"Your Majesty, I will do my best."

Qiao An has long known that Roland brought himself to the Academy of Military Sciences for inspection today to play the role of a "quality inspector", and he himself was also very interested in the new generation of air combat mechanical armor designed and developed by the Far Eastern Academy of Military Sciences, so he was pregnant. Curious to follow everyone into the gate of the Academy of Military Sciences.

Jack opened the door of the laboratory, and a tall humanoid structure was displayed in the spacious hall, which was covered by a dust cover from head to toe, making it difficult to see the details.

Nearly a hundred workers in the laboratory lined up at the door to welcome your majesty to inspect.

Roland waved his hand and signaled that everyone needn't be polite and continue to work on his own affairs.

The staff unanimously breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly took their place and got busy.

Kafta made a trick, tore open the dust cover, and the new mechanical armor was completely exposed to the visitors.

Qiao An looked up and found that the height and shape of this construct were similar to the "Steel Cavalry", but it also had obvious characteristics.

First of all, the most eye-catching thing is that the new mechanical armor is crystal clear, like ice crystals, obviously not made of steel.

Secondly, the magic booster engine installed on the back of the new mechanical armor has a more complicated structure than the "Steel Cavalry". The exposed part of the body is hemispherical with many holes evenly distributed on the spherical surface, which should be the vector nozzle.

This cleverly designed device can adjust the flight angle and speed of the body by precisely adjusting the air flow of each nozzle.

Qiao An had seen a similar structure on the beholder.

The body of the beholder is a hard bony ball. The surface of the sphere is covered with dense pores. The function is the same as the vector boost engine, except that the power of the engine comes from the magic crystal turbine, and the beholder is sprayed through the mouth by the pores. The air sucked into the body gains flight power.

The last outstanding feature of the new mechanical armor is a pair of flying wings installed on both sides of the back booster engine, which can be retracted and folded, fully unfolded like swallow wings, and the well-designed aerodynamic layout can assist flight. No wonder this mechanical armor is code-named "wings". cavalry".

Jack picked up the pointer for blessing the spell, walked to the tarmac, and introduced the wing cavalry prototype to the visitors.

A straight magic beam shot from the end of the pointer, focusing on the almost transparent chest armor of the Wing Cavalry.

"Your Majesty, as you can see, the Wing Cavalry is a new model that is gradually transformed from the steel cavalry."

"The full load of the steel cavalry is as high as 20 tons, which is normal for a land warfare mechanical armor, but for a mechanical armor that aims to fly in the wind, it is too heavy, and it is too difficult to send it to the sky. High, we have to try to drastically reduce the weight of the new model."

"So is there a material that is similar in hardness, toughness, and plasticity to steel, but whose density is much lower than that of steel, suitable for casting flying mechanical armor?"

Mr. Jack asked and answered himself.

"We spent a lot of time and thought, and as a result, we really found a new material that perfectly meets our needs!"

"This composite material made of the fusion of green ice and quartz is called'crystal steel'!"

Having said this, Jack turned his head and looked at Qiao Ann, smiling.

"Dr. Vader, by coincidence, when we looked up the academic materials of Crystal Steel, we saw your related papers published in an old journal, and we were very inspired."

"You are too polite, Mr. Jack, that was an immature article published many years ago by me and two of Midgard University classmates, and I was only the second author of that paper, and I did something trivial in the research group. Work." Qiao An said embarrassedly.

"Compared with steel, using crystal steel to cast mechanical armor will increase the cost a lot?" Roland asked.

"It's more expensive, but it's not as exaggerated as you think. The purchase price of crystal steel per ton is only eight times that of the special steel used to make ground combat mechanical armor."

"Your Majesty, crystal steel is a compound of blue ice and quartz. Its hardness and ductility are similar to steel, and its density is only one-fifth of steel. It can be seen that only 4 tons of crystal steel are needed to make a mechanical armor embryo. The price is equivalent to 32 tons of special grade steel, and the cost of the embryonic body material has only increased by 60%, which is really not that much."

Kafta added in due course.

"In our Far East, are there resource conditions and industrial foundations for large-scale mining and smelting of crystal steel?" Roland asked next.

"The process of smelting crystal steel is not more complicated than smelting ordinary ferroalloys." Kafta explained, "As for mineral resources... Quartz sand needless to say, cheap minerals that can be seen everywhere, as for green ice, it actually means long-term exposure to magical power. The ancient glaciers that have undergone mutations are mostly produced in the severe cold regions of high latitudes."

"Hey! Didn't you say it's a coincidence? The northern mountainous area of ​​the Far East has been a poor country where trees don't bloom and birds don't **** since ancient times. There is nothing to do, but there is no shortage of glaciers and snow ridges that don't melt all year round!"

Jack smiled and helped.

"There are abundant green ice deposits in the Icewind Valley and Lucia Plateau in the Far East. We have already inquired about the dwarf lord Bratu of Icewind Valley and the lord Beowulf of Kitland. Both There are many Qingbing mines in the land. In addition, Icewind Valley and Kitland City are my country’s two major steel industry bases. There are no technical problems in mining and smelting Qingbing ore, and there is plenty of green ice. Supply, smelting crystal steel will be a matter of course."

Roland listened to Jack and Kafta's introduction, and walked around the mechanical armor made of crystal steel, his eyes flashing with strange brilliance.

Qiao An noticed the changes in the Emperor’s eyes, initially thinking that he was casting an appraisal spell, but soon realized that it was a higher level of power than magic, either a mythical ability or the detection function of the artifact. .

No one knows what mystery the Emperor's majesty has seen from the winged cavalry-like fuselage, but when he stopped, the faint smile on the corners of his lips made Jack, Kafta and all those involved in the "Winged Cavalry Project" The researchers secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the idea of ​​using crystal steel instead of steel to cast the wing cavalry has been approved by His Majesty the Emperor, even if the first pass of the acceptance check is passed.

"The weight of the wing cavalry can be reduced to about four tons with crystal steel. This is indeed a great improvement! Dr. Vader, what do you think?" Roland turned and looked at Qiao An.

"As you said, your majesty, crystal steel is not a particularly expensive material, so the main cost of the wing cavalry should be spent in other places, such as enchanting craftsmanship."

Qiao An applied a "mythological analysis technique" to the wing cavalry prototype, analyzing all the magic attached to this mechanical armor, and checking them one by one.
