Chapter 1241: At Daggers Drawn

After talking to Lu Shu, Zhong Yutang returned to the weapon refinery building to observe the situation. After all, since Lu Shu treated his students like animals, Zhong Yutang could not make sure if the students were distressed.

However, he did not know that Lu Shu wanted the distress points. In fact, he began to think about how many distress points would he have obtained after the arrival of the other students from the six other Cultivation Colleges majoring in weapon refinery.

Ouyang Lishang was patrolling in the operations room. Actually, the World Tide was not huge and hence the building project of the seven broken pieces were not difficult. The difficult part was the precision.

Precision was something Ouyang Lishang had always been proud of. That included the stability of hands, eyes and many of the masters of weapon refinery were much worse than Ouyang Lishang.

They could not drink, smoke or have bad practices. Those were the requirements of the master of weapon refinery in the Luniverse as these items could affect one’s hand stability and was heavily prohibited!

For the World Tide, the seven broken pieces must be closely pieced together. Therefore, Ouyang Lishang did not have high hopes for the disciples in refining the World Tide.

However, after bringing up his request, Ouyang Lishang suddenly realized that these disciples, including Zhong Yutang, had never put emphasis on scaffolding. They acted as though that was the easiest step in the refinery of the World Tide...

Then, on the next day, he saw how Zhong Yutang directed a group of people to bring over a huge pile of equipment that he did not recognize. The disciples seemed to be familiar with this equipment but Ouyang Lishang felt awkward to ask them about it.

After assembling the equipment, Zhong Yutang looked at Ouyang Lishang, “Master, how much error do you allow for our casting?”

Ouyang Lishang said, “Nothing more than 0.3 millimeters!”

To be honest, Ouyang Lishang was the most impressed by the old King of God’s ability to standardize the currency and measurements.

One millimeter was 1000 micrometers. Therefore, it meant that the room for error could not exceed 300 micrometers. The seven pieces were combined and secured with marks and the mark would not have any effects outside the 0.3 millimeter limit. Of course, the smaller the error, the more powerful and more secure the World Tide was.

After a long pause, Zhong Yutang said as he looked at Ouyang Lishang, “0.3 millimeter, is this too big?”

Ouyang Lishang was dumbstruck.

This was probably the difference between a machine and a human. Ouyang Lishang and the rest had always been using their eyes for recognition and their hands to make improvements. Therefore, it was already very impressive if they could maintain an error of 0.3 millimeters.

In the past, in the Luniverse, some of the masters liked to drink and could not ensure the precision by themselves. Therefore, they had to recruit talented disciples to do it and created a new career. Yet, it was extremely difficult for the error to be kept within 0.3 millimeters.

Yet now, the equipment that Zhong Yutang was in contact with had at least 0.1 millimeter of error. In the document, whenever the words “fine processing” appeared, error that exceeded 0.3 millimeters meant that the product was a failure.

Ouyang Lishang felt extremely uncomfortable from enduring this. However, he did not want to admit defeat. He suddenly said, “This is the measurements for disciples. I was afraid that they cannot complete it, but it will be good if you guys can make it more precise!”

Then, Ouyang Lishang wanted to look at the reactions of Zhong Yutang and the rest. However, Zhong Yutang suddenly frowned and said to the people beside him, “This is something instructed by the Ninth Heavenly King, all of you must ensure the error is kept within 0.05 millimeters. This is a death order!”

Ouyang Lishang thought, “People on Earth are so arrogant.” However, the people around Zhong Yutang smiled and said, “Rest assured, although we have very little time, we can keep the error down to 0.03 millimeters.”

In fact, ordinary people would think that 0.3 millimeters was an impressive precision. However, Zhong Yutang and the rest were at a position that determined that their standards were different from the ordinary industry.

Ouyang Lishang had stopped talking. He knew that if Zhong Yutang and the rest were being serious, if the equipment were brought to Luniverse, they could cause the loss of an entire industry...

However, to be honest, it was too common for an industry to be lost overnight on Earth. As long as technological revolution continued, such things would always happen.

Everyone had to ensure that they kept improving themselves in this era so that they would not be left behind.

Ouyang Lishang drew the diagram of the World Tide and handed it to Zhong Yutang. Then, after three days, the first model was presented to Ouyang Lishang. It took four days faster than what he had expected.

He had not even finished teaching the students how to carve the mark...

Zhong Yutang anxiously waited for Ouyang Lishang to check the model. Then, Ouyang Lishang realized that the people were not bragging at all, the model was flawless!

For some reasons, Ouyang Lishang felt depressed. In the past, he depended on his skills to emerge victorious amongst the other disciples of his master. However, in the face of machines, his skills were no longer needed.

Ouyang Lishang adjusted his emotions and looked at Zhong Yutang. “It meets the requirements, start working, the King is waiting!”

The World Tide was finally going to be redeveloped.

Zhang Weiyu and the rest had nothing to do and stayed outside the weapon refinery building every day. They wanted to obtain first-hand information when the World Tide was completed.

The World Tide was an extremely powerful magical weapon for ordinary people. Yet to Zhang Weiyu and the rest, it was a form of worship that represented the gift of the old King of Gods.

In the weapon refinery building, it was very warm and everyone was wearing thick protective clothing. The students were sweating profusely and began to regret their worship towards the Ninth Heavenly King...

Zhong Yutang thought that this sense of hatred towards Lu Shu should not continue to accumulate within the students. He had to serve his purpose as the Chief Manager and therefore said to the students of the seven Cultivation Colleges, “Why did the Ninth Heavenly King tire you out? His intention was for you guys to inherit the skills of weapon refinery. The times create heroes, you guys don’t have much time left! Our battle with the Luniverse might happen anytime. Why don’t you guys understand the Ninth Heavenly King’s efforts yet? It was so difficult for him to find the weapons and you guys are blaming him? You should be grateful for people who made great contributions...”

The students in front of Zhong Yutang were so guilty that they started tearing up. One of them wiped their tears and said, “It’s our fault, our level of awareness is too low!”

Lu Shu, who was lying on the sofa and watching television in the apartment of XingShu Road suddenly sat up and gritted his teeth, “Zhong Yutang, we are at daggers drawn!”
