Chapter 312 - 312 The Shocking Research Facility
312 The Shocking Research Facility
The Invisibility Armor and Spirit Wave Sword were era-defining works that surpassed technological limitations. Wu Mo had also been rewarded handsomely for them, and even his military rank had risen from that of a soldier to a major.
However, this equipment, which even the military leaders valued, was gaudy to Elder Huang.
How could Wu Mo not be angry?
Just as he was about to open his mouth to explain, Elder Huang revealed an impatient expression before him. “Enough. You don’t have to explain. I don’t have that much time to waste on you.
“Since you’re here to review the quality of our mass production process, come with me. I’ll assign you a room first.”
After Elder Huang finished speaking, he walked back straight away.
The two people on his left and right smiled kindly at Wu Mo and followed him closely.
Although Wu Mo was a little depressed, the quality of their mass production was related to the Fifth Research Department’s interests and reputation. Even if he was a little dissatisfied, he could not neglect his work.
After all, he still needed to use the modern equipment in the armory to create the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.
Thinking of this, Wu Mo chased after the rest.
Armory No. 64 occupied a large area. Its factories were scattered all over the place, and there were a few high-rise buildings. There were also trucks filled with materials passing by from time to time, making it appear extremely prosperous.
Wu Mo kept looking around the armory as he trailed after Elder Huang.
Right then, he was surprised to find that the old man, whom the couple in front of him addressed as Elder Huang, had unfathomable spirit power that even he could not detect.
Even the man and woman beside Elder Huang had boundless spirit power. A rough estimate showed that they were at least early six-star blacksmiths.
This sudden discovery caused Wu Mo to look at Elder Huang in a different light. There was now a hint of respect in his eyes.
After a while, the four of them arrived at a large factory.
“This is where you’ll be working in the future. We’ll bring you in to familiarize you with everything first. After that, we’ll assign you tasks and a resting place.” Elder Huang looked at Wu Mo and explained the following process.
Wu Mo would naturally not refuse the opportunity to visit the modern mass-production factory. He immediately followed Elder Huang and two other people inside.
The moment they opened the factory’s door, the inside opened up. Bright light shone down from the ceiling, illuminating everything without a speck of dust.
The factory was huge, and it could accommodate nearly 1,000 staff members.
The various departments within were well-arranged, and all kinds of modern facilities that Wu Mo had never seen before appeared before him, making his eyes spin!
Meanwhile, the workers in the factory were producing equipment in an orderly manner.
With the help of cutting-edge equipment, a production line that originally required nine workstations could operate safely with only five people.
Most of the people working in the factory were young men, but there were one or two old men with white hair in each department. Although they were far away, it was impossible to detect their spirit power.
However, just by looking at their appearance and the respect of the workers around them, one could tell that they were the soul of the department.
As Wu Mo observed the modern factory before him and the workers’ orderly working state, he could not help but sigh.
The workshops in the Fifth Research Department paled in comparison to the factory in Armory No. 64.
It seemed that he had made the right decision to take on this job and visit the armory!
“Ahem ahem… In two days, the eight production lines in the factory will fully produce the Invisibility Armor and Spirit Wave Sword. If the workers encounter any problems or technical difficulties, you will be responsible for them.
“If you’re done with the tour, come with me to get your room.”
After Elder Huang finished speaking, he left without looking back. He had no intention of asking Wu Mo for his opinion.
Although Wu Mo was extremely curious about the factory, this was obviously not the time, so he left the factory with Elder Huang.
A few turns later, the group arrived at the armory’s core unit, the research and development plant.
The middle-aged man standing next to Elder Huang immediately introduced it. “You’ve just arrived and aren’t familiar with this place, so let me tell you about it.
“The place we’re about to enter is called the research facility. As the name implies, it’s a place where we improve and forge equipment.”
Hearing the man’s words, Wu Mo subconsciously raised his head and looked at the building in front of him. It had a different architectural style from the surrounding factories.
The middle-aged man spoke with pride when he saw the change in Wu Mo’s expression.
“Although our research technology is slightly behind that of the Research Department, with the help of modern technology, much of the equipment invented by our armory is also being used in the war zone on a large scale.
“The research facility has a lot of space and numerous instruments. It’s not a problem to forge Legendary equipment.”
Wu Mo nodded, appearing surprised. “As expected of the armory that supplies equipment and resources to the various battlefields. I never thought it would be so generous, though!”
Hearing Wu Mo’s words, the woman beside him laughed and said, “It’s still too early to be impressed. You’ll be even more surprised when we go in.”
The woman smiled proudly and looked at Wu Mo with confidence.
“Ahem, alright, let’s not waste any more time. Let’s go in,” Elder Huang immediately urged when he saw the three of them slow down.
Wu Mo quickened his pace. At the same time, his curiosity was piqued. He wanted to see how far Armory No. 64 had developed in the field of forging.
The research facility’s exterior was guarded by cultivators with extraordinary strength. There were also all kinds of detection devices inside to ensure that no unrelated people were allowed within.
After checking his ID and going through the machine’s test, Wu Mo successfully passed the checkpoint and entered the research facility.
The four of them passed through a Misty Array that blocked their vision and immediately appeared in the research facility.
Swish!
Before he could open his eyes, Wu Mo heard a loud jet of air.
He quickly opened his eyes, but in the next second, he was shocked by the scene that unfolded before him.
From the outside, the research facility only looked like a magnificent factory that was less than 10 meters tall.
However, its internal structure was shocking.
One should note that even the prosperous Fifth Research Department only had small laboratories.
Aside from workbench furnaces, there were at most casting instruments.
These sets of instruments took up less than 20 square meters.
However, there were several huge instruments that were seven to eight meters tall in the research facility!
Moreover, the interior of the research facility appeared to be more than twice as large as it did on the outside.
There were all kinds of strange instruments, some of which Wu Mo had seen before, and some of which had appeared in exhibitions.
However, Wu Mo did not know what the effects of most of the instruments were.
This simply refreshed his views.
