Reincarnated with a Military System in Another World

Chapter 186: R&D in the Works



The R&D lab on Akarios Island was busy. The specialists, summoned by Vincent, gathered around to start working on the dwarven minerals that had arrived. The place was full of machines buzzing and blinking as they were set up to study the minerals. Vincent had assembled the best people, and now they were ready to analyze what could help them win the fight against the Demon King's army.

Professor Linnaea Fairweather stood in the middle of the lab, looking at various screens showing data about the minerals. She had a focused look as she began typing commands into a virtual keyboard, pulling up more information about the samples.

"Let's start with Vorithium," Linnaea said. "We need a full analysis. I know it's heat- resistant, but we need to know exactly why."

The team went into action. They moved the Vorithium sample onto a mechanical arm that transferred it into a special chamber. The chamber glowed as it began analyzing the mineral's structure. Beams of light passed over the Vorithium, and machines began reading its atomic makeup.

Dr. Elias Hawke, a weapons engineer, was already busy designing ways to use the mineral in new weapons. He looked over the data from the analysis while creating virtual models of engines and armor.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"This is amazing," Hawke said, looking at the information. "It's tough but light, and it can take a lot of heat. We could use this in armor and even weapons that need to handle high temperatures."

Linnaea nodded. "It's perfect for military equipment. We can push our weapons and vehicles harder without them overheating or breaking. The fact that it's both strong and light makes it even better."

Dr. Miriam Carter, an elemental physicist, approached with a tablet in hand. "The first results show that Vorithium's molecular structure is stable even under extreme heat. We should be able to use it in places that need high resistance, like engines or protective gear."

"Good," Linnaea replied, scrolling through the data. "But let's test its strength under impact next. We need to know how it handles direct hits from heavy artillery."

The mechanical arm carefully placed the Vorithium sample into a new machine designed to test durability. The machine applied pressure and heat to the mineral, simulating conditions it might face in battle. Large screens in the lab showed real-time readings as the mineral endured the tests.

Meanwhile, other staff members worked on the Ferosium sample. This mineral was much denser and harder to handle, but its potential made it worth the effort.

"Ferosium is incredibly tough," one of the engineers said as they carefully placed a chunk of it into a high-powered cutting machine. "This could be a game-changer for our tanks and fortifications."

Dr. Hawke walked over to observe. "We'll need to see how easy it is to work with. If it's too hard to shape, it might not be practical for mass production, no matter how strong it is."

The machine began cutting through the Ferosium slowly, and data appeared on the screens showing the force needed to shape it. It was tough, but not impossible to work with. The engineers noted that it could be used for building things like tank armor or even structural supports in defensive buildings.

Vincent walked into the lab, checking in on their progress. "How's it going?"

"We're making good progress," Linnaea replied. "Vorithium looks promising for weapons and heat-resistant gear. Ferosium is much denser, so it'll be great for armor and

fortifications."

"Good," Vincent said. "We need results fast. The sooner we can use these minerals, the better prepared we'll be when the demons come after us again."

The next mineral on their list was Aetherium. This one was unique because it had magical properties. The team was careful as they brought it into a different section of the lab that was set up to handle materials with magic.

Dr. Carter, who specialized in elemental physics, took charge. "Aetherium is light and flexible, but it conducts magic. This could be useful in our communication devices or in enhancing our targeting systems."

They placed the Aetherium sample under a machine that measured its magical conductivity. Screens showed how well it absorbed and transmitted energy. As the data came in, the team realized they could use Aetherium to improve their long-range communication systems and even enhance certain weapons that required magical components.

"This could give us a huge edge," Carter said. "If we combine it with our existing tech, we'll be able to create systems that the demons won't see coming."

Finally, the team moved on to Gravinium, the rarest of the dwarven minerals. It had the ability to reduce the weight of whatever it was combined with. The team was eager to test its limits.

"This could revolutionize our vehicles," Linnaea said. "Imagine aircraft that are lighter but still strong, or heavy machinery that moves faster because of the reduced weight."

They set up a test where Gravinium was combined with various metals to see how much weight it could reduce. The results were impressive-large steel plates, normally difficult to move, became light enough to lift with one hand when mixed with the right amount of Gravinium.

After a full day of testing and analysis, the R&D team on Akarios Island was ready to present their findings to Vincent. The lab had been abuzz with activity, but now, as the results were compiled, the team gathered around a large table in the main briefing room. On the table were detailed reports, data sheets, and prototypes based on the minerals they had been studying. Professor Linnaea Fairweather stood at the head of the room, her tablet in hand. Beside her were Dr. Elias Hawke, Dr. Miriam Carter, and several other specialists, each ready to present their findings. Vincent entered, his usual serious demeanor in place as he prepared to review the results.

"Commander," Linnaea began, "we've completed the initial analysis of the dwarven minerals. Each one shows incredible potential in different areas of our operations. We've prepared a full report on their properties, potential uses, and recommendations for how we can start incorporating them into our technology."

Vincent nodded, signaling for them to proceed.

Linnaea gestured to the holographic projector in the center of the table. The lights dimmed, and the projector displayed a rotating image of the first mineral, Vorithium.

Vorithium: Properties and Applications

"Vorithium is our most promising find," Linnaea began. "It's heat-resistant, lightweight, and incredibly strong. Our tests show that it remains stable even under extreme conditions- whether it's high temperatures, direct impact, or pressure."

Dr. Hawke chimed in. "This makes it perfect for use in high-performance engines, aircraft, and armor. We're recommending that Vorithium be integrated into our next generation of fighter jet engines. It will allow us to push the engines harder without risk of overheating." He switched the display to show a digital blueprint of a jet engine with Vorithium components. "Using this in engines would increase efficiency by 25% and reduce the risk of heat-related breakdowns by 40%."

Linnaea continued, "Additionally, we suggest using Vorithium for protective gear. We've already started working on a prototype for armor that is both lighter and stronger than our current models. This could be deployed to our frontline troops within weeks."

Vincent studied the holograms, clearly impressed. "Good. What about durability under direct combat conditions?"

Hawke pulled up another image, showing the results of impact testing. "We subjected the Vorithium sample to artillery-level impacts, and it absorbed the hits without significant damage. It's tougher than anything we've used so far."

Vincent nodded, satisfied. "Excellent. Proceed with developing those prototypes."

The projector shifted to the next mineral, Ferosium.

Ferosium: Properties and Applications

"Ferosium is much denser," Dr. Carter explained. "It's incredibly durable but harder to work with. However, we've determined that with specialized cutting tools, it can be shaped into armor plating and structural supports. This would be ideal for fortifying our defensive positions and vehicles."

A hologram of a tank appeared, with armor plating reinforced by Ferosium. "Using Ferosium in our tanks would make them nearly indestructible," Hawke said. "The density of this metal means it can withstand direct hits from high-powered explosives without taking much

damage."

"Is it feasible for mass production?" Vincent asked.

"Yes," Linnaea confirmed. "While it's harder to shape, the benefits outweigh the difficulties.

It's also highly magnetic, which could have additional uses in certain electronic warfare

applications."

Vincent reviewed the data on the screen. "Make it a priority for our tank armor and defensive fortifications. We'll need it before the demons strike again."

Aetherium: Properties and Applications

Next, the hologram shifted to Aetherium, the mineral with magical conductivity. "This is where things get interesting," Dr. Carter said, stepping forward. "Aetherium has natural magical properties. It conducts magic better than any known material. We've tested its ability to enhance energy flow, and we believe it can be used in communication systems, targeting systems, and even weapons that require magic integration."

She pulled up a model of a communications device enhanced with Aetherium. "By using Aetherium, we could extend the range of our communication systems far beyond what we currently have. It could also improve the precision of weapons that use magical targeting

systems."

Vincent raised an eyebrow. "So we could enhance our existing tech with magic?"

"Exactly," Carter confirmed. "And we can also use it to create entirely new systems. Aetherium is flexible and lightweight, making it perfect for portable devices or light armor with magical enhancements."

Vincent leaned forward, intrigued. "How quickly can we start producing this?"

"We can start integrating Aetherium into our communications and targeting systems immediately," Linnaea said. "We already have the schematics drawn up."

"Do it," Vincent said. "This could give us the edge we need."

Gravinium: Properties and Applications

The final mineral displayed was Gravinium.

"Gravinium has the unique property of reducing the weight of whatever it's combined with,"

Linnaea explained. "This could revolutionize our vehicles, aircraft, and heavy machinery. We've tested it with steel, and the results were incredible-objects that should have been far too heavy to lift became much lighter."

A hologram of a large transport aircraft appeared, modified with Gravinium alloy. "Using Gravinium in our aircraft would allow us to increase payloads significantly while still maintaining speed and maneuverability. We're recommending that Gravinium be used in all

new aircraft designs."

"That's not all," Hawke added. "Gravinium could also be used in personal armor, making it lighter for our soldiers without sacrificing protection."

Vincent reviewed the data. "We'll need to begin production on that as soon as possible. Focus

on aircraft and heavy machinery first, then look at personal armor."

"Yes sir!"
