Magicraft Meister Part 3

Putting off the decision on the name, Jin decides to proceed with the construction of the artificial island.

As discussed by the <> members, he is going to complete the facilities inside the island.

However, since most of the work has already been done by Tsuki (Yuni), we only need to finish it.

So we finished in half a day.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

At dinner that night, Jin told everyone, "Tomorrow, we will all go to the island together.

"Tomorrow, we will all tour the island, and if you see anything that needs to be fixed, please point it out to me.

"I'm looking forward to it.

"Oh, in that case, I'll invite Zion, Rhodes, and Ludmilla to join us.

Everyone nodded in agreement to Marikka's suggestion. < is all here.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

On February 1, the entire was to inspect the artificial island.

"Wow, ...... you made something great. But I think it's a good thing to use it as a base for deus ex machina.

Sion was surprised at first, but soon realized the importance of the project.

"This is ......!　That's Jin-san's ...... and Hourai Island."

Rhodes was surprised,

"Is this the work of man ......?"

Ludmilla was still getting used to the idea.

Ludmilla was still not used to it.

"Come on, I'll show you around."

Jin took the lead and led the group to the artificial island.

The old man's deus ex machina and his knight in shining armor, Rei, were also with them.

First, the group rides from the pier in Tatsumi Bay to the island on a barge that can accommodate 30 passengers, so that everyone can get on. Hope drove the barge.

Even in the deepest part of Tatsumi Bay, the underwater part of the artificial island is a kilometer long, so it cannot be directly attached to the pier.

Many barges are said to be unable to navigate on their own, but not this one. It is equipped with four small but powerful <>, which can travel at speeds of up to 50 kilometers per hour.

"It's called <>."

Jin named the flat-bottomed, wide, stable barge "Frog" because the flat bottom reminded him of breaststroke.

It took about five minutes to reach the artificial island from the pier.

There are several rock ledges on the side of the artificial island for barges to lay on. Of course, they are artificial ledges.

From there, one climbs up a cleverly constructed stone staircase to the top of the island. There is a difference in elevation of about ......30 meters.

But nowadays, 30 meters is like going up to the second floor of a house.

Theon was the only one who climbed up, sitting on Hope's arm.

"This is nice and easy."

"Please take it easy, Grandmother," said Hope.

Ludmilla was at her side.

"Yes, I'm fine. I won't. I won't."

Saying this, Zion glanced at his friend Marikka, who had been rejuvenated as a homunculus.

"Well, here we are on the artificial island.

There's nothing here.

Nothing but rocks.

The view was desolate, with no grass, trees, or even moss growing yet.

But there are places that have been leveled off.

Airfields and airstrips. is a big guy."

It covers an area of about 300 meters square.

"That little hill over there is hollow and will be the core of the base. ...... No, the core is the part that's underwater?"

Anyway, it is ostensibly Machina's base, Jin explained.

"This is where the living quarters, guest rooms, temporary command center, and workshops are located."

"If it's temporary, does that mean the real one is in a different location?"

At Zion's question, Jin nodded.

"Yes. The underwater part ...... is the cylinder part. I'll show you later.

With that, the group walked to the mountain.

Then Makina said,

"There is a hidden door here.

and put her hand on a whitish rock.

"It opens in response to the flow of magic power."

With a faint sound, a hatch large enough for a truck to pass through opens.

"Oh!"

Reinhardt exclaimed.

"I knew about this in the meeting, but it's really impressive to see it in person.

Reinhardt's eyes lit up at the sight of the man-made island as a secret base.

"This is the command center.

A room with a number of large .

In the center of the room, there is a seat reserved exclusively for the commander, or machina, and an elevator that takes you directly down to the lower level.

The true command room is at the end of the elevator.

"Functionally, however, it's not much different from the rooms above," he says.

The only difference is that the true command center can be quickly mobilized.

In the true command center, there are several warp gates that allow direct access to the <> and other aircraft.

"Are there any aircraft other than <>?"

Jin asked in response to Zion's question,

"We haven't made one yet.

Jin answered, "We have not made it yet. Then he said,

"Jin-san!　When you make an aircraft, please let me know!

"Oh, me too!

Rhodes and Ludmilla asked me for a favor.

"Of course, I don't mind. ......"

Jin had no objection.

"So, this is the hangar. This is mainly for submarines.

Makina explained.

Jin added, explaining that large vessels are troublesome to moor, so the vehicles in the sea will be submersibles that can be used as ships, but can also be entered and exited underwater.

"So, then, < in the air and a submersible in the sea?"

Rhodes asked.

"No, that's not enough power, so we will build about 20 Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) aircraft.

Now Jin said that he also wanted to prepare large golems and multi-legged tanks for the army.

"Underwater, we can have a as well."

At this point, Marcia said,

"What about small boats, Jin?

She asked.

"Yes, we need about 20 small trimaran-type high-speed boats, since we have a marine unit.

"I'll help you!"

"Yes, I'll help you then.

The family members seem to enjoy this kind of work.

They are also working on the interior,

"I think this place could use a little more light.

"We don't know who's going to be staying in the living quarters, so it would be nice to have some luxury rooms."

"It's been here for 400 years, so it should look old in some ways.

"Then maybe we should decorate it with some antiques."

Everyone offered their own useful opinions.
