Jin was a little depressed to hear that even No. 700672, or rather its masters, could not create a , Nevertheless, he decided to speak his mind.
"......Will you listen to my theory?"
The 700672 nodded in response to Jin's words.
"Of course. I do not have much creativity like my masters. Memory and assistance are my roles.
As a homunculus, No. 700672, like the automata and golems created by Jin, is not as creative as humans, It seems that, like the automata and golem created by Jin, the 700672 has superior memory but inferior creativity compared to humans.
"The warp gate, the transporter I am using, and the transporter. These basically connect two points in space, right?
That's right.
"My guess is that it's a spatial tunnel between the two points.
The 700672 responded to these words.
"Hmm, interesting. How did you come to that conclusion?
"Well, I think there are several ways to move an object between two distant points A and B."
Nodding his head, 700672.
"1, move the object at a very high speed. 2, move the object by connecting A and B spatially. 3, decompose the object at A and recompose it at B. 3, decompose the object at A and recompose it at B."
"Oh, that third one, can you do that?"
No, it's a method from my world of fantasy novels.
No, it's a method from a fantasy novel in my world. No, it's a method from a fantasy novel in my world. It involves disassembling an object to eliminate its mass and then transporting it long distances in the form of energy and reconstituting it at the destination. ......
"In my world, there were words like <>."
The 700672 is impressed.
"Mm, indeed. If our masters are still alive and well, I wonder if one day we will be able to do such a thing.
Jin and No. 700672 talked about the topic for a while, but Erza was concerned about her inability to say a word, Jin called out to her.
"Erza, it's not interesting for you to listen, is it?"
"No, it's not that. Just listening to her is beneficial.
"Well, that's all right then."
"haha, Erza-dono is making Jin-dono feel better, isn't she?
"Yes. ......"
Erza blushes a little.
Jin and No. 700672 then decided to return to the main topic.
"I think the warp gate is the second way, isn't it?"
"Hmm, you mean connecting the two points you mentioned at the beginning with a spatial tunnel.
"Yes."
In this case, the tunnel, its entrance and exit, is three-dimensional. In other words, you can think of it as the relationship between a black hole and a white hole.
"I have realized that the receiving side of the transition gate (warp gate) serves as a marker for the exit of the tunnel. The transporter is designed to send objects out even without a receiving side."
No. 700672 clapped his hands in admiration.
"Excellent. Your ideas are as good as those of my masters.
"So, here's my guess..."
"Well, let's hear it."
700672 leaned forward.
"When sending out, the transporter creates a tunnel across the space between the current location and the destination. This tunnel is a subspace, so to speak, separated in time from the space we are in.
"Well, why do you mean temporally?
"Well, first of all, being a tunnel, there must be a between the entrances and exits, but it is possible to send an object to its destination with almost no passage of time."
No. 700672 nodded repeatedly,
"Please continue."
He said to Jin.
"The fact that there is a <> and no passage of time due to the movement of the object means that time here is not the same as time there.
This is a familiar idea in modern Japanese science fiction novels, manga and anime. However, this did not seem to be the case with No. 700672, who looked impressed.
"Hmmm ...... such an idea ...... but it makes sense if you think about it that way ......."
Jin continued his explanation.
"The starting point of my theory is that even though it takes almost no time, a little time must have passed.
"Yes, and?"
"Even if the energy supply is cut off after the tunnel is built, the tunnel should still exist for a very short time. If you jump into the tunnel you've created, you yourself can travel through it. ....... That is the concept of the ."
"Excellent!"
The 700672 stands up excitedly. Neige, Reiko, and Erza look on in surprise.
"No, I'm just excited because your theory is so brilliant.
The 700672 sits back down.
"By that logic, it certainly seems possible, doesn't it?"
"Yes. Yes, but there are a few problems. First, how do we jump into the tunnel we've built?
"I guess so. When you jump into the tunnel, you have to stop making the tunnel. Then you have to jump in a very short time before the tunnel disappears.
