Mage? Spell Engineer!.

Chapter 604 Interstellar Banquet
The rope was tightened, pulling Snow back to the observatory from outer space.

At this time, all the crew members have been released, but they cannot move around in other areas at will. The mages from the Starry Tower need to adjust the internal space of the expanded observation center.

Although the deployment within the module is automated by the Ship Spirit, it does not mean it is completely reliable and still requires manual inspection and fine-tuning.

The second day after Kepler was launched.

"The distortion here is a bit serious. It may collapse after going in and out so many times." Snow also found a problem in a section. He was in an accommodation cabin.

The layout here is a bit similar to the dormitory in the Magic Tower. The furniture is made of lightweight fast-growing wood. There are two sets of beds and desks. The biggest difference is that there are aluminum alloy storage boxes embedded in the desks and cabinets, and there are cable ties and net bags to fix scattered items on the desks and cabinets. All the furniture is connected to the walls of the room with buckles.

Although there will be gravity wells, there will always be times of weightlessness, and this must be taken into account during design.

He first shrunk and put away the wooden bed and the cotton and linen blended sheets, and then hired a temporary assistant to peel off the wallpaper. The polymer plates and metal frames were exposed behind the imitation wood grain, and the coated magic circuits were flashing regularly.

Now this space has gotten rid of its "medieval college style" and is more like a shielding room and practice room in a magic tower.

Snow then realized that this spaceship... no, the magical skills used in the observatory had appeared a long time ago, but why hadn't they been manufactured on such a large scale and applied here before?

The voice of the ship spirit interrupted his thoughts: "Room 2β_401 will cut off the energy supply and space control. Are you sure?"

Snow and his assistant exited the now-emptied room and glanced at the house number again: "Confirmed."

"Please take precautions. It is recommended that you deploy a force field that can isolate matter and radiation, and it should be no less than three rings.

"30, 29"

Snow did as he was told. To be on the safe side, he placed a [Space Anchor] in each of the two adjacent cabins. This spell was originally used to prevent the enemy from escaping by teleportation, but now it is often used to repair cracks infected by the Mother Goddess, as well as in situations where the local space needs to be changed.

There were still 7 seconds left after the release, and he had no time to cast another spell. He gritted his teeth and crushed an expensive crystal, releasing the shield inside, isolating him, his assistant, and Room 2β_401 from the rest of the body.

Then the observatory activated its own shield.

".You should have told me earlier that you were self-isolating!" Snow gritted his teeth, "And your countdown is too short."

"In fact, you can interrupt the countdown at any time. It is detected that you have advanced permissions. If there is a similar situation in the future, the countdown time can be extended and applied globally."

". In non-emergency situations, it will be extended to 60 seconds. In the future, it will be clearly stated what level of isolation shield is provided and whether the countdown can be paused."

"Okay, I'm a new intelligent assistant and I'm still working on it. Thank you for your understanding and feedback, Lord Snow."

Snow wanted to get angry but had no place to vent. Why did he feel that this ship spirit was not as good as the red dragon?

It is easy to deal with obvious meanness, but difficult to guard against covert meanness.

After the circuit was cut off, the entire room began to collapse. The part that was hard-connected to the main body of the spacecraft did not change in size, but the inward part began to twist and deform, and shrink proportionally, or restore.

Finally, it returned to its original state when it was launched into the air, a cabinet as big as the door and about half a meter deep. Originally, there were furniture inside, but now Snow had taken them out.

After checking that there were no problems with the hardware, he activated the circuit again and participated in the shaping of the space. Just like blowing up a balloon, the structure became soft and slowly stretched. When it reached the predetermined size and touched the [space anchors] on both sides, the frame was fixed first, and the magic flowing in the circuit first spread along the rigid skeleton to the wall to complete the final shaping.

Snow felt it again and measured it with auxiliary instruments. After confirming that there was no problem, he released and installed the furniture and lit the magic lamp.

Similar work was carried out for three days. Mages with rich experience like Snow only needed a temporary partner, and most of the time they worked in groups of three. Usually, a Star Tower mage who was good at space magic took the lead, and other spellcasters served as assistants.

Not all problems can be "restarted and solved". A total of three dormitories and two functional cabins did not unfold correctly or had major defects. They were sealed and cannot be used, waiting for replacement parts to be launched from the ground later.

Since the star gate was opened, another major benefit is that the astral world and the main material world can communicate in real time. Although there will be delays and interference, it is much better than nothing.

The scheduled rest time was ten days. The docking and maintenance took four days. For the remaining time, Johannes, who was appointed as the stationmaster, waved his hand and said: Let's party!
There are two reasons:
The observatory is a combination of four ships, and the crew members need to communicate with each other. In the future, everyone will be colleagues, so they need to do some team building;

Take advantage of the abundant supplies now and spend them lavishly. By the middle and late stages of the mission period, you won't have anything you want, and what you have will have to be spent economically. It will be frustrating, and you will definitely not be able to drive.

The fifth day of Kepler's launch.

The bow of the Kepler is now the top of the axis of the observation center. All the eggshell seats have been removed and transformed into a banquet hall.

The big one is a country song from Valois with quite "open" lyrics, and it is suspected that the wizard who sings it learned it from the Moulin Rouge; later there was Bavaria's dance music, which was moved from the Würzburg Opera House to heaven.

When the humans' performance was almost over, a few dwarves, still drunk, picked up their drums and metal tools and started beating them, singing and shouting in their rough voices.

The atmosphere reached a climax. Although the young crew members could not understand what was being sung, it did not stop them from dancing wildly as if they were cursed by madness. The [Illumination] floating above their heads emitted colorful glare, and harmless small spells were fired at each other.

In the end, several elves actually boarded the banquet center. Snow didn't know which ship brought them there, and they didn't run around as enthusiastically and loudly as the dwarves.

But they finally came, took out the ocarina and harmonica they carried with them, and played around a pretty girl. The girl in the middle was a singer, her voice was melodious, and the accompaniment was also soothing.

This was a style completely opposite to that of the dwarves, and the tempo of the entire venue slowed down. Some tired attendees began to rest and look for food under the melody, while those who still had energy danced socially in pairs.

Snow layered cheese from his homeland with thin slices of smoked sausage from the Empire State, washing them down with oak-barrel-aged wine from Istani. This combination was a bit novel to say the least, especially since the wine from Istani smelled of kerosene.

"Mage Snow." A young man in formal attire came over with a glass of sparkling wine. On his chest was not only the mage emblem of the Magic Guild, but also the star emblem of the Spaceflight Guild.

Snow looked and saw it was Cavendish: "William! Long time no see. Since you left the Starry Tower, it seems you have always been in the sky?"

"Yes, I was in the squadron of Ship Zero. I don't know how I became the captain. At that time, there were only three of us, and we had to go through laminar flow." He looked around the banquet scene: "Now, there are so many people, it's incredible.

"I also became the captain of the No. 5 ship. But now there is no No. 5 ship. I am the deputy station chief of the Kepler station."

"Congratulations to the youngest deputy station chief." Snow raised his glass and clinked it lightly with Cavendish's.

"Salute our ambition, our compassion and our unity," Cavendish praised.
