Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam?
Chapter 317 - 317 Hardcore Knowledge

317 Hardcore Knowledge

Every step in the process of forging a new alloy was complicated. Even Wu Mo, who had a lot of combat experience, could not help but feel a little tired.

However, in the end, he still managed to successfully extract the alloy metal. The alloy production would only be considered complete when the crimson liquid was poured into the cooled crucible.

On the other side, the permometer’s tower permeation work was coming to an end. As numerous solutions were broken down, the polyethylene in the materials was finally extracted and turned into sesame-sized particles, which settled and fused at the bottom of the instrument.

This was high-molecular-weight polyethylene, a super-performance material that had excellent effects and could be applied to ship manufacturing and aviation.

Now that the two materials were ready, he only had to wait until tomorrow to try out the success or failure with the modern equipment in the research facility.

Thinking of this, Wu Mo was a little excited. If the final fusion tomorrow was successful, it would mean that the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear could be quickly cast.

“Let’s wait and see.” Looking at the surging dark purple light around him, Wu Mo slowly closed his eyes and said expectantly.

…

Not long after, Wu Mo’s consciousness returned to reality.

It was already six o’clock in the evening, and darkness had almost filled the sky outside the window. Many of the buildings in the armory were lit up.

Since he had already tried to forge the materials in the forging space, Wu Mo had nothing to do now. He immediately picked up the document that Elder Huang had given him and read it.

Wu Mo sat at the desk and scanned the contents of the document.

It was a booklet with only a dozen pages. It introduced the history of the armory, as well as how to use and repair commonly used equipment.

It seemed to help new employees better understand and adapt to everything in the armory.

However, when he read the latter half of the book, Wu Mo found that the content suddenly got heavier. It talked about the working principles of many large instruments and the prerequisites to realize the technical means.

After nearly two hours, Wu Mo finally understood the 17-page book.

Wu Mo placed it back on the table and could not help but sigh.

“As expected of the armory. Even the New Employee’s Handbook is so hardcore.”

He had studied plenty of theoretical knowledge related to forging and the personal notes of many forging masters, but he was almost stumped by this booklet.

Many of the advanced theories exceeded his spectrum of knowledge, and he still needed to look them up before he could understand their meaning.

Wu Mo finally understood why the senior researchers at the Fifth Research Department were unwilling to work at the armory when they attended the monthly meeting.

Compared with the Fifth Research Department, which was their comfort zone, the armory was a completely unfamiliar territory.

Whether it was the knowledge they had learned or the technical means they relied on to survive, they were not of much use here.

Even if his master, who had the best combat skills, came, he would not be able to keep up with the rhythm.

In addition, the older one was, the slower one would learn new things, and some would even resist it from the bottom of their hearts.

At this thought, Wu Mo felt even more fortunate for his determination to come here.

If he had missed this trip, it would have been even more difficult for him to come into contact with such knowledge in the future.

Looking at the warm yellow light from the table lamp, Wu Mo leaned against the table and frowned.

Refining the alloy in the forging space had already used up a portion of his spiritual strength. Now that he had read through the booklet, he was becoming somewhat distracted.

He looked out of the window and realized that it was getting late. He still had to go to the factory to develop the new equipment tomorrow to forge the polyethylene alloy.

With that thought in mind, Wu Mo immediately got to his feet. After he was done washing up, he pushed the door open and entered the bedroom.

As he lay on the soft bed, he was overwhelmed by fatigue. He slowly closed his eyes, and images flashed through his mind.

In them were all the things he had seen and heard today.

There was a huge central control console, huge and novel equipment around it, the eccentric Elder Huang, and the dense Misty Array that could block people’s perception.

A few minutes later, all the images returned to darkness, leaving only the sound of even breathing in the room.

…

The next morning at six, Wu Mo was awakened by his biological clock.

When he subconsciously opened his eyes, he realized that he was not in the small research room or the huge villa’s master bedroom. He was stunned.

A few seconds later, he came to his senses and sat on the edge of the bed, laughing.

“I’m going to start my main job tomorrow. I should get the results of the experiment while I still have free time.”

Looking at the work pass on the bedside table, Wu Mo immediately remembered his first goal. He quickly got out of bed, washed up, and got dressed in one go.

He put on his work pass and headed to the living room.

Since the research facility only opened at eight in the morning, Wu Mo had enough time to fill his stomach before he headed there.

He looked at his phone. It was not even seven in the morning yet, and he could not waste the prime time of the morning. Wu Mo snapped his fingers, and a notebook appeared in his hand.

This notebook with a slightly yellowed cover was a reward given to him by the military chief when he received second-class merit. Since he had been busy learning the theories behind the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, Wu Mo had not really read this notebook.

Now that he was in the armory, time was tight as well, but at least he could replace a few moments to read the notes of some famous people.

The contents of the notebook were very precious. Wu Mo had studied such notes many times but was still filled with emotion when he read them.

He had already reached the peak of five stars and was only one step away from the six-star rank.

However, the decades-old insights of those master blacksmiths were still rare treasures to him.

His mind was like a surging tide. Wu Mo carefully read every sentence in the handwritten book, for fear of missing any important knowledge.

The dullness of the subject did not make it easier for Wu Mo to forget what he learned.

In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed. It was only when his stomach growled in protest that Wu Mo slowly regained his senses.

Seeing that it was almost time, he immediately got up and rushed to the cafeteria closest to the research facility.

Wu Mo finished his breakfast and rushed back to the research facility just in time for the gate outside the research facility to be opened. Many martial artists with real guns were lined up on both sides, waiting for the security personnel to take their places.

...

At this time, there were already many staff members gathered outside the research facility, which surprised Wu Mo.

“It seems that even in such an advanced armory, internal complications were still inevitable.”

He sighed in his heart. Seeing that the security personnel were ready, he immediately walked toward the gate.

Just like the first time he entered the research facility, his personal items needed to go through the security machine. He also had to go through the sensor machine, similar to the security check before taking a train.

After that, Wu Mo put on his ID card and walked into the mist.

The area ahead was covered in thick mist, and there was a cool feeling around him. A moment later, his footsteps cleared the entrance, and he appeared in the research facility.

The scene before him was still like a futuristic world. Countless steam pipes from all directions converged in front of the central console and went deep underground.
