Chapter 218: Forging Wholeheartedly
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It was as if he had bought ten sets of clothes when he was shopping and had only intended to sell a jacket.
It was quite ridiculous.
The journey from the capital’s Blacksmith Guild to the fifth Research Department took nearly two hours, and the fare cost more than ¥10.
Wu Mo took out his ID and entered the fifth Research Department.
At this moment, the sky above his head was gradually darkening, so Wu Mo quickly walked toward the villa.
The day was almost over, but the flowers and gra.s.s in the courtyard were still full of vitality and exuding an exuberant green.
He pushed the door open and returned to his living room.
Wu Mo sat down on the couch first and began to plan what to do next.
He had gone out and brought back the materials needed for the Spirit Wave Sword. They included the High-frequency Stone, graphite powder, ceramic fiber, and other precious as well as rare items.
He could already start forging.
It was just that strictly speaking, the Spirit Wave Sword was an a.s.sembly of three parts, which were an oscillating device, a pulse device, and a molecular handle.
Only after these three devices were completely forged could they be a.s.sembled into the Spirit Wave Sword.
Wu Mo needed to complete the core part of the weapon first, the oscillation device.
He had to solve the problem of energy supply, whereby it had to be durable enough to produce long-lasting effects.
As for the knowledge required to make the device, Wu Mo had already studied more than half of it. He would be able to complete it within 10 days without issue!
“Okay, let’s do this.”
With a snap of his fingers, Wu Mo immediately ran up to the second floor. After closing the doors and windows with practiced ease, he calmed his mind and entered the forging s.p.a.ce.
His five senses were cut off, and all he could see was darkness.
When Wu Mo opened his eyes, he was already in the forging s.p.a.ce.
The high-quality workbench was in front of him, and the furnace, mold machine, and forging table were behind it.
“Phew, let’s start.”
He took a deep breath and immediately placed all the materials he had obtained from the auction on the work table. A hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
He caressed the smooth and cold work table, and his entire person was immersed in a state of calmness.
He began to forge the oscillation device.
Wu Mo was the only busy ent.i.ty in the boundless forging s.p.a.ce.
He would fuse the materials and look up information.
Then, he would go back in time to gain experience from each failure, overcoming difficult problems continuously.
Sometimes, he would frown and contemplate because he could not understand or master a certain technology.
Other times, he would be overjoyed when he solved a difficult problem and cleared the doubts in his heart.
However, it was more of a boring forging process, where he had to polish every step to the best.
Wu Mo stayed in the forging s.p.a.ce for more than 10 hours every day, with the same drive as the first day.
In the blink of an eye, he had already spent 28 days in the forging s.p.a.ce.
His daily routine had been very simple during this long period.
Every morning, he would get up, run, and eat. Then, he would set up a recliner in the courtyard and read books.
In the afternoon, he would occasionally go out for a stroll, but most of the time, he would return to his bedroom and record his thoughts, as well as daily challenges, with a pen and paper.
At around 8.00 pm, after eating dinner, he would officially enter the forging s.p.a.ce and put the day’s thoughts and insights into action.
With his careful polishing, the three devices had begun to take shape.
They were only a few days away from completion.
During this period, Wu Mo had been to the internal reference room a few times. Unfortunately, after nearly five months of diligent reading, he had read most of the books there. While he did not really have a photographic memory, he had learned plenty of skills.
The day before yesterday, he returned a book to the internal reference room and came back empty-handed for the first time.
When the two staff members noticed that Wu Mo had seemingly given up on the internal room, they were visibly surprised.
Aside from going back and forth to the internal reference room, Wu Mo did not contact anyone.
He even blocked the group chat on his phone.
Wu Mo’s whole body was like a taut bowstring, especially during the last one or two days.
He did intend on relaxing in the slightest.
It had been 30 days since Wu Mo accepted the weapon development mission.
He had reached the end of his cultivation.
He had used almost all of his skills and finally a.s.sembled the three parts of the weapon together. He had utilized an array to stabilize the energy within as well.
After a simple test, he found that the energy was stable, so he stopped working on it.
The Spirit Wave Sword, which had taken him a month to forge, was not of a very high grade. Nevertheless, because it had been integrated with a lot of scientific knowledge, Wu Mo did not understand how the weapon worked in the beginning.
Fortunately, he had enough patience. After reading the doc.u.ments sent by the system twice, he finally understood the basic principles.
In the end, he completed this product that could be said to be a combination of spirit energy and science.
In his bedroom on the second floor of the villa, Wu Mo looked at the Spirit Wave Sword on the table with an excited expression on his face.
It was a black, cylindrical piece of equipment. Its main body had been cast from a piece of fused metal, and its alloy surface had been coated with a layer of Star Rock paint that could isolate high heat.
It made sure that when the oscillation device was activated, the high temperature generated would not cause damage to the weapon’s handle.
The two ends of the cylinder were fixed with circles of rubber threads, and three b.u.t.tons that emitted a faint light were at the center.
They corresponded to the middle, high, and low gears.
The design of the entire hilt was quite modern, and at first glance, it had a little cyberpunk flair.
There was a black hole in the front end of the hilt, and there was also a pair of strange devices embedded on both sides.
The sword was only 30 centimeters long, and it weighed about 580 grams.
‘System, please appraise this equipment.’
Wu mo could not wait any longer as he muttered in his heart.

[Equipment Evaluation: This is a product of the collision between modern technology and the revival of spirit energy. It can instantly cause a lot of damage, but its cooldown time is one of its weaknesses, which can be easily countered. Even so, it is still a rare one among Epic-grade equipment.]
