SPECIAL FEATURES
Pound per pound Bykronasteel can hold up to quite the punishment that war and the void can dish out. High tensile strength, high heat resistance and the ability to effectively deal with emp/ion energies.
Bykronasteel still has the ability to block sensors, from standard arrays up to some of the more advanced sensor arrays and/or scanners. Bykronasteel can still reflect hyper-space frequencies although not to the same degree as its base, [SIZE=10pt]Bykronium[/SIZE]. [It is 50% less effective at reflecting hyper-space frequencies.]
Sensors: Still capable of blocking sensors, this is Bykronasteel’s biggest selling point. Not only is it still capable of blocking sensors, [SIZE=10pt]but it can also,[/SIZE] to a degree reflect hyper-space frequencies. Although this is not nearly as strong as Bykronium itself.
Corrosion: Sure, most metals are gonna crumple to corrosion and Bykronasteel is no different. Worse, if the corrosion happens to get some lower temperatures to it, someone might be able to crack Bykronium’s Achilles heel of cold temperatures.
Frequencies: Having lost a good chunk of its hyper-space reflection abilities, [SIZE=10pt]advance[/SIZE] sensors may still be able to pick up the resonant frequencies that the metal does not reflect.
Bykronium[SIZE=10pt] would do wonders for ground vehicles and military bases in warmer climates. In the void, or anywhere there could be cold it would prove [/SIZE]in effective. This meant it would have to be reforged with other metals similar to what one would do with a layered billet when forging damascus steel.
Typically forged steel would have crystalline grains that would have round shapes. The process used for Bykronateel develops longer cylindrical grains. The process is done by using heat and mechanical stress in a harsh process. This then would mean it would take much longer for this metal to break down in the extreme environments of the void than say the [SIZE=10pt]Bykronium[/SIZE] on its own.
The concern still became battle ready, in which the steel would have to face off against weapons of all kinds. Solar ionization cannons, turbolasers, hypervelocity cannons and much more are often used in modern warfare.
To retain some of Bykronium’s key properties Primo Victorian smiths used a four-two-one-two ratio in that the core of this metal would be Bykronium outside would be [SIZE=10pt]crystadurium[/SIZE] in two parts, one part neutronium, and two parts durasteel. This process would involve layering the metals one on top of the other to form a new metal. All done with the industrial furnace and hammer, each element outside of Bykronium would work to eliminate the metal’s innate weakness to the cold.
Smiths used another batch of [SIZE=10pt]Bykronium[/SIZE] only this time they would fold it with Trimantium, Durasteel, and Trilamnium. This time it would be two parts Trimantium, one part Durasteel and Trilamnium with two more parts Bykronium. They would repeat the harsh heat and mechanical process as before making use of the layered billet method when forging.
Now it would be time to take these two new metals, Bykrondurium and Tri-Bykronium and put them together. Tri-Bykronium would this time take center and would be folded in a Four-Two method, two parts of the Tri-Bykronium at its core with four parts Bykrondurium surrounding it. To finish this off, the metal would receive a coating of [SIZE=10pt]agrinium[/SIZE] to aid in resisting radiation.
The result would be Bykronasteel, a metal that could effectively serve as the basis of stealth hull armor plating. While also working to withstand the extreme pressures of both the void and modern naval warfare.
