324 Forging the Exoskeleton

After he said that, Master Liu began to put the outer shell back on the instrument. The people around him breathed a sigh of relief.

The forging apparatus was one of the eight core pieces of equipment in the development plant. If it was damaged, it would affect the progress of many people’s work.

Wu Mo could see that the device was fine from the other side, so he did not intend to stay any longer. He did not even say goodbye and directly left through the crowd.

Looking at the young man’s disappearing figure, the researcher, Lu Jian, appeared a little gloomy. After working in the armory for so long, no one had ever dared to go against him in public except for the leaders.

He would definitely settle this score in the future!

Since the matter at the research facility had been properly resolved, the onlookers returned to their own duties.

By then, Wu Mo had arrived at another area of the research facility, and he was measuring the various values of the polyethylene alloy.

First of all, he used a hardness testing machine. Although the diamond knife could roughly determine the hardness of an object, it could not give him specific data.

[The hardness of the material is 87 points. Measurement complete.]

After a short while, the value of the polyethylene alloy appeared on the device. Wu Mo noted it down in his mind and continued with the next test.

He was most concerned about how much the alloy weighed per square centimeter because the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear needed to fly at a high altitude. Every 10 grams of its overall weight consumed energy.

Therefore, to ensure that all of its functions would run normally, Wu Mo needed to make every part of the mobile device light enough.

Just Wu Mo was thinking, the density-measuring device produced its result.

He focused his attention on the screen, and a line of numbers immediately appeared.

[Metal Density: 1.24 -1.31 cubic centimeters]

“Really… It’s a success!”

Wu Mo’s eyes suddenly lit up when he looked at the string of numbers.

The density of an ordinary alloy with high hardness was at least six points per cubic centimeter. Even light materials that abandoned hardness would not score less than three points.

Only blacksmiths who were extremely familiar with the data of various materials would understand what the string of numbers in front of them meant!

If a six-star master blacksmith had been around, he would have been shocked by the test results!

Even Wu Mo himself could not believe that he had actually created an alloy with excellent performance in his second experiment!

He was so excited that he immediately held the polyethylene alloy in his hand and muttered to himself, “With this new type of alloy, the subsequent three-dimensional gears will be able to display 100% of their effects!”

After all, the first experiment had already been a success. He only needed to follow the steps and cast more alloy. After smelting enough alloy, he could officially start casting the exoskeleton armor!

As for the internal components and features of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, Wu Mo already had a clear idea. As long as he was given enough time, he would definitely be able to replicate it perfectly!

Feeling excited, Wu Mo immediately left the research facility and jogged back to his personal dormitory.

He planned to prepare a large number of the materials needed to forge the new alloy and try to get all the alloys needed for the exoskeleton armor within a week.

With the Divine-grade Forging Space’s time flow, which was 100 times slower, he could easily achieve that seemingly impossible speed.

Therefore, in the following morning, Wu Mo checked the Invisibility Armor and Spirit Wave Sword’s quality in the production workshop and registered the sample data on the computer.

In the afternoon, he would head to the research facility and use the forging apparatus to smelt the new alloy.

After the huge commotion last time, the other staff in the research facility had gotten used to the noises made by Wu Mo in the next few days. In any case, his work was within the instrument’s acceptable range, and it would not be damaged.

They had no right to interfere with how Wu Mo used it.

For the remaining of his time, he entered the Divine-grade Forging Space and continued to refine the polyethylene, the metals that had an affinity to it, as well as various supplementary materials.

If he had free time, he would read the relevant documents, so his days were very fulfilling.

During the week, Academician Xu called him once to ask about his work at the military armory.

After learning that everything was fine and that the new device was in the development stage, Academician Xu finally felt relieved.

He also mentioned that he had already contacted Liao Dongcheng. As soon as the third technological breakthrough thesis was published, he would immediately draft a letter of recommendation.

Once Wu Mo received this news, his enthusiasm surged.

Every time he was close to exhaustion, he would leave the forging space unwillingly and fall asleep in his personal dormitory.

To forge the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear as soon as possible, he had also bought spirit potions from the system’s point store many times. It was almost as if he was going all out.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and a week had gone by.

At three in the afternoon, Wu Mo successfully smelted the last portion of polyethylene alloy.

He put the alloy that was still steaming into his Interspatial Ring and gently touched the cold outer shell of the forging machine. Then, he put away his work pass and went straight to his office.

He unlocked the door, pushed the door open, and locked it.

Wu Mo took off his insulated gloves and placed them on the computer desk. He took a deep breath and his eyes gradually stopped on the computer screen.

The final model of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear appeared on the screen.

“These materials should be enough to make a one-piece armor. After I successfully cast the outer shell, I’ll start to process the various devices.”

After determining his goal, he leaned back in his chair and slowly closed his eyes. His mind was still for a moment, and his intuition immediately disappeared.

As his body became lighter, Wu Mo slowly opened his eyes. In front of him was a chaotic world.

Only the central working area was emitting a faint white light.

“Let’s begin!”

He walked to his work desk and snapped his fingers. The next second, dozens of light gray polyethylene blocks appeared on the table.

Although there were not many metal blocks, it took Wu Mo an entire week to make them. In order to make the alloy, he had exchanged his points for spirit potions many times.

If it was not for the huge difference between the smithing dimension and the real world, he probably would not be able to tell which was the real world.

Being in the forging space for a long time had also caused Wu Mo to have many related symptoms, one of which was not sleeping well.

The reason that supported him to work so hard was his original intention to help those disabled cultivators!

Realizing that he was a little distracted, Wu Mo immediately put on the craftsman handguard and activated the immersive state, ready to cast the exoskeleton armor in one go.

After calming down, Wu Mo went to the furnace and put in some basic materials to heat it up.
