Magicraft Meister Part 3

At last, Jin D. steps into the .

It is a small hall with polished metal walls, a metal floor, and a metal ceiling.

The material is probably steel, Jin D. discerns.

The steel, which easily oxidizes, or rusts easily, is polished without a trace of rust. Jin-D judged that this is a proof that the golem that maintains the inside of the base is doing its job properly.

In other words, the <> is functioning properly as a base, although the <> is malfunctioning.

"Follow me."

announces, turns away, and walks briskly. He turned his back and walked briskly, not suspecting that Jin D would follow him.

Of course, Jin-D has no choice but to follow him, so he does.

He walks through one of the many doors in the small hall.

The passage is also made of steel. They are made of steel.

(Come to think of it, it's not white.)

< type favored by the .

The color of polished steel is described as . The same metal, silver, is called <> because it has the highest light reflectance of all metals and appears <>.

Hence, it is also called "silver white".

In the case of steel, it appears darker than silver because of its reflectivity, so it is gray rather than white, or <>.

I have explained the background at length, but the bottom line is that it does not appear <>.

"Is there any reason why it is not <>?"

Jin D asked the < in front of him.

"Reason?　Because I don't see any meaning in making it white. That's all."

"I see."

It seems that the <...... perhaps the second generation ...... of the <...... had a rather rational way of thinking, Jin D thought.

"Hmm, you've seen the bases of other compatriots, haven't you?"

"Yes, in my own way."

"To a certain extent, huh? ......"

He seemed to want to say something more, but we had just arrived at the big door and Serius was busy opening it, so we never found out what he was going to say.

"Oh!"

The door was opened, and behind it was a magic brain.

"Let's get this fixed first.

"Okay. Let me take a look at it.

Jin D walked up to the magic brain.

It is a huge cylinder about 4 meters in diameter and 5 meters high.

In shape, it resembles <>.

"<>...... yeah?"

Jin D., who started analyzing it, was curious about something.

"...... This magic brain is not a runaway, is it?"

"You noticed. Well, you'd have to have that kind of technology to be able to talk about it. ...... Yes, that magic brain is not out of control. But it's definitely malfunctioning.

"So you want to test our technology by trying to fix it?"

You're perceptive. That's right."

"...... Well, whatever. Let's try to fix it.

At this point, the old man switches control with Jin.

<

"<><>...... I see.

"Well, can you fix it?"

"No problem."

< and <.

Jin can repair it without any problem.

"It's because the magecrystal has deteriorated, and the magic circuit has been broken in five places.

Jin makes full use of his engineering magic as he says this.

"<><><><>"

Once the data is backed up in the magi-crystal you brought with you, the degraded magi-crystal is recrystallized to eliminate structural defects.

Once it is re-formed and the backed-up data is written into it, the restoration of the control core is complete.

"<><>...... there are two more locations."

We'll do the same with that one, Jin D.

"......"

"It's done. The conductor of the magic circuit was also deteriorated, so I removed the oxide and strengthened it."

"...... well, thank you."

So, how's it coming?"

"......, not bad."

"Okay."

"But I need you to repair four more peripheral devices."

"Okay."

Cautious or skeptical, <> still doesn't trust Jin D's skill.

Or maybe there is another reason, Jin who is piloting the boat thinks.

* * * * * *

After repairing the three magic brains in the other room, Jin D. headed for one level deeper with <> guiding him.

The stairs were the only way to get there.

There was only dim lighting, but Jin D's vision allowed him to walk without danger.

"There's more down there?

"Yes. I'm not so thoughtless as to suddenly lead you into the heart of the base.

Well, it's the logical thing to do.

Okay, here we are.

About 20 meters down is a small room, and you open a small hatch in the wall.

"Do you know what's wrong with the wiring here?"

"Which one?"

Jin-D looks into the hatch.

There are many conductive wires running through it, but they are not color-coded in any way, and it would take a layman a year to figure out which wire goes where.

But not Jin.

"In times like this, ......<>"

By examining the flow of magic power, the location of the broken wire can be determined.

There were more than 1,000 magic wires, but only one of them was broken, so there was no problem.

However, it was a little difficult because the broken wire was behind the wall.

"Can you fix it?"

"No problem.

Jin D took out a mini Reiko from his luggage.

"Reiko, the end of this wire is broken.

"Yes, sir."

Mini Reiko is 30 centimeters tall.

She can get through cracks that humans can't.

I see. So that's how you use it.

Yes. Isn't that convenient?

"Mm-hmm."

A few words were exchanged, and then the mini Reiko returned.

"Repair is complete."

"Good, thank you. ......<>......Yeah, it's fixed."

"...... is excellent. I have to admit your skill.

Through the four repairs, <> seems to have finally recognized Jin D's technical ability.

"Do you still have more places to repair?

"Yes, there is. There is a place, but it is not urgent. I know how good you are. I'll take you to the control magic brain.

Jin, who is piloting Jin D, is a little nervous, thinking that he is finally in the central part of <> .......
