divine substance, lint
Steel is an alloy.
In fact, pure iron was not strong enough to be used as a weapon in terms of its hardness or strength, so the alloy made by adding carbon was steel.
The properties of steel also vary greatly depending on how much carbon is contained in such iron.
Some steels are resilient like a sword or spring, and some are so hard that they never bend even if they break.
What makes the difference between the two steels is that the carbon content in the steel is only about 2%, so the world of alloys was truly amazing.
And the steel that the miners hit the best was the Osu River.
Carbon is added to steel alloys, but graphene and carbon nanotubes, which are allotropes of carbon, are used.
In general, the higher the carbon content, the higher the hardness, and the sharper and harder it can be forged.
The harder it is, the easier it will break.
However, steel and Oss steel using graphene and carbon nanotubes were able to maintain the elasticity that is not easily broken while maintaining the high hardness of high-carbon steel.
The tensile strength and modulus of carbon nanotubes are hundreds of times that of steel, and these properties make a very sharp, hard, tough, and resilient metal.
However, the material that Lyon made, Rielon nanotube, was made according to the polycrystalline structure of such a carbon nanotube, but its tensile strength and elastic modulus were much superior.
“This is my first time making a sword with this material, so I must have made a mistake.”
Miner, who uses the old-fashioned way of speaking in the form of a child, tried to break a sword made of Rielon nanotubes staggeringly.
Originally, with the intention of forging a very hard and sharp sword made of high-carbon steel, the content of rielon nanotubes added instead of carbon was increased, but it showed characteristics like a soft sword.
Miners are given a passing score only when the blade is not broken or permanently deformed even when the blade is bent more than 40 degrees, and no visible damage to the blade is confirmed even when cutting bamboo.
However, this sword completely showed the nature of a soft sword.
It had high elasticity, so it wouldn’t break even when bent at 180 degrees or more, let alone 40 degrees.
“Next is longitude.”
Miner didn’t expect much.
In the first place, the fact that the sword bends easily means that it is weak against deformation.
If it was a high-hardness metal, a minute damage to the blade would have already been confirmed.
However, the fact that no damage is confirmed even after such deformation is evidence of low hardness.
However, Miner, who wielded the sword and cut the bamboo pole, widened his eyes.
“No, this is…!”
light.
It staggered so easily that I wondered if I would be able to properly cut the bamboo, but it went so easily that I could barely feel the taste of my hand.
However, there was no damage to the blade.
It meant that the blade had a tough nature.
Minor looked at it and pondered for a moment, then took the sword he had made earlier and struck it down.
chuck!
And the soft sword made of Rielon nanotubes threw away the steel sword made of carbon nanotubes in two.
“Hey…!”
It’s not another sword, it’s a sword created by Miner.
The fact that the blade does not break even if it is bent at 40 degrees means that it can easily absorb the impact.
Even if the same sword is struck with a white blade, its teeth may come out, but it will not break so easily.
“Is this a substance given by the God of Steel…?”
The properties of Rielon nanotubes were so excellent that such doubts were raised.
But the sword’s performance wasn’t all that.
“veronica. Stand here with your sword.”
“Are you saying this?”
“And strengthen your sword with an auror.”
At Leon’s instructions, Minor opened his eyes and swallowed a dry saliva.
Leon had a sword made of Rielon nanotubes, and Veronica strengthened a sword made of Oth steel by blowing Auras into it.
And Leon stood facing him in front of him and unfolded his magic.
“Hatching encephalopathy.”
The lightning that permeated Leon’s whole body.
And the lightning flowed through the sword holding Leon, and a red pattern appeared on the blade that looked like ordinary steel.
It wasn’t magic.
Due to the high electrical conductivity of the Rielon nanotube, when electricity flows through the sword, the Rielon nanotube combined with the metal glows hot.
And the sword no longer staggered.
Carbon nanotubes are combined in a hexagonal honeycomb shape so that one atom shares electrons with three other atoms.
When an electric current is passed here, free electrons generated in the carbon nanotube strengthen the electrical bond of the carbon nanotube and exhibit the property of contracting it.
The same was true for Rielon nanotubes.
When electricity is applied, it contracts.
However, even if it was just magic, it had only become so powerful that it would not be strange.
The soft sword, which Leon applied with a strong voltage as a hatching thunderbolt, had increased tensile strength and hardness instead of decreased elasticity.
And when he swung it, the steel sword that Veronica had even strengthened by using an aura was cut too easily.
At the sight, the 7 miners immediately approached Leon and fell flat on their faces.
“Teach us that!”
“In 400 years of blacksmithing, I have never heard of such a metal!”
“If you tell me the principle of that technique, I will use the rest of my life for you!”
They must have come to the Philo Kingdom to spread the skills of the miners, but ironically, now they are begging Leon to teach them the exact opposite.
However, Leon had no intention of teaching it to the Miners.
It was not a material they could handle just because they were taught in the first place.
Because lyelon nanotubes can’t even make ryon.
Only Angelica, who can give orders to microbes, can do this.
And that Angelica was a member of the wizards directly under Leon.
It meant that the Rielon nanotubes created by Angelica, a contractual agreement, were a new concept material that only Lyon could monopolize.
Above all, miners have already tasted the performance of Rielon nanotubes.
The opportunity to handle this kind of god’s steel can only be obtained under Leon, so even if Leon doesn’t teach the principle, the miners will not be able to leave Leon’s side.
Leon laughed with satisfaction at the performance of the new steel, Lielon Steel.
However, Li’elon nanotubes, or ‘Li’elon ‘N’ano ‘T’ube;
When a strong voltage is applied, the electrical bond becomes stronger and contracts.
If this property was used well, artificial muscles could be created.
Of course, that would require very pure lint, but that was fine.
If you use Angelica’s slime, you can create as many lints as you want by using the vacancy.
So, what Leon wanted to make was a reinforced exoskeleton.
The idea was to add a mechanical structure to the outside of the body that supports physical ability with a metal support, and use a wire made of lint as an artificial muscle instead of joints that normally move using hydraulic cylinders or gears to make it possible to demonstrate supernatural power.
Of course, there were a lot of practical problems to realize it.
First of all, Leon is not an engineer.
The principle of the reinforced exoskeleton is contained in his head, but he does not have the ability to create the mechanical design.
But if it was a minor, it was possible.
They have been knocking iron for 400 years, and they have a history of creating numerous machines that operate using steam from the furnace of the mining city of Aios.
If that’s the case, he’d have enough skills to create an exoskeleton that can move according to the structure of the human body.
However, since this is the first time such an attempt is made, a certain amount of trial and error will be required.
In addition, Leon began designing another artifact.
The reinforced exoskeleton that Leon was going to make was something the Hwarang Magician would use.
If you apply artifacts that enhance physical abilities to the knights who have already mastered martial arts, their effectiveness will only decrease.
However, how well can wizards from nobles who have only fired long-distance under the protection of knights fight if their physical abilities are strengthened?
So Leon even started making weapons for them.
The weapon that Leon came up with was a miniaturized railgun.
Making a railgun is simple.
As long as there were two rails through which electricity flows, a sufficient power source, and a metal that could withstand the high temperature generated by the high voltage and electrical resistance, it could have been made.
However, in order for the railgun to have sufficient power, it needed a scale.
High heat that is unavoidable when a high voltage is applied to the rail.
As a result, in order to obtain sufficient power within the range where the rail does not melt, the length of the rail had to be increased.
Even in modern times, the railgun is a weapon used only as a giant cannon.
Leon was planning to use such a railgun as a personal weapon to arm the Hwarang Wizards.
Modern scientists would snort nonsense if they had heard it.
But Leon was serious.
First, in order to reduce the size of the railgun, the heat generated by the high voltage must be minimized.
If the members of the Hwarang Magician Division had a contract with the Spirit of Order like Leon, they could control the entropy and minimize the release of heat energy, but that is realistically impossible.
So, what came to mind was to use a wire made of lint as a rail.
In modern times, tungsten alloy is used as a material for railguns.
Tungsten has high electrical conductivity and high melting point, making it suitable as a material for rail guns.
And it was the same with Lint.
Lint, which has high electrical conductivity and the property of contracting when a voltage is applied, shrinks when a higher voltage is applied, and its physical properties become stronger.
And the bullet of the railgun was also planning to use the lint.
Lint’s properties change depending on the pattern of the nanotube’s composition, but Lyon planned to use a high-density lint that was completely contracted without applying a voltage to the multi-walled Rielon nanotube as a bullet.
Lint of that type is heavy and hard.
Normally, railgun bullets weigh more than 10Kg, but since the bullets of railguns fired at 2km/sec are vaporized as soon as they hit the target, that much mass was needed to penetrate the thick armor of the battleship.
However, of course, as the mass of the bullet increases, the volume will inevitably increase as well, and the usefulness of the bullet will decrease.
Instead, if high-density lint is used, a bullet the size of a finger has a mass of 1 kg.
At the same time, it was very suitable as a bullet for railguns as it did not melt or evaporate easily because its properties compared to mass were superior to any other material.
Of course, the fact that the weight to volume ratio is very heavy could be a problem, but if the reinforced exoskeleton was used, it would be possible to carry high-density lint bullets and continue fighting.
And last but not least was the protective suit.
The reinforced exoskeleton strengthens the physical ability, but there were difficulties in using it as an armor by itself.
The disadvantage of the reinforced exoskeleton was that the joints were exposed, and when the joint was destroyed, the reinforced exoskeleton was merely a heavy sandbag that grabbed the ankle.
So what was made was a robe made of lint fiber.
A type of body armor was created by using the property of lint, which increases physical properties when voltage is applied.
This was especially good against Leon.
Leon’s body naturally begins to flow an ultra-high voltage current that goes beyond common sense when he deploys the incubation thunderstorm.
It is a garment that boasts higher defense than any other armor.
Considering all these properties, it was no exaggeration to say that lint was truly a divine substance.
if there is a problem,
“I have all the blueprints in my head, but it hurts to actually make them.”
No matter how talented the miners were, it was difficult to create a blueprint drawn by Leon without errors.
Fail, fail, and fail again.
Time flew by in the midst of repeated trial and error, and Leon turned 12.
And the day the new semester of the second year of secondary school started.
The Hwarang Magical Division could be fully armed with a new weapon created by Leon, Angelica, and Miners together.
He wore a visor engraved with night vision magic on his face, and a lint fiber robe embroidered with a fiery wolf, the symbol of the Hwarang Wizards, was wrapped around his body.
A sneak peek underneath is an exoskeleton suit made of well-drained metal.
And last but not least was the compact railgun in their hand.
Now, in terms of appearance alone, the Hwarang Magician Division had a more heterogeneous appearance than the demons of the demon realm.
Leon, satisfied with the appearance, said to Veronica.
“Give it to the family. I hope to go to war.”
According to Leon’s memory, around this time, war will break out on the southern border of the Philo Kingdom.
And Philo Kingdom is defeated once again.
The territory is occupied by the demons and the borders are taken away.
Leon, who already knew about it, had no intention of leaving it alone.
And when I went there, it was there.
‘Relic, Extended.’
It was an artifact containing the power of one of the seven gods of heaven, the earth god Kateriel.
