Volume 4: National Craftsmanship Chapter 60: Dragnet Order
Ye Fan was obviously stunned. He received an order from his superiors to go to a special branch of Tianluodiwang - the No. 1 Home Base, to help the superiors' equipment department inspect the goods. He knew that this was not the authentic Tianluodiwang organization, but... me, Qin Shihuang, transferring money... what the hell is that?
They are here with a mission, be serious!
Ye Fan's mouth twitched, and he continued his next line, "Section Chief Liu Jiannan asked me to try out the weapons . It is said that they are very suitable for today's extraordinary people to use?"
"Oh! Sure, come with me to the backyard!"
Shen Jin led 30 people to the Artisan Soul Research Institute, where more than 20 temporary workers were already casting molds according to Shen Jin's instructions. It can be seen that the three [Artisan Soul Smelting Furnaces] each have 35 [pouring ports] outside, and blood-red liquid keeps flowing out, filling the [molds] on each [casting platform], and gradually cooling into pink parts, which exude a strange fragrance and a devouring power. Ye Fan and his friends were shocked when they saw the three huge black furnaces. The last time they saw this scene was... the central heating boiler room, but these three 11×11×11m large boilers were indeed a bit shocking. The [charred bricks] on them still had black light flowing, showing that this furnace was not an ordinary thing, and it contained a wonderful power. Shen Jin selected three things from the parts classified and piled up against the wall, [Steel Blade], [Bone Handle], and [Cast Iron Wide Gauntlet], and combined them into a [Steel Greatsword].
【Steel Great Sword】
【Durability: 1214/1214】
[Attack Power: 9.5]
[Features: Sharp, Bone Crushing, Delicious]
[Weapons are heavy and swing slowly]
[Number of enhancements remaining: 3]
This 1.6m fine steel greatsword is made of different materials than Sun Can's, but if we just look at the attack power, it has 0.5 more. However, Sun Can's weapon has the attributes of [Overheat] and [Lightweight], which makes it more suitable for him.
When the handle of this sword is made of bones, it is added with [Bone Crushing: Your weapon/tool has higher damage]. Shen Jin has tested it and found that [Bone Crushing] can increase the attack power of the equipment by 1.5. The [Sharpness] of the steel material also gives it a greater sharpness, which can cause greater damage to the flesh when killing zombies. Although there is no attack power bonus on the surface, it will be reflected in the battle. The last [Delicious] attribute, which restores durability + obtains the [Energy Enhancement] state, is even more of a magical skill!
How do the soldiers maintain these weapons after they are deployed?
The combat capability of cold weapons is related to the maintenance ability of its owner. If a magical weapon is not maintained regularly, it will not be able to kill the enemy. This weapon can automatically maintain itself when they kill zombies!
The combination of these three materials is the best solution Shen Jin gave to the Skynet Warrior! It represents the ultimate attack power and unlimited endurance!
Ye Fan looked at the two-handed sword. Although it was his favorite type of weapon, it looked like an ordinary steel weapon. Moreover, the pink hand guard made him feel a little... effeminate, destroying the fierce aura of the entire sword. "My ability is 'Thunder Body'. Any part of my body can emit lightning. The weapon I want to use must be very tough, otherwise it will not be able to withstand the impact of my body's lightning ability. It will break from the inside after a few uses..."
Ye Fan often has to change weapons because his violent lightning ability will destroy the weapons in his hands. Now that he has reached the peak of the first level, his body's ability is even more explosive. This situation may only improve after he reaches the second level and gains control over his own ability.
But... he will never be able to advance to the second level, so he needs an extremely tough weapon to accompany him in his battles!
Shen Jin was not worried at all. All his weapons, after being synthesized in the Soul Crucible, would adapt to their energy properties and merge with the energy of the user. "It's okay, you can give it a try. This sword has a high attack power, so be careful!"
"Heh~!" Ye Fan chuckled. He felt that although Shen Jin was very serious about his work, he loved to brag too much. How sharp could ordinary steel weapons be?
Is it possible to cut the stone with one sword?
He saw traces of weapons on the huge stone wall beside the wall, so he took out his two-handed sword and chopped it hard!
“Ss ...
The [cobblestone] wall was cut with a neat incision, just like a belly being cut open by a scalpel, easy and carefree, "hiss~!!"
The 30 cool extraordinary people along the way were all silent! (Here it means no longer silent)
Shen Jin felt that all the cool air around him had been sucked away. "Why are you scratching my wall? You have to try this!"
Shen Jin placed a 1 cubic meter [iron block] next to him. Ye Fan took a deep breath, swung the sword with both hands and chopped at the iron block, "clang clang clang——"
A harsh metallic friction sound was heard, but the process was very short, just like a person scratching the blackboard from the left side to the right side with his fingernails in 1 second, accompanied by a sharp sound of metal.
“Nice sword!”
Ye Fan's expression, which had been indifferent since he entered the door, finally broke through. At this moment, he was like a blooming chrysanthemum, overjoyed!
"Goodness! A weapon made of diamond can't cut through a one-meter-thick iron block so easily, right?"
"I see the captain hasn't activated his supernatural power. If it were covered by lightning, the attack power would be even higher!"
"A weapon like this... should be a mountain-guarding weapon, right? If the ones we use in the future are half as sharp as this one, that will be enough!"
Everyone was talking about it, and they were obviously shocked by this [Steel Greatsword]. The big iron block had been split in half by Ye Fan's blow, and Ye Fan obviously still had some strength left. The power of the weapon was naturally obvious at a glance, "You can come here and get your blood on it again and try!"
Shen Jin pointed at a basin of blood that had just been poured out and asked, "What kind of blood is this?"
"Zombie blood!"
Ye Fan frowned. No wonder the blood had a familiar smell, the smell of the zombies. He was a weapon lover and knew that blood should be cleaned in time, otherwise it would oxidize the blade. However, since the man in front of him was the forger of the sword, he must have some explanation. He put the big sword in. The [Pouring Basin] was bubbling. It was visible to the naked eye that the blood was gradually decreasing, and the pink guard on the sword was shining. A layer of red energy flowed on the whole sword, as if it had added a halo effect to the sword. "What is this!?"
"Energy enhancement can add energy attacks to your weapon, making the attack more powerful. At the same time... this sword can absorb zombie blood and repair itself, thus keeping it sharp!"
"Blood-drinking sword!?"
The 30 people were shocked again. They had only seen this kind of plot in online novels, drinking blood to repair and strengthen oneself.
"Excuse me...what price do we need to pay to obtain such a divine sword?" Ye Fan held up the sword with both hands and asked heavily.
"Eh? Divine... Divine Sword?"
Shen Jin looked at the sword and fell into deep thought. It seemed... as if... it was indeed quite powerful.
No, it has to be more expensive!
"For weapons like this, to be honest... we are limited by the raw materials here and the production is not very large, so when we provide them, we need a lot of raw materials, and some labor costs!"
"Hmm..." Ye Fan pondered for a moment, "Are there any other weapons?"
"Eh? Weren't we just talking about the price? Why did the topic change so suddenly?"
"Because it suddenly occurred to me...I'm only here to test the weapons, not to negotiate the price!"
The other 29 men in black suits nodded at the same time. "That's right... We just wanted to see if the weapons are useful. We will definitely have to exchange them for us after they are made. Two days ago, we went to Province Y to kill a group of first-order evolved zombies, and half of the weapons were broken. I was so worried!"
"Are there any other weapons? I like one-handed ones, shorter ones, which are more in line with my temperament!"
"Good guy! If you're talking about temperament, I won't be sleepy anymore. Give me a thin but long one!"
"I want something short and thick that can spin!"
"Oh, give me the thickest and biggest weapon in the team, it matches my temperament!"
"Give me something that can shoot, I...can shoot faster!"
Shen Jin looked at these people and suddenly started chatting: "You are talking about weapons, not something else... right?"
"What else?"
Shen Jin breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay... For the one-handed one that's shorter, I suggest you get a long sword. For the slender one, you must get a rapier. For the short one that can rotate, I suggest a hand axe. For the thick one, you must get a combat badge. For the last archer... the weapon you want is a shortbow instead of twin ponytails, right?"
“Ahem… Can I try them all? I don’t really like twin tails or not, I just want to find one that suits my output…” The last person felt a little embarrassed.
"Good fellow! That's enough of what you've said, brother. You're just a know-it-all!"
Shen Jin found that these people were actually quite cute.
The 30 people kept fiddling with the weapons that Shen Jin could make at this stage, and the surprise on their faces became more and more intense. The strength of this weapon was far beyond their imagination, as if the magic weapon in the immortal cultivation novel had fallen into reality, the Blood-Drinking Sword!
Ye Fan used his "Thunder Body" ability to fill the weapon. The [Energy Enhancement] attribute on it instantly absorbed his ability and transformed it into thunder energy. The two-handed giant sword flashed with lightning, as dazzling as the weapon of Thunder God. "Brothers... I feel that as long as I am careful, I may be able to fight the first-level zombies alone!"
"Brother is awesome!"
"If this sword could automatically restore itself, I could kill all the zombies until they are extinct!"
"Now we have carbon mesh battle suits made by the headquarters, which is much better. In the past, our brothers would be ripped open if they were hit by a first-level zombie. Now, as long as they are not hit in the vital parts, at least they will not die!"
After a while, everyone finished the experiment. Ye Fan called Liu Jiannan, the head of the Equipment Section, and carefully described from all angles the strength of the weapons that Shen Jin could provide and the "blood-drinking" characteristics, as well as the list of materials that Shen Jin proposed to exchange. Liu Jiannan smiled so hard that wrinkles appeared on his face, like a blooming chrysanthemum. "Okay, okay, okay! We have found our own weapons supplier... Materials are easy to talk about, as long as it's not excessive, we can agree to it and try to satisfy you... Hahahaha, I'm going to go to the laboratory to take a look. I heard that their technological superpowers haven't made any moves for a long time. Go stimulate them~!"
After Ye Fan hung up the phone, he understood what Liu Jiannan meant. According to Liu Jiannan, everyone in No. 1 Home was a family, so it was necessary for them to exchange materials. The locations where materials were stored were also an incredible resource. As long as Shen Jin was willing to help him make weapons, he would use all his connections to help Shen Jin apply for the materials he wanted. This time, he went to the laboratory not only to show off to Yang Tianyao, he also brought Fu Wei's list with him. These chemical materials could only be obtained from the laboratory.
As for steel and iron, they can be obtained locally. The Tianluodiwang branch of H Province will help Shen Jin obtain steel materials from Q City and its surrounding cities to ensure that Shen Jin can produce weapons uninterruptedly. The transaction ends here. Shen Jin has obtained the promise of Tianluodiwang Equipment Department to fully assist them in finding materials.
"Is it so... easy to talk to?"
Shen Jin originally thought that Tianluodiwang would bargain. The steel for producing weapons, Lao Fu's chemical materials, his own various strange materials, Li Moxiao's... snack supermarket, they actually agreed to everything. Shen Jin thought they would tell him about some difficulties, and then appropriately reduce some requirements, and finally persuade him to ask for less with emotional appeals and reason. Unexpectedly, it was so smooth . Tianluodiwang is not the government agencies of the past, which promised one thing and did another. Under the leadership of Hu Shou, they have a very good reputation and they all stick to their guns.
Shen Jin still trusts Liu Jiannan, who is also from the headquarters.
"In that case, you can take a batch of weapons with you first and use them for a while. You can send me the rest via satellite. I have enough steel and the production time will be very fast..."
After they tested Shen Jin's weapons, their future formations would change. They would no longer be the small team of corpse-slaughtering axes, Liquan spears, spiral blades and crossbows. They would have to go back and ask professional coaches for guidance on what the specific battle formation would be composed of.
Finally, Ye Fan leaned on the sword with both hands and said to Shen Jin: "Thank you for your contribution to our Tianluodiwang! You don't know what such a weapon means to us... efficiency and life. If my weapon was sharper, my brother would not have died..."
Ye Fan seemed to recall his former comrades-in-arms, with a lonely look on his face. Although he finally avenged his brother, but... the person was no longer alive. He could only rely on his current first-level peak supernatural power to kill zombies so that his fellow compatriots would no longer lose their brothers and... family.
This is also the oath that every soldier of Tianluodiwang takes before taking the "genetic drug" to become a superhuman. I swear to always protect my Chinese compatriots and drive away the zombies with my life until we recover our homeland!
"Oh, right... I see there's a second-level energy crystal core on your list. I happen to have one here. My captain gave it to me before, asking me to use it to absorb energy and advance to the second level. Hehe... I don't need it now, so I'll give it to you!"
Ye Fan took out a large red energy crystal core from his pocket. Shen Jin knew it was a power type at first glance, so he took it without hesitation. [Obtain: Second-level energy crystal core (power) x 1]
"Thanks!"
Ye Fan and his 30 companions are about to leave. This mission is short, like a vacation, but these soldiers have gained a lot. The impatient ones can't help but go find some zombies to try out their new weapons.
"Wait a minute! Captain Ye!"
Shen Jin looked at Ye Fan, who was so powerful, and suddenly thought that he might be able to help him...
