Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam?
Chapter 149 - A New Mission

She was still very surprised by Wu Mo's promotion even though she realized that it might have something to do with the Invisibility Armor.

It was shocking that Wu Mo had been promoted from a soldier to a second lieutenant.

In the fifth Research Department, there were many senior researchers who were still sergeants or corporals.

Even many professors were mere lieutenants. Only Academician Xu and Professor Liu had reached the ranks of lieutenant colonel and major respectively because of their outstanding contributions.

In the entire fifth Research Department, the president was the only one who had reached the position of colonel.

As for the ranked generals, they were all scattered on the battlefield, offering their youth and time for the city's safety.

Wu Mo was already considered outstanding among his peers to reach the rank of lieutenant before 30.

Not to mention, Wu Mo had only been in the official organization for less than three months, and one could say that he was quite strong!

Zhou Ning sighed internally.

Wu Mo, who was standing at the door, immediately opened the document curiously. He wanted to see what task Academician Xu had assigned him.

It was a commission for improving the design of standard weapons.

After seeing the line of words in the commission, Wu Mo felt a little confused.

Good fellow, come again!

He had just broken into the base of standard equipment!

Xu Wuyue saw the change in Wu Mo's expression and immediately explained with a smile, "Wu Mo, this is the new task that I've arranged for you. However, there's no rush for this commission. You just have to complete it within half a year.

Wu Mo heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that the time limit was relatively loose.

He was so focused on the improvement and mass production of the Invisibility Armor that he would not be able to complete another urgent task.

He could take it if the project was not urgent.

After all, the core technology of standard weaponry was very advanced. If he could master it all, it would be helpful for him to improve his strength.

With that in mind, Wu Mo promptly nodded and said, "Okay, Academician Xu, I'll accept this task."

If he wanted to improve his skills, he would need a lot of practice. It was not a bad thing for Wu Mo to get in touch with new knowledge as soon as possible.

Xu Wuyue patted Wu Mo's shoulder and spoke with a kind smile. "In three days, the Third Military Region of North China will be holding a drill. You can tag along and watch it. You can gain insight into the soldiers fighting against the beasts on the front line.

"We need to understand the military's basic situation. That way, we can improve and design new standard weapons according to the soldiers' needs."

Speaking of which, Xu Wuyue remembered an emergency from a few years ago. He had been sent to the first battle area in North China temporarily to put himself in the urgent research and development of equipment.

That time, he had personally seen countless soldiers and generals bathed in blood. He had even seen the ferocious creatures of the Ten Thousand Races through a telescope.

On the battlefield, there would always be the loss of lives. For the safety of their homes and the people of the Nine Provinces, even if soldiers died in the war zone, the rest never took a step back, vowing to protect the border's defense with their lives.

"Phew..."

Xu Wuyue felt as if there was a huge rock on his chest.

There was an inexplicable sense of urgency.

"Academician Xu, I'll be fine. Don't worry."

Wu Mo immediately explained because he noticed that Academician Xu was a little absent-minded, so he thought that Academician Xu was worried about his work progress.

Xu Wuyue only recovered from his state of absence after Wu Mo's words.

His throat was a little dry, and his eyes had become sharper.

"Well, there's still a long time. Don't stay up too late every day. If you ruin your health, it won't be worth it."

Xu Wuyue turned around and left.

Zhou Ning gave Wu Mo a deep look and entered the black business car right after. She then left the dormitory area with Academician Xu.

After the car disappeared on the road, Wu Mo put the document back into his Interspatial Ring.

"Hmm, it seems like this is a good opportunity."

Wu Mo's eyes flickered slightly. He thought that this was a good opportunity to make a breakthrough in research. If he could improve the standard weapon, it would be considered as two technological breakthroughs, and he would naturally be one step closer to his ticket to the exchange!

Realizing this, Wu Mo could not help but walk a little more briskly. He was ready to continue working on the transformation of the Invisibility Armor.

He took out his phone and opened the National Artifact Research Department's app to send a message to the staff in the materials warehouse.

According to the priority of the project, the required materials must be delivered as soon as possible.

Therefore, he immediately made a list of the materials needed to improve the armor and sent it to the staff.

Everything went as he expected. Less than half an hour after he sent the message, the roar of an engine came from outside the courtyard.

The staff of the materials warehouse delivered all the materials listed by Wu Mo, without missing a single one.

"Mr. Wu, please sign here."

A young man in his 30s handed over the confirmation form and a pen while he panted heavily.

Wu Mo checked the materials first. After confirming that everything was in order, he signed for it.

"You've worked hard."

He snapped his fingers, and a white light flashed in front of him. The large box of materials instantly disappeared.

The staff of the materials warehouse looked at Wu Mo with envy, thinking that if everyone in their Department could have a ring like that, would it not greatly increase their work efficiency?

He could just get a motorcycle and deliver the goods.

After sending off the people from the materials warehouse, Wu Mo immediately returned to the villa.

He closed the door of the living room and prepared to go to the second floor to begin his work.

What he needed to do now was to improve and mass-produce. He could do the improvement alone. As for the mass-production, he would need many researchers to work together.

Tap tap tap tap... He ran up to the second floor.

Wu Mo closed the door and drew the curtains, adjusting himself to work.

He still maintained the same curiosity and passion as before when it came to forging. Even if he worked for seven to eight hours continuously, he would not feel bored at all.

He slowly closed his eyes and calmed his mind, allowing his five senses to be cut off.

His entire being was immersed in a kind of floating feeling.

When he opened his eyes again, there was only endless darkness in front of him.

Only the workbench, furnace, and forging-related equipment area were emitting white light.

Wu Mo first opened the interface of the system store and spent 400 points to buy two miniature spirit power recovery potions.

After all, improving was a long battle. Even if there were sufficient materials, it was not something that could be completed in a short time.

He quickly walked to the work desk and snapped his fingers again. The materials he had obtained earlier appeared on the work desk.

Looking at the colorful materials before him, Wu Mo could not help but praise them in his heart.

As expected of the fifth Research Department... They had such an extensive warehouse of materials.

Wu Mo picked up a Parasol Tree Core that was as white as jade and felt the slight coolness that passed to his fingertips. He then began to plan the steps for this improvement.
