Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam?

347 High-Level Meeting

When the crowd observed carefully, they were immediately surprised to find that the heavily-armored man’s footsteps were light as if he was not restricted in any way.

Seeing such a strange scene, Company Commander Zhang and the few people around him immediately sat up straight and stared at the projection screen.

“Is this a new armor developed by some research institute?” a middle-aged man over 50 with a goatee said in surprise while he held his chair.

When the people around noticed that Battalion Commander Yang Ming did not stop him, they realized that he was giving them enough opportunities to discuss.

At that moment, another man, who had a little understanding of the field of forging, said, “Commander of the fourth company, can’t you see that this is a full-protection armor? The armors produced in White River never have leg protection.”

“Full-protection armor? What do you mean?” a man with glasses said. His question voiced the thoughts of the others as well.

After all, the company commanders in charge of the companies were all cultivators who knew nothing about forging, and naturally, they did not understand this professional term.

It had been 100 years since the spirit energy awakening, and the professional equipment in the military had been updated. Many terms such as guns and bulletproof vests had become memories of the past generation.

Furthermore, most of them were around 30 to 50 years old. How could they have a professional understanding of the new terms?

Seeing the confusion on everyone’s faces, the man who spoke earlier immediately explained.

“The full-protection armor is a piece of equipment that can protect the user’s entire body from the neck to the shoulders, abdomen, and thighs. It’s almost airtight.

“But although that thing has strong defense, it’s also extremely heavy. Even 100 years ago, only certain military forces that engaged in special work could use something like that.”

The man spread out his hands and had a disappointed expression as if he did not expect them to not even know this.

“Don’t be so smug. We’re now in the period of spirit energy rejuvenation. Don’t bring up your old and outdated knowledge.”

Someone next to him felt offended and immediately tried to silence him.

However, the man who had explained earlier did not care. He was fully focused on the young man who was walking toward the staff on the screen.

“That’s not right. Didn’t you say that the full-protection armor was incredibly heavy? But the man in the video seems to be walking with ease!”

Company Commander Zhang kept quiet for a few seconds before he voiced the doubt in his heart.

“Maybe they used some new materials. There are quite a few light materials on the market that can provide good protection.”

Chu Yi frowned slightly and gave an explanation that he thought would work.

“Be that as it may, if they really used light materials, why would the final product look so bloated? Even if it’s a full-protection armor, it shouldn’t be this thick, right?” the others immediately asked when they saw that the commander was interested.

In North China’s entire Third Military Region, there were probably only two military chiefs who knew more about forging.

Therefore, if they wanted to solve their doubts, they could only ask Minister Chu Yi for an answer.

“Since this new armor is one of the military’s secret projects, they must have used technology that we aren’t familiar with. I can’t tell what kind of material it is based on its appearance, but I think we’ll be able to figure it out soon.”

R&D Director Zheng Shaowei, who was sitting beside Chu Yi, had been silent for a while, but he quickly spoke with confidence.

Seeing that the two commanders could not distinguish anything, the others could only suppress their curiosity and continue to watch patiently.

Sensing the anxiety in everyone’s hearts, Battalion Commander Yang Ming’s face immediately revealed a smile that had a hidden meaning.

The video had just begun, and it was not time to surprise them.

After he finished watching the entire video, which his master had sent him last night, Yang Ming was in a state of excitement the whole night and almost went without sleep.

He was eager to share this news with everyone, but the video and information were classified.

Other than all the officers at the company commander level or above, no one else had a way of knowing this information.

Yang Ming believed that if anyone else present were present, their excitement would definitely be crazier than his after watching the entire video.

After all, he was a battalion commander, and had followed his master around the world, so he had seen many things.

However, one could say that the field of forging was a blank to the vast majority of people who were present.

The little knowledge he had was only acquired through his daily life.

How would these people know what kind of changes real top-tier forging technology could bring to real life!

Thinking back, Battalion Commander Yang Ming pressed the play button without changing his expression.

On the screen, everyone saw a young man in full-protection armor walk up to a strange instrument.

As the camera zoomed in, they were able to see the details of the instrument.

It was an instrument that weighed a few tons, and it was wrapped in iron with many control buttons.

There was a black plate protruding from the front of the instrument.

The plate was made of an unknown material that was neither gold nor jade. There were also many buffer devices embedded around it, which seemed to play a vital role.

The man in full-protection armor on the screen chatted with the staff for a while before he shook his shoulders excitedly as if he was warming up.

Seeing this scene, many of the people present realized that this was probably some kind of test.

“From the looks of it, this shouldn’t be a research institute.”

“That person seems to be preparing for a strength test, but the device looks different from the one we use.”

Through these two or three minutes of footage, everyone guessed that the man in full-protection armor was unlikely undergoing the test in a research institute.

“This should be one of the armories in our White River province. Look at the professional testing tools around. It’s very similar to the place I visited before.”

The man who spoke sounded certain as he pushed up his glasses.

“Why do I find the man in the armor a little familiar?”

Looking at the side profile of the face in the distance, Company Commander Zhang felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

“I advise you to talk less at this time. If you accidentally miss the exciting part, you won’t have the chance to replay it.”

Seeing the crowd’s endless discussion, Battalion Commander Yang Ming, who was sitting in the main seat, reminded them.

Hearing the profound meaning behind the battalion commander’s words, everyone immediately perked up.

Since this video was classified as a secret project, there had to be something unusual about it.

Company Commander Zhang could only suppress the doubts in his heart and continue to watch.

Just as the entire meeting room fell silent again, the man in full-protection armor on the screen immediately clenched his fists.
