Chapter 65: Demon-Breaking Dagger
Chapter 65: Demon-Breaking Dagger
Taoist friends who often practice refining tools know that blacksmithing is actually a skill that every mortal can master.
Wang Jixuan was also a little embarrassed.
He is now only a small cultivator at the initial stage of the Concentration Divine Realm. He is unable to melt the precious materials directly in his palms, and he does not have a suitable forging tripod. Even if he has a tripod, he does not have enough mana to activate it. He can only use this relatively primitive method.
But this is much better than when I made bone-penetrating nails before...
I broke it by hand at that time.
Another benefit of forging iron is that it can continuously introduce spiritual energy into the knife blank during the forging process, slightly improving its quality.
The knife blank gradually took shape. Since there was not too much material, it was just a small knife to verify the feasibility of this kind of magical weapon.
Soon, Wang Jixuan heated the knife blank again, took it in front of him, and in front of Uncle Tai, he raised his sword finger and pointed forward, quickly carving out two sets of simple restrictions on both sides.
Uncle Tai was stunned: "Fuck! What kind of ruthless iron hand are you!"
Wang Jixuan smiled without saying a word, staring intently at the knife blank. The most critical and important step had been reached.
He puffed up his mouth and a ball of Dantian Qi spurted out of his mouth. The restriction patterns on the outside of the knife blank were lit up in an instant, and the entire inside of the knife blank formed a passage in the shape of the restriction!
Wisps of spiritual energy gathered towards the knife embryo.
Wang Jixuan moved quickly, quenching, re-forging, and hammering it again, and the next step was to make it sharp.
Overall, a breeze.
Uncle Tai's Adam's apple next to him trembled slightly.
Although Uncle Tai was just an ordinary person and couldn't understand what was going on, his intuition told him...
Psykers are forging psyker weapons using psyker methods.
Did he really have to choose between the spicy anvil and the garlic hammer?
"Fortunately, I didn't say it out loud just now. I just thought about it in my mind."
……
Lingtong was busy until after four in the morning before returning to the supply station.
Even the iron-like battle girl looked a little tired when she came back.
When she walked into the main workshop, she noticed that everyone was still awake, so she forced herself to cheer up, her pretty face tense, holding a pile of paper materials in her hands.
Ok?
Lingtong was a little suspicious that he had seen something wrong.
Next to the operating table, Wang Jixuan rested his feet on the edge of the table and leaned back in the swivel chair. On his left was Wan Xiaoqi, who was fanning him diligently, and on his right was Uncle Tai, who was holding a cup of tea and nodding his head.
Ling Tong frowned and asked, "Are you guys...playing some role-playing game?"
"Hey!"
Uncle Tai looked up at Ling Tong and said seriously:
"Captain Lingtong, please don't be so harsh. It would be bad if you scared our future special-grade, no, human-grade mechanics!"
"Hahaha!"
Wan Xiaoqi laughed out loud, and Sister Wan was on the second floor holding a cup of industrial coffee, looking a little embarrassed.
"Hmm?" Lingtong tilted his head and looked at him.
Wang Jixuan asked with a smile: "How are you doing over there?"
"Something gained."
Lingtong immediately stepped forward, and Wan Xiaoqi quickly moved a chair to the side.
Lingtong handed the information to Wang Jixuan, who placed a fruit knife on the table. Following Uncle Tai's eye signal, Lingtong picked up the knife and examined it carefully.
Huh?
Energy reaction?
Although the energy reaction is very slight, it is indeed an energy reaction similar to psychic power!
"Can you tell me briefly what it is?"
Wang Jixuan returned the information in his hand to Lingtong and asked:
"I don't understand a lot of the professional terms here, especially some of the data."
"We found a pseudo-B-grade defective psychic in the laboratory of the Psychic House."
Ling Tong said quickly:
"This psychic should have been a rare B-level psychic, but there was a certain error in the process of receiving psychic energy infusion, and his body quickly collapsed. He can only rely on the nutrient tank to maintain his life.
“We haven’t found out what his specific abilities are yet, but the power at the level of the Psychic City has already intervened.
“But I am sure that the only singularity of the Psyker House is him.
"He probably only has less than half a year to live. He has already contributed dozens of papers to more than a dozen well-known scholars. Qin Qin brought him here to do research."
Wang Jixuan asked: "What's his name?"
"Meng Caiyuan."
Lingtong rubbed her neck, and Wang Jixuan stood up swiftly, went behind her and started to give her a massage.
Ling Tong continued:
“The frontline headquarters sent us intelligence about Meng Caiyuan. He had taken action three times and helped other war zones to carry out some operations.
“His ability should be to simulate a high-level Blade Beast giving orders to a low-level Blade Beast.
"The pigeon sound you captured was most likely transmitted by him. After passing through a special amplifier, it spread to the blade beasts in the distance."
Wang Jixuan frowned and said, "Can't we use this as an excuse to get rid of them directly?"
"There is no substantial evidence. The above information was left by Meng Caiyuan when he participated in operations in other war zones."
Ling Tong said:
"He was at the end of his short life and he was a failure.
"Otherwise, Qin Qin is just a researcher, and it would be impossible to get him to conduct research."
Wang Jixuan sighed: "It's quite tragic that he is being studied even though he is almost dead... Can you confirm the content of the signal he sent last night?"
"My whereabouts are most likely like this! Qin Qin should want to avenge me for killing Lu Dongjie, but these are just speculations and there is no evidence."
Ling Tong's tone was more eager to try:
"Now, a baby kingworm and a pseudo-B-level special psychic are targeting me.
“Don’t worry though.
“Reinforcements from the front will arrive in the morning. I will serve as bait to lure the beasts into terrain that is favorable to us.
“Now that the Psychic House has been sealed off, if a blade beast appears near our fortress next time—although it is more likely to be brought by the young kingworm, we can directly regard it as evidence of their collaborating with the enemy and betraying humans.
"Our real enemy is only the Blade Beast. These psychics are just some rotten meat. Don't worry too much about them."
Wang Jixuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he took the initiative to ask: "Can I go with you?"
"Go dig for crystal cores again?"
"Part of it."
"better not."
Ling Tong said:
"It is very likely that this will turn into a local war, not the minor conflict in the mine last time.
“The battle may be very intense, and it will be difficult for psychics below level C to play a role.
"The frontline psychic special forces will also arrive later. They are an important combat force. You'd better not expose yourself to them."
Wang Jixuan didn't insist for long.
He doesn't like to force other people to change their minds.
Wang Jixuan then asked: "Can the black storm be exposed?"
"That's fine. They are already investigating the Black Storm. They just want to prevent Wang Zheng from getting involved with it." "Okay," Wang Jixuan nodded in agreement.
Uncle Tai raised his hand and shouted like he was offering a treasure: "Lingtong, try that knife! Don't poke yourself!"
"Hmm? Is this a very powerful weapon?"
"Look here!"
Uncle Tai rushed to the corner, brought over a piece of alloy plate, and said quickly:
"The hardness of this composite material is equivalent to the hardness of the active front armor of the basic blade beast! Try it! Get close to it! Be careful, wait for a light blue light to appear on the blade, right! Now! Stab it!"
chap!
The dagger penetrated the alloy plate completely.
Uncle Tai howled excitedly: "The cow has grown big!"
Lingtong was also stunned.
Wang Jixuan reminded: "After one use, it will take about twelve seconds for the energy to accumulate and the blue light to appear again. This is just the initial version. I will continue to improve the process."
Ling Tong looked up at him, with a little more fluctuation in his bright eyes: "You did it?"
“Well, this is a sample.”
“Can it be mass-produced?”
"It's a little difficult for now, but I will keep exploring."
Ling Tong nodded calmly and asked quietly: "Then can I take it and make a report?"
Wang Jixuan said, "Why not wait until I make a version that can be mass-produced? I don't know if I can improve it successfully. If it's only produced in small quantities, it won't make much sense. I have limited energy... Later, I will donate the forging technology of this weapon to Grandpa Zhou Zhengde's forces free of charge."
Uncle Tai said seriously, "As Mr. Wang's exclusive assistant, I will shamelessly take advantage of this honor that will go down in history!"
"Okay," Ling Tong nodded slowly, "It's a pity that it's a melee weapon. It can only be used as a soldier's last stand on the battlefield. If we can make this kind of long-range weapon..."
"The ore may not be enough for consumption," Wang Jixuan said, "Uncle Tai checked the several ores I used, and the current production is limited."
"You mechanics are professionals in this area. You can always contact me if you need anything."
Ling Tong placed the dagger solemnly on the table beside him, staring at it for a long time, with an obvious smile on his face:
"Give it a name."
Wang Jixuan said casually: "Demon-breaking Dagger."
"So ordinary," Wan Xiaoqi muttered quietly, "I might as well ask for your life!"
Uncle Tai pondered for a few seconds and said, "Let's come up with a code name now to avoid leaks! We can use the official name after it's done... How about calling it [Lingtong 071 Project]?"
"There's no need to use my name," Ling Tong said helplessly.
"You are the leader of the team! This is a chance for you to go down in history! After you finish the Blade Beast Cultivator family tree, this will have a separate page!" Uncle Tai shouted confidently.
Sister Wan brought a bowl of steaming hot noodle soup and said softly, "Lingtong, take a break. Eat something and go to sleep. Let them do it themselves."
"Okay," Lingtong was indeed a little sleepy.
She took two steps, turned her head to look at Wang Jixuan, and said, "Thank you."
Several question marks appeared on Taoist Wang’s forehead.
"For my fallen comrades," Lingtong said.
Wang Jixuan smiled kindly.
……
Lingtong fell asleep soon after eating, while Wang Jixuan continued to ponder the method of refining the weapon.
The supply station finally fell silent at dawn.
There is a hint of peace in the silence.
On the contrary, the Psychic House on the third floor of the fortress was in a gloomy mood at the moment, with soldiers from the purge troops patrolling everywhere with live ammunition.
Qin Qin sat behind her desk, raised her hand and gently rubbed her eyebrows.
She couldn't figure it out.
I have no idea how she was discovered!
All psychic-related technologies are in the hands of the Psychic City, and it is impossible for the military to detect the waves sent out by Meng Caiyuan!
But now, the military has detected it!
Ling Tong suddenly broke in with his men, saying with certainty that they had violated a series of laws and military regulations. They also sealed off their laboratory and took control of her hard-earned research samples.
She's almost done with her thesis!
Qin Qin took a deep breath and let herself think calmly.
She began to understand why Kong Nu died tragically in Fortress No. 76... This place was different from other places. The psychics who were supposed to be the guardians of the fortress were turned into villains, while other places had to rely on psychics to deal with small groups of blade beasts and offset the threats posed by the mimic blade beasts.
Weird.
The atmosphere here was very strange to her.
Qin Qin certainly knew what she asked Meng Caiyuan to do.
Meng Caiyuan's ability is to communicate with blade beasts and simulate the signals of higher-level blade beasts. He has cooperated with military operations in other war zones several times before and misled the blade beast groups.
What she asked Meng Caiyuan to do tonight was to send information to the blade beasts that they could sense nearby, and let these blade beasts spread the information to the high-level blade beasts, spreading the false message that "Lingtong is here and is seriously injured and dying."
One of the three majors that Qin Qin studied was the social structure analysis of blade beasts. She fully understood the activity patterns of these blade beasts.
This kind of misleading information can easily lead to Lingtong being besieged and the blade beasts attacking the outer C area. Then she can play the role of the savior and use her connections to invite powerful psychics from the Psionic City in advance to wipe out the influx of blade beasts!
Reshape the glorious image of their Thirteenth Institute in this industrial fortress!
But now, at the very beginning, something has gone wrong...
It was discovered out of nowhere!
Ling Tong has already firmly established that it was Meng Caiyuan who summoned the Blade Beasts. In the next few days, if a Blade Beast really appears in Fortress No. 76 or nearby...
Qin Qin felt that she was only one step away from death.
"How did Lingtong discover that the military has already made a breakthrough in the relevant technology?"
"Forget it, it's useless to think about it. All I can do is ask for help and strong intervention."
Qin Qin looked at the communicator at hand.
She knew that the military had voluntarily left her communicator in order to get the City of Psychic Power involved and turn this incident into a handle to attack the City of Psychic Power.
This was an open conspiracy, but in order to protect herself, she had no choice but to step into it.
"How on earth did they find out?"
Qin Qin flipped through the 'Old Pervert' group in the chat list, still muttering in confusion.
at the same time.
Deep in the Sar Desert.
Facing the morning light, the young king worm buried its body in the gravel, slowly opened its mouthparts, and absorbed the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. Its vertical pupil, which was still oozing blood, stared in the direction of Fortress No. 76.
There are a total of three figures reflected in its vertical pupils.
In the corner of the laboratory of the Psyker's House, there is a vague figure in the nutrition cabin;
Ling Tong who is catching up on sleep to recharge his energy;
And, Master Wang, who had already obtained the second wave of ore and started forging iron with his bare chest.
[Multiple threats... confirmed...]
