Chapter 182 Concentrated Formic Acid

Zhang Yanhang woke up very early this morning. He woke up around five in the morning. After wasting some time making choices and eating, he started researching at six in the morning and has been researching for a whole morning.

Six hours of research did allow Zhang Yanhang to find some useful gains. For example, he confirmed that the exoskeleton, mouthparts and most of the organs of the red iron ant were useless to him, although he managed to refine some White quality equipment, but what he needs is higher quality equipment.

Well, maybe knowing these things is not actually a harvest. Zhang Yanhang's real harvest is actually the formic acid of the red iron ants. He found that the corrosion strength of this thing is unexpectedly high.

Even the famous aqua regia needs several minutes to soften the metal to a certain extent, but what about the formic acid of red iron ants? It only takes a few seconds at most to spray on the raw hematite to soften it to a point where it can be eaten.

There is no doubt that the gap between the two is quite large. If an ordinary person is exposed to the formic acid of the red iron ants, it is estimated that a large hole will be corroded immediately at the place where the formic acid is exposed. Raw red iron stones can't withstand corrosion, let alone fragile flesh and blood organs.

And this is just the formic acid of the red iron worker ant grade. Their low-grade formic acid can only melt the raw red iron stone, but the formic acid of the stronger red iron flying ants can melt the hard impurities in the red iron. There is no doubt that it has been promoted to a new level.

In other words, since the red iron excreted by red iron worker ants is of green quality, it means that their formic acid can melt white quality materials.

However, the refined red iron discharged by the red iron flying ants has a stronger blue quality, which means that their formic acid has melted the green quality and white quality parts of the red iron.

Since the formic acid of the Red Iron Flying Ant can melt even green quality materials in a short time, it shouldn't be a problem to use it to melt the fragile flesh and blood of the enemy, right?

Based on this development idea, Zhang Yanhang fused the formic acid of the Red Iron Flying Ant several times, or in other words, concentrated it several times, causing its corrosion strength to increase significantly again.

Zhang Yanhang found a piece of frozen pork in stock at home, and rubbed a little concentrated formic acid on it.

As a result, the whole process was like magic. It took less than a second, and the black scar representing the acid corrosion had spread to the whole piece of pork, and the moisture inside the pork was continuously absorbed and evaporated, and the volume rapidly increased. zoom out.

Then in the blink of an eye, Zhang Yanhang saw only a puddle of pus and a small portion of black pork residue.

Next, Zhang Yanhang experimented with the concentrated formic acid with refined red iron, and found that although the melting speed was much lower than that of ordinary pork, it was still softened quickly.

"Concentrated formic acid can actually melt blue-quality materials..." Zhang Yanhang felt that if it had this level of corrosion strength, it would indeed be usable.

Although it is not useful when dealing with ordinary mobs, it may be useful when dealing with lord monster trackers. Moreover, according to Zhang Yanhang's experience in playing Resident Evil, acid is indeed more suitable for use. deal with it.

More importantly, formic acid will continue to cause corrosive damage after entering the enemy's body, which is also very suitable for killing trackers.

"Then, here comes the question, how can I deliver formic acid into the enemy's body? Or, even if it cannot be delivered into the enemy's body, at least it must be delivered to the enemy's body surface, so as to cause damage to it. Corrosion damage."

Zhang Yanhang feels that he has officially found an entry point suitable for squeezing, but he has no idea how to use this part of the value that has been forcibly squeezed to earn greater value.

He brought back a lot of formic acid from red iron flying ants this time, so if it is used to make weapons, as long as the specific design ideas can be determined, it can be mass-produced on a small scale.

"First of all, you definitely can't make a melee weapon. If you use this thing to make a melee weapon, the formic acid will probably corrode the weapon before you start the battle. Therefore, you can only make some long-range weapons, such as ant Acid grenades and formic acid bullets and things like that."

Zhang Yanhang thought for a while, and then directly took out some 5.56MM bullets from his pocket as the subjects of this experiment.

When he was doing inlay experiments in the world of ashes, he inlayed a lot of miscellaneous things, such as the alchemy materials used to make barbecue seasoning and the current bullets, which he fused by the way at that time.

At that time, these things mainly served as a control group compared with red iron and refined red iron, but what I didn't expect was that they were really used after returning to the main world.

Zhang Yanhang then tried to use alchemy to directly encapsulate the formic acid inside the bullet, but found that the concentrated formic acid had already corroded the metal shell of the bullet just after it was encapsulated.

"It seems that direct encapsulation should not work well. Even if you can force the bullet to be in a freshly encapsulated state by virtue of the fact that the space in the pocket does not have the passage of time, it will be too troublesome to use..."

Zhang Yanhang felt that maybe he should solve the encapsulation problem before making formic acid bullets, or in other words, find a substance that can temporarily resist formic acid corrosion, but its strength is not too high.

Zhang Yanhang's current manufacturing idea is to coat the formic acid with a layer of film. This film must be able to resist the corrosion of formic acid in a short period of time, at least to ensure that the bullet will not be corroded by formic acid during shooting.

Secondly, we must ensure that the strength of this layer of film cannot be too high. If it is too high, this layer of film will directly fall off when the bullet is broken with formic acid. If you want to cause corrosion damage, you must let this layer of film and the bullet Breaking together, only in this way can the formic acid be injected into the enemy's body smoothly.

Zhang Yanhang then used some common anti-corrosion materials for packaging, including ceramics, diamonds, silicon nitride, silicon dioxide, copper oxide, and glass fiber...

But Zhang Yanhang did not find a suitable object after a lot of experiments, "Speaking of which, since formic acid can corrode even blue-quality materials, why should I use these ordinary materials in the main world to experiment? There were problems from the beginning."
