Grekar Steel / Adsilium
An extremely resistant compound later revealed to be a whole new element within the Island of Stability, Grekar Steel (otherwise known as Adsilium after 2133 AD) is famous for its extreme resiliance against most adversity against it, capable of stopping rifle bullets with only a 1mm thick layer and tank/artillery shells with an 8mm thick layer, with a video of a pistol round being stopped by a paper-thin layer of it going viral throughout the Internet.
Properties
Material Characteristics
Extreme resistance against punctures, pull and compression. Highly hard and resiliant, able to stop bullets with ease and not much damage to it. Blades cause little to no damage, with all chainsaws that were tested against a 8mm layer of it ending up completely broken.
Physical & Chemical Properties
Null electrical conductiveness and zero magnetic properties. With is melting point at 3800°C, it is also highly resistant against temperatures, with higher-quality Grekar Steel having its melting point nearing the 5000°C threshold. Extremely low levels of radioactivity.
Origin & Source
Discovered by scientist Dr. Birdoswald Paulo da Silva in the 28th of January 2100 when he was trying to make a new and resiliant material for the Zosuntuk Project. It is a compound between several highly resistant metals such as tungsten, steel, and others put through a refinining and mixing process, involving several steps on which the materials undergo deep physical and chemical changes.
Life & Expiration
Half life of 19,000,000 years, however, the material itself can decay within a few decades although it requires harsh conditions and null or little maintenance for it to happen.
History & Usage
History
After its discovery in 2100 AD by Dr. Paulo da Silva, it was quickly used within the Zosuntuk Project and made into some of the strongest armor the world had ever seen up to that point. It also gained use within the manufacture of tanks and planes, being generally used for military purposes due to its extremely useful and resistant properties. It was largely perceived as nearly magical for its early existance, many debating how even such a material was possible. but it eventually it was revealed that it was, in fact, a new element in 2133 and designated as "Adsilium". After the Mongol-Grekar War, it was used in highly-resistant spaceships and space stations alongside some heavy-duty infrastructure or vehicles such as trains and boats. It became a resource used for mostly civilian use until the Martian Rebellion of 2159 where it once again became reserved for Imperial military use by orders of Kernalo Borowski. It would stay like that until an era of the Iwimican reign on 2210, where she would make sure to reimplement it on a wide variety of things. However, its top-secret recipe was then lost after the Fall of the Empire in 2247 after Rekaz's death in battle and the Fall of Alsace-Lorraine. The few remnants of the material were then widely used in various top-tier military equipment, but with the proper maintenance knowledge having been lost, they quickly deteriorated and eventually all remnants of Adsilium were erased off the face of the galaxy.
