Jin decides to proceed with the plan on the premise of building an artificial island as Machina's base.
"If we make it bigger than <>, we might have a lot of problems, so I think we should make it less than half the size."
<> has a diameter of 2 kilometers. Jin said, "Let's make it 1 kilometer in diameter.
"When you say artificial island, are you going to fill it with soil?"
Elsa asked, understanding Jin's reluctance to call it a mega-float.
"Yes. <.
In addition, she wants him to understand that it is a historic building. Even if it was just built.
"You're asking for some interesting advice," says Reinhardt.
Reinhardt, who had good instincts, came over.
Starting with that, Stearena, Marcia, Licia, Lewis, Bina ......, and the whole Jin family gathered except for Zion, Rhodos, and Ludmila, who had returned to the Nordic Federation.
Even Saki,
"I need a change of scenery.
"I'm going to have a change of scenery," she said.
"I think steel is a good choice for the structural material.
Saki says.
.
This is partly because steel is not used much on Horai Island.
"If we use Magi type alloys, strengthen them well, and stabilize them properly, we should be able to get more than enough strength.
The old man confirmed Saki's opinion.
"Then we should make a framework of steel and use light silver on the outside.
.
The old man suggested that a mesh of mithril silver sandwiched between light silver (titanium alloy) and orichalcum (beryllium copper alloy) would be a good structure.
"I see."
The mesh of mithril silver is a "nerve wire" so to speak. It is useful as a sensor to detect anomalies in the exterior as soon as possible.
"What about the overall shape?"
Marcia asked.
"Well, I was thinking of making the body a short cylinder with a layer of earth on top.
What about the bottom?
"The underwater part is a cylinder. And the bottom should not be flat, but rather a loose round bottom.
That would be more stable and stronger.
Rodrigo agreed.
"What about power?"
Reinhard asked.
"In the underwater part, we can place a . Of course, it will also be equipped with a force field generator.
"Will it also fly in the sky?"
Reinhardt seems to love this kind of talk.
"Yes, I'll make it so it can fly. That's just an added bonus.
Jin said, "We'll give it the ability to fly as a supplementary function.
"Besides, it would be easier to assemble it on the moon."
The idea was that it would be easier to work on the moon (UNY), where the gravity is lower than on Ars.
On the other hand, if the gravity is too low, it seems to be less workable.
"So, we assemble the main body on the moon (UNY) and build the ground part here? It will be interesting to build the ground part.
Now Stearena is getting more motivated for some reason.
"Yes, it is. I guess you could say it's an extension of building a garden.
Vivienne is now on board.
Everyone is in high spirits when it comes to building things.
"It's a base, so you're going to build a house, a laboratory, a workshop, something like that, right?
Luis said.
"That's what it will be.
Jin answered, and now Bina got into the mood,
"It would be nice if they are connected by an underground passageway!
(They were all talking about the time they were in Hale.
(Maybe everyone has been relaxing in Hale and something strange turned on...?)
) Jin imagined that he might be right.
In other words, he wanted to build something like a secret base. < house.
After that, we were all talking about how to design it as an island, how to divide its interior, and so on... .......
(Ah, this is the way the <> should be. ......)
I was so moved, Jin.
The details of the <> were not finalized in that one day, but were worked out over the next day.
Okay, let's go with this line.
"Aye."
I agree.
"I'm looking forward to it."
As a side note, the Hurricane, carrying the asphalt emulsion purchased in Mitsuho, has returned safely.
Saki is working on the research and development of non-woven masks, and hopes to continue this research as soon as he is free.
Saki is working on the research and development of non-woven masks.
And the construction of the base begins on the moon.
"Well then, , I'm counting on you."
Yes, you can count on me, Master Jin.
All the necessary data has been given to Jack via the old man.
The materials are more than enough at the moon.
Since the materials are iron-based, building in a vacuum prevents oxidation, which is also an advantage.

While Jin was on his way to the moon, Erza began researching the reason why engineering magic does not work on living organisms, which she had been thinking about for some time.
The results of this research would be of great help to the future of medicine.
Hannah and Licia were assigned to help with the research.
Hannah with her excellent theory and Licia with her own healing magic.
"We'll do our best."
I'll do my best.
I'll help you, too!
The three began their joint research.
Whether or not there will be any results remains to be seen. .......

"Oh, Jin, take a look at this."
Saki then asked Jin to help her with the prototype of the non-woven fabric.
