Chapter 1094: Seeking the Secret in the Sand Sea (16)
The rod was previously wrapped in a thick layer of crystal, and the light coming at it was refracted by the crystal, making the core appear much thicker than it actually was.
But now, after the crystal layer has been completely removed, this "giant stick" has revealed its true colors:
It actually shrank out of thin air!
That's right! This huge iron rod, which was made of two kinds of steel by Segrad at the time of casting, wrapped in layers of inner core and outer skin, and was as thick as a human thigh, actually shrank out of thin air!
It's now just two fingers thick, and it looks as slender as the handle of a normal spear!
From the thickness of the thigh to the thickness of the finger, its volume has shrunk horizontally about thirty times!
The casting of this "giant stick" is obviously real steel! It is steel, not a sponge! Why can the volume of steel be so compressed? What is a wonderful phenomenon that transcends the common sense of physics?!
"What the hell did you do?!" Daddy Odin said to Segrade in an almost cursed tone, though there was more surprise than reproach.
"I don't know about meow. The leopard man youth was also confused: "I just wanted to do it according to this step, but I didn't expect it to become this kind of meow" "Give it to me!" Dad grabbed the iron rod in one hand and took it in his hand to observe it carefully.
This "iron rod" is as heavy as it looks - no, an iron rod made of pure Uzi steel should be much heavier than this. The rod was only a little heavier than a wooden rod, but much lighter than a long iron rod of the same type. The thigh-thick iron rod should have been a hundred times heavier, and Segrad had almost had enough strength to lift it up and send it into the furnace when he had forged it.
Why did it get so light, and where did all the rest of its mass and weight go?!
Daddy Odin looked at the crystal chips on the ground, and the bored Segrade was cleaning them up with a broom and shovel. They also look light, almost weightless, and the real culprits who "rob" the quality of the iron rods are not them, at least.
Daddy Odin furrowed his brow even deeper, and raised his iron rod again, taking a closer look in the daylight.
This iron rod is also very different from ordinary iron rods. If you look closely, it is not as black and shiny as mortal iron, but slightly transparent - transparent Uzi steel?!
The spiral-shaped outer skin of the iron rod has been transformed into a very fine spiral pattern on the body of the rod, which is skillfully integrated with the inner core of the iron rod. The inner core of the iron rod has countless layers of rings like tree rings, which are simply infinitely overlapping cylinders, and the further they go inward, the lower the transparency. Only the center of the entire iron rod, a small core as thin as a needle, is completely opaque.
The crystal clear weapon looked like a black rod of glass, but Daddy Odin was sure it was indeed made of steel. The question was how flexible this "glass and steel" was, and the old man was worried that it would be as fragile and fragile as glass and could not be used as a weapon.
In short, it's a weapon full of mysteries that even the well-informed Odin dad can't fathom through. The only way to figure out its secret is to try the knife.
"Solar!" the old man called out of the window, "You try the knife with this." By the way, let's go down to the rock outside the house!" At that time, Solar happened to be sitting on the big rock outside the house, and when he heard his father's call, he immediately jumped up: "Daddy, don't be kidding!" Solar, who didn't know anything about what was going on, took the "glass" stick, and the doubts on his face were no less than Odin's father: "Isn't that a fossil of a giant's bone? It's your own weapon, and it's your responsibility to see the end!" (Meow as if the weapon was going to break.) Segrade looked uneasy, and wanted to go out to see the situation for a long time. He put aside his work and rushed out of the house almost crawling on the ground.
"Are you ready, my friend. "Solal had already raised his iron rod, ready to use this seemingly fragile stick to knock it at the hard fossil.
Segrade swallowed. The "glass" weapon that he had worked so hard to create was likely to shatter directly under the blow, making his more than six hours of hard work come to naught. But if it's really such a fragile and useless weapon, it's not worth the rarity to let it break.
With the same apprehension, Solal mustered up his strength and raised his "glass" stick to slash down at the boulder!
It raised a whooshing wind, more discreet than a normal weapon. It weighed as much as a wooden rod, and Solal could imagine the glass rod shattering in an instant as he swung his weapon!
Syllable!
However, nothing happened!
Not only did the "glass" rod not break, it didn't even break or bend!
It didn't crash into the stone and flick its knife, nor did it come out of the hand of the magic swordsman Solal because of the exertion, nor did it stop on the surface of the stone;
And the stone was not crushed, not broken by a powerful impact!
No, none of the physical phenomena that people could have predicted, not a single thing happened!
The strange phenomenon that Solar saw before his eyes was that the glass rod had sunk three feet into the stone!
It was a perfectly vertical groove that stretched from the point of contact of the lower stick to the ground! The fossil of a giant's bone, which should have been as hard as steel, was now dug into a straight groove like jelly!
As if crushed by the weight of 10,000 tons, some stone powder flew out of the pit, telling in detail the terrifying destructive power caused by this seemingly inconspicuous blow! It seems very unreasonable and unscientific, as if a huge and heavy steel rod as thick as a thigh is highly compressed into a small wooden rod, but it retains its mass and weight, and slams it on the stone with all its might!
"Quantum Collapse" seemed to understand the principle of this weapon, and Daddy Odin not only sighed.
"What is a quantum collapse meow?" is such a high-tech word, Segrid has never even heard of it.
"Let's put it this way," Daddy scratched his head, his gray hair a little disheveled, "the enchanted power of this weapon works on itself. It created some subspace within it and retracted a portion of itself. After this explanation, Segrade finally understood. No wonder the thick iron rod shrank into the thin rod it is now. It turns out that the iron rod is still the same thickness as it was, but part of the iron rod is indented into the subspace.
Striking someone with this slender glass rod can exert the same power as a huge iron rod - no, the thin rod is even more lethal, because the moment it hits the object, it creates a much smaller contact surface than the one created by the huge iron rod. The same force (momentum) is released on a smaller contact surface, and the power can be said to increase geometrically, which is very terrifying!
Even better, the part of the weapon that collapses in subspace does not affect reality (normal space). In other words, the mass of the steel compressed into the subspace is already stored in the zĂ i subspace. Therefore, its essence is obviously a huge iron rod as thick as a thigh, but the weight is only slightly heavier than a small wooden stick!
"Oh my God. Solal instantly understood the danger of this weapon, and sighed in his heart!
This weapon made of "glass" steel can be wielded easily by even a weak man, yet it can cause as much damage as a giant iron rod (and even more so than a large iron bar). If this weapon is mass-produced and circulated on the market, the world will change dramatically!
Fortunately, the amount of material required to manufacture such weapons is large and expensive, and it is not easy to manufacture in large quantities. On top of that, the method of its manufacture is currently known only to Segrade and Daddy Odin. As long as this secret is kept and this secret recipe is prevented from circulating, it should not cause a big commotion.
"Anyway, what kind of nerves did you have to know to make such a thing?" Daddy Odin crudely patted the leopard man on the shoulder.
"I didn't know it was all a gut meow. The leopard man young Segrad took his iron rod from Solal and said thoughtfully, "Maybe this is the guidance of Karma (fate)." "We don't make weapons. Father Odin looked at the sky and muttered in a deep voice, "It's the weapons that make themselves." We just listened to the materials and forged the weapons according to their will. Segrade listened intently without saying a word.
"Very well, I'll admit it, you kid does have a talent for making weapons. You can hear the voices of the materials, and that's the best proof of that. Odin Daddy smiled and looked at the fiberglass rod: "First of all, congratulations." You have created a completely original new material, and you should be proud of it. Everything must have a [name] in order to establish its righteousness. What do you want to name this new weapon material?" Segrade scratched his head a little embarrassed: "I have to name it, let me think about meow." Since this is made of Uzi steel mixed with other raw materials, and it looks so much like glass, how can it be called Uzi glass?" Odin Daddy and the magic swordsman Solal on the side shook their heads at the same time, the name was terrible. It's apt to call it glass, but it makes the weapon sound fragile and lacking in personality.
The material is actually much stronger and tougher than it seems, and it deserves a better name.
"That's right. Segrade had a flash of inspiration and thought of something.
