A week later, in the Danbo District, outside the observation room of the newly built technical laboratory at the edge of the mountains.
Scholars and alchemists from all over the world sat in front of the screen, staring at the scene in the observation room with wide eyes. Professor Anton, who was specially sent as a technical guide, picked up the walkie-talkie in his hand. "You can start now, Mr. Huai Shi."
In the empty space of the observation room, Huai Shi raised his hand and temporarily took off the surveillance of the Continuation Institute. The flesh on his right arm quickly showed the texture of steel, and the complicated mechanism unfolded, revealing the lingering blood-red flames.
Forging furnace, start.
Right in his hand, crimson streaks quickly popped up on the heavy iron ore. Under his surveillance, the temperature in the observation room soared rapidly.
It was as if there was an invisible fire burning fiercely in it.
As his five fingers covered it, the fist-sized iron ore let out a fine cracking sound. The burning red color instantly faded, and the intact surface of the ore was already full of cracks.
Huai Shi retracted his hand and buckled the monitoring bracelet again.
The forging was over.
To be precise, the 'extraction' part of the demonstration was over.
When he picked up the hammer next to him and knocked on the ore full of cracks, countless stone powder rustled down, and particles with impurities scattered all over the ground.
And on the original table, the iron ore had become an iron bar as thick as a finger with a beautiful snowflake texture.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Huai Shi." The experiment staff hurried to greet him and handed him water and a handkerchief.
Huai Shi's head was already sweating.
After waving his hand to indicate that he did not need to rest, he turned around and went outside the monitoring room to join the discussion.
This was the demonstration and teaching of the Forger's skills.
Under dozens of observation and recording devices, all secrets were revealed and displayed in front of everyone for discussion and summary.
"It is indeed a smelting method that is completely different from the thinking of the Contemporaneous realm."
Anton studied the information on the screen and pondered for a moment. "It does feel a little like alchemy, but it is not sublimation through the matrix, but reconstruction from the old foundation … Is this the origin of the name 'Forger'?"
Beside him, Alchemist nodded. "There's a feeling of 'physical attraction'."
This was just a demonstration of the basic skills, and it was nothing special. The same effect could be achieved with alchemy, but there was a subtle difference between the two.
Those who came here were all experts and elites. Naturally, they could feel the difference.
Alchemy focused on the transformation and sublimation of miracles, extracting gold from ordinary objects and turning something rotten into something magical.
On the other hand, the craftsmen's skills were closer to the thinking of scholars. They paid more attention to strengthening the essence of the forged object. Instead of turning the iron into a more outstanding material, it was better to make the iron more solid and of better quality, which was the most ideal state in theory.
It was not smelting at high temperatures, but extraction and gathering.
The high temperature was just a supplementary effect to make the changes more visible and faster. The true key was that Huai Shi had temporarily given the item a strand of Origin Substance through the forging furnace.
It was as if it had been given a one-sided and fake soul. After giving the order, the iron contained within naturally gathered towards the inner layer, forming the final iron ingot.
Unlike alchemy, it did not change the essence of the object, but unlike scholars, it did not rely on laws. It had some of the advantages between the two, and at the same time slightly made up for the shortcomings between the two.
In terms of application, there may be advantages and disadvantages according to the actual situation, but it was still a technology that did not have the cost-performance ratio for the current situation.
The technology that once recreated the Twilight Village had developed to its peak, but it was not necessary for the current situation.
Having the characteristics of scholars and alchemists meant that they had to meet the harsh requirements for both aptitudes.
Huai Shi could take a detour with the Hand of Confinement, but the others could forget about it. The existence of the forging furnace alone had cut off the path for Alchemists to carry forward.
The forging furnace could only be built by the previous generation of Alchemists for their students, and now the only living Alchemist in the world was Huai Shi.
He was still paralyzed …
Now, he was gasping for breath when refining iron.
Moreover, not everyone was as adaptable as him and the Alchemists.
The more technology there was, the better. The best technology was often the most suitable for oneself.
What Huai Shi needed to do was not to spread her influence and recruit more disciples. Instead, she needed to provide as much data and practical cases as possible through the innate talents and advantages of blacksmithing. This would allow the research center to analyze and shorten the preliminary research process.
As for how to deconstruct, imitate, and absorb the advantages and advantages of the Alchemists' technology, and how much could be done, it was the job of these experts.
"Are you feeling well?"
During the lunch break, Professor Anton sat opposite Huai Shi with a plate in his hand. He glanced at the still red bracelet in his hand and said, "There's no need to force yourself. This is not something that can be achieved overnight. You should rest in peace now."
"Staying at home will make me look hairy." Huai Shi shook his head, "I have to come out and show my presence."
"As long as you have a sense of propriety."
Professor Anton did not try to persuade him. It was not that he was indifferent or anything, but he trusted Huai Shi's judgment more. So, he changed the topic and talked about the school.
But at the end of the meal, he could not help but ask about Huai Shi's condition.
"Actually, it's almost healed. But the tenants can't be chased away, and they don't pay the rent. It's always a waste of energy."
Huai Shi raised his right hand and moved his five fingers, revealing a trace of metallic luster.
It was a state he deliberately maintained.
Thanks to the triumphant progress a while ago, the Inner Circle of Dan Wave was changing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Everyone could feel the light of the future approaching bit by bit.
Great Si Ming's divinity was also recovering rapidly, like adding oil to the fire.
The original two-plus years was shortened by more than a month out of thin air.
This was not the final result, but it was still in the stage of slowly accelerating. It could be predicted that in the future, the speed of shortening would be faster and faster.
Now, he could be said to have escaped the most dangerous stage, and the situation would only become clearer.
Now, his body had completely recovered, and his soul was free from the erosion of the Abyssal sediment. He did not have to worry about the risk of solidifying at any time, but his injuries were difficult to heal.
His soul had merged with the forging furnace, and the Sacred Mark had merged with the two at the same time.
There was no distinction between the three.
Now, he was a genuine furnace of negative energy.
But the problem was that there was always a piece of annoying firewood in the furnace that could not be burned out. Not only that, it kept trying to erode him, assimilate him, and turn the furnace back into flesh.
The funny thing was, Huai Shi had been trying to restore the steel arm to its original state, but now, it was the other way around. He had to work hard to prevent the forging furnace from being turned into flesh.
After all, it was a destructive element, and even the cell tissue of a derivative had such a powerful threat.
Thinking of this, he was suddenly a little worried about the bald man who had disappeared.
He was not worried about whether his hair would fall off, but whether his condition would be a problem — this was what Huai Shi had been hiding from everyone.
Yoo Dong-ri should know that even if he changed his body and split his soul, he did not get rid of the erosion of the Abyssal. He just sealed the mutated part of his soul.
The transformation process was interrupted.
The progress bar was stuck.
He was still stepping on the wire rope of the Abyssal Abyss.
But it was useless to worry. With Lü Ri's family background, he could naturally keep him safe. Huai Shi did not need to worry about him.
After cooperating with the research center to complete the basic data collection, Huai Shi had nothing to do after setting the time for the next demonstration.
There were still a few hours before dinner, but there was nothing else to do.
He found that he had nothing to do.
He might as well take a leisurely stroll.
Go shopping.
With a bodyguard …
Wearing a flowery shirt and big pants, Raymond wore a big pair of sunglasses and a swordsman's straw hat. He held a crepe in one hand and an ice cream in the other. His backpack was stuffed with a bunch of specialties and car models, and under his arm was a complete set of spray equipment.
"Oh, the capital is really not bad."
He finished it in a few bites and scratched the leg hair on his legs like a gorilla that had not fully evolved. "Boss, pancake fruit … give me another set of crepe."
Huai Shi was dumbfounded. "What are you doing here?"
"Traveling!"
Raymond answered in a booming voice. Huai Shi was speechless.
After this guy had fun, he did not even drive his car. Every day, he would wander from morning to night. The only reason he would come back at night was because Fang Shu was paying for his meals.
Unless Huai Shi went out, he would never be found.
He was having so much fun in the Present Realm that he even forgot about the oath of the Tomb of the Unreturnable.
Anyway, he was now on a mission.
Forget about home? Absolutely not!
It was just a mission from the Ivory Tower.
In addition to being a driver, this guy's most important task … was to be a bodyguard. During Huai Shi's period of weakness, he protected Huai Shi from accidental assassinations and attacks.
In the end, Huai Shi's period of weakness was almost over, and everything was calm and peaceful. Nothing happened at all. He was even happier to touch him.
Seeing his unguarded look, Huai Shi could not help but sigh. "Are you protecting me or am I protecting you?"
"It's all the same, it's all the same."
Raymond grinned and was about to say something, but the smile froze on his face. His fingers subconsciously contracted and he crushed the crepe into mud.
The sauce splashed.
Huai Shi frowned, not knowing what he was doing, but Raymond's expression became serious.
"It's time to go home, boss."
He said, "Otherwise, we won't be able to make it in time for the six o 'clock cartoon."
At the end of the long street, the harsh sound of tires rubbing against the road rang out. The giant truck openly broke into the downtown area and started on its own. Then, the spray-painted logo of Huai Shi trembled, and the heavy cannon behind the cargo compartment began to warm up.
And just inside the core, the radar alarm was shrill.
The highly dangerous target was rapidly approaching!
Through the radar signal, Raymond only felt a bone-piercing chill completely engulfing him.
This kind of alarm was too outrageous, and the danger estimate had already broken the meter at the moment of detection.
It was just like saying something!
Who did Huai Shi, this bastard, offend?!
Grade 5? But how could a Grade 5 openly kill him in the downtown area of the Present Realm?
Just feeling the rapid approach of the signal, the gastrocnemius muscles on his calf began to twitch and tremble, and it was almost difficult for him to breathe.
He wanted to turn around.
But the terrifying chill froze his movements in place. An invisible aura fell from the sky and suppressed Gordium's body from a distance!
The nothingness of the killing intent actually brought substantial pain.
Then, a thick palm pressed on Raymond's shoulder.
"Brat —"
A face covered with muscles poked out from his side, turned around, looked at him, and wondered, "I just went out for a trip, why do you want to hit me with a cannon?"
"…"
In the brief silence, Huai Shi froze in place, looking at the smug old face, and finally couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Don't bully the younger generation for no reason, okay, Teacher Luo?"
"Of course, it's because it's fun!"
The head instructor of the Orchard Gym's 400,000 bodybuilding muscles, Huai Shi's cheap teacher, and the father of his senior sister, Coach Luo grinned, revealing a sinister smile that wasn't kind at all.
Long time no see.
