<

During that time, <>'s magic brain <> has been in constant communication with <>'s magic brain <>.

According to the report, the concentration of free magical element (ether) has hardly changed at all.

"Hmm, the concentration does not increase as we get closer to Serang, does it?

Hearing this, Jin was a little relieved.

He did not know what would happen to the <> if the concentration increased even more than it was now.

The destroyer <<<> is continuing to measure the boundary where the concentration of free magical element (ether) changes rapidly, but so far it has been limited to a spherical area with a radius of 120 million kilometers centered on the sun Celan. The results confirm the assumption of a spherical area with a radius of 120 million kilometers centered on the sun Celan.

"I'd like to investigate this one too," he said.

This is a somewhat worrisome figure.

Another day passed.

Jin was still working on developing a more effective <.

"It's a Magi-type material, after all.

Magi material is the name given to a combination of metallic materials with mithril silver added and materials of powerful demons.

It has a high conductivity of free magic element (ether), contains abundant free magic element (ether) itself, and can bind free magic element (ether) in a web by magic power ...... free magic element (ether) wave.

Of course, this does not interfere with matter. This is because free magic elements (ether) as particles are smaller than elementary particles.

But if the eyes of this are small enough, the structure of the matter it encloses will be solid.

At the same time, it also prevents the passage of free free magic elements (ether).

"As I recall, free magic elements (ether) as particles should be repelled by each other if they are too close to each other.

Jin recalls Hanna's free-magic element (ether) theory. He had read the paper in order to master the sub-free-magic-element (ether) wave.

It is similar to the way a water-repellent net can scoop up water without spilling if its mesh is fine enough.

Jin was trying to create an alloy with a composition ratio that would make this the finest and most rigid.

At the same time, the material suitable for this shield would be the strongest in the world, except for <>.

The Magi-adamantite was made by adding 1.5 percent mithril silver, but Jin kept thinking about how to make it more effective.

With the help of Reiko, he made alloys of various ratios and checked their strength and reaction to free magic element (ether).

Before the results were in, a report came in that <> had reached the planned space.

"Oh, they finally did it!"

Jin rushes to the central bridge. Reiko followed him.

The large magic screen on the bridge showed the target planet, the second planet.

"How are the bio-signs?"

Jin asked.

Yes, my lord. We are investigating now.

< and was to acquire the minimum amount of data necessary. This includes the confirmation of the presence of life forms.

"Okay, come on. We've come this far, let's not be hasty. Let's go slow and steady."

Jin's last line is like a reminder to himself. is following his plan, and the only time he deviates from it is when unforeseen circumstances arise.

Jin sees the image of <> in front of his eyes.

"There seems to be atmosphere.

Yes, my lord. It seems to be very high in carbon dioxide. And we can't see the surface with our optics.

It must be very dense.

That's why is equipped with a that uses sub-free ether waves as its carrier wave.

The effective distance is 100,000 kilometers. It is sufficiently powerful to observe the earth's surface from the current orbit.

According to the Peeper, there is no civilization on the surface of the earth.

There are no signs of settlements or villages.

No sign of small animals or insects. It's impossible to see anything smaller than this through a peephole telescope.

I guess. Well, that's okay this time. And what about the satellite?"

Yes, my lord. We have 28 satellites in Zipert.

Oh, that's a lot.

There are more than Jin had expected. < said that there were five, but it seems that he meant five large satellites.

"Did you find the satellites you were looking for?"

Jin thinks they should be found within a few orbits.

Yes, so far we have found five satellites that look like them. All of them are rich in mineral resources.

"I see. ......"

Apparently, the satellites of the second planet Zipert are all rich in mineral resources.

"Still, we only have one to carry. You'll have to pick the most profitable one."

Yes, sir. Leave it to me.

Thus, <> makes three orbits around Zipert.

Another day has passed.

Jin's research is progressing slowly.

One of the reasons is that Jin himself is not concentrating. He is still concerned about the results of the survey.

In the meantime, he has received a report that there are nine satellites that are candidates for resources, and that the atmosphere of Gipat is mostly carbon dioxide.

Jin said that we should be happy that we have more options for satellites. As for the atmosphere, Jin thought it was like the Venus of the solar system.

"Well, we have to decide on a satellite."

Out of the nine satellites, which one would be the most beneficial as a resource? It is not that simple.

The reason is that what constitutes a useful satellite is different.

Is it a satellite that contains all the necessary resources, or is it a satellite that contains only a small amount of resources that are still available in Hale, and a large amount of those that are not?

We have been able to narrow down up to three candidates. Let us call them satellites Alpha, Beta and Gamma.

Alpha: The satellite has a sufficient amount and variety of resources.

Beta: Rich in copper, iron, light silver, mithril silver, and adamantite. Other elements are scarce.

Gamma: Rich in silver and adamantite. Light silver, iron and copper. Precious metals: gold, silver and white metals are scarce.

The three are the best.

At first glance, alpha looks good, but the total amount of light silver, mithril silver and adamantite, which are most likely to be used, is less than that of beta and gamma.

"Hmmm, what to do ......"

Because of environmental concerns, Jin thinks that he would like to pull the satellite from Gipert once and for all.

(I guess you could call it self-satisfaction...)

"Father, we could check out an exoplanet, if that's what you want."

Reiko offered her opinion as a helping hand.

"Well, yes, I suppose so."

Exoplanets are planets in orbit outside of Ars Hale. The inner ones are inner planets.

Reiko wonders if there might be other exoplanets that could provide resources.

"Actually, I'd like to save those for the future."

Jin imagines that in the distant future, when the resources of Ars are depleted, he will seek resources from such exoplanets.

"Now if only we could synthesize ...... matter."

The spirit life forms he had encountered in the past in other spaces had been able to manipulate energy and matter at will.

If they could do that, it wouldn't be so hard," Jin chuckled.

"Yeah, but the concentration of free magic element (ether) here might be attractive.

<, might be useful when a huge amount of energy is needed.

"I wish we could put a base in orbit near here."

It could be a space station or a space ship.

We could use warp gates to move around and conduct experiments as needed.

"I'll consider it after this resource problem is solved.

Jin made a note in his mind secretly.
