Jin explains the information he has just received this morning.
"I just heard about it myself, but I don't know all the details yet.
He prefaces his explanation with the following words,
"Please explain to me in detail, old man.
He urged him to explain.
> with Lando's group, and we found something of interest there. This is it.
< were a sight to behold.
It looked like an ordinary pebble.
"It's not so much what it looks like, but what it is, isn't it?"
<
Astonishment spread across everyone's faces.
Artifacts have been left on an island that was thought to be unexplored. What does it mean ......?
"Do you have any idea what it is made of?"
"Molecularly compressed. ......"
Jin also uses a special process to create <>.
This is a supermetal with a standard compressibility of 10 and a specific gravity of about 200, although it varies depending on the conditions. Its strength is 20 times that of the original adamantite.
"You mean there are or were other people who have such technology besides me? ......"
"......, another mystery."
Goose, who had been silent up to that point, muttered.
"You recovered that material, didn't you?"
This is Saki. She is now devoted to the study of physical properties and has been analyzing various materials with the old man, so this must be an interesting sample for her.
for now.
"Was there anything else?"
Jin asked again.
<
"I see. ......"
The material has been recovered and is not a threat.
However, I am still afraid to go to <> with this group.
"We won't go ashore on Archeone Island, but we're thinking of an interesting twist."
Jin wants to end this honeymoon on a happy note.
"We're going on an underwater cruise."
"Underwater cruise.
"Wow, that's amazing!"
Hannah exclaimed, sticking to the window.
We are in the Orca. This is a submersible built by Jin.
The submersible can accommodate eight passengers, so it is a bit cramped for Edgar, who is in charge of piloting, Jin, Elsa, Hannah, Saki, Goose, Vivienne, Marcia, Meane, Martha, Stearina, Tor, and Reiko.
However, as with all of Jin's creations, it is designed with plenty of room, so a maximum of 15 people are expected to be on board, and all can safely ride in this way.
For Jin, it is normal to take more than 2 as the usual safety factor.
< is 2 tons. However, the reason for setting this figure is also the purpose of exploitation of undersea resources.
< is quite deep. This is because the gently sloping seafloor drops at a steep angle after the archipelago.
Hence, they are ideal for underwater excursions.
The humidity problem has been solved, and there is no condensation inside the orca, and changes in atmospheric pressure are minimal, so there is no lack of oxygen.
"Wow, interesting fish!"
Hannah exclaims to herself, but the others seem to be excited as well, though they don't say so.
The others seem to be excited as well, though they don't say so. As proof, they are all staring intently out the window.
The current depth is about 10 meters below the sea surface.
The water is clear, allowing plenty of sunlight to shine in, and the swimming fish are clearly visible.
