Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Forging Grandmaster

In the reconstructed goblin workshop, the Gru Patriarch was bare-chested, holding a forging hammer one size larger than his head, and was engrossed in pounding the mech's shell on the forging table.

Xiao Longchen held a charcoal pen and wrote and drew on the blank animal skin scroll, which had the pattern model of each part, as well as the size and other parameters.

On the forging table that had been vacated for him to draw a picture, there were still more than a dozen animal skin scrolls written by Xiao Longchen, all of which were assembly parts of the battle-suited mecha.

These things were actually copied into Xiao Longchen's mind by Xiao Xing, he only needed to do some simple work of writing and drawing, and he didn't need to spend any brains at all.

Each battle mecha is composed of more than 3,000 parts, and Xiao Longchen needs to draw the design drawings of each part, and then the Patriarch Gru himself will hammer it and carry out the first attempted forging.

Although the work of drawing the design is simple, it cannot be completed in a while, so when Xiao Longchen drew the first design of the breastplate, the Patriarch Gru couldn't wait to start forging.

This cuirass looks very simple, but it is actually the most important part of the entire battle mech.

When fighting, the most attacks received by the battlesuit mecha come from the front, and the torso will receive relatively more attacks because of the largest area.

Therefore, the defense level of a combat mecha, this plate armor on the torso can be said to play a decisive role.

And under this plate armor, there is also the power core of the entire battle suit mecha, which is like the heart of a human being, not only the most important part that cannot be missed, but also very fragile itself.

In fact, before starting the forging, Xiao Longchen told the Patriarch of Gru about these requirements in detail.

In order to make the entire armor as defenseally as possible, the Gru Patriarch finally decided to use the strongest metal that their goblin clan currently has, the Red Fire Gold Element, to create the outer shell of the Armor Mech.

Although it is not the hardest of all metal types, it is considered the best metal for armor due to its extreme flexibility and ability to block the star attacks of the Astral Sorcerer.

If it is in the human world, if you want to find a large amount of red fire gold essence, it is undoubtedly equivalent to a fool's dream.

This metal is produced in small quantities, but the demand is enormous, but almost all the red fire gold essences that have ever appeared on the market have been made into defensive armor on the sorcerer's body.

However, the goblin clan has a 10,000-year-old heritage, and since they completely broke with the human race, the red fire gold essence they excavated has almost no use, so in these thousands of years, there are at least thousands of tons of inventory in their warehouse, which is enough for Xiao Longchen to squander!

The sound of ping-pong metal striking was endless, and Xiao Longchen was drawing drawings, and from time to time he glanced at the Patriarch Gru who was forging the breastplate.

As the most powerful forging grandmaster of the goblin clan, the moment the Gru patriarch picked up the forging hammer, the whole person became extremely solemn.

Not only can you instantly achieve no distractions, but also let your own spirit and spirit and the forging hammer in your hand integrate, and completely achieve the perfect realm of heart and hammer integration.

The scorching earth fire in the magma lake below was led by the goblin clan into the furnace of the workshop through a special method, and the whole piece of red fire gold essence gradually turned red under the burning flames, and when this calcination reached the optimal critical point, the Gru patriarch took it out, and then rhythmically and frantically swung the forging hammer in his hand, and carried out intensive forging like raindrops.

The large forging hammer weighing seventy or eighty pounds was completely as light as nothing in the hands of the Gelug patriarch, who was only one meter and two meters tall.

With that dazzling and rapid thrashing, the red fire gold essence with a fiery red body, as if it had a life, danced on the forging table.

After only three re-furnace calcinations, the original square-shaped metal ingot magically turned into a golden-red cuirass densely covered with cloud patterns.

Not only is the thickness of each part very uniform, but the marks on it that are struck by the forging hammer are also as regular and beautiful as fish scales.

If Xiao Longchen hadn't seen the entire forging process with his own eyes, he would definitely not believe that it was made by hand.

Although Patriarch Gru is 100 years old this year, the high-intensity forging just now seems to have no effect on him.

He first clamped the cuirass with long-handled iron tongs to examine it carefully, and after confirming that there were no defects, he put it into the orange-red forge again, and only after the cuirass was burned red and shiny, did he put it in a nearby pool with iron tongs.

Originally, Xiao Longchen thought that it was filled with water, but when the red cuirass that exuded a scorching high temperature was thrown into the pool, it did not rise as the imaginary water vapor, but like a mud cow entering the sea, just a few bubbles churned slightly, and there was no sound at all.

When the red-gold cuirass was fished out again, the original scorching heat had been completely cooled, and the surface seemed to be coated with a special coating, and the whole showed a thick and calm dark golden color.

Xiao Longchen also has some understanding of traditional Chinese forging and knows that this step is called quenching. It's just that the goblin clan's method is obviously a little different, and the quenching agent in the pool has aroused Xiao Longchen's great interest.

After going through the quenching step, the cuirass component was completely completed, and the Gru patriarch directly held the dark gold cuirass in his hand, and after carefully examining it again, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

He handed the cuirass in his hand to Xiao Longchen, and said quite smugly: "Little friend, let's see, can this cuirass forged by the old man meet your requirements?"

Because drawing drawings doesn't require Xiao Longchen to use his brain at all, he has always been observing the forging of the Gru Patriarch with two minds, and after seeing this magical skill with his own eyes, he is also completely impressed by this seemingly simple, but actually extremely complex skill.

Taking the breastplate handed over by the Gru Patriarch with a pilgrimage mood, Xiao Longchen looked at it several times, but he didn't see any fame in it.

Even though this thing looked extraordinary, Xiao Longchen decided to conduct some experiments to verify that it was up to par with its sturdiness.

So he put down the charcoal in his hand, laid the piece of cuirass that looked like a work of art on the ground, and then put on his suit mech, activated a mini quantum cannon with moderate power on it, and bombarded the dark gold cuirass.

For his simple and crude detection method, the Gru patriarch did not show any displeasure, but watched with an expectant expression, as if he also wanted to verify whether some of the armor he forged could withstand the powerful weapons on the battle-armored mecha.

In the forging workshop, in addition to the Gru Patriarch and Xiao Longchen, there were also twenty or thirty middle-aged goblins who looked as calm as a mountain, they were all blacksmiths selected by the Gru Patriarch, and they were ready to let them join the work of forging components after conducting their own experiments.

After all, each of these new battle mechs has thousands of parts, and if all the work is done by the Gru patriarch alone, I am afraid it will take a long time to do it.

The fact that these goblins were able to be selected by the Gru Patriarch to assist him in such an important task shows that they are all very good at forging.

Just now, when they saw Patriarch Gru complete the forging in one go, they were all shocked in their hearts. Perhaps in the eyes of Xiao Longchen, a layman, the whole forging process just feels quite skilled and sophisticated. And in the eyes of these experts, it is almost a superb skill that has long been practiced as instinct.

The originally lifeless metal, in the hands of a forging grandmaster like the Gru Patriarch, it was almost like coming to life, and it danced on the forging table for a while, and it turned into a perfect work of art.

Therefore, when these twenty or thirty forging masters of the goblin clan noticed Xiao Longchen's intentions, they all looked forward to it one by one.

Out of absolute confidence in their patriarch, they felt that this human boy's weapon would never be able to break through this sturdy breastplate.
