"Father, how about a new material, a ?"

 Reiko, who couldn't help but notice Jin's distress, made a suggestion.

"<><> or ......"

 If it is gold or silver, it would be more appropriate to call it neo-gold or neo-silver.

"I guess that would be fine. ......"

 I was thinking of using for the material of the satellite Alpha, but I retracted the idea without saying anything.

 Alpha iron is confusing because it is one of the phase states of high purity iron.



"So let's call the material that: ......"

 Jin stares at the reflection of the satellite Alpha on the large magic screen,

"We should think about how to put it in Hale," he said.

 He said.

 In this series of plans, that one point was very much in flux.

 Since the shape of the satellite was unknown, there was no way to decide on the details.

 At present, the distance to Hale is about 15 million kilometers. Flying at 100 kilometers per second, it would take less than two days to reach Hale.

 However, it would take a little longer because it would have to slow down in the vicinity of Hale.

"I think it would be more realistic to break it up into several pieces and call it ......."

 The size of Alpha is 400 km on the long side and 150 km on the short side. Jin thought it would be a good idea to break it into three pieces and place them in the .

"Yeah, that's true, too.

"That would prevent dangerous pathogens from spreading to Hale."

"That's a good idea. Then the central basin can be used for other purposes.

 A laboratory for various experiments, or a base to oversee Hale. Jin thinks that the Central Basin could be used for such facilities.

"Okay," he says, "with the Great Sage's input, let's leave Alpha in space as a satellite of Hale for the time being.

 Then Jin began to think that it might be a good idea to base it in the central basin instead of on the east coast.

"We don't have to worry about the underground excavation or leveling of the surface if we are in the central basin, where we have been messed around with so much.

 Jin relaxed his shoulders and said, "Let's take our time and think about it.

"You seem to have been a little impatient when you saw Alfa," he muttered.

 Jin muttered and leaned back in his seat.

"Father, would you like some tea?"

 Immediately Reiko came over with a tray of tea.

"Oh, thank you."

 There was a soy sauce cracker for tea.

"Yes, they are delicious.

 The texture was crunchy and the soy sauce was savory. The tea was sencha green tea, cooled to Jin's liking.

 Jin, who had been in a state of anxiety since he went out to space this time, seemed to have finally calmed down and relaxed.

 Since there is still time, Jin decides to call 700672 around here.

 Using the warp gate, he returns to Horai Island and moves to No. 700672 again.

 Of course, he brought his usual souvenir with him.



"Oh, Jin-dono, you have come well."

 Jin and Reiko are greeted by the same 700672 as usual.

 Neige and Rouge are looking well.

"It's been a while. I'm here today to invite you to Hale.

"Oh? So, have you been able to secure some resources?"

 700672 knows a lot about Jin's plan. It is only natural that he is familiar with Jin's plan, since he consulted with him when he was planning it.

"Yes, we are almost at Hale.

 Jin then explained to No. 700672 in detail what had happened so far.



"I see. So it was not noise, but an area with an abnormally high concentration of free magical element (ether)?

"Yes. That's why we finally brought it out with one Atlas ship.

"No, no, no, no, not 'finally'! You have finally accomplished what even my were unable to do. You should be proud of that.

"Thank you, sir."

 Jin thanked No. 700672 for the compliment, a little embarrassed.

I see, you've already made that much progress with your plan.

"Yes, so why don't you go visit?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com



"Yes, why don't we go for a visit? I'll take Rouge and Neige with me this time.

"I'm looking forward to ...... going out with your father!"

"I'm glad, Father."

 The journey will take only a short time, as you will be transported through a warp gate. No fancy preparations are required.

 I have been to 700672 several times, but this is my first visit to Neige and Rouge.

 Environmentally, it is equivalent to the ...... or even the , which is adapted to Hale, but it is no problem since it is .......

"Wow, this is Hale!"

 Rouge is running all over the place as soon as she steps out of the transition gate she set up on the east coast of Hale.

 Rouge is a homunculus modeled after Archel, a former puppet.

 I had expected her to have a high mental age, but it seems that she also has a surprisingly innocent side.

 On the other hand, Neige, who looked so young, was calm, but looked around her surroundings with great interest.



"Hmmm, there is more greenery than the last time I visited here. Perhaps that's why the air seems to be more humid.

 No. 700672 commented.

"What about the humidity?"

 Jin asked, thinking that he might not like too much humidity.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


"No, that's not true. I prefer moderate humidity. I simply think that the humidity in the white room was set low in consideration of the equipment."

"Oh, so that's what you mean."

"Oh, that's what you mean. I didn't think anything of it as long as I took it for granted, but this level of humidity is comfortable.

 Hearing this, Jin thought to himself that it was proof that the 700672 were also living organisms, albeit pseudo.



"Father, is this the planet where your father's fathers lived?"

 Rouge, who had been running around, came back before I knew it and asked 700672 a question.

"Yes, that's right. Although I was born on this planet, I went to Ars without knowing anything about the outside world. But even so, I think the environment on this planet is favorable.

"I agree with you, Father."

 Neige also affirmed.



(Ah, they are growing up too. ......)

 Jin felt that a homunculus can grow spiritually even if it does not grow physically.

 He was surprised to see that Neige, who had a young tone when he first met her, had grown up a little.

 On the other hand, he had never noticed that Rouge had such an active personality. Jin was again impressed by the fact that there are things that can only be understood in such an open environment.

 This new awareness will surely be useful not only for homunculus, but also for the creation of automata and golems.

"Where would you like to settle in this Hale?"

 Jin asked No.700672, hoping to complete such a design while he still could.

"Well, yes. I have been thinking about that. What about a basin of land in the center of the ...... continent?

"Ah, so that's where you've been looking."

 Jin also thought that such a use might be a good idea if it is not used as a resource area.

"I would like to discuss such things with you."

"Mm."

 The second chapter of the Hale development was about to begin.
