nChapter 262: A Hundred a Day

nRoams was surprised. He had indeed forged the sword with the meteorite core pieces.

nHimmel Soan was going to throw away the pieces after draining their energy. On second thought, he felt maybe Roams could make something out of them. Hence, he gave over a thousand drained pieces to him.

nHe didn’t expect Roams to forge a sword so fast.

nThe energy the sword contained even surprised Himmel Soan. A mortal man could build a sword that could exert the power of a cultivator. That was the miracle of science.

nHowever, it only made Himmel Soan’s eyes light up a little. He admitted technology had much potential. However, it came with a price.

nIt was the same as the space cannon. Building one space cannon had cost so many materials and manpower. The space cannon was an expensive project.

nWhat if they could use supernatural power?

nIf Himmel Soan had recovered to his current state back then, he could have crushed the meteorite with his bare fist.

nIt was something science couldn’t compare to, but it had its own merits. For instance, with that sword, Roams could easily defeat a cultivator of the Essence Refinement Stage. If he could build a set of armor in the same way, maybe he could withstand a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

nOf course, ordinary people’s physical bodies were too fragile. Roams could barely pick up the sword. When he tried to strike Himmel Soan just then, he was stumbling and trembling from head to toe.

nAfter he missed the target, he didn’t have any strength to pick up that sword again.

n“Nice sword!” Himmel Soan complimented.

nRoams felt uplifted when he heard those words and jumped to his feet. “No, that’s not good enough! I’ve made it as lightweight as possible, but it’s still too heavy for me. It’ll be great if I can forge a sword everybody can pick up!”

nHimmel Soan nodded. If he really could do that, the sword could become the three division’s issued weapon.

nRight now, most of the members were fighting with their bare hands. Very few of them had a sword. An iron sword was more like a decoration to them. It would break after a few strikes.

nMoreover, they couldn’t inject an iron sword with spiritual essence. Ordinary material couldn’t withstand that kind of power. It was like how one couldn’t hold up a chunk of iron with a paper boat.

nThe sword Roams built was suitable for cultivators.

n“How many meteorite core pieces did you use to forge this sword?” Himmel Soan asked.

nThose pieces were non-renewable materials. Once they ran out, it would be extremely difficult to find more. Therefore, they were very precious. But only for Roams.

nHimmel Soan didn’t care much about the pieces because he had already absorbed their energy. There was hardly anything left. To him, they weren’t much different from ordinary stones.

nHe had asked Drake to bring back the pieces mainly to see what Roams could come up with. If he couldn’t figure anything out, they could be thrown away as ordinary stones.

nTogether, they contained the energy of a planet. Even after Himmel Soan had drained the energy, they still had some research value.

nThe meteorite core was the energy source of a planet since its creation. It was similar to the heart of the volcano and the desert spirit.

nThe meteorite core worked the same way. It also represented the property level of a planet. The larger the meteorite core, the more civilized the planet and vice versa.

nJudging by the pieces, Himmel Soan concluded that Mars used to have a civilization at least as prosperous as Earth.

n“Well, I wasted two pieces at first to experiment on them. Then I used four pieces to forge this sword. But that was only the first sword. If I do it again, I’ll only need four pieces!

n“And I can improve. With practice, I should be able to reduce the number to three!” Roams rubbed his chin and contemplated.

nIt was just like what he said. If he were given another chance, he wouldn’t need more than four pieces.

nHe was already calculating in his mind. When and where should he add the pieces?

nHe would need to figure out all those details.

nIf other people were doing this job, they would need to experiment over and over again before they could calculate in their heads. But Roams didn’t need that. He only needed to try it once before he could make the deduction.

nHimmel Soan was a little surprised to hear the answer. A sword only needed six pieces!

nNo, Roams could make it to three. Three pieces could forge such a formidable iron sword.

nAnyhow, Himmel Soan was glad he hadn’t thrown away the pieces. Although they didn’t contain any energy, they weren’t useless.

nHe had thought it would take over a dozen pieces to forge such a sword. If that were the case, maybe they wouldn’t have enough pieces.

nThere were only over a thousand pieces in total. If each sword cost a dozen of them, they could only make fewer than a hundred.

n“Great. Use your method and build a hundred swords. How long do you need?” Himmel Soan asked.

nThe swords could increase the three division’s power significantly. But that wasn’t his main purpose. He wanted to forge the iron swords because he wanted to train some capable fighters.

nTo keep the world in a united state, they would need a formidable army.
