Editing Toaru Majutsu no Index:Item7 Chapter1 (section)

===Part 5===

The place was spacious yet secret.

It was an explosives synthesis lab.

Something beeped electronically.

The person within glanced over at a computer’s LCD monitor and then froze.

They had set it up themselves so, no matter how many windows were open, one would pop up to the top if anything happened on it.

Some data could not be ignored by a bomber working in this city. That was why specialists often set up their homemade sensors and wrote their own analysis programs instead of relying on commercial apps.

And in this case…

(The anemometer…is vibrating with no connection to the wind direction?)

A windstorm warning.

After all, they stored, combined, and handled a lot of dangerous chemicals here. They couldn’t let an unexpected shock shake the building and trigger an explosion.

The flat screen also showed the air pressure change shooting up to dangerous levels.

Even if it used wind power, Academy City had far too many skyscrapers. The spontaneous and powerful winds caused by those buildings could even destroy houses.

“Not good…”

Tetra-ethylnipolita was a cheap substitute explosive created by combining an expired explosive with a lot of powerful acid.

The acid itself was so toxic it would produce a deadly smoke upon contacting the air. Even before creating an explosive with them, their use as an oxidizer in liquid fuel rockets was enough to know how dangerous acids could be on their own.

Of course, Morning Call did have the shelves reinforced against earthquakes, but that could only do so much. Building winds depended on the direction of the original wind, but experiments showed that, under the right conditions, they could reach twice the original wind strength. And if multiple building winds happened to coincide, the force of the impact could double or quadruple, knocking down not just the shelves but the entire building.

What would happen if the many bottles here crashed to the floor and shattered?

Morning Call could make some guesses, but the result would definitely be far more gruesome than simply being buried alive.

(The weather forecast is flawless, so why don’t they include a section on building winds!?)

They were intimately familiar with the biases and tendencies of their program. The building wind damage prediction had a delay of 80 seconds.

Their eyes shot toward the metal door leading out.

“Not good at all!!”
