2714 - - 72-34 Re-examining the attributes of magical crystals

Reiko returned to Horaijima and immediately resumed her mission to Jin.

"Father, I'm back. This is the magical tool in question.

"Welcome home, Reiko. You did well.

No, your father's improvements made it possible for me to come back without any problems.

"Yes, I'm glad. ...... Well, this is the guy."

Jin receives the magic tool that has been cut in two and heads to the workshop to start analyzing it. Reiko followed him.

Saki followed a little later.

"Well, let's get started.

Jin placed his magic tools on the analysis table and used engineering magic.

"<>...... is a magic crystal (magicrystal) of the dark attribute. ......"

"The dark attribute has a strong effect on space, doesn't it?"

Saki asked.

"Yes, it does.　Yes, they are. Each attribute has different properties."

Hearing this, Saki asked the next question.

"Jin, actually, I wanted to ask you something on this occasion.

"Yes?　What is it?

"Well, a long time ago, didn't you once repeatedly multiply <> by <>, <>, and <> to make it <>?"

"Yes, there was.

"I think you concluded then that impurities determine the <> of the magicrystal. ......"

"...... Uh, yes, that's right."

"I used <> then, but not this time. So the attributes would not have changed, right?"

"That's right."

Saki nodded her head in satisfaction.

"Yes, that's what I thought."

"Yes.　What did you find out?"

"Unfortunately, it was not a well-researched field, so I did not confirm it further after that.

By "after that," I mean the time when I created the <> Magi Crystal.

To begin with, since only Jin could freely use <><><> at will, it seems that Saki had not yet made any progress in her research.

"Lately I've been curious about it again. I was beginning to wonder if it is really impurities that determine the attributes of the ...... magical crystal (Magi Crystal)."

"Is that so?"

"Yeah. I've been thinking about it more and more recently. ...... I was working on strengthening Leco."

"Oh, I see."

"At that time, you repeated <> and <>, but you didn't use <>, right?

"Indeed."

"So, you can see that the impurities did indeed affect the properties, but they were not essential!"

"Yes, that's right."

Jin had an idea of what Saki was trying to say.

"Perhaps it is the crystal itself that determines the properties of the magi crystal, not the impurities. The impurity is just a trigger that determines the properties of the crystal."

"......Hmmm, I see..................... I'm beginning to think that's the right idea."

Jin thought about it and agreed with Saki's theory.

"Kuh, it's reassuring to hear you say so, Jin. So, what determines the attributes of the crystal structure?"

"That's right. ......"

This is the daily life of the <, although it is far removed from the analysis of magic tools.

If it is not an urgent matter, they will do their best to deal with that is of interest to them.

"Since frequency determines attributes, is it the lattice geometry of a crystal structure, or the distance between lattices ...... or even between molecules?"

Hitoshi started with the first thing that came to his mind.

"That seems likely."

"And then there are bonding forces and molecular weights?"

"Kuhu, considering the magical resonance, I think it might be related to the parameter <> or <>."

Inspired by Saki's comment, Jin spoke what came to his mind.

"Well, if it is not affected by ......<> and <>, then it might be <>."

Jin speculated that the mass of the magic atoms that make up the crystals might be different.

Different numbers of magic protons (magiprotons) and magic electrons (magielectrons) would have different atomic numbers, resulting in different substances, so the only thing that remains is the magic electrons (magitrons).

Magitrons (magitrons) are magic particles (magielementals) corresponding to neutrons, and have almost the same mass as magic protons (magiprotons).

"I think the number of magic electrons (magitrons) in the nucleus is different."

In physical terms, it means that < is different.

"I guess you can look it up at ......."

So Jin prepared < and magi crystals and analyzed them.

"<>......Yes, that's right."

"Are you saying that the nuclei of the atoms that make up the magic crystals with lower magical frequencies have more magitrons, while the magic crystals with higher frequencies are made up of atoms with fewer magitrons?"

Jin shook his head at Saki's question.

"I thought so too, but I was wrong. If there were fewer magitrons, the affinity for magic would decrease."

"Then why not ......?"

"I found it out again after . > are determined by the range of magical frequencies they correspond to, right?"

"That's right. From lowest to highest, earth,water,fire,wind,lightning,light,dark ......."

"Yeah. And the colors that appeared at that time were yellow, light blue, red, green, purple, white to transparent, and black.

And the non-attribute is transparent, and the all-attribute with all attributes is iridescent (the degraded version is milky white).

"After all, this was just a classification for convenience, but I noticed something else."

"What is it?"

"Magi crystals contain magi atoms and magi isotopes."

"Oh, ...... I see. That makes sense now that I hear it."

A magiatom is an atom composed entirely of magic particles such as magic protons (magi protons), magic electrons (magi electrons), and magic electrons (magitrons), while a magi isotope is an atom in which a neutron is replaced by a magic isotope.

Since these atoms have the same physical and chemical properties as normal atoms, they crystallize normally and become <>.

"...... Wait a minute. I'm getting more and more confused.

"The story has jumped from one place to another. I'll try to summarize."

I'll try to summarize.

It's not the impurities that determine the properties of magecrystals, but the atoms that make them up, right?

"Yes. And the attributes, or frequency characteristics, change depending on what percentage of the atoms are <> and whether they contain <>."

"That clears things up. ...... Sorry about that, let's get back to the analysis of the magic tools."

Yes.

The long side trip is finally over, and we continue analyzing the magical tools that Reiko brought back with her.

"<>......Humph. ......<>......"

Jin steadily continued his analysis.
