10 – Start researching!
As promised, Elena appeared with the Blue Dragon two days later.
The size of the blue dragon was about 20m, and it was three times the size of a saltwater crocodile.
“I was lucky. I was able to find the blue dragon, which is still nothing more than a hatchling.”
However, despite its overwhelming size, it was still only a hatchling.
If he had caught an adult blue dragon, he would have been able to fill the training ground here.
“By the way, how are you going to study this guy? Are you ready?”
“Sure. We did not play and eat while Master suffered.”
As I said, I made various preparations for the blue dragon research over the past two days.
And among them, there was a case of making a device to restrain the blue dragon.
“First of all, I’m going to secure this guy. To do that, I need some help from Master.”
A device I made to restrain the blue dragon.
This restraint made of solid steel weighed dozens of tons, and I could never move it with my hands.
Elena’s telekinesis was needed.
“yes. How can I help you?”
“See the blueprint here? Just assemble and tie them together as drawn in the blueprint here.”
I said that and showed the blueprint I had drawn.
Elena stared at me closely with a mysterious look, then looked at the blueprint and nodded.
“There is nothing difficult.”
– Dig!
As Elena used telekinesis, dozens of tons of steel were lifted.
Several pieces of steel wrapped around the blue dragon’s body, and each was assembled according to its purpose, completely blocking the dragon’s movements.

Let tens of tons of steel bind him like that-.
“Kurrure!!”
Feeling the strong pressure, the blue dragon howled ferociously and began to rampage.
When a pile of steel restrained himself, consciousness awoke.
– Whiik!
However, when Elena wiggled her hand roughly, a strong shock was applied to the guy’s chin and he passed out.
After confirming that the boy had passed out, Elena continued with a nonchalant tone.
“I have done all the restraints. What can I do now?”
“I will give you anesthesia. Don’t let me wake up again.”
“anesthesia?”
“Yes. There is an anesthetic smoke that is pre-mixed and made.”
I said that and pointed to the tube containing the anesthetic.
Inside the coffin were hallucinogenic mushrooms, tarantula paralysis poison, and ‘anesthesia smoke’ made by boiling the secretions of sleeping moths and finely ground mana stones.
It’s one of the few combinations I’ve found out while playing this game, so there shouldn’t be any performance issues.
“There is anesthetic smoke in that coffin. I’ll put a respirator over the dragon’s mouth, connect it to that tube, and inhale the anesthetic fumes.”
“…Can you anesthetize a dragon?”
“Yes.”
“…”
Elena looked at me with a surprised face.
It’s still in the early stages of the game, because the anesthesia recipe I made has never been released to the world.
“Are you talented not only in machines but also in drug manufacturing…? Ed, the more you know, the more you amaze me.”
Elena shows interest when she shows off an anesthesia method that has never been revealed before.
Sure enough, desire began to seep into her eyes.
This, too, was judged to be a kind of talent.
“Kuhm.”
However, I cleared my throat and refreshed the atmosphere.
Now was not the time to leisurely accept Elena’s desire.
“Then shall we move on to the next task? There is a lot to do.”
So I changed the topic and asked the blue dragon to put on a respirator and connect it to the coffin.
Elena nodded happily and followed all my instructions.
With this, I was able to complete all the basic settings.
“Whoa. This is the real start.”
Now that you have finished all the basic settings, it’s time to start your full-scale research.
I brought a surgical instrument that I had prepared in advance.
Then, pointing to the giant scalpel placed on top of Guruma, he said to Elena.
“First of all, we have to cut the guy’s body apart.”
***
The last two days Elena went to catch the dragon.
I couldn’t help but be busy without a bird to open my eyes.
This is because a lot of preparation had to be done in order to prepare for the study.
And the most elaborate preparation was ‘surgery’.
They practiced in advance by splitting the hatchling-type monsters they had obtained with difficulty.
And in the process, I was able to get a lot of information about hatchling-type monsters.
For example, about their organ structure or vascular structure.
Without ‘engineering thinking’, knowledge would not have been acquired so quickly.
“So, cut him in the side with this huge knife?”
“Yes.”
“Why? The blue dragon you captured with great difficulty will die.”
“So you have to control your strength enough not to die. It feels like it only cuts through the skin.”
“Hmm·····.”
Elena narrowed her eyes and looked at me.
Eyes looking at me to find out what my intentions are.
Apparently, there is no concept of surgery in this world, so he seemed unaware of my intention to open the skin and look inside.
“It is a necessary process for research. I will explain why later.”
So, I explained that I would tell you the reason later, and asked the housekeeper (?) once again.
Then Elena nodded, then, using telekinesis, lifted the knife and began slicing his side.
– Crack! Close by!
However, it is also the scales of the blue dragon.
It didn’t come apart that easily.
It was so hard that it could not even be scratched unless it was a high-level swordsman or wizard.
“It bothers me.”
But the opponent is Elena von Ilaid Rosario.
He was one of the absolutes who ascended to the rank of great wizard.
As she gave the knife an attribute enhancement and an aura, the guy’s skin began to grind like cutting fish cake.
“Whoa…”
And seeing this, I sighed in relief.
Seeing that there was almost no bleeding, it means that the artery was cut well.
After completing the second step safely, I approached Elena with the expected anatomy of the blue dragon drawn based on the previous hatchling anatomy.
Then, showing her the anatomy, I began to explain my plan.
“This is the blue dragon’s internal projection that I completed last night. The parts marked in red here are places to be absolutely avoided, and the parts marked in blue can be split in order.”
Elena looked at the anatomy chart and the blue dragon with her eyes narrowed, then nodded.
Then he looked at me with satisfied eyes and said.
“The painting is also of a high quality. Did you draw it quite similarly?”
“…Well, it’s because I draw a lot of blueprints.”
“But what is this? Cut part 4 and wait.”
Cut part 4 and wait.
Come to think of it, I left out the explanation about that, so I explained it to Elena.
“ah. So, this is going to connect his skin and tempered glass. That’s why I’m telling you to wait.”
“···yes?”
“Hmm… that’s why, we cut the blue dragon’s skin in the shape of a letter ◇.”
“uh.”
“And they said that they would connect it to the skin by inserting a ◇-shaped tempered glass. I prepared the glue, so it should connect well.”
After hearing my explanation, Elena looked at the anatomy once again.
As her eyes carefully scanned the anatomy, her mouth slowly opened.
Then she turned to me with a shocked expression and said.
“Ed. Are you saying you want to fill all of the blue dragon’s scales with tempered glass?”
After carefully reading the blue dragon’s anatomy, Elena understood my intentions.
However, it was half right and half wrong, so I corrected that.
“No, not all of it, but only part of the side will be filled with glass. I just need to be able to see my internal organs.”
“…”
However, even after hearing my explanation, Elena looked at me with a shocked expression for a while.
Apparently, he was shocked because there was a big gap between medicine in another world, which relied on heals and potions, and modern medicine on Earth.
It was understandable because the people of this world did not have the concept of surgery.
“Then, shall we begin?”
However, whether it is a person from another world or a person from Earth, they are all the same.
In other words, long-hardened common sense can be broken at any time in order to satisfy the ever-rising spirit of inquiry.
Science cannot progress only by being noble.
“Whoa. Okay, give it a try.”
And Elena was the most enterprising wizard I knew.
She too will reach new realms of knowledge with me.
***
Another 5 days passed.
Over the past five days, Ed and Elena have been able to successfully replace the blue dragon’s skin with tempered glass, filling the entire side with tempered glass.
This is thanks to James and his colleagues manufacturing and supplying tempered glass day and night.
“····It is the first time I have ever seen something like this in my life. You can clearly see the organ structure of a living blue dragon.”
And Elena was shaking her head as she looked at the result she had completed.
This is because the great blue dragon, regarded as a god by some tribes, became an experimental lizard.
Who would dare to think of modifying a blue dragon like this?
“We are finally here. Now it is time to study the mechanism by which he uses mana.”
However, at Ed’s words that followed, Elena’s sense of incongruity disappeared as if it had been washed away.
She was also curious about how the blue dragon uses the mana stones in its body.
“Then, once the anesthesia wears off…”
So Ed and Elena removed the respirator from the blue dragon’s mouth.
And loosened his restraints a little.
“Kurrr..”
I waited for him to wake up like that for 30 minutes.
Finally, the boy started to regain consciousness.
And as soon as he woke up, he could tell that something was wrong with his side.
The boy became enraged and started to run amok.
“Kwaaa!!”
A roar full of rage that made the ground shake.
Before long, a blue haze rose from the blue dragon’s entire body, and blue eyes began to spread in its eyes.
It was to raise the mana accumulated in the body and prepare for the breath.
oh oh oh oh oh…
However, Elena and Ed were on the sidelines.
This is because they are busy observing what is happening inside the blue dragon’s body.
Quaaa!
It was the moment when a breath of tremendous energy erupted from the blue dragon’s mouth.
Elena raised her left arm and activated the mana dispenser she had previously engraved a spell on.
Then, a blue shield appeared in the air and began to receive all of the blue dragon’s breath.
Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung…!
A collision so colossal that the entire training ground was shaken.
But even in the midst of that, Ed did not lose his concentration.
I just took a closer look at the blue dragon’s mana mechanism using engineering thinking Lv.2.
how much time has passed like that
“Master.”
Ed called to Elena in a low voice.
The corners of his lips were drawing an arc.
Because you finally got what you wanted.
“I think I found out what the blue dragon’s secret is. Now let’s go to the next step.”
Probably a ‘Dragon Heart’.
