The difficulty of "composite armor" and "fence armor" technologies is not high, at least not as high as "spell salt".
To explain it simply, composite armor is the opposite of homogeneous armor.
Homogeneous armor is armor made of a single material, such as steel armor, aluminum alloy armor, etc. It has good defense power, but if you want to greatly improve the defense power, you can only continuously increase the thickness of the armor.
Composite armor is armor composed of more than two layers of protective materials with different properties. Because the protective materials are different, their physical properties are also different. When an external attack attempts to penetrate, different physical properties will make a big difference, thus interfering with the direction of the attack.
When a shell hits the composite armor, it appears that it penetrates the first layer of armor vertically, but when it touches the second layer of armor, the penetration angle of the shell may change due to the difference in hardness of the second layer of armor. Even stuck directly between the armor.
Composite armor uses this technology to greatly improve armor defense without increasing the thickness of the armor.
Fence armor is even simpler. To explain it in one sentence, it means to defend and detonate in advance.
The fence armor usually installed on the tank is like a wire bird cage covering the outer shell of the tank. This kind of existence is naturally unable to defend against any powerful attacks - even a small hammer can flatten a metal fence. However, it can allow some powerful attacks to explode in power in advance, thus avoiding being destroyed.
For example, if a rocket hits a tank, it needs to pass through the fence armor before it can hit the real armor of the tank. Although the fence armor has extremely weak defense, it still exists. Even if it can be smashed with a small hammer, it must be flattened before passing.
And will the rocket carry a hammer with it, ready to smash the fence armor
Obviously not, so if you want to penetrate the fence armor, you can only detonate the projectile in advance to explode its power.
In this way, the fence armor may be blown to pieces, but at least half of the power of the projectile will be wasted out of thin air, and the rest can be used to act on the real armor behind the fence armor that applies a variety of "reaction" and "composite" technologies. , so it's basically impossible to penetrate.
So, how to achieve this using magic
According to Richard's conjecture, it is not difficult to realize it.
Composite armor can be made using different non-Newtonian fluids, and the number of layers of composite armor can be flexibly determined according to different combat situations.
The fence armor can be simulated using wind spells to create an air wall to block the reaction shield.
But just because it's not difficult doesn't mean it can be done easily. Whether you are trying to create a new, qualified non-Newtonian fluid or test the optimal defense data of an air wall, a lot of simulation experiments are required - without a lot of time, there will be no results.
This requires serious study.
In addition, the sixth one is the improvement and upgrade of the Eden energy system. This is also the last research that Richard wants to conduct so far.
Now in the Garden of Eden, the lighting system uses electric lamps, oil lamps, and candles in parallel. The reason is due to lack of electricity. After all, electricity currently mainly relies on lead-acid batteries, which are charged by Pandora's hand-cranked generator.
Therefore, the source of energy is mechanical energy, or better yet, biological energy (the energy in Pandora's body).
In this way, unless Pandora is designed as a generator, there will be no big progress and it will not be able to meet the growing needs in the Garden of Eden.
In Richard's opinion, if possible, making a steam engine or internal combustion engine would save some trouble.
However, both steam engines and internal combustion engines rely on fossil fuels—steam engines burn coal, and internal combustion engines burn oil. Both of these resources are not widely used in the current world, at least on the East Coast, and are difficult to find. Unless he is prepared to transform himself into a geologist and miner and spend several years personally mining, it will be difficult to obtain a large supply.
How does this problem need to be solved
Or maybe the improvement and upgrade plan of the Eden energy system should be postponed for the time being
Richard felt that this issue needed to be thought about carefully.
…
Richard was busy, constantly busy, thinking and conducting various researches.
Just like that, it was already a day later when we came out of the Garden of Eden again.
…
In the early morning of a new day, Richard walked out of the Garden of Eden, walked out of the temporary cabin, and walked onto the deck.
Here, Richard saw Jack, the short sailor he had seen before, kneeling on the deck, surrounded by a large group of sailors. Captain Morgan was standing in front of Jack, waving his whip hard and beating Jack. The skin is torn apart.
"Bah bang bang!"
Jack screamed and begged for mercy: "Ship... Captain, please spare me, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong."
"Know that you are wrong?" Captain Morgan snorted coldly, and spanked harder. While spanking, he said: "Since you know that you are wrong, why don't you do it well? Yesterday, I transferred you to the kitchen to help, and asked you to cook with the other chefs. Rice. The first lunch was extremely unpalatable, forget it, why was the second lunch even worse, everyone who ate it had diarrhea! Are you planning to poison everyone?"
"No, I just accidentally undercooked something, so..." Jack explained.
"It's all quibbles!" Captain Morgan was very angry. He swung the whip continuously and hit Jack again and again. "You don't know how to cook, don't you know whether it's raw or cooked? Put the food on the table. Before, you wouldn’t have tasted it yourself? Did you know that you cooked a dinner that left several sailors on my ship still lying in hammocks! Can you do something for them? Huh?!”
"I... Oops!" Jack wanted to say something else, but after saying just one word, Captain Morgan whipped him to the ground, rolling on the ground in pain.
"Bah bang bang!"
Captain Morgan continued whipping for a long time and stopped when he felt tired.
Jack was lying on the deck, his clothes in tatters and covered with wounds. He slowly raised his head, looked at Captain Morgan in fear and said, "Captain, you..."
"Hmph, I'll give you another chance." Captain Morgan pointed at Jack and said, "Go to the kitchen immediately and make breakfast for one person. If you can satisfy me, forget your mistake. Just work hard in the kitchen from now on. If it still doesn't work, huh, then you are ready to hang on the mast for a day today!"
"This!" Jack trembled all over after hearing this.
Captain Morgan's eyes widened slightly: "What, you're not happy?"
"No, no, I'm going, I'm going." Jack struggled to stand up, wiped the blood on his face, and staggered towards the kitchen.
Many sailors, first mate, second mate, third mate, bosun and Captain Morgan were waiting on the deck.
In a corner of the deck, Richard stood and watched. Next to it, there were other passengers watching the fun. One part is from the lower cabin, and the other part is from the upper cabin. The clothes are slightly gorgeous and the complexion is relatively good. They were discussing quietly, laughing from time to time.
"I said, I bet you that something will happen to that poor little sailor."
"I won't make a bet with you, because I know it will be like this without you having to say it. Look at the look of that short sailor, could he be cooking material?"
"That's right. He's so skinny and small. I doubt he even knows how to eat, let alone cook."
"Not necessarily. The reason why you are so thin may be because you were a child. So, you may be able to eat when you eat, but when it comes to breastfeeding, hehe, you may not be able to!"
"Hahaha, you guy..."
Laughter rang out, and Captain Morgan from afar heard it and frowned slightly, but when he saw that it was a passenger, he didn't react much. He has always been cold towards passengers. Although he will not treat passengers as roughly as members of the ship, he will not communicate much. Therefore, he just glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze, then turned to look in the direction of the kitchen, waiting patiently for Sailor Jack to bring him something.
