Everything Is Ready
Zhen Hua listened to Su Ming's method and fell into deep thought.
"Xiao Ming, doing it this way requires a high level of skill. Not only do you need to correctly Spirit Infusion and adjust it in real time, but you also need to consider the variables of the Soul Spirit."
"Develop it first. Successfully completing a Artificial Rare Metal might offer a different perspective. Then, we can go back and improve the previous techniques. This will be much more efficient. Otherwise, no matter how easy or excellent the initial modifications are, if they don't fit our subsequent content, they'll just be castles in the air, all show and no substance."
Zhen Hua nodded upon hearing this.
That statement is correct.
He also chose a Soul Spirit orb, the Soul Spirit inside of which was also made of Fire Element, and was a fire monkey.
He had almost complete control over the Fire Monkey, and even felt like he could crush it.
Compared to Su Ming, Zhen Hua's power is undoubtedly more aggressive, and the minor mistakes that Su Ming mentioned might not even exist for him.
At this moment, Mu Ye had already heated up a piece of ordinary iron for each of them.
"Teacher, let me try first."
Su Ming was the first to try.
Then, at the crucial moment of Forging, everything collapsed; the iron block shattered, and the Soul Spirit dissipated.
The Spirituality could not merge into the iron block!
This is a fatal problem.
After protecting Su Ming, Zhen Hua immediately gathered the iron block and the remaining Spirituality to sense its state.
His face was grave.
"As expected, Duo Duo problems than I imagined," he said. "This Soul Spirit ultimately lacks intelligence and cannot cooperate with our efforts to integrate into the metal."
Cooperate.
Not only must one refrain from moving things during the Forging process, but one must also have the will to encroach upon the metal structure; otherwise, the Blacksmith alone cannot achieve this.
Spirituality, that's something really special.
"Can it infiltrate the Spirituality of our Soul Spirit?"
Su Ming put forward his idea.
Hearing this, Mu Ye had something else to say.
"If that's the case, why not just strip away the characteristics of the external Soul Spirit, or even just a part of it? That way, this Artificial Spirit will still be alive, and you can continue to use it in the future. You can keep replicating it like this, which is equivalent to figuring out the Forging technique of a template. If you succeed once, you can use it indefinitely."
Mu Ye's words touched Su Ming.
The same applies to Zhen Hua.
When they conceived the idea of using Artificial Spirit to create Artificial Rare Metal, they subconsciously felt that they were incorporating the entire Artificial Spirit into it.
Because the Artificial Spirit they understood were too weak. Like the two Soul Spirit they had just used, they were both at the ten-year level and their structures were fragile. Without the environment provided by the Soul Spirit orb, they would die within three days.
They don't even have the ability to survive on their own.
Such a tiny Soul Spirit is naturally a disposable item.
However, Mu Ye has now torn open this subconscious within them.
"Going back to the basics, our initial need was simply for specific characteristics, and the experiment with Artificial Spirit was precisely for Soul Spirit characteristics."
"In that case, we must proceed step by step. Let's try using our Soul Spirit first. By imbuing Ordinary Metal with Spirituality and special properties using our Soul Spirit, and finding this method, we can then try using Artificial Spirit to replace our Soul Spirit."
Upon hearing Zhen Hua's words, Su Ming gave a wry smile.
"Xiao Ming, what's wrong?"
"Teacher, I suddenly realized that imbuing metal with certain properties—isn't this similar to the inheritance of metal-imbuing techniques in Soul Forging? Is the technology we envisioned for Artificial Rare Metal at the Saint Craftsman- level?"
Zhen Hua was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.
Yes, of course it's the skill level of Saint Craftsman.
"Oh right, Xiao Ming, you're only Level 6 Blacksmith."
Su Ming blinked, somewhat speechless.
"It's absolutely impossible for you to attempt Soul Forging right now. The basic requirements for Soul Forging are too high. Not only do you have to compress the entire Spiritual Forging Fusion Forging process, which currently takes several hours, into less than an hour, but you also have to spend at least ten times that time imbuing the metal with its inheritance. Even with your foundation, you would need at least Soul King to even attempt it, and you would also need One-word Battle Armor."
"However, you can dabble in this Artificial Rare Metal, because the losses aren't that high. You can use it as a warm-up for your Soul Forging."
Zhen Hua said that Su Ming should stay and participate in the subsequent research.
At the same time, he realized the problem and changed the focus of the research, taking the lead himself.
[Dou Er]
"This is the Forging principle of my Plane."
Electrolux spent three days teaching Su Ming before he could clearly explain the Forging concepts of the Holy Demon Continent to Su Ming.
Su Ming covered his head, indicating that he couldn't digest it in a short time.
The Forging on both sides are fundamentally different, and he was greatly impacted, needing time to gradually accept them.
"Haha, it's okay if you don't understand. Just keep developing your project, and I'll point out any problems you encounter."
"Thank you, Elder Yi."
Dou Er Dou San, two Su Ming, plus two external brains, to develop a brand-new Forging technology.
This is Su Ming's advantage: he combines the wisdom of people from different eras.
He used to be a mere conveyor of knowledge, but now he's slowly starting to explore the field of developing new knowledge.
This is progress.
Not only Electrolux and the others, Su Ming also thought of Xuan Ziwen, and the Sword Maniac Ji Juechen.
These are all talents that he can utilize across time and space.
"Phew, it's been half a month since we started developing the Forging, and we're still stuck."
The Spirituality and characteristics of one's own Soul Spirit are integrated into the metal to create Artificial Rare Metal. No problem, this technology has been mastered.
But how do we then utilize these external properties to integrate them into the metal?
Su Ming from Dou San is stuck in a bottleneck, and Zhen Hua also needs to keep trying and making mistakes.
Su Ming from Dou Er didn't have any materials; he simply raised the question and discussed it theoretically with Electrolux.
Let's find a batch of materials with these properties first.
Su Ming finally emerged from seclusion.
After clearing customs, he saw Su Can's message and rushed towards Su Can's research institute.
"Grandpa, is the Blacksmith Association branch completed?"
"We're just waiting for you to return to your positions as guild leader and branch Sect Master."
Su Can stated that the family had resolved all the trivial matters, and now the association's branch had been established and was recruiting Blacksmith. Ten members had already joined the association and passed the Su Family's assessment, expressing their willingness to delve deeper into Forging.
The Body Sect sects of the Original Sect have also been established.
It's not that the Su Family is highly efficient, but rather that establishing a branch of the Body Sect is very simple; all you need to do is gather the necessary people.
No fixed mountain gate is needed; as long as there is a fixed place to stay, the Body Sect exists and serves as the spiritual anchor for all Body Sect disciples.
"The Body Soul Master were taken to Snow Demon Mountain by your teacher for training a few years ago have all been brought back to our Su Family. There are also some Soul Master with Body Martial Soul we hadn't discovered before, who have grown up independently, and we've recruited them as well. In total, there are twenty-seven of them. In addition, we've also identified eight Shrek Academy spies. How to deal with them is up to you."
