Zhang Feng shook the cigarette between his fingers and said seriously, "The steel plate is not useless. It's just that it's not very effective when it collides with the steel balls. However, we still have to use the steel plate."
Alkinnon nodded again, but this time he seemed to have understood something. He quickly said, "So you're going to use resin to mix it in."
Zhang Feng smiled with satisfaction. "Yes, resin has a softening effect, especially when it has a tendency to flow under the influence of external forces. When you punch it, you won't be able to exert any force at all. For example, if a steel ball moves very fast and can cause great damage to anything, it may not be the same for resin. First of all, resin is neither soft nor hard. When you hit it, it will immediately break down the strength of the steel ball. Secondly, even if the steel ball is strong and breaks the resin, the resin will still be like what I said just now, breaking down the strength of the steel ball. Moreover, there is a steel plate behind the resin. In this way, the safety factor of the special combat suit can be greatly improved."
Alkinnon nodded and lowered his head to digest what the director had said.
"Don't rush. Take it slow."
Zhang Feng smiled and said, "I just thought of this thing. You'll know the effect when it's done."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Chumo and the others ran over with a basin in their hands. Inside the basin was a yellow, sticky substance. It was the resin.
Alkinnon looked at the basin and frowned. "Director, is this the resin you were talking about?"
Although he had seen resin hanging on trees before, he had never seen such a large basin. Moreover, it was collected. It looked a little strange.
Zhang Feng nodded with satisfaction. "That's right. This is the resin I was talking about."
Then he looked at Cheng Chumo. "What tree's resin is this?"
Every tree's resin had a different effect and usage, so it had to be distinguished.
Cheng Chumo scratched his head and looked at Zhangsun. "What kind of resin is this?"
"Pine resin."
Zhangsun rolled his eyes at Cheng Chumo.
"Oh, yes, it's pine resin."
Cheng Chumo quickly looked at Zhang Feng and smiled. "It's pine resin."
Zhang Feng nodded and said to Arkinnon, "When the others come back, tell them to bring the resin to the cave. We'll go back and do the experiment first."
With that, he led Cheng Chumo into the cave. Arkinnon gave a few orders to his subordinates and hurriedly followed.
Inside the cave, Zhang Feng looked at the resin in Cheng Chumo's hand and said, "Pour all the resin into the furnace."
The resin had just been scraped off, and there were still many impurities. It needed to be quenched at a high temperature to obtain the final essence. Although some of it would be lost, it had to be done for better effect. Moreover, the resin would turn into a liquid after high temperature, which was more suitable to be added to the special combat suit.
However, Arkinnon didn't know this. He asked worriedly, "Director, will it all evaporate if it's poured into the furnace?"
Zhang Feng shook his head and said, "No, it won't. The resin is not a liquid, nor is it a solid. It's semi-solid. It will only be quenched if it's put in the furnace, but the temperature can't be too high. Lower the temperature to 60 degrees first."
Arkinnon nodded and asked his subordinates to operate the furnace. After a while, the furnace's temperature was lowered.
Zhang Feng looked at Cheng Chumo and the others and said, "Now pour the resin into the furnace and see what happens."
Cheng Chumo curled his lips and glanced at the furnace. He felt the heat before he even got close. How could he pour it?
He looked at Zhang Feng reluctantly, but Zhang Feng gave him a cold look. He had to carry the basin into the furnace and pour the resin into it despite the intense heat.
However, the resin didn't seem to want to go down. It was lying on the bottom of the basin.
Cheng Chumo had to dig with his hands. After a long time, he finally got the resin into the furnace one by one.
Soon, there was a crackling sound in the furnace, like firecrackers.
Cheng Chumo looked at the furnace in surprise and stammered, "Fengzi, what's going on?"
Zhang Feng didn't answer. Instead, he leaned forward to take a look. He saw that the resin was rolling in the furnace and constantly making noises. In a few moments, it turned into a liquid, just like water. However, the color didn't change. It was still yellow.
He turned around and glanced at the others. He smiled and said, "It's okay. It's just the resin rolling in there. It'll be fine in a while. Let's sit down and have a rest."
After that, he didn't care about the others' reactions. He walked to the round table and sat down.
Arkinnon glanced at the furnace and came to Zhang Feng. "Director, how long will it take to quench it?"
Zhang Feng frowned. In fact, he didn't know. This was the first time he had experimented with this thing. How could he know? He could only say, "I don't know. It'll be fine after the noise stops."
