Magi Craft Meister

Jen just starts a comparative test.

Since there are virtually no performance differences between artisans "" 1 and 2, each operates a "convergence cannon" of "silver-plated light silver" (mechanically deformed) and "crust of" (magically deformed) to determine what is more maneuverable. Since destruction is not the aim, it is not to be done with a hotline or laser, but merely with 'light'.

I decided to ask good eyed Reiko to discern which one focused quickly.

"Okay, then we're ready... three, two, one, zero!

Craftsman "" "2 was 1.4 seconds faster," Reiko reported that the "silver-plated light silver" (mechanical deformation) of Craftsman "" 1 was 3.1 seconds faster, and the "crust" (magical deformation) of "" 2 was targeted in 1.7 seconds. "I don't know if I can make it a prototype."

Word, but after all, mechanical deformation doesn't take long, Jen said alone. "The time difference would widen even more if you were big..."

This is because the mass of the parts increases. Magic deformation has a small effect on mass.

"If you use a lens in addition to a mirror to focus... no, it deviates from its original intent"

This weapon, which uses a "mirror", has the advantage of being lightweight and simple in structure, but if you add Gotegotte and auxiliary parts there, it doesn't make sense, Jen thought.

"Then you'd better design something like that from the beginning."

"Huh!? Oh, Hannah."

Jen was surprised when suddenly she was called from behind.

Turn around and it's Hannah. Elsa, Saki and Reinhardt are with us.

"I heard you were doing something kind of funny, and you came back from the hale"

Reinhardt spoke for the same mood.

Huge Hundred Foot "Kufu, it's a crust that's a mirror over here, right? Yeah, it's an interesting way to use it." "Ooh, honey, you're donating this, one of them to Avalon, right? At least the technology."

"... maybe I got it before this, with the material"

Everyone seemed to wonder.

Talking fast, Jen makes me nod.

"Exactly. I thought I'd put one on Avalon and the other on Aristotle."

I'm going to let Deus Ex Makina use it, Jen explained.

"I mean, there's only room for improvement in software, not hardware?

Elsa pointed out the policy.

That's what I'm talking about.

In that sense, Jen honestly thanked Elsa and Hannah for coming.

Because Jen himself is aware that he is somewhat of a hard neighbor engineer.

"Oh, honey, have you tried motion analysis?

"Of course. It's the deformation of the mirror that's taking the most time. Next is the measurement of distance"

"Well, that's a reasonable line."

Hannah thinks together.

Saki is Saki,

Huge Hundred Foot "Yeah yeah, it's not nice to use the crust here!," he said, considering a prototype made by Jen.

Deformation "Hmmm... you should use" ", but there's nothing you can do about mechanical deformation..." Reinhardt wonders if he can do something about mechanical.

"Slow would be a matter of mass first"

Jen uses light silver for strength and lighter weight.

"Is it any harder here..."

Pack up the details and you'll be able to make it lighter a few percent or so, but that's not a dramatic improvement.

"So it's a deformation mechanism?

"Mm, the plausible part"

Elsa was doing this consideration with Reinhardt.

"Hmm... but I still don't think deforming and regulating the mirror is the main road..."

Hannah shrugged in the face that she was unconvinced.

"I think it would be nice to keep the mirror intact, add one lens and put it back and forth..."

"I know what you're trying to say. But it's gonna be heavy, okay?

As long as the prototype is one meter in diameter, Jen said it would actually be quite a weight gain, as the lens would have the same diameter when it went from 5 to 10 meters.

"Oh, I know what you're saying. But what's the problem when it gets heavy?

"Huh?"

"I don't think that much weight gain would be a problem if we were to mount it on a ship, and I think the direction would be that way..."

Jen was a little concerned about Hannah's opinion.

"I guess so... considering the range, it wouldn't be a thick lens... but my concern is..."

Glass becomes a heavy category there as a material.

Even if it's about two centimeters thick, it weighs quite a bit when it's even five meters in diameter.

Assuming that it is glass with a constant thickness, a diameter of 5 meters thickness of 2 cm and a specific gravity of 2.5 of the glass would weigh approximately 982 kg.

In the case of crystal glass, if the specific gravity were about three, it would weigh more than a ton.

Jen thought that when it became that huge glass, the error would be greater because it would also cause distortion due to its own weight.

"Hmm, well..."

Hannah seems convinced by Jen's explanation.

There are some ways to use cubic zirconia instead of glass, but it is not suitable for transfer of technology to 'Avalon', although it is fine in Penglai relations.

It was stuck as it was.

"I used the junction, what about the air lens?

When I saw Jen in distress, Elsa gave me some advice.

"Um, is that the best?

Air also changes the refractive index if the density changes.

Yangtze and mirrors happen for this reason.

For example, if air is enclosed within a convex lens-shaped junction and compressed, the air lens can be produced.

"Given the cost and technology, I guess this is the only way..."

"Yeah, you're right, Elsa. You're right."

Hannah also agreed, so Jen began to think seriously about the 'air lens' method.

"Is a spherical junction enough?

The change in refractive index due to differences in air density is very small.

For example, the refractive index of air at 0 degrees Celsius and 1 bar is 1.000292. Says about 1.000270 at one degree Celsius.

The refractive index of the glass is 1.4585 and the diamond is 2.4195.

While snakefoot, 'refractive index' is relative to visible light, not sound waves.

Since the refractive index is so small, Jen came up with the idea of using the air in the spherical junction as a lens rather than the so-called 'lens'.

The crystal lens, by the way, says that it is spherical in the eye of a fish in the water, making it forward and backward, unlike humans, to focus.

"Let's try it and decide how many lenses we should have"

Thus Jen worked with Elsa, Hannah, Saki, Reinhardt and others to assemble the second prototype.
