Doomsday Code

Chapter 88 The Wand Takes Shape

Looking at the detailed process steps and material formulas recorded on the drawings, Chen Cheng was filled with regret.

It took him an unknown amount of forging materials to finally come up with this blueprint.

Every precaution and measurement noted here is the result of everything he has learned and learned over the past few months.

Now it is time to accept the drawing, but we don’t know whether the data obtained indirectly will have errors or omissions.

But according to his calculations, this shouldn't be a big problem.

Then Chen Cheng began to forge it.

Chen Cheng arranged the arc-shaped forging plates in order. When he put down the last forging plate, the entire forging plate connected into one piece and emitted an arc of light. Then, the seemingly loose forging plate formed a circular forging furnace.

Chen Cheng was surprised when he first saw this kind of furnace, but after careful study, he found that this thing is actually similar to an electric furnace. The heating and melting methods of both are not based on traditional flames but on the heat generated by energy passing through the pathway.

However, the high temperature that this magic forging furnace can generate is much higher than that of an electric furnace, and its service life is also much longer.

Chen Cheng was excited for a long time after making this discovery. He thought that someone in this world knew the electrocaloric effect and used it to make a similar furnace.

However, in the end, Chen Cheng thought too much. This arc-shaped magic furnace that looked very high-tech came from the Dwarf City. The Dwarf's forging master directly modified the heating furnace into this shape in order to make it easier to carry the furnace.

Although he felt a little disappointed when he learned the truth, this was also the first time he heard about intelligent races other than humans from other people.

Moreover, the setting of the dwarves in this world is really similar to some Western fantasy novels he had read in his previous life, and the dwarves in them are all forging masters.

To be honest, he really had an illusion at that time that he had traveled to a Western fantasy book that he was unfamiliar with.

However, what he knew and learned over the years told him that this was impossible. It had nothing to do with the grandfather paradox, but the fact that the energy level required to allow people to travel through time was too high.

At least he needs to be able to reach superluminal speed, and this is still the most basic. The rest include breaking through the black time barrier and other difficult problems.

I'm afraid it would be impossible to do it even if all the energy of the earth is consumed, and at the same time, bring his memories intact to this world.

That would require twice the energy required to travel through time and space to protect his memory.

Of course, as to why he was reborn with his memories, the only explanation Chen Cheng could get was that he was a super lucky man.

After his death, all the elementary particles that made up and stored his memories were reassembled in his current body according to their original appearance in his previous life.

Moreover, there is not a single error or omission among these countless particles, and they all form the memory storage neurons in his brain. His own bioelectricity is also in sync with his previous life.

Of course, Chen Cheng knew that the probability was as small as finding a unique grain of dust on a ball in the entire Milky Way. And it was precisely because of such a small probability that Chen Cheng believed from the beginning to the end that this was a gift from God to him.

Chen Cheng carefully supplied magic energy to the forging furnace. Slowly, the arc light produced by the previous merger reappeared and began to gather inside the furnace.

Chen Cheng, who was standing nearby, could feel the high temperature coming from the forging furnace.

Not until Chen Cheng lit up all the patterns on the forging furnace wall did the temperature inside the entire forging furnace quickly rise to thousands of degrees.

At this time, a layer of magical heat insulation field was activated, and all the heat was quickly confined in the forging furnace.

Seeing that it had reached the temperature he required, Chen Cheng threw the mithril needed for forging into it.

The mithril, which has excellent ductility, showed its extremely high melting point at this moment. Even though the temperature in the entire forging furnace has reached thousands of degrees, the mithril still maintains a solid silver-white color.

Chen Cheng also knew that this was one of the greatest properties of mithril. The atomic bonds within this metal were very strong, and its superconductivity also allowed it to instantly conduct away the heat generated by the outside world and the inside.

This is also the reason why Chen Cheng used fire to burn his sword in the mountains, but in the end he didn't even feel the heat.

Therefore, using traditional flame forging will not have any effect on forging mithril. According to Chen Cheng's research, this forging furnace's ability to melt mithril does not rely on the temperature inside.

Instead, it is the internal energy shock waves it produces on the material in the furnace that forcefully and briefly break up the mithril atomic bonds for a moment, and then the mithril will be rapidly melted by the high temperature.

The mithril in the furnace was just as he had seen several times before. It was originally solid, but it turned directly from solid to liquid in an instant.

Chen Cheng also seized the opportunity and quickly invested the remaining materials, because only at this time would those materials have a chance to fuse with mithril.

Watch the material melt quickly and then merge with the mithril under the shock wave, and this is when the key moment comes.

He needs to control the output of magic energy and adjust the frequency of the shock wave, because different materials require different vibration frequencies when fused with mithril.

And the faster the fusion process is, the better, because the melting frequency of mithril is very high, so if the frequency is reduced, it will solidify quickly.

This is also the reason why Chen Cheng threw all the materials into the furnace.

Under his meticulous control, those materials quickly merged with the mithril, and after they were fused into one, Chen Cheng quickly increased the output of magic energy, raised the frequency, and then quickly melted the fused mithril again to allow the materials to fully merge with the mithril.

But this time is very short. After only a moment of melting, Chen Cheng must seize the opportunity to allow the mithril to cool and solidify quickly.

Otherwise, certain properties of the materials he invested would become waste in an instant because they lost their original molecular arrangement.

This forging method is a new one that Chen Cheng came up with after many experiments. This method can greatly reduce the scrap rate of the final product, and he has also experimented with it many times on ordinary magic artifacts.

At this time, a clamp and a hammer appeared in Chen Cheng's hands. The moment the material inside was fused and turned into liquid, Chen Cheng put the clamp into the furnace, and then at the moment of cooling, he quickly took out the fusion body that was fused together and turned into a semi-solid state.

The reason for this situation is that the fusion of different materials has stabilized the atomic bonds of some mithril parts, and the blacksmith has to take advantage of this opportunity to start forging and shaping, and engrave the required magic patterns on it.

The taken out fusion did not release very hot temperature, and Chen Cheng took this opportunity to start shaping it.

Under his rapid hammering, the fusion mass quickly stretched and deformed, and then a black stick about twenty centimeters long was formed, which was slightly thicker at one end and thinner at the other.

Just when the stick was about to solidify, Chen Cheng quickly put it back into the furnace.

The purpose of doing this is to keep the object in a semi-solid state, because only in this way can the required magic patterns be engraved on it.

After completing this step, Chen Cheng has completed half of the forging. The next step is to engrave the magic patterns he needs on it, and the workload will be huge.

Two days passed, and during these two days, apart from the necessary rest, meals and personal hygiene, Chen Cheng was engraving magic patterns on the small stick forged for him.

A strong magical wave spread out from the cottage where Chen Cheng was and spread to the entire town of Kekeber. At this time, everyone in the town who came into contact with magic could feel this magical wave.

"It finally took shape."

Chen Cheng laughed out loud while holding his dark gold and silver stick.

At this time, this short stick was engraved with many tiny magic patterns, especially the thick end held by Chen Cheng. The fine magic patterns on it were directly combined into an exquisite decorative pattern.

Soon, Finier came to him. These few days, Finier had been wondering when he would be able to complete the forging of this magic item. As soon as the fluctuation appeared, she came to the outside of Chen Cheng's house.

Following behind her was Baron Keckber.

He also learned a little about Chen Cheng's learning of forging from Finier, and knew that Chen Cheng had only been learning by looking at the blueprints for a few months.

He had also witnessed Chen Cheng's talent in magic, but this time he actually saw Chen Cheng forge a magic item of excellent quality in just three days, which really shocked him.

When Finier saw that the magic item in Chen Cheng's hand was just a short stick, she couldn't help but be surprised:

"Brown, is this all you have managed to create in these three days? I think it's too short. It's not even the length of a wand, and it's too short to be used as a weapon."

Finnel took out her wand, which was a head taller than her, and compared it with Chen Cheng's.

Chen Cheng was also happy. After all, he was lucky this time. He actually created his own magic item in one go, and the quality was not low.

He said to Finier with some excitement:

"Don't be fooled by its small size. This is a real magic wand."

When Chen Cheng created this kind of wand, he was reminded of the movie "Harry Potter" he saw in his previous life. The magic wands of the wizards in the movie were very short and sturdy.

Moreover, Chen Cheng chose this type of wand because the wands in this world are too long. The shortest is more than one and a half meters, and some are longer than two meters.

If a magician has not learned basic space magic, carrying such a wand would be very eye-catching.

For example, Finnel's wand is 1.6 meters long. Every time I see Finnel pick up her wand, it looks like a child's crutch, long and ugly.

This short magic wand not only saves materials but is also easy to carry and hide. When you encounter unfamiliar enemies, they generally cannot guess whether you are a magician or not, so you can use this short magic wand to launch a sneak attack on them.

Chen Cheng showed Finier the benefits of this short magic wand, and then said:

"And I also engraved some simple space magic on the extra parts. For example, I can shrink it to the size of a needle and stick it directly on clothes as a decoration."

As he spoke, Chen Cheng demonstrated it to Finier, and the next moment, the ugly-looking magic wand shrank to the size of a needle.

The size and the magic patterns on it actually give people a unique sense of beauty. It is a very beautiful decoration when inserted on the collar, and can also confuse the enemy.
