Chapter 29 Choice
Gu Yuena thought of Di Tian and the others.
They are all level nine mecha designers, level nine mecha makers, level nine mecha repairmen, and level eight peak blacksmiths.
Perhaps their talents in these four professions vary, but over thousands of years, even those with low talent can gradually hone their skills to reach higher levels.
Gu Yuena didn't understand before, but Meng Xinghe's words made her understand a lot.
The things that suit you best are always the ones you make yourself.
Therefore, the battle armor worn by Di Tian and the others, from two-word battle armor to three-word battle armor, was all made by themselves, from design drawings to metal forging and then to battle armor manufacturing.
Only the four-character battle armor is available because their blacksmith profession level is only eight, which makes it impossible to forge Heavenly Forged Metal. Therefore, the Heavenly Forged Metal needed to upgrade the battle armor from three characters to four characters is provided by Meng Xinghe.
The principle of putting oneself in another's shoes is a simple truth that human wisdom could not possibly fail to grasp.
However, human talent is finite. While it's not uncommon for people to possess exceptional talent in all four main professions, they are extremely rare. The norm is to have some talent in only one secondary profession, or none at all.
At the same time, human lifespan is also limited. This limited lifespan prevents humans from slowly grinding up their secondary profession levels over a long period of time, like Di Tian and others.
Limited talent, limited lifespan, and limited energy mean that Soul Masters cannot complete the entire process of creating Battle Armor on their own, so division of labor and cooperation have become the mainstream.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuena suddenly looked at Xu Xiaoyan sitting to her left and asked, "Xiaoyan, what's your side job?"
"Me?" Xu Xiaoyan smiled sweetly. "I'm not as good as my idol or Miss Gu Yuena. I've only mastered one of the four secondary professions, which is mecha manufacturing. I'm currently a level three mecha manufacturer."
"The idol said that in the process of making battle armor, the mecha designer is responsible for designing the battle armor blueprints, and then the blacksmith selects rare metals to forge it according to the design blueprints. After completion, it is handed over to the mecha maker for final production. The professional characteristics of the mecha repairman require him to understand both mecha design and mecha manufacturing, so he can participate in the process of battle armor design and battle armor manufacturing to a certain extent."
"If I had to choose only one profession to participate in battle armor manufacturing, the order would be: Blacksmith > Mecha Maker ≥ Mecha Designer > Mecha Repairman. My blacksmithing talent is average, so I chose Mecha Maker."
Of the four secondary professions, the talent for mecha manufacturing is the easiest to judge. Under normal circumstances, a person's hands-on ability and manufacturing talent are directly proportional. The stronger one's hands-on ability, the higher one's manufacturing talent, and vice versa.
Similarly, in most cases, a person with strong hands-on skills will also have good repair skills.
Secondly, there's mecha design. People with high design talent may not necessarily have high mental talent, but people with high mental talent definitely have high design talent.
The most difficult thing to judge is forging talent. Forging is not as simple as blacksmithing, nor is it just a matter of having great strength. Talent in this area is hard to show from outward appearance.
Xu Xiaoyan's own spiritual power talent is not low. With the improvement of her first soul skill, her spiritual power value can even be compared with her peers with top spiritual power talent.
Therefore, she has a great talent for mecha design, and her hands-on skills are also quite good; in other words, she also has a great talent for mecha manufacturing.
Xu Xiaoyan then had two choices: mecha designer or mecha maker.
Ultimately, she chose to become a mecha maker.
Choosing only one secondary profession, Mech Maker ≥ Mech Designer, on the surface it seems like you can choose either one, but that's not actually the case.
The battle armor design blueprints determine the upper limit of the battle armor's quality and performance, while the quality of rare metals and the manufacturer's technology only ensure the lower limit of the battle armor, allowing the manufactured battle armor to approach the upper limit of the ideal state of the design blueprints as closely as possible.
If she chooses to become a mecha designer, the battle armor created by His Majesty the God will naturally be able to approach the upper limit of the ideal state of the design blueprints, but with her own design skills, the upper limit is just so-so.
Conversely, she chose to become a mecha maker, and the battle armor design blueprints were designed with the help of the Gods, so that the lower limit of the design was higher than the upper limit of her own design.
Having understood these principles, Xu Xiaoyan naturally knew how to make the right choice, which was also a benefit bestowed upon his followers by the Heavenly God.
The God himself designed the battle armor and forged the metal; this is a privilege that no one else can enjoy.
……
With her secondary profession at level three, Gu Yuena had already reached the minimum threshold for crafting one-word battle armor, so she thought of having Xu Xiaoyan participate in the battle armor crafting project as well.
In any case, the One-Word Battle Armor is just a transitional tool, so its quality and performance don't matter.
The One-Word Battle Armor is made of thousand-refined metal and cannot be integrated with the Soul Master. It is usually stored in a special external device, and when needed, there will be a process similar to "armor fusion".
This process can be interrupted.
Yes, you heard right. The process of putting on the battle armor can be interrupted. After all, Douluo Continent is not like other worlds where there are invincible frames during transformation.
At the same time, because it is made of a thousand-times-forged metal, the One-Word Battle Armor cannot be upgraded.
Therefore, the creation of the two-word battle armor needs to start from scratch.
Two-word battle armor is made of spirit-forged metal. The biggest difference between it and one-word battle armor is that the metal of two-word battle armor has a spirit. It can not only be integrated with the soul master and worn at any time without a combination process, but also can be upgraded by adding new metals, so that the production of subsequent three-word and four-word battle armor does not need to start from scratch.
"Xinghe, and Xiaoyan, let's begin. I want to use magic silver to create a one-word battle armor. What metal do you want to use?"
Magic Silver is a rare metal with the characteristic of elemental affinity. It's not just affinity for a single element, but affinity for all elements. For a Soul Master like her who controls multiple elements, this metal is the perfect fit.
Seeing that Gu Yuena was so interested, Meng Xinghe decided not to disagree.
The Spirit Alloy One-Line Battle Armor requires a mecha design level of at least level four and a mecha manufacturing level of at least level five.
Gu Yuena's current secondary profession level is not high enough, so it's not a big deal to make ordinary one-word battle armor for fun. After all, there is no conflict between spirit alloy one-word battle armor and ordinary one-word battle armor, and it can also accumulate experience for future battle armor making.
"I also choose magic silver, because my Sky Power itself contains multiple elemental attributes."
Xu Xiaoyan thought for a moment and then said, "My astrological attribute is also a kind of elemental attribute, so I'll choose magic silver too."
