Chapter 102: Cicada Wing Rune Knife

Seeing this old Huang who fell into self-fanatic mode, Lu Yiming didn't know what to say, let him study physics or mechanics, there was no problem, but it was too difficult to accept being an experimental specimen all day long. As for the benefits, in fact, there is no benefit, and now the entire Yunhai is too weak.

He could only look around and look around, trying to find a random topic to fool around.

"Since you're here, you can also take a look at our research progress." Professor Huang is also a smart person, he understands Lu Yiming's thoughts, and he said with a smile, "Although there are no real results in the near future, it is almost there." If you're willing to help, the Institute won't do you any favor. ”

Lu Yiming followed him and visited for a while.

The first study was a research project on "regenerative factors", a new drug that, as the name suggests, accelerates blood clotting and speeds up wound healing more than 30 times faster than before! After the surgery, which was supposed to be in bed for a month, the wound will now coagulate 30 times faster with this spray, which means that it will recover in a day or two.

There is also the healing of wounds, which used to take a week or two to heal after being cut with a knife, but now it only takes a few hours!

The most important thing is that there are no scars!

The production of this new drug is quite limited, and it requires Jin Lili's blood as a raw material.

“…… She's turned into a humanoid blood supply machine, no wonder she keeps complaining. Lu Yiming could imagine the scene of Jin Lili being constantly drawn blood, he took a bottle of spray, played with it a few times, and said with a smile: "Although it is not as good as a real trick, it is still very good." ”

The second project is the study of the "cicada wings" series of patterns, which is inspired by the bronze knife brought back by Lu Yiming, and is also a key research project.

"Runes?!" When he heard this word, Lu Yiming's heart jumped. It's too mysterious.

Lao Huang explained: "On the top of this bronze knife, there are some carved patterns similar to cicada wings. We found that as long as these lines are exactly copied on other metals, they can also stimulate superpowers. It greatly increases the strength of the material and inspires a special supernatural trait "Sharpness", yes, when the entire rune is activated, the knife becomes very, very sharp, and it is like sharpening iron. ”

"However, due to some complicated reasons, the cicada wing rune is still being reproduced...... At present, the biggest progress is only this knife, which is far from mass production. I thought that if you were willing to use your superpower to manipulate metals and work in the fine chemical industry, you would definitely be able to play a greater role. ”

Lu Yiming picked up the knife and made a few gestures, there was a button on the handle, and after pressing the switch, the three runes on the knife flashed.

He carefully cuts the iron with his knife as easily as he cuts plasticine.

"Give this thing to me as a reward!" Lu Yiming said.

This weapon, too strong!

"This is still the first one...... It also has to be used mainly for experimental research. Lao Huang said with a bitter face: "Either you can make it yourself." Anyway, it's always been recommended that you become a craftsman...... What you make yourself is yours, and no one can take it away. ”

"Hmm, or shall I try it?" Lu Yiming said with great interest.

He has been exercising in this field for several months, and he doesn't know how many pounds and taels he has.

"Okay, you go up and try it!" Professor Huang also looked interested.

Soon, Lu Yiming sat down in front of the micromanipulator, the "Cicada Wing Rune" really looked like the wings of a cicada, with various crooked lines, almost none of them were straight lines, and the fineness in some places could reach the micron level.

"To burn almost identically, the error should not be too large. According to our research, as long as the error is large, no supernatural power will be generated. As for why this is so, no one knows. ”

Lu Yiming asked, "Okay...... I have a question, if an ancient civilization made this bronze knife, how did they get it? "They can't have a microscope, can they?"

"We suspect that they really have this kind of insect with supernatural properties...... Professor Huang took a sip of water and said, "I guess their production method is different from ours, they just need to take off the wings of insects and stick them to the freshly baked bronze to produce supernatural runes...... And we don't have this kind of insect, we can only reproduce it rigidly. ”

Lu Yiming nodded, and he focused his attention on this job.

Microscopic engraving uses a chemically etched solution, in which dilute hydrochloric acid is dropped onto the surface of the metal to initiate a chemical reaction.

The principle is quite simple to explain.

But this project requires extremely high control accuracy, the cicada wing runes are almost all arcs, there are not too many straight lines, plus the concentration of hydrochloric acid, the amount of use must also be controlled, once there is a mistake, squeeze too much, after the hydrochloric acid reacts with the metal, the hydrogen produced will make the liquid splash around, and the entire plate will be ruined.

Therefore, this project makes skilled craftsmen complain. Even the most ingenious people have a high chance of failure. By now, a knife has been reproduced, proving that their work is worthwhile.

Gradually, Lu Yiming entered a state of extreme concentration.

The machine works a bit like a spiral micrometer, adjusting the position of the dropper by manually turning the handle.

However, the way he operates is different from others, others turn the handle with their hands and observe with their eyes, but he uses superpowers, using the laser measurement system that comes with the instrument instead of observing with his eyes, and then making detailed adjustments to the machine.

"If I had to use it, some of the details of these machines would have to be changed. Otherwise, it is not very convenient to use. ”

Lu Yiming thought to himself.

But even so, his speed and success rate are much, much higher than others!

An hour later, Lu Yiming retracted his thoughts tiredly.

I'm so tired!

This way of working consumes a lot of energy.

When he looked back, he saw that the engineers were all standing behind him, whispering something.

"It's very slow, and less than 5% of the work is done in an hour." Lu Yiming sighed: "If there is no mistake, it will take 20 hours to complete a piece of cicada wing rune, and once a mistake occurs, 20 hours will be in vain." And a finished knife needs 3 of these runes. It's too slow. ”

"Is this slow?" One of the onlookers laughed dumbly, and at the same time said with a little envy: "Captain Lu, your speed is already very fast, even if it is the fastest one we have here, it will take 70 hours, or even more than 100 hours, to complete the carving of a rune." And the probability of making a mistake is more than 50%! ”

"Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so slow."

"It's equivalent to making a rune knife, and it takes six hundred hours of work! It takes three to five months to get it done! Hey, it's torture. ”

The engineer at the head shook his head: "Our method of dying, of course, is very slow, and in the end it depends on the strength of the machine." If we can complete the research of high-end industrial machine tools, it is equivalent to being able to produce monsters in large quantities! ”

However, the corresponding high-precision industrial instruments are not so easy to develop. Although there are some high-end machine tools in the shelter, the industrial chain is not complete.
