Chapter 349 Strengthening Projec (1/2)
t
May 19th, night time.
On the following day, Jin had promised Reinhart that he would return to Shouro empire.
Jin was having a discussion with Laojun, An, and Reiko in Hourai island. The topic of the discussion was a strengthening project for the Hourai island force to fend off demons, if such a situation were to occur in the future.
“First, let’s get things done from the list of things which can be completed immediately.”
Jin’s words reverberated.
“You said that stealth was seen through, right?”
[Yes. It is very likely that the wavelength of light the demons’ eyes can capture differ from that of humans.]
Stealth is a magic which makes one appear transparent by refracting the visible light rays and showing the viewer what’s behind.
This ‘visible light rays’ are relative to the vision organs. In case of humans, their eyes. And adding to that, demons can probably see ultra-violet rays as well.
They say that insects can see ultraviolet rays and a number of reptile species also have an organ which lets them detect infrared rays.
It is probably best to not think of the demons the way one would think of humans.
With this as base, they vastly increased stealth’s frequency band towards infrared and ultraviolet rays.
To differentiate this from ‘stealth’, Jin decided to call it ‘invisible’.
“Hmm, the result is good but then you can’t see anything, eh……”
After having generated the ‘invisible’ barrier for testing, that’s what Jin said at first.
Because it is warping the light altogether, no light is reaching the person inside the barrier either.
“Electromagnetic waves with longer wavelength…… microwaves, was it?”
He tried digging up some vague memories. If they make the wavelength smaller, there’s a risk of it becoming X-rays or gamma rays.
Jin felt like he remembered these microwaves were used for radars and so, after discussing with Laojun, he refined the strengthening project of the Hourai island force with Reiko being the first.
Jin himself made the improvements to Reiko and left the modifications of the others golems to Laojun as he didn’t have time.
One doesn’t even need to mention that with this the information gathering skills of Hourai island’s forces have increased.
[I will reorganize and restructure the Quintas.]
Laojun said.
Regulus, Deneb, Capella, Spica, and Mira. He will be increasing each of them by 10 and deploy them to Shouro empire and Leonard kingdom.
He also explained how he was planning to increase their power, as well, assuming there will be contact with the demons again.
They increased Reiko’s power output from 15% to 30% and also equipped her with armament which they normally didn’t as it would make her heavier than an average human.
They would fill up the loss in speed because of the weight increment by removing some flesh from her framework but that would normally just decrease her strength so they also decided to change the normal aluminium with 64 aluminium.
The advantage to this was that they could do it easily with just engineering magic, without the need to make it anew, as it is completed just by adding more aluminium and vanadium to the current aluminium.
He added armaments like lasers, stun weapons and barrier deployers.
“Yep, I think that’s good. Let’s go with that.”
Jin also agreed.

“All that’s left is……”
Jin was summarizing the things needed to be done later, in order.
First was Hourai island’s defense.
“If the demons were to think of crossing the ocean–”
The possibility of that happening is not negligible. They can probably run on water if they reduced their own weight with the gravity magic.
[On top of deploying the 3 completed aircraft carriers, we should also complete the sea army.]
“Right. Even if they are demons, they are still living beings. They should have difficulty dealing with a naval attack.”
Jin was thinking of creating a submarine squad.
If golems were the only ones riding it, they wouldn’t need food or oxygen so the structure could be made very simple.
“Let’s make it from 10 meters to about 20 meters.”
[Understood.]
Following Jin’s base instructions for the submarine, Laojun proceeded with the plan to make a submarine squad.
Of course, it would also be better if they increased their on-water forces.
I would like a military vessel with good maneuverability.”
They also inserted a 40 meter long high speed military vessel into their project.
And with all of this, they also planned on reinforcing the golem squads of the land, air and sea.
Sky, Land, Marine, Mermaid–they increased the numbers of each of those from 100 to 200.
This can all be done by Laojun alone (of course, by having Smith do the work).
And, they had also decided to develop an ether absorbing barrier.
Just as the name suggests, it will take in all the ether inside the barrier. It should be fatal to the demons.
That’s all for the defense project.
And then, Jin, Laojun, Reiko and An worked out the next strengthening projects.
“First, Reiko.”
First, he listed all the things Reiko was lacking and the features she wanted. Even if he wasn’t able to implement them straight away, he was thinking of doing them in the future.
Jin was also hoping to understand something from the Shouro empire’s alchemist.

Self repairing function
Fighting skills upgrade
Knowledge/Intelligence upgrade
Power up
Were the listed items.
He didn’t list the first one, self repairing function, on the long term project and implemented it immediately.
