Paper 103 There is no place to throw away
“You don’t know how to do this~?”
“Yes, I’ve only heard of it, but this is the first time I’ve seen it myself.”
“It was the first and last time I saw one that came in from the Amazon five years ago~ There’s nothing too difficult about this~ First you have to take out the whole eye. To prevent damage to the back nerve, put a bodily fluid compatibilizer and put it inside the magic freezing magic circle… … .”
Thanks to Aunt Miyeon’s explanation, Jihoo was able to understand quickly.
This guy had nothing to throw away.
Eyes the size of a small TV are plucked out as they are, subjected to special processing, engrave magic circuits into them, processed into smaller ones with [Space Glass] and [Space Distortion], and used as [Orbs].
This orb has [Advanced Telekinesis]. Like other telekinesis-related by-products, it has the effect of amplifying telekinesis, but even those who cannot use telekinesis at all can use [lower telekinesis].
This is an incredibly great option. It was like giving one more [characteristic]. After all, [Advanced] was different.
“The floats will weigh about 10kg in total. It’s definitely top-notch. Besides, the quality is good. What are you going to make with it?”
It was Aunt Miyeon’s question.
Jihoo thought for a moment. I got it in a hurry, so I don’t have a detailed plan. What came to mind was [Magic Railgun]. It was because it seemed possible if it was a high-class floating stone.
But I’ve never done it myself, and I’ve never seen anything similar. For other manufacturers, it would be much more efficient to make something else with [Advanced Floating Stone].
“Probably making a revolver. I want to imitate a magic railgun.”
“Not a bad idea~ It should be bigger than other revolvers. I have to make the bullets separately… … You should have about 5 kg. Even a big revolver won’t weigh more than 3 kg, just in case.”
That wasn’t all.
[Magical Devourer]’s skin has strong magical resistance. This itself can make various armors or artifacts for magic experiments.
At the end of the structure of the oral cavity, there was a separate place to [absorb], [refine], and [convert] mana. I can’t use it as a whole because I can’t copy the magic predator’s nervous system, but there are many places where it can be used separately.
‘It would be better to sell this part for now.’
There is no place for Jihoo to write right now.
Rather, other artisans will use it much more valuable.
And the huge skull covering the big eyes is also a very good material. Despite its large size, it was a miracle material that could completely block mana while allowing mana to flow inwards, possessing magic resistance and high magic conductivity at the same time.
definitely nothing to throw away
“Isn’t this a joke?”
“Right? Let’s stock up on what we need and sell the rest~ Since the size itself is huge, there will be a lot left over anyway~”
Jihoo nodded.
Coincidentally, money was also scarce these days. Compared to the past, I earned an absurdly large amount, but that’s because the amount I spend has also increased.
If you were going to make something, you had to pour money you’d earned in weeks. I had to work all night for several days to participate in an auction.
I need to save some money this time.
It would not be a bad idea to secure a steady source of money based on the money you have earned this time.
“How much will it be?”
“Hmm, he’s a guy who gets tens of billions of dollars if he sells them in bulk~ Snow and half of the floating stone. Even if it’s just a little bit of bone and skin… … 100 billion will pass. It’s a predator level, so the quality itself is good~”
That’s enough.
Jihoo left out the necessary by-products and delivered the rest to DeHaan, president of Sotheby’s. I thought he had gone back earlier, but it seems he was standing on one side and waiting.
He called someone and put the by-products in a sturdy-looking storage box and subspace. The commission was 0%, but rather, they said they would add 5% to the auction winning price.
The calculation was that if only this auction was properly known, it would be enough to make up for it as the winning bid price of other items increased.
Also, it helped Sotheby’s name value go up, so that amount was a very cost-effective publicity fee.
It was a mutually satisfactory transaction.
* * *
Jihoo was looking for a thesis on the magic railgun.
“Magic railgun. Words are mana, but it’s like using electromagnetic power. Since the electrical resistivity is close to 0, there is almost no heat and less energy is lost. The problem is that the speed of the bullet is so fast that most materials melt.”
Floatite is a dark gray metal. The strength and hardness were not bad, but they were definitely lower than the reinforced iron.
If the revolver was made as is, it would almost certainly break after a few uses.
“I’m sorry about this, but either the durability enhancement should be given a lot of weight, or all shocks should be mitigated… … .”
Jihoo thought deeply.
Anyway, the production of the revolver has to be commissioned by CEO Han Sang-geun. After that, Jihoo carves the circuit and turns it into an artifact.
However, only when we have confidence in how Jihoo will make it, we can deliver detailed requirements during production.
At first, I was going to make a revolver by cutting a whole floating stone. However, it didn’t seem necessary.
‘Cylinder and gun barrel. It might be better to put only four lines inside rather than the barrel itself.’
Chark-
Jihoo turned over the bookshelf.
The magical railgun is a famous theory. This is because it was widely used to make military weapons in the United States and China.
In addition, the theory itself was very simple, so it was inevitable that it would be widely known. The question is how to design efficiently.
Then he got his hands on the thesis itself.
– [Understand] the target.
-You have enough [mental strength].
-You have enough [Intelligence].
-The base [knowledge] is sufficient.
– Fully understand the subject.
“It is not difficult.”
After skimming through the book, I thought I would be able to [understand] it without difficulty, so I [understood] through it. Now, it wasn’t difficult to [understand] unless it was a high level of magic or expertise.
‘The biggest problem is that the strength and hardness are too weak. When used as a military weapon, it is so large that it is covered with reinforced iron or steel, but this revolver loses its destructive power that way.’
This is because the closer the pure [Higher Floating Stone] is to the bullet, the higher the destructive power. In addition, the longer the muzzle, the higher the destructive power, so the strength is all the more important.
Jihoo pondered for a while, but came to the conclusion that there was no answer for him alone. Unfortunately, I had no choice but to seek help again.
The first thing I went to was Han Sang-geun’s store.
“So, I want to make a revolver with this floating stone, but would you like me to do it with Jiyeol?”
“I think that would be fine.”
“Hmm, right. Even though I’ve been making firearms for a long time, I haven’t seen a case where a whole floating stone is made into a barrel. hahahaha, who would think of copying the [Magical Railgun] with the [Advanced Floating Stone]?”
That’s right.
In fact, even if Jihoo hadn’t wanted a higher destructive power, he would have made something more expensive and greater.
If you make armor or wings capable of certain levitation, the value is beyond imagination.
“I was thinking of making something like wings, but what am I going to use them for? A fissure might occur right away.”
“That’s right. Miyeon, the head of the union, said that it doesn’t seem like a completely large-scale crack. But again I don’t know. It’s the first time I’ve seen a crack that appears so secretly.”
“It is. Certainly, with the recent discovery of underground dungeons and this crack, I think it would be good to prepare in advance.”
“Contrast is always necessary.”
Jihoo also seriously thought about [Floating Wings]. By the way, it can be sold by itself at a high price, but if Jihoobo tells you to use it yourself, you can’t.
Unbelievable motor nerves and magical control are required, but Jihoo spreads a force field with his coat right away, and moving the thorns is too much for him.
Rather, it is much more efficient to link magic and artifacts later when the realm of magic has risen.
It had to be a secondary priority.
“Then do you do that?”
“So what? I used to ask Jiyeol a lot too. Certainly, if it goes through his hands, a solid revolver will be born without deterioration in performance, no matter how soft the floating stone is.”
“Yes. thank you.”
“Aww, thanks to that, I also got a part of the magic eater skull. This will more than cover the commission fee. I am grateful.”
It became a good deal with each other.
Jihoo handed over the blueprints for the cylinder and barrel of the revolver optimized for the [Magic Railgun]. It’s clumsy, but CEO Han Sang-geun understood it at a glance, and even answered that it wasn’t difficult.
‘If it is smelted by Mr. Geoyeol, it will be strong enough. But still there are limits. That’s why I made a circular magnetic force field while struggling.’
Finding the optimal design was difficult.
I did [understand], but understanding doesn’t mean that all applications come to mind at once. Obviously, designing such a weapon was difficult.
So what I thought was the [Hyper Loop] designed by Elon Musk of the United States. If you are concerned about the friction of the tungsten bullet, you can float it in the air.
Of course, even if you float it, the [friction] disappears, but the impact of [rebound] remains, so it is necessary to smelt the geothermal man.
‘This should be enough. Now, the important thing is, when the revolver is completed, the circuit to be engraved… … . And to think about how to handle the tremendous consumption of mana.’
A few things immediately came to mind.
But it seemed like I had to design it while looking at the finished revolver. So, Ji-hoo decided to make a weapon for Lee Hee-yeon with the remaining by-products.
She is strong enough to eat up a level in person-to-person combat. [Super sense] and agility-oriented stats. In addition, the ogre’s hand gloves made by Jihoo.
Is that all?
The recent combination of a shield and a greatsword made of metal stingray gave her wings as she ran at great speed.
But there was still something missing.
It’s destructive power itself.
And it was compatible with the spiritual monster.
‘Certainly, it’s good to raise the destructive power of the lack of firearms.’
Of course, it is limited to level 7 or lower.
A sword or bow that can directly process and utilize magical energy if it reaches a higher level. Because wands give you much more boost.
Took.
What Jihoo took out was the sawed-off shotgun that Jihoo had been using until now. Then, I took out 200g of [Advanced floating stone] and 100g of magic predator skin and skull.
This material alone is in the hundreds of millions.
The sawed-off shotgun Jihoo was using became capable of receiving at least three times the price of the first purchase.
But it didn’t seem sincere to give it as it is. There were a lot of things to do with her help in the future, so it was important to raise the fighting power.
‘Because I’m going to get a revolver anyway.’
There is no failure because there is [setting intervention]. Even if the strong railgun doesn’t come out as expected, it will be much more powerful than this saw off.
Jihoo thought while resting his chin on his chin.
How can I strengthen this saw-off? I already did everything I could.
‘Even if I wrap the handle with leather and draw [Link], there’s no way the saw-off function will be broken due to external magic shock.’
A security circuit is also added there.
One of Lee Hee-yeon’s weaknesses is that she is weak against spiritual monsters. Spiritual monsters or magic monsters do not have a security circuit, damage the artifact itself or stop its function, so this kind of work is essential when hunting spiritual monsters.
The same goes for other person-to-person combat. A security circuit is absolutely necessary when the opponent has a dispel-related artifact or when dealing with a wizard.
‘I don’t have anything to write about… … .’
It’s something you never know.
If a large-scale rift occurs, the rules that were followed around the [Indomitable Tower] will disappear without a trace.
Now that it’s stabilized, this ridiculous order is maintained, but when chaos comes, you shouldn’t expect anything like order.
Jihoo started to strengthen.
