sending side.

If we set the origin at the outgoing transition gate (warp gate), we can determine the distance, azimuth and altitude (angle).

"In that case, we need to convert the coordinates of the known point to polar coordinates, don't we?

Anne also advises him on what is needed.

"Yes, we will need a dedicated arithmetic unit ...... control core.

In this way, the control system was conceived.

However, the important thing is whether or not it can be materialized at its destination.

As Jin understood it, the principle of the warp gate is to connect two different points. It is never broken down into atoms and reconstituted at the target.

"Well, the most important role of the receiving side of a warp gate is to be a landmark. To make a landmark that can be recognized from a distance. In other words, the receiving side does not need an enclosure.

The reason the receiving end has the same shape as the sending end is simply because the receiving end will be the sending end on the return trip.

"If it's a one-way trip, there's no need for an enclosure. And if we can remotely control the magic circle or magic formula (Magi Formula) that will be the landmark, we can ......."

Jin thought hard.

"Father, the most difficult thing is to determine the distance, isn't it?"

Reiko said.

It is true that determining the direction is as sensible as shooting a railgun. But the distance?

"Indeed. I can think of three possible points: the intersection of straight lines drawn from two points."

And Jin.

"And the amount of magic power used to send it out."

and Reiko. And,

"The point where the force of attraction and repulsion meet."

Anne says smartly. It is the same as the principle of barrier.

"It's hard to go long distances anyway. We need to start with a distance that we can see.

It seems that we can't just go from the island of Horai to the Kingdom of Selroa.

So Jin decided to start building a prototype.

The sending side uses a modified version of a normal transfer gate (warp gate).

Normally, the receiving gate (warp gate) is connected to the sending gate by weak magic power. Instead of this weak connection, a magic circle is formed at the target point with strong magic power.

"How much can we simplify the magic circle?

With Anne's advice, the first prototype was completed in the early afternoon.

Jin jumped to the Kunlun Island, where Elsa was waiting, to have lunch. Reiko went along with him, while Anne checked the prototype before the test run.

Jin, brother Jin," said Anne.

Jin, welcome. Thank you for saving my brother Rai last night. Is that why?　You were a little late today, weren't you?

"Yeah, I was a little busy."

Erza glared at Jin as he made that excuse,

"Jin brother is a crafty idiot too," she said.

She said, "Jin brother is a crafty idiot too. Reiko tells Elsa.

"Your father still eats his meals because Erza-san is waiting for him. Otherwise, he would skip two meals without a care in the world. Even today, it's been like an all-nighter.

"Brother Jin, you can't do that. It's bad for your health.

Reiko and Elsa reproached Jin, and he scratched his head,

"I understand. I'll be careful.

He apologized.

Then he briefly told Erza about what had happened last night. Of course, Jin did not tell her that he had been hit.
