Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam? - Chapter 334
334 Astonishing Amplification Effect
“Phew…”
Elder Huang’s heart gradually calmed down as he took a deep breath. However, his turbid eyes still carried a trace of disbelief.
At this time, the test field was so quiet that they could hear a pin drop. Only the sound of heavy breathing and the buzzing of the instrument’s current echoed.
A few seconds later, the strength-measuring instrument seemed to slow down. The memory pressure plate also started to return to its original shape.
!!
However, the staff felt that the recovery process appeared to be several times slower than it had been in previous tests.
[Strength test completed. Analyzing the results…
[Analysis complete. The strength of the tester’s punch is 9.7 tons.
[Compared to the previous test results, the equipment increased the user’s force by 6.8 tons.]
The snowy screen immediately displayed the results of the test as the pressure board returned to its original state.
After seeing that the instrument had returned to normal, the staff members heaved a sigh of relief. However, before they could completely relax, their attention was attracted by the numbers displayed on the screen, just like the onlookers just beyond the test field.
“The device increased his strength by 6.8 tons. Is this really something that can be achieved in our forging era?!” Cao Jianzhong, the armory’s deputy director, exclaimed.
The senior R&D staff in the armory looked like they had seen a ghost.
They had initially thought that mobility was the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear’s biggest selling point. After all, the fact that it could carry people and fly was ridiculous enough. No one expected this device, which was similar to a mech from the future, to actually increase the wearer’s strength even more.
How could they explain an increase of almost seven tons of strength?
It was a domain that only cultivators who had reached the seven-star rank could touch!
Even Lone Wolf, who was at the peak of six stars and had undergone secret training, only possessed a punching strength of 2.9 tons. He had not gone past the three-ton threshold.
However, the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear closed this seemingly impossible gap. It was not appropriate enough to describe such a power increase as terrifying!
Everyone exchanged looks and gazed at Wu Mo with even more respect as well as a hint of fanaticism.
“Very good. Since the strength increase test is done, let’s continue testing its agility, reaction, and so on,” Elder Huang, who was at the center of the crowd, immediately ordered after a moment of silence.
Hearing that, the tester, who was still in a daze, immediately nodded and agreed. She gestured for Lone Wolf to proceed before she ran to the agility test area.
Seeing the fear on the staff’s face, Lone Wolf chuckled.
He was extremely satisfied with the effect of his previous punch. According to his estimation, the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear had increased his strength by about five times.
This was much easier than him deliberately training his muscles to improve his strength.
He had served in the military for so many years and gone through numerous tough training sessions where he almost gave up. In the end, he had only gained less than three tons of punching power and decent physical fitness.
Compared to the increase brought by the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, it was not worth mentioning at all.
Thinking of this, Lone Wolf could not help but shake his head. He quickly suppressed the thought of feeling unworthy in the past.
With light steps, he arrived at the agility testing area.
The huge armor on his body was akin to a light cloak, and it did not hinder him at all.
The agility test was different from the strength test. It was divided into a speed test and a reaction test.
Speed, as its name suggested, was a person’s maximum running speed within 100 meters, while agility and reaction could be tested by avoiding obstacles to obtain accurate values.
At this moment, Lone Wolf was standing in front of the specially-made 100-meter track in the gray armor.
Sensors were installed at the starting and ending points of the runway, and there were tracks, as well as high-speed cameras, on the side to ensure that the test values were accurate to 0.01 milliseconds.
Seeing that the speed test was about to begin, Cao Jianzhong, who was standing in the test field’s periphery, immediately spoke with a serious expression.
“Record the following process clearly so that our military leaders can see how the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear amplify the wearer’s attributes more realistically!!”
“Yes, Sir!”
His subordinate, who was holding a recording device, promptly responded.
The researchers around them dared not even breathe loudly, for fear of affecting the test and the recording.
They knew that what was happening before them would cause a huge uproar in the near future. When the time came, a high-ranking military leader might make a trip to the armory.
As witnesses, they could get interviewed or make public appearances, pretty much rubbing off Wu Mo’s light.
Once they realized this, the senior researchers had a happy expression on their faces.
However, Wu Mo, the one who started it all, was frowning slightly at this moment.
To others, a strength increase of nearly seven tons was already considered incredible. However, it was within Wu Mo’s expectations, and he was even a little disappointed.
The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear could help increase so much of the user’s power because it could subtly correct the user’s attack trajectory.
To achieve the greatest destruction, the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear also had a propeller that could provide explosive power. In an ideal state, producing a punch with seven tons of force was no problem.
However, behind the super-high strength increase was also energy consumption.
In its highest performance mode, it could only produce such an attack up to five times. Subsequent attacks would inevitably enter the semi-dormant mode due to insufficient energy until the supply device within the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear was fully charged.
Earlier on when he was planning the design, Wu Mo had already made plans to prioritize high attack power over endurance.
Therefore, the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear could produce such a strong attribute increase.
However, the increase in strength did not reach the standard of Wu Mo’s vision.
It made him feel that something was wrong.
Although it was only a power gap of 0.1 tons, it was a sign that there were some internal problems with the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.
Thinking of this, Wu Mo made up his mind. He could not end his research and development of the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear yet. He still had to repair and improve its energy transmission.
Just as he settled on this matter, Lone Wolf, who was standing on the special track, bent down into the standard starting position.
Wu Mo’s eyes flickered, and he carefully observed the speed test that was about to begin.
Elder Huang, who was standing at the side, also squinted and focused on it.
The test field was silent. All of a sudden, they heard the pop of a gunshot.
