Vol 2 Chapter 389: Sword and shield

phone-reading
Richard started.
First find a square glass container on the wooden shelf, put it on the ring-shaped experimental table, then lift the flour bag you got before, pour it into the container, and then = pour an appropriate amount of water to make the ratio of flour to water Keep around 2:1.
Stir it with a glass rod to mix the flour and water, turning it into a batter-like thing.
Richard looked at the contents of the container, touched his chin, released the spell at the next moment, controlled the batter out of the container, flew into the air, changed shape, and turned into a round shield.
Reaching out, Richard's tentative touch is obviously very soft and can easily penetrate.
Withdrawing his hand, Licha clenched his fists, speeding up and increasing his strength to play.
"boom!"
With a muffled sound, the batter quickly solidified, like a stone shield carved from a white boulder.
"Well--"
Richard withdrew his hand and rubbed his fisted face with pain. He stared blankly at the batter slowly returning to its original shape. The light in his eyes kept flashing and he was thinking about something quickly.
It is obviously feasible to use non-Newtonian fluid to make shields, which is beyond doubt.
However, it is absolutely impossible to use the present flour to make a shield as a life-saving means, which is too much of a joke.
This is just an initial test, and we will continue to improve on this basis, and experiment with more non-Newtonian fluids with greater density and superior properties.
Try to apply the spell to it, combine the technology on the modern earth with the current technology in the wizarding world, and let a shield play the role of "one plus one is greater than two".
"Then, next..." Richard stared at the flour shield in the air and had a plan.
...
For many days to come, Richard has been busy, constantly experimenting with various materials.
There are many types of non-Newtonian fluids, far beyond one's cognition. In addition to batter and chewing gum, what kind of tomato juice, apple pulp, potato pulp, melted chocolate, concentrated sugar water, condensed milk, egg white, and surimi, minced meat All kinds of minced food materials belong to it.
Of course, non-Newtonian fluids are not all food.
In addition to eating, concentrated solutions and suspensions of high molecular polymers are generally non-Newtonian fluids, including but not limited to polyethylene, polyacrylamide, polyvinyl chloride, nylon 6, PVS, celluloid, polyester, and rubber solutions.
In addition, there are some construction materials, including but not limited to mud, coal-water slurry, ceramic slurry, paper pulp, paint, ink, etc.
What Richard has to do is to find and produce as many non-Newtonian fluids as possible, and through a lot of experiments, to determine which non-Newtonian fluid has the best effect, which non-Newtonian fluid and spell is the most perfect combination, which one A non-Newtonian fluid is more cost-effective...
finally……
...
Many days later.
Spell testing ground.
Richard stood, and on the ground next to it, a square container was placed, filled with a viscous liquid like ink.
This is not a separate substance, but a mixture. In addition to some common materials such as gravel and carbon powder, there are some materials that demonize creatures, such as the blood of the earth bear and the bone powder of the black-headed raven.
His eyebrows flickered, and Richard squatted down to look at the liquid. Then stretch out a finger, insert it into the liquid, and pull hard to bring out the long filament. The filaments are stretched very long, are not broken, and are very sticky.
"So..."
When Richard's finger flicked, the free energy element in the body surged, the spell was released, and the liquid was released from the finger and flew into the air, becoming a thick round shield. Afterwards some muddy yellow liquid like grease was born, covering the surface of the shield—the power of the spell.
Spells and non-Newtonian fluids are combined.
"call--"
Richard stood up, took a deep breath, adjusted his body state, controlled the air to protect his fist, aimed at the shield, and punched hard.
"boom--"
The shield made a noise, very light.
Richard can feel that the force contained in his fist was forcibly dispersed as soon as he touched the shield. Afterwards, the scattered force hit the main body of the shield, and the shield quickly hardened and was completely eliminated.
Richard withdrew his fist, and saw that the shield quickly returned to its original state, intact.
Richard's eyes blinked, and there was nothing unexpected about this, because this was just the simplest test, and the second test was next.
Lips slowly opened, Li Cha waved his hand, an ice cone was born. The ice cone does not seem to have much power, but it is fast enough to fly out like a bullet and shoot at the shield with strong kinetic energy and penetration.
"puff--"
The ice cone touched the muddy yellow liquid on the surface and tore the film of the muddy yellow liquid quickly, hitting the shield very hard.
Then there was a "wow" sound, smashing on the hardened non-Newtonian fluid.
Richard was not surprised by this, and conducted a third test.
Stepping back a certain distance, Li Cha bombarded with a plastic fire-like spell.
"Boom!"
After a few spells, although the shield's appearance was slightly damaged, it almost blocked all spell attacks.
Then...
The final test!
"Da da da……"
Richard backed away~EbookFREE.me~ This time he withdrew far enough distance to prepare to attack with the strongest spell salt shattered armor and test the effect of the shield.
You can also take a look at which one is stronger, the sword as an attack and the shield as a defense.
Who is it?
Take out the spell salt, and Richard casts a spell to control the spell salt particles to fly out and attach to the shield surface. Then he chanted the mantra for a long time, preparing to spend most of the time, and raised his hand, blasting out a magnificent spell barrage.
"boom!"
The violent vibrations that appeared before reappeared, and the sound waves and shock waves roared to the surroundings and blew through Richard's body.
Waiting for the sound to calm down, Li Cha squinted at the shield. It can be seen that the entire shield, under the destruction of spell salt, has become broken, and only less than half of the volume remains on the front. Obviously, the power exceeds the limit of defense.
As I stepped closer, I could see that the back of the shield didn't even save a quarter of its volume-it broke under the stress of the broken armor.
In the competition between sword and shield, the sword clearly won-the sword pierced the shield!
In this way, maybe the shield can be thickened and can be transformed into a more powerful shape to defend in time when defending, but the sword can also become stronger. In addition, under the effect of the shattered armor principle, even if the shield is thick, it can cause damage.
So... the shield will always be weaker than the sword?
can you?
not necessarily.
Swords and shields, offensive and defensive, are like two sides of a coin. No one side will always win, and no side will always lose.
Swords can use the principle of shattered armor to cause damage without breaking through the shield. Then there is no similar means for the shield. When faced with an irresistible attack, is it safe to resist it?
For example...reactive armor.
