Zhang Yanhang woke up very early this morning, around five o'clock in the morning. After wasting some time on making choices and eating, he started researching at six o'clock in the morning and has been studying for a whole morning.
Six hours of research did allow Zhang Yanhang to find some useful gains. For example, he determined that the exoskeleton, mouthparts and most of the organs of the red iron ant were of no use to him, although he could barely refine some.
White quality equipment, but what he needs is higher quality equipment.
Well, maybe knowing this is not actually a gain. Zhang Yanhang’s real gain was actually the formic acid from red iron ants. He found that the corrosive strength of this thing was unexpectedly high.
Even the famous aqua regia takes several minutes to melt metal to soften it to a certain extent, but what about the formic acid of hematite ants? It only takes a few seconds at most to spray it on the original hematite.
Softened to a point where it can be eaten.
There is no doubt that the gap between the two is quite large. If an ordinary person is exposed to the formic acid of red iron ants, it is estimated that a big hole will be corroded immediately where the formic acid is exposed. After all, even the hard
Even raw hematite cannot withstand corrosion, let alone fragile flesh and blood organs.
And this is only the formic acid at the level of hematite worker ants. Their low-grade formic acid can only melt raw hematite, but the stronger formic acid from hematite flying ants can melt hard impurities in hematite and increase the corrosion strength.
There is no doubt that it has been elevated to a new level.
In other words, since the hematite excreted by hematite worker ants is of green quality, it means that their formic acid can melt white quality materials.
The refined hematite excreted by hematite flying ants is of stronger blue quality, which means that their formic acid melts the green and white quality parts of the hematite.
Since the formic acid of red iron flying ants can melt even green-quality materials in a short time, it shouldn't be a problem to use it to melt the fragile flesh and blood of enemies, right?
Based on this development idea, Zhang Yanhang fused the formic acid from the hematite flying ants several times, or in other words, concentrated it several times, causing its corrosion strength to increase significantly again.
Zhang Yanhang found a piece of frozen pork in stock at home and applied a little concentrated formic acid on it.
As a result, the whole process was like magic. In less than a second, the black scars representing acid corrosion traces had spread to the entire piece of pork, and the water inside the pork was continuously absorbed and evaporated, and the volume quickly increased.
Zoom out.
Then in the blink of an eye, all that was left in front of Zhang Yanhang's eyes was a pool of pus and a small amount of black pork residue.
Next, Zhang Yanhang used refined hematite to test the concentrated formic acid, and found that although the melting speed was much lower than that of ordinary pork, it was still softened quickly.
"Concentrated formic acid can actually melt blue-quality materials..." Zhang Yanhang felt that if the corrosion intensity was this level, it would indeed be useful.
Although it is not used when dealing with ordinary mobs, it may be used when dealing with lord monster trackers. Moreover, according to Zhang Yanhang’s experience in playing Resident Evil, acid is indeed more suitable for use.
deal with it.
More importantly, formic acid will continue to cause corrosive damage to the enemy after entering the body, which is also very suitable for killing pursuers.
"Then, here comes the question, how do I deliver formic acid into the enemy's body? Or in other words, even if it cannot be delivered into the enemy's body, it must at least be delivered to the enemy's body surface, so that it can cause damage to it.
Corrosive damage.”
Zhang Yanhang feels that he has now officially found a suitable entry point for exploitation, but he has no idea how to use this part of the value that has been forcibly squeezed out to earn greater value.
He brought back a lot of formic acid from red iron flying ants this time. Therefore, if it is used to make weapons, as long as the specific design ideas can be determined, small-scale mass production can be achieved.
"First of all, you definitely can't make a melee weapon. If you use this thing to make a melee weapon, the formic acid will probably corrode the weapon before the battle starts. Therefore, you can only make some long-range weapons, such as ants.
Acid grenades and formic acid bullets and stuff like that.”
Zhang Yanhang thought for a moment, and then took out some 5.56MM caliber bullets from his pocket as the subjects of this experiment.
When he was doing inlay experiments in the Ashes World, he inlaid a lot of miscellaneous things, such as the alchemy materials used to make barbecue seasonings and the current bullets, which he fused by the way at that time.
At that time, these things mainly served as a control group compared to hematite and refined hematite, but unexpectedly, they were actually used after returning to the main world.
Zhang Yanhang next tried to use alchemy to encapsulate formic acid directly into the inside of the bullet, but found that as soon as it was encapsulated, the concentrated formic acid had already corroded the metal shell of the bullet.
"It seems that direct encapsulation is not feasible. Even if you can rely on the fact that there is no time lapse in the space in the belt bag to force the bullet to be in a freshly encapsulated state, it would be too troublesome to use..."
Zhang Yanhang felt that maybe he should solve this encapsulation problem before making formic acid bullets, or in other words, find a substance that can temporarily resist the corrosion of formic acid, but is not too strong in itself.
Zhang Yanhang's current manufacturing idea is to coat the outside of formic acid with a film. This film must be able to withstand the corrosion of formic acid in a short period of time, at least to ensure that the bullet will not be corroded by formic acid during the shooting process.
Secondly, we must ensure that the strength of this film is not too high. If it is too high, this film will entrap formic acid and fall off directly when the bullet is broken. If you want to cause corrosion damage, you must let this film interact with the bullet.
Broken together, only in this way can formic acid be smoothly injected into the enemy's body.
Zhang Yanhang next used some common corrosion-resistant materials for packaging, including ceramics, diamond, silicon nitride, silicon dioxide, copper oxide, and glass fiber...
But Zhang Yanhang tried a lot but couldn't find a suitable target. "In other words, since formic acid can corrode even blue-quality materials, why should I use these ordinary materials in the main world to experiment? This idea may be
