Chapter 219: Participating in the Test
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The attributes of the Spirit Wave Sword displayed on the system’s interface were not beyond Wu Mo’s expectations.
However, he was still satisfied with the results.
The Spirit Wave Sword had a total of three attack methods, and the most powerful one was no different from an actual heat wave.
Heat Wave could release a high temperature of over ten thousand degrees. As long as it came into contact with a living creature, it would be difficult for the creature to survive.
Even with the best equipment, it was impossible to isolate such a high temperature.
However, although Heat Wave was powerful, it could only last for a short time of 10 seconds.
Moreover, after using it, the firing tube on the hilt would definitely need a long cooling time due to the high temperature.
It could only be used at a critical moment.
The second effect, Dimer Slash, was a result of the oscillation device.
It could produce extremely fine rays that could easily pass through the molecules of objects, which was why it could ignore the defense effects of all equipment.
Although the laser’s destructive power was not as great as the first, it was still much better than that of cold weapons.
It was also very effective against heavy enemies.
Even if the opponent wore the strongest armor and held a heavy shield, the Spirit Wave Sword could easily break through his defense.
As for Pulse, its effect was even worse. However, it was in a constant normal state and had no cooldown. This made up for the Spirit Wave Sword’s vacuum period.
Whenever the light pulse came into contact with a physical body, it would produce a burning effect. Although it would not kill the enemy in one blow, high-frequency pulses could cause various kinds of additional damage to the enemy, such as cornea damage, heart rate acceleration, irritability, anxiety, and other situations.
Overall, Wu Mo was extremely satisfied.
In terms of power, it was only of Epic grade, but the instant damage it could cause was stronger than that of most Legendary equipment.
In terms of portability, this thing was only 580 grams, and it was about 30 centimeters long without being activated. For double insurance, it could also be kept in one’s backpack.
As for its flaws, there were also quite a few of them. The effects of the high-power attacks could not last for too long, and the energy consumption was too great. The High-frequency Stone would already need to be replaced in three months, or else, the weapon’s power would be greatly reduced.
Apart from that, the Spirit Wave Sword did not have any other flaws.
“Although it hasn’t reached the level that I want it to, it’s not bad.”
Wu Mo nodded and immediately kept his things.
He had spent 30 days putting the system’s idea into action, and that was considered fast.
No one knew how much effort he had put in and how lonely he had been.
He got up and went downstairs, taking advantage of the fact that it was still early to continue bathing in the sun.
After completing the project with great difficulty, the tension in his mind finally eased a little.
The warm sunlight shone down, filling him with a sense of laziness.
Wu Mo looked at the blue sky and thin clouds before he gradually closed his eyes. He did not think about anything and only immersed himself in the current feeling of leisure.
…
On the other side, in one of the fifth Research Department’s buildings…
More than a dozen project executives sat across from each other at a long table in a spacious meeting room.
They were discussing the cold weapon commission.
Academician Xu was sitting at the head of the table, and Professor Liu, as well as another professor, were sitting on either side of him.
The group of people sitting on both sides of the long table consisted of researchers who had already accepted the cold weapon forging project.
Most of the researchers were only around 30 years old, and some of them were 40 years old.
“Academician Xu, tomorrow is the deadline for the project. Why hasn’t that graduate student named Wu Mo submitted his forging product yet? How about we stop waiting for him and start the final test?”
A young man in a light blue denim jacket could not wait and immediately raised the question when he saw that the leader had no intention of speaking.
To the others, his words hit the nail on the head. Now that he was the first one to speak, the others around him all chimed in.
“Yeah, there’s not enough time. Most have already finished their designs half a month ago. Even those who were a little late would have finished the final polishing a week ago.”
“Just because of this Wu Mo, we’ve wasted so much of everyone’s time.”
Faced with the dissatisfaction of the researchers in the conference room, Academician Xu could not make a decision.
He had called Wu Mo several times in the past month, and every time he asked, Wu Mo would say that he was still working on it. However, it had been nearly a month since he had accepted the task.
What kind of dagger was it? It was still not ready after so long?
Was this project that difficult for Wu Mo?
‘Sigh, Wu Mo, don’t mess things up. The higher-ups have specifically instructed you to take action on this project. This is a great opportunity. If you screw it up, there will be consequences.’
He hesitated.
Xu Wuyue felt a little anxious when he thought about the leaders of the major institutions coming to the fifth Research Department to check on the project’s progress in half an hour.
To him, Wu Mo was good in every way, but he did not have a sense of time. He was always the last one to finish.
He could only hope that Wu Mo would report back on time like before.
Xu Wuyue sighed at the thought.
He raised his head and said to the crowd, “Everyone, please calm down. There’s still some time before the test. Let’s wait patiently.”
Xu Wuyue’s voice was calm and steady, but the other researchers were a little upset.
They were all researchers, so why did they have to wait for a graduate student who had just joined the department?
The boy was putting on too much of a show.
“Hehe, don’t worry, Academician Xu. We’re not in a hurry. Wu Mo is very capable, and there won’t be any problems,” a feminine-looking young man in a gray coat said with a smile in the crowd.
“Maybe he’s so late because he’s giving everyone another surprise like the Invisibility Armor. Let’s wait and see.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at the crowd. Although he had a smile on his face, it gave people an uncomfortable feeling.
“Yes. Everyone, believe in Wu Mo. Let’s just continue waiting.”
Academician Xu nodded and spoke calmly.
The crowd exchanged looks, not knowing what to do.
Did they not say that the leaders of the various large organizations would be coming over soon? Why did Academician Xu seem like he was fine?
If he neglected the leaders, would he not be punished?
No one could understand what Academician Xu was thinking.
The entire meeting room fell silent.
Just as the researchers were about to fall asleep, the ringtone from a mobile phone broke the silence.
The others immediately perked up and looked around.
Then, they looked at Academician Xu, who was on the phone.
Everyone was stunned. Who would call the old man at this time?
Had the leaders of the major organizations arrived?
Right then, Xu Wuyue realized that it was Wu Mo who had called him. The anxiety on his face immediately disappeared, and it was seamlessly replaced with joy.
