Chapter 167 Roche Alloy

Chapter 167 Roche Alloy
Huaguo has promised to provide human resources, so Lin Ye needs to confirm with Gray and others how many manpower is needed for the R&D center and the arsenal, and what type of manpower is needed.

In the last days, the rational allocation of resources is more important than anything else.

He walked along the passage to the gate of the weapons research institute.

Now the upgraded research institute has become a lot more magnificent, not only has the internal space been doubled several times, but the defense performance and safety factor have also been significantly improved.

For example, the special bullet-proof glass with a thickness of [-] centimeters on the outer wall, and the all-weather automatic weapon defense system on the ceiling are elite weapons.

After detecting Lin Ye's facial data, the double-layer pneumatic door of the institute opened automatically.

Enter the laboratory you want to go to on the control screen at the door, and a guiding arrow will appear on the ground in the corridor.

Lin Ye followed the arrow through the corridor and came to the No. 1 R&D laboratory located in the deepest part of the research institute.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw that Gray was having a heated discussion with a group of engineers around the experimental workbench.

These dozen or so people were so excited that they didn't even notice when he entered the door.

And on the workbench surrounded by them, there are several polygonal crystal blocks refracting silver-white light.

It looked like some kind of dense metallic material.

Curious, Lin Ye walked to the front of the stage, raised his hand to touch it, and found that it was very light.

If you compare the material of Blue Star, it is basically equivalent to high-density polyethylene products.

At this time, Gray, who was arguing with his colleagues about the design proposal, finally saw an extra person beside him.

Not only did they not wear work clothes as required, but they also touched materials indiscriminately without permission.

Troubled by the design plan, he was already extremely irritable, so he turned his head and prepared to reprimand loudly.

However, in the next second, he saw that this unruly guy was Lin Ye.

So, he immediately swallowed the words on his lips.

He widened his eyes and said in surprise, "Your Highness, why are you here?"

"Ah, I'll come over and have a look, and discuss something with you by the way!"

Lin Ye's attention was all on the white crystals on the stage. After responding to Gray's question, he pointed to these materials and asked, "What is this?"

Looking at his curious eyes, Gray couldn't help being stunned, and then explained with a smile:

"On Ayer, this material is called Roche alloy!"

"Roche alloy?"

Hearing this name, Lin Ye suddenly raised his head.

There is also an ore with the same name on Blue Star!

Is this a coincidence?
Seeing Lin Ye's strong reaction, Gray was also very puzzled, but he still honestly explained the origin of the crystal mine:

"The Zerg race on Star Aier generally wear black armor, and those armors are forged from this kind of crystal ore as raw materials!
The forged armor is extremely effective in defense, and can also effectively shield deadly radiation.

More importantly, this kind of material is light in texture, even if it is assembled into a full-body armor, it will not hinder movement. "

As he spoke, he easily lifted one of the forty-centimeter-high ore blocks with just one hand.

Lin Ye was still guessing the reason for the similar names at first, but after Gray's description, he had a solid idea.

This is the mineral vein erupted from the magma after the outer planet melted with the blue star's core.

In the previous life, humans extracted this material from the shell of the crashed Zerg mothership.

And after isotope comparison, the same material was found on the floating continent of the blue star, that is, the alien vein after the magma condensed.

According to the transliteration of the Zerg language, people named this type of ore "Luoxi".

It's just that later, humans refined and decomposed these ore veins into Roche refined iron and black crystal ore.

Roche fine iron, as Gray introduced, is light in texture, strong in plasticity and extremely tough, and basically has all the advantages of tungsten alloy and titanium alloy.

The black crystal ore can be made into an equipment interlayer, except for the extremely destructive gamma rays, it can basically effectively shield other kinds of deadly cosmic radiation.

Looking at the white crystals on the workbench, Lin Ye had a very shocking guess.

"You just said that this kind of white crystal can be made into black armor?"

"That's right!" Gray nodded, then touched the workbench with his fingertips, and a 3D model of a spherical smelting furnace appeared in front of everyone.

"In a [-]-degree smelting furnace, hash alloy will be pressed and forged into a high-density dense body. At this time, the color will change, from white to black, but the quality will only increase by ten percent."
