Chapter 1033
In the hands of an expert swordsman, the blade alone could slice through a 30-centimeter-thick homogeneous steel plate. Ordinary armored personnel carriers and mutant creatures were as fragile as paper under their blades.
As a close-range weapon, Song You has an urgent need for this.
Of course, he has been imitating Shen Bei's fighting style. He hopes that he will not change weapons next time, otherwise the remaining money he has will not be enough to keep him busy.
Song You didn't rush into choosing a sword. All the sword blanks were marked with the names of the shapers who forged them. He wanted to observe the craftsmanship of these shapers before making a choice.
To be frank, not every shape-shaping person can maintain the same level.
The same sniper rifle, when you give it to Shen Bei and when someone else uses it, will produce two completely different kinds of suppressive power.
After observing for a while, Song You became dazed.
Suddenly he found a familiar name and took another look to make sure he was not mistaken.
Chen Yihang.
This name is not well-known and almost no one has even heard of it.
But Song You vaguely remembered that Shen Bei mentioned it. This was another name of the director and leader of the institute, Chen Anzhi.
Good guy.
The corner of Song You's mouth twitched. He didn't even dare to use his real name?
Afraid of embarrassment?
Song You touched his chin and thought for a while. He must have been wrong. It was not that Chen Anzhi did not use his real name, but that he used his real name. For those with special abilities who needed weapons, could they find other shapers to forge weapons?
They must be looking for Chen Anzhi.
Then he doesn't have to do anything else. He has to work all day long and be covered in sweat, which is obviously not in line with the identity of a leader.
But Chen Anzhi probably felt itchy sometimes and wanted to try his hand at forging sword blanks, pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, hiding behind and offering good swords to those who were gambling with swords, and enjoying himself secretly.
Song You looked around and recognized Chen Anzhi among the many people with shape-shaping abilities.
Shen Bei once described Chen Anzhi's appearance, saying that he had a black mole at the corner of his eyebrow.
Now he is still hiding in the workshop, wearing work clothes, his face is dark from smoke, and you can't tell who he is without looking carefully.
It was only when Chen Anzhi wiped his face that the mole was revealed, and that was when Song You discovered it.
Chen Anzhi was now covered in sweat and grease, wearing a fireproof apron. He was squeezed into a corner and hammering a bearing cut from a scrap car site with an old power hammer.
Song You walked over and saw that after folding and forging for a period of time, he would evenly sprinkle borax on the bearing that had turned into a steel block and put it back into the gas furnace to heat it.
The consumption of borax by the shaper is very large. During forging, it can clean impurities, assist in fitting gaps, and prevent dust from being trapped.
Because the bearings are exposed to uneven radiation in the wasteland, the distribution of the mutated metal within them is also uneven. Multiple folding and forging processes are required to evenly distribute the mutated metal throughout the entire steel block.
However, the number of high-temperature castings that the mutant metal can withstand is limited.
This was a real test of the Shaper's experience; how to fuse the various mutated metals within a single block of steel into one cohesive whole within the shortest possible number of folding and forging strokes. Mastering this was the key to the difference between one weapon and another.
All the people with the ability to shape their bodies work as ironworkers in workshops, but they are not afraid of having their skills stolen by others. This is because as a person with the ability to shape their bodies, their greatest skill lies in their eyes.
During this time, several people gambled on a sword blank, but all of them failed. However, Song You didn't even glance over. He squatted next to Chen Anzhi and watched him process the steel.
After a long time, no one succeeded in opening a good sword, and the enthusiasm of the onlookers began to fade, and the sword gambling stall became empty.
