271 A Great Achievement
His eyes were filled with excitement. He finally understood who the big shot standing in front of him was!
It was Song Yi, President of the White River province’s Blacksmith Guild, a major general!
Although his rank was the same as the director of the Hunter Bureau, Song Yi had more power!
Elder Song could be considered the most famous blacksmith in the White River province, and one could even rank him in the top 10 throughout the entire Nine Provinces!
Wu Mo was so excited because Elder Song’s research had broken through the technological barrier in foreign countries and shocked the entire world!
It was a kind of interface that had a higher efficiency of absorbing energy from materials. The original energy interface in Nine Provinces could only absorb about 20% of energy to power an equipment.
Due to the advanced technology in foreign countries, their instruments were more sophisticated.
They were the first to obtain 35%, and this technology was later completely sealed off and banned from being exported to other countries.
Furthermore, the interface was prohibited from being sold, and even equipment that used the energy interface could not pass through customs. If one wanted to buy or sell such equipment, the seller would have to check the buyer’s information thoroughly.
This was to prevent other countries from analyzing their technology and posing a threat to them.
Even though they had signed an agreement 100 years ago that they would never engage in any physical combat, they remained on guard.
Anyway, economic and cultural wars were still ongoing.
If other countries were allowed to master such high-tech, it would inevitably affect their lives when it was developed later.
Therefore, the Nine Provinces and other relatively backward countries were blocked in terms of science and technology for several years.
The utilization rate of energy was extremely important for the development of science, technology and the field of forging. In just a few years, the Nine Provinces was left behind by many powerful powers.
Later, the military leaders realized that such technology required homework, so they arranged for many blacksmiths to work on the problem.
It was just that back then, there was no advanced equipment, so it was impossible to develop a new energy interface with their current skills.
Just as everyone was about to despair, the team led by Elder Song came with good news. The economic blockade that had contained the Nine Provinces for several years had been completely broken!
The newly developed energy interface not only achieved a 35% energy utilization rate, but it was also smaller in size, which increased the possibility of forging.
As soon as this technology appeared, it immediately caused a sensation all over the world.
The country with the latest interface was even more shocked. One should know that the Nine Provinces was limited in terms of scientific and technological strength or forging technology. It could not be compared with the international powers.
To be able to develop a new energy interface in such a backward environment was a miracle!
Therefore, when Wu Mo realized that the Elder Song standing before him was the famous Song Yi of the Nine Provinces, he was so excited that he could not describe it.
His entire being was filled with deep veneration and respect for Elder Song from the bottom of his heart.
Elder Song not only solved the Nine Provinces’ problem, but he also obtained supreme glory for the region, refreshing the foreigners’ impression of the Nine Provinces’ scientific researchers, who were unparalleled.
Hello, President Song. My name is Wu Mo, and I’m an in-service graduate student in the Fifth Research Department,” Wu Mo said excitedly.
He immediately straightened his back to salute Elder Song.
“Oh, what an interesting little fellow.”
Looking at the young man’s respectful expression, Song Yi nodded and raised his eyebrows slightly.
He and Xu Wuyue had known each other for more than 10 years. This was his first time seeing Xu Wuyue personally introduce a young man from the Research Department.
Although it was good that Wu Mo had reached the five-star rank at the age of 20, it was not that great.
Before reaching the five-star rank, one only needed to read more books and practice more. It was not too difficult.
However, after the five-star rank, there was a dividing line. Many people were either not talented enough or not hardworking enough. Some might not even be able to reach the six-star rank in their entire lives.
As such, Song Yi felt that it was not difficult to reach the five-star rank before the age of 25. If one could reach the six-star rank before the age of 30, they would be considered truly outstanding.
However, he had be more outstanding than he appeared for Xu Wuyue to personally introduce him.
“The Fifth Research Department is indeed full of individuals with hidden talents. There’s actually such a young five-star blacksmith. Not bad, he’s a good boy with manners. He’s better than the students you’ve brought here before.”
Elder Song nodded in praise, but he did not pay much attention to the young man. At his level, he had much higher expectations. Not to mention, he was the president of the White River province’s Blacksmith Guild, and he had seen countless young geniuses.
Hearing Elder Song’s praise, Wu Mo immediately thanked him.
Xu Wuyue also laughed and chatted with Elder Song about the recent events in the Fifth Research Department.
“Wuyue, I heard that there’s been plenty of movement in your Research Department recently. It seems that your cooperation with the major consortiums has become closer. Is this true?”
Seeing that the atmosphere had become familiar, Song Yi changed the subject and immediately asked about what he wanted to know this time.
Xu Wuyue began to smile with even more pride.
“I can’t hide anything from you, Elder Song. Something like that has indeed happened in our Research Department recently.”
Seeing Elder Song’s look of anticipation, Xu Wuyue immediately told him about the mass production.
“Right now, the production of the Invisibility Armor is steadily progressing. The first batch of equipment has already been urgently forged and distributed to the cultivators on the front lines. The factory for the Spirit Wave Sword is still under construction, and it will definitely start operating within a month.”
As the president of the White River province’s Blacksmith Guild, Elder Song was naturally well-informed. Even if Xu Wuyue did not say anything, Elder Song would understand the impact of these events. Thus, Xu Wuyue did not hide anything when he introduced everything.
“…You’re doing very well. With you managing the Research Department, everything is going well. I look forward to the large-scale production of these two pieces of equipment. Let’s see what effect they’ll have on the war zone and major cities.”
Xu Wuyue and Professor Tan were overjoyed by Elder Song’s compliments, and they responded humbly.
“It’s getting late, so I’ll take my leave first. I’ll be watching the Research Department’s performance later.”
Looking around and seeing that all the people in charge and officials had arrived, Elder Song cleared his throat and turned to leave.
Xu Wuyue smiled as he watched Elder Song leave. His expression was normal, but there was a hint of pride in the depths of his eyes.
When he introduced Wu Mo to Elder Song earlier, he had deliberately avoided explaining that Wu Mo was the research student who had designed the Invisibility Armor and the Spirit Wave Sword.
The reason was, he knew that Elder Song and many other older leaders were eager to have someone to inherit their legacy.
Ordinary or slightly outstanding individuals would not arouse their interest.
They would only extend an olive branch and recruit geniuses or extremely outstanding young people.
