Jin and Elsa received a warm welcome from King Cesar of Celuloa.
"<
Cesar was standing at the head of the Kingsguard.
"We have met before at the World Congress, but it is nice to see you here."
is moored at the airfield and is managed by Edgar.
Jin, Elsa, and Reiko are on their way to the castle in the same uncovered carriage as Cesar.
A monorail track comes into view in front of Jin and the others.
"The monorail that was developed by Jin-dono has now come to the point where it can travel around the royal city as a .
"Yes, it's amazing."
Jin praised the Kingdom of Celuloa for its national power.
"At this rate, I hope to extend the orbit little by little, but only if the world is at peace.
A trajectory that extends outward can also be a path in from the outside.
"Yes, that's right."
We want to keep the peace that we have, not only for a short time, but for as long as possible.
I agree.
With this conversation, the carriage entered the royal castle.
The carriage entered the royal castle.
Cesar's office in the castle.
"Welcome once again, <>. And your wife.
"Your Majesty, how do you do?"
Jin utters the standard phrase that Elsa taught him,
"Oh, please act normal now, Jin-dono."
Cesar returned to a frank tone.
"Yes."
"Today is a happy day. ...... it was yesterday, to be precise, that the warp gate, as you know, has finally been put to some practical use!"
"Well, congratulations."
Cesar nodded in satisfaction.
"Well, I said at the time that we didn't need to ask for help from other countries, including Jin-dono, but we've managed to get here. Would you like to take a look?"
Are you sure?
"Of course. I was embarrassed to show something so unfinished to the , but at this level, I don't think I will be embarrassed at first.
Cesar left the office with Jin, Elsa, and Reiko, along with the two Kingsguard guards.
Thus, Hitoshi, Elsa, and Reiko were led by Cesar to the in the royal castle.
The place, labeled <>, is located in the courtyard of the castle, and is about the size of a small elementary school.
Two guards were standing there, but when they saw King Cesar, they straightened their posture and let the group through.
"Now, may I?"
Cesar called out to them, and a thin, mature man came out of the room.
"Of course, Your Majesty, of course. ...... who are you?"
"<>, Jin Nido, his wife Elsa, and his valet Reiko.
The man jumped for joy when he heard Jin's name.
"My name is Jin Nido, I beg your pardon. I am Tobias Bellows Zeta. I am Tobias Bellows Zeta, director of the Third Institute.
Jin Nido.
Jin and Tobias shook each other's hands.
"So, Your Majesty, you're with Jin Nido, is that a tour?"
In a large room half the size of a gymnasium, two warp gates were standing.
Each of the two warp gates is an eight-meter cube.
With six hours of free ether filling, it can send an object weighing approximately one ton to a distance of 500 kilometers.
"Wow, that's great."
Tobias was beaming with delight at this compliment from King Cesar.
"Yes. Four times more efficient. The range is 2.5 times greater. We can finally show it to His Majesty!"
"......"
Jin looked at the warp gate with quiet eyes.
"Jin-dono, what do you think?"
Jin is startled by the voice.
"Yes, I think it's a big deal. This will revolutionize the movement of people within the continent.
Tobias' face flushed with joy at these words from Jin.
"I am honored!
Although he was not allowed to see the inside of the building because it was a top secret, Jin had a rough idea of what it looked like.
(The convergence and synchronization of the magic waves that connect the two units must be too lax ......, so it would eat up extra energy.)
In the previous system, the two units are connected by a very thin thread ...... but very strong, say, hyperadamantite wire.
In contrast, the method in front of us is like a paper string that is about to break, and tens of thousands of them are bundled together to make it stronger.
Therefore, the connection distance cannot be extended, and the amount of free magic element (ether) consumed is an order of magnitude higher.
(But you should be commended for your ability to reproduce this much in just a few months. (But you should be commended for your ability to reproduce such a large amount of data in a few months.)
Jin praised Tobias in his heart, saying that there were many things to appreciate.
Jin himself had inherited this knowledge from his predecessor and had not developed it by himself. Thus, Jin sometimes reflected on himself.
"I would like to have your opinion, Jin-dono, but that would be going against the policy of the country, so I will give up the idea.
Jin thought that the fact that he could say such a line in front of the king was a proof that this country was being managed in a sound manner.
At least, it was a scene that had never been thought of during the reign of King Richard.
"You may consult with me about the other one.
King Cesar told Tobias with a laugh.
"Oh! Yes, of course. Jin-sama, please take a look at this.
Tobias led the group to another room. There sat a golem that appeared to be a new model.
No, Jin intuitively sensed that it was not a golem.
It was generally slender and flat.
"Is it the backbone of an automaton ......?"
Tobias was startled by these words.
"Oh! That's my master Jin! You are the Magecraft Meister!"
As Jin had expected, this was the core of automata.
The core of an ordinary automata is covered with skin to make it look human a human being.
However, when touched as it is, the core of the body under the skin touches the skin, making it feel rough to the touch.
High-end models are covered with cushioning material, but they still do not look as human as human beings.
Reiko's construction is very rare.
"There was a man named Donald who used to work for our country, and he proposed an golem. But no one listened."
"I see."
"Now I see how advanced what he was advocating was."
Tobias's face looked disappointed as he said this.
