Seer: An Ordinary Little Pirate

Chapter 356 Equipment Crafting

"Wu Erqi, congratulations on your fortune!"

Upon hearing the sound, Wu Erqi jumped up and looked up to meet the blacksmith's excited face.

"Old blacksmith, what brings you here all of a sudden? And what about my fortune? I'm so poor I can't even afford to eat."

"Don't try to fool me. I heard you met the legendary Mechanical-type Elf King and even received his inheritance?"

"Which little brat snitched on us!"

Wu Erqi shouted.

"Half of your mechanics are my apprentices and grand-apprentices, and the rest have all been trained by me. How could they possibly hide the creation of new equipment from me? Besides, they're all having a blast chatting about it in the group chat."

The blacksmith smiled and said, "But nobody told me that I deduced it."

Wu Erqi was speechless. The Trinity System was his biggest trump card at the moment. He originally wanted to keep it a secret, but he couldn't keep it from anyone.

"Erqi, you can't forget your old equipment just because you have a new system. I gave you this set of Heavenly Tiger Warrior equipment. Now it's your turn to repay me. Lie down and let me study it!"

The blacksmith was excited to the point of madness; it was clear how much the Elf King's legacy appealed to him.

"I remember saying that I would repay you in the next life."

Wu Erqi strongly objected, saying, "Is that research? It's like tearing him apart!"

"You wish! Hurry up and lie down on the operating table, lie still and let me study you! What do your mechanics know about mechanical manufacturing? You still have to rely on me. Wait until I've figured it out, and I'll build you the equipment for free."

Wu Erqi was eventually dragged onto the operating table by the blacksmith despite his resistance. Only the blacksmith would dare to use him as research material.

"Come here, all of you, come and help me out."

The blacksmith beckoned to the group of timid mechanics who dared not approach, while Wu Erqi glared at them fiercely, calling them a bunch of loose tongues.

"Such a meticulously planned layout..."

"Why didn't I think of that!"

"Is this technology really feasible?"

"..."

The laboratory was filled with the exclamations of praise and discussions from the blacksmiths and mechanics.

After an unknown amount of time, Wu Erqi slowly woke up. The blacksmith was seriously calculating something and turned around after hearing the noise.

"Oh, you're awake?"

"Thank goodness you didn't tear me apart."

Wu Erqi stretched his body and said with relief.

"You're doubting my skills. I can take it apart and put it back together exactly as it was."

So you really did tear me apart!

"How can we conduct research if we don't dismantle it?"

The blacksmith replied matter-of-factly.

"Besides, it's not like we haven't demolished them before."

Wu Erqi was speechless. Before, he was a worthless man and didn't care if his life was destroyed. Now that he has become stronger, he cherishes his life.

"How's the research going?"

Wu Erqi changed the subject.

“Benefited a lot!”

The blacksmith exclaimed in surprise.

"I thought my mechanical skills had reached their pinnacle, but only today do I realize that there are always higher levels and more skilled people out there. I can only say that he truly deserves to be called the Elf King; his technology is at least two generations ahead of mine!"

"Only two generations ahead of you? Blacksmith, you're not exaggerating, are you?"

Wu Erqi teased.

"Isn't it an exaggeration to say that we're two generations ahead? You have to understand that with a one-generation lead, high technology is enough to completely suppress low technology. If we're two generations ahead... ha, then all we can do is increase our numbers. And even then, the other side has to be willing to cooperate, because if they want to run, you probably can't stop them!"

Wu Erqi pondered the blacksmith's words and found them quite reasonable. With Marsius's strength, almost no one could break through his solid wall form when he switched to the extreme speed form, and almost no one could catch up with him when he switched to the extreme speed form. Only the destruction form was not so outstanding.

Of course, it's not that the Destruction type's attack power is weak, but rather that Marsius's own size limits his output ceiling. No matter how strong the Destruction type is, can it compare to a few neutron cannons?

However, neutron cannons must be mounted on super battleships or built directly on the ground, and their energy supply must be ensured, resulting in near-zero agility.

"You've seen the mechanical structure, but what about the triad system? Can you figure out what's going on?"

"The Trinity System is the most crucial element in the Elf King's legacy. If the Destruction Cannon, the Fortified Shield, and the High-Speed ​​Jet are the torso and limbs of this system, then the Trinity System is its heart!"

"Unfortunately, I can't fully understand its meaning either. I can only start by studying the underlying code and maybe then I can figure out its secrets."

"However, I always feel that even if the Trinity system is perfectly replicated, it will not run as smoothly as you do. More likely, it will slow down the core processor and cause the robot to malfunction. You must have other secrets."

The blacksmith looked Wu Erqi up and down, and said with great certainty.

"These days, who doesn't have secrets? If I didn't have some incredible luck, how could I have grown from an ordinary little pirate to my current strength?"

"You're right."

The blacksmith nodded in agreement.

The Machine Soul is obtained by making a wish upon the Ares Crystal. Even the blacksmith didn't know it existed. I wonder if the doctors on the Seer ship are knowledgeable enough.

So far, only Marius has been able to recognize the Machine Soul.

"Let's put the Trinity system aside for now. Can you build a solid-wall energy shield and a high-speed jet? None of my mechanics dare to make a guarantee. To be honest, even if you don't come, I'll still have to ask you in the end."

"Although the technical threshold is very high, it can't stump me. However, the equipment here is not precise enough, so it will be difficult to manufacture. I'll go back to headquarters."

"That's fine, I actually had the same suspicion."

Although Wu Erqi values ​​technology, its development started too late, and its technology lags behind the headquarters overall.

While some technologies are ahead of headquarters, and even the entire universe, they are not in mechanical manufacturing. Wu Erqi's forces do not have any mechanical-type spirits that he can be proud of...

Except for himself.

"Then wait for my news. I will definitely forge the equipment you want within six months."

"Half a year? That long?"

"At most six months, three or four months if all goes well."

"That's alright. To be honest, I might need it urgently, but I might not be in such a rush."

Whether it's urgent or not depends entirely on when Wesker is resurrected.

"Haste makes waste. What about the Destruction Cannon? Aren't you going to use it?"

"No need for this."

"Did the Mechanical-type Elf King just give it to you?"

"Even so."

After the Machine Soul merged with the Trinity System, the old Machine Soul Cannon was directly transformed into the Destruction Cannon. In terms of both power and quality, it fully met the requirements. The newly created one might not even be as good as the Machine Soul Cannon.

"Tell me whether mechanical manufacturing is considered high technology. Take the Elf King for example. The technology he possesses is from ten thousand years ago, yet it can completely overwhelm the mechanical level of this era."

"And your Heavenly Tiger Warrior is also a technology I obtained from the secret realm."

"I feel that if mechanical technology is to develop, we must first do archaeology; if we mechanics are to advance, we must first learn to be archaeologists."

The blacksmith smiled wryly.

"Scientific and technological development relies on archaeology, and this is also recorded in the Russian Military Industry."

"I'll be going now. I need to hurry up and study those blueprints and materials so I can build it for you as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, brother, I'm in trouble and I need some manpower. Can you send me some experts?"

"You want me to hire a master?"

The blacksmith had a "Are you kidding me?" look on his face. Everyone knew that in the entire Obi Organization, the Sky Tiger Demon General's elves were the most powerful, and everyone knew that the Sky Tiger Demon General had the most prestige and could hire a group of "outsiders".

"How's the upgrade of the Mechanical Taklin coming along? I'd like to use it."

"So that's what you were planning."

The blacksmith took out an elf capsule, hesitated for a moment, and then handed it to Wu Erqi.

"Although I have upgraded to Super Alloy Taklin, my strength is... about the same as your Taklin. My attack and defense are stronger, but my intelligence is definitely not as good as the original."

"That's incredible!"

Wu Erqi was shocked, but then he thought that the blacksmith was probably comparable to Dragon Soul Taklin, so... that wouldn't be bad either.

They can still rank third under him, and are probably even stronger than Irandi and the others.

“If you’re not in a hurry to use it, I can upgrade it further, and he can use the technology I obtained from you.”

"Didn't you say you hadn't figured it out yet?"

Wu Erqi asked in confusion.

"It's those three high-precision pieces of equipment that come with the system. Although I can't equip the Mechanical Taklin with all of them, I can equip one of them without any unexpected problems."

"Although this also involves system compatibility issues, I think it should be solvable if we spend time studying it."

"Erqi, the advanced technology you obtained from the Elf King this time will definitely bring a huge boost to the organization's strength."
