Chapter 1113 Iron Maiden (Ⅱ)
After a lot of thought, Joan finally got the hinge system done.
Now that the crystal steel used as the base material for enchanting is also ready, he can finally start to transform the design on the blueprint into a real magic tool.
In order to manufacture this magical shield with a very complicated structure, Joan prepared a total of 16 cubic feet of crystal steel plates, weighing as much as 2,000 pounds.
Such a heavy raw material far exceeds the limit load that the 1st ring "Floating Shield" can carry, but it doesn't matter, Joan has already upgraded and optimized the spell "Floating Shield" in advance, and the load is not a problem.
16 cubic feet of crystal steel, the test bench must not fit. Fortunately, Duo'er is very hardworking, cleaning the laboratory floor clean and spotless.
Joan simply performed enchanting operations on the floor of the spacious hall.
Qiao An first moved the crystal steel to the center of the floor and stacked it neatly, and then performed "secondary craftsmanship" on the embryonic material to transform it into the shape on the design drawing.
With Joan's current spellcasting ability, if he casts this third-level spell himself, he can only process 8 cubic feet of material at most, and his design requires one-time molding, so he specially asked his instructor for help.
Professor Moriarty was always responsive to his only favorite student, and he readily gave Joan a 3-ring "Secondary Uncanny Workmanship" scroll.
With Mr. Professor's ability to cast spells, it is not difficult to process 16 cubic feet of crystal steel at the same time.
Joan unfolded the scroll presented by the mentor, and performed "secondary supernatural work" on the crystal steel piled on the floor.
A piece of golden light radiated from the scroll, covering the steel piled up in front of him, and transformed a large pile of raw materials into a large triangle composed of four completely equal "regular triangles" in a blink of an eye, with a total area of 160 square feet. The thickness is 1 inch, and the adjacent edges of the boards are connected by hinges.
Before proceeding to the next step of enchanting, Joan manually folded the embryo material into three different modes.
In the tower shield mode, the area of the small regular triangle is 40 square feet, and the thickness is four inches. The hinge exhibits the toughness and elasticity that fully meets Joan’s expectations. The four overlapping plates fit together perfectly, which makes him very satisfied.
The shield wall mode and the shield tower mode have relatively low requirements on the flexibility of the hinge, but the shield tower mode has high requirements on sealing.
The four planes that make up the shield tower must be closely connected with each other, and if they are impacted, they will spread apart, and the shield tower will become a flashy product.
Joan transformed into a "mutated snow monster", picked up the shield tower and beat it crazily.
The interlocking slot devices at the ridgelines of the shield towers have withstood the test. After being operated by him like a tiger, they still bite together tightly, maintaining the regular tetrahedron structure, without the slightest sign of falling apart.
Satisfied with the test results, Joan opened a plane of the shield tower and lowered his head to drill in.
Inside the shield tower, Joan moved his hands and feet a little, trying to make a set of spell-casting gestures.
The space inside the tower is relatively narrow, and the height is less than 8 feet. It feels a bit restrictive to stand inside, but fortunately, it is enough for him to straighten his back, and his normal spellcasting will not be hindered.
However, after thinking about it, Joan had to admit that he was able to stand in the narrow space of the tower, which was largely due to his thin body of just over five feet. It must be very aggrieved to touch the top of the tower.
Realizing this, he couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
When I grow taller and stronger in the future, and stand in the shield tower, I am afraid that I will feel restrained, like being imprisoned in the "Iron Maiden"...
Forget it, anyway, I won’t dance or do somersaults inside the shield tower. Safety is the most important thing on the battlefield, and it’s not unbearable if the space is narrow.
But having said that, the shield tower really looks more and more like "Iron Maiden", why not just name this all-round defense system "Iron Maiden"!
The embryonic material is ready, and Joan will perform the enchanting operation next.
The core craft of "Iron Maiden" includes three spells.
First of all, of course, is the basic enchantment that is indispensable for making any magic weapon and armor - the 1st ring "enchanted weapon".
The shield attached with this spell will become stronger and more durable, and other enchanting functions can only be added on the premise of attaching "enchanted weapons".
"Magic Armament" is the additional defense effect of the armor, which is divided into different levels. With Joan's current spellcasting ability, he can process up to level 2 enchanted armor, and the improvement effect is still obvious.
The second spell that Joan prepared for the "Iron Maiden" was the third-level "shrinking spell".
This design idea is actually inspired by Claudia Bellamy's dancing sky tower shield.
The shield that Claudia took out from the storage bag was only the size of a palm. After chanting a spell, the shield floated into the air and quickly expanded into a large tower shield like a wall.
The biggest advantage of adding a retractable function to the shield is that it is easy to carry around.
Take the "Iron Maiden" designed by Joan as an example. Even if it is folded into the "Tower Shield Mode" with the smallest surface area, it still has an area of 40 square feet, which has exceeded the storage size of the "storage bag". Nearly a ton of stuff on your back, right?
If he really did that, Qiao An wouldn't be able to take a step, and would be crushed by the "Iron Maiden" directly!
The effectiveness of the third-level "shrinking spell" is also positively related to the casting level. With Joan's current spellcasting ability, the volume and weight of an item can be reduced to 1/64 of its normal state.
16 cubic feet of crystal steel, under the effect of "shrinking objects", the volume becomes 1/4 cubic feet, and the weight is also reduced to 25 pounds. Joan can lift it with one hand and easily put it into a storage bag .
The last enchanting craft, of course, is the most critical "dancing shield", without this spell, the "iron maiden" cannot fly.
The magic power level of the 1st ring "Dancing Sky Shield" is really too low, it can't support the heavy "Iron Maiden" at all.
In order to realize the floating function, Joan drastically optimized the spell configuration of the "Dancing Shield".
If you just stay at the level of 1st-level spells, no matter how optimized you are, you will be dancing in shackles, and you won't be able to play any tricks.
Joan simply extravagantly upgraded the "Dancing Sky Shield" to two consecutive levels, and matched it with a third-level spell slot. In this way, he has a lot of magic power in his hands to squander, and he can change it as he wants. Magic reform.
Qiao An first allocated a part of the magic energy level to the floating function of the "Dancing Sky Shield", which increased the upper limit of the load by a full ten times!
The upgraded version of the "Dancing Sky Shield" that has undergone initial modification can carry 500 pounds of weight per spellcasting level. With Joan's current spellcasting ability, a maximum of 4,000 pounds of armor can be lifted into the air and circled around him.
