January 27th, 3: 00 PM.
Shi Lei came to Li Chai's temporary R&D and Manufacturing Center, which was Cui Hu Building.
Shi Lei wanted to understand the progress of the third generation of The First Light.
After obtaining the Silver God of War's information and the Snow Silver Metal formula from the Kampas region, Shi Lei immediately sent it to Li Chai through the Neutrino Network, allowing Li Chai to research the possibility of using the Snow Silver Metal to create The First Light.
When Shi Lei arrived at Cui Hu Building, Li Chai happened to be walking out and bumped into Shi Lei, "Stone Head, you're here!"
Shi Lei asked curiously, "Little Li, where are you going?"
Li Chai was wearing work attire and had a wrench in his hand, looking like he was about to hit someone.
"Uh …" Li Chai quickly put down the wrench and said, "Stone Head, I'm looking for inspiration!"
"Looking for inspiration?" Shi Lei looked at Li Chai strangely, "Little Li, what inspiration are you looking for?
Right, the Snow Silver formula that I sent you before, can it be used to create The First Light? "
Li Cai was instantly energized by the question about machinery. He beamed with joy and said, "Of course you can!
Not only can it be used, it's also very suitable!
Stone Head, I have to say, where did you get such an excellent memory metal?
This metal is a perfect match for The First Light! "
"Oh?" Shi Lei did not understand. Why was Snow Silver a perfect match for The First Light?
Li Chai turned around and led the way into the R&D and Manufacturing Center. He ordered, "Izur, project all the information!"
"Yes, Mr. Li."
Li Chai set Izur's voice to be that of a middle-aged man, which was very suitable for a laboratory assistant.
Izur immediately projected all the information into their LIP lens processor. Li Chai explained the information.
"Stone Head, Snow Silver has a very good hardness. According to the Mohs hardness scale, Snow Silver has reached 9, which means that Snow Silver has the same hardness as sapphires.
Apart from a very small number of items, such as diamonds and Mössen gems, which are harder than snow silver, the rest of the items have a hard time leaving a mark on the surface of snow silver. "Li Cai excitedly explained.
Shi Lei frowned. "That's not right!
Little Li, this isn't right!
I remember that The First Light's Alloy Heavy Sword. Snow Silver's Heavy. Snow Silver's.
Previously, in the Campas region, the Aurora had encountered Snow Silver several times, and had indeed left very obvious traces on the surface of the Snow Silver metal.
Li Chai laughed, "Stone Head, do you know the material of The First Light's Alloy Heavy Sword?"
"No." Shi Lei obviously did not know.
"The First Light's Alloy Heavy Sword is a mixture of tungsten steel and chromium alloy. Its Mohs hardness scale is also 9!" Li Chai said with a smile.
With the same hardness, the Aurora's heavy alloy sword would definitely be able to leave a mark on the surface of the snow silver metal!
Shi Lei coughed twice to hide the fact that he was a mechanical noob.
"Little Li, since the two have the same Mohs hardness, why do you say that Snow Silver and The First Light are a perfect match?"
"Because Snow Silver is a memory metal. It also has special physical properties. In other words, it has completely opposite properties," Li Chai said excitedly.
However, Shi Lei's face was completely blank. How could Shi Lei understand these things?
Li Chai quickly explained, "Stone Head, let me give you an example. Under normal circumstances, flames cannot burn in water, right?"
Shi Lei nodded. Under normal circumstances, this was indeed the case.
Of course, there were some special circumstances where even in water, flames could still burn.
For example, in the Fifth Ring Sports Festival in Aoya, wasn't there a scene where flames were lit in water?
"Snow Silver has the opposite property of burning in water!
Snow Silver has a Mohs hardness of 9, but it also has the same ductility and toughness as metallic silver.
Metallic silver's Mohs hardness is only 2.5-3, but it has very good ductility and toughness.
This means that Snow Silver is not like sapphire, which has a high hardness, but is very easy to break and has almost no resistance to bending, "Li Chai explained a lot.
However, Shi Lei still did not seem to understand.
Li Chai slapped his forehead. He was speechless at Shi Lei's mechanical noob. He could only use a more realistic example to explain.
"Stone Head, you know about sapphire, right?
Forget it, let's not talk about sapphire. You definitely don't understand.
Let's talk about glass. Normal glass has a Mohs hardness of 6-6.5. It is basically impossible for objects with a hardness lower than this to leave a mark on the surface of the glass.
However, glass is very fragile. Even if we use ice with a Mohs hardness of 2-3, we can still break the glass, right? "Li Chai explained again.
Shi Lei understood this time. Glass was harder than ice, but ice could also break glass.
"What does this mean?"
Li Chai explained patiently, "We can now imagine Snow Silver as glass, and then use ice to break the Snow Silver.
Although the strength of ice is enough to break the glass, the glass will not shatter. Instead, it will suddenly change its physical properties. Like magic, it will have the softness and toughness of silver.
At the same time, it also has the recovery ability of memory metal.
In other words, even if The First Light's alloy epee is chipped by an enemy with a diamond drill, the alloy epee will not break, and will automatically recover. "
Shi Lei was slightly disappointed. Li Chai explained for so long, and it only had such a small effect?
Li Chai seemed to see Shi Lei's disappointment. He continued, "Stone Head, perhaps you think that the Snow Silver's effect is very small?
What if we use Snow Silver to make The First Light's entire body?
Especially the shock absorber!
Once the Snow Silver is used to make the shock absorber, the problem of The First Light's shock absorber breaking or breaking will not occur again.
In other words, it is like in online games, having equipment that will never break or wear out. "
"What the f * ck?" Shi Lei finally showed a shocked expression. "Little Li, you're not joking?"
Li Chai shook his head, then picked up a spring as thin as a strand of hair from the workbench. "Stone Head, this is the model I made with Snow Silver."
"What's the use of this thing?" Shi Lei did not understand.
Li Chai pulled the hair-thin Snow Silver spring with both hands. Although it was only as thin as a strand of hair, due to its high hardness, it took a lot of strength to pull it open.
"Stone Head, look carefully. Sapphire, tungsten steel, and chromium alloy of the same hardness will definitely not have similar properties."
Li Chai pulled the spring. The spring's length had already exceeded three times its original length. When the spring gradually reached its limit, Li Chai still did not stop.
The hair-thin spring was stretched to six times its original length. Li Chai laughed. "Stone Head, do you see this?
The perfect combination of toughness and hardness. This is something that should be impossible, but it is happening right in front of our eyes! "
Shi Lei was a mechanical noob, so he did not understand the meaning behind this.
Li Chai continued to exert strength with both hands. He suddenly pulled the hair-thin spring, changing the structure of the spring until it became a thin string. Only then did he stop exerting strength.
"Stone Head, now is the time to witness a miracle!"
Li Chai used one hand to pick up the hair-thin string. Due to its high hardness, it did not soften like a strand of hair. Instead, it stood straight.
If this Snow Silver Metal Wire was used as a weapon, it would definitely not have any problems piercing into a human body.
The Snow Silver Metal Wire in Li Chai's hand slowly changed from its originally straight state to a spiral shape. After a while, the Snow Silver Metal Wire turned back into its original spring.
Shi Lei was really shocked this time!
"Izur, how long did it take for it to return to its original shape?" Shi Lei asked Izur through the LIP lens information processor.
"Sir, it took exactly sixty seconds.
Li Chai has done many experiments. The recovery time of the Snow Silver Metal is always sixty seconds, "Izur replied Shi Lei.
Even if Shi Lei was a mechanical noob, he now understood the value of the Snow Silver Metal.
Just as Li Chai said, the most basic application was to use the Snow Silver Metal to make cold weapons. This kind of cold weapon could achieve a state of permanent sharpness without wear and tear.
If it was made into a kitchen knife, no matter if it was a hundred years, two hundred years, or even a thousand years, this kitchen knife would always be sharp.
It did not matter if it was used to chop bones or cut the floor.
As long as it was not used to chop diamonds and cause damage to the body, then it really had the property of never wearing out.
However, using the Snow Silver Metal to make cold weapons was really the most basic application.
Moreover, how could such an excellent material be used to make cold weapons on a large scale?
Shi Lei calmed down a little and patted Li Chai's arm, praising, "Little Li, well done!"
Li Chai scratched his head, "Stone Head, you are the one who obtained the complete set of information.
Otherwise, I would not have been able to make such a miraculous metal like the Snow Silver Metal. "
"Oh right, Little Li, all the components of The First Light can be made of the Snow Silver Metal, right?" Shi Lei asked.
If they had the The First Light made of the Snow Silver Metal, the shock absorbers of The First Light used by Shi Lei, Ma Liang, and Zheng San Pao in the Kampas area would not be permanently damaged.
At the same time, if the fourth generation electromagnetic cannons and ruby laser cannons were also made of the Snow Silver Metal, then the fifth experimental body would not be a threat to them!
Li Chai nodded affirmatively, "Stone Head, I have already made a preliminary design. The third generation of The First Light will definitely be made of the Snow Silver Metal."
"Little Li, I need an answer. If the Snow Silver Metal is used to make The First Light, then what kind of performance will The First Light have?" Shi Lei asked Li Chai.
