Chapter 123: The Forging Process!

This forging paper was from the Research Department’s warehouse, and it was better than any of the previous ones he had used.

Not only was the paper thick, but it also emitted constantly light, illuminating the tiniest parts of the ink. It was very suitable for drawing Premium-grade equipment.

Since Wu Mo already understood the blueprint of the Invisibility Armor, he knew the position and sequence of the strokes.

Therefore, there was no pause or hesitation in his strokes. Just like a calligrapher, the inking had a style that belonged to him.

If someone was present at that moment, they would definitely be surprised by the way he drew the blueprint.

!!

He was creating such smooth strokes on top of absorbing experience from the blueprint. There was also immeasurable experience from his countless times of backtracking.

He was already familiar with most of the writing methods and did not need to think too much about them.

About five minutes later…

The design of the Invisibility Armor appeared on the 1.2 m by 0.8 m forging paper.

Everything, including the energy veins and the shape of the outer frame, was clear.

The ink was rendered on the paper, and it slowly dried.

Wu Mo put down the forging pen and turned around to the upgraded furnace’s side.

Although the surface of the furnace was a dull copper color, its interior was brand new and bright. It was suitable for high-temperature smelting, and its efficiency was much higher than that of an ordinary furnace.

Wu Mo threw most of the stone and iron materials into the furnace first. Then, he immediately used his mental power to control the furnace’s opening.

Boom!

Suddenly, a burst of flame shot out and instantly swallowed the material at the center.

The grayish-brown meteorite spirit stone sizzled under the high temperature. White smoke rose as if it was resisting the corrosion of the flame.

However, Wu Mo had already upgraded the furnace. The current furnace could reach a high temperature of 3,100 degrees, which could melt most materials.

Of course, Meteorite Spirit Stones were no exception.

After a while, as the flame’s temperature gradually increased, the Meteorite Spirit Stone slowly melted like a piece of sugar. The liquid containing most of the energy was filtered into the liquid-containing device below to further remove impurities.

Under the continuous high-temperature burning, the ten materials were all melted one by one and refined into energy.

At this moment, the only thing missing was the last little flame to nourish and stabilize the energy within so that it would not be rejected.

Wu Mo began to adjust the parameters of the mold to ensure that the armor’s frame could be successfully poured out in one go.

The melted materials would be mixed with the new materials later and poured into the mold together.

He would try to succeed in one go.

Soon, Wu Mo finished configuring the mold. He put on heat-insulating gloves and took out the crucible that contained the liquid materials.

The temperature of the liquid in the crucible was still too high, so it needed to be cooled.

During this free time, Wu Mo took out a large piece of woven fabric and started to cut it. He was waiting for the final armor frame to be completed before nesting it, so he was more than halfway done.

Wu Mo had bought the fabric in the points store according to the requirements on the blueprint.

Currently, there were no products in the warehouse that completely met his requirements.

That was because Wu Mo needed breathable material. It had to be light, be able to absorb a lot of sweat, and also be anti-fouling.

Currently, only the Teflon-coated composite fabric by the system could achieve such an effect.

However, the price was also heartbreaking. One square meter cost 500 points, and making armor often required more than 51 square meters.

The price of the fabric alone was about 30,000 points, excluding the protective structure inside, as well as the multi-purpose combat effect.

Even if multiple pieces could be forged at the same time, which could reduce the cost, the price of one piece was still incredibly high.

However, these were not things that he should be thinking about.

After all, just the development of the combat module in the early days had cost the Research Department a lot of money.

Very soon, Wu Mo was almost done cutting the composite cloth. He would have to wait for the forging of the mold to finish the stitching.

At this point, the temperature of the ten liquid materials on the workbench had already dropped a lot.

Wu Mo picked up the crucible and poured the melted special steel, stabilizing materials, and various mineral liquids into it.

Then, he covered the mold to let the liquid inside cool down and set the shape.

The process seemed to be much slower.

Fortunately, the time flow in the forging space was 100 times slower than outside, so it was not a waste of time.

Wu Mo did not dally. He prepared to draw a magic array and polish the gemstones that needed to be inlaid.

After all, this armor of his had abandoned the multi-functional modules provided by the Research Department and was much lighter than the others.

To achieve the multi-functional combat effect, he could only use magic arrays and ore inlays.

About half an hour later, the mold machine made a dripping sound.

In the quiet forging space where a pin drop could be heard, it provided a hint of life.

Wu Mo lifted the lid and found a still warm armor frame lying quietly in the mold.

The armor was like the skeleton of a human body. It provided all kinds of protection so that energy could be transferred to every part.

The armor was still a little red, but it was generally dark gray in color.

Wu Mo placed it on the workbench and began to fix the composite fabric on the frame.

Wu Mo had only done this process on the Mercury Cloak before, so he was a little unfamiliar with it. After roughly ten minutes, the composite fabric completely fused with the frame, and the prototype of the armor took shape.

However, it looked more like a bulletproof vest on the surface.

His next task was clear. It was to draw a magic array on the dark green clothes to give it additional effects.

After all, it was Epic-grade armor. It had to have at least three equipment effects, or else it would not have passed the test.

Wu Mo planned to draw a Tier 2 magic array, the Valiant Array.

It would be used to increase the wearer’s combat strength.

In the past, he might not have been able to draw it, but in the past month, he had read many masters’ notes and books.

He had already comprehended most of the knowledge.

As for why he was unable to draw a Tier 3 array, it was because his current spirit power did not allow it.

He threw the materials needed to draw the array into the furnace to temper it.

After a while, a red fluid came out of the lid, mixed with some yellow powder.

Once he dipped the forging pen in it, Wu Mo started drawing.

When he made the framework earlier, he did not make any mistakes because of his experience and the blueprint’s directions.

Now, on the other hand, he did not have the slightest experience with this array. He could only rely on his current knowledge to draw.

The formation was about 70% completed when he made a mistake, directly blowing a hole in the composite weave.

‘Backtrack,’ Wu Mo muttered helplessly in his heart.

A white light flashed in front of his eyes, and the fabric on the armor’s surface was restored to its original state.

He pushed down the messy thoughts in his mind and continued to draw.

This time, he cast away the distracting thoughts in his mind and drew without any scruples.

At the end of his drawing, a small problem occurred. The drawing deviated by half an inch, causing the energy to become unstable and the array to directly burn.

Despite that, Wu Mo’s face lit up as if he had completely understood it.
