Banner of the Evil God

"But, why?" Sui Xiong pondered for a while, but still didn't understand why the new mass-produced breastplate, which looked ordinary at all, could resist the Great Disintegration Technique. In the end, he couldn't figure it out, so he had to temporarily change his job to a primary school student. Ask curiously.

The God of Runes smiled, stroking his long white beard like an old gentleman in school, and said: "The key to the problem lies in 'uniformity'. The essence of the Great Disintegration Technique is to find defects in the target structure, and then It has been known for a long time that it cannot exert its power when faced with things of uniform texture - for example, if you use a piece of uniform crystal to shape it into a shield, you can block it."

Sui Xiong blinked, he really didn't know this.

Not only does he not know, but most of the other gods probably don't know either. Is it probably the result of the dwarf gods' own research?

"And what about this armor? Its biggest feature is its uniformity." The God of Runes said, "It's amazing! Its uniformity is almost like crystal... I never thought that metal could be so uniform. The situation!”

Sui Xiong guessed the reason - the steel ingots used to make this armor came from the molten iron flowing out of the blast furnace. The molten iron needs to be stirred repeatedly during the production process, so the texture will be more uniform. Compared with steel produced by other methods, its texture is naturally much more uniform.

"Unfortunately, the uniformity of this thing is not enough." The God of Runes said with some regret, "If its texture could be more uniform, the power of the Great Disintegration Technique would not be able to stay on it and destroy the connection between the armor pieces. part. Instead, the moment it hits it, it will dissipate directly because there is no enough 'irregularity' to accommodate it. "

Sui Xiong nodded slightly, but his eyes lit up.

Want to make it more even? It's not impossible. The iron ingots produced from the blast furnace for the first time are returned to the furnace for a second time, and the stirring is strengthened through the second blast furnace, and impurities are removed as much as possible, which will definitely make the material more uniform.

As for the second blast furnace, he can use magic power to heat it, or use electric heating... Anyway, the steel has been smelted, and there are many ways to use it.

"It seems that you already have a solution." The God of Runes is an experienced man. He immediately saw Sui Xiong's expression and smiled and said, "After you create a new armor, you must let me see it! "

"You don't have to wait long, I can do it now." Sui Xiong smiled. His tentacles rolled up the pieces of armor that had fallen to the ground due to damage to the connecting parts, threw them into the air, used his divine power to levitate them, and then sprayed out flames. , warm them up.

With his vast magical power, it is not difficult to burn steel into molten iron. In just a moment, there were no more armor pieces in the sky, only a ball of molten iron that was burned to bright red.

Sui Xiong used his divine power to control the molten iron, removing unnecessary impurities, and finally obtained a mass of molten iron that looked the same.

He condensed the molten iron again and turned it into a new piece of armor. Because he was just doing an experiment, he didn't bother to make it into armor, so he simply made it into the shape of a shield.

When the thing cooled down, Sui Xiong threw a big disintegration spell at it without any need for the God of Runes to take action.

The Great Disintegration Technique, which had not been strengthened by divine power, fell on the "shield" and dispersed instantly, not even a single bit remaining on it.

The situation is exactly the same as what the God of Runes expected!

"It's amazing! I never thought that there would be such a thing in the world!" The God of Runes said with emotion, "It's incredible that a mere piece of steel can be even enough to dissipate the Great Disintegration Technique!"

Sui Xiong also nodded and rolled up the "shield" with his tentacles. Then his brows instantly furrowed and he couldn't help blurting out: "It's softened?"

"What?" The God of Runes was stunned. He took the "shield" handed over by Sui Xiong, squeezed it, and knocked it. His white eyebrows also wrinkled, "Strange, why did it become soft?"

To be honest, the degree of softening is not particularly noticeable. And even if it becomes soft, it is at least much stronger than wood or something. But the perception of the two gods is so sharp that even the slightest difference cannot be hidden from them. Not to mention that the degree of softening is quite obvious - roughly speaking, it is like a harder stone turning into a slightly softer stone. Any experienced craftsman can feel it without the gods even taking action. to this distinction.

But why does steel become softer after further removing impurities and becoming purer?

Sui Xiong and the God of Runes looked at each other, neither understanding the reason.

This is really because Sui Xiong is just an art student, not an engineering student. The hardness of pure iron is inherently lower than that of steel. The most common ones in life are magnets. Anyone who has played with magnets knows that they are harder than steel. Steel knives do need to be a little softer.

As for why this change occurred, it requires a special paper on metallurgy. Not to mention that no one in the world can write it. Even if such a paper is placed in front of Sui Xiong, facing various representatives Sui Xiong was dumbfounded at the symbols for data such as hardness, strength, temperature, etc. He said, "I know every word, but I can't understand the entire article."

This episode did not affect Sui Xiong and the God of Runes. After a brief thought, they came up with a solution to the problem - make this particularly uniform steel into a thin piece and embed it on the outside of the armor, just like wrapping the wooden shield with iron sheets. Isn't it solved!

The strength is provided by the inner layer of steel armor, and the outer layer of iron is responsible for resisting the Great Disintegration Technique, which is the best of both worlds.

The only drawback is that this armor may be... heavy.

"I'm afraid that only strong men can wear such an armor to fight." Sui Xiong estimated and said with a wry smile, "After ordinary people put it on, they probably can't even walk fast."

"It doesn't matter, strong men are not difficult to find." The God of Runes said with a smile, "Compared to this kind of armor, it's much easier to find a group of strong men. If you can't get them together, I'll go and mobilize a group. There are many strong men among us dwarves!"

At this point, the eyes of the two gods lit up at the same time.

Dwarves are relatively short, which means that their armor is made of less material and is relatively light.

Dwarves are rich in strongmen, which means that even if the armor is a little heavy, it is not a problem for them at all.

Doesn't this mean... this wonderful armor is just like tailor-made for the dwarves!

Once wearing this armor, plus some other protective measures, the dwarves' heavy-armored warriors will become a real mobile fortress, and the "anti-magic" problem that has troubled them the most in the past will no longer exist!

The God of Runes reacted first, looked around, lowered his voice, and whispered like a thief: "Your Majesty Oscar, we have been cooperating happily during this period, right?"

Sui Xiong nodded.

"For a long time, our dwarves have never had any disputes with your Church of the Void Mask or the Northwest Republic, right?"

Sui Xiong nodded.

"In this case, are you interested in strengthening our relationship?" The God of Runes said tentatively, "I think there is still a lot of room for cooperation between us..."

Sui Xiong smiled and gave a thumbs up with his tentacles.

"no problem!"
