Chapter 290 - 290 Completed Design
290 Completed Design
At six o’clock in the evening, Wu Mo rushed back to the laboratory building as the last ray of light in the sky dissipated.
He was incredibly satisfied with dinner and a lot less dispirited now.
Returning to the familiar laboratory, Wu Mo continued to improve the 3D model of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear on his computer. Whenever he encountered something he did not understand, he would enter the Divine-grade Forging s.p.a.ce to learn.
He had spent thousands on the doc.u.ment, but he had only read a small part of it. There were still many techniques that he had yet to master.
Time was of the essence, and the year-end conference was getting closer and closer. He had to finish the gear in advance, then contact Liao Dongcheng’s higher-ups and try to apply for a spot as soon as possible.
If he could complete it successfully, not only would he be able to partic.i.p.ate in the exchange conference as planned, but he would also be able to help Lone Wolf sooner.
Lone Wolf was incredibly powerful. He was already a peak six-star cultivator and also a powerful presence in the special forces. If his leg injury did not recover, it would definitely affect his strength.
However, Wu Mo now had the Craftsman’s Gloves, which allowed him to immerse himself in learning, so his speed in completing the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear would definitely be faster.
Time flew by, and it was already late at night.
Most of the rooms in the research building had fallen into silence. Only a certain laboratory on the top floor was still illuminated by a dim yellow light.
It was already 11.00 pm, and most of the researchers had left three hours ago.
Only Wu Mo was still tirelessly adjusting the details of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear’s model.
His brows were slightly furrowed, and an unknown light of wonder was flashing in his eyes. At times he was excited, other times he was distressed.
The model displayed on the computer screen before him had changed incredibly from its first version.
“Using ropes to shoot and pull back the force isn’t enough to let the wearer change directions freely in the air. A jet is more stable!
“The mechanical system is better. It can now work steadily for more than two hours. However, the controls are still a little c.u.mbersome, so they should be improved.”
Wu Mo sat alone in the laboratory, mumbling to himself in a language that no one else could understand. He was in a state of focus.
With his painstaking efforts, the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear’s model had become more refined, and it looked majestic.
The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear was generally in a matte silver color, and only the painted parts were coated with a heat-resistant material, which was dark gray.
The gear was roughly made up of three parts. The main body consisted of tight-fitting armor that provided protection for the wearer and a jet device that helped with turning and flying.
Since the device produced a very powerful force, the main body armor had to be fitted to the wearer’s figure, and the inertia caused by any acceleration had to be distributed to every part of the wearer’s body.
After all, not everyone who wore this gear would be physically strong like Lone Wolf. Wu Mo had already considered this in the early stages of research and development.
Of course, in addition to the armor and propulsion device, the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear also had weapon slots on both sides, which allowed one to carry multiple weapons to deal with different enemies.
However, the most important part of the armor was the adaptive artificial limb.
When the wearer used the gear, the sensors in the armor would monitor the wearer’s current health condition.
If the wearer had disabilities or serious injuries, the adaptive artificial limb within the armor would immediately be activated to replace some of the wearer’s lost abilities.
For example, if the limping Lone Wolf put on a well-designed Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, the sensor in the device would immediately detect his injury.
Once that happened, the armor’s right leg would be filled with memory foam to fix his injured right calf.
At that time, the armor’s right leg would be controlled by the smart system, and it would seamlessly match Lone Wolf’s movements according to the sensors’ data.
Whether the wearers had a hand injury or a foot injury, after they put on the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, they would be able to exert their greatest strength, even greater than when they were at their peak.
After all, the propulsion system could help cultivators wearing the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear to fly and greatly reduce their physical energy consumption.
Whether it was pursuit or reconnaissance, the propulsion device would play a great role.
Moreover, more than two hours of continuous flight was enough to deal with most battles.
Even if the gear’s internal energy was exhausted, it would only take five minutes to refill it with a new energy stone.
Wu Mo knew that if a Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear could be invented, it would undoubtedly be more helpful to cultivators on the front line than the Spirit Wave Sword and Invisibility Armor.
Ultimately, those two pieces of equipment had many limitations, but the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear could allow disabled people to stand up again. It could allow injured cultivators who could not partic.i.p.ate in battle to pick up their weapons again.
Of course, it was a good idea.
However, the prerequisite technology for the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear was too complicated. Even someone like Wu Mo had only developed a rough model so far.
The difficulty of materializing it later would be even greater.
“Sigh…”
Sitting in front of the computer, Wu Mo let out a heavy sigh.
He rubbed his eyes and stretched his back.
Wu Mo subconsciously glanced at the time at the lower right corner of the computer screen, and he could not help but appear surprised.
“It’s already 12?”
He saved the model and downloaded it to his phone. Then, he quickly got up and pushed the laboratory door open.
He could not even see his fingers outside the door, and there was no one in the entire corridor. Only the orange light in his laboratory continued to flicker.
As light shone from the laboratory, it created a fan-shaped halo in front of the door.
It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
“Forget it, I’ll just go back and sleep for today.”
Wu Mo shook his head. He took off the Craftsman’s Gloves and threw them into his Interspatial Ring. After that, he immediately locked the door and left in a hurry.
During those early hours, only the street lights were still shining in the Fifth Research Department.
Since it was already late autumn, the breeze that blew on his face was cold, making Wu Mo subconsciously shrink his neck. He glanced at the yellow leaves on the ground that were blown up by the wind and rushed toward the villa.
Ever since he went to the research building after attending the monthly meeting, he had not been back for more than 10 days.
Resting in the laboratory was not as good as resting in his room. Wu Mo had just done it to save time.
However, now that the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear’s model had been finalized, the anxiety in his heart was no longer as strong as before.
He took out his key and opened the courtyard door. He had not been back for half a month, and the flowers and plants in the courtyard were already showing signs of withering. Even so, Wu Mo could not care about that now.
He returned to his bedroom on the second floor, took a quick shower, and fell asleep.
After sleeping in the laboratory for more than 10 days, Wu Mo finally had a good sleep on the soft bed.
The night pa.s.sed uneventfully, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the next morning.
After Wu Mo went to the cafeteria to have breakfast, he continued to focus on learning about the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear’s technology.
