...... But where did they get the materials to build all these boats?
Sam2 talks to his partner Sam9.
I'm sure of it. ...... It's one of two things, they either mined it here or brought it in from somewhere else.
Mm-hmm.
They continued their search and Sam 4 and 5 found something.
A magic circle.
It was on the floor of a large storage room in the back of the facility, presumably unused.
It's a magic circle. I'll report it to the old man at .......
, and from the location, it is most likely used for procurement of materials.
The old man decided to locate the opposite magic circle.
<
The old man thought so, and processed a piece of <> a little and adjusted it to emit magic waves for a short period of time.
.
The old man sends the piece in front of Sam 1 with the transporter.
Roger that.
The piece is about the size of a pickle stone for Sam 1, but he can carry it around just fine.
Then place it.
Standing a short distance away from the shifting magic circle, Sam 1 throws the into the center of the magic circle.
However, it is like a small piece of gravel.
The shifting magic circle has transferred the to somewhere else: .......
* * * *
A <> appears on the receiving side.
By its nature, the transference magic circle stays on the magic circle until it is removed from the outside.
Otherwise, it would be sent back immediately, and then sent back again from the destination, continuing the round-trip transition .......
However, if something else remains from the magic circle until the time when it is sent out, it will be sent back again together with the magic circle.
Specifically, grains of sand, dust, etc. are treated as such.
<>? It is a possible location.
Mount Naqiu. There is the former base of the <> discovered by , i.e., the <> discovered by . It is currently under the control of <> and <>.
< made at the base in Mount Nakhu?
The old man decided to examine the base at Mount Naqiu in detail with his "peepers".
>.
Behind the wall, a <> was found.
However, it was in disrepair and there was no sign of any recent use.
<>
There were some prototype parts lying around.
But nothing more was found.
<<5The Magi Crystal, which stores the memories of a person, does not seem to be here.
This was something we were half-convinced of when we found out that this was the site of Mount Naqiu.
It was also the base of Malchitas, who had already done a complete survey of the area after his death.
As a result, he found one such place that is known to him.
<
There is a base that was once used by the Malquitas, but has since been abandoned.
It is where the two captured , < and , were kept.
After the two were recovered, only a cursory investigation was conducted there. The island of Uchuto is equipped with a warp gate for emergency travel by the <>.
Therefore, the old man decided to postpone the detailed investigation of the island until later.
At that time, <> and <>'s <> was removed from their bodies and stored in a special container.
The old man thought that the Magi Crystal, which stored the memories of the 5, might have been stored in such a container, so he decided to search for it with his peeping telescope.
One minute, two minutes.
Still no luck.
Three minutes, four minutes.
No sign of it in the base facility.
>
Again, the old man searches inside the walls, under the floor, etc., using his <.
Incidentally, it takes a long time to see through a solid by <> using a . The same applies to opaque liquids.
Of course, if we adjust the frequency of <>, we can penetrate through solids, but then what we want to find will be penetrated too, and it will be meaningless.
Therefore, the search in solids is inevitably a steady scanning.
>
Seven minutes after the start of the search, the old man found a vault in one of the walls of the former laboratory site.
<
The contents of the writings are not known, but from the matching numbers, it seems that these must be the original memories of those 5<>.
>. ...... I see, this is where the magic crystals came from>>.
There seemed to be a vein of Magi Crystals in a relatively shallow place under Uchuto Island.
>.
It was thought that the island of Ututo would have been abandoned because it was too small to be used as a military base, and because it was poor in metal resources, although magi crystals could be mined there.
<
If you mine elsewhere and bring it back, magi crystals are much more efficient than metals because they are smaller and less bulky.
It will be easier to send out a survey team later if we have markers.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
The old man then reported to Jin and the others.
"So there is a vein of <> at ...... Uchuto Island. ...... but the quality is not so good, is it?"
<
"Oh, I see. I wonder if they used ...... to make a 5<> control core with it."
"Yes, that's a strong possibility."
Reinhardt confirmed the theory.
"But in the end, we don't know what kind of people the 5 are, do we?
Saki said a little disappointed. Reinhardt also expressed his opinion.
"The only thing left to do is to investigate the ruins of Mount Naqiu in a little more detail?
"Yes, I think that's the way to go.
Jin said,
Laojun said.
The fact that he was going to use his own mobile terminal showed his seriousness.
