Chapter 545 Chapter 85
“But why?” Sui Xiong thought for a while, but he still did not understand how the newly mass-produced armor that looked very common in any way could resist the Great Disintegration Spell. Finally, he had to ask the Rune God like a school pupil asking his teacher for the truth.
The Rune God laughed and touched his long white beard like an old teacher and said, “The key to the problem is its uniform texture. Essentially, the Great Disintegration Spell has to find defects in the target structure and destroy them. But when the Great Disintegration Spell faces equipment with a uniform texture, it cannot exert its powers. This has long been known. For example, a shield can resist the Great Disintegration Spell by one polishing the shield with a piece of uniform crystal.”
Sui Xiong blinked; he really hadn’t known that.
Not only him, but also most gods had not already known that. Perhaps only the dwarf gods knew that armor with uniform textures could resist the Great Disintegration Spell.
“What about this armor? Its greatest feature is its uniformity,” the Rune God said. “Amazing! Its uniformity is almost like crystal… It never occurred to me that even metals could reach this point!”
Sui Xiong guessed the reason why the armor had such a uniform texture. The steel used to make the armor came from the molten iron flowing out of the blast furnace, and the molten iron needed to be stirred repeatedly during the production process, so the texture became more uniform. Compared to armor produced through other means, this type of armor had a more uniform texture.
“Unfortunately, this armor is still not entirely uniform,” the Rune God lamented.” If its texture becomes more uniform, the powers of the Great Disintegration Spell can not hover on it and destroy the parts that connect the armor. Instead, the Great Disintegration Spell will dissipate directly as soon as it hits the armor because there would be no “uneven places” to accommodate it.”
Sui Xiong nodded slightly, but his eyes brightened.
In his eyes, it was possible to make the armor more uniform. The first time, the molten iron produced from the blast furnace had to go back into the furnace again and then it was stirred repeatedly with more strength in the second blast furnace. Therefore, impurities would be removed, and the texture of the molten iron would become much more uniform.
As for the second blast furnace, it could be heated by magic power or by electric energy. Anyway, as long as the steel had been smelted, there were many ways to make its texture more uniform.
“It seems that you have already come up with an idea.” The Rune God immediately saw through Sui Xiong’s expression. He smiled and said, “When you make a new armor, you must let me see it!”
“I can make a new armor with more a uniform texture now, and you don’t have to wait for a long time.” Sui Xiong laughed, and his tentacles picked up the plates of the armor that had fallen to the ground earlier. He threw them into the air, suspended them with Divine Power and then spewed out flames to heat them up.
It was not difficult for him to burn iron and steel into molten iron with his strong Divine Power. After a while, there were no plates of the armor in the air, only a mass of hot and red molten iron.
Sui Xiong controlled the molten iron with his Divine Power, eliminated the unnecessary impurities, and finally got a new mass of molten iron. He re-condensed the molten iron and turned it into a new plate. Because he was only doing an experiment, he did not turn it into armor, only making it into the shape of a shield.
When this plate cooled down, Sui Xiong cast a Great Disintegration Spell at it immediately.
The Great Disintegration Spell, which had not been strengthened by Divine Power, hit the shield and dispersed in an instant without any power being left behind.
It was exactly what the Rune God had expected!
“Amazing! I never thought there would be such a wonderful thing in the world!” the Rune God said excitedly. “It’s amazing that the texture of the plate can be uniform enough to disperse the Great Disintegration Spell!”
Sui Xiong nodded and rolled up the shield with his tentacles. Then he frowned and said, “It became soft?”
“What?” The Rune God was stunned for a moment and took the shield from Sui Xiong. He pinched and knocked on the shield. Then he could not help but frown. “That’s really strange! Why would it become soft?”
