Chapter 452 Waiting for a New Tang Sword
"What are the drawbacks of laser weapons?"
Han Shuo let out a soft "hmm," and then continued speaking.
"It's just that the energy needs to be replenished regularly, it's not a big deal."
The silver-haired man smiled and waved his hand, then took out his lightsaber and spoke.
"It's not as simple as you think. The technology for maintaining laser forming is very complex, so you have to be careful each time you charge it. It may take several days of continuous charging."
"Huh? So complicated?" The fat man frowned. He had initially thought it would be similar to ordinary electronic devices, requiring only a few minutes or hours to charge.
"Yes, once my lightsaber is fully charged, it can be used for about an hour."
"Simply put, it can be used for one hour and recharged for several days. It's fine for emergency use, but it's not suitable for long-term use as a main weapon."
The silver-haired man explained for a couple of minutes and then continued.
"Besides that, it's also relatively easy to accidentally hurt yourself, as you two know."
...
After listening, Han Shuo nodded.
Light swords are indeed difficult to control; if you're not careful and touch one even slightly, the result could be as severe as cutting flesh or severing limbs.
However, in his view, this wasn't particularly fatal. After all, all weapons carry this kind of risk, a fact everyone understands; it's just that laser weapons are riskier...
Han Shuo then stopped thinking about it. At this point, he realized that laser weapons were not suitable for him.
He didn't want to run out of power before the battle was over and have to fight bare-handed during a major war in the future.
...
He turned his gaze to the black crystal in his hand and asked a question.
"You just said that weapons made from this material are far more practical than laser weapons. Is this crystal? Is there anything special about it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the silver-haired man smiled, casually took back the black crystal, and said...
"It's called Black Crystal, a name I just gave it randomly. The original form was indeed a crystal, but it was later fused with many other materials, so it has been greatly enhanced in both hardness and sharpness."
"As for its biggest advantage, my friend, you've seen it."
The silver-haired man first kept everyone in suspense, then opened the lightsaber in his hand.
The next moment, he carefully placed the black crystal on the tip of the lightsaber.
Surprisingly, the black crystal was not directly pierced by the laser sword; instead, the laser at the tip of the sword was slightly bent.
Han Shuo and the fat man both widened their eyes in surprise at what they saw.
"Holy crap, amazing! This black crystal isn't afraid of lasers?" the fat man exclaimed dramatically.
Han Shuo's eyes were also filled with surprise.
"Not only that, it can also refract some laser light."
...
"Ha ha!"
The silver-haired man laughed heartily and pressed the button on the hilt to retract the laser sword.
"That's right. The surface of black crystal is not only hard but also like a mirror. Weapons made from this material will never have to worry about being broken by lasers again."
"How about it, my friend? Is this compensation generous enough?"
“Generous! Generous!” Han Shuo replied hastily.
At this moment, he couldn't wait to transform the black crystal in the silver-haired man's hand into the shape of a Tang sword.
He was extremely satisfied with this material.
"Where's the pen? Where's the paper? What are you waiting for? I'll draw the shape of a Tang sword for you right now."
The purple-haired man next to him immediately took out the items that Han Shuo needed from his pocket.
"Give!"
...
A few minutes later, a design drawing of a Tang sword was completed.
Han Shuo drew with great care, not only marking the length proportions but also meticulously depicting the thickness from the blade to the tip on the paper.
As for the appearance of the Tang sword, it hasn't changed at all.
He has always loved the original form of his Tang sword.
However, he knew that once the new Tang sword was made of black crystal, although its appearance would remain unchanged, its color would likely turn pure black.
The black Tang sword, as Han Shuo imagined it in his mind, not only added a sense of mystery but also a sense of novelty...
...
He then checked the design several times to make sure it was correct before handing it over to the silver-haired man.
"Brother Silver Hair, begin forging according to the design I have drawn."
The silver-haired man glanced at the design in his hand and said with a smile.
"My friend, you are truly a knife enthusiast, marking every detail so clearly."
"Don't worry, I can get it done for you in about three days."
Han Shuo nodded quickly and replied gratefully.
"Okay, thank you for your help."
Next, the purple-haired man ignored the three of them and returned to his work station, typing away on the keyboard.
Han Shuo and the other person chatted with the silver-haired man for about 10 minutes before waving goodbye.
...
The two of them were full of energy and dressed neatly when they went out.
When he returned, he had a pig's head and his clothes were tattered, making him look like a beggar.
The two new clothes were ruined by the two of them in less than half an hour.
Of course, this has nothing to do with the two of them, since the blond guy was a bit ruthless, and they were also the victims.
However, despite this, the two looked even more energetic.
Because this compensation made them a fortune.
The fat man never let go of the large sack in his hand the whole way, because it contained a full 100 bio-grenade grenades.
With these 100 bio-grenades, Han Shuo believed that if they encountered large hordes of zombies outside again, they would not be as miserable as before.
...
The group had a good rest for the next two days.
During this time, with the help of Zi Fa, Cheng Shenghong and the others replaced the truck's windows with new ones.
Li Shurou then fully charged all the electronic devices.
In the remaining time, she purified the turbid liquid that the team had obtained earlier again, preparing it for use in the next evolution and modification.
Judging by the time, Han Shuo and the others can resume using the turbid liquid, since about a month has passed.
As for Chen Hai, he was probably the busiest among them.
They discussed it and decided to stay here for a while, as such a safe and peaceful place is hard to find.
Taking this opportunity, Chen Hai planted some vegetable seeds in the valley outside the base every day so that everyone's meals could be more abundant in the future.
However, while deciding to stay, Han Shuo also wanted to take his men out for some activities.
Everyone can continue using the turbid liquid now. During this time, he also needs to search for and hunt some alien species to replenish the team's turbid liquid inventory.
In this way, if something unexpected happens along the way, they will have more means to protect themselves.
He needed a suitable weapon when he went out, and he was waiting for that new Tang sword.
