Moah confirmed legendary beasts, the Red Ogre and the Blue Ogre, as well as Demon Lord Nosgorath riding a scarlet dragon. The commander was at a loss for words. They were an overwhelming force beyond imagination. He immediately ordered the communications unit to the emergency headquarters.

The commander asked Moah that the demon lord had been revived. Moah responded there was no mistake that it had the same appearance as the one described by Kenshiva, one of the four legend heroes where the stone slab stored inside the royal academy. The commander called the king and need to send all military forces to Tormeus in the northern defense regiment.

## Chronology

### Japanese-Parpaldian War Arc

Thall appeared at a meeting when Asada, a diplomat of the Japan Ministry of Foreign Affairs, visited the Empire's Third Foreign Affairs Department after the armed conflict between Japan and the Parpaldia Empire during the Battle of Fenn Offshore.

When Asada gave the documents about introducing Japan to them, Thall read it and looked up. He found it strange that he had never noticed that a nation with a population of 120 million people was nearby, but when Asada claimed that the entire country has moved from another world, he shouted him, "Are you kidding me?" He kept reading. He and his representatives didn't believe about county transference like Mu's myths and tall tales.

In response to the Japanese side's request to send an envoy, Thall even made a derogatory remark about them due to his pride as one of the five major powers, and was glared at by Kaios, who was trying to calmly assess the situation in Japan, and hurriedly kept his mouth shut.

Kaios asked him if Japan conquered and rules their countries. Asada replied that Japan did not have a vassal state. The representatives broke out into laughter. Thall again showed a laugh laced with mockery. Kaios yelled them to stop laughing by being rude to Japanese guests. He decided regarding their request to send Parpaldian ambassador to Japan for about next two months.

It is believed that Thall was originally supposed to be in charge of diplomatic relations with Japan. However, after this, due to the relationship between the First Foreign Affairs Department and Remille's side action, he was not in charge after this. His treatment after the reorganization of the Foreign Affairs Department after the defeat in the war was unknown.

Series-35 Guernica Passenger Aircraft

The **Series-35 Guernica Passenger Aircraft**, known as the **Floating Ship of the Heavens** **Type 35**, is a magic jetliner of the Holy Milishial Empire.

## Overall Description

Not much is described about the outward appearance of the Series-35 Guernica, but it is said to be white and is propelled through the air using two Light Discharge, Air-Compression Engines. There were strange shapes carved where the engine was housed. The wings are said to encase these engines and the craft is capable of speeds of 310 kph (193 mph). It is said to be the epitome of magical aircraft design in the Holy Milishial Empire. However, in comparison to a Boeing 777 and Boeing 787, the Floating Ship is considered quite small and far inferior in performance and passenger comfort.

The aircraft was used to transport the Holy Milishial Empire's ambassadors to Japan, which took them several days. Compared to Mu's La Chaos Passenger Aircraft, their cruise range is relatively shorter which takes five days from Mu to Japan.

Mu's aircraft can reach up to 7,000 km in a single cruise while the Series-35 Guernica can only reach up to 4,200 km for a single cruise.

Their fuel mainly using highly-purified magic gemstones where Mu takes responsibility for refueling it.

## Specification

* **Type:** Passenger Aircraft
* **Model:** 35
* **Cruising** **distance:** 4,200 km
* **Cruising speed:** 310 kph
* **Powerplant**: Light Discharge, Air-Compression Engines x 2
* **Fuel:** high-purity red magic gems

## Operational History

Lydolka and the HME delegation first used this ship during their visit to Japan through Fukuoka under the guise of preemptive meeting. Later on, survivors from the Irnetia Kingdom that managed to escape from invasion of the Gra Valkas Empire also took the ship to Japan, requesting aid to liberate their lands.

## Trivia

* The name of the Series-35 Guernica in the web novel is Floating Ship of the Heavens Type 35.
State-Of-The-Art Dragon Carrier

**State-Of-The-Art Dragon Carrier** is the largest and longest dragon carrier built to mount Wyvern Overlords developed by the Parpaldia Empire to counter Mu’s a state-of-the-art fighter aircraft, *Marin*. It is constructed with a longer runway than previous dragon carriers.

## Description

Since there was no existing dragon mother that could mount the Wyvern Overlords without significantly increased the take-off distance, and there was no existing dragon carrier that could retrofitted for runway extension repair, the Parpaldia Empire had to design a new ship from scratch. They come up with a dragon carrier with a flight deck length 130m long, which exceeds the limit of wooden ships.

The construction cost is very expensive, three times more expensive than that of a regular dragon carrier. The operational cost is also expensive and the number of wind god tears is four times that of a regular dragon carrier (Half is for navigation and half is for take-off support).

The production and maintenance of Wyvern Overlords are much more expensive than the traditional varieties, however, Remille is stupid to even think about to mass-produce them.

## Ships of the line

The council room was filled with silence. Prime Minister Maus, who was in charge of the current military operation, looked towards General Patagene and three other generals and discussed them planning to invade the Qua-Toyne Principality and Quila Kingdom. General Patagene asked him for information about the country called Japan that contacted them. Maus was also the head of foreign affairs. Japan had also made contact with the Louria Kingdom, but since they had entered into a diplomatic relationship with the Qua-Toyne Principality and the Quila Kingdom first, they were judged to be an unfriendly force and turned away. Since the Japanese diplomatic mission said that this was the first time that they had seen wyvern, they were deemed as a barbarians country that didn't has wyverns. He believed that the Qua-Toyne Principality requested Japanese help.

King Haag Louria XXXIV said happily to think that their generation will finally unite this Rodenius Continent and exterminate the wretched demihumans.

### Rodenius War

The Type 99 was first deployed during the siege of the Louria Kingdom's capital. The indirect shelling immediately convinced the Lourian forces that their castle walls wouldn't stand up to such firepower. This made the defenders send out their armored infantry and cavalry to try and destroy the Type 99 self-propelled howitzers. However, this only led to sending their forces to their doom as they were mowed down by machine gun and tank gun fire.

### Japanese-Parpaldian War

The Type 99 howitzers took part in the war against the Parpaldia Empire, where they were used in conjunction with helicopter rocket and cannon fire to obliterate the Imperial Army Ground Legion, the same legion that had executed 200 innocent Japanese tourists.

### New World War

During the war, the Type 99 guns would again be called into action as they were used with the M270s to conduct a heavy suppression fire to what was left of the 4th Armored Division in Mu, eliminating all infantries except for armors that were later finished off by Type-10 and Type-90 Tanks.

Shin

**Shin** is the god of time and fate in the New World.

## Personality

Shin is Luca's follower and emissary, who was one of the Four Heroes of the Alliance of the Races.

## Chronology

### Great Race-Demon War Arc

After the Alliance of the Races with the help of the Imperial Japanese completed the construction of a great wall called the Doors of the World across the end of the land of Topa, the Emissaries of the Sun God were gone to Earth. At night, Kijje and Luca joined Ta Lou and Kenshiva standing in front of Galeos, who was sitting next to a bonfire. They were reminded of a lot of things about their past and abilities. Galeos always wondered who Luca was during the entire journey as a great mage. With the focus on Luca, she upheld her dignity and changed her young form to a real old woman, turning Ta Lou and the others into agreement. Hearing of her real name and underling of Shin, the god of time and fate, Galeos and the others swiftly got on their knees and thought she was an emissary of the gods herself, but she didn't mind as they did with the sun goddess’s emissaries. The four men then sat back down. She decided the time had come for her to fulfill her purpose after her life and journey over 10,000 years. She would serve as their guide to subdue the Demon Lord. Shortly afterward, Ta Lou, Luca, Kenshiva, and Kijje decided to join and guide their duty to defeat the Demon Lord.

In the battle at the Darelgulla Castle, using her magic of the time god Shin, Luca drew up a magical barrier to seal Demon Lord Nosgorath inside. After Ta Lou, Kenshiva, and Kijje heard her explanation, they all decided to exchange their life energy which required their sacrifice of the magical barrier to seal the Demon Lord for all eternity. However, the barrier itself couldn’t kill, but the magical powers of the people inside neutralized, and the flow of time stopped, trapping those insides into an immobile state. If they sacrifice their life energy to be converted to magic, they could then theoretically seal the Demon Lord for all eternity. However, to completely seal the Demon Lord, they needed to analyze his magical power. Having not encountered the Demon Lord personally up to that point, Luca knew that the risk of casting the spell without prior rehearsal would be too much.

As Luca began the main chant for the spell itself, Kijje’s body began to glow and fade away. Then Ta Lou's and Luca's bodies started to glow and disappear, leaving Kenshiva and a Demon Lord sealed. The power of the barrier would slowly decay over time.
Yamirei

**Yamirei** is a Chief Royal Court Magician of the Louria Kingdom

## Chronology

### Rodenius War Arc

First appeared at the military conference held after the Lourian Navy's defeat at the Great Naval Battle of Rodenius and the Battle of Ejey. Yamirei was asked by Patagene for an explanation when the latter noticed the Japanese military used the ”arrows of lights to track the targets”. Yamirei expressed his view that the Japanese weapon is like the Guided Magic Warhead used by the Ravernal Empire and the kingdom is facing were the legendary demons. However, his idea was scoffed by General Miminel because of the diplomatic movements of Japan were not like the demons and the natural phenomena that will confirm the return of the Ravernal Empire is not confirmed. In fact it is the reverse in Japan's case.

Later, he was shown in the Pacification of Jin-Haag where he lead 100 mages into the of walls atop the Royal Palace, when he saw the F-15Js of the JASDF flying above the capital. He instructed the mages to cast a firevall spell towards the enemy. However, none of the spell hit the much faster air superiority fighter of the JASDF.

At a meeting after the wyvern units and naval facilities were destroyed, military officials asked him again questions about enemy weapons, but he was tired of a series of unusual situations, and he continued to growl and gave a decent answer.

Revival Support Department of the Ravernal Empire Revival Management Agency

The **Revival Support Department of the Ravernal Empire Revival Management Agency** is a government department of the Annonrial Empire and is tasked to develop the revival of the Ravernal Empire, control the Ravernal Empire’s spacetime travel beacon, and analysis of Ravernal lost technologies.

## Background

The government workers of the Annonrial Empire work to support and help the revival of the Ravernal Empire. They measure the effectiveness of the demonic control devices, which are created from analysis of Ravernal lost technologies, to take control of the Ravernal Empire’s spacetime travel beacon, which is a secondary objective. When the Ravernal Empire transfers to this modern world, warps in spacetime will appear. Once the beacons detect those warps, they will emit signals, sending out the planet’s positional and chronal coordinates. Based on those signals, the Ravernals Empire can return to where it once was.

The reason why these signals are necessary is due to the ever-moving behavior of astronomical bodies through space. If they came back with only chronal coordinates to go by, they’d likely be transported to a point in the middle of space. One of the countless beacons that exist in the world is, for some reason, buried close to where the royal castle of Esperanto stands.

Even if it were left alone, the structure of the beacon that emits signals isn’t something that degrades, even in the span of tens of thousands of years. As long as a fairly advanced magical civilization doesn’t find it, it is just a knick knack with a purpose that cannot be determined. However, since the higher-ups have judged that they needed to make sure it’s in safe hands, Daxild and his staff were deployed. Although Annonrial researchers have surmised that even if in the odd chance several beacons failed to work, as long as some do, and as long as all Mystar satellites in orbit work, the Ravernal Empire can return without problem. The beacons in Annonrial control that emit signals for the revival are hidden, and while the Mystar satellites are in an unreachable position, there’s simply no way for the rest of the world to be able to reach them, let alone damage them. It is for these reasons why the recovery of the beacon underneath Esperanto is merely a secondary objective, and the true reason why they came there was to test their demonic control devices.

## Noted Technologies

* Demonic Control Device - Confirmed in possession. Used during the events in Esperanto.
* Ravernal Revival Beacons (unconfirmed in possession)
* Mystar (unconfirmed if Annonrial can contact it without the Ravernal Empire Beacon)
Sirius Dive-Bomber

**Sirius** is carrier-based dive bomber plane of the Gra Valkas Empire. It is developed and manufactured by Gales, Gra Valkas Empire’s aircraft company.

## Description

The Sirius carrier-based dive bomber aircraft is packed with a 1,300 hP air-cooled two-row 14-cylinder radial engine in a slender body, the top speed reaches 530 kph. Although the performance is close to the former IJN Yokosuka D4Y Suisei or "Comet", it seems that the outer shape is close to the latter type, the Yokosuka D4Y1 because it is equipped with an air-cooled engine.

In the Web Novel, it has a top speed of 430 kph and probably resembled the Aichi D3A Type 99 carrier-based dive bomber. It is unknown why only the Sirius type was changed.

The Gra Valkas Imperial Army also use this aircraft. Whether this model is any different goes unspecified.

## Specifications

* **Crew:** 2 persons?
* **Power:** Air-cooled two-row 14 cylinder radial engine
* **Output:** 1,300 hp
* **Cruise speed:** 430 kph
* **Maximum Speed:** 530 kph
* **Armaments:**
	+ Two 12.7 mm machine gun (fixed forward)
	+ One 7.7 mm machine gun backward (swivel)
	+ 1x 250 kg bomb and 2 x 60 kg bombs

## Operational History

Imperial Navy Sirius dive-bombers were first used in the Naval Battle of Magdola and the Battle of Folk Strait, the battles that ignited the New World War. They were very effective against the inferior ships of the temporary World Union fleet, although several by shot down by Japan's Shikishima-Class Patrol Vessel.

More Imperial Navy dive bombers would be deployed at the Great Naval Battle of Baltica, where they inflicted massive casualties against the Mirishial fleets and the World Union fleet. Once the Pal Chimera Flying Battleship, Sirius dive bombers were deployed with fighters to try and destroy it using conventional anti-battleship tactics. The Pal Chimera's advanced weapons and fire control were able to shoot all Gra Valkas aircraft in a unbelievably short amount of time.

The Imperial Army first used Sirius during the Invasion of Mu, first during the fall of Alue and then later in the Battle of Malmund Mountains. In the later, they were put against the JASDF for the first time, and were hopelessly shot from the sky.

During the Great Naval Invasion of Japan, the Imperial Navy deployed 100s of Sirius dive-bombers in its Great Fleet (Gra Valkas Empire) to face down Japan's 'Navy' and to attack Japan directly. Due to Japan's superior use of submarine and air-launched guided weapons, this never came to pass. By the time the Great Fleet encountered any Japanese warships, all aircraft carriers had been sunk.

Imperial Army dive-bombers stationed in Leifor were destroyed during Japan's blitz air attack during the Liberation of Leifor, or grounded by the destruction of their runways.

## Trivia

* The name originates from one of the 21st century magnitude stars in the sky, on the constellation of the Great Dog, probably from the brightest star, Sirius.
* The Sirius Dive-Bomber is the only plane of the Gra Valkas Empire that has two different versions in the web novel and the light novel
Siosan Prime Minister

**Siosan Prime Minister** is an unnamed prime minister of the Sios Kingdom.

## Appearance

In the manga version, Siosan Prime Minister is a gentleman with a long left-side swept hair on top of his head.

## Chronology

### Post-Rodenius War

The prime minister of his kingdom searched for King Sios in the Royal Palace’s garden and informed him about Louria Kingdom in the Rodenius War. The king finally realized that Louria Kingdom could have unified the Rodenius Continent, but the prime minister replied that his king’s opinion was wrong. His report told that Louria Kingdom had lost and defeated by the emerging country, Japan.

The king got worried that the Sios Kingdom lost their greatest trading partner which is the Louria Kingdom. He must get in contact with Japan. It would be nothing, but trouble if they make a move without a strategy because it would incite the anger of the Parpaldia Empire.

Then the king and prime minister planned to request helping from Qua-Toyne Principality for a meeting with the county of Japan.

## Trivia

* Siosan Prime Minister only appears in the light novel and manga, not the web novel; however, his name is unknown.
Siosan Ambassador

**Siosan Ambassador** is an unnamed ambassador of the Sios Kingdom to the Qua-Toyne Principality and a representative of the Great Eastern Countries Conference.

## Appearance

In the manga version, Siosan Ambassador is a man with a petite handlebar mustache. He wears a long renaissance sleeve tunic and a club symbol Tudor hat. He looks like a king of clubs on the poker card.

## Chronology

### Japanese-Parpaldia War Arc

During the Great Eastern Countries Conference in the Qua-Toyne Principality, the Siosan ambassador listened to the representatives to discuss a new country Japan with compiled information of the heroic stories of Japan’s feats. He and other ambassadors were shocked and impressed that Japan was tremendously strong they had have established a common perception; however, the Mao ambassador believed that the Mao Kingdom didn't open or cater any Japanese foreign relations and viewed Japan as a dangerous country because they managed to defeat the Louria Kingdom without suffering any casualties. For them, the appearance of Japan disrupted the status quo and made the situation worse. Disagreeing with Mao ambassador, the Topan ambassador did not believe Japan was dangerous. If Japanese people were not harmed, they did not seek to fight. Furthermore, the books about their advanced technology were sold in their country in the public bookstores, and the Japanese did not prevent them from purchasing the books. Simply by associating with Japan, one could raise the level of their country’s technology easily. They were even more advanced than the Parpaldia Empire.

The Siosan ambassador agreed with him. The Sios Kingdom had not attacked them, and Japan had not attacked them. Unlike the Parpaldia Empire, Japan didn't lock its technology behind gifts of slaves or land. As for the case with the Louria Kingdom, the Siosan ambassador believed it to be an exceptional case since Japanese people would have starved if food exports from Qua-Toyne were to have stopped.

The Siosan ambassador and other ambassadors believed they would build and develop friendly relations with Japan by trading foods and goods, defending against enemies, and receiving technology and infrastructure improvements. The talks continued.

After that, the debate over Japan continued to heat up. The Great Eastern Countries Conference resolved not to enter hostilities with Japan.
Shafer Light Tank

The **Shafer Light Tank** is the main Light Tank of the Gra Valkas Empire.

## Description

The Shafer's appearance is similar to the Imperial Japanese Army Type-95 Ha-Go Light Tank. Their performance and specifications is almost similar.

The armor thickness of the Shafer is about 12 mm and it has only enough protection against the 7.62 mm rounds of JGSDF's light machine guns, so it cannot stand the 7.92 mm armor piercing rounds of Mu's machine guns as well as the 12.7 mm (50-caliber) on-board heavy machine guns of the JGSDF.

It was used by the Mu Army during the Battle of Arou. Although the Mu Army was defeated by the Gra Valkas Empire's 4th Armored Division, it managed to destroy one (1) Hound Medium Tank.
Small Ship

**Small Ships** are type of warships that is used by the Holy Mirishial Empire.

## Description

These are the HME's equivalent of the destroyers of Japan and Gra Valkas Empire but lack torpedoes and anti-submarine capabilities. It is also unclear whether they can use armor strengthening magic just like their bigger magic ship counterparts.

## Service History

The HME has 8 of these ships in the Zeroth Fleet during the Naval Battle of Magdola, a surprise attack by the Gra Valkas Empire. Although the ships had moderate success against the enemy's outdated surface warships, the entire Zeroth Fleet was annihilated by dive bombers soon after.

During the Battle of Baltica, 60 small ships were deployed in total when the Milishial Empire dispatched its 1st, 2nd, and 3rd fleets. During the Gra Valkas Empire's first air attack on the magic fleets, they were able to shoot some aircraft down, but several small ships were still sunk. Even more were sunk later when Gra Valkas submarines attacked the fleet, with the Milishial Empire unable to respond in any way. Still, numerous small ships were able to make contact with the Gra Valkas Combined Fleet and engage in a several hour long surface skirmish. Some ships were sunk, many damaged, and both sides eventually pulled back after running out of ammo.
Type-12 torpedo

The **Type 12 Torpedo** (12式短魚雷, 12 Shiki Tan Gyorai, development name G-RX5) is a lightweight anti-submarine homing torpedo developed by the Technical Research and Development Institute, a department of the Japanese Ministry of Defense and built by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries for the Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force.

## Description

The driver sits on the right side of the vehicle with the engine to his left. His position is fitted with three periscopes, the center of which can be replaced by a passive night vision periscope. For service in Iraq it appears that his position was fitted with an assembly of three windows to enable him to drive with his head out of the vehicle for greater situational awareness while still protected from small-arms fire. Behind him is the commander/gunner in a cupola that traverses 360° that can carry either a 40 mm grenade launcher (Type A) or a .50 caliber (12.7 mm) M2HB machine gun (Type B).

Xand Pastall

**Xand Pastall** is a director-general of the Military Headquarters and a head of the Gra Valkas Imperial Army.

## Personality

Xand Pastall is the most important person in the Gra Valkas Imperial Army. However, he doesn't appear in any of the military strategy meetings and seems to be more of a political figure than a field officer.

In reality, however, he is a man who is so good that Gralux called him "an excellent man," and he does not seem to have been the head of the Imperial Army for intents and purposes.

## Chronology

### Post-Great Naval Invasion of Japan

Xand Pastalll participated in the meeting room in Emperor Gralux's mansion where an emergency meeting was taking place after the catastrophic loss of air and naval forces of the Great Fleet during the Great Naval Invasion of Japan. The three generals, Caesar and Mirkenses, were not returned. Xand Pastall was so pale that he was unable to give a proper answer to Emperor Glarlux's scolding. Siegs, the sole surviving member of the Three Great Generals, mostly answered and stated that the current situation was critical and proposed to defend the imperial heartland from the enemy invasion.

A military official hurriedly entered the room and whispered something to Xand Pastall and Siegs. Xand Pastall’s face immediately went pale. Emperor Gralux saw Xand Pastall struggle to reply, Siegs stepped up and spoke to them that ships from the 2nd Central Fleet, including the battleship *Rigel II*, deployed off the Irnetia sector were attacked by torpedoes, but they had not been able to confirm that Japan might be submarines. Everyone in the meeting room froze in fear of the possibility of death being so close. All meetings would be held in the wartime meeting room.

After the fall of Leiforia and the expulsion of the Gra Valkas Empire from the Mu continent, Xand Pastall attended the emergency meeting at the Imperial Conference. Kurtz threw a tantrum when Xand Pastall reported that their every defeat was caused by Japan. No matter what they did, they couldn't stop Japan's guided missiles, countermeasures were ineffective, and submarines were out of the question. Xand Pastall wanted to make a peace while fortifying the defense of the mainland. Kurtz yelled again, but this time Xand Pastall gave an argument. He dared Kurtz to take command, as he only reported the fact that the empire could never win no matter how hard they tried. Xand Pastall even reprimanded Kurtz to negotiate with foreign affairs in terms of talking peace while bolstering the army. He also stated that he was telling the truth about the situation.

Immediately afterward, Emperor Gralux, who had admitted Xand Pastall's argument, accepted the peace proposal while he wanted Xand Pastall to strengthening its military power.

## Service History

### New World War Arc

When JASDF aircrafts launched guided bombs to hit Gra Valkas imperial buildings in the Hinomawari Kingdom, the Gra Valkas Hinomawari Occupation Army cabinet building had collapsed.

Within the basement of the destroyed GVE cabinet building, Ol' Boots screamed at his subordinates of how no one could detect JSDF airstrike beforehand and how can fight against aircraft with infantry. Trying his best to salvage the situation, he ordered his remaining force to prepare for ground invasion force starting with destroying the bridge that leads to the capital city and the assassination units prepare to ambush JSDF Special Forces.

However, as they prepare for defense, he detected five shots from the flares from the JSDF direction, signaling a large scale invasion. He stated in panic that he had to escape the city to call for reinforcement using the camouflaged runway and left his troops behind. He then left the city with the Star Cloud passenger aircraft much to the dismay of his left-behind troops. However, moments after Jagina radioed the Japanese for their surrender, the Star Cloud passenger aircraft that carries Ol' Boots, whom the GVE defenders thought flew just moments before the attack of Japan, recently take off and decided to attack a flock of Wyvern riders from the Nigrat Union after their surrender, killing Delkar, a wyvern rider. The Apache helicopters had managed to shot down the Star Cloud, killing Ol' Boots in the process. Because of this, Dahl, the 3rd Flying Dragon Squadron Captain, has decided to take revenge by killing the remaining GVE defenders and the surrounding area in the bases, killing Jagina, the remaining GVE personnel under the base and 279 civilians.
Silicon

**Silicon** is a chemical element with the symbol **Si** and atomic number 14. It is a hard, brittle crystalline solid with a blue-grey metallic lustre, and is a tetravalent metalloid and semiconductor. It is a member of group 14 in the periodic table: carbon is above it; and germanium, tin, and lead are below it. It is relatively unreactive. Silicon is the eighth most common element in the universe by mass, but very rarely occurs as the pure element in the Earth's crust.

## Overview

Although it is the eight most common element in the universe, it rarely occur as the pure element. It is most widely distributed in dusts, sands, planetoids, and planets as various forms of silicon dioxide (silica) or silicates. More than 90% of the Earth's crust is composed of silicate minerals, making silicon the second most abundant element in the Earth's crust (about 28% by mass) after oxygen. As the New World is similar to Earth in composition, silicon is enormously abundant.

Silicon by itself is relatively easy to extract from its naturally-occurring silica compounds such as sand, by reducing it with coke. Though silicon is very useful in terms of construction, it is its semi-conductive nature that makes it ideal for computer chips and other computer components. Silicon is what made the Transistor possible, and through years of advancement, transistors have now become far smaller and more powerful. Currently, tens of millions of transistors can fit on a single silicon chip the size of a fingernail.

## Uses

* Electronics
* Synthetics
* Glassware
* Windows
* Mirrors
* Concrete Pavement
* Implants
* Medical equipment
* Abrasive

## Silicon in the New World

### Third Civilization and Outside the Civilized Areas

Sand is practically everywhere and the people of these nations eventually learned that heating up sand will produce glass. As a result, glassblowers and glass artisans became the main source for this material. Mixing in sand and mortar together forms the binding agent for cobblestone roads, and can also be used for foundations. Sand can also be used as an abrasive to remove paint or smooth down rough surfaces.

### Second Civilization

In nations like Mu, sand is seen as a building material, a source of glass, and not much else. Since they have very little understanding in terms of electronics, they have yet to realize the potential of the silicon chip.

### First Civilization

As always, in places like the Holy Milishial Empire, magic is the key. In terms of sand, it is no more regarded than a low-level Earth spell.

### Gra Valkas Empire

The Gra Valkans have not yet recognized the power of silicon, other than the glass casings of their Vacuum Tube technology.

### Japan

Japan was considered one of the highest nations in terms of electronics and computer technology on Earth. Here they bring their advanced computational power to bear on the other nations of the New World. It is through the power of silicon and the computer chip, that Japan's military and civilian technology reigns supreme. Not only electronics, but also their use of silicon in everyday life, is the envy of every other nation.
Type-06 Rifle Grenade

The **Type-06 rifle grenade** (06式小銃てき弾, *Maru-roku-shiki Shōjū Tekidan*) is a rifle grenade used by the Japan Ground Self Defense Force (JGSDF). It can be launched from the Howa Type 89 or Howa Type 64 rifles without other attachments.

## Description

The JGSDF did not adopt the US-made M203 grenade launcher for general use after a thorough examination. Development of the Type-06 rifle grenade began in 1998 by the **JGSDF Ground Research and Development Command** after evaluations were done in 2001 and in 2005. The Type-06 was finished and adopted by the JGSDF in 2006, being manufactured by Daikin Industries under its Defense Systems Division.

The Type 06 had been fired first in exercises done by the JGSDF's 3rd Mechanized Infantry Regiment. It has been subsequently shown in various war game exercises.

The grenade does not need a launching attachment, because it was designed for riflemen and not for grenadiers. However, a simplified aiming sight can be attached. It contains a HEAT warhead for defeating tank armor. It is also equipped with a built-in time fuse for safety upon failure of the contact fuse.

## Specification

* Type: Rifle grenade launcher attachment

## Service History in the New World

During the events in, Nihonkoku Shoukan Gaiden 02, the said sniper rifle was one of the issued weapons to the GSDF expedition team prior to their departure.
