The temperature in forging was an accumulation process. The more heat released instantly, the stronger the furnace body’s heat retention ability and temperature resistance. Thus, the temperature would also increase.

In modern industries, things such as converters, flat glass tempering furnaces, and open-hearth furnaces could achieve two to three thousand degrees.

The brick kiln that contained the cumulative wisdom of humans could also achieve a temperature of 800 to 900 degrees.

Even the iron smelting furnaces in some roadside workshops could control temperatures above 1000 degrees to melt pig iron.

Despite the territory being poor in many basic raw materials, it was not difficult to achieve a high temperature of 1500 degrees to melt the robot.

With the accumulated experience, they could use the calcium carbide method again.

The calcium carbide would be combined for a reaction and would produce acetylene—a flammable gas with an odorless and colorless aromatic.

Then, a large amount of oxygen would be generated and stored through scientific methods.

Through relentless effort, they would be able to create a miracle.

As long as they had sufficient acetylene plus oxygen, let alone 1500 degrees, even 3000 degrees would not be a problem.

Ai Jianfeng and his several disciples began preparing materials and starting the furnace while Su Mo and Lu Kuan were busy using the tools on hand to start shaping the mold.

They did not possess a punching machine, so after the robot was melted into the liquid alloy, they would need to use a cast-iron method as soon as possible and pour it into the previously made clay mold to be shaped.

This process had to be completed successfully.

The structure of several stress points of the climbing car would collapse if the precision of the molding were inaccurate. They would have to reheat it in the furnace and smelt it again before continuing to the following process.

Everyone continued to work busily.

The time quietly arrived at two in the afternoon.

Ai Jianfeng was the first to announce the good news that he was ready. He completed the last step and checked the blueprint again with Lu Kuan.

The whole smelting process officially began!

With experts that had mature craftsmanship supervising the production and the system as a backup guarantee, Su Mo had no worries throughout the whole process. Instead, he acted as the person who relieved the pressure on the others.

After four in the afternoon, the last arm of the robot was also turned into silver-white liquid alloy and was poured into a storage container.

The mold was also connected to the bottom of the container.

The liquid alloy flowed into the clay mold without hindrance and produced a trace of white gas as the temperature contrasted with the outside environment.

Everyone was nervous and did not dare to make a sound.

Fortunately, the pouring process did not take long. It took around five minutes to completely pour all the liquid into the mold. Next, they only had to wait for the cooling process.

“This is really an accomplishment! It’s the first car that we’ve built in the wasteland!”

The cold air outside and the hot temperature of the alloy surface oscillated back and forth.

Lu Kuan sighed as he stood next to the alchemy furnace, which seemed like a dream.

The first time driving a car and building a car were two completely different concepts.

If they succeeded this time, they could mass-produce vehicles as long as the territory had sufficient materials in the future!

This was a major breakthrough from zero to one. Lu Kuan could never have imagined completing it so quickly.

“The pace of the humans in the Deep Sea is getting faster and we can’t keep developing this slowly!

“We can develop radically as soon as we build a strong foundation in our territory!”

Su Mo glanced at the car structure that had yet fully formed and comforted everyone slightly. However, his attention was on the properties panel that the system had just analyzed.

[Alloy Frame Structure of All-Terrain Climbing Car (Level 5 Alloy)]

[Description: The frame structure is made of Level 5 alloy, which can help the passengers absorb most direct kinetic energy shocks.]

[Completion degree: 91% (Out of 127 stress points, 93 are perfectly completed, 18 are in good condition, and 16 are in qualified condition.)]

[Upgrade Method 1: Rigidity repairs: Repair the structural damages due to rough craftsmanship during production. This is to ensure that all stress points are in perfect condition. The upgrade requires survival points (590).]

[Upgrade Method 2: Alloy upgrade: Upgrade the alloy quality from Level 5 to Level 6. This will greatly improve the structural strength of the entire frame and increase the impact resistance and kinetic energy absorption. The entire frame will be repaired during the upgrading process to ensure that every stress point is in perfect condition. The upgrade requires survival points (13180; the corresponding materials can reduce the cost of the upgrade: Low-grade alloys, iron, copper…). ]

[Upgrade Method 3: Frame structure modification: Although the current frame design has no major defects, it has not found a perfect balance between internal space and biological safety. After the upgrade, the frame will have stronger structural strength and quality. The materials will also be upgraded in order to better protect the passengers and increase the chances of developing other properties. The upgrade requires survival points (29000; the corresponding materials can reduce the cost of upgrade: KF energy stone, meteorite…).]

It was inevitable there would be some human precision error.

Seeing the degree of completion on the properties panel, Su Mo nodded slightly and was not dissatisfied with the results.

Structurally, as long as all the stress points qualified, they could perform their tasks perfectly and ensure the balance was good enough.

Perfection made a 0.000…1% difference and would not be significant in a real environment.

Considering that he had to travel in the vehicle himself, Su Mo did not hesitate to spend a bit and chose method 1, which made up for the stress points of the entire structure of the car and made it near to perfection.
