Volume IV Chapter 40 Alloys
With melee weapons, it was only natural that Shi Leiyin began to work on ranged weapons.
The Homemade Electromagnetic Cannon is an off-the-shelf weapon, but needs to be modified to be used as an external weapon for this body.
Originally, Shi Leiyin's electromagnetic cannon was actually a very simple electromagnetic coil in terms of structure. The root of its powerful power is the super voltage formed by Shi Leiyin's powerful magic power, and the low-temperature superconducting effect created by the flesh. These two points can naturally be easily done in Shi Leiyin's body, but after being placed outside the body, they are not so easy to satisfy.
Fortunately, part of the energy system in this body uses an alloy of superconducting at room temperature, and Shi Leiyin has completed the recording of the properties of the alloy when analyzing and recording the energy system. After analyzing the depth of the sample, it was easy to obtain the metal ratio of this alloy. With the help of his own talent, Shi Leiyin easily completed the production of this alloy.
It is worth mentioning that this alloy also seems to be a relatively rare item among the Axes, and only the core of the entire energy system uses this alloy to reduce energy consumption. The rest of the similar parts use another alloy that conducts electricity very well but has not yet achieved superconductivity. After confirming that this alloy metal did not replace the superconducting alloy because of key factors such as hardness or melting point, Shi Leiyin decisively replaced the conductive metals of the three sets of energy systems with superconducting alloys at room temperature. To this end, Shi Leiyin also dismantled part of the body shell - although the metal components required by the superconducting alloy are not rare, only the alloy structure of the shell can provide sufficient components in the case of local materials.
While this has led to a decrease in the thickness of the hull of the body, it is clear that the efficiency of the energy system has more than doubled, and even the power of the chainsaw has increased somewhat.
Shi Leiyin, who never stopped, naturally made persistent efforts and used the same alloy to make a three-meter-long large electromagnetic cannon.
The cannon body is made by Shi Leiyin to imitate the shape of the Axes weapon, which is very sci-fi. And then...... Then Shi Leiyin found that his alloy was not enough.
Crafting superconducting alloys requires much more metal than Shi Leiyin imagined, in the case of recklessly disassembling the shell to make a cannon barrel. Shi Leiyin suddenly found that the shell of his body was only a thin layer, and most of the parts had completely lost their defensive use, but barely retained the shape and structure.
In desperation, Shi Leiyin could only choose to disassemble the barrel that had been made back into the defensive shell, and then began to consciously search for metal substances or mineral deposits in the secret realm of the Stone Forest.
Although the Stone Forest Secret Realm was built by the Kaludia Chamber of Commerce, just like the Life Secret Realm of Jinkisya, it was all from the exploration and transformation of the original terrain. The outer stone forest of the Stone Forest Secret Realm is a part of the Natural Secret Realm, and the Kaludia Chamber of Commerce has only manually transformed it, adding or moving some of the stone pillars, making the outer stone forest more complex than the secret realm.
Therefore, some of the mineral deposits in the inner part of the Stone Forest have not been developed, especially the common metals such as iron and copper, which are relatively difficult to develop.
The metal deposits that Shi Leiyin hopes to find are these ordinary metal deposits, and the alloy metals of the Akers do not use those magical metals from the magical world, but are completely alloys made of ordinary metals from the scientific side.
As for the special metals that appeared in those alloys, Shi Leiyin put his hope on the weapons and equipment of those adventurers who were lost in the secret realm of the Stone Forest.
As an old secret realm, the Stone Forest Secret Realm has long had a large number of adventurers coming in and out. Therefore, even on the periphery, you can occasionally pick up items from adventurers on the ground. And those weapons and equipment that have been buried in the ground for various reasons are countless.
Shi Leiyin's luck was good, even if he didn't choose to go back to the few small deposits he had discovered earlier to mine metals, he still found a mixed metal mine not long after.
Mixed metal deposits on the mainland are metal deposits that are directly considered waste. Due to refining technology, this deposit of a large number of different metals in the form of mixed ores is simply not able to extract the required metals well.
At the same time, due to the existence of natural alloys, mixed metal ores are not only difficult to distinguish and refin, but also difficult to mine. In addition, the existence of multiple minerals leads to the superposition of mining threats of various minerals. Basically, if you explore mixed metal mines on the mainland, you will only think that you are unlucky and give up.
Of course, these problems are not a problem at all for Shi Leiyin, after the ore is swallowed into the body, in addition to the natural alloy, other metals will naturally be classified according to their respective types, and then used to synthesize the target's normal temperature superconducting alloy.
This mixed metal mine is not large, not even the extent of a small vein, it can only be regarded as a small mine, the scope is about 20 square meters, and the depth is only 5 meters, and the soil of the upper layer is nearly 2 meters, which is actually only 3 meters deep.
However, the density of the ore is relatively large, and the entire ore site has been mined, and there are almost 100 pieces of ore of various sizes, as well as a few natural alloys the size of an adult man's fist.
As a surprise, Shrayin found more than a dozen weapons and equipment near this mixed metal mine, and they were high-grade goods mixed with two top-grade magical metals, Mithril and Gold Essence. Judging by the bones near the armament, it is likely that this is a well-developed squad of high-ranking professionals, and perhaps even an elite unit of some countries.
However, Shi Leiyin has no interest in studying what country this elite team that has been buried three meters deep underground belongs to and how it died. As you can guess from the metal fragments next to these high-grade weapons and equipment, this team has been buried underground here for at least a few hundred years, perhaps earlier than the appearance of the Stone Forest Secret Realm.
After taking out these equipment, Shi Leiyin got another surprise, in addition to the mixing of magic metals, the metal itself is not a common metal such as copper and iron, but is forged from various rare metals. Among these rare metals, there happen to be the components needed by Shi Leiyin to synthesize superconducting alloys, and there are quite a few of them, which is enough for the amount of armor. Each piece of equipment uses different Rare Metals, but the only thing they have in common is that they all work well with Mithril and Gold Essence at the same time. Judging from the forging situation, it is clear that these rare metals were used as the basis for crafting gold essence and mythril equipment. Rare metals are used to construct the shape of the equipment, which is then guaranteed by the outer layer of gold essence, and Mithril is compatible with magical effects.
This kind of practice, which is extremely unsuccessful from the perspective of science and technology, is a very common practice on the mainland. The existence of magic metals makes the metal smelting in the continent basically in the direction of how to be compatible with magic metals. After all, it is basically impossible to find an alloy that can surpass gold essence in hardness, toughness and plasticity beyond Mithril, and even if you occasionally find one or two, the difficulty and cost of synthesis will far exceed that of directly harvesting the former.
