From Space Idiot to Professor

44 – Oh, yes, brother (1)

[The development of gravity bombs is largely divided into four stages.]

[1. [Discovery of the graviton]

[2. [Understanding the gravitational field-ether theory]

[3. Production of a container capable of containing a bomb and a dedicated detonator]

[4. Test launch]

Reading a paper written by a foreign journalist. It feels different.

Still, it is written in an easy-to-understand manner. Should we really say that he is the god of wisdom and curiosity?

[— The ‘God of Wisdom and Curiosity’ is proud of your evaluation.]

Anyway.

[The first step is the discovery of the graviton.]

This is a difficult topic from the beginning.

The era when warp technology was commercialized. Even in this era, gravitons were not discovered.

What did physicists do when space civilization developed and they couldn’t even discover a single gravitational particle? You could ask:

To conclude, I can’t do it because I don’t have money.

The cost of running a particle accelerator can provide three meals a day to children in Africa.

But the only people screaming that they discovered the Higgs boson were science perverts.

Even if I found it, it would be of no use to anyone! They only eat up money!

This is the hardship experienced by those who do basic science.

[There is one tip when discovering gravitons. This is to deposit ‘black spheres’ on experimental equipment.]

[‘Black Spear’ is an incarnated egg created by a foreign agent of Maxwell’s army. It looks black and round.]

[It has the property of accelerating supersymmetric particles. Design an accelerator with this property in mind. You will be able to save costs.]

“Oh….”

I cried out in joy.

The incarnation we encountered belongs to Maxwell.

In other words, a foreign media affiliated with Maxwell is aiming to encroach on Stellarium.

There are probably black spheres spread all over the planet.

I rather like it.

Change crisis into opportunity.

Let’s find all the black spheres before they ‘hatch’ and turn them into unfertilized eggs.

But how do you find it?

[Reminder: Use the Caliper of Wisdom to find out]

Now that I think about it, there was a caliper.

Cartesia’s caliper has two functions.

One is combat.

The other is measuring.

It is up to you to decide what to measure.

[Measurement target: Black Spear / Measurement distance: 8.23M]

I set it up without much expectation, but there was one nearby.

The front of the cave is an empty plain.

I turned my head and looked back.

“What’s inside the cave?”

Zernia asked.

“I think so.”

The inside of the deep cave, like a snake’s stomach, is so dark that you can’t see an inch in front of you.

I need something like a torch.

I can’t help it.

I started the bonfire using a caliper as a skewer. A burning tumbleweed got caught in the caliper blade. I rolled it up and made it like cotton candy.

“What are you doing?”

“Fireball.”

[“…… ?”]

[— The ‘God of Wisdom and Curiosity’ is greatly embarrassed.]

I learned one more new function of calipers.

It’s perfect to use as a torch.

[— ‘The God of Wisdom and Curiosity’ cries out.]

Cartesia, the calipers you gave me were awesome.

The material was obviously iron, but the handle did not get hot, possibly because of its low thermal conductivity. I smiled happily and stepped into the cave. Adjutant Zernia, full of curiosity, followed me.

I walked carrying a torch and driving away the darkness.

[Measurement distance: 1.34M]

I can see it.

In the darkness, there was a sphere that ‘shined’ blacker than the darkness.

Should I say it looks like a pure white black person?

I was curious about the composition of that object for a moment, but I quickly shook my head.

Condensed matter is not my specialty. It wasn’t an urgent research topic.

Let’s get another friend to go to graduate school and do research on that later.

Hmm, that would be good. That’s division of labor.

I took one step closer, and only then did I become convinced that the fist-sized jewel in front of me was a Black Spear.

You’re lucky.

I picked up the Black Spear that was stuck in the corner and showed it to Zernia.

“What? Black pearl? “It’s pretty.”

“You can’t touch it.”

I quickly pulled it back before Zernia’s hand could reach it. The child was almost consumed by madness.

“It’s petty.”

Zernya clicked her tongue. Tsk.

Come to think of it, there was a setting that Zernia had a hobby of collecting precious metals and stones of rare colors.

Some people are excited about jewelry because they think she might be the daughter of a prestigious family.

“Hey, shine a torch.”

Zernia ordered me. She looked around the cave floor to find another black pearl.

“…… “There is none.”

Unfortunately, that was all I got.

Zernia clicks her tongue once again.

The reason I signed a contract with Zernyagya Foreign Media is because of this hobby. How can I resist looking at such a shiny, amazing stone?

Wait a minute.

Perhaps you can use this personality to attract people as colleagues.

“It’s not like it wears out, right? “Please show me.”

“Do you want to touch it?”

“Did you sprain your ear?”

She looked up at me, frowning.

If you use a caliper here, you can get the following results.

Figure 1. Zernia’s height is 155cm.

Figure 2. Idel’s height is 180cm.

Figure 3. Eidel’s height with the black pearl, approximately 175cm.

“… ….”

Zernia casted ‘Hug me’!

Gernya holding up her tiptoes and stretching out her hands. The sight of her bouncing around is very cute.

Frustrated by her soon-to-be height gap, the Zernia child returned to her seat, slumping her shoulders.

She said, “It’s done. “What have I done?”

I taunted at the right time.

“I’ll give it to you if you beat me in the midterms.”

Swift, Zernia looks back again. Her eyes were sparkling like burning comets.

“Really?”

“Really.”

“There is no softness.”

Zernia smiles bitterly. I bit my lip desperately to suppress laughter.

Meanwhile, Rustila had her legs together, her head buried, and was making strange moans.

“Ugh….”

Why is he acting like that again?

I wanted to understand his psychological state, but unfortunately there were no prons left. I am broke because I have to pay the thesis reading fee.

“… Hmm.”

Zernya, who had been glancing at Rustila, leaned against her wall and closed her eyes.

Yes, you both must be tired.

Let’s give him a little rest.

We can’t go through the storm now anyway. I lost my electronic device and can’t contact the school.

I feel sorry for my younger brother who is waiting, but I think I will have to sleep here today.

“Hey.”

“Why?”

“Aren’t you sleeping?”

Oh, that’s right.

Of course I don’t sleep.

You have to read the paper.

***

Zernya, looking at the burning bonfire, bit her lip.

Thump, thump, thump.

The heart sound can be heard clearly.

It started right after I woke up in the cave and has been like this ever since.

Hypothermia? Arrhythmia?

It may be simple palpitations or pulsatile tinnitus.

Why did this symptom occur in someone who usually works out hard and eats three meals a day?

Even if I mobilize all my medical knowledge, I still don’t know.

Zernya suddenly looked at Eidel.

Idel stared into space, wondering what was so funny, and occasionally smiled an eerie smile or giggled.

All I could think was that he was crazy.

But Chief.

This is an opponent that must be overcome.

If you think about it, your heart may be pounding because of that guy.

Yes, it is an inferiority complex.

Because Idel is the senior. Because she is second in command.

I cannot easily admit that fact, so I am so angry that I cannot bear it.

‘I said I would give you the black pearl if you won the midterm exam.’

Zernia loved gems, and her knowledge of minerals was so deep that she even earned a jewelry master’s license.

The black pearl that Idel picked up was clearly of great value.

It will feel great to add it to your collection.

‘I will definitely win.’

The corners of Zernia’s mouth drew an arc.

***

What is important is a heart that can be broken. The teachers carried out their duties steadily despite their mental breakdown.

Counting the dead and searching for the missing.

Around 10 p.M. Abnormal weather occurred. It rained all night long.

We launched a rocket to reduce precipitation, but it was not enough.

“It’s the foreign media’s doing. It’s the work of foreign media….”

Seti muttered.

Kendra, the homeroom teacher, gently placed her hand on Seti’s shoulder and spoke.

“Seti, it’ll be okay.”

“Teacher….”

“Not even a day has passed yet. “I’m sure everyone will be alive.”

A life born through contract marriage. She had no one who loved her or was close to her.

Meanwhile, Seti did not want to lose the friend she had gained, Lu Stila.

Besides, it was the same for Idel.

Almost all of the sediment from the past has been washed away. Rather than the hatred of the past few years, I wanted to remember the kindness of the past few months.

Even an older brother like that dies.

It’s scary to even imagine.

“Here’s a report. “We found traces of strangely damaged forest 1km north-northwest from the clearing where the monster appeared.”

Kendra stood up and asked.

“Is this the place the monster passed by?”

“The road itself was greatly damaged due to the sudden heavy rain, but it is almost certain if you listen to the testimonies of students and prosecutors.”

“Are you searching?”

“Yes. There was a cliff about 50 meters high at the end. I didn’t dare go down because the fog was thick and there was a risk of landslides… Instead, I found this.”

The search party took out a plasma sword covered in dirt and moss.

“Ah….”

Seti’s pupils twitched slightly.

“As a result of the investigation, an ether reaction was detected in student Rustilla Kersil.”

Seti slipped and fell from her chair.

“Seti? Seti! Don’t lose your mind! Hey, didn’t you see what was under that cliff? “For example, there is a lake!”

“It was very difficult to secure visibility due to the heavy rain. “I don’t think it will be possible to navigate under the cliffs unless the rain stops or we get better equipment.”

Impossible.

This is the word that Seti hates the most.

If it’s impossible, shouldn’t it be changed to make it possible?

The rescue worker’s tone of voice, speaking only in a business-like manner without any emotional disturbance, felt abominable.

“Sister, brother… ….”

Rustilla. She followed it ever since she was young. She likes

Idel. Finally, finally, I started liking it again.

So please, please come back.

Time passes. The rain gradually becomes thinner. Crews launched three helicopters.

When dawn broke, the waiting room was empty. Seti wiped her face, then curled up, sighed, and then….

I am hungry and even sleepy. She still couldn’t fall asleep.

How much time was lost like that?

When she came to her senses, there was something in front of her nose.

It was a golden, shining stone.

It had a distorted and distorted shape. It did not seem to be an ordinary mineral.

That is not important now.

Why did something like this suddenly appear in front of her?

Seti retreated slowly, wary of the stone. The next moment, her giggling voice played in her head.

Someone in my heart shouted. Give me that stone right away. Then they can confirm whether her older sister or brother is alive or dead.

The voice was as soft and sweet as cotton candy, and finally Seti slowly stretched out his hand.

And then, the door to the waiting room opened and three people came in.
