Chapter 353 - 353 Solving the Problem
353 Solving the Problem
Coincidentally, he had encountered some problems in the work of improving the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, so he took the opportunity to have a little discussion with Elder Huang.
In their less than 10 minutes of communication, Elder Huang had given him a lot of useful advice, which also made Wu Mo’s plan a lot clearer.
Elder Huang was the person with the best forging skills in the armory after all. Whether it was interaction between the materials or the mastery of every forging technique, he had pretty much done everything.
Every time Wu Mo asked a question, Elder Huang was able to give the best answer without thinking.
He had such a huge amount of knowledge and knew skillful combat techniques.
All of these were things that the current Wu Mo could only dream of achieving.
However, it was a pity that Wu Mo’s schedule was too tight during at the moment. He only chatted with Elder Huang for a while before leaving in a hurry.
Looking at the flickering flames in the furnace before him, Wu Mo turned his attention back to the forging of the materials.
His eyes were filled with determination as he gently moved the handle to control the fire outlet, adjusting the flames inside the furnace to the most suitable level.
He was currently pre-processing the materials that he had taken from the materials warehouse two days ago.
The impurities in the materials were removed, and the preliminary calcination began.
When all the materials with different properties returned to their liquid state, he would proceed with the second step of fusion.
The furnace within the forging space was still unable to carry out all kinds of complicated processing methods.
Hence, the final step had to be completed through the forging apparatus in the research facility.
If even the first step required the facility’s forging apparatus, it would definitely slow down the other workers’ progress.
Thus, Wu Mo had gotten used to using the furnace in the forging space to complete the first step. After he collected all the materials, he would use the facility’s forging apparatus to complete the rest of the steps.
Wu Mo had enough authority to use the forging apparatus every day without having to wait in line.
However, he had never enjoyed being too independent in life.
Anyway, the flow of time within the forging space was slow, so he could save some time.
Although there were still a lot of things to do every day, after six or seven days of adaptation, Wu Mo was now able to complete his own tasks incredibly well. He could even take a break every day and spare half an hour to read books and supplement his knowledge.
The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear’s improvement plan was also progressing steadily.
Wu Mo already had a solution to the first problem, which was the plating falling off easily. All he needed to do was use the forging apparatus to process the last batch of materials.
Once he was done, he had to smear the new layer on the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear’s polymer metal plate.
Then, he could use the principle of reverse osmosis to combine the two into one and completely solve this problem.
As for the exoskeleton armor’s shortcomings, such as the lack of heat resistance and the complicated operation of the mechanics, Wu Mo had a new idea to solve them.
He was confident that it would take him 20 days at most to improve the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.
“The calcination is almost done.”
Wu Mo’s expression changed slightly as he looked through the observation window and observed the bubbling liquid mixture of the materials in the furnace. He immediately reached out and moved the operating lever to close some of the furnace’s slits, causing the internal temperature to drop rapidly.
When the flame was completely extinguished, he put on a pair of insulated gloves and poured the material solution that had turned into a viscous liquid into the crucible.
Looking at the dark green liquid, which was pungent and the same volume as a fist, Wu Mo immediately activated the quick cooling function on the workbench.
Only now did he realize that the facilities in the forging space could not keep up with his needs.
In terms of the cooling and fusing the solution, the forging apparatus in the research facility was more than 10 times faster than the facilities in the forging space.
In terms of practical casting functions, the hundreds of instruments in the factory could meet almost everyone’s needs.
On the other hand, the forging space that had always accompanied him almost had the same functions as when he first used it.
Since he had seen and experienced all kinds of modern cutting-edge equipment in the armory that Wu Mo’s demand for hardware in the forging field had risen.
However, due to the stagnation of his cultivation, the various equipment in the Divine-grade Forging Space had not been upgraded for several months.
The workstation and furnace were both of Premium grade, and Wu Mo had spent points twice to upgrade them.
As for the casting equipment, due to the higher requirements for upgrading, its current strength had yet to meet them for upgrading to the Premium grade.
Thus, Wu Mo had only upgraded it once so far.
It was precisely because Wu Mo’s strength had remained at the peak of the five-star rank for too long that the equipment in the forging space was unable to meet his needs.
Fortunately, the Divine-grade Forging Space had a function that slowed down time by a hundredfold, so Wu Mo was still very dependent on it.
After all, if improved Legendary equipment within a month without the Divine Forging Space, it would be like cheating.
It would be impossible to complete this mission in the real world.
Thanks to the system’s help and Wu Mo’s academic spirit, he was able to achieve his current achievements.
Even so, Wu Mo’s desire to become a six-star blacksmith as soon as possible continued to stir.
To a blacksmith, the gap between the two ranks was like heaven and earth.
Whether it was the ability to gain insight into the quality of equipment materials or whether the casting process could be done with ease, these influences were all related to the individual’s rank.
In the field of forging, anyone ranked below six stars would only get a sneak peek.
They would have the ability to use spirit power to identify equipment and materials.
However, if you wanted to cast Legendary or even Divine equipment, you needed a blacksmith of six stars and above who could complete it alone.
Of course, the above was only for ordinary people with average talent.
If one was born in a prestigious family and had been taught by a master blacksmith from a young age, one who was ranked five stars might be able to forge Legendary-grade equipment.
However, for an ordinary person like Wu Mo who had been born in a mountain village, if he did not have the opportunity or a noble’s help, no matter how hard he studied, he would be dispensable to the royal family. He would probably not be able to reach the six-star rank even if he worked hard for half his life.
Therefore, Wu Mo dared not slack off in the slightest. Even though no one had ever urged him to work on a project, there was still a tight string in his heart that drove him to continue working hard.
Whether it was for his original intention or for his family, Wu Mo had never thought of stopping for such a long time.
While he was contemplating, he suddenly felt a slight vibration from his finger on the worktable.
Wu Mo subconsciously turned his head and noticed that the material solution in the crucible had already cooled down.
