"We need a weapon that is easy to operate and does not consume a lot of supplies..."

Although it was a rare rest time, Aarons was still thinking about how to strengthen the power in his hands.

As an aerial fortress, White Bird has sufficient defense and mobility, but since the internal space is not that abundant, its endurance and attack power are limited.

If large-scale resupply is required after every battle, there will definitely be a lot of trouble afterwards.

"Magic Source Stone, Star Vein Furnace, Magic Array..."

Even though he knew nothing about the special powers in this world, Aarons tried his best to understand their nature.

But I may not be able to come up with any practical ideas on my own...my abilities are still too poor compared to others.

"I can only consult Teacher Jiangyue—"

"Marquis, are you awake?"

But coincidentally, just when Aarons was about to go to Jiangyue to discuss something, Sage Dragon came to him on his own initiative.

"I'm sorry, this stuff is a little messy, but I'd like you to take a look at it."

Somewhat unexpectedly, Jiang Yue did not come empty-handed this time - she walked in with a wooden box filled with various things, and she was wearing the white coat that she only wore in the laboratory.

In this state, Jiang Yue would not suddenly demand physical interaction, so Aarons also breathed a sigh of relief.

"There are quite a lot of things... What are these?"

"These are some things you have seen before, but you haven't used them recently. Look, this is Totobi's magic core."

Aarons still remembered that special magic core - when his mental power was not yet strong enough to communicate directly with others, he had used this thing to conduct mental communication.

But now his mental strength has become so strong that he no longer needs such things.

"This is the floating cannon I used before. It can be infused with my own converted magic power to launch magic, but I can't use it now."

After Jiang Yue awakened her true form as a natural spirit, she no longer needed spiritual or magical power. She could now directly manipulate some of the forces of nature, and her destructive power was even greater than before.

So the things she brought were basically old and obsolete equipment.

"And this is a magic storage crystal made according to the information obtained from the Covenant Alliance. Now you can directly control all the facilities of the entire ship with your mental power, so this thing is useless."

“These are all things that I never get the chance to use.”

Aarons looked carefully at these seemingly unrelated things, and then let out a helpless sigh.

However, Jiangyue took these things out and placed them on the table quite seriously, as if she wanted to express some intention.

"Do you think these things are still useful?"

"Use... I think if we combine these things, we can make a remote-controlled weapon, right?"

Magic cores that can receive spiritual power, crystals that can store magic power, and weapons that can use external magic power to launch magic - these things immediately reminded Aarons of the military drones he had seen in his previous life.

However, this world does not have the artificial intelligence and electronic systems that can allow drones to operate autonomously, so even if they are made, they can only be operated manually.

"As expected, there is such an idea... Then I want to tell you that I have already made a preliminary plan for the relevant integrated design."

"So soon? Oh... We really need such a weapon now."

"The White Bird has a mental projection device designed specifically for you, so there will be no problem controlling these things. The Star Vein Furnace can stably charge the magic crystal. When it is fully charged, it can fire about five third-level magics, and it can be reused."

If this kind of weapon can be equipped on a large scale, the White Bird will not need to store too much physical ammunition. The saved space can be used to increase the storage capacity of daily necessities, further improving the White Bird's endurance.

"I have discussed this with Miss Spider. There is still 30% redundancy in the hull that has not been used. I will use this space to build a special cabin to produce and maintain this weapon."

"It's a good idea indeed. I approve it. Just give me a report when you're done."

"There's actually a problem here... if you want to manipulate these things on a large scale, you're the only one who can do it."

Although Aarons is not the only one with strong mental power, considering that others do not have his ability of fine manipulation and battlefield control, he is the most suitable operator.

However, for Aarons, this thing is a complete extra burden.

"Ah, then let me use it. Don't forget to add manual control, and find a few talented crew members to train."

"But you...ah, you only need to sit there and give orders, but now you have taken on more responsibilities than us..."

"No, this is the only power I can master since I can't do anything alone."

That answer was not some kind of comfort - Jiang Yue, who had wanted to persuade Aarons to change his mind, realized the fallacy of her idea.

"Even if everyone tells me that it doesn't matter if I don't have to fight, I still can't accept this reality - so I need the strength to fight alongside you, whether it's Shiratori or anything else."

Only in this way can Aarons catch up with them...or even stand in front of them and protect them in his own way.

"I understand. I will immediately start advancing the testing and production plans, and strive to start large-scale mass production after the next supply."

"Then I'll trouble you, Teacher Jiangyue."

Even without any power, Aarons still wanted to become stronger.

The reason why he has this desire is because he wants to protect the people he cherishes.

[Master, Dark Wing One just sent a call. Her Royal Highness the Princess has boarded the ship, and they just happened to meet Miss Karin and Miss Qianyun downstairs, so there are four people back in total.]

"What a coincidence? I'll be right there."

Although they had not been apart for long, Aarons still missed Karin and Mo Qianyun very much.

Jiang Yue, who also received the call, smiled with relief, said hello, and left the room with her things.

She would not disturb Aarons' reunion with his companions at this time, and no one else would do so either.

[They are already in the restaurant on the fourth floor. I am heading that way. Master, don't worry.]

"It doesn't matter. I also want to see them sooner."

For Aarons, this may be a real rest.
