Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam?

Chapter 280 Excellent Evaluation

A series of data flashed in front of him, which gave Wu Mo a deeper understanding of the instrument.

At the same time, Gu Hongzhuo, who was standing on the stage, immediately activated the maintenance platform.

The audience watched as the two mechanical arms continuously took out maintenance tools from the platform and removed the damaged parts for repair.

In just a few minutes, the military vehicle that was on the verge of being scrapped experienced a significant improvement.

The dented engine cover was mostly fixed, and all the scrapped parts had been replaced with new ones.

Everyone was shocked by the AI platform's speed at repairing. At the same time, they were also surprised that the platform could store so many parts and tools. It was a treasure chest!

Since there was a time limit for each person to display their work, Gu Hongzhuo immediately returned the maintenance platform to its original state after fixing the military vehicle's engine.

Many people saw the mechanical arms fold and return to their original position before the platform turned into a box the size of a safe again. They were surprised by Gu Hongzhuo's forging skills!

"It's no surprise that Gu Hongzhuo managed to forge such a precise instrument. If this smart repair platform can be mass-produced, the manpower required to repair military vehicles in the future will be greatly reduced!

"The Newcomer King is indeed worthy of his reputation. The forged equipment is not only easy to use but also convenient to carry around. It's recommended for every military vehicle to bring one in the trunk after mass production."

Many soldiers gave him a thumbs-up as their praises rose and fell.

The purpose of the exhibition was to allow the outstanding blacksmiths in White River continent to exchange their experiences on a broader platform. At the same time, it would also help the leaders to identify blacksmiths with potential and strength.

The leaders would nurture them so that they would not gather dust in a corner.

Gu Hongzhuo was clearly a blacksmith with great strength and potential.

Therefore, by the time he finished his demonstration, many leaders and organizations had already memorized his name. They planned to see him after the exhibition was over.

Even if they could not recruit him, they had to make some connections. If he forged more powerful equipment in the future, they could use their relationship with him to get the equipment ahead of others.

On the stage, Gu Hongzhuo bowed to the three master blacksmiths and waited quietly to the side.

The three judges, who were master blacksmiths, looked at each other.

In Elder Song Yi's opinion, although the idea of Gu Hongzhuo's equipment was novel, its use was extremely limited.

If a military vehicle was damaged by the enemy on the battlefield, they would not even have a few minutes to repair it.

If there was a problem with the military vehicle during an exercise, the best strategy was to abandon the vehicle to protect the commander.

The equipment could only be used in a safe environment in the military camp.

However, if it was only used in the military camp, the equipment's portability would not play a role at all.

Therefore, in Elder Song's eyes, this was a piece of equipment that was of little value.

It was true that it could play a big role in some situations, but it would likely just gather dust in the trunk. That was equivalent to the existence of a fire extinguisher.

In comparison, fire extinguishers were cheap to make, and their cost-performance ratio was extremely high.

It would not be easy to mass produce the smart maintenance platform, though.

After half a minute of silence, the three judges already had an answer in their hearts.

"Ahem, the instrument you've made can indeed save manpower and time, but it doesn't have a wide range of uses. There are many restrictions around it, but because of your creativity, I'll give this instrument an excellent score."

Elder Song spoke first. He pointed out the instrument's shortcomings, but he also explained its merits.

Gu Hongzhuo, who was standing on the stage, accepted his comment humbly. Even though he only received an excellent evaluation, he was not dissatisfied at all.

"Hehe, Elder Song is right. However, I have a different opinion."

Just as Gu Hongzhuo was about to leave the stage, Yuan Gang chuckled and spoke.

"The smart maintenance platform has many advantages that ordinary people can't match. Whether it's the holographic image that provides insight of the battle situation at any time, or the smart system's automatic controls, these are all functions that rarely appear in the field of forging.

"To be capable of combining modern technology and forging technology to such an extent, this blacksmith named Gu Hongzhuo is not only capable but also very knowledgeable. Even if the first version of the maintenance platform has many shortcomings, the flaws don't overshadow the advantages, so I'll give it an outstanding evaluation."

As the deputy commander of a military region, Yuan Gang's words were not only clear but also highly convincing.

Although his voice was not loud, it had a strong penetrating power, and it reached everyone's ears without leaving a single beat.

Gu Hongzhuo had been calm on the stage as if it was nothing even when he was demonstrating his equipment. However, he was moved especially after Yuan Gang gave him an excellent evaluation.

"Substandard", "pass", "good", "excellent", and "outstanding" represented the five grades in the exhibition.

In previous years, Lord Yuan Gang had been very strict with his grading. He either did not speak, or if he opened his mouth to evaluate, it would most likely be because the presenter's work was not good enough.

Ultimately, very few equipment and instruments could catch Lord Yuan Gang's eye.

Furthermore, Lord Yuan Gang had given him an outstanding grade, which represented a perfect score.

This showed that not only did Lord Yuan Gang think highly of the equipment, but he also acknowledged Gu Hongzhuo's ability!

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this guy actually received the highest score!"

Below the stage, Bald Eagle widened his eyes in disbelief. He could not believe that Lord Yuan Gang would give Gu Hongzhuo such an evaluation.

Lone Wolf, who was standing at the side, frowned slightly. The highest evaluation in the exhibition was "outstanding."

If that was the case, would Gu Hongzhuo not be on equal footing with Wu Mo?

That was something he could not accept.

With his skills, Wu Mo would definitely be at the top of the pyramid among the younger generation even in the Annual Exchange Conference, so what was a province-level exhibition?

"Sigh, Lord Yuan's evaluation is definitely high." Bald Eagle shook his head and muttered to himself.

The two of them frowned and sighed. Those who did not know better would think that they were the ones on stage.

However, Wu Mo remained calm as he sat in the middle.

"It's fine. Even if that blacksmith receives three outstanding evaluations, I'm confident that I'll be able to surpass him."

Wu Mo patted their shoulders and blinked with a smile.

Bald Eagle was stunned for a moment, but he soon gave Wu Mo a thumbs-up.

"I thought you'd be more modest this time."

"No, there's no harm in being a little confident sometimes." Lone Wolf immediately sat up and retorted.

"Alright, I'm about to go down and prepare. Just wait for some good news, you guys," Wu Mo said before he hurried to the preparation room.

Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf exchanged looks and saw the anticipation in each other's eyes.
