Director's Office on the third floor of the Institute.
"... there's a lot of paperwork."
Takeo came to work and murmured at the small pile on the desk.
"Good morning, Director."
Meyer came from the door of the director's office.
“Good morning.
Mr. Meyer... isn't this a lot? "
"It's about the purchase order, so I can't help it."
Temporary orders are done by me, so I'm placing an order with a vendor. ”
"Thank you... there's a lot of it..."
Takeshi sits down in a fool's seat.
Director, do you want to meet me at the King's City?
"Ah... let's do it once we take a breath.
It's about 10 o'clock. "
"I understand.
So... let's start with me and Lord Viktor.
What did the director tell you? "
"It's mainly about the situation in the West and the movement of the King's capital."
Also, during this war with the Demon Kingdom, we will test the Wall of the Royal Capital... with a different test. "
"Trials and exams... are the same and different."
That sounds interesting, so let's hear it. ”
Meyer nodded.
What about Meyer?
"The first test of the lab shield and drive unit is over."
The report is due tomorrow, so I think it will be circulated. ”
I'm talking about Meyer. You're receiving an oral report from Tracy, right?
Takeo asks.
"Yes, we have achieved the results we imagined without any major damage, but we have also found problems."
"... durability?"
"Please wait for the report."
For your information, I would like to report on the status of customary war-related preparedness.
I think the test platoon and war will come from me, and the supplies will come from Lord Viktor. "
"I understand.
Is there anything urgent at this time? ”
"The approval document on the director's desk is the most urgent matter."
Meyer says.
“I'll have a look before the meeting.”
Takeo nodded with a bitter smile.
"Yes, so... at 10 o'clock in the director's office?"
“Anywhere is fine for me, but this is probably the easiest place.
Oh, and I'm sorry to bother you so early in the morning, but please tell Ascena to prepare you a cup of tea.
Maybe it'll dry up your throat. ”
I see.
Meyer was going to leave the director's office later.
"That said... it might be very difficult to see this amount before 10 o'clock."
Takeshi whispered as he took the top of the pile of documents.
------------------------
Laboratory on the second floor of the laboratory.
Tracy and the bell tone were writing on their desks.
... haa... the SL-01 liquid (red slime body fluid) didn't work well...
When the piston reached the top, SL-01 liquid entered the gap with the ceiling, and the piston dropped and vaporized all at once... "
Stop the bell tone from writing and look up at the ceiling.
"Suzune, when the piston goes down, the SL-01 liquid vaporizes as the pressure decreases, and when the piston goes up, the explosive gemstone reacts and lowers the biston strongly... right?"
Cibitetsu is coming in.
"Yes, but I'm going to use SL-01 liquid so that I can improve lubricity and horsepower where I can use explosive magic alone."
I didn't want the compression rate to be that high, and I didn't want it to vaporize completely... but I didn't vaporize as much as I expected...
It turned out that there was a lot of SL-01 liquid left in the cylinder after the drive was broken down... "
The bell rings.
"Isn't it because I made two strokes?" I think the four-stroke mechanism would be good if it was the way it was before.
"I think we'll have to think of 2st and 4st as a lot of structural parts, and that's going to be a lot bigger."
But as it is, it can't be the drive unit for the ship that Suzune thinks it is.
"Well, at least I want to minimize the jewels to increase the vaporization rate of SL-01 liquid and reduce the magic power consumed."
I think we can do something about it. "
The bell tone said while thinking.
"There must be a lot of trial and error."
Are you finished with your report to Takeo? "
"I haven't written yet... but I can't write a vision of how to solve the problem."
"... do you even write how to solve the problem in the report?"
"I think it's better to write... so I'm thinking."
"In this report, I will list the issues and finish with" I will work on it ". In the next experiment, I will try to solve the problem and write it in the report."
If it works at that time, it will do as it should. If it doesn't, it will also describe other methods at this time. "
Civitetto says.
"Nhh... I'm sure that the original" moving well first "has been cleared."
Should I emphasize that first and write it down? "
“I think so.”
"The due date is tomorrow, so let's do it like that... I can't think of a good solution."
I was going to write a report while the bell tone bothered me.
