Chapter 46: Your Paper’s Kind Of Awesome (5)
The first round fired from the scroll where it had been aligned straight along the plane. Flare, unrefined, burst through the output unit.
The amount of elements needed at this moment was minimal. Although the time required to activate it increased as much as the decrease in necessary elements, it didn’t matter. This considerably lowered the chances of the user experiencing mana-deficiency like last time.
The flame elements which composed Flare passed through two optical devices in order. They were the Fabry–Pérot interferometer and a polarizing filter respectively.
The lights containing several wavelengths were filtered out as they passed through the interferometer leaving only the red. And when it passed through the polarizing filter, the polarized light changed from a straight line to a circle. It was a circular polarization.
Flare traveled through the output unit in this circularly polarized state. If it ended here, it became the Flare with low efficacy from the first test.
That wouldn’t be enough to take down a Calamity with one shot, so the pulse needed to be amplified.
Hence, I had asked Freyr to make one other thing.
[Manifest : Chirp Pulse Amplifier]
The Femtosecond laser turned into an ultrafast monster with ultra peak power output (PPO) as it passed through the pulse amplifier. Energy reaching 1040W/cm² struck the Homarus directly between the eyes.
Crustaceous beasts had mana stones on their heads, the same as the dinosaur or bird types. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that it hit the mark.
Instead of shrieking ‘Kieeehhhk!’, the Homarus stumbled forward emitting a mechanical sound with consistent frequency.
