Dawn of a New Era-Chapter 487 - 461: Rough Forging

Bought a carload of New Year’s goods and just got home.

The phone rang immediately.

Chen Shouyi picked up the phone: "Hello, I’m Chen Shouyi."

"What? The rough prototype is already completed."

"Alright, I’ll come over to take a look this afternoon."

"I’ll be there around one in the afternoon!"

Chen Shouyi said a few words, hung up the phone with an excited look on his face.

"Brother, who was that on the phone?" Chen Xingyue asked curiously.

Chen Shouyi originally wanted to say none of your business,

but thinking that his sister had been behaving quite well recently, he held back and said, "A heavy machinery factory. I asked someone to make something for me."

Chen Xingyue lost interest upon hearing this and instead asked persistently, "Brother, what is the legendary like?"

The legendary level certificate had already been issued.

Recently, the newspapers in Hedong City featured several promotions, almost everyone knows about it.

"You’re still far from that," Chen Shouyi glanced at her and said indifferently.

He knew that as his sister’s strength grew rapidly, almost reaching a quasi-martial artist level, it inevitably inflated her mindset a bit.

Alas, some people just have a good brother!

He didn’t have such fortune and could only rely on himself.

"Please, brother, let me take a look!" Chen Xingyue said, employing her irresistible charm.

"You want to see it? Come over here!" Chen Shouyi couldn’t help but smile.

Let you see what true terror and despair are when facing a true powerhouse, a quasi-martial artist is nothing.

Soon, the two of them came to the courtyard, and Chen Shouyi said, "Watch closely!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his aura erupted, an oppressive presence like a fierce beast spread out, at the same time his body became a blur, and the surrounding air twisted.

In an instant, all the hair on Chen Xingyue’s body stood on end, her muscles tensed, her body stiffened, unable to move, as if facing the top of the food chain, she could sense death was just ahead.

The aura of a legendary powerhouse naturally couldn’t compare to divine power, but it wasn’t something an ordinary person could withstand.

If it were Qin Liuyuan, a battle-hardened quasi-martial artist, he might resist this aura, but a little girl who hadn’t been through much, could barely keep her composure, which was already considered strong.

Of course, the outcome wouldn’t be any different.

In front of a tiger, whether you’re a sheep or a wolf doesn’t make any difference.

As Chen Shouyi restrained his aura, Chen Xingyue swayed, her feet softening like she’s stepping on clouds, nearly collapsing to the ground.

"Are you alright?" Chen Shouyi blurred over, quickly holding his sister’s arm, worried.

Hope she doesn’t get any lasting trauma!

"No... Brother, I’m fine!" Chen Xingyue quickly said, a hint of fear flashed in her eyes when she looked at Chen Shouyi.

The brother who always seemed harmless, unexpectedly when he got serious, appeared so terrifying and frightening.

Thinking about it, it makes sense.

The strongest in Jiangnan Province, a legendary martial artist, how could he really be so harmless?

It’s just that she was used to it.

He’s her brother, no matter how powerful, he’s still her brother, someone she’s seen growing up.

Even though he’s become a legendary powerhouse, aside from the initial surprise, she didn’t have much of an idea, never realizing he’s already one of humanity’s top powerhouses.

"Really okay?" Chen Shouyi looked at the dazed Chen Xingyue, waving two fingers in front of her eyes: "How many is this?"

Chen Xingyue rolled her eyes in annoyance and pushed his hand away.

What a big idiot!

The fear she had of her brother had completely vanished without a trace.

...

After having lunch.

Chen Shouyi rode a bicycle to Jiangnan’s first heavy machinery factory.

By the time he arrived at the factory entrance, a group of people was already outside to welcome him.

"Welcome, General Manager Chen."

"Hello, Director Zhao."

After some pleasantries.

The group walked into a huge factory.

The noise was deafening, and the heat waves rolled, the ground shook continuously.

Red-hot steel, under the relentless pounding of the giant hydraulic forging machine, sparks flew, deforming like clay.

"General Manager Chen, the metal you provided has unbelievable physical properties. We deployed a fifty thousand ton press to shape it little by little, finally forming the rough prototype today," said Director Zhao, who accompanied them, a middle-aged man in work clothes and a helmet with a smile.

"It’s really troubling Director Zhao, please put more effort into it," Chen Shouyi said.

"No trouble at all, you’re too kind, General Manager Chen," Director Zhao quickly replied.

Not to mention this is an important political task assigned from the provincial government, even military orders had to be pushed back. And the processing fee, other heavy machinery factories with the capability to process it would be competing fiercely for it.

It’s not about money.

In the current wartime state, with orders so busy that state-owned enterprises are working three shifts around the clock, money doesn’t mean much.

The processing fee is the materials.

As long as a 3.5-meter giant sword is forged, the remaining materials are considered the processing fee.

This metal, its physical properties are beyond outstanding, utterly astonishing.

Its density is as much as 17, the melting point around fifty thousand degrees Celsius, hardness several times that of titanium alloy. To forge it, the entire heavy machinery factory exerted great effort, overcoming countless technical challenges encountered.

The only fifty thousand ton press almost broke down, just barely managing to form the rough prototype.

Chen Shouyi looked at the iron bar emitting a white incandescent glow under the continuous hammering of the giant press.

Being called a rough prototype, you couldn’t really see any semblance of a sword yet.

It had only changed from its original cylindrical shape to a flat one, clearly, there’s still a long way to go before it becomes a true sword.

"I wonder, General Manager Chen, are you preparing to fight with this sword, or...?" Director Zhao tentatively asked.

"It’s for my own use!" Chen Shouyi nodded and said.

The fact that he could transform into a giant wasn’t known to many, so everyone was dumbfounded upon hearing this.

"If you make it according to Martial Arts Sword specifications, this sword could weigh five to six hundred kilograms!" Director Zhao exclaimed, Martial Arts Sword spines are usually very thick, making them sturdy and not easy to break, also heavier than thin swords.

"Let’s forge it as such, five to six hundred kilograms isn’t too heavy!" Chen Shouyi thought for a moment and said.

He’d already experimented in a secluded spot.

Now that he could transform on Earth, he reached a height of 4.5 meters with arm strength of 45 tons. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Five to six hundred kilograms is only about one-fiftieth of his single-arm strength, making it quite handy to wield.

"By the way, when will it be completed?" Chen Shouyi asked.

"Um... If everything goes smoothly, it will take about one and a half months more," Director Zhao recovered from the shock and quickly said cautiously.

Chen Shouyi nodded, this couldn’t be rushed, a total of two months was already very fast.

He watched for a while longer and left the factory soon after.
