Chapter 4642 — The Automatic Forging Mechanism

"Huh? I... I was just saying it on Jingjing's behalf!" Ning Xuefei flushed crimson at once. She stole a glance at Wei Zhao, and seeing him studying the dark iron box thoughtfully, she let out an unconscious sigh of relief.
Han Jingyi stood by with a smile and said nothing, while Wei Zhao looked back and forth at the box's internal structure. After a moment's pondering he said, "Is this thing used for forging?"
After all, having run with Scrap King for so long, Wei Zhao counted as a half-trained forger at least, and his understanding of the forging craft ran far deeper than a layman's. Though the function of every component in the dark iron box was a mystery to him, he could roughly make out a few structures resembling a forging pool. He had seen such things in Scrap King's secret base, after all—only the shapes were somewhat different.
"Forging?" Shangguan Lan'er was stunned. She looked the dark iron box over again, still utterly baffled. She could not see what this thing had to do with forging. Every forger under heaven needed a uniquely endowed forging environment, along with a whole array of forging facilities—whoever heard of putting it all directly into a dark iron box?
"Hehe, Brother Wei Zhao is so clever—this is an automatic forging mechanism!" Han Jingyi admitted with a laugh.
"All right, so you do have some eye for it. Our pains weren't wasted after all," Ning Xuefei nodded in agreement.
"So it really is..." Even with a definite answer, Wei Zhao still found it somewhat incredible. Such a forging apparatus was absolutely unprecedented—even Scrap King would probably have his jaw drop at the sight. What Han Jingyi said next astonished him even more: "Wait—Jingjing, you're saying this is an automatic forging mechanism?"
"That's right! You just set the forging formula in advance, put in the corresponding materials, and then all anyone has to do is keep watch and make a few minor adjustments as needed. Everything else is precisely controlled by the machine itself—it's even simpler to operate than the Divine Farmer's Cauldron," Han Jingyi said with a giggle.
Wei Zhao's eyes lit up at these words. Thinking of Scrap King's current predicament, he quickly asked, "Can it precisely control the heat?"
"Of course it can—controlling heat is the bare minimum! Our automatic forging mechanism can precisely control a whole range of environmental factors, from air pressure to humidity. Only that way can we guarantee the forging process is foolproof. Well? Aren't we impressive?" Ning Xuefei tilted her head back smugly.
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Now that problem can finally be solved!" Wei Zhao was both astonished and overjoyed.
That weapon of his had never been able to take shape, and Scrap King had spent nearly two years without finding a solution. Who would have thought Han Jingyi and Ning Xuefei had built an automatic forging mechanism like this—it was practically tailor-made for the task! No wonder they said it could help him!
