“Tsk” seeing me unsure about my findings, Luna clicked her tongue in annoyance. And decided to conduct her test to verify if what manufacturers promised about the Mimirconium was true. After seeing my doubts about my findings, Luna thought it would be best to cross-check my results.
I wasn’t unsure. I just wanted to be thorough before pointing fingers. After all, words that are spoken can never be taken back. In the field of research, the worst enemy of a researcher was the retraction of their statement. This would even bring down a seasoned researcher. Yes, people make mistakes, but in the field of research, errors are entertained only in the confines of your lab or experiment, but once it gets out or published, retracting your findings only means death to your academic standing. From then, every published result of yours will not be taken seriously.
Veteran Researchers like Luna would only state their findings once they are done with their entire experiment and 100% sure about the conclusion. So naturally, Luna thought that I would do the same. So she trusted my words and decided to pick a bone with the manufacturer for their false claims.
” The energy retention period of the Mimirconium slab is indeed more than a minute.” After conducting the complete test, I found that the manufacturers were telling the truth, more like a half-truth. The manufacturer did not mention the conditions to be met for the energy retention period of the Mimirconium slab to be near 1 minute.
The Mimirconium slab has to be supplied with rule power for about a good 20 minutes to store enough rule power to display the energy retention of about 1 minute after the supply of rule power is stopped. If the rule power is supplied only for a minute or less, it can only display the retention period of about 20 to 25 seconds. The manufacturer purposefully did this because it usually would take more than 30 seconds for the Mimirconium to adapt to the rule power supplied. To reduce this time to mere 3 seconds.
The manufacturer had to do this because if the slab took near 30 seconds to adapt to rule power supplied or change in rule power that it would be of no use on the battlefield. As it only takes seconds to kill or be killed. I was able to deduce all this from the soul pathway arrangements of the Mimirconium slab. If it were Luna, she would have to use a soulscope amplifier to check the collection of pathways.
Soul scope amplifier is similar to a microscope, but this one is used to see soul pathways. But its efficiency is lacking as the range of soul scope is very low. But considering the caliber of the soulscope amplifier, it would take days for her to reach the conclusion I have arrived at.
“Those sly bastards. This is all a marketing gimmick. In the end, they did not lie to us as the slab’s energy retention period is indeed more than a minute. ” After hearing my detailed explanation of my findings, Luna couldn’t help but comment on the deviousness of the manufacturer.
“Yes, I understand that, but this initial energy retention period and charging time is too little for our use. If I were to make a small weapon or item, then this retention period and charging period would be efficient, but we are not making a piece of small equipment. We are making a freaking Megamorpher. The retention rate we require is very high, but if I try to increase the retention period manually, the charging period will decrease even more. ” I started the apparent problem with using Mimirconium.
To get an energy retention period of 1 minute for l kg of Mimirconium, I needed to charge it for a minimum of 20 minutes. These numbers would go higher if I were to increase the amount of ore to be used to 100 tons.
Here the energy retention period, mass, and charging time of the Mimirconium were inversely proportional to each other. Meaning if I were to increase one, the other two would decrease. If I tried to solve one problem, two others would arise.
Making this Mimirconium unfit to be used for large projects like Magemorpher, which would require 100 tons of Mimirconium to build. Under rough estimation for 100 tons of Mimirconium with current settings of the ore, to get a minimum 1 minute retention period for the entire 100 tons body of Megamorhper, the charging time of the whole ore would increase to a week.
If I had to charge the Magemorpher for a week before going to battle, and it would only last for 1 minute at most in an energized state, then it was not worth it. It would be considered stupidity to do this. I explained this to Luna, trying to be as honest as possible.
“Is there no other way?” Luna asked dejectedly.
“There should be. You two nerds gather your brains and find one.” Anna, who had been silently listening to our discussion, pitched in to motivate us. But unfortunately, there was no way for Luna and me to work together.
That is because the Heatsend royal family was not revealing to me what they would use the Megamorpher for. And Luna did not know the principle behind the working of Megamorphers. To form a collaboration, we both need to know the complete picture, but our secrets bound us from doing so.
“There is a way. If I get the recipe for this Mimirconium ore, maybe I can find a variant that will fit our requirements. Other than this, I do not see how this will work.” I had total confidence with the complete recipe of the mimirconium ore; I could create an ore that would meet the requirements to build a Megamorpher.
“Well that is not impossible but…
