"It's said you've been working on a countermeasure device for AMF lately?"

At the headquarters of the Wizarding Academy, in the Dean's office, Lieutenant General Brewster called Kamiyu and asked

"Yes, Minister." Although he wondered why the head of the school would call him to inquire about it, Kamiyu still replied.

"Did you find anything?"

"It's terrible."

"Huh? How so? Lieutenant General Brest asked with interest

"At this stage, the discovery of AMF-equipped Pioneers is actually not a big problem. The AMF shield layer alone has a lot of flaws, as long as the reports of these flaws are sorted out and sent to the teaching team and the main bureau, and then the magicians are trained specifically for these flaws, it can be effectively solved.

However, the Pioneers we've found now are only equipped with this small AMF shield layer, and I remember someone making a metaphor for that; Combat armament is like squeezing toothpaste, and until the enemy can't find a way to crack their own armament, even if they already have more advanced techniques, they will never equip it. Therefore, the other side also thinks that the current level of equipment is enough to deal with this possibility of the Authority.

In this way, our way of acting is too passive, while we find the shortcomings of the other party and strike at them, the other party is also improving and developing their own shortcomings, and so on, the result will only be that every discovery we make will be accompanied by a lot of blood.

From the AMF generator techniques we have analyzed, it can be seen that the makers of these developers already have the technical ability to expand the AMF realm into a wide area realm. There are two reasons why this type of developer has not been found so far.

The first is that, as I just said, the equipment of war weapons is like squeezing toothpaste, and the other side does not want to expose the hole cards so early before we come up with an effective plan.

Second, he still has a key technical problem that has not been solved. ”

"Oh? What is the key technical issue? Let's talk about it. ”

"The key technical problem is in the energy device!" Kamiyu replied after a moment's thought

"You're saying that the energy of the wide-area AMF realm is generated, and the energy core of the Pioneer is not enough to sustain it?" Lieutenant General Brewster, a scientist, immediately understood.

"Yes, this high-end realm magic like AMF is originally very energy-intensive. According to our calculations, the energy required to maintain the wide-area AMF boundary for a long time can range from AAA to S depending on the concentration of AMF in the boundary. Their solution was to develop new energy sources and expand the size of the Pioneer several times. ”

"Looks like you already have a solution?" When Brewster noticed that Kamiyu was confident, he smiled slightly.

"Yes, yes, although we have found a way to neutralize the AMF realm, but like the other party's problem, we are stuck in the problem of energy and size." Kamiyu stroked his forehead helplessly and smiled bitterly

"Originally, I wanted to shrink the AMF jamming device to equip it for the Magus, but for now, it's going to take a long time. However, I now have an alternative idea, and it depends on whether the Minister of Education has the courage to propose it to the Ground Headquarters and the General Administration! ”

"So you've been beating my attention for a long time!" Brewster was a little embarrassed by Camillo's sudden suggestion.

"Let's talk about it!"

"Yes!" After hearing that his plan had a door, Kamiyu seemed a little excited.

"Since it's still a long way off for the shrinking equipment to be given to the Magi, we might as well take advantage of the full advantages of a large organization like the Authority."

"Oh?" Hearing Camillo say this, Brewster's eyebrows furrowed slightly, clearly interested.

"My plan is to fully point out the AMF jamming device."

"At present, as long as there is a special energy supply by the Authority, the performance of a single super-large AMF jamming device can have a minimum power radius of 5 kilometers, and the maximum power can reach a radius of 25 kilometers of spatial coverage.

All we have to do is to install this jamming device underground in a significant area of the whole Mead as a matter of priority. Then gradually radiate outward with Mead as the center, so that an all-round defense system can be formed in Mead and various dimensions. ”

[What an exciting thing it would be to be able to complete such a huge idea!] This thought made Kamiyu's eyebrows flutter unconsciously.

"So have you ever thought about the shortcomings of this plan and the difficulties in its implementation?"

This was a very bold plan, and the amount of manpower, materials, and money required was clear to anyone that it would be an astronomical amount, so although Lieutenant General Brewster was also very impressed, he had to be cautious.

"I've thought about this, although the cost of money is very large, but it is not an unacceptable figure for the Temporal Authority, and the energy provided to the jamming device is also a considerable problem, and it is not impossible to solve.

Because, we don't need to rush to complete it all at once, it's a long-term plan.

My idea is that it will take quite a while to install in the critical areas of the Authority, and then gradually to the lesser areas, and so on, so that the money that is evenly distributed each year can be said to be relatively insignificant. At the same time, the funds needed for construction in other worlds can be partially funded by the local administrative government, which can also reduce the financial burden of the Authority.

We can add a seeker (similar to the radar) to the jamming device and reserve space for possible retrofitting in the future, so that the jamming device can become both a monitoring point and provide support to the troops, and the problem of high energy consumption can be solved.

Also, why don't we add an AMF generator to the device? This can be used not only for the Hair Extensions, but also for the Crime Magiors! The chances of passing the plan will be much higher. ”

"So, how long do you estimate it will take to complete this plan?"

"If you fully cover the Mead realm, it will take at least 6 years, and after ensuring the safety of the mead, it will be built according to the situation of the other realms."

"Since you've thought about it so much, then hand over your plan to me the day after tomorrow!" After listening to Kamiyu's preliminary explanation, Minister Brewster breathed a sigh of relief.

"Also, remember to wear a military uniform to report next week, there are important meetings to attend!"

"An important meeting?" After thinking about it for a while, Kamiyu couldn't remember what important meeting would take place the day after tomorrow.

"Year-end presentation!" The head of the school spit out these words angrily

"Huh?!" Camillo was surprised to hear the word

"What's so good about the boring meetings that you can attend and don't attend at the year-end presentation? There are so many officials from the General Administration and the Ground Headquarters who are absent every year that there are few, and there are few of us, right? ”

"Hmph~~ All officers of the year-end statement have the right to observe, although there are indeed too many people to be absent every year, but most of these people are just ordinary captains or captains, have you ever seen any department with real power absent?" The Dean sneered

"Well~~~ I don't think I've seen it before!" Kamiyu thought about it for a moment before hesitantly replying

"Of course, the year-end presentation is related to the budget allocation of each department of the Authority for the coming year."

"Really? Why have you never heard of this? ”

"What do you think the statement is going to do? If there are departments that are unable to produce satisfactory results in the briefing, they should wait for the budget to be cut next year. The dean clasped his hands and gritted his teeth.

[No wonder the recent professors are in a hurry, and their eyebrows are full of 'murderous' ah~~] Kamiyu's face, who finally understood, twitched slightly involuntarily.

"Your plan is very good, as long as it is handled properly, this will be the killer weapon of our Wizarding Department for the next few years. Kamiyu! Remember to behave well, if we are cut in the budget, I will deduct as much of your research funds as you will be cut by then, and if it is not enough for the next year, I will deduct it for the next year until the deduction is exhausted! The head of the school braved the terrifying black air, and his face was dark, threatening Kamiyu.

[What will it be me~~] Kamiyu's forehead is already full of cold sweat

"So, do you understand!?"

"Yes, yes! I get it! ”

Two days have passed in a flash, and the day of the year-end statement has finally arrived!

The capital of Midcherda, Granagon. Ground Headquarters Headquarters Building

The long road leading to the headquarters building on the ground level was already lined with reporters, and the flash of the camera flashed incessantly at the Authority General and the officers of the headquarters as they walked into the building. In order to prevent the 'enthusiastic' journalists from blocking the road, the Authority had to send a large number of wand-wielding Lu soldiers to stop on both sides of the street.

"With less than three hours to go before the opening of the year-end public opinion presentation, representatives from the Directorate General and various circles will exchange views on the operation of the Midcherda Ground Authority, which is often hotly debated at the meeting," the hosts of various television stations commented to the cameras

[If they know that the reason for the heated argument is actually for the budget for the coming year, I don't know what the expression of the road will be! Kamiyu, who was walking towards the building with the dean, a group of professors and assistants, looked up at the report in the open-air video hanging on the building, and began to smile bitterly.

According to the latest news from the recent news, the most eye-catching topic this time was the youngest associate professor in the Department of Magic, who was less than 14 years old. Although the specific plan for the 'Nibelungen' defense proposed by Brigadier General Halowin has not been revealed much by the Authority, it has been discussed by all sides."

[Does the minister need to be so loud? For the sake of the budget, you have hurt me this time! Hearing this paragraph, the smile on Kamiyu's face became even more bitter!

"Ah~~ The members of the Magic School have arrived at the venue!" The host in the video said excitedly, and at the same time, the camera lens also turned to the other direction along the host's face, and in the distance, a group of officers in white military uniforms appeared on the camera.

At this time, Kamiyu realized that he had unconsciously arrived on the long road in front of the building with everyone.

The appearance of the Department of Magic has to be said to be very eye-catching, more than 20 (because the professors and associate professors of the Department of Magic are not satisfied.) Maverick generals in white military uniforms were present, and the glittering purple and gold flowers on their collar badges overshadowed the scattered officers of the other departments. It's no wonder that the group of people in front of them alone accounts for nearly one-tenth of the number of Authority generals.

"The Debroeil teacher (because it's rude to call an associate professor out of purpose, so the Wizarding Department uses teachers to call each other.) Was the appearance of the Wizarding Department so arrogant before? Camillo covered his face with his hand and asked Debroyi in a low voice beside him

"Well~~ In the past, everyone came by themselves one after another, but this time it is said that something happened, so the school minister's arrangement may be for demonstration."

That's when it happened

The Minister of Brewery gathered the professor's assistants behind him and said loudly, ignoring the attention of the onlookers

"Cheer me up! Remember, our target this time is 13.7 trillion! ”

"Oh~~" The assistants responded loudly, and Kamiyu suddenly found the figure of his assistant Wande, only to see these assistants shouting loudly like baseball cheerleaders under the leadership of one person

"We are the 'souls' of the Wizarding Division!!"

“Fight！！”

[Please, please take a look at the occasion, Teacher!] You've lost the face of the Wizarding Division! 】

Kamiyu couldn't help but cover his face with his hands and dodged from afar. And there are not a few professors and associate professors who have the same behavior as Kamiyu.

suddenly

"Kamiyu-chan! Over here!! At the main entrance, Lindy, who was wearing a major general's dress and long green hair tied up high, waved her hand excitedly to this side, and Camillo, who was also quite happy to see Lindy, unexpectedly found that Lindy was standing next to a girl wearing the general's dress of the Authority and long blond hair - Karim

"Associate Professor Kamiyu, could you please talk more about this topic?"

Lindy's shouts attracted a large crowd of reporters, and the wolf-like reporters began to storm the human wall formed by the Lu Shi, as if they wanted to swallow Kamiyu

"It's really scary~~ Fortunately, I ran fast." Kamiyu, who ran into the venue as if running for his life, said with a happy face

"By the way, why would Mom be with Karim?"

"This~~ Because I met Lu by chance, everyone was alone, so we got together!"

"Actually, mother, you don't need to come, as long as the people from the General Administration are unnecessary, they generally don't want to participate, so it doesn't matter if you come or not, not to mention that this meeting is extremely boring, even if you have to keep looking at Justin's arrogant and ugly face, this is a punishment comparable to ancient torture!" Camillo's face was full of disdain when he talked about Lieutenant General Justin, the commander-in-chief of the ground headquarters.

"Well~~ don't worry, you won't have to accept such a punishment in the future!" Karim covered her mouth with one hand and chuckled to pick up the conversation.

"For what? Could it be that that guy was damned? Or did you unfortunately do something inappropriate and stepped down? ”

"Sa~~ Who knows? But I think maybe you'll miss him then. ”

"How is that possible! Is there anything worse than seeing him all the time? But you would say that, do you know what the Holy King's Church knows? Camillo thought that Karim might know something he didn't know, and he was reminded of Debroyi's words

"Well~~ You'll know the way when the time comes!" Giving Kamiyu a mysterious smile, Karim turned and walked into the conference room.

After the start of the meeting

Camillo did not find Lieutenant General Justin, who was supposed to be one of the protagonists, in the conference hall. The first to come to the rostrum of the hall was a strange major general

"Lieutenant General Justin has already submitted his retirement application a few days ago due to his age and physical condition, and at the same time his application has been accepted by the Supreme Council"

The Major General's words caused a lot of discussion in the hall, obviously, this decision was very abrupt, and the vast majority of people present were not at a loss.

"It's a pity that we can't practice for this upright, kind, respectable, and diligent warrior who has worked diligently all his life for the peace and stability of the dimensional world - Lieutenant General Justin"

[Are you sure you're talking about the stupid, talkative, power-grabbing, old bastard who squandered the lives of his soldiers, and not anyone else?] Listening to the major general reading the farewell message for Justin, Kamiyu couldn't help but sneer in his heart

Just as he was already dozing off, a burly figure stepped up to the rostrum, with a square head, a beard like a lion's mane, a resolute face, and a tough guy look.

A look of surprise crept up Camillo's face.

"Now, then, let us welcome the new Commander-in-Chief of the Ground Headquarters, Regias. Lieutenant General Gaz! ”

'Smack! Kamiyu hung his head and slapped himself in the face. At the same time, many officers of the General Bureau and the Department of Magical Wizarding accidentally squirted out the water that had been halfway drunk, and then began to cough violently.

[Spare me~~ I haven't had time to rejoice that the old bastard who is full of big words has stepped down, and now he has been replaced by this tough guy uncle who likes hypocrisy and arrogance. Do you want me to salute him when I see him in the future?! Karim, you're right, I'm missing Justin a little bit right now! 】

Exegesis; The U.S. 07 research budget is $137 billion, and the Temporal Authority is a large organization that manages at least a few hundred dimensions, and considering that, the Department of Wizarding is not Mead's only research institution. So I think multiplying 100 on top of U.S. research funding is enough.

Although the monetary value of the yen is used in the anime, the number is too large to be used to calculate the financial situation.
