The next day, the 24th, before noon, Jin D. submitted a written summary of the bandits to the Duke of Breu.
"So ...... one of their hideouts is in the middle of Mount Bilbo. Does this sound credible?"
The information was not read out from the control core, but was tracked by the old man with his peepers, so the level of reliability is much higher, but Jin cannot say that.
"Hmmm, there are four in total. The three who came last night and the one who remained at the hideout. There are only two golems, and we have one of them. ...... I see... I see..."
In another document, the details of the golem, including its structure, were described, and Duke Breu, who was not an expert, skimmed over them.
But if he had read it properly, it would have made the arrest of the bandits a little easier. .......
"First we have to arrest the bandits. ......Thank you, Mr. Jin, for the information you have provided. ......What will you do after that?"
Duke Breu, after giving orders for the troops, thanked Jin and asked what he was going to do.
Jin D. replied, "I have no particular plans, but I am tired after an all-night stay, so I think I will go back to the inn and rest.
Jin D. answered, "I don't have any plans.
If it had been Jin himself, he might have said, "Go back to Horai Island," but since he was being controlled by the old man, he did not make such a mistake.
"Well, sure. I took a nap, but you didn't take a nap yet, did you, Mr. Jin? I am sorry about that. I'm sorry about that. ...... I'd like you to take a rest in my house.
Jin D. could not refuse the Duke's offer, so he decided to take a rest at the residence of the Duke of Breu.
However, since he is a doppelganger, he only pretends to be asleep on the bed after taking a bath.
Jin himself is sleeping on Horai Island, so there is no problem.

As for Jin himself, he is considering the information on the golem that he has analyzed.
"I think the idea is not bad. The point is to make the hardware as simple as possible and cover the cost of production with software that can be mass-produced by copying.
"Yes."
Jin is a mechanical engineer by nature, and a hardware believer in terms of his love of metals and materials.
He is also a hardware believer in terms of his love of metals and materials. FORTRAN under the influence of a friend during his regular high school days.
However, I had a good teacher who helped me understand flowcharts and routines, which was very useful when I created new magic and wrote control formulas for golems after I came to Ars World.
Furthermore, since Jin was more of a craftsman, he was a good match for the lineage of the previous Magecraft Meister, Adriana Barbora Zetsi.
This may be one of the reasons why Jin was chosen as his successor.
A quiet word of caution.
"This method is superior to this method, isn't it?"
Jin feels that it is better than <>.
"<> is kind of halfway."
So, Jin is wondering if there is any way to improve on this line of thinking.
And then.
"Well, how about combining it with <>?"
Fluid Transformable Power <> has an exoskeleton, and fills it with a liquid magical metal like mercury.
Then, the liquid magical metal is transformed by the magic of <> to move it.
However, it is instantly realized that this method is a bit unreasonable. < is an type, and is not suitable for an endoskeleton.
"It's difficult. But that's why it's interesting. ......"
Jin likes this kind of time.
"If we move the whole body by <, it would be a complete reversal, or a primitive golem. ......
Yes, the first <> was made from magically reactive <> and moved by < type magic.
Since their entire body is made of stone, they are heavy, and their movements are necessarily slow.
"But wait, what?"
< is its mass. However, it also has its advantages. It is suitable for simple tasks, and as long as its free magical element (ether) does not run out, it will continue to move semi-permanently.
It is this type of golem that is still mining mineral resources in the underground of Horai Island.
"Wouldn't it be interesting if there was a magic material with a light ...... specific gravity of 1?"
Now, what came to Jin's mind was <. It is Magi engineering plastic developed by Saki.
The specific gravity is about 0.94. Jin thought that if he added a to the plastic, it would have a specific gravity of about 1.
Incidentally, the specific gravity of common magic resins (magiresin) is about the same. These values are close to those of fluorinated resins.
"Let's try first.
First, try with transparent materials.
The < is formed into a humanoid shape, and a <> is embedded in the chest.
The first prototype will be a <.
The first prototype will be a remotely piloted one, because there is not enough data to run it autonomously.
"My old man, try to run it with this first."
The "Mere Old Man" has accumulated data of several remote-controlled golems such as Titan 3, including the doppelganger.
This time, Jin thought of using this as a base to accumulate control data.
The old man declares a few words and sends a control order to the prototype Golem.
The Golem slowly stands up.......
<
"What do you mean?"
<
"I see. That's why that Golem can only respond in a certain way.
Still, the prototype golem stands up and walks slowly across the workshop floor. But it looks like a big baby.
But as expected of the old man, within a minute its movements have become much smoother. However, I must add the caveat that it is <>.
After watching for about 3 minutes, Jin said
"Okay, that's enough.
and made him stop.
"I have an idea."
Jin laid the prototype golem on the workbench and prepared several small magi crystals.
Jin implanted them in places corresponding to the prototype golem's shoulder joints, elbow joints, wrists, hip joints, knee joints, ankles, hips, and cervical vertebrae.
"I tried to make it easier to locate the control position as a marker. How does that look?"
The old man moves the prototype golem again.
It seems that the resources used to locate the coordinates are no longer needed, and the control is now smoother.
Its behavior has evolved from a baby to a toddler, and from an infant to a child.
"Much better. ...... old man, where are the other parts of the body that are hard to move?"
I see. ......
It would be better to wire the whole body with mithril silver magical nerve wires, but then the advantage of this method would disappear.
Jin thought again.
"......I guess it's the material."
Then, Jin tried to make a prototype golem of the same type out of <>.
Although it weighed twice as much, the conductivity of magic power and strength should be much improved.
What do you think, old man?
<
The prototype golem No. 2 started to move.
"Oh, it looks good, doesn't it?
Compared to Golem #1, it moves much better.
"I see. I guess the material is important. ......"
>, but <> would be a special material and would not lead to cost reduction.
Nevertheless, Jin found that an approach in this direction was also effective, so he decided to pursue further improvement.
