Chapter 1991: Battle Trials in the Dawn (26)
At the same time, the Rusford brothers and sisters, who were waiting in the hall, were also talking.
"His Royal Highness the Prince actually showed the boy his arsenal...... Aren't you afraid that the news will leak out?" Viscount Rustford muttered with a little dissatisfaction: "The situation in Egypt has been so turbulent recently, if the news of His Royal Highness the Prince's private possession of actual combat weapons spreads, the prince's position is estimated to be very bad." "
"If you are a little leopard, you probably won't have a problem. Juliette Luxford replied thoughtfully: "His Royal Highness Prince Said must have guessed a rough idea." Segrade, most likely, is the maker of [Solomon's Ice Vessel]. "
"What??" Viscount Luxford suddenly burst into laughter after listening to his sister's words: "Poof, hahahahaha, don't be kidding." Is that little leopard the maker of [the ice machine]?"
"What's so funny?" Juliet glanced at her brother, "Brother, don't you think that the maker of [the ice machine] is someone else?"
"Of course there are others!" Viscount Rustford snorted, "The man who can make [ice weapons] is said to be the [God of War] who possesses [absolute wisdom] and [experience], and is the [Man of a Hundred Battles]. Is that guy going to be? I'm sorry, that little leopard is too tender in every way! He was almost captured twice in danger, and he wants me to save him! How can such a little imp be the [god of war] prophesied by Zeus Makina?"
"But you can't deny it, brother, that he once beat you in the ring. Juliet analyzed without emotion: "At least there is something better than you in some way." "
Viscount Rushford's face suddenly became gloomy: "That kid is all a matter of luck! if I had been better equipped at the time------
"Oh, you have [Sky Breath] in your hand, and you don't think the equipment is good enough?" Juliet blinded her brother with even more fierce eyes, and said quietly, "Even little Kamal's funeral goods are regarded as a bet and lost people, and they are embarrassed to despise others...... "
Viscount Luxford was immediately silent, speechless, to speak.
"Anyway...... He paused for a moment before he continued, "I won't believe that guy is the maker of [Solomon's Ice Vessels]." Unless there is conclusive evidence to prove it. "
Juliet sighed: "If I could prove it, it wouldn't have to take so much effort." "
And at the same time, in the basement of the prince's villa, in the weapons test room.
"You're ......!" Segrad was taken aback at Prince Said's description.
However, what the prince said was only to test the details of the leopard youth, and when he saw that Segrade was so surprised, he suddenly smiled and said, "So Mr. Segrade, you also know the principle and the process of making [the ice machine], don't you?"
Knowing that his reaction had betrayed him, the leopard man youth immediately shut his mouth and tried to hide everything with silence.
"Knowing how it works, though, doesn't seem to be enough. The prince did not continue to test Segrade, and looked at the luna steel javelin in his hand thoughtfully: "We have even investigated the material ratio of the Luna steel, and we have repeatedly tested and developed it.
A lot of manpower and material resources were used, and skilled craftsmen from all walks of life were invited. Our craftsmen still can't make the Luna Steel.
Is it because some detail was left out of the manufacturing process, or is it because only the chosen ones are qualified to make [Solomon's Ice Vessels]?"
"This ...... Are you thinking I'm asking meow?" replied in a low voice.
"Nope. It's just my own words. Prince Said rubbed the one-of-a-kind Luna Steel Spear with his hand, as if it were a supreme treasure and there was no second one in the world.
"Still, we made something like that, which is nowhere near as powerful as [the ice machine], but it still works. Then the prince said, "Would you be interested in seeing it, Mr. Segrade?"
"...... Lead the way, meow. The leopard man replied in a low voice. He wanted to see what level of technology the prince's side had reached in making "Pseudo-Luna Steel".
Segrade is the creator of the Luna Steel's weapons, and he himself knows very well that the manufacture of Luna Steel is not a particularly complex technology. With sufficient expertise, other weapon craftsmen can reverse-engineer the Luna Steel, or something similar, after thoroughly understanding the principles of the Luna Steel. Even Odin of the Dragon Hunter clan only observed it once and understood the nature of Luna Steel. There are so many skilled craftsmen in Egypt, and Prince Said's sphere of influence is not only in Egypt, but also the excellent weapon craftsmen he can invite in Race Glade, there must be countless people.
It stands to reason that as long as the prince had this intention, if he found so many excellent weapon craftsmen to crack the secret of the Luna Steel, its secret should have been cracked a long time ago, and the weapon with the exact same nature as the Luna Steel should have been made a long time ago.
But why? The prince said that they still had no way to perfectly reproduce the Luna steel weapon, and could only make a similar imitation?
Could it be that some key steps were missed in the production process?
Segrade had already made a lot of Luna Steel weapons before this, and he even used rubber to reduce the mass, and successfully created the "Luna Rubber". The manufacture of Luna Steel weapons shouldn't be so rigorous, right......?
On the other side of this underground workshop, a workshop that imitates Luna steel weapons leads to a secret workshop hidden between the cracks of several furnaces. The furnace outside was used to forge the kind of giant weapons that Segrade had seen before, but they were clearly only arranged there to conceal people's eyes, and the essence of the underground workshop was the hidden workshop used to imitate the weapons of Luna steel.
Segrade covered most of his face with his scarf before following Prince Said inside. Among the skilled craftsmen the prince invited to imitate the Luna steel weapon, there may have been someone Segrade knew, so he tried not to be recognized.
There, dozens of craftsmen are busy hammering and hammering an iron pillar as thick as an elephant's leg into the shape of a weapon. As Segrade expected, the process was to create a giant weapon embryo, and then use the mass collapse property to slowly anneal and collapse the insanely large weapon to several times its original size.
Segrade looked at the ingredients used to make condiments next to it. Cerberus tooth ground powder. Moonstone powder. The ingredients are almost identical to those used in Segrad to make Luna Steel, except for the absence of the rarest ingredient, the golden worm's slurry. Although the pulp is precious, it is not absolutely necessary, and Segrade did not use it due to the shortage of pulp when making the "Luna Rubber" before, and the result was just as smooth as the Luna Steel weapon, but the hardness was not as high as other Luna Steel weapons (however, the rubber did not look at the hardness in the first place).
The craftsmen seemed to have finished building the luna-like weapon, and it was in the annealing stage, almost ready to crack open the shell and peek into its contents. The blacksmiths then cast an inquiring glance at the prince, and Prince Said nodded and motioned for them to do it.
The craftsmen raised their hammers and struck them.
The protective shell made of ------ special material gradually shattered and scattered all over the ground, revealing the inner Luna Steel-like weapon.
"Can I see Meow up close?" Segrad asked in a low voice, as if he feared that he would be recognized by the other craftsmen if he spoke too loudly.
"Of course. The prince gestured, gesturing.
The others didn't stop Segrade, allowing the young leopard man to come closer and look at the replica.
It was a different weapon from the True Lunasteel weapon made in Segrade, taking on a translucent, cloudy rusty iron red. Still, the effect of [mass collapse] did manifest itself on the slender spear, triple? or five, and the spear, which was supposed to be much thicker than it looked, collapsed to this size. But why doesn't it have a "collapse ring"? The whole spear is a uniform and turbid transparent structure, which is very different from the clear and transparent structure of the True Moon God Steel weapon made by Segrade, which is constantly wrapped outward layer by layer.
Is the lack of delamination because the craftsmen did not properly handle the core spun process in the production process?
Wrong. [Ironcaster] Lohrhardt, [Mad Smith] Sebastian, [Ironman] Andre...... In front of him were several famous craftsmen from all over the world that he had admired. These people are all well-known craftsmen of our time, and they cannot make such low-level mistakes.
The materials, manufacturing process, and manufacturing methods are almost perfectly reproduced, but there is still no way to make the true Luna Steel, and the rust-red pseudo-Luna Steels weapon that is made feels completely different.
------So, what went wrong?
Segrade carefully weighed the rusty iron-red translucent spear with his hand, it was still hot and a little hot.
"Can I test meow?" asked Segrade.
"Please. Prince Said Said.
The leopard man picked up his still hot spear and walked towards the weapon test.
A piece of the flesh of the Desert Demon Whale, with its amazing resilience and self-resilience, was placed there, as if smiling contemptuously at the leopard youth.
"I have a question for me," Segrade asked, before he started, "and since Moby Dick's flesh is so strong, how did you first rip a piece of flesh off his body?"
"It's with this spear. Prince Said replied, holding up the True Moon God Steel Javelin in his hand.
"It's meow. Segrade didn't ask, and raised the pseudo-luna steel spear towards the piece of demon whale's flesh. He lunged at the piece of meat for the test, raising his gun and stabbing it. He expected that the monster's flesh would be very hard and tough, and the spear would not be easy to pierce into it, so he joined the run.
However, the pseudo-luna steel spear pierced into the monster's flesh without much effort. Although it is an imitation, the strong penetrating properties of Luna Steel have been inherited, and this part can be regarded as a successful copy.
But it was as brittle as glass, not as flexible and durable as the real thing, and the handle of the gun snapped for no apparent reason shortly after it had been pierced into the monster's flesh.
"Uh......-huh!" Segrade tried to pull out the broken spear, but it was too late, and the spear almost assimilated into the monster's flesh, just like the normal weapon that had been slashed at the monster's flesh.
It's not enough for the weapon to be pierced in, but if it can't be pulled out, the wound won't be able to expand, causing further tear damage. For a monster of Moby Dick's size, this attack is almost indistinguishable from a mosquito bite.
Sure enough, a real Luna Steel weapon is needed to kill Moby Dick. And what is needed is a very large Luna steel weapon.
