Magicraft Meister Part 4

3227 - - 85-13 Manipulation of the Giant Golem

Now that we have the link between the magic brain < and the management magic brain <>, and the battle golem has been repaired, all that remains is the giant golem.

"Repairing the body is no problem. "Repairing the body is not a problem, but you need to decide what to do about the control system.

Makina asked Chief Superintendent Tomax Bartmann.

"Well, can we use remote control?

"Yes, as long as the distance is not a problem.

"Oh, that would be great. By the way, what is the maximum distance?

"As long as you can see it, it should be fine. ...... I'd say 500 to 1,000 meters.

That's enough. I'd like it to be remote-controlled.

Okay. But there is one problem with ......

There is one problem with the remote control, Makina explains.

"It would be difficult for the operator to perform all the movements. Therefore, it is necessary to have an auxiliary magic brain to support him.

"Hmm, what do you mean?"

"It means that we do not need to consider the balance of the upper body or the slope of the ground when we make the movement of <>."

"Ah, I see. ......"

If the ground is slightly tilted, the posture of the golem needs to be adjusted to that, and the auxiliary magic brain will do it for you.

"...... Will it take much time?"

No, not really.

Is there any other problem?

No, not really. I'm just trying to get you to decide how you want to handle this.

What's the best way?

Oh, there you go.

Makina began to explain to Tomax Bartmann how to control the Golem.

The members of the , Ilmina Ratkin, Tomoshide Yoda, and three others gathered around them, listening to Makina's explanation.

"First of all, voice input. You can control it by using words such as <>, <>, <>, and so on."

"Oh!"

"Then, in the case of the control unit, you use the throttle, the stick or the steering wheel to walk and the levers to move the arms, just like in a car or an airship."

Moving the arms with levers is similar to operating an excavator.

"I'd recommend a hybrid."

"What?"

You use the steering wheel and gas pedal to perform general operations and voice commands to perform detailed operations.

I see.

If it is not remote control, what would it be like? Please let me know for your reference.

"Fully autonomous. A giant golem. Then there's the passenger type. The pilot gets in, but it's not really suited for humans.

What's that?

It rocks, it moves up and down a lot, and you end up having to control its limbs."

Oh, that must be hard for you, indeed.

"Well, there is a way to have a golem control it."

I see. ......

So, what do we do?

...... hybrid, please.

"Okay."

Thus, Makina was to create a piloting device for the giant golem, but as expected, it was not completed on this day, and the completion was carried over to the next day.

* * * * * * * * * * *

"......Have you finished it yet?

Nevertheless, by 9:00 a.m. on the 8th, the piloting system was completed.

Needless to say, Tomax Bartmann and the others were surprised.

"...... is it a small automobile?"

And it had become a small automobile.

"It would have to be, otherwise it would be inconvenient to pilot this giant golem."

"That's for sure."

For example, if the control device was installed underground, we would not be able to see the giant golem in motion with our eyes.

(Of course, in Horai Island, we can follow the movements of Titan and Daedara on the monitor.)

Makina has created a control unit that is a small car with a control unit mounted on the back seat of the car.

The pilot's seat is higher than the car's driver's seat and has a transparent roof for excellent visibility.

"...... did you do this in one night?"

"Oh, no, I sleep at night, don't I?"

Yes. Deus ex machina is basically living a more regular life than Jin.

He has a more human-like lifestyle so as not to let people know that he is not human.

"Well, in such a short time ......"

The gallery is nothing short of astonishing.

But we can't be surprised all the time.

The main objective is to control the giant golem.

The giant golem is now lying in the plaza in front of the workshop, all the damage from the battle with Reiko repaired, and the overall maintenance done.

(Wasn't that in the workshop?)

(Yes, that's right.)

(In other words, it was either carried out or went outside by itself. ......)

(I mean, did he take it out or did he go out by himself?)

(Well, that's what it would be, right?)

While the gallery was whispering to each other, Makina asked Tomax Bartman to sit in the cockpit.

"Can I do it?"

"I'm making it so you can do it.

After a very brief exchange, Tomax Bartmann took the pilot's seat.

"First, insert the start key," he said.

Makina handed Tomax a card-operated key.

"Here, here."

"Here."

Tomax Bartmann inserted the card key into the slit.

"<> is <><><>, any of them will do."

"Now go to ......<>."

The giant golem's eyes lit up. This is a sign that it has been activated.

"Say <> or <> and it will stand up."

"Then get up."

The giant golem slowly stood up.

"Oh!"

The gallery shouts.

At 18 meters tall, the giant golem looks intimidating.

"The posture and direction of movement are controlled with the control stick. Tilt it forward to move forward, backward to move backward. It stops when it is returned to neutral position, but the same can be done by voice.

"So."

Tomax Bartmann cautiously tilted the control stick forward a little.

The giant golem began to move forward slowly.

One step, two steps.

After four steps, Tomax Bartmann returned the control stick to neutral.

The giant golem comes to a stop.

Tomax Bartmann gradually became accustomed to controlling the giant golem.

"Next is the upper body movement. The arms are raised and lowered by levers on either side."

When the levers on either side of the control stick are moved, the left and right arms move accordingly.

"You have to tell him what to do in detail."

Although movements such as grabbing and picking up objects could be done with the levers, it was faster and more reliable to give voice commands.

"That's right. First, get used to it. Then, I will teach other potential pilots to do the same.

So, for the next three days, Makina trained the prospective pilots.
