Chapter 146: Metalwork Base, the Only One in the Class
“The reason why the leg armor is the most difficult is because of its lightness. Then, it is because of its shape that it is destined to be the most difficult man-made armored weapon!”
Miss Xu said in a deep voice, obviously explaining to Lin Tian. At the same time, she also explained the characteristics of other man-made armored weapons. Then, she looked at Lin Tian and didn’t say anything.
“Miss Xu, I will still choose the leg armor!”
“You said before that to forge a man-made armored weapon, you must first start from your own advantages.”
Lin Tian replied. Although he chose the most difficult man-made armored weapon to build, if he didn’t start from his own advantages and randomly chose the first man-made armored weapon, it would undoubtedly be a waste of materials. After listening to Lin Tian’s words, she nodded her head in satisfaction.
Many freshmen would encounter such a difficult problem when they were making their first man-made armored weapon. They would choose the one that was easier to forge or the one that was more suitable for them. Lin Tian had chosen the one that was more suitable for them. However, it was the most difficult type of man-made armored weapon. Regardless of the final result, she still admired Lin Tian.
“Ding-ling-ling!”
At this moment, the bell rang, and the class came to an end.
“Your name is Lin Tian, right? I hope you won’t give up on your idea in the future!”
Xu Min saw that most of her classmates had left, so she stopped Lin Tian and said with a smile. After all, in a few weeks’ time, they would need to create their first man-made armored weapons. At that time, she hoped that Lin Tian would still insist on his own choice.
“I won’t, Miss Xu!”
Lin Tian smiled and spoke. Then, under the shouts of Zhou Yi and the others, he bid farewell to Xu Min and left the classroom.
…
In the blink of an eye, a few weeks had passed. Lin Tian’s knowledge of man-made armored weapons had become more and more solid. At the same time, he also understood the uses of many stones. For example, the black gold in his hand. Although it was only one kilogram, it was actually a material for man-made armored weapons. However, he could use their academic points to exchange for a large amount of black gold.
Black gold was the easiest material to obtain, followed by black ores. Black ores were the core stones. Under normal circumstances, one or half of them would be enough. However, the method of obtaining black ores was quite difficult. Basically, they only could only obtain it in class-C magical zones and above by chance. Moreover, there was a chance of finding a mineral vein.
The hardest to obtain man-made armored weapons was black ore, which was also the core stone. As for other component stones, due to the different types of man-made armored weapons, the required component stones would be different. In addition, they would also require a certain number of attribute stones. This caused the crafting of man-made armored weapons to be quite difficult.
“Students, today is the last class of our theory class. When the class starts next week, we will have classes at the Metalwork Base.”
“Next, our class will not be as simple as a theory class. Instead, it will be practical. You will forge your own armored weapons!”
Xu Min looked at the students in the classroom and said in a deep voice. Lin Tian’s spirit also surged after hearing that. After listening to so many theory lessons, he was finally going to practice. He couldn’t wait to forge his own leg armor.
…
Once a person had expectations, time passed very quickly. Soon, the second week arrived. On this day, Lin Tian, Zhou Yi, and the rest arrived at the Metalwork Base early in the morning. The Metalwork Base was located in the northernmost part of the Hex City University, on an island on Hex City Lake. The students could only row their boats and land on the island if they wanted to enter the Metalwork Base.
After arriving on the island, there was a secret passage that led into the Metalwork Base.
Xu Min brought over 200 students to the Metalwork Base. The exterior of the Metalwork Base looked like a gigantic black box. When the students entered the base, they were suddenly enlightened. The inside and the outside were two completely different worlds. The inside was extremely bright, and there were workshops one after another.
Each workshop was independent. At the same time, one workshop was equipped with a smelting furnace and forging tools, and it looked quite clean. On the other side was a training room, and there were quite a number of copper men on it. Moreover, there was a device on the heads of these copper men. They were probably testing something.
As for the center of the Metalwork Base, there was a statue. This statue was of an intelligent old man. On it were records of his life. It could be seen that this old man was the first to publish and was the one who had developed man-made armored weapons. His name was Gu Cheng.
“Actually, forging man-made armored weapons is just like forging iron. There are also a lot of tools that need to be used!”
Miss Xu randomly picked a workshop and began to explain to the students. In fact, she had already explained this more than once during the theory class. She even showed a video for everyone for research purpose. Lin Tian had watched it countless times and was already familiar with the procedure.
After Miss Xu explained to the students about the points for attention in creating man-made armored weapons, she went through half a class of theory and then started to create armored weapons for the students.
“Lin Tian, have you decided this time?”
“Miss Xu, I still choose the leg armor.”
After the students entered the workshop one by one, she came in front of Lin Tian again and asked him again. Lin Tian smiled and replied after thinking for a moment.
Giving him another chance, he still chose to forge the leg armor. Xu Min patted Lin Tian’s shoulder. Lin Tian could be said to be quite active in class. At the same time, she checked his performance and background after he entered the school. This big boy was deeply imprinted in her mind.
“Go for it, I’m optimistic about your result!”
After Xu Min encouraged Lin Tian, she left. What Lin Tian didn’t know was that he was actually the only student in the class who chose the leg armor. Because the leg armors were too difficult to forge. After the theory class, only then did everyone understand how difficult to forge a leg armor. After that, no one else chose the leg armor. Only Lin Tian was still persisting.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
By the time Lin Tian entered the workshop, the students had already started forging their own man-made armored weapons. The sounds of hammers striking could be heard. Lin Tian picked up the stones and threw them into the smelting furnace before starting to forge as well.
“The leg armors are indeed very difficult. There are only three sets of materials. I have to be serious!”
Lin Tian could not help but think to himself. At the same time, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Whether it was the temperature of the materials or the strength of the forging, he had to control it well. Otherwise, if he was not careful, all the materials would be destroyed.
