《My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!》Chapter 89: Learn With Great Concentration, Entry Level Of Forging At Last!
Advertisement
In Su Mo's eyes, the powerful error correction function and pointers given were even more professional than masters who had been immersed in their crafts for years.
The images and texts were well-documented and you could watch them repeatedly. Given this, if one could still not learn anything, then they should find a piece of tofu to hit themselves to death with!
"It turns out that the 15% description of this excellent-quality item does not mean that there is a 15% chance that errors can be found and corrected. Rather, it means that the original process can be improved by 15%!!"
"Perhaps 15% would not display an immediate effect for ordinary people but, for those who are already at the pinnacle of their fields, or...an eighth-level crafter, this is an amazing function!"
"If father was here, and with this baby around, gosh..."
Thinking of the subsequent terrifying level upgrades the LCD TV and its powerful error correction ability could bring, it was difficult for Su Mo to keep calm!
After adjusting the camera angle to capture the workbench, Su Mo drank a large mouthful of psychic energy water to regain his energy. He then began to work with his robotic arm on.
He started off with the simplest iron axe.
He took out an iron block and put it on the workbench. Following the previous procedures, in about ten minutes, a brand new iron axe was produced!
It was a pity that this iron axe was not at the entry-level. It was only due to the attributes and the quality bonus of the workbench that it achieved the "good" level.
The two special abilities that came with it were also ordinary bonuses for sharpness and there was nothing too special about it.
Su Mo removed the robotic arm and set the workbench to standby mode, Su Mo stepped back to the living room, sat on the stone bench, and began to replay the production process from before.
After a slight pause, the full 12-minute video began to play slowly.
On the screen, facing the front of the workbench, Su Mo sat down and began to put on his robotic arm.
"Huh, there were mistakes right from the beginning!"
Su Mo looked at his figure in the video curiously. As Su Mo's figure in the video sat down, the display shifted to a split-screen view and, at the side, a virtual figure also similarly sat down.

Red silk threads rose from the ground and ran up to the top of the figure's head, before dispersing and spreading downwards; from the top of the head to all over the limbs.
Compared with Su Mo's posture, the virtual figure on the side seemed to display a completely different spirit.
A line of words began to appear in the two images, Su Mo looked intently and muttered, "Forging… Requires a relaxed, but firm neck. The head should be upright and the spirit should be strong."
"The neck should always be straight, but also light and flexible. The back of the neck should be aligned with the head. Extreme stiffness and softness create disadvantages, but a relaxed and straight neck provides strength!"
In simple words, this was the teaching on flexibility. At this time, on the screen, both figures were starting to look at the iron block in front of them, looking for the segmentation point.
Since his head and neck were not straight and aligned, Su Mo was surprised to find that, from the third-person point of view, there was a big problem with his initial cut.
The virtual figure on the right of the screen cut the iron straight and vertically, but Su Mo's cut was at a 10 degree angle and was not cut perpendicularly.
"The loosening of the joints prevents stiffness and, in turn, the flexion and extension rotation would be relaxed. When the arm is straightened, it is like a steel rod, while the elbows' movements are flexible."
"A straight back without a bending curve should be achieved, and the upper body and chest should be upright. Chest out and back straight, both supporting each other, with the strength controlled by the spine."
When forging and hammering, the figure on the left was wobbly because of the posture. The hitting points were inconsistent, landing sometimes to the left, and sometimes to the right.
The figure on the right of the screen, however, was always very consistent. Although the strength applied did not seem to be great, he hammered close to the point every time.
As the production progressed gradually to the end, the difference presented between the two axes on the table became evident.
The rough surface of the axe made by Su Mo could be seen with the naked eye and, even if it was burnt and beaten, it was still rough.
Although the one on the right could not be considered excellent, in terms of the overall shape, it was a lot better than Su Mo's!

"Is there such a large gap between me and an entry-level craftsman? Even when it comes to crafting such large pieces, I can't be counted as entry-level!"
Wiping the sweat off his forehead and sitting in the living room, Su Mo played the production process over again.
This time, Su Mo focused his eyes on the virtual figure and watched the movements of the figure intently.
Sometimes, the shadow of the hammer moved and danced, and other times the figure was cutting and polishing.
Regarding this kind of crafting, Su Mo's maintained a very serious attitude, thanks to the compulsory education he had on Earth, as well as his father's teachings when he was a child.
When the 12-minute video was over, Su Mo's eyes were still fixed on the screen.
The video was being replayed again. Su Mo did not realize that all his thoughts and concentration had been devoted to this simple production process.
The figure in the picture was moving, and Su Mo imagined himself moving in sync with the figure.
Every hammer, every drop, every cut, every movement, Su Mo made sure that he memorized all of it.
The second time, the third time... After replaying the video the sixth time, Su Mo had to rub his sore eyes and stopped the video.
After a while, the screen played once again, and the direction of Su Mo's gaze changed.
He was no longer staring at the right, but to the left!
In Su Mo's eyes, the loopholes that had gone previously unnoticed on the left side were now fully evident.
After watching it, Su Mo sat down directly in front of the workbench without taking a break.
He attached the robotic arm to his right hand and placed the iron block on the workbench. Su Mo then began to immerse himself in the production.
This time, if any outsider could observe Su Mo's two different production methods, they would be exclaiming in surprise.
A person's back could reflect their mental state very well.
Sitting down, Su Mo's waist was loose and upright. It was not bent, skewed, hard and rigid like the last time.
The neck was loose and straight, and the muscles were soft. His head was lifted gently upwards, as if there was a bowl of water balanced on the top of the head.
Controlling the robotic arm on his right arm, he began to cut the material. When the blade came into contact with the iron block, it slowly dived down, churning out bursts of sparks onto the stone wall.
This time, Su Mo had cut it to his heart's desire, leaving him feeling inexplicably comfortable.
There was no sense of stagnation at all!
Clank!
The axe-like iron block was cut off and fell in front of the workbench. He reached out and pushed the remaining bits aside.
Su Mo then began the second step of heat forging.
Under the high temperature, the color of the iron block turned red, gradually reaching the point where it could be forged.
Clang!
A hammer blow fell on it! Before the sound had fully dissipated, hammer shadows fell heavily on the surface of the iron block repeatedly, one after the other.
Su Mo kept his back loose and upright on every hammer swing he made. There seemed to be a force of pulling his arms upwards; his joints were relaxed and flexible, not stiff, nor sluggish, bending and extending freely.
The shadows of the hammer and the surface of the iron block clashed with sparks. Although it was not as accurate as the figure in the video, under Su Mo's deliberate control, it was completely different from before.
The more he forged, the more confident Su Mo felt inside. He placed the forged iron aside to cool it down.
Focusing mentally, a bottle of psychic energy water was summoned by Su Mo and appeared in his hand.
After pouring it into his mouth, Su Mo spat the water out over the red axe head. When the high-temperature iron met with water, bursts of white steam scattered outward.
Su Mo took out the handle of the axe that was made before and pressed the axe head into place. When the joints had been glued together, Su Mo used his mind to display the attributes of the ax.
[Iron Axe (Good)]
[Description: An iron axe made by the entry-level craftsman "Su Mo". Crafted from solid materials. Although the workmanship is rough, it has some merits and achieved "good" quality.]
