Chapter 544 (1/2)

It only took a short time for the Rune God and Sui Xiong to return to the Northwest Republic. Then they went directly to Palin’s Metallurgical Research Institute.

This Metallurgical Research Institute was actually made up of several houses built on the river bank, in which Palin’s residence and study room were included. What’s more, one of those houses was also used for small metallurgy research. Later, the blast furnace and two hydraulic machines were added.

This institute was particularly simple if being looked at from the perspective of China’s development level in the 21st century on earth. Even in the third world, it would be very difficult to find such a backward and simple institute. But in this world, such a research institute was well suited to everyone’s cognitive design, and Palin and the other researchers were quite satisfied with it.

Sui Xiong did not disturb Palin who was conducting metallurgy research. He took the Rune God directly to see the new mass-produced armor.

“You see, this is the armor,” he said. “I want to add some runes to it and transform it into magic armor. I feel strange seeing such a big, bare board with nothing on it.”

The Rune God did not rush to answer but instead examined the armor carefully. It took him a long time to examine the armor. He felt, touched and looked at it many times. Then he stopped examining the armor and thought for a while. Sometimes, he would tap on it and listen to it.

At this moment, the Rune God did not look like a great immortal god but like a serious dwarven craftsman who was carefully studying a work he had never seen before. He had studied the armor for a long time. Finally, he put the armor down, sighed softly, and said, “Who made this armor? It’s amazing!”

“Amazing?” Sui Xiong was stunned for a moment and looked at the gray and unfashionable armor. “Why do you think it’s amazing? It’s very ordinary.”

“It’s not ordinary at all!” the Rune God shouted loudly. He sounded disappointed with Sui Xiong who had underestimated the armor. “Although this armor is very ordinary in design and simple in production, the craft used to make it is very extraordinary! Its texture is very uniform. I can’t feel the residual force of repeated hammering on it, and there is no trace of quenching. If I’m not mistaken, this was made of steel sheets directly, and then the sheets were bombarded by some huge force which pressed it into the shape of the chest armor. That’s all right, but I really don’t understand how that made the texture so uniform. In the steel part of this armor, I can’t find any uneven materials anywhere. The uniformity of the steel is basically the same on every part of the armor. It feels like… It’s like…”

He said such words as “it seems like” several times and finally sighed deeply.

“Oh my God! I can’t find any suitable adjectives to describe the armor. It’s really amazing!”

He finally calmed down, and so Sui Xiong asked him with curiosity, “Is there any special advantage of a uniform texture?”

“Of course, there are advantages, such as being stronger. For example, there is a certain magical resistance in itself,” the Rune God said earnestly. “This armor will have unexpectedly strong resistance when facing the Great Disintegration Spell of the so-called ‘Equipped Star.'”

“Hmm?!” Sui Xiong was startled. “the Great Disintegration Spell? This armor can resist the Great Disintegration Spell? Are you kidding me?”

the Great Disintegration Spell was a special kind of magic that had great powers of damage. However, its most famous and dangerous aspect was not damaging powers but its ability to destroy the structure of magic and equipment. It would cause powerful magic or solid equipment to disintegrate and become useless.
