Chapter 996 Hook Design/Materials Required
The scene was a little chaotic for a while, and Alang stood at the door and was in a dilemma.
After a struggle of thought, she decided to sacrifice herself to save Aluo.
"Don't be afraid, Aluo, I'll save you!"
She shouted and rushed up, knocking Little Alice to the ground, and the two girls twisted together.
"..." Luo Huai was speechless. Although it was pleasing to hug the two girls, it was better to stop them.
With a teleportation, he took off the rope and then picked up the two guys on the ground with one hand.
Touching Alang's head, the girl was at least kind, and then gave Little Alice a hand knife.
"Ah! Master, you treat it differently!" Little Alice shouted with her head in her arms.
Luo Huai stared at the dead fish and watched her playfully, saying, "Who told you to come up with such a bad idea? I said you wanted to test the strength of the rope, and you girl said you wanted to tie it up."
"Then you agree, master..." Little Alice said aggrievedly.
"Also quibble!" In order to maintain his image in Alang's mind, Luo Huai gave Little Alice another hand knife, "I thought it was an ordinary bondage, who knew that you, a guy, could do this strange bondage method..."
"Tsk~ I didn't see my master resisting when I was halfway through. I was shameless... shameless..." Little Alice was still mumbling, and seeing Luo Huai raise his right hand again, he quickly made a face and ran away.
It was rare to tie the owner up with her own hands, and a lot of inspiration emerged in her mind. She must be backed up quickly for daily creation.
Only Alang and Luo Huai were left in the forging room.
Alang saw Alu picking up the rope on the ground, and pulled it twice, and said in fear: "Aluo, don't play with binding~"
"So it's just what you think, alas... it's just testing the strength of the rope." Luo Huai sighed and pushed the girl who had just woken up and was still confused back to the bedroom.
In the end, I have to do it myself.
Well, in fact, he was planning to ask Luo Xiaohuai for help at the beginning, but he never thought that Little Alice suddenly ran in, obviously following her for a long time.
Return to the forging room, throw the rope onto the table, and pull out the chair and sit down.
"This rope is not very good either...it seems that using elastic materials is indeed inappropriate and cannot be tightened quickly."
Hook weapons soon encountered a bottleneck.
It must not only stretch out the length when thrown out, but also quickly shrink when retracted. Moreover, this shrinkage strength must ensure that the target can be pulled in front of it before it lands and is still in the air.
Otherwise, once the opponent reaches the ground, he will have to fight for another period of struggle. In that case, it would be better to use spider silk directly.
After all, elastic and tough spider silk is more suitable for consuming the target strength.
"Maybe it would be better with rigid ropes."
The so-called rigid rope is actually a common saying.
For example, a chain is composed of many round or elliptical lock rings. It looks like a "flexible" rope that can be bent at will, but it is indeed a rigid substance that makes it.
The characteristics of this type of rope are both advantages and disadvantages, that is, the strength is high and the elastic range is small. Once it is stretched to a certain distance, it is almost impossible to stretch. The target pulled back will instantly receive a rigid tension that is approximately equal to the force of the rope puller, rather than a flexible tension that gradually increases from small to large.
Whether it is good or bad depends entirely on demand.
Obviously, this is what Luo Huai needs now, and the rigid parts of rigid ropes are more suitable for forging with special materials, which can be convenient for enchanting.
Another point is that a very long piece of rigid rope can greatly save space by folding each component and fill it into a very small space.
For example, in a slightly larger wrist guard, this wrist guard can also protect the entire forearm as a small shield. If a small device can pop up the sharp blade at the front end, it can completely poke the target being pulled over.
Suddenly, design ideas about hooks kept popping up in my mind.
"But saving space is saving, the weight of the rope remains the same."
It doesn't matter if the head of the hook is slightly heavier, so it's easy to aim when throwing it out.
But if the rope itself is also very heavy, even if half of the rope is thrown out, it will hit the ground, and it will also cause one hand to be heavy when stored.
Although this way, you can use the wrist guard as a heavy shield to use hammer and shield strikes, it is too inflexible, and the imbalance between hands will cause many movements to become inconsistent.
Furthermore, if you want to make the wrist guard heavier, he only needs to compress energy into the wrist guard. Objects containing high energy can also have great inertia.
So the rope should be light...what should be done?
Light metal is a good choice, both rigid and light, which is definitely the first choice.
But most of these metals are priceless.
Luo Huai thought about it, returned to the mortal realm, and made a phone call.
"Hey? Are you there little Crazy?" The voice was so gentle and pleasant.
After answering the phone from the other side, Ye Meng was silent for a long time before he could speak out: "Do you have to come to me early this morning?"
"Oh, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you."
"Get out... If you have something to do, say it, get out if you have nothing to do, I'm still busy doing research." Ye Meng seemed to be quite busy, so she was in the laboratory early in the morning.
Luo Huai stopped talking and said, "I need to add light metal. You have a wide range of materials for experiments. Do you have any recommendations?"
Ye Meng thought for a while, "I still have some left of the metal you gave me last time, why don't I send it back to you? That one is quite light."
"No, that's not light enough. I want it to be lighter. I don't need it much. It's about the size of a pencil case."
"Ao, that's OK, I'll go find it."
The sound of flipping through the notebooks came from the other end of the phone, and after a while.
"Do you...the strength requirement be high?"
“The higher the better.”
“Are there any requirements for price?”
"Priority to pursue material quality, then price."
"emmm..." Ye Feng, who was opposite, hesitated for a moment and sent a picture, "How do you think of this alloy? This is one of the best light alloys developed by the official research. It is an ultra-high-strength material that can serve as a base for floating building, and has good energy compatibility." Ye Feng seemed to admire this very much.
He guessed that Luo Huai would definitely use magic to strengthen his things, so he specially chose one suitable for enchantment.
He guessed very accurately, and this off-white shiny alloy attracted Luo Huai at once.
Intuition tells him that this alloy can meet his requirements.
So he asked, "What's the price?"
"You said you wanted a pencil case size... I'll calculate..." Ye Meng knocked on the computer and sent a string of numbers.
