Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam?

Chapter 277 - 277 Three Excellent Blacksmiths



277 Three Excellent Blacksmiths

Principal Chen Yuansong nodded his head with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

“This long ax is compact in design and high quality. It’s not bad for cultivators who know how to use an ax. When you go back, tell your leader to mass-produce 100 of them and send them to the eastern war zone for our soldiers to try.”

The blacksmith on the stage was about to leave after Principal Chen Yuansong’s evaluation, but another master blacksmith, Yuan Gang, suddenly spoke up and asked him to mass-produce a portion to test the waters.

The sudden surprise made the young man’s face turn red with excitement.

He had just heard a piece of great news, and he almost jumped up.

In the major research institutes or scientific research units under the military, permission to mass produce developed equipment was a certification of strength from the officials!

Although he would only be testing the waters with 100 axes, he had taken the first step.

One should know that many researchers who had worked in institutions for more than a decade would still not reach that level.

The ability to mass produce equipment was the best stimulant for a young man in his 30s!

Seeing him hurry down the stage with a grin so wide that it almost reached the back of his ears, the countless blacksmiths were there to observe felt envious.

Many previously thought that the young man was not strong enough based on the double-edged ax he had forged. Now, they were surprised too.

In their eyes, it was clearly just an ordinary and somewhat nimble ax, so how could it receive such a high evaluation from the three masters?

Of course, those cultivators did not know anything about forging. They would only understand its profoundness if they got personally involved.

The crowd in the entire venue was constantly whispering.

In just half an hour, five blacksmiths had already gone on stage to demonstrate their works.

Among them, only two had left a deep impression on people. They were the two blacksmiths who had cast the Cloud Breaker and Storm Ax.

Before the sharp gaze of the three judges, nothing could be hidden, whether it was true or false.

They would only receive recognition if they showed the forging masters their true strength.

But it seemed like it would not be easy to achieve that result.

At the very least, they would have to present Epic equipment.

The equipment’s strength had to be extremely high and stand out based on its quality alone, or its effects had to be remarkable and more than the usual.

The sword’s penetration and the ax’s benefits in a long battle were such examples.

Those were very attractive effects.

“Next, Mr. Meng Hua from the Spirit Forging Academy of Taihe City,” the host in a formal suit said in a clear voice at the corner of the exhibition stage.

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man in light yellow clothes immediately walked up.

The young man had a handsome face and a slender figure that gave off the aura of a young master in ancient times.

He had a smile on his face as if he was very confident in the work he was going to show.

“I’ll show you a heavy weapon called the Destruction Cannon.”

As soon as Meng Hua spoke, a series of clicking sounds immediately came from the stage.

The crowd stared and suddenly found that there was a large empty space at the center. Then, a big black structure with a metallic luster was raised up.

The black object seemed to be a cannon, and there were huge wheels made of fine iron on either side, which could be moved at any time.

The long muzzle that extended out from the middle made the audience nervous as it was aimed at them.

They were afraid that it would suddenly go off and hurt them.

“Don’t worry, everyone. The Destruction Cannon I’ve forged is incredibly stable. There won’t be any problems. Not only is it very flexible, but it can also launch long-range attacks at any place within a kilometer. But most importantly, it won’t kill the enemy. Instead, it will emit an energy similar to infrasonic waves, which will instantly make the enemy lose the ability to fight back!”

Meng Hua went on and on about the cannonball he had developed. When they first heard about it, everyone thought that it seemed to be very useful. However, there had been weapons with similar effects 10 years ago. Upon impact, it could stun most ordinary people and other creatures within its radius.

Even if this energy cannon could be used against cultivators and vicious beasts, it was not considered a very powerful invention. In comparison to a shock bullet, it only had an improved range of attack and effect, but in contrast to other weapons, it was much more mediocre.

Moreover, rampaging beasts were not afraid of firearms. Even if infrasonic waves could disrupt them, the effect would be very ordinary.

In the end, the blacksmith only received a passing evaluation from one of the master blacksmiths just as everyone had expected.

In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed since the exhibition began.

There were now a total of 12 blacksmiths on the stage. Seven of them had received a good evaluation, two of them had only passed, and the other three had received an excellent evaluation.

The three excellent blacksmiths had respectively forged an Energy Hand Cannon that could carry out energy wave attacks, a Heavy Thorned Armor that could greatly resist physical attacks, and Wanderer’s Boots that used new materials and could allow one to float in the air for a short time.

Of the three types of equipment, the most scientific one was the energy hand cannon.

The hand cannon only weighed 10 kilograms, and it could be lifted with one hand. Its hit rate was extremely high. Even cultivators who had bad aim could easily hit their targets.

The most valuable thing about it was its long range, which could reduce the casualty rate of the cultivators on the front line.

It contained the fusion and innovation of modern technology as well as the field of forging. Hence, Lord Song Yi paid slightly more attention to it and gave it more praise.

The Heavy Thorned Armor was also an amazing piece of equipment. Its ability to reduce physical damage was so powerful that only Legendary-grade equipment could match it.

The price for this was zero protection against magical damage.

If you wore this equipment, even if your other equipment had magical defense abilities, they would still be nullified.

However, this weakness was not enough to overshadow all the advantages of the thorned armor. In fact, in the battle zone, most of the monsters that came out of the space-time rift fought with sharp claws and teeth. Only a few could condense magic attacks.

Moreover, even if they encountered a creature that could attack with magic, the wearer could switch his equipment in time.

This was because the thorned armor had been made with such a situation in mind, and the blacksmith had added an additional function for easy wearing and removal. As long as spiritual power was absorbed into the body, the armor could immediately be stripped off, and the whole process would take less than five seconds.

At that time, the cultivator could completely equip himself with other normal equipment, like the ninth-generation combat suit.

With its super strong protective power, the blacksmith received an excellent evaluation, and his work was even approved for the mass production of 500 pieces. That made the numerous observing blacksmiths envious.
