Chapter 262: A Hundred a Day
?
Roams was surprised. He had indeed forged the sword with the teorite core pieces.
Himl Soan was going to throw away the pieces after draining their energy. On second thought, he felt maybe Roams could make sothing out of them. Hence, he gave over a thousand drained pieces to him.
He didn’t expect Roams to forge a sword so fast.
The energy the sword contained even surprised Himl Soan. A mortal man could build a sword that could exert the power of a cultivator. That was the miracle of science.
However, it only made Himl Soan’s eyes light up a little. He admitted technology had much potential. However, it ca with a price.
It was the sa as the space cannon. Building one space cannon had cost so many materials and manpower. The space cannon was an expensive project.
What if they could use supernatural power?
If Himl Soan had recovered to his current state back then, he could have crushed the teorite with his bare fist.
It was sothing science couldn’t compare to, but it had its own rits. For instance, with that sword, Roams could easily defeat a cultivator of the Essence Refinent Stage. If he could build a set of armor in the sa way, maybe he could withstand a Foundation Establishnt cultivator.
Of course, ordinary people’s physical bodies were too fragile. Roams could barely pick up the sword. When he tried to strike Himl Soan just then, he was stumbling and trembling from head to toe.
After he missed the target, he didn’t have any strength to pick up that sword again.
“Nice sword!” Himl Soan complinted.
Roams felt uplifted when he heard those words and jumped to his feet. “No, that’s not good enough! I’ve made it as lightweight as possible, but it’s still too heavy for . It’ll be great if I can forge a sword everybody can pick up!”
Himl Soan nodded. If he really could do that, the sword could beco the three division’s issued weapon.
Right now, most of the mbers were fighting with their bare hands. Very few of them had a sword. An iron sword was more like a decoration to them. It would break after a few strikes.
Moreover, they couldn’t inject an iron sword with spiritual essence. Ordinary material couldn’t withstand that kind of power. It was like how one couldn’t hold up a chunk of iron with a paper boat.
The sword Roams built was suitable for cultivators.
“How many teorite core pieces did you use to forge this sword?” Himl Soan asked.
Those pieces were non-renewable materials. Once they ran out, it would be extrely difficult to find more. Therefore, they were very precious. But only for Roams.
Himl Soan didn’t care much about the pieces because he had already absorbed their energy. There was hardly anything left. To him, they weren’t much different from ordinary stones.
He had asked Drake to bring back the pieces mainly to see what Roams could co up with. If he couldn’t figure anything out, they could be thrown away as ordinary stones.
Together, they contained the energy of a planet. Even after Himl Soan had drained the energy, they still had so research value.
The teorite core was the energy source of a planet since its creation. It was similar to the heart of the volcano and the desert spirit.
The teorite core worked the sa way. It also represented the property level of a planet. The larger the teorite core, the more civilized the planet and vice versa.
Judging by the pieces, Himl Soan concluded that Mars used to have a civilization at least as prosperous as Earth.
“Well, I wasted two pieces at first to experint on them. Then I used four pieces to forge this sword. But that was only the first sword. If I do it again, I’ll only need four pieces!
“And I can improve. With practice, I should be able to reduce the number to three!” Roams rubbed his chin and contemplated.
It was just like what he said. If he were given another chance, he wouldn’t need more than four pieces.
He was already calculating in his mind. When and where should he add the pieces?
He would need to figure out all those details.
If other people were doing this job, they would need to experint over and over again before they could calculate in their heads. But Roams didn’t need that. He only needed to try it once before he could make the deduction.
Himl Soan was a little surprised to hear the answer. A sword only needed six pieces!
No, Roams could make it to three. Three pieces could forge such a formidable iron sword.
Anyhow, Himl Soan was glad he hadn’t thrown away the pieces. Although they didn’t contain any energy, they weren’t useless.
He had thought it would take over a dozen pieces to forge such a sword. If that were the case, maybe they wouldn’t have enough pieces.
There were only over a thousand pieces in total. If each sword cost a dozen of them, they could only make fewer than a hundred.
“Great. Use your thod and build a hundred swords. How long do you need?” Himl Soan asked.
The swords could increase the three division’s power significantly. But that wasn’t his main purpose. He wanted to forge the iron swords because he wanted to train so capable fighters.
To keep the world in a united state, they would need a formidable army.
