At this moment, Gu Shan looked over at the blueprint as well and curiously said,” This kid’s design is pretty strange. How interesting!”

Just like Lin Xiangyun, he could not see the details, but based on his experience, he guessed it was an equipment type that could carry people.

“Hey, this kid is done drawing. Why didn’t he hand his blueprint over?” Gu Shan looked at the screen in confusion. After Wu Mo finished drawing, he went back to his bed and lay down. Then, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

“Maybe he’s too tired from drawing the blueprint and he wants to rest first!” Lin Xiangyun laughed. After all, an ordinary blacksmith can’t simply draw a blueprint in two days. On top of that, there can’t be any mistakes in his drawing process, so it’ll definitely consume a lot of energy.”

“That’s true! However, the young blacksmiths of today have never experienced the most dangerous and chaotic era. As soon as they start, they put all their energy into forging. They don’t think about it. If they don’t have enough strength, their forging path won’t be far. This kid’s body is so weak. If he encounters an enemy, he’ll be useless!”

Lin Xiangyun obviously did not agree with Gu Shan’s point of view. “You can’t put it that way. After all, a person’s energy is limited. There are special areas in every field. If one wants to cultivate and study forging at the same time, one might not be able to do anything well when one’s energy is scattered. How can one stand out from countless blacksmiths then?” he retorted.

“Fine!” Gu Shan said angrily. “These cultivators have stood out, but they’ve missed the best time to cultivate. All of them are weak and have probably never even been on the battlefield. They have never faced fierce beasts and foreign races. It’s hard to be at ease when you’re relying on equipment forged by blacksmiths like them, who have no combat experience.”

In the surveillance room, everyone’s expressions were wooden as they listened to the big shots debate. It was as if they had suddenly become mannequins.

The two seven-star master blacksmiths had conflicting ideologies when it came to equipment manufacturing. Not to mention, there was the factional dispute between the transcendent system and the technology system that had recently spread within the a.s.sociation.

It looked like a peaceful debate, but who knew how far it would go in the future.

This was not something they should have heard, but now, it was being forced into their ears. They could not refuse to listen.

“Let’s go! Since this blueprint won’t be handed in for the time being, there’s no need to look at it. We’ll talk about it when it’s submitted.” Lin Xiangyun had found it surprising at first, but unexpectedly, nothing else happened beyond that.

“I wonder what Old Zhang and Old Liu are busy with. I haven’t seen them for the past two days. This is a mission arranged by the a.s.sociation. Can’t those two guys be more serious?”

“Ahem! Thanks to that incident, their relationship has been pretty tense. They refuse to come out and see each other, so they’re hiding in their rooms!”

When Gu Shan heard this, he immediately understood.

At the end of the day, it was still a battle between systems and ideals.

Of these two, Old Zhang supported the technology system, while Old Liu supported the transcendent system. During a meeting two days ago, the two of them had a huge argument. Their words were harsh, and they got close to fighting.

“Sigh! What’s going on?!”

…

It looked like Wu Mo had fallen asleep on the bed again after he finished his blueprint. In reality, his consciousness had entered the forging s.p.a.ce and begun the process of forging the underground shuttle with the help of virtual materials.

Ten days would be enough for him to forge the shuttle two or three times. It would become familiar enough to him after once and twice. The most difficult part was the first time. After that, he would be able to work faster and faster.

However, the job of a blacksmith was not all about carrying a hammer and forging. After Wu Mo reflected on it, he had a new understanding of the profession.

In the novels from his previous life, those in the same position were considered blacksmiths of a cultivation world.

After all, a true Divine weapon definitely did not only rely on materials. It also relied on even more profound extraordinary knowledge to support it.

The transcendent system had declined so much because there had been a lack of such extraordinary knowledge.

To forge a one-star Divine weapon of the lowest grade in the past, one just needed to insert the most basic array and completely fuse it with the materials. Even if the thing forged was trash, it would still be a one-star Divine weapon.

However, at present, this process had been replaced by modern technology. This caused the development and research of extraordinary arrays to lag behind. They could no longer keep up with the development of Divine weapons.

Although it seemed that technology could now replace arrays and restrictions, fuse with supernatural beings, and develop Divine weapons that belonged solely to human civilization, the development and research of Divine weapons had deviated from the original path. No one knew what would happen in the end.

The current equipment created by the fusion of technology and transcendent powers barely allowed humans to defend themselves. They could not deliver any counterattacks.

Every year, countless humans would be killed by the foreign races and beasts on the battlefield of Ten Thousand Races. This made many people anxious and dissatisfied.

This was also the real reason why conversation revolving around the two systems and ideals was growing tense.

After all, humans were still unable to gain enough strategic advantage after spending plenty of resources, time, and effort to create equipment. Instead, they were being killed by the foreign races from time to time. Anyone would be suspicious.

Therefore, Wu Mo used arrays to forge equipment. This way, it would be faster, and the equipment would be more powerful. Furthermore, there would be a lower failure rate, and the equipment would be more malleable.

The only drawback was that it could not be ma.s.s-produced.

Even if the same blacksmith used the same materials and techniques to forge two pieces of equipment, there would definitely be some differences.

This was due to the forging process, whether it was the smelting of materials, the timing of the formation, or the influence of various factors.

Even if Wu Mo had the Divine Forging s.p.a.ce, the equipment forged in there would not be exactly the same. He could only try to minimize the difference between them.

For example, Wu Mo had already forged a pair of boots that increased his speed. If he were to forge another pair now, this new pair might increase his speed by a little more because he was now familiar with its build.

It might seem like a small difference, but on the battlefield, it was the difference between life and death.

In the blink of an eye, three days pa.s.sed, and Wu Mo completed his first forging.

During this process, he made more than ten mistakes, corrected them, found the causes, and understood them. Finally, he forged the earth-burrowing shuttle that the Divine Blacksmith System simulated for him.

Wu Mo did not continue beyond that. Instead, he lay on the ground and fell asleep. He only woke up a day later.

On the fifth and sixth day, it only took him a day and a half to completely forge the underground shuttle. This time, there were no mistakes in the entire process.
