322 The Method of Vacuum Induction Smelting
With the system’s document extraction function, he only needed to pay a portion of the points.
The system would organize the knowledge he wanted into a document and partially translate it so that he could read it without any obstacles.
The number of points required was also determined by the difficulty of the document.
The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear forging document last time had cost him a few thousand points.
Although this function was very convenient, it also required a lot of points as a prerequisite.
At first, Wu Mo had thought that he would not be able to spend all his points in a short time, but it seemed that he would not be able to spend the remaining points that he had if he continued to use them this way.
By one o’clock in the afternoon, Wu Mo had already taken lunch and a break in the research facility’s office. He was ready to start the second smelting of the new alloy.
This time, it was different from yesterday’s morning. Since it was already time for work, when Wu Mo arrived at the huge forging equipment, he found that there were already several people waiting in line.
Among the people in the queue, there were employees from the mass-production factory and R&D personnel from other departments. According to the 10-minute time limit for each person, it would probably take an hour for his turn to arrive.
Stretching his back, Wu Mo first registered his name in the queuing system. Then, he sat down and waited.
As he sat in his chair and closed his eyes to rest, Wu Mo sorted out the steps he needed to take to smelt the alloy. He wanted to forge the new alloy in one go.
During this process, the people in front of the forging equipment came and went. It was not until an hour later that his name was announced on the queuing system.
Wu Mo immediately stood up from his seat when he heard the announcement.
He sniffed and quickly went to the control panel.
Wu Mo subconsciously looked behind him and realized that there were more and more people waiting to use the equipment.
Time was of the essence. Without any hesitation, he took out the materials he had prepared in his Interspatial Ring. At the same time, he inserted his work card next to the control panel and successfully activated the instrument.
Ho…
White smoke rose from the instrument’s exhaust pipe, and then the feeder in front of Wu Mo opened.
Looking at the dark feeder, Wu Mo immediately threw in the metal and high-molecular polyethylene material. Next, he added several auxiliary materials to help the reaction.
When he saw the feeder close, he immediately returned to the console and selected the vacuum smelting mode from the interface.
His actions were witnessed by several staff members who were waiting around him, but they were only a little curious, so they did not question him.
“I hope I’ll succeed this time.”
After adjusting all the values, Wu Mo pressed the instrument’s operation button expressionlessly. The next moment, the huge instrument in front of him made a buzzing sound. It was obvious that an internal reaction had begun.
The casting instrument was about three meters high, and about two meters wide and thick. In addition to the feeder directly below, the only interactive parts were the left console and the large display screen above.
Normally, when the staff in the armory used the machine, the machine would only shake slightly.
After all, ordinary high-temperature forging did not consume much energy or configuration.
However, at this moment, the instrument was not only shaking continuously, but it was also constantly producing a buzzing sound, like a leather ball leaking air.
The unusual movement attracted many people around him. Those who were waiting in line were also surprised to see this situation.
They were all regular customers of the research facility, so they knew most of the equipment like the back of their hands.
Yet, the forging equipment in front of them, which had been working normally for God knows how many days, had suddenly become restless. It was really strange.
“What’s going on? Why is the forging apparatus making such a big noise?”
“Hurry up and get Master Liu to come over and check if the forging apparatus is broken.”
“I noticed that the instrument seems to be in the vacuum smelting mode. Who is that young man?”
“What kind of materials is he forging? They’re actually making such a big scene!!”
The people around began talking at once. Among them were young people who were only over 30 years old, and old men with gray hair who had worked hard for decades.
Right then, they were all looking at the device that was making the strange noise, not knowing what was happening.
“Move, move. You guys are blocking the way and affecting the instrument’s heat dissipation. How can there be no problems?”
Just as the crowd was discussing, an ear-piercing sound suddenly came from behind. Many people immediately turned around and saw two men walking quickly toward them.
“Master Liu, please take a look. The forging apparatus is our research facility’s treasure. If there’s really a problem, the Research and Development Department will definitely be implicated,” the middle-aged man who was walking in front immediately said to the man in the blue coat after scolding the people around him.
Everyone looked at the man in blue with a hint of fear in their eyes, and they moved to the sides in tacit understanding.
The man who was called Master Liu was about 40 years old. He had a handsome face, well-defined features, and a pair of deep eyes.
At that moment, Master Liu was frowning as he stared doubtfully at the forging apparatus that was making a buzzing sound nearby.
“Master Liu, is the problem with the forging apparatus serious?”
The man who had scolded the crowd earlier walked over quickly and asked nervously.
“Let’s wait and see what caused the problem,” Master Liu said in a low voice after a moment of silence.
He was experienced in repairing modern equipment, but he could not see any problem with the device in front of him, and there was no error on the screen.
His intuition told him that the abnormality in the instrument was probably related to the young man in front of him.
“Uh… that’s fine.”
The R&D personnel at the side nodded helplessly. Then, as if he had nowhere to vent his anger, he pointed at Wu Mo, who was standing next to the forging instrument’s operation table, and shouted, “You brat, what the hell are you doing? What kind of trash materials did you put in there? If you really broke the forging apparatus, you wouldn’t be able to afford it even if I sold you!!”
Wu Mo naturally did not seem good. However, he was focused on the new alloy, so he kept his anger hidden.
Soon, more and more people gathered around. Many people who came to the research facility to work were attracted by the loud buzzing.
On the other side, the forging instrument that was working on the vacuum melting was also coming to an end.
As the work countdown on the screen became shorter and shorter, Wu Mo’s heart was slowly hanging.
It would be fine if he succeeded this time, but if he failed again, he would not be able to find any clues in a short time!
As if sensing something, the people around them also stared at the loading hole of the forging machine. The buzzing sound became more and more intense, and the moment the countdown on the screen ended, a loud noise suddenly came from the machine.
