Animal bones are inherently biological materials with many unique physical characteristics. The mutant creature's skeleton is even more surprisingly strong. The bones of some special types of mutated organisms are even harder than high-strength alloys and have excellent toughness. The most important thing is that it is much lighter than metal. This is extremely important. As a lightweight material, it will greatly reduce the burden on the light armor engine, so that the power characteristics of the light armor will be significantly improved!
However, as a special material, bone is very difficult to process due to its uneven texture, let alone processing it into various accessories for light armor. The difficulty can be imagined. Even if it is reluctantly processed into the style of accessories, its texture often causes uneven stress on these accessories. They are not as strong as imagined, but have great randomness.
The cost is too high and it is difficult to obtain satisfactory finished products, so aggregates have never been taken seriously.
Nannan's grandfather was originally a bone carver and lived in poverty. Once, a customer came to him with a piece of dragonfly paste and provided him with a schematic diagram, asking him to use this piece of dragonfly bone to make the shape required on the schematic diagram. At the same time, he requested that the stronger the product, the better the result. The higher the reward.
Nannan's grandfather has been working with bones since he was a child. He has been immersed in this art for many years and is very familiar with the texture and structure of bones. Soon, he made the product according to the other party's requirements. After testing with special instruments, it was found that the mechanical properties of the product were excellent in all aspects, which surprised the customer. Nannan’s grandfather also received a high reward for this!
Since then, more and more people have come to him, and he has not given up studying, and his skills are improving day by day. In a fixed society, his reputation is becoming increasingly prominent! but. Although he has been making bone-made light armor accessories for others, because he is not familiar with light armor, everyone who comes to the door has to bring their own schematics so that he can make qualified works based on the schematics.
All who knew him called him the Master Bonesmith.
Life is getting better and better, and his reputation is becoming more and more prominent, and more and more organizations are wooing him. Various methods have been used by people, but he refuses to take soft and hard advice, and others are in vain. Later, he was targeted by an organization. Different from the mild methods used by previous organizations, the methods used by this organization are extremely cruel, bloody and violent! Nannan's parents died in this accident. Nannan's grandfather escaped with her and lived in the orbital circle.
He quickly found a home again in this violent place, where his skills made him highly respected. No one can compete with the Bonesmith, in orbital circles. No organization dares to attack these people with strange abilities, but they are protected by the clan. Even the masters of the sect were very polite to them.
Of course, this does not mean that it is absolutely safe. For example, the group of people Ye Zhong met last time threatened Doctor Lu. If their lives are threatened, some people will always take risks. What's more, who among the people here is not a desperado
That’s why Nannan’s grandfather installed an extremely advanced warning device at home!
Bone carving is an extremely rare and unpopular form of carving. I am afraid that no academic institution will regard it as a subject. It is only passed down among folk artists. Withered day by day!
Heizi was the apprentice of Nannan's grandfather after he came to the orbital circle. He was hard-working, steadfast and willing to learn, which endeared him to the old man. The only regret is that Heizi is too old to learn this, and due to his limited talent, his progress is slow.
Seeing that Ye Zhong was listening with rapt attention, Heizi couldn't help but get even more excited and kept talking: "Look at this. This is the back shell of the locust. It looks a lot like metal, but I have tested it and there is no trace of metal inside. . This thing is extremely hard and has excellent toughness. It is most suitable for use as a shield for light armor. The most important thing is that it is very light. Try it!"
A slightly concave shell with two or three desktop-sized pieces, the surface of the shell shines with a metallic luster. The whole shell is blue-black, with bright yellow stripes like waves densely covered on it, which is very gorgeous. Ye Zhong knocked twice. The sound was crisp and clear. It was indeed very hard. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the edge of the shell. With a little force, the entire locust shell was easily lifted up.
It is indeed very light. If this thing can really be used as a shield, it will undoubtedly greatly reduce the load on the light armor engine. It can also greatly shorten the reaction speed of the arm holding the shield. However, the only thing worth worrying about is that I hope he really can. Kuroko said the geological ground is hard enough to serve as a shield.
"This is the mechanical arm of the light armor. Look at these five fingers. They are all hollowed out from the leg bones of the fragrant salamander. In addition to being hard in texture, the surface of the leg bones of the fragrant salamander has a natural frosted layer. It can play an anti-slip role. The processing of the fragrant salamander leg bones is also easier." Heizi picked it up at his fingertips.
If a mech armor is made entirely of bone materials, like Kuroko's mech armor, as long as it has a similar engine, it will definitely have superior performance in terms of speed. Speed is a sharp weapon for victory. ! If it was deployed on a large scale, Ye Zhong felt a little numb when he thought about the light armor made of all bones flying at super speed all over the sky.
"How many of these can you make in a day?" Ye Chong asked carefully.
"How many can be made in one day?" Heizi shook his head: "You should say how many days it takes to make an accessory! Every time someone sends in the raw materials, they are completely different. The master must carefully analyze the raw materials before starting to make them. Then design a reasonable layout, which usually takes several days! If you encounter a kind of aggregate that you have never seen before, it will take even longer! Then comes rough machining. After rough machining, it needs to be immersed in special In medicine, for example, the hardening liquid that makes the bone texture harder is called strengthening liquid by the master.
These strengthening liquids were prepared by Auntie Guan, who is the most powerful pharmacist in the area. The soaking time depends on the aggregate, usually about seven to twelve days.
Then comes the finishing. Finishing is the most complicated process here, and it is almost completely handmade. If there is a slight mistake, it will be over, and all the previous work will be in vain, so the master will usually ask the customer to provide at least two copies. The ingredients are made in two portions at a time, so there is some room for maneuver here.
Look at the accessories for the light armor on the floor. They were all made by the master before. Each time he successfully made one of the two he handed over to the customer, the remaining one was placed here. These are all the master's works since he started doing this. Alas, he almost lost them all in that disaster. Fortunately, the master was lucky, and these things were sent back by the people of the sect!
It usually takes about half a month to make an ordinary accessory. If it's a large piece like the main body of the light armor, it will take even longer. I remember that the longest-lasting accessory master worked on it for nearly three months! "
"So long?" Ye Zhong was a little surprised. You must know that in this era of highly developed technology and emphasis on efficiency, the entire production process of an ordinary light armor does not take more than ten minutes, and this one accessory takes half a month. You can imagine the time. However, Ye Chong immediately breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that large-scale production was impossible. For Ye Chong, this was undoubtedly good news. If large-scale production can be carried out, the first person to configure this kind of all-bone light armor will definitely be the master of Orbital Circle. And since he has just caused such a big trouble, he is probably afraid that a manhunt for him will start soon. The stronger the clan is, the greater the danger he will be in! Ye Chong still knows this truth!
"How is the performance of the all-bone light armor?" Ye Zhong asked Heizi. Heizi owns an all-bone light armor, so he must be very aware of its advantages and disadvantages.
Heizi pondered for a moment and said: "It's really hard to say. Generally speaking, bone light armor is much stronger than metal light armor in terms of lightness and speed, and its battery life is also much higher! But in terms of hardness, although the bone material has been through The processing of strengthening liquid is still a little worse than that of metals whose technology has been very mature. Therefore, bone light armor is generally not suitable for head-to-head encounters, but it is more suitable to use fluid methods.
Of course, I'm just talking about general. The performance of bone light armor mainly depends on the type of bone material. Among the bone materials, they are often very different from each other. Some of the best bone materials may even be stronger than ultra-high-strength metals. The hardness of the aggregate must be strong, but the processing of this kind of aggregate is usually very difficult! And this kind of top quality material is usually hard to come across!
But there is a very important point. The cost of making bone armor is not at the same level as ordinary light armor, and the supply and maintenance are also very inconvenient. If the bone accessories are broken, there is basically no possibility of repair. Just replace it with a brand new one! Therefore, unless you are a bonesmith yourself, it would look too silly to pilot a bone armor to do some ordinary work."
Ye Zhong couldn't help but nodded secretly, it really made sense! The advantages and disadvantages are both outstanding, but this is not the time for Ye Zhong to think about these things. Even if a Blackbird is placed in front of Ye Zhong, Ye Zhong will accept it without hesitation! What's more, it's bone armor that I've never heard of before.
Muji's voice came right in: "Scanning completed, there are a total of 372 recommended options for various accessories and three options. Ye Zi, do you need detailed information?"
