After having an idea, Ye Feng quickly started to design the mechanical arm. There were many problems that he had to resolve to make this work.
If he only had a flash of inspiration initially, then after deep consideration and planning, he started to write out a series of criteria and requirements —
The mechanical arm could not just look nice on the outside, if he only made a metallic arm, it would be a joke, the replica of the real arm would be better off made with other materials.
Blake was a Knight and also a Blacksmith with extraordinary talent, this mechanical arm could not burden his fighting capabilities, it even had to be of help to him.
At the same time, it needed to be useful in his daily life.
And as a Blacksmith, Blake needed a mechanical arm that could be useful in his forging, but at the same time, it could not become his weakness or something that gave him trouble.
After all, a weak person in possession of a treasure was simply asking to get robbed. If Blake’s mechanical arm was too useful, he might encounter this situation again, there was a need to consider such a problem when he made the arm as well.
Thus, after adding in these conditions, the materials that he was going to use to make the mechanical arm needed careful consideration, even a stage five Blacksmith like Ye Feng faced a huge difficulty in selecting them.
Ye Feng had a lot of materials, but it was not simple to find out the way to use them in this situation.
Even though Claude did not have many orders during this period, he still had a lot of materials stored up. Ye Feng watched his materials increase and decrease as he experimented and considered many different combinations of materials, he continued to refine the recipe through trial and error.
By the time Ye Feng solved the issue of the ratio of materials, more questions appeared in front of him. The formation was definitely an issue, what kind of formation should he use in this situation?
Furthermore, this formation needed to have great chemistry with the materials that he chose.
The mechanical arm needed to be used in daily life and fighting, it also had to be usable when he forged items, this was a strict requirement in itself. Furthermore, Blake’s own habits had to be taken into account, the arm had to be able to execute the actions that Blake wanted to do with ease.
Like this, he continued drafting many blueprints, in just a while, Ye Feng wasted a lot of paper, but he eventually decided on one plan.
The strict requirements also spurred Ye Feng’s competitive spirit, at this point in time, he wanted to test more possibilities and push himself further.
Looking at the blueprint, Ye Feng felt glad internally that Blake had not woken up because of his heavy injuries. If he woke up at this time, Ye Feng did not dare to imagine how much despair he would feel.
After confirming the blueprint, Ye Feng started to forge. At this time, Claude volunteered to take care of Blake during this period, after all, the latter had taken care of him earlier. Now that it was Blake’s turn to lie in bed, Claude did not feel good about it.
Ye Feng started to forge, the materials this time were very complex and varied, even Ye Feng felt a headache when he dealt with them. Among the materials that Ye Feng used, one of them was called the metal of life.
Even though it had a cool name, it was often ignored by people because of the lack of usability. Although it was a stage four material, it was inferior to stage three materials in price, the reason was that the metal of life had a peculiar trait in that it rejected most other materials.
This rejection effect would cause the forging to fail, this was why it was considered a useless material, but it had an effect of giving people certain special responses at specific timings, as if it contained life in it.
But weapons normally had resonance with the user to begin with, thus, the metal of life was quite redundant and became treated as the toy of rich aristocrat kids, it had never been used seriously.
It was not that nobody researched it, but most of these researches would end up in failure.
However, this material was very useful to Ye Feng in this situation now, if it really could allow the user to manipulate it at will, this material was a necessity in this arm.
Ye Feng spent a lot of effort when processing the materials, he first refined and purified the metal of life without fusing it with other metals. After the other metals were fused and Ye Feng carved several formations on them, he started fusing them again.
This fusion process was not very successful, but right now, the metals that Ye Feng had already carved formations on had some sort of peculiar resonate with the metal of life when he raised the temperature.
Because of this resonance, the materials that were originally turned red from the fire became pure white after the metal of life was added, the temperature also fell.
Ye Feng watched this situation occur while letting out a sigh of relief in his heart. Because of this reaction, Ye Feng’s idea had already half-succeeded.
At this time, Ye Feng raised the temperature again, after that, he started to carve formations on the newly melted materials. At this time, his back was already covered in perspiration, but Ye Feng was still working very stably.
The beads of sweat on his forehead were all evaporated by the intense fire of the furnace.
By the time the temperature of the fire fell, Ye Feng’s final formation was carved.
After he finished the forging, before Ye Feng had the time to inspect if he had forged something good or bad, he heard the system’s voice —
“Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging a superior-grade stage four weapon, mechanical arm, you have obtained 8000 fire elemental points, and the [Offensive skill: Void Slash].”
After hearing this notification, Ye Feng took in a deep breath, it went without saying that his forging attempt had succeeded, even though the mechanical arm was stage four, the amount of points he gained was even more than when he forged stage five weapons.
Especially when he was already close to breaking through, the newly obtained offensive skill made Ye Feng extremely happy too.
Ye Feng inspected the mechanical arm that he had just forged, other than the metallic luster it had, it looked like a genuine arm.
Ye Feng looked at this mechanical arm while thinking to himself, was there a way for him to forge his own mechanical armor in the future?
