136 – Strong and long-lasting batteries
To be honest, I’m not that busy as a captain.
This is because I have trained all the personnel so that the battleship can operate without my personal intervention.
So all I had to do was ‘judge’.
My only job was to receive reports of any issues on the ship each day and then make decisions about them.
In other words, ‘free time’ was created.
“Hmm…”
So I decided to use my free time to organize my thoughts.
It is about deciding which direction to take in the future.
This is because although we have made a lot of equipment so far, the level of manual skills and engineering thinking is still at level 3.
At this point, it was time to move on to level 4.
“······.”
Yes, of course it is still strong enough.
Compared to previous episodes, it is rude to say that I am now not only the strongest in the Academy, but also in the ranks of the strongest in worldview.
In terms of growth, it has become strong enough that it is shameless to be more greedy.
‘·····But.’
However, I am still lacking.
Knowing that he must become stronger than he is now to overcome the demons, he feels a thirst for power.
For this reason, in order to become stronger than now, I am looking for a way to increase the level of ‘manual skills’ and ‘engineering thinking’.
It has been stagnant for quite some time already.
‘What are the alternative conditions?’
I was worried.
What are the conditions for raising the level of manual skills and engineering thinking?
At first, I thought all I had to do was make a lot of equipment.
I gave him the experience needed for manual skills and engineering thinking to make any kind of equipment.
But when I built a dreadnought recently, I became convinced.
I won’t be able to level up like this.
That’s because when I built the dreadnought battleship, the experience I gained was completely 0.
‘This can’t go on. ‘Just replicating modern technology doesn’t help.’
The conclusion I came to is ‘magic engineering.’
Just as I borrowed the Blue Dragon’s mana circulation system for my body, I actively use the principles and mechanical structures of this world to create weapons and suits.
It’s not that I didn’t, because the period when my skill experience level increased slowly began when I focused on recreating modern firearms.
“Let’s get started.”
So I decided to go back to basics and update my body.
It is a transformation from just a battery to a powerful and long-lasting battery.
“Ed… Do we have to do that again?”
“Please. “Master”
So I called Elena to the captain’s office.
This is to remove the mana stone from my body and implant an emerald mana stone.
Emerald mana stones have a much higher mana compression rate than regular mana stones and can be broken into small pieces, so you will be able to set up your body more efficiently.
“hehehehe… It begins.”
So, I received a ‘link’ from Elena and used her telekinetic powers.
Just like before, he picked up the scalpel and started cutting my body.
– Phoo!
However, perhaps because it’s been a while since I used it, I’m a bit clumsy with the scalpel.
A number of incidents have occurred, such as accidentally splitting parts that should not have been split, boiling tendons and arteries, etc.
Fortunately, Elena healed her every time, so she was able to get through safely.
-Talk…Talk…Talk…
That’s how I took out the existing mana stone.
All 37 mana stones spread throughout my body were removed.
Now, I am no different from an ordinary person.
“Whoa… Let’s start again.”
And then began implanting the emerald mana stones prepared in advance.
Currently, the number of emerald mana stones I have prepared is 127, which is three times more than the existing regular mana stones.
In other words, the amount of mana reserves increases by three times compared to before, and the mana delivery ability also improves.
‘Three times the amount of existing mana… Then, I can use ‘that’.’
I was able to shoot a more powerful shot.
Gathers a large amount of mana into the huge mana stone in the center of the chest and emits a destructive beam of light.
Like Iron Man’s Unibeam.
‘In the past, I couldn’t use it because I had to use up all my mana. However, if you implant an emerald mana stone…
It is possible.
After firing the Unibeam, about 60% of the power will remain, so it will be sufficient.
It was three hours after the surgery, thinking about Unibeam.
“Thank you for your hard work. Master. Thank you for always helping us.”
I was finally able to complete the major surgery of planting 127 emerald mana stones.
Soon, Elena responded to my words with a disgusted expression.
“Oh… I’m holding back because it’s you. “You’re probably the only one who cuts open his stomach and shows it to me.”
“hehehe. Thank you.”
“Then let’s go~. “I have work to do too.”
As soon as her surgery was over, Elena left her captain’s office to do her research.
Once I was alone again, I sat cross-legged to perform the surgery and began mana training.
I wanted to feel with my whole body what the difference was compared to before.
-Gooooo….
This sensation of absorbing mana in the air and moving it throughout the body.
It definitely felt different than before.
I began to feel the detailed sense of mana clearly, as if I could feel the heat of high-alcohol alcohol flowing through my airways.
It was like the feeling that strength had returned to her fingers that had been paralyzed.
I definitely think I did a good job updating my body.
“Now all that’s left is…”
Updating the suit.
Since the battery specifications have changed, shouldn’t the suit be set according to the specifications?
I started tinkering with the suit’s power supply and mana management device.
In addition, an embedded device was installed in the center of the chest to fire ‘Unibeam’.
In other words, even if the Unibeam is fired, a control device is attached to ‘convert elements’ and fire according to the opponent’s compatibility.
In any case, something unfortunate like spewing a fiery Unibeam at an opponent in the water should not happen.
“Hmm…”
Afterwards, I opened the status window and checked the skill’s experience bar.
This is to check how much experience has increased through this major surgery.
However, the results are very small.
It’s a disappointing number considering all the hard work I’ve done, but I decided to attach meaning to the fact that I gained experience.
Recently, the experience level itself has not really increased at all.
“·····Hmm?”
At that time, a thought flashed in my head.
When he remembered that he had barely used the emerald mana stone, he found a solution to the problem of his experience not increasing.
“Was the material the problem?”
From noble mtl dot com
Materials.
Recently, I haven’t been using a variety of ingredients.
Most of them were made of iron, and the parts that were lacking were made up for using techniques.
Although this world is overflowing with numerous materials, most of them are not being utilized.
“That’s right… It’s mostly just what’s on Earth… What’s lacking is filled with magic.”
Why did I miss this?
Materials engineering is definitely a category of engineering.
In order to make any equipment or object, you must understand well what materials are suitable for the purpose, what properties they have, and what their strengths and weaknesses are.
If you think about it, didn’t the period when human warfare became more active begin with materials engineering to process iron?
I thought about this expedition with that in mind.
The ‘Sea Wall’ is one of the world’s three magical special zones that mankind has never conquered.
What kind of minerals are contained within the castle walls?
Is there an ultra-rare mineral like ‘Emerald Mana Stone’ like in the dwarf era?
If you have something like that, you will be able to level up faster than you think.
As soon as I thought about that, my fever quickly rose and my body became excited with anticipation.
You can escape level 3 for 10,000 years!
– Knock. Knock.
At that time, someone knocked on my door.
When I gave the order to come in, Greek came to me with a nervous face and whispered to me.
“The princess is calling.”
“······.”
Okay, I guess it’s time.
It was time to make a plan to kill the second prince, Ian.
I immediately put on my coat and went out of the captain’s office.
***
“It’s almost now. “Are you ready?”
Private room of the princess.
I politely replied to the princess’s request that I had completed all preparations.
Then the princess smiled and pointed to the chart on her table and continued.
“Well, you know this because I’ve said it countless times, but this is where Ian carries out his evil plan. “There are about 30 minutes left.”
“······.”
Ian’s evil plan.
It was none other than an operation to turn me into a puppet.
After pulling me into the sea and putting me in a state of torment, he used the devil’s bishop to control my mind.
The demonic bishop living in the darkness of Klendor seems to have strengths in mental attacks.
“Are you sure it’s okay to do it alone?”
However, I decided to be exposed to Ian’s plan.
It means that you will fall into the trap set by this guy.
It’s not that it’s not, it’s because the moment he reveals his cruelty is the only opportunity.
An opportunity to secure evidence that he was trying to manipulate me.
“It’s okay.”
So I willingly volunteered to act as bait.
Since this guy is involved with the Devil Church, in order to root out the Devil Church in Clendor, we must first remove the mask of the Bishop who is wearing the mask of the ‘Church of Salvation’.
-Kugugugugugugugung!
“A sea monster has appeared!”
And just in time, that moment came.
The moment when Ian, who is said to be the strongest in underwater combat, faces off against the Bishop of the Devil Church of Clendor.
-Crash.
I equipped the newly improved suit with my wife who left home.
