Chapter 28 - Finishing and testing the M40A5 (1/2)

After talking with Lou Gao and the long brothers and managing to help them calm down which was a long process as how I was able to obtain my strength. I then went into my room to grab the other half of the blueprint, as I did I got the other half and put them together on the table with a light on it. I looked towards Old man Lou and beckoned him to come over as I wanted to begin the process of making the M40A5. However, when I looked at his face it had look of disbelief as if to say, ”I can't believe that this is finally happening”.

Oscar: Hey old man hurry it up already

Old man Lou broke out of his stupor and quickly made his way towards the table in hopes of seeing a weapon that has never been seen in this world before. I could see the look of excitement on his face as he kept on contemplating on how the process of the M40A5 worked, he then immediately took out his spirit tool which was a ”pen”. I knew what he was going to do next, as he took a piece of paper and spit out blood as ink and drew the complete blue print of the M40A5.

Oscar: Hey old man are you ok

Lou Gao: Haaaah…. Haaah… haaah… I'm good

I then quickly made my healing sausage without him/the long brothers knowing.

Oscar: Here

Lou Gao: Huh?

Old man Lou looked at the sausage in my hand and took it without question, he then ate it whole and chewed only a bit.

Lou: Mm… it tastes good, but what does

He then felt revitalized and no longer exhausted like before, he was about to say something else but stopped and only said two words.

Lou Gao: Thank you

Oscar: It's all good

We then went over the plans and discussed it over, we were then joined by the long brothers who hoped to listen in on it as well. As we finally concluded, we finally began the process of building the M40A5. I started by building the scope and also using rare crystals and metals that were provided by Lou Gao (A.N: I don't really know any rare metals in Douluo dalu, so I'm going to make some BS up), whereas Lou Gao was working on the stock and muzzle brake.

The metals we used were rare even in Gengxin city, some were dark steel, cold iron, impenetrable sliver and even a few others. Whereas the crystals I was provided with included a heart-piercing crystal, yin diamond, yang topaz. We kept on making each of the components necessary to ȧssemble the M40A5, in fact it took me nearly two days to refine the crystal and finally manage to shape it into three different scopes. Whereas Lou Gao who had the ȧssistance of the Long brothers took more than 3 and managed to make the action from tungsten metal.

We then continued and kept on making the other components with the metals that we had. The final one was the barrel which required the most important metal to make that the range of the bullets can reach the target. The metal which we supposedly needed to use was a metal that we had to spare great efforts and Lou Gao's connections to obtain and after two days we finally did. The metal we got was a (A.N: Not sure if this exists or not, but this is my own bs I think) ”Tungsten ore”.

This metal ore was a pain in the ȧss as we tried to make sure that none of its parts were brittle in the process. Anyways the thing is, the melting point of which we had to reach was over 3,400°C which let me tell you was almost like fuċkɨnġ hell. I mean we had to use suits which we designed to cool our bodies even in high temperatures, but that still did not stop the heat from reaching us. However, after hours and sweat we finally spilled it into a barrel shaped hole, then 20 minutes later It was shaped and then we put it into a tub full of cold water.

As the cold water touched the surface of the metal, it immediately sizzled and evaporated as the rest of the metal entered the water. The thing is, as the water all evaporated the metal was still hot as hell and we had to fill another tub while holding with metal pliers. After filling two to three tubs, were we able to finally get the metal to cool the hell down, no pun intended. We then placed the metal on the table and the other components of the M40A5, I looked over each of them and then back at the others and told them what I wanted to say for over the past few days we spent on it.
