Chapter 35 mana coreThe trial use of weapons using mana cores was very successful.
We used weapons that were already developed by several teams, and the evaluation of the special task force was ‘extremely’ effective just looking at the filmed video.
It was a monster that could only be killed by consuming a single magazine, but it was killed by punching a hole with one burst of three.
“This is a really great performance. It’s very special, isn’t it? There was no real difference in power.”
Major Kim Moo-seong asked while watching the video.
“This is an effect that is possible because it can penetrate the monster’s magical field. But it’s a pity we can’t mass-produce it yet.”
There were not enough magic crystals, there was no equipment to process them into crystals of mana, and there was no production facility to craft them into mana cores.
We had no choice but to produce in small quantities as if made to order.
“Which gun is better, K2 or K7?”
“The K7 is comfortable to use in dungeons. You don’t need long-range shooting. Also, since you don’t know the internal environment, wouldn’t it be better to make both? I’d rather stop the K4 high-speed grenade machine gun. The power is great, but it is too inconvenient to carry out the operation. A K201 grenade launcher would suffice.”
Choi So-hee is a person who only develops. I think it’s good if it’s strong, but the people who use it in the field seem to have a different opinion.
“How about Barrett?”
“Hmmm… this is a weapon that cannot be used by our task force. But the power is beyond imagination.”
He fired a rifle and even a grenade to pierce an intact egg with one shot of Barrett.
Even though it was a sniper rifle, it was incredibly powerful.
It may be necessary, but it’s difficult for a task force to use it on the shoulder. too inefficient
“Then I will have to make a custom order and remodel it. He said he could use the Hunter’s magic, so he could amplify his power.”
“Oh, isn’t that a good thing then? If a hunter uses a rifle, it will be quite effective.”
“First of all, there must be very few hunters who can use magic that way, and it is said that concentration of magic is necessary. It’s impossible to use a rifle that way.”
“Then it would be better to focus on the development of K2C, K7, and K201. As for Barrett, there’s only one person who can use it anyway, so I think it would be right to order it personally.”
Director Park Woo-jae made the conclusion.
First of all, Barrett is very expensive.
K2C is about 1 million won and K7 is 2.8 million won, but Barrett’s is over 10 million won.
If it had been Yoon Tae-sung too, he would have been very angry because the gun broke. For mercenaries and hunters, money was the price of their lives.
“Why don’t Tae-Sung Yoon take part in half of the development of the mana core and order it for experimentation?”
Anyway, the most important thing was the mana core, and Yoon Tae-seong’s stake was half.
“If it’s not his ability anyway, it’s very difficult to research the things that come out of the dungeon. Even the shell that I brought this time, maybe after a year, I won’t be able to get it even for a billion dollars.”
The shell was really important research material.
The runes that recorded the structure of the dungeon usually disappear along with the dungeon, but because it was recorded in the shell, Tae-seong Yoon took it.
It is a more precious material than the magic stone.
10 billion?
Even if you give me 100 million, I can’t save it.
In fact, after one year, even a first-grade magic crystal alone is worth about 1 billion won. Unlike skill books and items, there are many large corporations who want to obtain Magic Stones.
“It’s… that’s it.”
Director Park Woo-jae, who was worried, also agreed with Choi So-hee.
A patent has already been registered under the names of Choi So-hee and Yoon Tae-seong. And Choi So-hee is just going to reveal the technology.
The state was against it. Because this was a very important skill for the country.
It’s useless to him anyway, and Choi’s research results are also helpful to him.
The shell of the egg was handed over to her, and now, Tae-seong Yoon wrote and translated the complex runes engraved on the shell.
‘Wow, this is really complicated.’
Of course, the amount of runes is quite large, but the structure of the runes is more of a problem than that.
The structure was so complex that it was difficult to translate. There were times when translation was impossible in some parts.
‘How the hell was the structure of the runes that I couldn’t understand?’
The door to the lab opened and Choi So-hee came in with two cups of coffee.
“The story ended well. By the way, I had no idea that Barrett was made in the United States.”
“As time passed, a hunter who recognized magical powers must have appeared. If that is possible, an anti-ship sniper rifle is a better weapon for a hunter to use than you might think. However, the structure of the runes engraved on this shell is too complicated. I can’t even understand it.”
“I don’t understand the dungeon itself, so I think it’s probably natural.”
Choi Choi-hee seemed unable to uncover the secrets of the dungeon even after lifelong research.
Before that, Korea will disappear from the 9th grade dungeon, and mankind on Earth will also become extinct.
“If the video goes up, the US military company will be the first to get it. The core of all developed products is the mana core, and your name has been registered in the patent. I personally want to disclose everything, but the government doesn’t want that, so I have no choice.”
“It’s not a big deal as we only have to pay a license fee and hand over the technology anyway, but I don’t know if I will be able to understand and research properly.”
The secret that Tae-seong Yoon and Choi So-hee struggle the most, and the secret they share is that in 15 years, humanity will be destroyed by the dungeon.
To prevent that, humanity must advance as quickly as possible.
Hunter’s abilities are more difficult to develop than at that time. Because that’s the power you can get by attacking the dungeon anyway.
So we have to put our hopes on the development of human technology.
“So, I plan to include the research data of runes in the mana core license. What do you think?”
“That’s not a bad idea. If you study with collective intelligence, the technology will advance faster.”
If technology develops faster, Tae-Sung Yoon also agrees.
“Only on condition that they also share the results of their research.”
“Yes. It would be difficult if I just swallowed my research data.”
For continuous development, it was the best way to disclose and share research data with each other.
However, I do not know if the Korean government will allow this.
Lazy agency also edited and uploaded two videos.
This is a video by Tae-Sung Yoon and Si-Hwan Kim, both using artifacts.
In addition, several teams’ dungeon attack videos were uploaded.
The technology announcement of the Central Research Institute of the Dungeon Management Agency in Korea has already attracted the attention of the world, and this trial use shows that it is a very positive result.
Of course, the Pentagon in the United States was also very interested.
“Mana Core! This is the skill we need. With that alone, the Pentagon can wipe out the dungeon!”
“Look, Chief of Staff! That’s a weapon crafted by processing magic crystals. It is a product with a fixed quantity to be produced.”
“Barrett’s power is incredible.”
“I’ve already announced in Korea that that’s a weapon that a special hunter can use.”
“We have registered a patent for the technology of mana core, and it is said that the license includes research data. The only condition is that we share our research.”
“Why don’t you bring something in advance and analyze it?”
“The Pentagon’s Defense Research Institute will soon have good results. Even if Korea’s technology advances a lot, can it be compared with the U.S. defense technology? Sharing research is rather at a loss for us.”
“In conclusion, no research results have been reported anywhere in the US or Europe. However, Korea has already developed such a technology, so I think it is beneficial to share research. Dungeons are a global threat! We must have a sense of human community.”
Everyone had different opinions.
“Irrespective of the government’s decision, our company will make a license agreement. To be honest, we don’t even know how it works or how it works when it comes to mana cores. It is difficult to respond properly by simply producing. They hand over the technology, and there is absolutely no reason to object.”
Share your research?
Given the current situation, it can be expected that the level of research in Korea will develop the fastest.
Therefore, it is advantageous to start research and development first.
“It is the same with us. It is advantageous to start development before other countries.”
Although the Pentagon had different opinions, the military companies had a different opinion.
Most of them were in favor of the license agreement proposed in Korea.
“Even the Pentagon will have to admit the failure of its strategy. The power of the army alone cannot stop the explosion of the dungeon.”
The defense secretary was impressed with the words of the CIA director.
“How about accepting Korea’s policy? Currently, there is no country that blocks dungeons as well as Korea. Germany is already mimicking Korea’s policy and improving its system.”
Germany was the second country to establish the Dungeon Management Bureau after Korea.
In fact, if you look at several developed countries, there was no country that prevented the explosion of dungeons as exemplary as Korea.
It was a foolish waste of manpower, energy, and materials to move military forces like the United States to attack the dungeon.
How many more have died?
Still, the dungeon explodes, the monsters attack the citizens, and the army moves to kill those monsters.
It really was a huge waste of national power.
[Korea provides research data on mana core from a humanitarian perspective!]
[Korea and Indonesia signed a technology agreement for mana core license!]
[Korea, India and Mana core license technology agreement signed!]
Surprisingly, the request for a license from developing or underdeveloped countries was faster than that of developed countries.
The president accepted Choi’s request.
It was judged that it was helpful for the status of the nation, and that this situation was a global threat that all mankind should cooperate with.
Also, personally, this is the greatest achievement for the president.
The technology was developed by Choi So-hee and Yoon Tae-seong, but it was the president who prepared the table with this technology.
‘I think Cure has understood all of this properly.’
I read and understood the research data of Cure received by Choi So-hee. There was also the structure of the rune language that was a bit difficult, but he had fully understood the first-class heal.
‘You’ll know when you use it.’
I tried to use the 2nd level skill cure arbitrarily rather than a skill.
It gives a divine feeling to the fingertips, and a translucent white power is created.
Cure.
Healing power can heal wounds.
But it won’t be a serious injury. I think it might be a bit like abrasions.
A 7th grade Great Heal must be a really great healing skill.
‘Healer is really struggling.’
Yoon Tae-seong was really lucky to use the magic skill of the devil, and by looking at his skill, you can see why the healer was disrespected in the beginning.
Totem crafting.
This is a pretty useful skill.
It’s not an advanced type like potion crafting, it’s gradeless.
However, the method of making it is a little more difficult than a potion.
For potions, you can use a skill by putting a magic crystal in a liquid, and this requires fusion of liquid, gold, and magic crystal.
A golden liquid is formed.
This was the skill of making a totem.
The reason it’s unrated is because it doesn’t require a grade. It just creates objects that craft totems.
I had to use this to make a totem, but there was no way to do it.
This is a magical skill.
‘Will I make a totem if I write something in runes?’
Just because it’s liquid doesn’t mean you drink it like a potion. If you look at using a totem, it’s because it’s a variety of tools.
Since it was a tool engraved with runes, it seemed right to make a totem by engraving the runes with this liquid.
‘Gold is expensive. Do you want to stay in the lab?’
I’m going to try an experiment in the central lab.
Gold goes into making mana cores, so I think there must be some gold in the lab.
