Magicraft Meister Part 3

On September 22, Jin was guiding Zion (Zion D) and his party, that is, the inspection team of the , to the village of Toka.

This time, they were going to a conventional airfield, not the one Jin had built. This airfield is about 100 meters square, so it will be too small for the <, when many people will come.

We will ask them to use the airfield a little further west then."

"Oh, there it is. ...... is big. That's fine."

<

The carrying Jin and the others lands slowly at the airfield.

The Kingdom of Klein has been notified in advance, so the Minister of Magical Technology, Cowen Raqqa Kiddo, and his men are there to greet Jin and the others. They were accompanied by the village head, Yuzo Mayaka.

"Hello, Mr. Zion, Mr. Jin, welcome.

"You look well, Mr. Cowen."

I am, thanks to you.

Thank you for welcoming us, Mr. Mayor.

Yes, sir!　It's a pleasure to welcome you, Master Zion!

"Welcome, Mr. Jin, welcome to our village. I have heard about the development of the ...... mine.

Well, well, well... Thank you very much for coming today.

This is Mr. Istash from Shinra. I'm a construction engineer.

Oh, I'm looking forward to learning a lot from you.

"It's my pleasure."

After such greetings, the group is transported in the golem car that has been prepared for them.

It is a one-day trip ......, or rather, Jin is supposed to take care of Zion. The ostensible reason for this is that he does not want to burden the developing village of Toka.

That's the hotel under construction.

"That is a magnificent hotel.

At this point, Istash of Shinra, who had accompanied Zion D., spoke up. He appeared to be a stout man of about 40 years old.

Of course, he had heard about this from Jin and Zion. He is one of the key players in this project.

"By the looks of it, it's made of granite, isn't it?

"Yes, it is."

Corwin, too, has some knowledge of stone materials.

"Granite is very brittle.

"Well, that's the question I'm going to ask at ........ I'm on my way to the site now and I'll check it out on site.

That's what happened.

Viscount Gillette Fezza Lutria, the site supervisor and head of the 3rd Technical Department of the Ministry of Magic and Technology, greeted the car.

"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen.

Then Corwin Raqqa Kiddo, Minister of Magical Technology, gets out of the car and asks his subordinate first: "Gillette, how are you?

"Gillette, is there anything you need help with?

<, and Istash, an architectural engineer, means that now is a good time to ask for advice.

I am sure that you will be able to find out more about this in the future. ...... Actually, I am wondering how to estimate the strength of the stone.

Viscount Gillette Fetheltria was an honest man. He put practicality before his position. This ultimately resulted in the preservation of the honor of the Kingdom of Klein.

"The appearance is based on the in , isn't it?"

Jin says.

Yes, that's right. The design there is so outstanding that architects from all over the world use it as a reference.

Hearing this, Jin thought to himself, "I didn't realize that.

But Istash of <> complained.

"Isn't it dangerous if we don't take the material into consideration?　The <> is made of jade, as its name suggests, and jade is a very tough stone, while granite is ......."

To this Viscount Gillette Fetheltria replied truthfully.

"Yes, I am aware of that. So we are trying to overcome the weaknesses by adding reinforcements in various places, but I am not so sure at the moment."

"I see. You are aware of the fragility of granite, aren't you? So you know that granite is fragile.

I'd be happy to. Please visit ...... and tell us about it.

Thus, the group entered the hotel under construction.

"Ha ha ......"

After taking a look around, Mr. Istash said.

"It's not reinforced enough. Worst case scenario, the roof and floor will fall through.

"What?

"No, it's fine now. It is strong enough for the load. But you never know in ...... 10 years."

Granite is hard but brittle. <

"If you use a steel frame as the structural material and put granite on it, that's fine," he said.

"I see.

"If it is weak in bending, it is weak in force. Of course, granite is strong enough to withstand the load applied by normal usage.

Istash concluded his explanation by saying that the strength of the granite would probably decrease little by little with repeated impacts.

"I see, I learned a lot."

Mr. Istasch then gave a supplementary explanation.

"Yes, it is possible to build such a building using only granite. As long as the structure is taken into account."

The point is to reduce the number of places where members are stretched as much as possible, he explained.

"For example, use arches for beams and floor supports."

"I see. ......!"

"No, I'm learning a lot."

Jin was also impressed by what he was hearing and thought it was a good reference.

Jin himself was not familiar with architecture. However, he has learned the basics of structural mechanics, which he has used as a basis for his experiments and verifications.

He has spread this knowledge to the general public, and the Nordic Federation is more advanced in this respect than the continent of Laurent, where the inheritance has been interrupted by the <>.

Jin thinks that the arch is one of the basic stone structures.

The same is true of the Roman aqueducts he has seen in photographs.

Openings in brickwork are often arched as well.

"Originally, the arch structure is resistant to loads from above," he says.

"Yes, that's true."

It is a pity that these rudiments of structural mechanics have only been partially handed down, Jin thought as he watched the engineers of the Klein Kingdom listening to Istasch's explanation.

"I recommend that you use <> here to strengthen it. ...... Jin-san, can you join us?"

"Sure. Safety can't be bought with money."

So far, so scripted.

This is the scenario that the old man has devised to make it easier to use the <.

"......<"

"<>......"

Jin and Istash apply <<>.

The casual observers do not realize it, but the effect lasts for hundreds of years as Jin applies it over and over again on top of what Istash has applied.

Jin does not want any accidents to happen at the event, so he is willing to help.

However, we are only willing to help in a < way.

As a result, this hotel will be handed down to future generations as one of the most famous buildings in the Kingdom of Klein, but that is another story.

"Mm...... now it is a robust structure."

After reviewing the entire structure, Istash nodded in satisfaction.

"Thank you."

Corwin and Gillette bowed deeply.

"If there had been an accident, our country's reputation would have been shattered.

"Please come to the Nordic Federation once to study architecture."

Istash of smiled and said, "You are welcome.

Viscount Gillette Fezza Lutria, who was determined to study in the Nordic Federation for two years with the permission of his country, is another story.
