Chapter 305 - 305 Precious Materials
305 Precious Materials
Wu Mo took this opportunity to sit on the couch and rest.
He had been busy with work for the past three days, and the time he spent in the Divine-grade Forging Space was equivalent to more than 10 hours in the real world.
Now that everything was ready, he only needed a factory with cutting-edge technology to forge the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.
In fact, he was not as calm as he looked on the surface.
After all, he was only in his 20s, and he was feeling a little emotional about receiving such an award.
It had been more than half a year since he left the Divine Arms Academy and went to the Fifth Research Department.
Everything felt like passing clouds and smoke, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Sometimes, he could not help but wonder, what kind of experience and achievements would he have gained if he had not accepted the letter of appointment from Instructor Zhou Jinlong after he graduated?
While he was lost in his thoughts, he heard two sets of footsteps outside.
He looked up and saw that Academician Xu and Professor Tan had returned.
“Academician Xu, Professor Tan, do you have any instructions for me?”
Seeing the serious expressions on both of their faces, Wu Mo immediately stood up and spoke calmly.
“Hehe, there’s nothing much. I just wanted to tell you that from now on, your position in the Fifth Research Department will be changed to ‘senior researcher.’ You can enjoy more benefits and better treatment in the department,” Academician Xu said with a smile.
Professor Tan was smiling too.
Wu Mo had not only restored the Fifth Research Department’s reputation to its peak, but he had also suppressed the momentum of other research institutes.
Now, the military leaders were in contact with them much more frequently, and there were endless orders for mass production. This not only made the Fifth Research Department more economically prosperous, but it also made them one of the core suppliers in the war zone.
The two of them were naturally beyond satisfied with Wu Mo.
“Thank you, Academician Xu and Professor Tan, for your trust and cultivation. I’ll definitely bring the Fifth Research Department to a higher level at the upcoming Annual Exchange Conference.”
Wu Mo was overjoyed. He did not expect to become a senior researcher in less than a year after joining the Fifth Research Department.
In the entire Fifth Research Department, there were less than 50 senior researchers.
To reach such a level within a year of joining was even more unprecedented.
Thinking of this, Wu Mo’s heart was full of energy. He had an even stronger desire to improve his strength!
After Wu Mo asked Academician Xu about the progress of production in the two workshops and the Invisibility Armor’s new improvement, he received a satisfactory answer.
“The production speed for your improved Invisibility Armor is more than two times faster than before, and the cost of related materials has reduced by a lot. Even old Wen has confidence in your techniques. Wu Mo, it looks like you’re about to break through to six stars!” Xu Wuyue said with a delight in his eyes.
He could sense that the spirit energy in Wu Mo’s body had become increasingly vigorous. It was only a matter of time before he broke through to the six-star rank.
“Academician Xu, you flatter me. I have such achievements mostly because I learned everything the sages had to offer in the internal reference room. I’m just an ordinary person standing on the shoulders of giants. If it weren’t for their cultivation, I wouldn’t have my skills today.”
“Hehe, the internal reference room is open to researchers 24 hours a day, but those who can truly understand the depth of the material are always in the minority. Diligence is the first word on the path of forging. Wu Mo, you don’t have to be so modest.”
Professor Tan’s words made Wu Mo feel a little helpless.
“Okay, let’s not dwell on this. I know you’ve been busy researching the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, so we won’t bother you,” Xu Wuyue quickly said before he left with Professor Tan.
After watching the two figures disappear into the elevator, Wu Mo heaved a sigh of relief and quickly returned to the laboratory.
The familiar laboratory was so quiet that Wu Mo could even hear his rapid breathing.
With a thought, the Interspatial Ring on his finger immediately emitted a white light. The next moment, several items appeared on the computer desk in front of him.
They were the rare materials that the officer at the award ceremony had presented to him. There were also two notebooks with slightly yellow covers.
Many pages in the books had already rolled up. It was obvious that this item had already existed long ago, and it had seen constant use.
Wu Mo glanced at the materials.
Even though his knowledge had increased, he still did not recognize two of the rare materials.
‘System, please explain the use of these materials,’ he muttered in his heart, and the system’s ethereal voice immediately rang out in his mind.
[The inquiry of the materials’ uses has been completed. Twenty points have been consumed. The information of the various materials is as follows:
[1. Lava Core, Epic-grade material. It can be forged into a gem and embedded on weapons or armor to obtain additional functions.
[2. Adamantine Stone, Epic-grade material. Can be used as the main body of a rough cast to forge weapons. It can increase the sharpness of a weapon and provide additional functions.
[3. Frost Sparrow Plume, tail feather of an intermediate Rank 6 Frost Sparrow, Rare-grade. Can be cast into cloth-type equipment with ice-cold effects.]
[4. Carbon sulfur, Rare-grade material, synthetic. Can greatly increase the hardness of armor, with a small chance of obtaining an additional effect. ]
Looking at the various descriptions that appeared on the interface, Wu Mo finally understood.
He did not expect the materials awarded by the military to be so valuable. They were much more valuable than most of the materials he had seen before.
Most of the materials used to cast equipment were ordinary items that were contaminated with spirit energy. Only a small portion of them could be upgraded to a higher grade because they absorbed spirit energy all year round.
However, rare materials were extremely uncommon in the natural world. Most of them could be used for forging Epic equipment or weapons.
Nevertheless, many parts of the ferocious beasts’ bodies could also be used as materials.
What surprised Wu Mo the most was that one of them was artificially synthesized.
In the 100 years after the spirit energy awakening, technology and forging had developed. At the same time, materials could be manufactured through modern instruments, but the speed of these manufacturing instruments was very slow, so there were even fewer materials that could be circulated in the market.
Even Wu Mo had never seen such a thing before.
However, he was now fully focused on the development of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, and he had no time to study it in depth. He turned to put it back into his Interspatial Ring.
Those few materials had different functions, so they probably would not be of any use in the short term.
After putting away the materials, Wu Mo set his eyes on two log books.
These two log books looked similar to the ones he had seen in the internal reference room. They both looked like they had been through a lot.
He was a person who had read dozens of six-star master blacksmith’s personal notes, so he naturally understood the value of these two personal notes.
In order to learn and comprehend the knowledge and feelings in the logbook as soon as possible, Wu Mo did not hesitate and immediately activated the immersion effect on the Craftsman’s Gloves.
