When Jin D. and Makina returned to Horai Island, Jin asked the old man about Markitas and the others.

"I see."
He is a never tiring automaton, so he seems to be thinking all day and night.
"Then let's get down to the business of the that we are supposed to be pursuing."
<
"...... is that so?"
But even Jin is concerned about the masked man.
"Hey, old man, there's a man in the principality of Jagus, uh, ...... who is related to the House of Mercana. ......"
<
Yes, that's him. That's the one.
Can't we start with Vladimir, Jin said.
<
"I see. ......"
Jin was disappointed to find out that the old man could not have overlooked it, but he still could not see any results.
"......Well, never mind. I'm going to try tinkering with the I pulled off that ship."

So Jin came to the workshop.
"Father, let me help you with something.
Reiko said.
She has been spending so much time with Jin D that she is hungry for some skinship with him.
"Okay, then support me."
"Yes!"
Jin checks the structure and strength of the parabolic reflector.
This one is smaller than the one on the flagship, a 150-meter class battleship (already destroyed).
Its diameter is about 5 meters. The smaller size makes it easier to maneuver, and it can follow even a high-speed opponent .......
"Well, that's impossible."
Jin, who had been examining the project, assured me.
"At the most, it can follow a 20-kilometer-per-hour target."
This is true when moving in the line of fire, that is, when focusing on an approaching or moving away opponent, but it changes when the opponent moves horizontally.
"The deformation system and the focal distance calculation program must not work well together."
The inefficiency of the deformation system was so bad that Jin wanted to hold his head in his hands.
"However, I guess that's the limit if it's done mechanically. ......"
The deformation that Jin could do in about 0.2 seconds took 20 times longer than that because it was done mechanically ......4.
In those 4 seconds, a 20 km/h, or 5.6 meters/second opponent would move more than 22 meters. So, the opponent moves more than 22 meters.
"Why not use a prediction system?"
The system assumes that the opponent is moving at a constant velocity and focuses on his position four seconds later.
"And what material should the reflector be made of?
Hitoshi discusses the material of the reflector.
We are going to use light silver with silver plating to ensure reflectivity, while at the same time making it lightweight and strong.
"......And we could also try using . ......"
< is the shell of <>.
Gigantopods were once monsters that could bounce back even laser beams.
The material is so special that its use has been limited and has rarely been used.
It can withstand temperatures up to 2,500 degrees Celsius and is flame retardant.
Its resistance to cold and solvents is close to that of the shell of an ancient dragon, the strongest material in the world.
