Although there was a brief interlude when he took out the Head Coffin, the real purpose was to explain gamma rays. Among all kinds of radiation, gamma rays were the most damaging type. They were actually electromagnetic waves with wavelengths below 0.01 nanometers. In this part, Marco Lin could talk a lot, but he stopped there. Because he saw the blank expressions on the faces of the silver-bearded dwarves.
Next, Fen explained the damage caused by gamma rays to the human body, especially the part of the DNA chain. This made the dwarves even more confused, and they all began to doubt their lives.
When the Dwarf Empire collapsed, the silver-bearded dwarves easily gave up the ruling power of the empire and were unwilling to make a final attempt in that era. A big reason was that they looked down on the other races. Even with the Gold Elves, the two sides faintly had the tendency to be equals, but the cultural development of the two races focused on different aspects. To be honest, there was a taste of discord between the two races.
It was this kind of thinking that when everyone was drunk and only one was sober, the silver-bearded dwarves simply abandoned the other races and chose to live in seclusion. This sense of pride still existed even in the days of hiding underground. Until today …
Two random strangers came, and they could say something that he didn't understand, but it should be reasonable. This was different from the group of idealistic elves. Those pointy-eared elves either gave themselves up to fate or let nature take its course. They were unwilling to use their cobweb-filled brains.
But the two in front of them said something based on the amount of evidence they had. And all the evidence could be repeated, and the results would be the same if it was operated by others. The premise was that the dwarves could build similar observation equipment. This was because Fen was unwilling to generously let the dwarves use the coffin. For a group of dwarves with big watery eyes and hopeful expressions, she only rewarded them with the back of their heads.
On the other hand, she also had to use the various detection programs and detection methods in the coffin, together with the sensors built by Jermaine, to begin to collect biological data of the silver-bearded dwarves. Of course, this behavior was mainly voluntary.
Because of this need, and also to serve the dwarves, the other dwarves could not 'forcefully' borrow the coffin. Of course, in terms of toughness, it was another question whether or not he could win against this Lich.
Lin, on the other hand, was communicating with another group of people to create a device to detect radiation. Speaking of which, a certain someone had obtained a Geiger Counter before he transmigrated. He had only used it, but he had no idea how to create it. Therefore, he could be considered to be crossing the river by feeling the stones with the others.
However, between tech geeks, it was easy to have common topics. As time went by, Lin became familiar with the people he worked with. The silver-bearded dwarves called each other brothers and broke through the difficulties of one research topic after another. Suddenly, the group of silver-bearded dwarves had a feeling that they regretted not having met earlier.
It had only been a few days. Even the most picky dwarf elder could not find any reason to find fault in the experiment and related knowledge. This was because the data and methods provided by Lin Hefen were all verifiable, and not some specious evidence to deceive others. Many of them were even made with the witness and assistance of other dwarves.
The most important evidence was the creation of gamma rays, and Lin Hefen's research proved that this thing could really cause harm to living creatures. In particular, they caught a few mice as experimental subjects and exposed them to a high-concentration radiation environment. The miserable state of the mice frightened many dwarves.
At this time, they also said that there were indeed no mice that liked to burrow in that place, nor other mosquitoes that disturbed people's dreams. Originally, they just thought that the nuclear god was blessed and drove away those unpleasant little things. It seemed that those little things were indeed driven away, and their lives were used as a threat.
All kinds of shocking results, many dwarves were unwilling to believe. But if they could not trust an outsider, they could still trust their own people.
Therefore, in just a few days, Lin gained the trust of the silver-bearded dwarves, and at the same time completed all the preparatory work. Next, he was ready to go to the core of the dwarves' territory, which was the center that supplied the energy of the entire territory, to do the first investigation. Of course, he also had to confirm whether that was really the source of the problem.
However, when the dwarves really agreed to let foreign friends into their core area, Lin was unwilling to go in. He was very happy with the research a few days ago, and he was a little carried away. But when he wanted to enter an area that might be full of radiation, he retreated.
The experiment a few days ago proved that the radiation in the mysterious land had the same power as that on Earth. Then, his physical radiation resistance was at the level of the mice or the silver-bearded dwarves. It seemed self-evident. Someone cherished his life very much, at least he did not want to abandon his precious life in such a place.
So the next topic was to make a protective suit that could temporarily resist gamma rays. He did not expect to complete a product that could be industrialized and produced with excellent effects. He just had to make do with it and destroy it when he was done. Anyway, he would not stay in that place for too long, and he would even go in and out. After looking at the general situation, it was enough to give the dwarves instructions.
But this time, it was the dwarves' turn to be dissatisfied. Of course, from the perspective of the dwarves' realistic factors, a big problem they faced was the lack of resources. It was impossible to let someone make a one-off product or a product that could only be used a few times; no matter how bad it was, it had to be recyclable. However, the design of Lin's protective suit did not meet any of these requirements, so they were unwilling to make such a thing.
What else could they do under the eaves? Of course, they had to compromise.
And the dwarves also considered that there would be a need in this regard in the future. After knowing the danger of radiation, they did not want to continue to resist it with their bodies. So the second research project was quickly launched.
On Earth, protective suits relied on a mixture of mainly plastic and then reinforced by various means to finally achieve the result of limited radiation protection. But in the mysterious land, there was no plastic first. Even the silver-bearded dwarves, whose technological progress was very different from the outside world, did not have plastic.
In the end, the solution chosen was still magic. Such a choice made Lin confirm one thing, that was, the path chosen by the silver-bearded dwarves was not the evolution of science and technology, but a way of "turning magic into science and technology." And there were many technical difficulties that were finally overcome not by technology, but by the advantage of materials.
For example, what should they do when a part was easily overheated and damaged?
On Earth, they would think about how to cool down, use metallurgy to find more heat-resistant materials, and use various means and technologies to overcome difficulties.
But in the mysterious land, because there were many extraordinary magic materials that were not available on Earth, the silver-bearded dwarves would intuitively look for better and better materials when faced with the problem of overheating parts. Of course, that kind of thing would also be linked to factors such as scarcity and preciousness. So the most important reason that limited the explosive development of the silver-bearded dwarves and even further sweeping the world was the lack of raw materials.
Back to the original topic. In order to resist ultra-short-wavelength electromagnetic waves, the dwarves came up with all kinds of ingenious solutions. Then they were shot one by one.
In the end, he used the protective spell that Lin had obtained from the World Tree to resist the energy waves of the high-dimensional world to simplify and specialize it. He designed a magic array that was specially designed to protect against gamma rays and engraved it on the power armor used by the dwarves — the Peace Armor.
The effect was incomparable to the protective suits on Earth. As long as there was enough energy, it could be reused, and there was no problem of contamination. The contamination of protective suits was because the contaminants would adhere to the clothes while being blocked on the outside. However, the magic protection method was like a reef repelling the waves, allowing the targeted substances to slide away from the protected part and not adhere to it.
In other words, someone was worried and scared for a long time before finally discovering that he was immune to radiation. It was normal when he thought about it. The high-dimensional world was a strange place that couldn't be more strange, and he could travel freely. Gamma rays were nothing to him.
However, because only his body could be protected, if he walked into the core area of the dwarves without other protection, the suit would have to be burned when he came out. Lin didn't want to run around naked, so he accepted the dwarves' suggestion of making half a set of the Peaceful Armor for himself.
The reason why it was said to be half a set was that in order to modify a set of power armor that was suitable for human height, the dwarves had to dismantle two sets of waste products and assemble them to be able to meet the requirements. Secondly, there were no weapons functions at all; the physical enhancement function was also limited to a very low output, at least it wouldn't make the armor so heavy that it couldn't move. The energy source was also selected from an energy module whose output had declined to the point that it was not suitable for the normal use of the Peaceful Armor to provide the most basic protection function for the human version.
Lin had no objection to this at all. Because even if it was the dwarven version of the Peaceful Armor, Lin Hefen couldn't take it away when she wanted to leave. Thinking about the road, it was understandable why even Jermaine, a little guy with a high status among the silver bearded dwarves, didn't choose to bring a set of power armor when he wanted to run away from home. Maintenance and maintenance were secondary. How to get through the dog hole and bring it out was a big problem.
Therefore, being able to wear the Peaceful Armor was like going to an amusement park in the past, or cosplaying other characters at the Comic Con to satisfy one's vanity. If he really wore it on a daily basis, he would feel very troublesome even if others didn't scold him for being sick.
Look at the process of putting on the Peaceful Armor. Not only were there four or five dwarves busy around him, but there were also some who took a hammer and hammered hard at some of the joints that were not obedient. They even used strips of cloth to wrap some of the parts that were not joined together. After going through untold hardships, they finally put on all of the outfits.
