Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam?

Chapter 340 Did The Test Fail? No, Not Yet!

The people on the outside subconsciously covered their ears and narrowed their eyes at the same time, for fear that the defensive array would dissipate and fail to hold the damage from the spirit energy waves.

However, when Elder Huang saw everyone's reaction, he snorted and placed his hands behind his back with a carefree expression.

Meanwhile, Lone Wolf, who was standing in the defense test area, also got to witness the "fireworks show " up close, just like he wanted.

After the device was remotely detonated, it began to emit a faint stream of light, and a few seconds later, it exploded violently without any warning.

The terrifying impact forced Lone Wolf, who was less than five meters away from the center of the explosion, to take a few steps back. The subsequent dazzling purple force field of lightning even plowed through the thick concrete floor.

Countless pieces of gravel flew and dust filled the air, almost blocking out all visibility inside.

The space looked like the ruins of war, but Lone Wolf only gathered a little spirit energy to block the gravel that was flying toward his face. That aside, the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear did all the protection.

"This is awesome! That spirit energy wave had such a high attack power!" Lone Wolf said with a smile on his face as he used his spirit power to smash a rock into dust.

Outside the test area, the rest heard the sound from the foggy interior travel through the bulletproof glass. Several test staff members looked at each other before they immediately turned on the cleaning device to clear the dust in the air and the gravel on the ground.

About half a minute later, the interior of the test area was spotless.

Right then, everyone discovered that the cracked concrete ground with a pit had disappeared, leaving only some stones and debris.

A special steel plate that reflected cold light was exposed underneath, and it surprised everyone.

However, when they looked at Lone Wolf again, the surprise in their hearts immediately turned into astonishment!

They saw Lone Wolf standing alone on the cold steel floor. His hair was blowing loosely in the air and stained with a lot of dust, but the exoskeleton armor he was wearing remained intact.

With that said, some black spots had appeared on the light gray armor's upper abdomen area as if it had been damaged.

"It's certainly powerful. It's no surprise that Mr. Wu's the one who developed the exoskeleton armor. It's still intact even after such a close-range bombardment of spirit waves!"

Looking at the glaring black spots on the armor, Cao Jianzhong, who had wanted to express his love for a long time, instantly praised it.

The surrounding researchers followed suit and started discussing.

"Mr. Wu Mo's attainment in the field of forging is truly admirable. Not only can this exoskeleton armor increase its user's attributes, but it can also provide such strong defense. It's pretty much a unique item!"

"If the military headquarters approves it for mass production in the next few months, the situation in several war zones across the White River province will definitely change. When that happens, the blacksmiths of our province will have some face at the year end exchange conference!"

"Hehe, our heroes are surely among the youngsters."

Wu Mo's expression did not change in the slightest as he listened to the senior blacksmiths' praises. He continued to stare at the defense test area with a solemn gaze, making it difficult to tell whether he was happy or unhappy.

Elder Huang, who was standing at the side, was a little confused too when he saw Wu Mo's expressionless face and slightly furrowed brows.

The current test could clearly be considered a perfect success, so why did he still seem not too happy? But he did appear somewhat different from before!

Soon after, Elder Huang calmed down.

After all, Wu Mo was only a young man in his 20s. At this age, his learning speed was incredible, and he would not accept things easily. Of course, he had his own pride as well.

Perhaps the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear's defense performance only reached Epic-grade standards, which disappointed him a little.

Thinking of this, Elder Huang smiled and shook his head. He looked at the sorry-looking Lone Wolf in the distance and softly said, "Wu Mo, you don't have to pursue perfection too much. You're still young, and you have plenty of time in the future. There's no need to stop because of some imperfections.

"This prototype of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear has already reached an almost perfect level. After the test is over, I'll definitely be transparent with my report the military. You won't receive a single point less as your reward."

As Elder Huang spoke, he patted Wu Mo's shoulder to comfort him.

Although Elder Huang's voice was not loud, the people around him heard him clearly.

When the deputy director, Cao Jianzhong, heard that, he quickly understood that his words of praise had hit the horse's leg. He closed his mouth and did not say anything more.

The researchers were also remorseful and fell silent.

The entire test field returned to its initial calm.

Sensing the change in the mood of the people around him, Wu Mo sniffed and turned to look at Elder Huang.

There was a smile on his face, and his expression seemed to be one of enlightenment.

"Elder Huang, did you think that I was in a bad mood because the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear I developed only has Epic-grade defensive capabilities?" Wu Mo asked.

Elder Huang frowned, not understanding what Wu Mo meant.

However, when he saw the smile and relief on Wu Mo's face, he suddenly realized that he had missed something major in his previous guess of Wu Mo's mood!

At this moment, he recalled that Master Liu, who had repaired some equipment more than 20 days ago, had reported something to him.

Twenty days ago, the forging apparatus in the research facility had shown frequent abnormal signs. It was mainly because Wu Mo had used the forging apparatus for vacuum induction smelting.

Due to the excessive power output and the setting value being too close to the upper limit, the forging tool entered the high-performance mode and produced many abnormalities.

Back then, Elder Huang was not too sure why Wu Mo had proceeded with the vacuum induction smelting. After all, people rarely used that mode.

Only now did he realize that Wu Mo had forged the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear using the vacuum smelting method!

If he could make good use of the vacuum melting method, he could indeed cast lightweight materials with super high data and strong defense.

However, vacuum induction smelting also had a weakness; the surface of materials could easily separate from their core essence. After a long time or after being hit, they would start to peel!

Elder Huang's expression changed when he realized this, and his cloudy eyes soon lit up!

"Could it be that the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear's exoskeleton isn't damaged, but the spirit wave only peeled off its surface layer?!"

Staring at the eye-piercing black spots, Elder Huang suddenly understood everything and cried out!

After hearing his analysis, Wu Mo immediately smiled and gave him a thumbs up. "You're completely correct!

"The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear's armor is actually made of a combination of high-molecular polyethylene and metal. It's black on its own, but the high-temperature reaction turned its surface light gray!" he explained the initial development process as if he was talking about his family fortune, completely clearing the doubts in Elder Huang's heart!
