#Manganese Wear Parts

[b1asho]

Round one of the species introduction!!!!

Prectikar Master Post:

Here's some info on them, and if you want to see some other drawings I've done of them (albeit some occasionally older n crustier ones), check out my deviantart: https://www.deviantart.com/blasho

Anyway let's get into a terribly long string of paragraphs about some of their info:

Prectikar are a large sentient species, usually standing at around 8-9 feet tall when fully upright and weighing anywhere close to or upwards if 1000 pounds

They are covered in feather-like fur (or is it fur-like feathers? They're occasionally branched like feathers, and all have quills, but some are more hairlike) due to the cold climate they evolved in, though length and thickness of it now varies by region.

They are omnivorous, and while they have many traits to help them hunt and kill, most of their diet tends to be plants.

Originally rush-down predators, they use their considerable strength to move in quick bursts and their specialized tusks to either ram prey to death or gouge into it as they grapple it.

Their jaw strength is also insane,with their skull actually sacrificing brain space in favor of it, which helps them eat pretty much anything they come across. They pay a lot of attention to food and cooking because of their high calorie needs and very sensitive nose/tongue.

They have manganese as an oxygen carrier is a result of the scarcity of other metals in their environment and potentially because of its general affinity for oxygen.

This causes their blood to be an amber/orange brown and shades of pink depending on its exposure to oxygen.

Through a network of cooperative bonding and other adaptations (like better oxygen retention in muscles and the easily carried size and longevity of the molecule) they’ve managed to bring this manganese transport molecule close to hemoglobin in terms of effectiveness, though they can also make use of manganese’s catalyst properties to temporarily push it to bring lots more oxygen to their tissues at a time (used for short bursts of speed and strength that allow them to take down large prey and plants for food).

their large body size (selected by their colder environment) lets them use their own high body heat to keep the O2 fixation and liberation going in their highly effective lungs.

An extensive understanding of their internal chemistry is unknown (aka gatekept by their colonizers/"uplifters" who ill get to later) but it seems like they also have a network of bacteria in their body just to manage the more reactive and damaging oxides that form, and to remove/convert the spent manganese into connective tissue and aid in bone maintenance.

They have higher calorie needs from keeping up the body temp and recycling/removing all that stuff, alongside just being big in general. Alongside a lot of sleeping, they also basically just eat all the time (compared to other species) to compensate, though their mammal-like fat retention and other metabolic adaptations for scarcity mean that they can handle long periods without resources(though this causes increasingly compounded problems for them)

Some other downsides include low tolerance of changes in oxygen levels (particularly low) and temperature levels, and poor adaptation to environments outside of their biosphere/without all the microorganisms since these things upset their delicate balance.

(part of why so many tribes were nomadic was/is to chase temperate and ‘warm’ seasons, even though to us that’s still cold. Prectikar living in human dominated areas often just take a lot of supplements with beneficial bacteria in them to cope with thr lack of that in their environent, and any food printers need an 'ink' cartridge containing these things or else theyre basically useless.),

They also experience faster general wear and tear from having constant complex and intensive chemical reactions(sometimes with dangerous chemicals) going on in their bloodstream and tissues.

( I’m not a biochemist, so if there’s any glaring issues with this then just explain it away to yourself with ‘they have a gland for that’ or ‘just don’t think about it actually’ which is what I did. I just wanted the fun color with a metal that can reversibly bond with oxygen :). )

They have one nasal passageway for smell/air and a second, bigger cavity for just vocalization (which they can’t breathe in from as easily).

This second cavity is between their first set of eyes, and has a phonic lip structure inside to produce higher pitched sounds.

The upper nasal opening has muscled nostrils that act as lips to further help control sound. The noise coming from here sounds very high to them, but to us it sounds like a nasally human voice, broken uobhere and there with squeaks, buzzes, and clicks).

They can pitch this nose voice very high, closer to dolphin-like clicking noises but not quite echolocation level.

Their throat vocal cords by their air sac are very long and thick, used for making very deep noises that carry long distances.

However, the vocal control they have through their mouth is very poor due to this and the inarticulate lips and tongue they have, and due to the more limited air they can bring in and out of it, so when speaking only through their mouth they sound a lot like seals or dogs and can only really go in short bursts before having to refill the sac.

Most of their languages are spoken with the nose and mouth sounds in tandem, where the high and low mix to make a more even sounding voice.

It’s fairly easy to understand them, but nearly impossible for us to truly speak any of their native languages, and if they wanted to they could also just start making sounds we cant hear.

They see it as strange that humans and other species speak with a single tone without difficulty.

The red flaps pictured on the drawing of their mouth and nasal passages can be moved to seal off the passage and direct airflow elsewhere.

The big red one in their throat acts as a “diaphragm” to fill and empty the air sac (which is left over from when their digestive and respiratory tracts were more connected like ours, but time in the water heavily shifted it to a more ‘blowhole’ type outline to help them breathe and vocalize from the surface).

The other flap by the air sac and its vocal cords moves upwards to block off the digestive tract whenever the mouth or nose is opened to allow air to be drawn in by this diaphragm.

The two red flaps making a pinched shape can move independently or with the other red flap, but never at the same time with each other. The main airway is always separate from the digestive tract, though the flap to the middle, non vocal nasal passage can be moved so that it’s a part of either the vocal nasal passage to draw in air or the air sac part to act as another resonance chamber.

Air can be drawn in by the diaphragm via open mouth and through the nose via open top red flap at the same time, and can be released at the same time, resulting in their near continuous double speak sound they use for their own language.

Their characteristic large tusks are retractable and housed in a cone-shaped bony socket on the side of their jaw.

A muscle is attached to the bony root of the tooth, and pushes it out. As it slides towards the front of the mouth, the cone socket narrows and wedges a protrusion on the tooth into a hole in the socket, and then the muscle stiffens, locking it in there.

When the tusk retracts, the muscle quickly jimmies the tooth forward then draws it back to get it out of the hole, and then pulls it back into the wider part of the socket.

This is mainly because their tusks are ever growing (but very slowly) but not great at self sharpening, and are their main weapon in self defense and hunting,so it seems this just happened to keep them safe.

If a tusk is broken, as long as it was not cracked at the root, it can be regrown with extensive time in the socket, but otherwise they stay safely stowed in da socket where the majority of its sharp edge can stay protected from chewing and other mouth stuff. Tusks won't start growing in until their teenage years.

They are primarily bipedal/ quadrupedal and switch between the two occasionally.

Knuckle walking helps distribute their top-heavy weight and give them more balance for long and short distance, while walking upright gives them better visibility, less stress on their neck/upper back, and quicker but unsteadier movement.

Their gallop/sprint utilizes both arms and legs to propel them forward in a gait halfway between a bear and a gorilla (since their big mid arms are set like a bears) to overtake prey after an ambush or drive them into the rest of the pack waiting elsewhere. Quad walking also helps them get around in buildings meant for species half their size.

Their hands are some of their only places without hair, but as they age, they loose it on their arms and face too.

Prectikar have different uses for each of their pairs of limbs, and have for all stages of their evolution.

The front ones specialized for grappling prey and grabbing things, and so have a ‘sprawling’ shoulder position like humans and have hands with relatively nimble fingers, the outer two are angled inwards but can also move in a pamprodactyl ish fashion (which acts as their version of a thumb, and lets them switch from big to little grabbing motions) .

Their mid limbs used to be wings with hands, and still have a basically zygodactyl finger position that was helpful for holding onto branches (with the backwards facing finger), but over time they have been converted into terrestrial knuckle-walking limbs, with the one that swings back and forth being brought forwards to walk or swung back to adjust grip on big things they want to move or for balance on unstable terrain like ice . The fingers on this one are big and clumsy, pretty much only useful for digging, walking, or slashing.

Their back limbs also used to be for grasping but were mainly counterbalances, but have now turned into plantigrade walking limbs (and much like humans, that’s pretty much all they use them for). All have nonretractable claws.

Prectikar are viviparous and usually give birth to litters of up to 8.

They have a specific mating season, where their dimorphic traits will become more pronounced.

Males in rut will shed the feathers on their throat sac region and it will become a bright ambery yellow color, and they will also grow in longer feathers on their butt region (in a fan shape for display purposes. The dont have a true post anal tail like humans).

They will also develop some of that pinkish orange/yellow on their chest skin. Females go throguh estrus cycles and will also grow a more prominent butt feather crest, as well as some very long feathers around their neck, shoulders, and abdomen for babies to hold onto.

Their skin patches turn a much brighter shade of yellow to help direct newborns to where they can feed from. Once they give birth, they will start making an oily and thick secretion across the skin patch which is collected into a divot which the infant licks from. Part of why the babies hold onto them is so they can constantly lick the 'milk'so they can grow.

Newborns come out blind and hairless, but quickly grow in a thick down and open their eyes so they can climb on mom.

Once they're weaned, they'll drop off and use the muscles they gained hanging on and climbing to start moving with the adults. They grow very fast, and canes are a common sight in teens to help deal with the rapid bone and muscle growth.

Usually, it is only during this season where chest/skin related nudity standards change to be more conservative, since showing those colors means youre down to fuck and so doing that is usually restricted to in private with their partner or for bachelors.

They have very strict binaries for sex and gender based on this seasonal divide and religion.

Most tribes show gender identity through a piercing on their lower nose for male or chin for female (so dont worry, the main guy up there is showing some male presenting chest outside of the mating season, so hes fine).

Normally, only some cultures pierce their ears, which are like if owls had a little mobile flap of outer ear to swivel I stead of their whole head. Very little of it is actually flesh, and the sound is mainly captured by the feathers around it.

While they have a reputation otherwise, Prectikar are highly social within their tribal/family groups.

They regularly allogroom, greet each other with hugs, and usually travel in sibling groups. Households are multi generational.

They have a reputation as standoffish or irritable because they take things very differently and have other standards/specific body language truggers. also most other species treat them differently/with fear by default.

their upper pair of eyes is larger and focused on long distance vision while their lower pair is for close up vision, creatign a bifocal effect for them when using both at once.

Aaaaaand that oretty much everything, I think. I'll post some other arts related to them soon, but consider this the Master Post on the things you should know about them!!

The Challenge {2/2}

Aemond Targaryen x fem!bladesmith!reader Summary: It is time to deliver the sword to the prince. Warnings: 18+ only, nsfw, jousting, smut, caught in the act WC: 3.9k

HOTD Masterlist || Part One || Part Two

Two weeks passed quickly as you worked tirelessly on Prince Aemond’s sword. 

You had not heard from him since he left that morning and you were not sure whether or not you had expected him to send a message of some kind before you made the journey to King’s Landing. You couldn’t deny you were a little disappointed he hadn’t sent a raven - if for no other reason than to check in on the progress of your work. 

Nevertheless, you had gone above and beyond to create the masterpiece before you. 

It was by far the most expensive piece you had invested in and the twin sapphires alone had cost a small fortune but after being inset into the eyes of the dragon on the pommel you knew it was worth it. 

The sword was made of manganese steel imported from Dothraki, which was far lighter than iron, and had been folded with carbon dozens of times over to increase the tensile strength of the metal. The fierce dragon had been carved into the manganese steel and then dipped in gold but the snarling teeth were made of white gold and polished to perfection. 

There was no way to mistake this for any common blade and it was truly fit for royalty. 

A local leatherworker had taken the measurements of the sword and made a scabbard that would protect it while it was not in use and you slid the sword into the sheath before locking it into a travel box. 

“Your carriage is ready to leave, mistress,” Gerry said after knocking at your bedroom door. “Oh, you look lovely.”

The dress was stiff and uncomfortable and you wished you could travel in more sedate clothes but in public such a scandal could lead to incarceration and that would be bad for business. The other option was to wear the heavy cloaks of your work attire but even after a thorough washing they never smelt or looked very pleasant. 

“I look like a meringue,” you murmured, shrugging the puffy sleeves that capped just above your elbow. 

“Nonsense,” Gerry said with a giggle, taking it upon herself to straighten the layers of skirts so they hung neatly. “The prince will be lost for words, mistress.”

You narrowed your eyes at your housemaid. “What makes you say that?”

She couldn’t suppress the smile that she tried to hide behind her hand and shook her head. “The girls talk, mistress. Kasia and Tiff heard from Kyron, the stable boy, that the prince and his guard were arguing before they left.”

You shouldn't have been interested in gossip but you were leaning forward in anticipation as her smile grew. Finally you lost patience and huffed as she forced you to ask, “Arguing about what?”

“You, of course.”

“Me?”

“Aye, the prince confessed he had fallen to temptation of the flesh. That had to be you, right, mistress,” she said with a wink. “I imagine his highness has a date with the High Septon on his return. You were careful, right?”

You rolled your eyes and gave a droll nod. “Yes, mother.”

“Don’t bite my head off, I promised your ma I would watch over you, bless her soul. Now be on your way, it is a long ride.”

Kasia was already waiting at the front of the house with the carriage and you climbed into the cab before making space for her. You would have preferred for Gerry to make the three day journey with you but she wasn’t comfortable going anywhere near the capital, and you didn’t pry to find out why. 

The carriage driver whipped the reins and you jostled with the movement, eventually falling into a routine sway as the horses ambled along the road that would take you south to King's Landing. 

The noise of the crowd was unlike anything you had heard and the musicians playing an upbeat tune only added to the cacophony. Peddlers worked the stands around the stadium, selling their merchandise to the viewers, while food stalls were erected outside with the scent of their goods almost eradicating the smell from the horse stables beyond. 

Finding space on a bench seat, you pulled Kasia down beside you and stilled her leg that kept bouncing excitedly with every match that went by. You had arrived later than expected when the wheel of the carriage broke outside of Rosby and so far Ser Criston hadn’t lost a match in both jousting and sword fighting, but you were hoping to catch the next one.

You were beginning to tire of the harsh sun that beat down, the temperature enough to rival your workshop, and ready to find some solace in the shade when the next trumpets fared for the jousting final.

“Mistress, that is Prince Jacaerys,” Kasia gasped as she pointed to the house flag that had been raised and a chestnut steed trotted into the lists with a helmeted rider upon its back. “Who would dare strike a prince?”

You had an inkling as you looked to the other side of the arena and saw the flag of House Cole being draped onto the rung. “Unbelievable.”

A white stallion leisurely walked into the lists and you were the only one who wasn’t surprised to see Prince Aemond riding atop with his helmet tucked under his arm. Whispers began to spread along the rows of viewers as they realised it had been the One-Eyed Prince fighting under his knight’s banner the entire time. 

“What is the meaning of this, Aemond?” King Viserys asked as he rose slowly from the royal box. 

“It was pointed out that fighting as a prince may lead my opponents to go easy on me, and I would not have that shame,” he said with a smirk thrown Jacaerys’ way. “That need not be a problem now will it, nephew?”

Prince Jacaerys pushed his visor up over his helmet and dark hair tumbled out to frame his face. Even from so far away you could see his brown eyes were full of disdain and his jaw was clenched as he spoke through his teeth, “No problem, Uncle.”

It would have been embarrassing should he have said otherwise, he would have been practically admitting he only reached the finals because of his royal title whether or not it was true.

“Well played,” you chuckled to yourself as you watched Prince Aemond place his helmet on his head and shove a gloved hand out for his steward to give him the lance. 

In the royal box the mothers, Queen Alicent and Princess Rhaenrya, shot to their feet and rushed to the edge balustrade with concern etched into their faces. The look they shared both held reprehension for the other and you briefly wondered what it was about before a cheer erupted and your attention was brought back to the match.

The princes spurred their horses forward with a kick of the stirrups and you leaned forward in your seat with the rest of the crowd.

There was not a whisper in the air as anticipation held the spectators in silent suspension. To cheer either prince would be to insult the other so not a sound was made.

The horses reached the fence and raced towards each other with thundering hoofbeats. The distance narrowed and no one took a breath as they lowered their lances, the blunt tips aimed at the other.

From your vantage point in the stands you could see how Prince Aemond’s head was turned far more than Prince Jacaerys’ to account for the lost vision in his left eye but his aim was still well positioned. With the extra height he had over his nephew, Aemond’s reach was greater and his lance smashed into the Velaryon’s chest, glancing off the armour and under the shoulder plate.

A collective wince hissed across the crowd and the younger prince screamed as he was thrown from his horse. The scream was echoed by his mother and Princess Rhaenyra rushed from the royal box to check on his welfare along with the maesters. At least given the painful squirming on the ground, he was certainly alive.

Prince Aemond tore his helmet off and his silver hair shimmered in the brutal sunlight, it was almost too bright to look at directly but even with the glare there was no hiding the smirk on his face. Dismounting to the dirt, he sauntered over to his nephew and dropped to one knee beside him, his hand hovering over the wound he had dealt.

How you wished to be close enough to hear what he said, because although he looked like he was offering condolences there was no mistaking the disdain on his face or the amusement when Jacaerys weakly tried to push him away.

Looking up, Aemond saw his half sister nearing and rose to his feet, swiftly leaving the arena without a care for the splatterings of polite clapping for his win.

“That is my queue,” you said to Kasia as you grabbed the boxed sword from where you had kept it safely hidden beneath your skirts and rose to your feet. “I shall see you back at the inn for dinner.”

It wasn’t difficult to find Prince Aemond with his hair like a beacon. Everyone gave him a wide berth in the streets except for his trusted knight who noticed your approach first and sighed heavily. It was the sigh that caught Aemond’s attention and he turned to see what had elicited the annoyed sound from his friend.

The surefooted prince stumbled as he spotted you and his eye travelled your body from head to toe twice before he blinked and recovered.

“I almost didn’t recognise you,” he admitted and nodded his head to Ser Criston. “You may leave, I am sure my mother will want to accost you for the role you played today.”

The white cloak knight didn’t look pleased but nodded back before casting a glance your way and shaking his head. You couldn’t help but send him a sweet smile and bat your lashes at him with a dainty wave of your fingers, earning a chuff of a laugh from the prince.

“Blessed name day, my prince,” you greeted him when you were alone and once more walking towards the Red Keep. You held the box out for him, grateful you no longer had to lug it around the city. “As requested.”

“Do you have a sister?” he asked, taking it from your hands and tucking it under one arm. “You look rather similar to a woman I met a few weeks ago, though she was a little more scrappy and rather filthy.”

“Ha ha,” you exaggerated with a roll of your eyes. “Here I thought you were a prince but I have been fooled by a court jester. Funny how one and two are the same.”

“There she is.” He grinned and opened a door that led to a courtyard but the small joy he had disappeared in the company of the few people milling about. They shifted uncomfortably in his presence and the place fell silent until he had passed under an archway and turned down a corridor.

You were utterly lost by the many turns it took to come to the room he eventually led you, closing the door behind with a click of the lock.

The box thudded as he placed it on a writing desk that was covered with books and letters with the dragon crest drawn upon. They couldn’t have been important as he shoved them aside and unlatched the lid.

“Congratulations on your win,” you said as he opened the reward. “You must be proud.”

“I don’t give a shit about tourneys,” Prince Aemond retorted as he unsheathed the sword before twirling it in his hands. “I just wanted to see the look on that bastard's face when he lost.”

He continued to inspect the weapon, staring down its length to ensure it was straight before pricking his finger on the tip to test how sharp it was. He gave a satisfied hum at the conclusion and you bit your lip at the reminder of the similar sounds he had made.

Finally he brought the pommel closer and peered at the intricate dragon with intense scrutiny. “Incredible.”

“I’m almost reluctant to part ways with it,” you teased and he gripped the handle tighter as if he were prepared to fight you for it. “But you seem rather attached already and I’m feeling charitable.”

“How generous of you.” He rolled his eye and sheathed the sword before buckling the scabbard to his belt and pointing to a large purse on the table. “I suppose that means I can return that small fortune to the coffers then.”

You scoffed and crossed your arms over your chest. “I’m not that charitable.”

Unaccustomed to wearing dresses, you hadn’t realised crossing your arms had pushed your breasts up dangerously high and they were barely contained by the corset. It was only the lingering stare of the prince and the widening of his eye that drew your attention down where he was fixated.

“Not one raven, not even a ‘hello, how have you been?’” you tutted and ran your fingertips teasingly over the skin of your bosom. “I should be insulted.”

His eye followed the movement hungrily. “You have the attention of a prince, insulted is not the word that comes to mind.” One long stride closed the distance and you craned your head back to hold his stare.

“Did you confess your sins to the Septon?” you had to know as you felt the heat of his armour warming your skin. “Did you repent for the sordid touch?”

“I did. And I swore I would banish all thoughts of you from my mind.” He swallowed deeply and reached for the bowtie that held the laces of your corset together. “I did so knowing it was a lie.”

You cursed under your breath as his words affected you more than you expected and you covered his hand with yours, guiding it to the delicate laces so he would hurry up and free you from the constraints of the dress. You could finally breathe liberally and you inhaled deeply as the heavy materials fell to the floor but there wasn’t time to waste as you reached for his armour.

Your deft fingers made quick work of the buckles and Aemond caught the heavy plates before they could clatter to the floor, instead depositing them to the side where they wouldn’t cause an accident. 

Next went his damp clothes, the material strewn across the room as you wrapped each layer like a gift - eager to get to the prize that waited beneath.

“I’ve heard men fuck like a lion after fighting in a tourney, like the sweat gets their blood pumping,” you stated as you push him into the chair in front of his desk and straddled his lap. 

He grabbed your hips and lined himself up with your entrance, pulling up down his length until you couldn’t take anymore and gasped at the fullness. He still wasn’t done, not when he wanted to tease you with more than his body, his lips following the line of your jaw until he reached your ear and whispered, “Lions are nothing compared to a dragon.”

Your nails dug into his shoulders as you held on tight and rolled your hips to take your pleasure from him. He let you have your moment, enjoying the warmth of your cunt as it tightened around him and the press of your breasts to his skin, but then he wanted to chase his own ecstasy and gripped your hips. His arms should have been weak and trembling from the day spent fighting but they were still strong as he guided you up and down his cock. 

“Fuck, Aemond, you feel so good.”

“Hmm,” he growled in your ear, “I am your prince.”

“You can be my prince out there but right now you are just a man, now fuck me like one.”

In an instant you were empty and he was on his feet, spinning you around and bending you over his desk. The void you were missing was filled with one rough thrust and his hand slapped over your mouth to muffle the cry of dark pleasure that erupted. 

Gone was the restraint, gone was the control. Prince Aemond was unleashed. 

The wood cut into your hips and his ink pot spilled, books tumbled to the floor and the armour resting against the table leg toppled over. The clatter of metal was like the herald bells being struck and shouts came from outside the door. 

“Fuck,” Aemond growled at the knock that quickly followed. “Go away.”

“My prince, it is your mother,” Ser Criston called out.

“Fuck.” This time the sound wasn’t from frustration but fear and he pulled out in a rush to find his clothes scattered around the room. “Give me a minute.”

“Cole, move,” a surprisingly stern order came from a gentle feminine voice and the lock on the door was opened from the outside before the door swung open.

“Mother,” Aemond greeted quietly as he covered his manhood and bowed his head.

“I expect this unbecoming behaviour from your brother but,” she sighed dramatically and Aemond’s head dipped further at the disappointment radiating from his mother, “not my sweet Aemond.”

You coughed a laugh and covered your mouth as the sound drew her attention to you. You didn’t have enough hands to cover your nakedness and your dress was inconveniently in a head at her feet. 

“Who are you?”

“I’m no one, your highness,” you said as you shifted on your feet and tried to shimmy across to hide behind the prince. 

“Her name is Y/N,” Ser Criston said without even stepping into the room.

“The bladesmith you visited, who is also the daughter of the metal merchant?” she confirmed as she took a second look at you before turning her back. “Cover yourselves.”

“Yes, mother.” Aemond grabbed your dress first and tossed it with more force than necessary before swiping his own undershorts up from the floor. “I will go to the Sept and confess.”

“Don’t bother,” Alicent scoffed with a toss of her head. “You are not contrite. No, I have another way for you to repent and save your honour.”

It was far harder to get the dress back on than it was to get off, especially since it had taken the help of Kasia last time. You were still busy trying to thread the laces back through the eyelets when the Queen dropped the bomb.

“You will wed her, Aemond. I won’t have any more shame on this house.”

“Mother,” Aemond interrupted but she held up a hand to silence him, something that wasn’t going to stop you.

“Beg your pardon, majesty, but fuck that. I’ll take a vow of silence and be on my way out of this dreadful city.”

“Silence? From you?” she said with a humourless laugh. “If the people weren't still watching the tourney the entire residence would have heard your filth. No, I’ve made up my mind.”

“More like lost it,” you uttered before Aemond pinned you with a glare that had you closing your mouth once again.

“Cole, make sure my son’s betrothed finds her way to her own room. Alone.” With that she departed and Aemond’s posture slumped.

The moment she was out of hearing range you turned to him. “I’m serious, I’m not marrying you, or anyone for that matter.”

“I don’t believe we have a choice.”

“I do.” You tied a knot in the lace just enough to be sure it wouldn’t suddenly come apart as you stormed out of the room and straight into that bothersome guard. “Move.” Ser Criston looked at the prince but you snapped your fingers in front of his face. “I’m talking to you, so don’t look at him.”

“Let her pass,” Aemond said and your head spun incredulously towards him to find him already dressed. “I’ll escort her.”

“To the ladies wing?” he asked as he moved aside and let you through.

“To the stables.” Aemond caught your arm and turned away from his guard to head in the other direction. “I’ll not marry a stranger because I wanted to wet my prick.”

“How uncouth,” you teased as you hurried to match his pace through the Red Keep. “Such a filthy mouth, Prince Aemond.”

He growled as he pushed you against the cold stone wall and caged you between his arms, his erection hard against your hip through the layers of cloth separating you. “Now is not the time to tease me.”

“Yeah?” you pushed back, grinding yourself shamelessly against him in the empty hall. “Or what?”

Aemond’s fist hit the stone with a groan before his hand circled your wrist and tugged you with a renewed pace. “You were born of the Seven Hells, I swear.”

“What makes you say that, my prince?” I asked sweetly. “My devilish good looks or what was it my stable boy overheard…oh yes, my tempting flesh?”

Aemond opened a door and the irritating smell of stale dust told you the storage room was not often used before he pushed you inside and closed the door behind him. “This is the last time,” he promised himself as he bunched the material of your skirt up over your waist and freed himself from his trousers.

You knew you would miss the feeling of him stretching your cunt with each thrust and the way he stroked your walls until they clenched around him. None of your past lovers had been able to fill you quite like he did, or take your attitude either.

“You can always visit me,” you offered in a moment of weakness as the tension of the oncoming orgasm built, “when your sword needs taking care of.”

The sounds of your bodies slapping together filled the room and the table you were sitting upon rocked as Aemond filled the space between your legs. His hand dropped your skirts so he could cradle your face, his thumb tracing your lips. “The bladesmiths here will suffice.”

“I wasn’t talking about that sword.” You nipped at his thumb and smirked, feeling him react instantly as he rutted harder against you. Your legs wrapped around his and your hands slipped under his shirt as you pulled him closer, chasing the high that was cresting inside you.

Your orgasm erased your ability to think and your body jerked as wave after wave of pleasure washed over you. The feel of your cunt pulsing around him tipped the prince over the edge and he released a shuddering breath as he spilled himself within you.

There was no time to enjoy the afterglow and Aemond tucked himself back into his trousers before pulling your skirt down over your legs that were still dangling off the table.

“I doubt my mother will let me leave the keep for a while after this,” he said as he helped you off the table and onto shaking legs.

“Do you always do what your mother says?” You asked him, fixing one of the clasps of his vest that had come undone.

“Don’t.”

Your lips twitched as you saw the fire in his eye. “Don’t what, my prince?”

“Don’t challenge me.”

“Afraid to lose?”

He chuckled and caught your chin between his thumb and forefinger. His teeth bared as he leaned closer and his silver hair brushed your shoulder while his hot breath kissed your skin.

“You should know by now…I never lose.”

Chapter 199 Trivia (Part 1)

Are we reaching a second Age of Exploration?

The cover page may be a reference to Berserk, as it's been exactly a month since the writer for it, Kentaro Miura, died.

Why Suika is only half-armored I'm not sure.

The first device Xeno makes is for cryogenic fractional distillation. As he says, it cools air to separate the elements within.

Think of it as the reverse of alcohol distillation: rather than boiling it to separate the gases, you cool it to separate the liquids!

I don't really understand why Kohaku is so confused by argon specifically, as she knows someone who was named after it. Ginro even fought Argo(n) in the Grand Bout!

Geiger counters work as Xeno says: an inert gas becoming conductive when a particle of radiation ionizes the gas, allowing a current to pass. This is either connected to a display to show the readout or something that makes the iconic clicks.

Chrome loves his rock-detecting devices!

Also the sound effects here are literally "gaigā". Very Pokémon.

This boat is definitely made by the villagers, likely by Kaseki himself, due to the design. He was the one to make all the boats for them, after all.

Ilmenite is the most important ore of titanium, formula FeTiO3. Molybdenite is a common ore of molybdenum, formula MoS2. Chrome ore (probably chromite) is self-explanatory, but can be found in oxide form with several other metals such as iron or manganese.

Pyrochlore ore is actually a mineral group, but in Araxá, it's all about getting niobium. Nickel comes in many ores due to how common it is, and can be found in laterite (laterite is a soil/rock type, not an ore).

Alloyed together, these metals make the strong, lightweight materials needed for aircraft and spacecraft.

Most of them are also either radioactive (pyrochlore) or have radioactive inclusions (rhenium-187 in molybdenite) which is why the Geiger counter works!

Also, Gen is wearing shoes!

This isn't the first time Monster Hunter has been referenced! The first one is way back in chapter 19, which helped Senku realise that something fishy was going with in the village...

Abrasion Resistance Plate Exporters

Abrasion resistant steel is used every bit as a part of regions where there is prone to be a high degree of abrasion area or wear of the steel plate. Average applications are in truck couches, connections to diggers and earth movers and in preparing applications in the mining business.

The key quality for wear resistant steels is their hardness. We offer wear plate as per its hardness measured on the Brinnell Hardness Test- for the most part in 400HB evaluations.

Abrasion resistance plates, also known as wear-resistant plates, are specially engineered metal plates designed to withstand the mechanical wear and tear caused by friction, impact, and scraping. These plates are critical in industries where materials undergo high-intensity interactions with abrasive surfaces. The primary purpose of abrasion-resistant plates is to reduce the degradation of machinery and equipment by offering superior resistance to abrasive forces.

400 HB steel is in excess of 3 times harder than soft steel (120HB), even only a third as strong as stainless steel (1250HB). Sample exercises are for development apparatus, skips, bulldozers and excavators, buckets and conveyors.

Steels with a high HB rating (Briness Hardness) are proposed for applications where wear or scraped area safety is critical. The profit of utilizing abrasion resistant steel is that the plant, apparatus or developments working life can be amplified extensively. This can fundamentally enhance the unwavering quality, toughness and well being of structures and gear. It additionally helps to diminish the support expenses connected with wear and breakdown of plant.

The steel is extinguished which gives wear safety; to enhance hardness, it might also be tempered. Bring down HB's for the most part give great cool twisting properties and great weldability. Weldability is not, by and large lessened as the hardness increments.

Abrasion resistance plates are typically made from high-carbon steel or alloys with a combination of other elements like manganese, chromium, and molybdenum. These elements enhance the hardness and strength of the plates, ensuring they can withstand harsh conditions. The plates are commonly available in various hardness levels, which are measured in Brinell hardness, ranging from 400 HB to 600 HB.

The properties of abrasion-resistant plates include:

High Hardness: The high hardness of the plate prevents wear caused by constant friction or impact.

Durability: These plates are designed to last longer compared to regular steel, reducing the frequency of replacements and maintenance costs.

Toughness: While they are hard, abrasion-resistant plates also offer a degree of toughness, allowing them to absorb impact without cracking.

Corrosion Resistance: Some types of abrasion-resistant plates are treated to resist rust and corrosion, extending their service life in harsh environments.

Wear resistant steels are not fitting for utilization at temperatures in excess of 250 degree C as the hotness can result in changes to the material properties.

Yields for 400HB steel are in the region of 100MPA with tough qualities of around 1250MPA.It is not enrolled at universal standard affiliation, for example, ASTM Jin, Din so each one production has their Brand name like Rockhard 400, ABREX, SUMIHARD, RAEX, JFE, XAR, BIS.

Applications of Abrasion Resistance Plates

Abrasion-resistant plates are widely used across various industries where high wear and tear are common. Some key applications include:

Mining and Construction: In mining and construction, heavy machinery is often exposed to abrasive materials like gravel, sand, and ore. These plates are used in the construction of hoppers, chutes, and conveyor systems.

Steel Mills: In steel production, abrasion resistance plates are used in the lining of chutes, hoppers, and crushers where friction from metal fragments and slag can be intense.

Agriculture: Agricultural machinery such as plows, tillers, and harvesters also benefit from abrasion-resistant plates, which enhance their longevity when working with soil and crops.

Material Handling: In industries where materials are transported or processed on conveyors or chutes, abrasion resistance plates are used to line these areas, minimizing wear on machinery parts.

Scrap Handling: Plates are used in equipment that processes scrap metal or other hard materials. These plates ensure that the equipment can withstand the heavy-duty impact and friction encountered during operations.

Benefits

Extended Equipment Life: By using abrasion-resistant plates, machinery and equipment are protected from premature wear and tear, thus reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

Cost Efficiency: While the initial investment in abrasion-resistant plates can be higher, their ability to increase the longevity of equipment makes them cost-effective in the long run.

Improved Safety: By ensuring equipment is less likely to break down or malfunction due to excessive wear, abrasion-resistant plates contribute to a safer working environment.

Performance Enhancement: These plates help maintain the operational efficiency of equipment by reducing friction and damage, leading to smoother operations.

Conclusion

Abrasion resistance plates are a vital component in many industries where machinery is exposed to high levels of wear and tear. They are engineered to provide superior hardness, toughness, and durability, ensuring that industrial processes can continue without unexpected breakdowns. From mining and construction to agriculture and steel mills, abrasion-resistant plates are indispensable for maintaining the efficiency, safety, and longevity of equipment.

Optimizing Bucket Elevator Discharge Chutes

In 2022, a cement plant initiated a project to renovate its bucket elevator discharge chutes. They entrusted Nantong Darko Building Materials Machinery Co., Ltd. with the entire process, from production to equipment installation and operation. Darko quickly dispatched technicians to the site for an on-the-spot evaluation. They identified several key issues with the discharge chutes.

Main Issues

1.Insufficient Wear Resistance: The discharge chutes used wear-resistant manganese steel plates, which had poor durability. This led to multiple wear-through points and material leakage. The worn manganese steel plates became uneven, causing material to stick.

2.Unreasonable Structural Design: The angle in the middle of the discharge chutes was too steep, failing to effectively cushion the material. As a result, the lower part of the chute experienced severe wear.

3.Uneven Design of the Sloped Chute: The design of the sloped section was uneven. Material concentrated on one side, while the other side showed little wear. This uneven force distribution caused severe wear on the side in contact with the material and led to material accumulation.

Solutions

To address these issues, Darko's technicians proposed practical solutions:

1.Optimize Overall Structure: They adjusted the angle in the middle of the discharge chutes to reduce the impact force of the material. This modification effectively slows down and cushions the material.

2.Redesign the Sloped Chute: They changed the lower sloped section from an irregular rhomboid shape to a parallelogram. This design distributes the impact force more evenly across the bottom and sides, extending the equipment's lifespan.

3.Replace Wear Materials: They substituted wear-resistant ceramic liners for the manganese steel plates. The ceramic liners offer superior wear and corrosion resistance, and their smooth surface reduces material buildup.

Simulation Testing and Expected Results

Darko's technicians conducted simulation tests using the new solutions. They expect to increase the lifespan of the bucket elevator discharge chutes by 3 to 5 times, improve work efficiency by 3% to 12%, and reduce the likelihood of material blockage by 20% to 30%.

These design optimizations will significantly enhance the performance of the discharge chutes. They will ensure the cement plant's production efficiency and the long-term stability of the equipment. If you are facing similar issues, feel free to contact us. We are ready to provide you with professional solutions.

Cone crushers for high-hardness materials

Cone crushers are widely used in industries for crushing high-hardness materials such as granite, basalt, quartz, and hard ores like iron ore, copper ore, and manganese ore. These crushers are known for their robust design, high performance, and adaptability to challenging material processing requirements. In this article, we will explore the benefits, working principles, benefits, and key considerations for choosing cone crushers for high-hardness materials.

Working Principle of Cone Crushers

A cone crusher operates on the principle of compressing and crushing materials between a rotating mantle and a stationary concave. The material enters the crusher chamber at the top, where it is subjected to pressure and friction as the mantle moves. The compression reduces the size of the material until it passes through the narrow gap between the mantle and the concave. This crushing action continues until the material is sufficiently reduced to the desired size.

Benefits of Cone Crushers for High-Hardness Materials

High Crushing Efficiency: Cone crushers are efficient at reducing the size of hard materials due to their crushing mechanism, which applies pressure from all directions. This helps in producing finer products in a single pass.

Versatility: Cone crushers can handle a wide range of materials, from soft rocks to hard ores. Their ability to crush high-hardness materials makes them ideal for industries like mining, quarrying, and construction.

Excellent Product Shape: Cone crushers are known for producing cubic-shaped aggregate, which is essential for certain applications, such as road construction and asphalt production.

Adjustable Output Size: Many cone crushers, especially hydraulic models, allow for easy adjustment of the product size, enabling flexibility in meeting the specific requirements of different projects.

Long Wear Life: The design of cone crushers ensures that the wear parts, such as the mantle and concave, last longer under heavy-duty operations, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

Considerations When Choosing a Cone Crusher

When selecting a cone crusher for high-hardness materials, several factors should be considered:

Material Characteristics: Understanding the hardness, abrasiveness, and moisture content of the material to be crushed is crucial for selecting the appropriate cone crusher.

Crushing Capacity: The crusher’s capacity should match the throughput required for the application. High-hardness materials may require larger or more powerful crushers.

Adjustability and Control: Hydraulic cone crushers offer more precise control over the output size and adjustments to suit different needs.

Maintenance and Serviceability: High-hardness materials can cause wear, so it’s important to choose crushers that are easy to maintain and service.

Cone crushers are highly effective for crushing high-hardness materials, offering advantages such as high efficiency, versatility, and durability. Whether used in mining, construction, or aggregate production, cone crushers play a vital role in processing challenging materials. Choosing the right model based on material properties, required throughput, and maintenance considerations is key to optimizing crusher performance and extending its lifespan.

#1132 Why do rechargeable batteries lose power as they age?

Why do rechargeable batteries lose power as they age? Because the process of recharging a battery is not 100% efficient and because of chemical degradation. These days, the majority of us use rechargeable batteries every day. While writing this, I have four devices currently recharging. I am sure you have something similar while you are reading this. I don’t know whether electric cars will become more popular or if we will move into hydrogen cars, but we are going to need a lot more batteries there as well. More and more disposable batteries are being created every year, and you might think that we won’t need disposable batteries anymore, but the number of disposable batteries is also increasing. This is probably because there are vastly more small, low power devices that need disposable batteries than before. How does a rechargeable battery work? A disposable battery is a one-way source of energy, but a rechargeable battery is two-way. With a regular battery, there are two chemicals. One contains a lot of electrons and the other doesn’t. They are usually manganese dioxide and zinc. Manganese oxide has a lot of electrons and zinc doesn’t. The electrons are strongly attracted to the zinc and want to get there as quickly as they can. The two chemicals are separated by an alkaline barrier to stop the electrons just going straight from the one chemical to the other. This is potassium hydroxide. At each end of the battery, you have a plate called an electrode, which conducts the electrons out of and back into the battery. When you connect the battery to a circuit, the electrons flow from the manganese dioxide, along the wire, through whatever device you need them to power, then back to the battery, flowing into the zinc. The more you use the battery, the more electrons flow to the zinc until the manganese dioxide has no electrons left and the battery is dead. A rechargeable battery does this, but you can also reverse the process. When you connect a rechargeable battery to its charger, the current from the power source you are using forces the electrons back into the first chemical. You have to use a higher voltage than you get from the battery in order to force the electrons back. Rechargeable batteries often take a long time to recharge because if you force the electrons back in too quickly, the resistance will create heat, which will damage or destroy the battery. If electric cars are going to become a common thing, then faster charging batteries will be necessary to rival refueling at petrol pumps. Why do rechargeable batteries lose power as they age? There are a few reasons. The first reason is that recharging a battery is not a 100% efficient process. Some of the energy can be lost as heat and not all of the atoms in the chemical will regain electrons. Each time you charge the device, a few more electrons will be lost, and this will slowly worsen. The second problem is that interfering materials can build up on the electrode plates. The most common rechargeable battery that we probably use is a lithium battery. When you plug in your device and the current forces the electrons to move back into the lithium, some of the electrons will attach themselves to the negative electrode and they form a metallic lithium layer. This layer will block electrons from going back into the lithium. As you continue to use the battery, this metallic lithium layer will build up, getting thicker, and blocking more and more electrons. All of this will reduce the capacity and it will mean that the battery runs out of power much more quickly. The third problem is wear and tear on the physical parts of the battery. We tend to think that something with no moving parts cannot break, but a battery does have moving parts, even if they are just electrons. Each time we recharge the battery, the materials inside can be damaged and the connections and electrodes can crack. Over time, damage can build up, contributing to the loss of power. An iPhone battery, for example, is rated to lose about 20% of its overall capacity after 1000 charging cycles, which is about two and a half years. A lot of companies are spending a lot of money to research a better rechargeable battery than lithium. Lithium works very well, but it does have a lot of problems. One possible alternative is a sodium-ion battery. They are safer, can charge more quickly, and possibly last longer. And this is what I learned today. - #159 How does a battery work - #1125 Are electric planes possible? - #467 What is a solid-state battery? - #741 How fast could an electric car go? - #878 What does paint primer do?
