chapter 218 – Building a Castle(6)
Just as Kang Shin-hyuk awoke a new form of power in his Golden Dragon energy, there were various ways of dealing with magical power in the world. The same went for the flame that the Yeomin dealt with.
Their energy, named photobase, boasted very strong heat and destructive properties, but it also had the unexpected property of causing certain changes in certain substances.
[Can it be processed into metal again?]
"No, itcan't."
[I'll show you again. How about this feeling of energy right next toyou?]
"Hot, hot!" An extremely excited Kwati lit a fire next to him.
Even his SS-rank flame resistance couldn't completely block it, which was frightening.
"Returning what has changed is different than changing it in the first place. I don't need to worry about that. If it's fire, you can makeit?"
[We'll need our energy to build the walls, right?]
"Sure… could you light a flame from a little further?
I want to analyze it."
[As much as you want.]
Kwati's attitude had become rather cooperative after she confirmed Shin-hyuk's abilities. With her help, he analyzed the photobase for a few minutes. With his spiritual power active, he could read the limits and potential of her abilities, though Kwati was unaware of it.
"Okay, with this…" Kang Shin-hyuk produced a notebook and started to design it.
The structure would be simple; the point was that it needed to mass-produce building materials for the wall. That meant bricks.
He needed to configure an inlet the soil would go into, a frame to process it into bricks, and an outlet that would produce thebrick.
"How fast can the bricks… no, how well can the artifact withstand theenergy…"
"Grandpa is awesome, but I've no clue what he's doing!" Kang Shin-hyuk patted Shu's head as he focused on his design.
"Shu iscute!"
"Am I not?
Am I not?" Yeah, he still didn't know how old she was.
[So, is itpossible?]
"Yes, I think it will. But it'll be difficult to make it work forever. Somehow, while I'm here, I have to complete the wall."
[If you can stop those damn lizards, we will cooperate with whatever you haveplanned.]
Kang Shin-hyuk decided to start by making a new alloy that could withstand their energy.
Once the explosive gold was made into the metal with the application of heat, it hardened instantaneously, making it virtually impossible to alloy. Or so everyone thought.
[How… how?]
"It's not that difficult. I just persuaded this guy." The explosive gold flowed red in its liquid state. It was only the Yeomin who could make it, but they were seeing it in a liquid state for the first time.
It melted quickly and hardened near immediately, so it couldn't be processed well. But that was solved by Kang Shin-hyuk.
[You convinced the metal? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.]
"If it's grandpa, then it's doable.
He's the smartest in the Hero Universe!" Shu was impressed with the idea that he had communicated with the metal and seemed to believe him completely. Kwati was no fool to deny the obvious results, but she was curious, so she dipped her hand in the metal. It was ridiculously hot, but she was fine.
