Chapter 1163: Section 715: Sage (3)_2
"So that’s how it is." Malin internally disapproves of Sostak No.3’s capitalist practice of exposing secrets, but he can’t deny the allure of North America’s eighteen-month warranty.
After some griping, Sostak No.3 acknowledges the effectiveness of these shells, thinking that even if the Chaos Folk pull out their armored units, they wouldn’t be invincible; it’s just that once they do, it’s astonishing.
"So you’re suggesting that besides this, we should also create steel needles?" Malin thought for a moment: "No way, Chaos Armor might not even be afraid of the high penetration depth of steel needles. We also need to engrave holy glyphs on the steel needles."
"What are you talking about?" Sage Zhao expressed that he was hearing gibberish.
Malin asked Sostak No.3 to explain to Sage Zhao, who, after understanding what steel needles are, showed some interest: "Lord Malin, perhaps we can make some."
"Then I think we should just make armor-piercing grenades, engraving them full of armor-breaking glyphs." Malin said irritably — in Malin’s view, if there’s a choice, don’t use steel needles, unless as an artilleryman you know the vehicle’s internal structure by heart, and hope for a bit of luck.
"That’s a good idea!" Sage Zhao slapped his thigh, saying there are plenty of idle Immortal Masters to employ, and there are also many armor-piercing grenades in the storehouse.
It’s time to get the Immortal Masters busy.
With that said, over the next half day, Malin watched a team of sixth-tier Immortal Masters (equivalent to six-ring Mages in Westland) create three armor-breaking glyph models, considering the lack of discarded chassis to experiment with. Sage Zhao pulled thirty scrapped ironclad ship armor plates from Sage Yu due to quality issues — all over 200 millimeters thick. They then tested the armor penetration capability of different glyphs on these armor plates.
The first model could penetrate one plate, the second model could penetrate two plates, and the third model was quite absurd, penetrating three plates before flying two kilometers and raising a distant mound.
"Keep all three models."
