Chapter 85
"But, why?" Sui Xiong pondered for a while, still not understanding why the new mass-produced cuirass, which was very ordinary no matter how it looked, could resist the Great Cracking Technique, and finally couldn't figure it out, so he had to temporarily transfer to a primary school student and ask curiously.

The god of runes smiled, stroked his long white beard like an old gentleman in the academy, and said, "The key to the problem is 'uniformity'. The essence of the Great Crack is to find defects in the target structure and then destroy them. But when it comes to something with a uniform texture, it can't exert its power. This has been known for a long time - for example, a shield can be carved into a shield with a single uniform piece of crystal. ”
Sui Xiong blinked, he really didn't know this.
Not only did he not know, but most of the other gods didn't know either, so I was afraid that it was the result of their own research by the dwarven gods, right?
"And what about this armor? Its greatest feature is uniformity. The god of runes said, "It's amazing! it's as uniform as crystal...... I never thought that metal would be so even!"
Sui Xiong guessed the reason - the steel ingots used to make this armor came from the molten iron flowing from the blast furnace. The molten iron needs to be stirred repeatedly during the production process, so the texture will be more uniform, and its texture will naturally be much more uniform than those produced by other methods.
"Unfortunately, the uniformity of this thing is still a little insufficient. The God of Runes said with some regret, "If its texture could have been more uniform, the power of the Great Cleavage would not have been able to entrench itself on it and destroy the parts that connect the pieces of armor." Instead, it will dissipate directly the moment it hits because it can't find enough 'unevenness' to accommodate it. ”
Sui Xiong nodded slightly, but his eyes lit up.
It's not impossible to make it more even. The iron ingots produced from the blast furnace for the first time are returned to the furnace for the second time, and the stirring is strengthened by the second blast furnace, and then the impurities are removed as much as possible, which will definitely make the material more uniform.
As for the second blast furnace, he could have warmed it with the power of magic, or with electricity...... Anyway, steel has been smelted, and there are many ways to do it.
"Looks like you've got a way. The Rune God Man was old and refined, and immediately saw Sui Xiong's expression, smiled and said, "After you make a new armor, you must let me see it!"
"I don't have to wait long, I can do it now. Sui Xiong laughed, and the tentacles rolled up the armor pieces that had fallen to the ground due to the damage of the connections, threw them into the air, levitated them with divine power, and then spewed flames to warm them.
With his vast supernatural powers, it is not difficult to burn steel into molten iron. In just a moment, there were no more armor pieces in the air, only a ball of molten iron that had been burned to a bright red.
Sui Xiong used his divine power to control this molten iron, removing unwanted impurities from it, and finally obtained a ball of molten iron that didn't look much different.
He recondensed the molten iron and turned it into a new piece of armor. Because it was just an experiment, he didn't bother to make it into armor, but simply made it into the shape of a shield.
When this thing cooled down, there was no need for the rune god to make a move, and Sui Xiong himself threw a big cracking spell at it.
The Great Splitting Technique, which had not been strengthened by divine power, landed on that "shield" and spread out in an instant, not even a single trace remained on it.
It's exactly the same as the rune god expected!
"It's amazing! I never thought there would be such a thing in the world," said the rune god with emotion, "It's incredible that just a little steel can be even enough to dissipate the Great Cracking Technique!"
Sui Xiong also nodded, and rolled up the "shield" with his tentacles, and then his brows instantly furrowed, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "Softened?"
"What?" the god of runes was stunned for a moment, took the "shield" handed by Sui Xiong, pinched it, knocked it, and his snow-white eyebrows wrinkled, "Strange, how did it become soft?"
To be honest, the degree of softening is not particularly significant. And even if it gets softer, at least it's much stronger than wood or something. But the two gods were so sensitive that even the slightest difference could not be concealed from them. Not to mention that the degree of softening is quite noticeable - in general, it is like a harder stone becomes a slightly softer stone, and it doesn't even require the gods to make a move, and any experienced craftsman can feel the difference.
But why does steel become softer when it is further stripped of impurities and purified?
Sui Xiong and the God of Runes looked at each other, neither understanding this reason.
This is really to blame Sui Xiong is just an art student, not an engineering student, the hardness of pure iron is lower than steel, the former is the most common in life is those magnets, people who have played with magnets know that it is a little softer than steel knives or something.
As for why this change occurred, it is necessary to write a special paper on metallurgy, not to mention that no one in the world can write it, even if there is such a paper in front of Sui Xiong, in the face of various symbols representing hardness, strength, temperature and other data, Sui Xiong will only be dumbfounded, saying "I know every word, but I can't understand it when it is connected into an article."
This little episode did not affect the nature of Sui Xiong and the God of Runes, and after only a little thought, they came up with a solution to the problem - to make this particularly uniform steel into a thin piece and inlay it on the outside of the armor, like a piece of iron on the outside of a wooden shield, wouldn't it be solved!
The strength is provided by the inner layer of steel armor, and when resisting the Great Cleavage, the outer layer of iron is responsible for it, giving it the best of both worlds.
The only drawback, presumably, is that the armor may ...... It's heavier.
"Such a pair of armor, I'm afraid that only Hercules can really wear it to fight. Sui Xiong estimated it and said with a wry smile, "After ordinary people put it on, they probably can't even walk fast." ”
"It's okay, Hercules isn't hard to find. The God of Runes smiled and said, "Compared to this armor, it is much easier to find a group of Hercules. If you can't get it together, I'll gather a group. Among our dwarves, there are many Hercules!"
At this point, the two gods were in the same eye.
Dwarves are relatively short, which means that their armor is made of less material and is relatively lighter.
Hercules are abundant among the dwarves, which means that even a little heavier armor is not a problem for them at all.
Doesn't that mean...... This wonderful armor is as if it was tailor-made for the dwarves!
Once this armor is donned, with a few other means of protection, the dwarven hoplites will become a real mobile fortress, and the "fight against magic" problem that has plagued them in the past will no longer exist!
The god of runes reacted first, looked left and right, lowered his voice, and whispered like a thief: "Your Majesty Oscar, we have been working together happily during this time, right?"
Sui Xiong nodded.
"For a long time, our dwarven clan has never had any disputes with you, whether it is the Void Mask Church or the Northwest Republic, right?"
Sui Xiong nodded.
"In that case, would you be interested in strengthening our relationship?" said the rune god tentatively, "I think we still have a lot of room to work together......
Sui Xiong smiled, using his tentacles to give his thumb up.
"No problem!" (To be continued.) )
