Chapter 466 Yun's Frustration_1

"Because the armor plates are made thinner," Wei Ruo replied.

Wei Mingting took a closer look and indeed found them to be thinner than he had expected.

Wei Ruo then explained, "Father, rest assured, although these armor plates are a bit thinner, their hardness is still reliable—they can withstand ordinary sword and blade attacks."

"Why is that so?" Wei Mingting inquired.

"The making of this armor extensively used fluorite in the smelting of the steel, and copper was added during the process. After the workpiece was shaped, it was placed in a crucible, covered with charcoal, fermented black beans, and clay powder, then heated from the outside of the container. This allowed the workpiece to undergo even carbon penetration, thereby enhancing its capacity for tenacity while also greatly strengthening it."

"How do you know all these?" Wei Mingting couldn't help but ask.
