Chapter 84 – The Great Mountains – 4
“So why did you call me…”
The atmosphere of the place calmed down for a moment, and tea was prepared for Marton, who sat down properly.
After drinking tea, Marlton waited for me to open my mouth with a relieved look on his face, knowing that he hadn’t called for something that didn’t work anyway.
“It’s not different. Sending waves of magical power.”
“Ah, you mean the magic wave?”
“Yes. Magic wave.”
Couldn’t mana be used like radio waves?
It is a technology created with that thought in mind. In the first place, the technology itself that deals with mana as a kind of wavelength exists, but it is a technology that is used as a kind of telepathy or message between people.
Engraving this on a magic stone was a completely different story.
“For now, we have succeeded in irradiating the magic wave in a certain direction.”
Continuously irradiating the magic power stored in the magic crystal with a certain wavelength. If you study this well, you can catch up with modern science using radio waves such as radio and walkie-talkies.
However, mana and radio waves do not have the same properties. It’s completely different from the beginning. If you try to use it similarly, you will of course fail. It is nothing more than a materialization of modern scientific objects using magic on a different principle.
In particular, science using magical power, whose characteristics change depending on the user, is of course unsafe.
The cameras, drones, and other technologies I’ve created so far are, strictly speaking, mere mimicry using my magical power.
“However, the magic crystal used in the experiment…”
Marton looked at me and carefully opened his mouth.
Oh, I see what you mean. So, as soon as he arrived, he knelt down.
“In this experiment alone, more than 30 magic stones… That…”
“Thirty?!”
Ugh!
Chloe screamed in fright at Marton’s words.
Although the price varies greatly depending on the quality and size of the magic crystal, the magic crystal used in the experiment had to be of a certain quality anyway.
It’s no wonder that Chloe is frightened. Marton hesitated to see if he knew that, and then looked at me and Chloe.
“Are you crazy! Do you know how much the budget for the workshop is?”
“Yes, but it was a necessary experiment! As Leoric said, failure is the mother of success, we can prove many theories by experiencing many failures!”
“Keugh!”
Is failure the mother of success? When did I say that
Anyway, as Malton said, I personally gave permission to conduct various experiments, whether they were successful or unsuccessful. The budget that went into it was only possible because of my father’s permission.
But there are people like Chloe that I don’t really like. I hate zig too. As a person in charge of internal affairs, it is something that cannot be helped. Even if you have a budget, it’s not enough.
She knew Chloe too well, so she shut her mouth tight and her fists trembled. Marton noticed it too late and shut her mouth. Although he has the title of director of the workshop, his status and position are also higher than Chloe.
“Well, calm down. First of all, I don’t intend to blame Marlton or the other researchers for the failure of the experiment.”
“Is that so?”
“Tsk.”
He calms Marton, who breathes a sigh of relief, and Chloe, who glares at him. Let’s move on with the story.
“Now we are receiving various reports about what happened in the Great Mountains. For those incidents, we assume that the main culprit is at least a medium-sized monster, and possibly a large-sized monster.”
“Large, large-scale monsters? It’s a big deal.”
Marlton’s expression with a dazed face at my words was a face that said that something big had happened somewhere far away that had nothing to do with him. Well, everyone who heard the news of an accident that didn’t happen around them must be like this.
“In addition, its characteristics are expected to be covert.”
“If you’re talking about stealth, you’re talking about people who are good at hiding.”
Those who hide their appearance and presence, including their magical powers.
To be honest, a big guy is rather easy to deal with. It’s not something I’ve experienced, but there are many bizarre monsters recorded in places like books. It doesn’t just fly in the sky, it spreads powder that corrodes everything from its wings, and it launches missiles at altitudes that are difficult to measure and launches orbital bombardments.
Those who are eliminated in the survival race inside the Great Mountains pop up, and that’s an example. It can feel really dangerous.
“I plan to use magic wave technology there.”
“Yeah? Magic wave technology?”
At those words, Marton’s eyes changed.
Until now, his eyes had been blurry, like that of the unemployed man next door, but in an instant, his eyes quickly changed.
He flinched and backed away a little, as if he was a little surprised by Chloe as well.
“I received a report on the ongoing research, but I heard that it was successful in re-observing the magic waves that were investigated?”
“Yeah! Normally, the irradiated magic wave disappears as it is, but by imprinting the magical magic formula on the magic stone and holding the irradiated magic wave for a certain period of time, I succeeded in measuring the magic wave that does not disappear after hitting an object, but rather reflects back.”
What Marton said matched my expectations.
As I said, I’m not science, so I don’t know the detailed theory, but the only thing I know about radar is that it can figure out what kind of object is at a certain distance by observing the return of electromagnetic waves.
Probably, the radar built on this basic principle is not even used now. Just steal the idea.
“In other words, reflected magic waves. Let’s call it the reflected wave. What would we know if we could collect various types of information, such as how long the reflected wave returned or what form it returned?”
At my words, both Marlton and Chloe started to get into trouble.
I know the existence of the radar, so I’ll know right away, but in this world, it’s possible to feel the magical power from afar, but there’s no idea of exploring it this way.
Again, though there may be families that have developed this technology.
“If you continue to spread and observe magic waves at the same speed…”
“Close objects are reflected faster, and distant objects naturally have a distance, so it inevitably takes time for the reflected waves to return… ?”
“Right.”
I laughed at their words.
It is the development of the magical power radar.
“Oh oh. All right now! We must start experimenting right now!”
“Wait a minute. Calm down for a moment.”
Stand up right away and stop the shouting Malton.
I admit my passion for research, but like I said, there’s no way you’ll be able to build a radar right away.
How are you going to calculate the exact distance by calculating the time of the reflected wave immediately returning in the first place? There are no computers in this world. In the end, a person has to calculate it by hand, but it will inevitably take time and the accuracy will be low.
It is a job that humans do, so mistakes are inevitable, and it will take a long time to prove that the formula is accurate.
Marlton seemed to have calmed down at my words, and his expression relaxed.
“Yeah, that’s right. Well, there’s not just one thing to do. But looking at what you are talking about now, the method of using the magic wave you mentioned…”
“Let’s call it Magical Radar.”
“Radar? It’s a strange word. Hmm. But sticking to your mouth isn’t bad. Indeed, Leoric. It’s an excellent naming skill.”
Yes.
Thanks.
After. Is this the destiny of those reincarnated in another world?
But there is no copyright in this world. I don’t think there’s anything to be ashamed of stealing an existing technology or name.
“And the important thing is about the stealthy large-scale monsters I mentioned earlier.”
“Hmm, are you really planning to use magic waves and reflected waves to find hidden monsters?”
“Yes. I have no intention of measuring things that require complex calculations such as exact location or size right now. The important thing is to be able to know that something exists in that location.”
“Um, indeed.”
At my words, Marton’s head nodded.
“But for now, magic waves are all experimenting in the outskirts of the city. Since ancient times, the Great Mountains have been densely packed with magical energy, and ordinary people could easily faint from exhaustion. Can we properly observe magic waves in such a place?”
“Of course it will be difficult. He will also have to continue the experiment, but for now, he will use my magic power.”
If the density of magical power is high, it is offset by the quality of overwhelming magical power.
The Great Mountain Range is too big for me to walk around and observe it myself.
“It would be possible if Leoric-nim stepped forward himself. Conversely, the problem is that this time it is the Great Mountains. Considering the numerous obstacles, animals, and monsters that exist there, can the Magical Radar produce the desired result?”
“That’s a good point.”
I don’t know if modern antiquated radars actually functioned well in those places. Maybe it was hard? I actually came up with the idea of a magic radar, but I don’t know if I can get the desired result. In the first place, it is a world where mana is controlled by individual power, even if no tools are used. Even in the modern world, if a certain person freely uses power including radio waves, can the current technology be developed?
However, the important thing right now is not actually needing a radar. You should focus on finding large monsters.
“We are dealing with monsters that are estimated to be large.”
A wave of magic that spreads over a certain range.
Could it be that there is no reaction even if it is stimulated by the magic wave using my magic?
