Academy’s Weapon Replicator chapter 303

Chapter 90 Hitchcock (2)

Frontier’s Adae was not purchased.

Created with the help of many people.

Constell’s Vinkiss teacher, senior Edwin. And even Saibel’s father Daoud. Of course, Cybel would also have provided considerable help. Because it’s that kind of character.

However, the reason they were able to create this sub is entirely thanks to Frontier’s three-dimensional design.

A three-dimensional blueprint showing an exact replica of Elodie’s subpod.

‘From Hitchcock’s perspective, it’s no different from leaking blueprints.’

It was not stolen by breaching security. However, this does not mean that the products are placed side by side and made identically.

However, the blueprint is already in Frontier’s workshop.

Hitchcock would never have imagined this situation.

Because Frontier’s weaving skill is a ‘unique’ skill.

“… … “This pade.”

After thinking for a moment, Frondier opened his mouth.

“The source cannot be disclosed.”

Frontier said so.

I can’t tell you about his weaving skills. However, I don’t want to attract Vinkys teachers or other people.

If you say you don’t know, you may get caught for that comment later and create an even more difficult situation.

So Frontier’s decision was this.

“… … “You can’t reveal it?”

“Yes, it’s a secret.”

Rather, it would be better to focus Hitchcock’s suspicion on that one person. This will help you avoid getting people around you involved.

Above all, even if he doubted it, Hitchcock would not be able to reveal Frontier’s secret right away.

“… … All right. The original project was about three-dimensional maps. Now, this way.”

Jeremy didn’t know what to think of the answer, but he just nodded and continued guiding again. Even without revealing Adae’s source, Frontier is still worth bringing to the company. It seemed like that was the decision.

“If you pass through the hallway leading from here, you will head to Research Institute 1.”

As I walked, I came across a large space, and passages that seemed to lead to each building extended in various directions. Jeremy led the way toward one of the aisles.

“It seems like a research institute would be very concerned about security. Don’t they make preparations for that?”

“Of course I am doing it. We have already taken appropriate measures against Frontier. This company has security magic installed according to certain standards. “We determine and record who came in, when they came in, whether they were invited, and whether they are allowed to enter the building.”

Certainly, Frontier’s sixth sense also read the signs of mana in each space. However, it was so faint that it was similar to that of small animals such as birds. Probably a lot of effort was put into magic engineering for security magic. By using magic engineering, you can use the same mana more efficiently. The use only changes to a limited extent.

As I passed through the hallway, the atmosphere clearly changed. Above all, the uniforms of employees have changed. It seemed like a place where only researchers stayed.

“Here we go.”

Following Jeremy’s guidance, I entered a lab and there were several people waiting as if they had already been waiting, and there was an empty space in the center of the interior.

After checking Frontier’s face, one of the people inside approached.

“Nice to meet you. “My name is Paul, the first research institute director.”

Paul offered to shake Frondier’s hand, and Frondier took his hand.

“This is Frontier.”

“Did you hear the explanation from Jeremy?”

“Well, all I know is that it involved stereoscopic maps.”

“That’s enough.”

Paul turned his back and this time walked towards the panel in front of the empty space inside the lab.

“We are currently conducting research to commercialize the three-dimensional map shown by Mr. Frontier.”

“Commercialization… … Are you talking about making it into a product?”

“of course. Maps are not only needed during war.”

It certainly is. Maps can be used at any time. Especially in a space like this world where there are monsters and where the human realm is limited.

“If a three-dimensional map is completed, citizens will be able to check elevation differences on roads they are unaware of. It’s easy to misread a flat map when you need to traverse it, especially in the case of forests or valleys. So far, we’re essentially relying on the feet of people who have already been there. This is why even though there is a map, we cannot completely trust it.”

“It will be possible to travel more comfortably and safely.”

“Yes, we will use that as demand and make a lot of money.”

Paul laughed and joked lightly.

“Would you like to look at it first?”

“I don’t know if it will help even if I see it.”

Of course, Frontier does not create three-dimensional maps based on mechanical or engineering concepts. Of course, it would be a completely different concept from the products Hitchcock creates.

“hahahaha, you don’t have to feel pressured. “We just want to get help from different perspectives.”

Paul said that and manipulated the panel. Then, light illuminated all around the empty space.

‘… … ‘This is a hologram.’

Frontier recognized it at a glance. There was no way I didn’t know. He still vividly remembers Queenie’s ‘prank’. When I think about the time when the scene of killing Belphegor was revealed to the citizens of the empire, my eyes turn dark.

The hologram I saw at that time. What unfolded before Frondier’s eyes had a similar appearance. This is definitely the first method that comes to mind when you hear the word ‘three-dimensional’.

Holograms created things like buildings, trees, mountains, and rivers on the floor. It was of considerable quality. Because it uses black cloth, its resolution is incomparable to Frontier’s three-dimensional map, which is inevitably created with only black symbols.

‘It’s not too close, and if it’s this size, it can be used as a map.’

Frondier nodded and then spoke.

“That’s great. “Can’t it be used right away at this level?”

Frontier didn’t see any particular problem. In the first place, he created it with only black cloth, but this is the culmination of all kinds of techniques. It’s much easier to see.

“Yes. There is no great discomfort in seeing this one.”

“Then what’s the problem?”

“This map you are looking at now, how big do you think it actually is?”

In response to that question, Frondier looked at the three-dimensional map again.

The map is obviously supposed to look wider than reality, so everything is smaller than reality. By looking at the extent to which forests, buildings, etc. have become smaller, you can roughly determine the size of the map.

“… … Roughly speaking, it seems to contain about a small village.”

“That’s right. It took us over a year to turn this village into a hologram. “I recorded and verified each item and tried to make it as similar as possible.”

From there, Frontier guessed what Paul wanted to say.

“… … It’s taking too long. “To make an entire empire this size, we would need over a thousand pieces.”

“Yes. However, if the scale is too small, it becomes no better than a flat map. Moreover, in an emergency situation such as war, things like troop deployment and course must be reflected immediately, but there is not enough time to prepare for that.”

Frondier nodded.

This hologram is very nice to look at, but it is difficult to consider it as a general map. To put it bluntly, it can be used as a guide to any area.

It may be helpful for theme parks or famous tourist destinations, but it is difficult to cover the entire empire.

“In addition, after winning the war against Mangot, the empire is currently moving to expand its territory there. “It would be next to impossible to expand this map to fit that plan.”

“… … “Structures that have changed due to war will also be a variable.”

“That’s right. Although the damage is minor, there are broken walls and damaged villages, and there will be a process of rebuilding roads.”

Hitchcock wants the three-dimensional maps they create to be reflected in real time.

Just like what Frontier showed at the Imperial Conference.

“What do you think, Frontier? This three-dimensional map.”

“… … Excellent. For me, I have no choice but to say that. “If we were to make the same map, if I had to choose between the one I made and this one, out of 100, I would choose the holographic map.”

I don’t know exactly where the map I’m showing you is pointing to, but if you know the location, you’ll be able to create a frontier in no time.

Frontier will create maps by gathering more up-to-date information, so Frontier’s maps will be more accurate in minor differences.

However, comfort is more important to the general public than such minor differences. In that respect, it has definite strengths.

However.

“… … However, it is not realistic.”

“Is that also the case?”

“If Hitchcock wants to use this map in war, there is a further problem.”

“What is it?”

“I don’t know where the war will take place, but for this empire, it will usually be outside the realm. In other words, it is a war with the monsters outside. If that happens, it will probably be an area completely unfamiliar to Hitchcock, who is focused on creating maps within the empire.”

“… … Yes, it is. Therefore, if war breaks out, a map of the area must be quickly drawn up… … ah.”

As Paul came up with his own answer, he realized the problem it created.

Frondier said.

“Who will make it? During the war, who of the Hitchcock Company would go to an area where monsters roam outside and record the distance and location?”

“… … okay. “It was a blind spot.”

Simply put, putting a bell around your cat’s neck. A solution that is too risky compared to its effectiveness cannot be chosen.

Paul listened to Frondier’s words, nodded and wrote them down in his notebook.

Seeing that, Frondier paid attention to the hologram device again.

‘… … ‘I’m really sorry.’

This device, rather Frontier, is good to use.

If you know the principles of how it is implemented, Frontier has enough information to be able to show anything as a hologram.

I’m really sorry, but I’ve already put the blueprint in the workshop.

“… … .”

Meanwhile, Paul and the other researchers fell into a long silence.

Several problems had already been discovered, but Frondier’s words led to a new problem.

I hoped that a solution would come from a new perspective, but only more problems were discovered with a new perspective.

‘… … ‘I can’t help it.’

Frondier was feeling some remorse right now, so he slowly opened his mouth.

“Would you like me to show you my three-dimensional map?”

“… … ! Is that true! Please!”

Paul became angry and answered. Jeremy, who was watching from the side, opened his eyes in surprise.

Jeremy asked.

“Is it okay to show that without permission?”

“It’s not like I’m hiding it in the first place.”

Frontier has already revealed this three-dimensional map twice, at the professional organization Phenomenon and in the Royal Palace conference room.

Since it has all been spread through rumors, there is no point in hiding it later.

Anyway, the three-dimensional map is an application of black sky, and the three-dimensional map itself is not important.

Crash.

Frontier manipulated Adae. This sight catches the eye of Paul and other researchers.

Perhaps they are thinking that it is very similar to their products.

Suuu-

The black sky spreads and flies into the space where the hologram was. After seeing that, Paul quickly manipulated the panel and shut down the hologram.

“I don’t have many maps to show you.”

First, Frontier made a map around Constel.

Because a large amount of maps were acquired from the Phenomenon headquarters, most of the surrounding area was possible to implement.

“This is what it feels like.”

The completed three-dimensional map of the Frontier. As expected, the appearance is much cruder than Hitchcock’s hologram. It is only indicated by black water droplets.

Nevertheless, Paul looked around carefully, admiring the completed map.

“What is the scale of this map now?”

“… … Oh, there’s nothing like that in particular, but if you want to take a closer look.”

Frontier guessed what Paul was asking and enlarged the map a little. As the image was enlarged, more details were added. Smaller trees, places with water, etc.

Paul’s eyes widened at that small movement.

“Woah, can you zoom in?!”

He sounded so surprised that even Frontier was a little surprised.

“Yes, yes. That’s right. “I also used this method when explaining the operation.”

“Oh, how! How is that possible? After making it three-dimensional, rearrange it again… … !”

ah. That’s where Frontier’s thoughts came to me.

People are surprised by Frondier’s actions because they create something completely different from their own three-dimensional map.

“… … “I create maps by putting them together.”

“Combining them?”

“yes. It doesn’t matter how detailed you create it anyway, and as you can see, I can’t implement the colors. “What I’m focusing on is the coordinates.”

Frondier gave a brief explanation.

He has put a considerable amount of maps into his workshop, and they are organized according to his ideas.

Maps with similar scales and those showing the same area are aligned, and most maps display elevation differences. Even if the numbers are different from reality, the accuracy improves as the amount of maps increases.

… … Of course, I can’t tell you everything, I can only explain the concept of merging.

“This way you don’t have to go and measure or record the numbers yourself. “Because the map that already exists is taking its place.”

Paul wrote down Frondier’s words verbatim.

However, Frondier had a slightly subtle expression on his face while explaining.

‘… … Having said this, is this method possible to implement as a hologram?

Simply put, what Frontier is doing is overlapping coordinates. If you integrate multiple maps, you will get a figure that is close to that even if it is not completely the same, so Heukcheon displays that figure as is.

This is possible because the medium called Black Heaven moves along with the limbs of the Frontier.

Wouldn’t it be difficult with holograms?

“Um, I understand!”

At that time, Paul seemed to have gathered his thoughts and spoke powerfully.

“I need to get rid of this project!”

The eyes that spoke sparkled with hope, but the content was bloody.

“… … yes?”

“Everyone was probably feeling it. It’s difficult for this research to go any further. But we had come such a long way that no one could quit. But now that I know the new method, I’m going to scrap it and start again.”

“… … Is that okay?”

“Sure. “This is research that will never turn into a product anyway.”

Paul said and extended his hand to Frontier again.

“Thanks to Mr. Frontier. “Thank you very much.”

“… … Ah, yes.”

This was the first time he was thanked for ruining a project, so Frondier awkwardly took his hand again.

“In return, we would like to introduce you to a product from our company that suits Mr. Frontier. How about that?”

“… … That’s good. Can I choose?”

“of course. “Let’s see and touch the products and make your choice.”

Frondier hid a bitter smile inside.

This is the same as when I went to the imperial palace armory.

It doesn’t matter at all what you choose.

Because just ‘seeing’ is enough for him.
