Chapter 87: Research success (2/2)
After Sam made the structure, all he has to do was to inject the spirit stone completely and make a formation of spiritual energy. This formation continuously directs the spiritual energy to the structure and make it crystallize.
This process is almost automatic, the stone will only crystallize only after the long- term exposure of spiritual energy.
After the initial success, Sam got greedy. Even though the spiritual energy to create a structure is more time consuming and the energy required is slightly a little higher, there is a very big advantage in this.
He can make the energy veins which deviate the energy outside to the atmosphere. And he can control the output of the energy as he wished. This might not be useful if it is made of normal neutral spirit stones, but if he made use of the elemental stones and particularly with the elements he can control and have access to, he can have many uses.
And one of the uses, he got is from his 120th experiment.
In that experiment he made a crystal structure with the wind element stones. He used a single core and made a normal structure which is almost in same size of the spirit stone.
When he directed the energy out of the veins and converted it to the wind, and when he tried to manipulate the wind flow, pressure, and speed, he was surprised so much that he immediately got an idea and the Silver meteorite sand in his hands is suitable for it.
That is the reason he kept on conducting the experiments and the crystal structure he is testing now has more than ten cores. It is in the shape of an ice hockey puck. But the size is slightly different.
It is also a bit concave in nature. It is more like a section of a hemisphere. And it is also made of the wind element one.If this one succeeds, his idea will success mostly.
Sam named this energy crystal structures as energy cells and he is going to use them just like battery cells. They can be used and reused. And that is one of the most important features needed for his next project.
After another two days, the test on the cell is completed and he took it out to inspect it. After confirming that everything is alright with it, Sam wrote a big success on the notebook and closed it.
He immediately got to work to create another in shell in same size. This is the last cell required for the next project. After this one the other requirement for the project is to just make the forging of the metal. If he succeeds in this project, Sam not only would have a transport gadget in the streets and he didn't have to walk.
Yes, the main concern is always to satisfy his vanity. He is tired of walking inside the city and streets. This made him sick and frustrated.
The second thing is he can also use it as a weapon in a group battle and hunts.
So, he is pretty much excited to finish this. And after this is finished, he has to start his journey ahead of the team. He has to go to the Marquis city as soon as possible. After all, if the debt isn't collected in time the interest he wants to collect will be more and if his new found friends see him like that, they will not dare to stay near him.
They would even feel his legs shaking when they stood near him. Even though, he was pretty much a loner in his previous life, he wants to fulfil wish of Stella in this life. She always nagged him about getting some friends which he wasn't fond of. But he wanted to give that life a try and he didn't want to lose it now.
After setting up for the next energy cell, Sam came out of the tower for the first time after ten days, but he didn't talk to anyone and immediately went to the woods. For, next process, he needs some wooden logs.
After a day of search, he finally found some quality wood from the trees named, Black Wood tree. This is very high-level from the Starwood tree and that is not even the main reason. The main reason is that it is highly heat resistant.
The resistance to the heat is very high that not even the heat required to make the highest- grade rank 3 metal will not even burn it. At most, it can just scorch the outer-most layer a little bit.
Sam started cutting the largest of the trees with wind blades and after getting two long cylindrical logs with more than a foot diameter and took them back to the mansion. As soon as he entered the room, he went into the tower.
The first thing he did was to make the surface of tree smooth.
After that he took out the silver meteorite sand and went to the cauldron. The Silver meteorite sand was at rank 3 now.
But it is not in the level where he cannot melt it.
Sam quickly made a mould and started melting the silver meteorite sand, He used up five cubes of the silver meteorite sand. A lot of pre-laid formations activated as started his fire, Sam didn't want to exhaust his energy reserves that easily, so he made a formation which will constantly supply the spiritual energy to him and he made use of this energy to make the fire.
After more than five hours the sand finally became molten and he poured the metal inside the mould.
The mould is actually most simple one. All he is making is a billet rectangular in shape.
After it was done, he took out some normal ores he got from the Black pond which are used for making sturdy things more like modern day cast iron which is called Black iron. It is a rank 2 ore and Sam started melting it. This didn't take much time and immediately became liquid.
He also made some moulds before and poured the metal.
These are also in rectangular cross-section. These pieces became solid faster than the meteorite sand.
He took out the blocks from the moulds and started welding. He made two frames. Each frame has two spike and each spike is slightly more than a foot apart.
After placing the frames in the place, he took the logs in his hands and they were inserted to both the frames with the help of spikes.
What Sam is making is a make shift rolling machine.
He needs to make a sheet metal and he doesn't want to take risk of polluting the silver meteorite sand by making a large and thin mould.
He can do this by black meteorite sand when making a sword for Jack because, he used the technique which is used to make Japanese blades.
That is still okay because, he is making a sword but now he isn't making a blade and this method may not be good to use.
Sam took out the solidified billet from the mould and placed heated it to certain extent. His hands are in elemental fusion mode as held the billet and placed it between the rollers.
Yanwu is on the other side of the rollers, he started rotating the roller while Sam pushed the billet. When the billet was completely outside, he noticed that the billet is a little thinner.
The process continued, he made some adjustments to the distance between the logs and made the billet thin and thinner.
Slowly the billet was formed into a sheet. The thickness became a lot less and became so less that it is in millimetres.
Then only he stopped repeating the process.
Now onto the next step. Sam has to make one of the main components of the product, The frame.
There are three main components of the product and one is the frame, the body and the final one the cells.
Now two parts are completed and the only part he has to make is frame. If that is done after the assembly and some additions, he will be able to complete his product.
