Closed-door study? They were planning to overcome the technical difficulties.
Whether they succeeded or not, they did not suffer any losses. If the other party really came up with something, they could share the results immediately.
Thinking of this, Feng Qi was the first to nod in agreement.
“Alright, no problem, Wu Mo. Feel free to do your research. If there’s anything, just tell me.”
Lai Hua patted his chest and appeared relieved.
A smile appeared on the corner of Chu Qingyan’s mouth. With a gentle voice, he said, “Wu Mo, you don’t have to put too much pressure on yourself. Actually, when we first came to the Research Department, we were also a little lost like you. We’ll be fine after staying for a few days. Don’t think too much. Pay attention to your rest.”
At this moment, Zhang Yuan, who was sitting on the couch on the other side, saw that the three of them were so concerned about Wu Mo. He snorted coldly in his heart.
“Tsk, they are clearly selfish people, yet they insist on pretending to be good people. It’s really disgusting.”
Not long after, the five of them separated from the hall on the seventh floor of the Research Department and walked toward their respective dormitories.
Wu Mo sighed.
He felt that it would be better to go home and read the information if he were to waste his time on this kind of meaningless discussion.
Moreover, although everyone present was quite strong, their personalities were obviously not compatible with each other. If they continued to chat, it would only cause more trouble.
He stood up from the couch, put on his coat, and left.
Unlike the others, he planned to go to the internal reference room before he went back. He would first borrow some materials related to the field of casting, and then start thinking about improving things.
The internal reference room was not far from the Research Department building.
But it was the core area of the entire Research Department.
In the entire core area, every person who entered or exited needed to enter the detailed registration and sign. The confidentiality agreement was very troublesome. Unless one really needed certain books, otherwise, even if one had the authority, they would not come once a month.
Not long after, Wu Mo arrived at the Central Command Center of the entire Research Department.
The command center only had a total of three floors, and its area was less than 10% of the entire Research Department.
However, it controlled the deployment area of the entire Research Department.
The communication with the higher-ups, the distribution of missions above Grade B, and the provision of military supplies were all included in this small area.
Even the main entrance was set up with hidden sentries to ensure the normal operation of the entire building and not allow any of the secrets here to be leaked.
Moreover, in the deployment area, there were also three academicians in charge of the research and development of key technologies and equipment. Two of the three academicians of the entire fifth academy were working in this area.
Wu Mo came to the front door. He was first scanned by the instrument before he successfully walked into the deployment building through facial recognition.
The internal reference room was on the right side of the headquarters building. As he walked into the internal reference room, he saw several master blacksmiths with six auspicious clouds drawn on their chests.
Especially when he met the sharp gazes of those veteran researchers, the pressure he felt was even stronger.
Even though his strength had already reached the level of a five-star blacksmith, compared to those researchers who were over 50 years old, there was still a huge gap.
When he arrived at the entrance of the internal reference room, the staff found out that Wu Mo indeed had the authority to borrow books from the internal reference room before carefully opening the safety door.
The thick stainless steel door was pushed by the mechanism, making a rumbling sound.
Wu Mo walked in with a slightly perturbed and excited mood, and then the safety door was closed.
The entire internal reference room was about 300 square meters and was divided into two areas.
They were the book category and the casting exhibition category.
The books contained the notes and important books of the casting masters.
The knowledge and content inside were many things that the forging masters could never come into contact with in their lifetime.
As for the product category, it was an outstanding work that had never appeared on the official website. It was usually the outstanding works of the past generations that had been distributed in large quantities by the official army.
The entire internal reference room was very quiet. There was a resting area of about ten square meters in the lower right corner of each area.
The walls of the internal reference room were all gray. The rows of bookshelves were separated by a reasonable distance. Just the layout alone made people feel comfortable.
Looking at the rows of books on the bookshelves, Wu Mo was like a glutton waiting to enjoy a good meal.
The knowledge books were stored in different categories, and the author would be marked under each notebook.
Looking at the notes of the famous people who had reported on the news countless times, Wu Mo felt that his breathing was a little fast.
He took out a master’s notebook that was as well-known as thunder and carefully flipped to the first page.
Although the words on it were a little messy, the content was enough to soothe his heart.
Wu Mo was completely immersed in the content as he looked at the lines.
He wandered in the sea of books, using the tip of the brush as a boat and the truth as a paddle. He did not notice the passage of time at all.
Just like that, he stood in the distance and watched for nearly an hour.
During this period of time, he did not even dare to blink his eyes, and his legs did not move at all as if they had taken root.
It was not until a wave of soreness and numbness came from his legs and pulled him out of the state of comprehension that Wu Mo came to the resting area and sat down.
In the art of casting, the Great Dao was the simplest. If one relied on a piece of technique in one’s mind, it would be difficult to break through the realm.
If one could master the technique and use no technique to respond to it, one would be able to break through on the day of flowing clouds and flowing water.
Lines of words that were difficult to understand and pieces of practical and theoretical knowledge were placed in Wu Mo’s mind. Those words of wisdom were like thunder in the clear sky, shattering Wu Mo’s short and shallow knowledge of forging, then, he would reshape it into something broader.
Time flew by and in the blink of an eye, three hours had passed.
At this moment, an old man with gray hair walked out from the exhibition area of the internal reference room. The old man was full of energy, but he looked a little tired.
The old man left the exhibit area. Just as he was about to leave, he saw Wu Mo sitting in the resting area, staring intently at a notebook.
He subconsciously glanced at the book cover and realized that the other party was actually looking at Master Gao Ming’s notebook. Immediately, he was a little surprised.
Oh? There was actually someone who could read Gao Ming’s notebook. What an interesting little fellow.
A gratified smile appeared on the old man’s face. After memorizing the young man’s appearance, he turned around and left.
After the old man left, Wu Mo was the only one left in the entire inner room.
He was almost engrossed in reading until his neck was sore. He blinked his eyes and withdrew from the state of absorbing knowledge.
“Ah… my neck is a little sore. Could it be that I’ve been here for a day?”
Wu Mo stood up with some difficulty. All the joints in his body had been in the same position for a long time. When he stood up, it immediately caused a series of crackling sounds.
Rubbing his slightly sore eyes, Wu Mo took out his phone and looked at the time.
D*mn it! It’s 10.00 pm!
Looking at the number on it, Wu Mo’s eyes immediately widened.
