"While One piece is a masterpiece, you start to get a bit bored after crying on the sa parts for the twentieth ti," Sakaki said. "As such, I decided to compile all my knowledge and as much information I could from the facility over the years, that was easy thanks to electric magic."
Sakaki's explanation continued, delving into the intricacies of his ability to "download" information through electric magic. He explained that this skill, honed over tens of thousands of years, required an extraordinary level of proficiency with manipulating electrical signals.
Rain was fascinated by the concept, expressed a desire to learn this skill. However, Sakaki made it clear that mastering such a complex ability would be a gradual process, demanding a profound understanding of electric magic and a strong connection with the flow of information. Despite the challenges ahead, Rain was determined to embark on the journey of acquiring this unique and powerful skill.
"I guess this explains that whole thing about receiving the data of the past," Rain said while nodding.
"I didn't get half of what you two said, anyway, can't we get so resources from those rings?" Esralda asked. "We can make people improve their forging skills by purifying ores as well."
"We don't have to do that now when we just started to teach them the basics," Rain said.
"Are you sure? When are we going to find such opportunities like this again?" Esralda asked.
"Explain it, Sakaki-wagon," Rain said.
"Asteroids are rich in tals such as iron, nickel, and platinum. These tals could be mined and used for construction and manufacturing in space," Sakaki said. "So asteroids and cots contain water ice.
Water is crucial for sustaining human life as you knwo, and it can also be broken down into hydrogen and oxygen for rocket fuel… Helium-3 is a rare isotope of helium that is thought to be abundant on the moon. It is of interest for potential use in nuclear fusion reactions, which could provide a clean and abundant source of energy…"
"You are really reading a wikipedia page…" Rain furrowed his eyebrows.
"I just had this idea, if you take out the mass of the center of the vessel and fill it with helium, you could decrease the mass and improve the efficiency of the mana used and our speed as well," Sakaki explained. "This would beco very useful the more the vessel expands."
"I don't feel very safe knowing that the interior of the vessel is made of a gas," Rain said while furrowing his eyebrows.
"Helium is not explosive. Helium is a noble gas, and noble gases, in general, are chemically inert and do not readily undergo chemical reactions under normal conditions." Sakaki said. "Helium is non-flammable, odorless, and colorless. Unlike so other gases, such as hydrogen, which can be explosive when mixed with air and ignited, helium does not support combustion.
Helium is also not toxic, making it a safe gas for various applications. While you will use more mana to create it if compared to plain dirt, it would be very cost efficient in a matter of weeks."
That seed like a solution to the problem of speed… but would their traveling speed beco stable as it is now? Their only option was to test that and see what happens…
While they investigate Saturn, Rain worked on that as well, slowly taking out huge chunks of Earth and filling the void with helium. He only had to do that for now since as the vessel expanded, the surface would keep expanding using the land that they had while only the core would increase with its composition made of that.
"I wished that there was a useful tal sowhere that can be all purpose like Vibranium," Rain thought.
It took one week for them to check the whole planet and as expected, the dragon god didn't leave any traces behind… so people felt relieved since it was a sign that he hadn't been there in quite a while, but others felt bothered. For them, the dragon god was the enemy that changed the whole world forever and they had to deal with him in the near future… the sooner the better.
"I wanted to explore this place from a closer range, but I guess we don't have ti for this," Esralda said. "Do we already have the course ready for the next destination?"
"Yes, no problem," Rain said. "It will take two weeks ro reach Uranus, though."
"Uranus… why the na of all planets are so different?" Esralda asked.
"Because the planets in our solar system are nad after ancient Roman deities, with the exception of Earth. The tradition of naming planets after gods and goddesses dates back to ancient tis when people observed the motion of these celestial bodies across the night sky," Rain said.
"You learned a lot from the relics, huh?" Esralda asked. "Can we learn anything else about the far past that can co in handy for us?"
"Ehh… I will talk with them and see what we can do," Rain said. "But why worry about a magicless story when you can live and do things like magic and then say: it is wizardry, I ain't explaining shit."
"I don't get your sense of humor," Esralda said while scratching her cheek. "Well, I know that you are busy, so don't focus too much on it."
"It must be exhausting to hide such an important detail about yur life from your friends and family," Vanessa said.
"Sakaki, did you notice any differences so far?" Rain asked while ignoring Vanessa's words since he knew that any other option would be too annoying.
"You already decreased the massa of the vessel equally to one hundred cubic ters, which before was 160 tons, and now the sa space weights almost eighteen kilomgrams instead," Sakaki said. "Thanks to that, the speed of the vessel increased by 1.85%. I daresay that this was a huge success. We didn't lose stability either."
