Chapter 315 - 315 An Unexpected Effect
315 An Unexpected Effect
Above the entrance was an eye-catching screen that recorded the working status of the equipment and various data.
Wu Mo was standing on the instrument’s control panel. He could adjust the various data of the instrument for different materials and scenes.
However, a work card was required to activate the device, and it could only be used for a maximum of 10 minutes.
The instrument’s main function was to quickly process a large number of materials and fuse them into composite materials that met the requirements. Whether it was metal or other rare materials, it could be fused in large quant.i.ties.
However, this fusion was only possible if the purity of the original material was high enough because the instrument did not have the effect of purifying material.
After all, no matter how good the equipment was, it only provided a supplementary effect. There were many kinds of materials, and the melting point of each was different.
However, if one wanted to forge a high-quality weapon, one would still need to be skilled enough.
It just so happened that Wu Mo’s Interspatial Ring still had a lot of purified materials left, so he took the opportunity to experience the effect of the instrument.
Soon, he put four different materials into the machine and adjusted the hardness and various other required variables.
The moment the entrance below closed, the entire device immediately began to work.
The instrument that was a few meters high kept making a buzzing sound. At this time, Wu Mo felt the temperature around him rise a little.
“I hope this high-tech equipment will surprise me.”
Looking at the words “processing” displayed on the instrument’s LCD screen, Wu Mo was somewhat expectant.
A few minutes later, the buzzing of the instrument stopped abruptly. Then, the hatch below opened, and a faint mist drifted out.
Wu Mo lowered his head and saw that the hatch, which had been empty after absorbing the materials, now had a light silver metal block.
The metal block was only the size of a fist, and it was in the shape of a cuboid.
Wu Mo immediately put on a pair of heat-resistant gloves and took it out. However, he was surprised to find that he did not sense any warmth from the light silver metal block at all!
Wu Mo’s pupils shrank when he realized this.
‘Gasp… In just a few minutes, not only did you fuse the composite materials according to the requirements, but you also cooled it down to normal temperature so that it can be used right away!’ he subconsciously said in his heart, and his jaw unwittingly dropped.
It was a little too efficient.
One should know that a normal purified solution needed at least half an hour to cool down, and most metals required several times the cooling time.
Even if it was the high-quality workbench in the Divine-grade Forging s.p.a.ce that had the effect of rapid cooling, it would still take at least 10 minutes to cool down.
It did not have the insanely overpowered effect of this device at all.
He was excited for a moment, but he quickly calmed down.
After pondering for a while, he quickly found the instrument’s limitations.
The forging equipment before him was several meters long and wide, and it weighed several dozen tons.
With the powerful energy supply from the central control, it was not too difficult to achieve such an effect.
Even though the equipment’s material processing efficiency was extremely high, there were still many limitations.
For example, it was not like the Divine-grade Forging s.p.a.ce, which could be used anywhere and anytime.
There were also many restrictions on the values that could be controlled and adjusted. While the material could be good enough, the instrument could not forge anything with a hardness or toughness of more than 90.
Nevertheless, despite these constraints, the materials before him were outstanding enough.
If the Fifth Research Department could be equipped with one, the research and development speed of those researchers would also greatly improve.
Just as Wu Mo was thinking about how to get such a device to the Fifth Research Department, the device in front of him suddenly beeped.
Then, his work card was pushed out, showing that his time was up.
The ear-piercing sound snapped Wu Mo back to reality. He subconsciously looked at the line behind him and showed an apologetic expression. Then, he took his work card and left.
He wandered around the research facility and found a new piece of equipment that he was interested in.
He had already taken the metal block produced by the forging instrument to the detector and checked it once. The value obtained was exactly the same as the one he had set.
The light silver metal piece had a hardness of 86 points, and it was very flexible. It was incredibly suitable for the exoskeleton of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.
However, this was only the initial version. He would definitely continue to test it in the future and make many improvements according to his needs.
He wanted to develop the most suitable metal to cast the exoskeleton armor for the Three-Dimensional Maneuver Gear within half a month.
As for the subsequent jet equipment, he would need to use many of the equipment there.
Although there was still a long way to go, Wu Mo had already seen hope. He was looking forward to the day when the installation was completed.
About two hours later, he had already tried more than a dozen of the selected instruments. If it had not been for the long queue for some of the instruments, Wu Mo would not have stopped there.
During this experience, Wu Mo gained a lot of knowledge and had a deeper understanding of the forging equipment.
Among the devices he had experienced today, there was a melting device that could efficiently forge materials, a casting device that was accurate to the millimeter, and a large furnace that could reach tens of thousands of temperatures in 10 seconds.
He had also gotten to use many pieces of super advanced equipment that were beyond his worldview. Among them, the one that left the deepest impression on him was an equipment that could cast large amounts of equipment parts in a short time. It was called the electromagnetic casting machine.
A piece of military equipment or weapon often needed to be made up of several parts. For example, a sharp sword needed a hilt, blade, and a ta.s.sel.
To produce a weapon, these three parts had to be cast first, then combined and a.s.sembled.
The conventional method was to forge each part individually. Even if it was an integrated device, it could only make the process faster by about two times.
However, the electromagnetic casting machine that Wu Mo had experienced this afternoon could suppress and cast dozens of parts at the same time, which almost raised the production speed of equipment to a new level.
After experiencing so many modern instruments in the research plant in one afternoon, Wu Mo’s confidence in forging the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear within a month increased.
He was not too sure before, but after experiencing these instruments, it was as if he had taken a calming pill. He decided that after the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear was developed, he would get a few sets of these modern instruments and bring them back to the Research Department.
At four o ‘clock in the afternoon, Wu Mo left the research facility.
He first went to the armory’s material warehouse and received some of the materials needed to cast his Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.
After that, he returned to his dormitory and prepared to enter the Divine-grade Forging s.p.a.ce. He would develop the sample of the material that would be used to make the exoskeleton according to the doc.u.ments provided by the system.
“As expected of the armory, they’re so generous,” Wu Mo muttered to himself with a face full of joy as he looked at the pile of materials in front of him that were emitting a light blue glow.
