Xia Jing's operation was synchronized on the large screen. Everyone watched quietly as various pictures, data, and command boxes flashed rapidly on the screen.
I don't understand it, but it looks pretty cool.
It didn't take long before the white perspective image was broken into countless tiny fragments, which then scattered and spread out. Some of the fragments turned blue, green, and red.
"Excluding some extremely tiny parts, it can be roughly divided into four different shades." Xia Jing finally finished the work and said to everyone.
"Because the color difference is relatively small and they're all white, I specifically used four different colors to distinguish them more clearly." He explained the reason for the color change. "Let's first look at the bones we're most familiar with. They have the second lowest density."
He struck a few keys, and the scattered white fragments reassembled in the blank space, forming a skeleton.
But the skeleton is not complete. Only the lower spine and the palm are relatively complete, with only a few fragments elsewhere. The outlines of all the bones are outlined in red.
"Why are the bones incomplete?" asked Yu Guangli.
"It's probably blocked by the higher-density development," Dr. Xiao explained. "High-density areas appear whiter on the film, covering the lower-density white areas."
"The part below is denser than the bones, and it's the part that connects the joints." Xia Jing put the blue fragments together again and embedded them in the assembled skeleton.
Looking at it this way, in addition to the parts that are stretched out at the joints and the branches that connect the bones, there are also many reticular structures.
"Is this... the structural line of the inner armor?!" Zhang Zhaojie excitedly stood up by supporting himself on the table.
The inner armor of the stars is scale armor, which has many scale-like structures arranged in sequence, and these network lines clearly outline these scales.
Xia Jing retrieved more green fragments. They neatly filled the mesh. "This is the least dense group. Based on their shape and position, I suspect it's the inner armor."
Once the inner armor was filled in, the originally empty space, with only the skeleton and the blue mesh pattern, instantly became much fuller. This was especially true around the waist, neck, and palms, where the entire image became much larger.
"The last part is the densest one." Xia Jing reassembled the remaining red fragments in place.
"This is..." Ke Wenbin felt the answer was right on his lips.
"The outer armor of the stars!" As a designer, Zhang Zhaojie has a very high sensitivity to images.
"That's right. There are some light-colored structural lines on the head armor and breastplate, and you can vaguely see that there is a structure inside. Unfortunately, this piece is so dense that it is difficult to separate."
Xia Jing operated the red outer armor to slowly move it onto the white, blue and green combination picture, piecing together a complete mecha perspective view.
"If I remember correctly, the whiter the color, the higher the density, right?" Kuang Li was puzzled.
"That's right." Dr. Xiao looked at Kuang Li and roughly knew what he wanted to say.
"Inner armor... on the film, is the density even lower than that of bones?" Kuang Li frowned. This didn't make sense.
"Ranked by density, inner carapace < bones < joint tissue < outer carapace," Xia Jing concluded.
"Are human bones so hard?" Li Chunhua wondered.
"It's true that human bones are very hard, but their hardness is limited. The skull is the hardest bone in the human body, and the maximum force it can withstand is about 200 kg to 500 kg. Its hardness is about half that of steel." Dr. Xiao provided timely scientific popularization.
As we all know, the greater the density, the stronger the hardness.
From this we can see that it is normal for the outer carapace to be denser than the bones, but is the inner carapace not even as hard as the bones?
Xingchen was able to push Pangu, which weighed 1,864 tons. Although it was a bit overloaded, it was obvious that this strength was not something that normal bone strength could achieve.
Kuang Li shook his head in confusion, unable to fathom the logic behind this. The others were also bewildered.
"Isn't the inner armor made of metal?" Ke Wenbin was confused.
Although it has not been tested, everyone assumes that the inner and outer armor must be some kind of high-strength metal.
Everyone felt overwhelmed.
It's always like this, after getting an answer, there will be more questions.
Seeing that no one spoke for a while, Xie Bisheng said, "Well, this question cannot be answered for the time being. Ke Wenbin, remember to arrange a strength test for the inner and outer armor."
"Got it." Ke Wenbin wrote it down carefully in his work notes.
"Okay, let's put this question aside for now and wait for the results of subsequent tests. Do you have any other questions besides this?" Xie Bisheng asked.
"We have no idea about the blue connector either." Yu Guangli sighed.
"I suspect the blue part should be a substance similar to soft tissue." Jin Sichen expressed his opinion.
"Why do you think so?" Xie Bisheng asked.
"Because it appears in the middle of the joints. If it were a hard object, then theoretically the joints of the stars would not be able to bend." Jin Sichen said.
Xia Jing quickly pulled up the previous footage, especially the scene during the first evolution where Xingchen raised both arms in front of his eyes and clasped them. "It's indeed very flexible."
He quickly switched to the four-color image and enlarged the hand joints.
Everyone can clearly see that there is a piece of blue substance in the middle of each joint of the hand bones, accompanied by many small whiskers. These things are obviously foreign objects, but they do not affect Xingchen's flexibility at all.
"Doctor Xiao?" Xie Bisheng sought professional help.
"Judging from its position, the position between joints is generally the ligament. From a functional point of view, it should be the tendons and fascia that allow the joints to move freely..." Doctor Xiao pondered.
"It's true that those branch-like structures are distributed around the bones, allowing for better muscle control. But this shape doesn't conform to any human tissue in current medical anatomy! And the density isn't right either. Soft tissue isn't that dense, and it can't be denser than bone anyway."
"In other words, it is likely that it plays the role of soft tissue?" Yu Guangli concluded.
"...I think so." Doctor Xiao was not particularly sure.
"In this case, the other guess has an answer." Jin Sichen said while looking at the big screen with one hand supporting his face.
"What is it?" Li Chunhua asked.
"Isn't the original intention of taking X-rays to verify Wu Yi's idea?" Jin Sichen reminded everyone.
"Ah, yes! I said at the time that I didn't know whether it was Lin Fan inside the star or he had completely turned into Iron Man." Wu Yi certainly still remembered the topic he had raised at the time.
"Do you have an answer?" Zhang Zhaojie frowned and looked at the big screen. "I can't tell."
"If the blue part acts as soft tissue, then..." Jin Sichen smiled lightly. He was very sure that Xingchen was just Lin Fan with a layer of mecha on the outside.
"...Ah!" Xia Jing stared for a while and understood.
"Why don't you just tell me? Why are you still keeping us in suspense at this time?" Zhang Zhaojie was a little anxious.
Song Ren also saw the trick.
"Okay, let me tell you." Xia Jing, noticing Xie Bisheng's gaze, quickly spoke. "Look, the white ones are bones, and the blue ones are soft tissues like ligaments and tendons. What else is missing?"
I actually wrote more than 3,300 words for this chapter. Between the choice of getting 4,000 words to publish one chapter or splitting it into two, I chose the latter. Hahaha, am I smart? Another day of asking for votes. I woke up in the early morning and saw a comment from a friend. I suddenly began to doubt whether I was wrong to insist on writing this book that is destined to have no achievements. Is this the stage I am finally entering? It's still dark outside, and the roosters have just crowed. I feel complicated.
