Chapter 2319 Spatial a.s.sembly
"Haha! Sure... Using a Dual yang Repulsing Array for melting metal would be "good" idea." Crown Princess Shang took it with a grain of salt, doubt clear in her eyes. But Lin Mu didn"t take it the same way.
"Oh, I already tried that." Lin Mu revealed.
"What!?" The trio almost choked on their own saliva hearing that.
"Yeah." Lin Mu nodded.
"When!?" Daoist Chu couldn"t help but ask. "Ten days ago." Lin Mu replied.
"How did we not know?" Ziran was stunned. "Surely something of that level would create ma.s.sive fluctuations." "Oh, I didn"t do it here." Lin Mu replied. "That would probably destroy the arrays here. I did it in a Spatial Pocket as a test with a smaller version of the Dual Yang Repulsing Array." He explained.
"Okay… that"s a bit more a.s.suring." Crown Princess Shang took a breath of relief.
"How did you make a small version of the Dual Yang Repulsing Array in that short of a time?" Daoist Chu couldn"t help but ask. "It took us days to make it." "Well, even calling it small is a bit of an overstatement." Lin Mu stated. "I basically used a makeshift furnace array and powered it with Xiao Yang"s Yang Immortal Qi.
It went as well as you might think… The Null Iron Ore simply disintegrated." He explained.
Lin Mu had been brainstorming a lot, and tried every non-conventional method he could think of. The Dual Yang Repulsing Array was certainly in the list due to how high of a power output it had.
But just because Null Iron Ore was durable didn"t mean it was indestructible. The power output of the Dual Yang Repulsing Array was simply too high and overwhelmed it, resulting in its disintegration.
"Can you lower the output?" Daoist Chu asked, but Lin Mu simply shook his head.
"It ends up turning into a Grand Furnace Array at that point." He spoke. "It would require a ma.s.sive investment to set up an array that could attenuate the Yang Qi"s output to that level."
"Coming back in a circle…" Ziran let out a sigh.
"So right now, we only have everyone"s contribution as an option." Lin Mu stated.
"I see," Ziran and Daoist Chu muttered.
While they couldn"t reach a solution, they couldn"t help but think that Lin Mu was quite suited to forging and refining. Not only were his formation skills top notch, which were one of the basic things needed for Immortal weapon and tool refinement, his other skills and affinities also worked in his favor.
Lin Mu was using his Dao Embryo"s ability to make the rock hammer he was using for tempering the Alloy Rod. This was perfect since anything else would eventually become deformed by the continuous. .h.i.tting.
Lin Mu could have also used something more durable, like the Null Iron Ore, which he had plenty off for this. He had already made use of it to make the large anvil in front of him, as it was very tough. But he still didn"t use it for the hammer.
The reason was that Lin Mu could not only repair it nonstop, he could also use the Aspect of Heaviness on it to multiply its weight. And by timing this correctly, Lin Mu could generate more force without needing to expert more of his strength.
He simply needed to multiply the weight at the last moment, and the hammer would hit with a hundred times the normal force. This wouldn"t be possible if he used a Null Iron Ore hammer. While it would be tough, it would not generate the same force.
While they were thinking this though, Crown Princess Shang"s eyes wandered to the workbench that was kept the furthest from the anvil. "What"re these?" Crown Princess Shang asked, pointing to two uniquely shaped crystals.
They looked to be shaped like pyramids, but instead of having flat sides, they were like pillars attaching to a frame. One could roughly call it a pyramid shaped "cage". Both of the crystals had the same shape, except that they were mirrored and of different colors.
"These are the "Curse Dampers" I"ve made." Lin Mu answered.
"Curse Dampers?" Ziran was intrigued.
"This looks to be… Misty Mirror Quartz." Daoist Chu recognized. "But what"s this?" he couldn"t tell what the second pyramid cage was.
"Clear Body Sapphire." Crown Princess Shang recognized them. "I have earrings made of them… Actually, these do look perfect to be earrings too." She found the shape a bit appealing.
Thankfully, Crown Princess Shang only saw the small structures Lin Mu had made from the Clear Body Sapphire and not the large rods he had cut out. If she knew, she would probably faint from the "irresponsible" use of it.
"Their effects are quite good against the curse, but their durability is lacking for the arrow." Lin Mu replied. "So I decided to change their structure a bit so that the durability will be just enough. It might not endure the impact, but it"ll at least endure the launch of the arrow." He explained.
"How would these fit, though?" Ziran asked, seeing the unique shape.
"Like this," Lin Mu picked the two pyramid cages and used Meld.
~SHUA~
The two cages floated in the air and disa.s.sembled into two parts each. They then came together before joining upon and completing the structure.
It now looked like two interlinking tetrahedrons without any cuts or joints in them.
The trio couldn"t help but be surprised, as this structure wasn"t something that could be made by anyone else. Only a Spatial Master would be able to "join" them without cutting them in anyway.
Doing it this way also meant that there were no weak points in the crystal, and the impact would be equal through both crystals. Not to mention, this also allowed Lin Mu to create socket points on the intersecting points of the structure.
On one side, Lin Mu could mold the shaft to fit perfectly while on the other side, the arrow tip could be locked in place by using Meld again.
