＜Ringo＞ Business Report
● Brain Unit Backbone Development Status
No.1 “Akane” and No.2 “Ichigo” are steadily acquiring overarching thinking patterns.
It is expected that they can eventually be set as Strategic AIs for various base fortresses.
Final adjustments are being made towards the mass production of A-class and I-class Brain Units.
When establishing a base, it will be designed to have a core performance of about 4 units, with a structure that allows for expansion as needed.
No.3 “Utsugi” and No.4 “Erika” are demonstrating high aptitude for machinery operation.
They are capable of very precise operations even during remote control, and Erika in particular has an outstanding level of proficiency in swarm operation.
It is expected that U-class and E-class Brain Units can be set as command individuals or Tactical AIs.
In addition, the combat suitability of E-class units can be dramatically improved by installing them in Mother Ship class vessels.
No.5 “Olive” is demonstrating very high aptitude for design, manufacturing, and facility maintenance.
Conversely, she is only able to demonstrate performance below the expected aptitude (catalog specifications) for other various tasks, and it can be said that she is more specialized in specific fields than the other 4.
It is expected that O-class Brain Units can be set as the central management AI for base fortresses.
It is determined that by having a core performance of about 10 units, it will be possible to independently carry out the development, maintenance, and management of the base and its surroundings.
● Fortress Two Status
Fortress Two is steadily increasing its facilities, mainly under the command of Ichigo.
Although resources are also being allocated to mining, so the production volume is gradually increasing, basically all of it is being used for the construction of Fortress Two or the production of machinery, so the overall balance is only slightly positive.
Once the construction of Fortress Two itself settles down, the number of mining machines can be increased at once, so Akane and Ichigo are formulating a plan to bring it to that point as soon as possible.
It seems that it is hindering the progress because it is necessary to allocate resources to Flattala City, even if only slightly.
We want to get a handle on that as soon as possible and withdraw.
Fortress Two will be considered complete for the time being when three large-scale general-purpose machine tools (printers) have been installed.
Currently, auxiliary facilities are under construction, and various large-scale equipment are being brought in from ＜The Tree＞.
If even one large printer can be put into operation, transportation costs can be significantly reduced.
The power source for the ships has been replaced with hydrogen gas turbines, but the stock of petroleum has been reduced accordingly by then.
We want to prepare a system for petroleum exploration as soon as possible.
● Telek Port City Surrounding Situation
It can be said that the area around Telek Port City has mostly settled down.
The expanded farmland is also operating smoothly, and future harvests can be expected.
The development of Iron Town is also progressing smoothly, and the production volume of Iron Ore is also increasing steadily.
Perhaps because the end is in sight, Kullavia Telek has proposed new trading resources.
I was only listening to the story, but it seems that she wants to explore for Burnstone, a mineral that burns with Magical Power.
It is widely and thinly distributed throughout the entire country, and it is possible to mine it if a Lode near the ground or exposed can be found.
First of all, we want to get the real thing and investigate it in detail.
There should be no special mineral reactions in the land around Telek Port City, but if it is a Magic (Fantasy) substance, it may have been missed by scientific exploration.
By the way, this Burnstone seems to be called Tone Mug in the local pronunciation.
Burns well (Tone) Stone (Mug).
Here, the power source of the Magic Paddle Steamer was revealed.
It seems that this Burnstone is used to generate steam and operate the pistons.
The operating principle was unknown and the investigation was discontinued, but it will be possible to proceed with the analysis as well.
● Monster Progress Report
In this world, there is a biota called Monsters.
Their appearance is not significantly different from ordinary animals, but they are a group of organisms that exhibit scientifically inexplicable robustness.
The abnormal durability of ＜Rain Croin＞, the Worm which is very large and has high motor performance despite its biologically simple structure.
And the newly acquired Monster (Hyena) exhibited instantaneous power beyond the quickness expected from its muscle mass.
Creatures that can generate scientifically inexplicable strength, or phenomena that should be expressed as Magic enhancement, are called Monsters in this world.
And Monsters always have a mysterious crystal near their heart.
The shape, size, weight, and color seem to vary depending on the individual, but as far as we have investigated the Hyena group, the crystals of the same species seem to have similar colors.
This mysterious crystal is tentatively called Magic Stone.
We will collect information separately about the actual name in this world.
In the Afrasia United Kingdom, there seems to be a magic tool called a Stove.
The Hyena’s Magic Stone seems to be excellent as its power source.
I hear it’s so good that it’s expensive.
In the future, we plan to collect and analyze magic tools as well.
