Tungsten Alloy and Titanium Alloy

Hearing this, not only was Wu Ming astonished, but Ruan Qingzhu beside him was also utterly stunned. Clearly, she had not known her mother's true identity either.

Miao Yueling looked apologetic. "Sorry, Xiao Ming. Due to confidentiality requirements, I hope you won't spread word of my identity."

"Don't worry, Aunt Miao." Wu Ming came back to his senses and said solemnly, "I promise I won't tell anyone."

He naturally understood Miao Yueling's concerns.

Aerospace materials were a key national research project. Who would have thought that a researcher capable of making major contributions in this field came from such an obscure little factory?

Once her identity was exposed, the Ruan family would most likely be plagued by trouble and might even face security risks.

Miao Yueling nodded gently. Naturally, she trusted Wu Ming's character. Then she smiled. "All right, tell me what you need. What kind of weapon do you want to forge? That way, I can select suitable materials for you."

"Okay." Wu Ming took out the notebook he carried with him. "I've already come up with some ideas for these weapons. Please take a look, Aunt Miao."

Miao Yueling accepted the notebook and saw the sketch inside. She immediately gave a soft cry of surprise. "This is a warblade? But the specifications you designed... are you sure you didn't write them wrong?"

Hearing that, Ruan Zaixing grew curious as well. He leaned over for a look and immediately exclaimed, "What the hell? A one-hundred-kilogram warblade? And you want to use it in actual combat? Are you sure you can swing it?"

"I'm sure." Wu Ming nodded and explained, "The strength in one of my arms has already exceeded 2,500 kilograms. If the weapon is too light, it'll actually be harder to use properly."

"Since it's a two-handed blade, one hundred kilograms is just right for me."

"2,500 kilograms with one arm?" Ruan Zaixing swallowed, recalling how proud he had been of his 300-kilogram bench press earlier. He could not help feeling a little embarrassed.

So he changed the subject. "All right, then you really do need something that heavy... Yueling, can it be done?"

"There is a way, but it isn't very realistic." Miao Yueling shook her head. "For a warblade one and a half meters long, you can only use high-density metals, such as Blue Gold excavated from the moon."

"But that's impossible. Blue Gold is difficult to mine, and global reserves are extremely limited. The factory's supply was purchased from the state and is only enough for experiments. It is far from enough to forge a warblade."

"The method I can think of is... replacing it with Tungsten-Blue Alloy, an alloy of tungsten and Blue Gold, with some high-density substances mixed into it to increase the weight."

Miao Yueling said, "That way, although the warblade's quality will be inferior to pure Blue Gold, it will still be enough to handle most battles."

"Tungsten-Blue Alloy?" Wu Ming asked, "Aunt Miao, how much impact force can a warblade made of that alloy withstand?"

"At least 150,000 kilograms without any issue."

Miao Yueling said, "Beyond that, it may be damaged. If the impact exceeds 250,000 kilograms, the warblade could break."

"250,000 kilograms?"

Wu Ming drew in a light breath. The result far exceeded his expectations.

Before Kro Alloy appeared, he had thought current technology could not possibly create a weapon of this level. He had not expected Miao Yueling to give him such a huge surprise.

250,000 kilograms. The threshold for a High-Level Warlord was only 256,000 kilograms.

If those figures were accurate, then Tungsten-Blue Alloy was already no weaker than the Level 8 Kro Alloy from novels.

If forged into a warblade, even accounting for the effects of exertion, it could absolutely serve as the primary combat weapon of an entry-level Warlord.

Wu Ming was extremely glad that he had met Ruan Qingzhu's family. Otherwise, where could he have found such formidable materials?

"Let's go with this plan for the warblade." He nodded quickly. "By the way, Aunt Miao, there are plans for other weapons later on. Please help advise me on those as well."

"There are more?" Miao Yueling was somewhat puzzled. She turned to the next page of the notebook and froze.

Several seconds passed before she suddenly looked up, her gaze blazing as she stared at Wu Ming. "This is... a Flying Sword?"

"More accurately, it's a Psychic Weapon."

Wu Ming smiled faintly. "Like in the movies, using Spiritual Force to control objects and attack enemies, even flying through the air by controlling objects."

As he spoke, without waiting for the others to react, he immediately activated his Spiritual Force. All the fitness equipment in the room floated into the air and danced through the air, drawing repeated cries of astonishment.

Ruan Qingzhu's eyes shone with wonder as she gazed longingly at the scene.

After all, as a young person, compared to physical strength, Spiritual Force better matched her expectations of superpowers.

"Great Sage, please put away your divine powers!"

Ruan Zaixing, on the other hand, had turned pale with fright. He hurriedly waved his hands, terrified that something might accidentally knock into him and leave him covered in bruises.

At that, Wu Ming returned the equipment to its original positions and smiled slightly. "This is the power of Spiritual Force. Since it can't act directly on the human body, I can only control weapons to fight."

"I see." Miao Yueling nodded softly. "No wonder your Flying Sword design is so unusual. Both ends are sharp, so it can attack from either direction. The edges are sharp as well, allowing it to cut. It really is highly suitable for Psychic Weapon use."

"I see that you didn't write the Flying Sword's specifications in enough detail. Do you have any specific requirements for its size and weight?"

"I don't know much about the specifications of metal materials, so I didn't write any." Wu Ming said, "As for size, each Flying Sword only needs to be around twenty centimeters long. As for weight, the lighter the better, but the material strength absolutely cannot be low."

"My current maximum impact force when controlling objects with Spiritual Force is around 3,400 kilograms, and it will be higher in the future. It would be best if the Flying Swords could withstand more than 100,000 kilograms of impact."

"Also, I can't forge just one Flying Sword. Ten at minimum, along with a Sword Case to carry them..."

Since both ends of the Flying Swords were extremely sharp, they naturally could not be carried in a pants pocket like throwing knives. He needed a suitable Sword Case to hold them without affecting the weapons' deployment or return.

Wu Ming became interested and laid out numerous ideas, making Miao Yueling's head ache.

She was only a materials science expert. She could not say she knew nothing about the performance of cold weapons, but she was definitely a complete outsider.

"All right, I don't understand whether weapon designs are good or bad. I can only offer suggestions regarding materials."

Miao Yueling smiled helplessly and had no choice but to interrupt. "Based on your ideas, I suggest using Titanium Alloy as the primary material. This happens to be the field I've focused on in recent years."

"After several years of work, I've already achieved three major breakthroughs in Titanium Alloy research, known as Alloy No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3."

"Alloy No. 1 is the Titanium-Aluminum Alloy I developed first. Its advantage is that it is the lightest and has some heat resistance, but its impact resistance is inferior to the other two."

"Alloy No. 2 is called Titanium-Steel Alloy. Compared with No. 1, it is slightly heavier and has lower heat resistance, but its impact resistance is stronger."

"However, compared to the first two, I still recommend Alloy No. 3 as your forging material."

After a pause, Miao Yueling said solemnly, "Alloy No. 3 is called Titanium-Blue Alloy. It is mainly composed of titanium and Blue Gold. Not only does it retain the advantage of being lightweight, its impact resistance is also absurdly high."

"Its only drawback is that Blue Gold is a metal that does not exist on Earth. Every country has only studied its surface properties, and no one knows whether there are hidden risks within it. That will require time to verify."

"Unlike the warblade, if you want your Titanium Alloy Flying Swords to maintain high strength, you will inevitably have to increase the proportion of Blue Gold. That may bring unknown risks, so I hope you'll consider it carefully."

"If you're worried about the risks, you can choose Titanium-Steel Alloy, whose performance is noticeably worse. Still, it won't easily shatter under impacts of several tens of thousands of kilograms."

"There's no need to consider it, Aunt Miao." Wu Ming did not hesitate. "I choose No. 3, Titanium-Blue Alloy!"
