1219 - - 33-04 Mana tank consideration
"Well, the Antarctic survey is probably at the bottom of the ocean, right?
Since we can't find anything from the sky, the only place to look is under the sea, Jin says.
"Then that's where the killer whales come in.
"Your father should not go."
"I'm sure they'll say ......."
I knew the old man and Reiko would stop him. < smiled wryly.
.
"I guess that's what I'm going to do. ......"
Mermaids can handle deep-sea exploration with no problem. Jin decides that we should start with a wait-and-see approach.
"I understand. However, I'm still concerned about the situation as it is now. ......"
We don't know what's in the Antarctic Ocean, but we can't afford to lose the free magical element (ether) and have it stop.
"Kuhu, we don't want it to be like the last time we had a binge-eating grasshopper, do we?
Saki seemed to be aware of this and agreed with Jin's idea.
"Then it should have a reserve energy source, but it should be a mana tank instead of an ether tank.
If it is mana, it is not afraid of <> being used.
Jin guessed that what is in the South Pole is probably a magic tool that works in the same way as the <>.
In order to convert mana back into free magic element (ether), a < must be used, but it is hard to imagine that such a thing is equipped.
"If we can give them mana tanks like oxygen tanks, they can work even in the Antarctic.
Jin is about to start thinking about it, but then he remembers that today is Vivian's birthday party, and he almost stops himself.
Everyone looked at him with a smile.
"Well, a lot has happened, but here's my last report. < at .......
I will leave this to you to explain.
<>, the guiding mind of the moon, sent out an unmanned probe. It will be approaching soon. Then we will know more about it.
"Where is it now?"
<
"600 million or ...... how fast is it moving?"
"That's fast. ......"
Even the spacecraft <<> built by Jin is limited to 300 km/sec so far.
If it gets closer to the sun Celan, it will be over 400 km/sec.
<<<< Pengolta>> seems to be a rather large planet, so it is likely to affect the orbits of <>.
"That's my main concern."
At the moment, we don't know what effect the change in orbit will have on Ars.
This is not only because Jin is not familiar with astronomy, but also because we do not have sufficient data on the masses of <> and <>.
Hence, even 700672 has not been able to make an accurate prediction.
Therefore, information from unmanned spacecraft is awaited.
"I guess we can't start worrying about that now. ......"
Thor said a little ruefully.
"Indeed. It is frustrating that we have to rely on Jin-dono."
Count Kuzma also sounded frustrated.
"No, of course not. I'm ...... here because you're all here."
Oh, Jin thinks. He had remembered saying this very line just recently.
But it was definitely true.
One can do one's best for someone. We can live for someone. It is a blessing to have that someone.
The Director's words suddenly came back to Jin's ears.
(After all, the Director is my parent, isn't he?)
"Jin?"
"Oh, I'm sorry."
Jin came back to himself at the sound of Goose's voice.
"Anyway, I'm sure we'll find out a lot more in a few days. Then we'll be busy."
Until then, we'll be ready," Jin said.
"It's Vee's birthday today, isn't it?"
Stearina patted Vivian on the shoulder.
"Yes, yes. Let's not talk about the hard stuff, now let's have some fun.
Toa says in a cheerful voice.
"Yes, we are.
"Yes, yes."
"Yes, yes."
Everyone agrees, but it is inevitable that a small thorn named worry remains in the corner of their hearts.

After everyone returned to their respective countries and homes, they went to Horai Island.
Erza, accompanied by Edgar and Meene, went to Shoro with Mr. and Mrs. Reinhardt to go back to their hometown. Jin is alone with Reiko for the first time in a while.
"Well, really, where should we start?
In the control room, Jin folded his arms and pondered.
"I guess we should start with the emergency mana tank.
Jin put his thoughts together, "Not only for mermaids, but it should be usable for other golems as well.
"Can't we make it so that it can store more mana than before?
This is an area that has not been fully researched due to the fact that it is an old technology.
"In short, it would be good if we could compress mana. ......
"Didn't your father's world have a similar technology?"
Reiko offered her advice, which was rare. Jin is happy to know that this is another development of his ego. And then.
"Wait, ...... that's right, <>!"
Jin is not good at chemistry, but he has a broad, though not deep, knowledge of metallurgy.
One of them is called <>.
"I remember it was something about taking hydrogen in a gaseous state and putting it into the crystal structure.
I don't have the exact knowledge, and my memory is a little fuzzy, but that's all right now. It's the idea that counts.
"The mana that is stored in the mana tank is probably also stored in the gaps of the crystalline structure ......."
Jin's thoughts continue to wander.
"Then, what do you call the opposite of ...... tightness than a tight-lattice crystal structure? ......Well, you can try to prepare and experiment with a mana tank with a structure that is not tight-lattice."
Muttering to himself, Jin has settled on a rough policy.
"Reiko, old man, do you have any magi-crystals that are not tight in crystalline structure?"
"I guess so.
This is something I had not expected.
"Hmmm, what kind of material other than Magi Crystals (Magi Crystals) can be used to store Magi Elements (Mana)? ......"
I can think of various materials that can store free magic element (ether), but when it comes to magic element (mana) ....... Jin.
Generally, mana can be used only by the magician who created it from free magic element (ether), but exceptionally, the lowest <> or <> mana has <>.
If we compare it to real energy, it would be something like static electricity, or direct current electricity.
It is difficult to use it as it is, so it must be converted into alternating current, and then into kinetic or thermal energy to be used.
Since magic is to be used directly from free magic element (ether) by converting it into desired energy form, it is easy to imagine that this two-step method is inefficient.
However.
This is not the case with the children created by Jin ...... Reiko and other automata (automata) and golems, since they have the same magic pattern as that of Jin.
Jin tried to remember the materials that could store neutral mana.
"...... ancient dragon's leather, huh?"
We know from Reiko's remodeling that the efficiency of using mana is extremely high.
This is because it contains a lot of mana and can efficiently utilize the power and energy that mana emits.
"Let's think along those lines. ......"
Jin was again lost in thought.
