Chapter 341 - 341 The Deadly Weapon, Heavenly Fire Bomb
341 The Deadly Weapon, Heavenly Fire Bomb
After listening to Wu Mo’s explanation, Elder Huang’s eyes lit up a little. He could not stop his wrinkled and dry hands from trembling.
If everything was as Wu Mo had said, then the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear had not been damaged by the spirit wave device’s bombardment.
Only the plating on its surface had fallen off!
At the same time, this also proved that the exoskeleton armor’s defense had long surpassed the standard of Epic grade!
It might have even reached the Legendary level!
“Gasp…”
Thinking of this, Elder Huang’s face was full of excitement. He was even more shocked than when he saw Lone Wolf flying in the air with his own eyes!
Excellent mobility and the ability to carry people were highly important on the battlefield.
However, if an equipment’s defense was not good enough, the user would be shot down by enemies or fierce beasts, and his or her life could be in danger.
Ultimately, the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear’s internal structure was extremely complicated, and the cost of mass production would be extremely high. If it could be easily damaged, it would be difficult to meet the equipment standards set by the military.
In the future, the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear would probably just be used by extremely powerful cultivators. It would not fall into the hands of one-star cultivators.
Therefore, when Elder Huang saw the black spots on the armor, he felt really worried for Wu Mo.
Now, however, after understanding the situation, he felt much more at ease.
With a defense that surpassed Epic grade, it meant that its durability was up to standard. Thanks to the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear’s outstanding performance, Elder Huang was almost certain that the military would carry out secret research within three months and put the matter of mass production on the agenda.
Seeing that Elder Huang’s expression had eased, Cao Jianzhong and a few other R&D staff also had a look of realization on their faces.
He did not expect the exoskeleton armor to not reach its full potential in the test.
It was truly shocking!
Just as everyone was slowly digesting the latest news, the staff outside the defense test area dutifully reported that the equipment had felt the impact of the latest defense test.
Since the patch that detected the impact value had been placed on Lone Wolf’s chest, the value obtained was incredibly accurate. Once the value exceeded 25 Pa, it meant that the equipment would not be able to absorb and block the damage. The user would have to withstand a huge impact and might even sustain a serious injury.
“The impact force is 10.6 Pa. It has passed the spirit wave defense test.”
The staff member reported the impact value with a surprised look.
At this moment, Wu Mo’s face revealed a knowing smile.
“It’s really unbelievable…”
The security chief was standing at the entrance of the building, which had been sealed off. He looked at Wu Mo in disbelief and could not calm down.
As the test building’s security chief, he had seen all kinds of people in his years of work.
There were prodigies who had become six-star blacksmiths in their 30s.
There were also masters in their twilight years who still had drive in their eyes!
Since he was a cultivator, he had no interest in these various numerical tests. Only the beautiful images of the defense test, which were filled with inexplicable results, could arouse his interest.
Hence, he had a deep impression of the various equipment defense tests.
From the small shield that Armory No. 64 developed to the large standard armor that was widely used on the battlefield, there were very few pieces of equipment that could resist the spirit wave attack in his memory.
On top of that, the impact value was almost never below 15 Pa.
Today’s observation not only gave him a new subject to talk about during tea and mealtime, but it also helped him understand one truth: People who were truly willing to work hard and had talent would never be bound by reality’s various rules and regulations in their thoughts and actions.
Not only was Wu Mo’s invention far more than just a normal piece of equipment, but it was also more practical than a bunch of the military’s equipment.
He had never seen anyone who could achieve such a level at such a young age in all his years working in the armory.
Compared to Wu Mo, Chen Yunjin, who had visited the armory to learn some time ago, was simply too rotten to improve.
‘You don’t have much skill, but you’re arrogant and self-righteous. Plus, you have a bad temper,’ the security chief cursed in his heart.
Right then, Lone Wolf heaved a sigh of relief in the test area when he found that the impact value met the standard of Epic equipment.
He was afraid that the test would stop there.
Although he knew nothing about forging, he still knew how much a piece of equipment’s defensive power affected it.
The black spots that had appeared on his breastplate earlier had made him extremely depressed. One should know that the military had extremely high requirements for equipment that was produced on a large scale.
If the maneuver gear did not even meet the standards of Epic-grade defense, it would not pass the mass production review and help more disabled cultivators.
Fortunately, the tester finally gave him the answer he wanted to hear, which lifted his heavy heart.
He lowered his head and subconsciously touched the black spots on the breastplate. After careful observation, he discovered that the spirit energy wave attack from before had only damaged the outer armor’s surface plating.
“Tsk, tsk, I knew it. The equipment developed by Wu Mo couldn’t be so fragile,” he said happily.
Then, he immediately gave the tester an “okay” sign, indicating that the test could continue.
The few people outside sighed. They wanted to tell Lone Wolf that the last Legendary-grade defense test was incredibly dangerous and ask him to leave.
However, when they thought of the stubbornness that Lone Wolf had displayed earlier, they exchanged glances and finally swallowed their words. With that, they began preparations for the final Heavenly Fire Bomb.
In nearly 100 defensive tests of various sizes, there had been very few pieces of equipment that made it to the Heavenly Fire Bomb.
Also, because of its high cost and destructive power, even the armory, with its great amount of materials, only had two.
If it were not for the occasional training in the test building, the staff probably would not know how to use the bombs.
Everyone waited for a moment, and not long after, two staff members brought out the last Heavenly Fire Fomb stored in the warehouse.
Everyone looked up and saw the two male staff members struggling to lift a silver-white cylindrical object.
The object was shaped like a missile. From the expressions of the two staff members, it was obvious that it weighed more than 60kg.
It had to be the so-called Heavenly Fire Bomb.
Most of the people present could not help but feel nervous when they saw such a huge object being carried out.
Given the Heavenly Fire Bomb’s size, its explosive power was probably beyond imagination.
The more powerful something was, the more difficult it was to control.
Therefore, everyone was worried. If the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear was destroyed during the test, or if Lone Wolf’s life was threatened, how would they deal with it?
