Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam?

308 Collaboration, Armory No. Professor Tan frowned and continued, “But as far as I know, the Eastern Grand Station District is the only place in White River with peak Rank 6 beasts!”

“There’s something strange about this. Even if Captain Lone Wolf did encounter a peak Rank 6 beast and was no match for it, he should have no problem escaping. How did things end up like this?”

Everyone chimed in, their words filled with anguish.

“Alas, even though the cultivators on the front line are incredibly strong, they can’t avoid the risk of injury or even death. Every year, many cultivators die on missions or from cleaning up the fierce beasts in the war zones. Thanks to their sacrifice, we have peace in the White River province.”

Old Wen lowered his gaze, and the frown lines on his face increased. It was obvious that he was feeling heavy-hearted at the moment.

Wu Mo was touched by everyone’s words.

The White River province was vast and rich in resources. It had two small battlefields and one large station. Many cultivators would rush to the battlefields after a few years of training.

How many people would be able to return to their hometown in glory after losing their heads and spilling their blood?

Everyone respected the cultivators who sustained injuries or lost their lives, but the families of the dead and the injured soldiers only felt pain in their hearts. New chapters are published on (f)ir(e).net

Wu Mo was a little upset at the thought, but at the same time, he made up his mind.

They had to spread the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear. Even if they could not mass produce it, they had to first help a small portion of the cultivators who charged into battle!

He also had to speed up his work.

As he pondered it, Lone Wolf’s well-defined and determined-looking face immediately appeared in his mind.

Lone Wolf was a competitive person and a hard worker, never showing his weak side to others.

Now that he was in such a situation, Meng Chao wondered if he could accept it.

“Hu!”

Wu Mo took a deep breath and planned to discuss the matter with Academician Xu immediately. He had to put the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear on the agenda. If he did not forge it soon, he would not be able to rest easy.

However, just as he was about to stand up and speak, Academician Xu spoke again.

“By the way, there’s something I forgot to tell everyone. The demand for the Invisibility Armor and Spirit Wave Sword has been too high for the past week. Our two workshops can’t meet the production requirements. So, our higher-ups have pulled some strings, and we’ll finally collaborate with Military Armory No. 64.

Academician Xu looked at everyone and continued, “Armory No. 64 is also one of the organizations under the military’s jurisdiction, but their focus is different from the Fifth Research Department’s. The military armory focuses more on the mass production and improvement of equipment, while its research and development area is weaker.

“Therefore, Armory No. 64 has many modern facilities that are rarely seen. This armory provided the equipment that was previously displayed at the exhibition.”

After hearing Academician Xu’s introduction, the people around him nodded.

The military armory’s responsibility was different from theirs. The Research Department was mainly responsible for the research and development of equipment, and there were only two workshops for mass production. They were only expanded because of the two excellent pieces of equipment that Wu Mo had forged. The Research Department was not responsible for the mass production of equipment, in the first place.

In comparison, the military armory was much more professional in the field of mass production.

Many of the senior researchers had visited similar military armories before, and the modern facilities there were simply shocking.

If the Fifth Research Department could collaborate with Military Armory No. 64, future mass production work would definitely not be a problem.

“That’s a good thing. Our Research Department isn’t very good at mass production. Even if we set up a research team at the last minute, it’ll be difficult to speed things up.”

“Yeah, if we work with the military armory, mass production will no longer be a problem.”

A few senior researchers on the side immediately spoke with joy.

Despite receiving help from old Wen and the military leaders, the Research Department’s main job was not to mass produce equipment. Even if they had managed to achieve a balance between supply and demand, it was still too much pressure for the entire Research Department.

Everyone felt that this was indeed good news, but when they turned to look at Academician Xu, they realized that he had a grave expression on his face.

“It’s a good thing to collaborate with the military armory, but they don’t know much about the Invisibility Armor and Spirit Wave Sword’s technology. So, we need to send at least one person who’s familiar with the two items to the military armory for quality control.

“After all, the leaders of the Military Department are watching. If there’s a problem, the Fifth Research Department’s collective honor will be damaged.”

Xu Wuyue raised his head and looked at the people around the conference table.

Several senior researchers with white sideburns lowered their heads with a guilty look.

Seeing this, Wu Mo could not help but feel surprised.

After all, Armory No. 64 had many pieces of equipment that utilized the latest technology. If one could work there, one would definitely gain a lot of new knowledge.

Yet, the elders who attended the monthly meeting looked like students who were afraid of being called out by their teacher. They did not have any confidence.

However, Wu Mo had only been in the Fifth Research Department for a little over half a year, so he had no idea about the situation within Armory No. 64.

Several senior researchers who were at the early-stage of six stars were unwilling to go to the armory because the staff in the armory had deep, decades-long knowledge of forging.

Their theoretical knowledge and even forging skills were extremely strong, and most of them were old folks with rich work experience.

In their eyes, the senior researchers were just scholars in the laboratory who talked a good game on paper.

In addition, those old men had bad tempers. If those who went there did something wrong, they would be labeled as trash.

Even though these old men were calm people, it was still hard for them to accept being called trash in front of everyone. The frustration in their hearts made most of them who had been to Armory No. 64 resist that place from the bottom of their hearts.

“Cough cough… Armory No. 64 has decades of experience in mass production. It would be beneficial for everyone if they could learn from it for a few months. Why wouldn’t anyone want to go?”

Professor Liu, who was sitting on the side, saw that everyone was silent, so he quickly spoke.

However, everyone except Wu Mo knew something about Armory No. 64. They would not change their minds just because of what Professor Liu said.

Just as the scene froze, Wu Mo raised his hand.

The few elders around him were the first to react with surprise.

Wu Mo was a newbie after all. If he had known even a little about the armory, he would not have raised his hand so decisively.

The elders sighed in their hearts. Professor Liu, who had spoken earlier, had a strange expression on his face when he saw this.

‘Oh, no, my words didn’t move this group of old foxes. Instead, they piqued Wu Mo’s curiosity.’

He was speechless, and he simultaneously regretted saying those words.

Although Wu Mo had an academic spirit that was not afraid of hardship, he was still too young. Ultimately, his way of dealing with people was not as smooth as those senior researchers.

If the old men in the armory criticized him, he wondered if Wu Mo would be able to take it.

Professor Liu hesitated. He looked at Xu Wuyue, hoping that Wu Mo would give up on the idea.

However, he did not expect old Wen to speak first.
