Chapter 150.1 New era of mechs
Editor: Jodi
“Master, Master, look at this.” Yan Hao, clutching the two wheel axles, ran to Old Pang as if flying, showing him where the two axles were connected.
“This is?” Old Pang squinted for a moment, “How did you weld these two axles together? No… the welding isn’t at this interface. How did you do this?”
“Master, I didn’t do anything.” Yan Hao told him.
“If you didn’t do anything then how did this black layer in the middle come about?”
“I also don’t know. They were fine in the afternoon; I just put them to the side casually and when I looked at them this evening, they were joined together. As for the black layer, I suspect the phantom spirit stone.” Yan Hao told him.
“The phantom spirit stone?” Old Pang took a pair of presbyopia glasses from a workbench, put them on, and then stared intently at the black substance for a long time. After a while, he said, “Xiao Hao, test the performance of these two axles.”
“Yes.” Yan Hao, also having had the same intention, immediately took the two axles for testing.
Half an hour later, the test data came out. The master and disciple stood in front of the instrument’s display, not moving for a long time.
“I’m not seeing things, right?” Old Pang asked in a somewhat dazed manner.
“Master, if the values you’re seeing are also abnormal, then I think you’re not seeing things.” Yan Hao told him.
Old Pang looked at his disciple, still somewhat disbelieving: “Could it be that we’ve worked too long that our eyes are playing tricks on us?”
“Then….. we should wash our faces and then look again?” Yan Hao was also a little unsure himself.
“Okay.” The master and disciple turned and went to the restroom, then after washing their faces with cold water, returned to the instrument, and then……
“F*cking hell!” The highly respected and venerable Old Pang, who hadn’t sworn in thirty years, burst into foul language.
Yan Hao, with his mouth open, had originally also wanted to shout something to express his excitement, but then suddenly hearing Old Pang swear, he was so scared that he forgot what he had wanted to say.
“The performance of the traditional axle has improved by 2%, and it’s an all-around improvement.” Old Pang, picking up the two connected axles from the testing table said as he pointed at the black connecting spot.
From the values obtained from the test just now, it was clear that this black layer that looked like a coating wasn’t made of phantom spirit stone; it was a new alloy formed from the fusion of the gold crystal stone and the phantom spirit stone. What’s more this new alloy could improve the performance of traditional axles in all aspects. Although the improvement was only 2% and the alloy had only fused to the outermost part of the parts, what if it could be fused in its entirety? What if all the parts of a mech were made of this alloy?
The more Old Pang thought about it, the more excited he became: “Xiao Hao, think carefully about how you caused them to produce this change.”
“I really don’t know.” Yan Hao was also confused.
“Think carefully. What were you doing before you put these two axles down? Don’t overlook even the smallest detail.” Old Pang urged.
Yan Hao nodded, his brows furrowing as he tried to remember: “At that time I was looking for the differences between the two axles, comparing their manufacturing process steps step by step, and then I used mental energy to analyze their internal structures. But apart from that I didn’t do much else.”
“I did all these as well, how come it didn’t result in it producing this alloy? No, there has to be another reason.” Old Pang said.
Yan Hao thought about it again but still shook his head.
“Then we can only do it all over again.” The two of them returned to the workshop where Old Pang handed Yan Hao a new part made from gold crystal stone. “Xiao Hao, just follow the previous steps and do it again.”
“En.” Then Yan Hao, copying the actions he had taken earlier, held a part made from phantom spirit stone in one hand and another made from gold crystal stone in the other and began to compare them step by step. And pulling up a chair, Old Pang sat right next to him, watching the entire time with unblinking eyes. The entire inspection process lasted twenty minutes, then Yan Hao withdrew his mental energy, then exchanging a glance with Old Pang, put the two parts next to each other.
The two of them stared at the parts lying together for half an hour, however the two parts remained undisturbed, showing no signs of fusing.
“Again.” Old Pang gave him another pair of parts.
When faced with something patternless, the only thing that could be done was to repeat the experiment.
