Reactive armor is a type of special armor mounted on the surface of modern Earth's advanced tanks.
The reason why it exists is mainly because with the development of modern earth science and technology, the destructive power of tanks has become more and more powerful, the widespread application of individual anti-tank weapons, and the continuous upgrading of special ammunition such as armor-piercing projectiles and armor-breaking projectiles have made tanks more capable. Become extremely vulnerable.
If the tank is not vulnerable, the best way is to thicken the tank armor like crazy. But when the thickness of the tank armor reached thousands of millimeters, a problem arose—not a process problem, but a flexibility problem.
The armor is very heavy. The thicker the armor, the bulkier the tank will be and the worse its mobility will be. It may not even be able to go off-road or drive across bridges. If the tank does not become an immovable fixed turret, there is a limit to the thickness of the armor.
For this reason, the expensive reactive armor was invented - it greatly strengthens the tank's defense while ensuring that it does not reduce the tank's flexibility.
Reactive armor is said to be a kind of armor, but it is actually an inert explosive that is placed on the outer shell of the tank that is vulnerable to attack. When facing a small impact, there will be no change, but once the impact force reaches the set limit, an explosion will occur - using the explosion to reversely destroy the power of the "anti-tank weapon".
For example, when an armor-piercing projectile hits a tank, a metal jet with a speed of up to 8,000-10,000 meters per second will erupt. No matter how thick the tank armor is, it will be penetrated. However, when a tank is equipped with reactive armor, the reactive armor will explode at the same time as the armor-piercing projectile takes effect, producing explosives that are comparable to it, greatly eliminating the power of the high-speed metal jet of the armor-breaking projectile, and reducing the damage caused by the armor-breaking projectile to the tank.
To put it simply, reactive armor is a self-destructive device. When being attacked by a powerful attack, you pay a relatively small price in exchange for stronger defense in a short period of time.
Attack is the best defense. In a sense, reactive armor is equivalent to replacing defense with offense.
This characteristic of reactive armor greatly enhances tank defense and reduces the probability of tank destruction. It is adopted by many countries and many types of tanks.
Of course, it also has disadvantages:
First, the price is high and not all tanks can be installed.
Second, it cannot be used repeatedly. It will be scrapped after one use. If it is not replenished, it can only be used once. Third, if there are friendly infantry nearby, it is easy to be accidentally injured when the reactive armor is in effect.
But these shortcomings don't need to be considered for Richard. Now he only needs to follow the principles and use magic to create a prototype and test the effect.
…
Just do it.
Richard took out the prepared ink-like viscous non-Newtonian fluid from the space iron ring again, used magic to control it to generate a new shield, and suspended it in mid-air. Then he cast a spell and released several "single ring explosion" sparks that landed on the surface of the shield.
After doing this, Richard pushed the shield away to a safe distance, took out the spell salt, attached it to the shield, and then bombarded it with spell barrages.
The spell barrage flew out, hit the surface of the shield, and intense white light erupted.
"Boom-boom!"
Two explosions sounded, one after the other, so short that there was almost no interval between them—two explosions, more like one.
When the shock wave after the explosion slowly dissipated, Richard looked at the shield and saw that although the entire shield was in tatters, it... remained generally intact.
Walking closer and looking at the back of the shield, I found that there was no damage. The attack principle of the magic salt's armor-breaking bullets was not used at all.
Richard knew in his heart that he could control the triggering time of the "single ring explosion" spark on the shield by himself. Just now, he made the explosion slightly slower than the magic salt to take effect. And if he allows the explosion and magic salt to take effect at the same time, or even blows up the magic salt particles in advance so that the destructive force cannot hit him, then the damage to the shield will be smaller, and he can achieve absolute victory in the shield and sword competition.
Of course, having said that, this kind of absolute victory can only happen once - if the shield cannot be restored to its perfect state in time, and if the "single ring explosion" is not used to continue to disguise the reactive armor, the second defense will be greatly reduced.
From this point of view, the stronger one is the sword.
Richard has no qualms about this. After all, whether it is a sword or a shield, it is his own method. Whichever is stronger can be used as long as it can raise the lower limit of his own strength and can play the expected role when facing the enemy.
After briefly tidying up the spell testing ground, Richard walked back to the main laboratory, thinking about something as he walked.
There should still be room for improvement in the spell salt attack method and the non-Newtonian fluid defense method, and there will be time to continue to improve in the future. Additionally, both need to be given names.
Considering the attack method of magic salt, magic salt occupies the core and functions as an explosion. It can be called... salt explosion.
Yeah, salt blast.
As for the non-Newtonian fluid defense method, which takes the form of a shield and uses the principle of reactive armor, it can be called... reactive shield.
Well, reaction shield.
After the name is determined, it is time to use the reaction shield.
Since the reaction shield is made of a large amount of non-Newtonian fluid, in a critical battle, taking it out and condensing it from the space iron ring is a waste of time and can easily cause trouble. One solution is to carry non-Newtonian fluids with you and store them under your clothes, or in the layers of your clothes.
In this way, if a dangerous situation is encountered, it can be called quickly.
In addition, there is another advantage, that is, clothing that stores non-Newtonian fluids can be used as liquid body armor. The effect is better than the Kevlar fiber body armor on the modern earth. It can basically prevent sneak attacks, plots, and The possibility of a knife in the back.
However, if you really want to do this, you must design the style of the clothes to ensure that the non-Newtonian fluid is stored in a way that is not too obvious, so as not to be regarded as a weirdo or to be wary in advance.
Thinking about this, Richard walked into the main laboratory, walked to the circular experimental table, took out a papyrus scroll and spread it out, holding a brush while thinking about it, writing and drawing, and trying to design clothes suitable for combat.
"Well, this should be regarded as a different kind of wizard robe." Richard held the quill and muttered to himself.
As far as he knew, there were large magic props like wizard robes on the east coast. A real wizard's robe, from the material to the lining, to the special buttons, to the decorative brooch, are all magic materials and are extremely expensive. Except for a very few wizards, no one could afford to wear it.
And his kind can be regarded as a civilian version of wizard robes.
"Shashasha..."
After drawing a few more strokes on the papyrus scroll, Richard suddenly thought of something.
He turned his head suddenly and looked at Pandora. Richard thought that since he was going to wear combat clothing, logically, he should get one for Pandora.
"Pandora!"
Richard thought and shouted.
"Huh?" Pandora responded.
Richard saw Pandora wiping the scale diligently.
He commissioned Alex to have the craftsman build that scale. Due to the poor craftsmanship, the scale was extremely large and heavy. The two balance arms are like two swords, and the support in the middle is like a pillar, which is extremely ugly. If it weren't for the adjustment, the accuracy was still good, and he would have really lost it.
At this time, Pandora was wiping the scale. When her name was called, she immediately turned around and looked over curiously. Because the attention was distracted, the strength of the hand was not well controlled. Visible to the naked eye, the place where the scale was grabbed was dented with a "click", and the metal stubble was exposed, piercing Pandora's pink skin.
Then…
And then... there was no more.
What kind of dragon is it if it can be injured casually
As for the idea of using liquid body armor to protect a dragon, forget it...
Pandora asked Richard, "What's wrong?"
"Well..." Richard covered his forehead and said out loud, "That... it's nothing, I just think... well, you work very neatly and wipe things very clean, so... keep up the good work."
"Oh, okay." Pandora nodded vigorously, turned back, and continued working happily. As he was wiping, he found that the scale was a little tilted, as if she had damaged it. He quickly glanced over secretly, thinking that he had not been discovered, and immediately straightened it carefully with his hands, put it back in place, and wiped the rest of the things with a guilty conscience.
Richard took everything in his eyes and pretended not to see it. While continuing to design the battle clothes, he thought to himself: "It seems that the list given to Alex next time needs to be added to a scale. Well, two. Taiwan Bar…”
