Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam? - Chapter 342

342 An Emergency

Not far away, the tester who was adjusting the test instrument seemed to notice the tension in everyone’s hearts, so he immediately explained, “Don’t worry. Although the bomb is powerful, as long as you spray some agents that can neutralize its reaction, the bomb will quickly be extinguished. Throughout the entire test process, we will monitor the physical condition of the test subject and the condition of the equipment being tested.

“Once the impact force of the detector exceeds 25 Pa, we will stop the test to minimize any risk to his safety!”

After hearing the tester’s words, everyone’s tension eased a little.

Just looking at the Heavenly Fire Bomb’s appearance gave people a strong sense of oppression.

!!
“The Heavenly Fire Bomb’s structure is special. It was birthed from the fusion of modern technology and forging technology.

“Its predecessor was the aluminum thermite incendiary bomb. It could produce a high temperature of nearly 3,000 degrees in its range of attack after launch, and it was extremely lethal in crowded places.” Elder Huang stroked his beard and said with a calm gaze.

“However, the rampaging beasts’ bodies are protected by a spirit force shield, so the aluminum thermite couldn’t play a role in the beast tide. Later on, several blacksmiths from the Military Department improved the aluminum thermite incendiary bomb so that it could emit high temperature and shoot out countless armor-piercing fragments at the same time.

“Those armor-piercing shards are real spirit energy weapons. They pose a great threat to spirit energy shields and even heavy armor.

As if he felt that Elder Huang’s explanation was not perfect, the deputy director, Cao Jianzhong, immediately added, “Thus, the modified aluminum thermite incendiary bomb was renamed the Heavenly Fire Bomb. It’s very useful against large groups of vicious beasts or against extremely evil cultivators.

“It’s a pity that this Heavenly Fire bomb is too expensive to make. It’s meant to only be used at the most critical moment.”

Looking at the Heavenly Fire Bomb being moved into the defense test area, Cao Jianzhong appeared rather regretful.

After hearing this, everyone was suddenly enlightened. They also felt that this test was no small matter. If it was not done well, they might be affected as well.

In contrast, after Wu Mo learned about the previous and current version of the Heavenly Fire Bomb, he revealed an interested smile.

‘It seems that before my Spirit Wave Sword was invented, the White River province had already created a precedent of combining modern technology with forging technology. How interesting. This has provided me with a good idea!’ Wu Mo thought to himself.

In a short while, the test involving the Heavenly Fire Bomb was ready. The bomb that weighed dozens of kilograms was quietly placed in the corner.

Lone Wolf shook his shoulders as he stood in the area. He was already mentally prepared.

“The fourth round, the Legendary-grade defense test, shall commence. All visitors, please retreat to the safe zone.”

After reminding them, the tester immediately pressed the detonation button. Without a second of hesitation, the few of them turned and ran in Elder Huang’s direction.

Seeing that the testers were on guard, the researchers could not sit still and subconsciously took a few steps back.

In a breath’s time, only Elder Huang and Cao Jianzhong remained near the test field. Elder Huang was standing with his hands behind his back, while Cao Jianzhong was trembling with fear, not knowing what to do.

“If you’re too afraid, stand back. You don’t have to force yourself to be here.”

Seeing Cao Jianzhong’s legs start to shake, Elder Huang immediately spoke to him in a bad mood.

Cao Jianzhong dared not hesitate any longer. He immediately ran to a position 10 meters away, against the wall.

Even so, he still felt uneasy, and his figure was faintly visible behind the others.

The faces of the researchers who were used as shields turned green. They were quite critical of the deputy director in their hearts, but because of their superior-subordinate relationship, they could only keep their grievances in their hearts.

After a few seconds of chaos, the Heavenly Fire Bomb in the corner of the defense test area reacted.

The bomb’s shell, which was originally light silver in color, had turned red. It was as if intense heat was beating and brewing inside!

Witnessing such a scene at this moment, the usually brave Lone Wolf’s heart actually wavered a little. However, he suppressed the strange emotions in his heart after a moment.

He gritted his teeth and fearlessly faced the incoming missile that was comparable to a natural disaster.

In the span of a breath, the Heavenly Fire Bomb’s outer shell could no longer withstand the intense heat produced by the reaction internally. The high temperature instantly corroded the thick steel plates and penetrated them.

Countless dazzling rays of light erupted from the bomb, like a terrifying volcano eruption!

The surging flames instantly blocked Lone Wolf’s entire vision. Right then, it was as if he was facing a tsunami of flames several meters high. He looked extremely weak and lonely!

Bang!!!

The sound of the explosion rang out in the test area, and the fire instantly wrapped Lone Wolf’s body. The huge impact caused even the Tier 3 defense arrays around the room to change in color.

A small amount of energy escaped, causing the area’s temperature to rise.

Forget Lone Wolf, who was currently wrapped in flames!

Other than Elder Huang and a few other testers, the majority of the people had never seen a Heavenly Fire Bomb explode at close range.

The destructive power, which was akin to a meteorite hitting Earth, shocked and left all of them dumbfounded on the spot!

At this moment, only endless flames were left in the test area. Deafening explosions rang out one after another, and the strong impact caused the specially made bulletproof glass to shake and buzz.

It was as if it would explode in the next second and melt in the sea of fire.

As for the situation inside, no one knew at all!

When confronted with such a scene, Wu Mo could no longer maintain his previous calm state of mind. He pursed his lips slightly and stared at the room without blinking.

For the first time, his heart wavered a little as he thought about the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear’s defense.

Elder Huang was stunned for a moment, but he immediately sobered up and blurted out, “Hurry up and check the impact value.”

The staff at the side picked up the measuring instrument in a hurry and took a look. A series of numbers had already appeared on the display.

[Maximum Impact Force: 23 Pa

[Real-Time Value: 22.8 Pa]

The few testers were extremely nervous as they looked at the string of numbers before them, which were kind of red in color.

According to the rules, the equipment being tested had to withstand continuous damage from the Heavenly Fire Bomb, and the impact had to be within the passing line for it to be considered a success.

Now, the Heavenly Fire Bomb had exploded, but even though the broken pieces of its outer shell had been activated, the surrounding temperature was still at its maximum.

If the equipment being tested failed to withstand the burning and sustained damaged, subsequent explosions would definitely cause the impact value to soar to more than 80 Pa.

By then, it would be too late to save Lone Wolf.

Currently, whether or not he used the neutralizing agent to reduce the Heavenly Fire Bomb’s power, he was in an extremely disadvantageous situation!

“Elder Huang, this…”

One of the testers saw the urgency of the matter and got ready to explain the situation to Elder Huang.
