CHAPTER 155 ( PLAT )
🕑 Added 2025-09-17 13:44:57 +0000 UTCEitri suddenly fell silent after hearing Aidan's words, and then asked him awkwardly, "Are you familiar with the materials in the universe?"
"I've only read about them in a book," Aidan replied. "I read it in the library of Asgard; it should be quite comprehensive."
Eitri thought for a while, and then said, "Let's practice how to hold a hammer first. I don't have any books on me to show you." Materials are smelted and forged according to their properties.
"No problem. But I should be able to have my own forging room later, right?" Aidan asked.
"That depends on you. When I think you can forge independently, I will give you a furnace," Eitri said.
"I hope that my own foundry can be remodeled by me. You also know that I am not the same as you dwarves."
"This is no problem, as long as it doesn't affect our star ring," Eitri nodded understandingly.
Under the leadership of Eitri, Aidan quickly came to the place closest to the neutron star again, but it was much farther away than the last time they had been. "Come in with me. This is our forging room," Eitri said, pointing to the front.
What appeared in front of Aidan was a small factory. There were some people standing beside a huge melting furnace. At the same time, sparks were flying inside, and a long red strip of metal was being worked on in an open space. If it weren't for the surrounding starry sky and the star ring, Aidan would have really thought he had appeared in a steel mill. It was a little different from what he had imagined. He thought that there would be a person holding a hammer over a weapon that was about to take shape, and that the smelting furnace would be a kind of casting pool.
Eitri took Aidan across the noisy area and came directly to a quieter room. It was a bit messy inside, filled with what seemed to be scrap metal or leftovers. "Forging hammers not only needs strong rigidity but also strong toughness. The hammer itself doesn't use much material, and the structure is simple. It only needs to be smelted and cast with some scraps," Eitri said, then picked up a piece of gray metal from a shelf. Then he looked again and picked up a stick of wood. Tossing them in his hand, he nodded with satisfaction and came to Aidan.
"This is a Getan meteorite. It is heavy enough and has enough rigidity," he said, handing the gray metal to Aidan. The gray meteorite fit in Eitri's hand and could be held with one hand, but in Aidan's hands, he had to hold it with two. Aidan's arm was armored, and he was ready to pinch and test it. "…It's very hard," Aidan said, looking at the lack of fingerprints on the meteorite, and gave it back.
"Yeah," Eitri took the meteoric iron, and then handed over the wood. "This was given to us by the tree people. The rest has been used up."
"The tree people?" Aidan suddenly thought of Groot. After looking at it, Aidan said that he remembered it. Eitri then came to a small casting room and threw the Getan meteorite into the furnace. The moment the meteorite was thrown in, Aidan felt that the pipeline next to him began to transmit energy, and the temperature of the furnace also began to slowly rise. After that, Eitri calculated the time and temperature and smelted the meteorite in the furnace.
A hammer didn't take a lot of his time. Soon, a rough and primitive hammer appeared in Aidan's hands. "Let's start the next step!" Afterwards, Eitri took him to a forging table with pliers and other tools beside it. Although Eitri didn't look very smart on the surface, he was still very careful when teaching Aidan.
As a result, Nidavellir had one more person from Earth who was a little short. At first, the dwarves were not used to him, and were even a little resistant. Because he didn't drink much and was very quiet—he basically didn't talk much, just followed their leader Eitri to learn. Most of them were outspoken people who did things carelessly, so it was normal for them to be unaccustomed to Aidan. If it hadn't been for the heavy hammer he was holding, they might have thought Aidan was a weakling. Compared with their physique, Aidan was indeed a little thinner, and he did not have the heroic and fearless temperament of a warrior.
With the development of time, Aidan's learning progress was rapid. He soon became a teacher in his own right and obtained a separate casting room independently. Of course, to say he was a teacher only meant he could start forging by himself; many times he still wanted to find Eitri to study. After having his own casting room, Aidan transformed it for convenience, at least to facilitate his future use. After the material forging stage was completed, it was on to enchanting. This aspect was Aidan's strength, and his learning progress was very fast.
It has been about three months. Nidavellir was still the same as usual, but there was a strange building in the area near the neutron star device. Unlike other regular foundries, this one was completely enclosed, and its whole body was black, like a huge black cube. At this time, inside the casting room, Aidan was wearing a battle uniform, and in front of him was a square platform with a faint blue hammer on it. In his hand, he held what looked like a carved cone, which he was using to engrave on the hammer.
As the mysterious lines on the hammer were gradually engraved, a red rune faintly appeared above it. "Da!" With a peculiar wave hitting the air, the red rune slowly shrank, gradually receding to the surface of the hammer and disappearing. Immediately afterward, he took out a basin of silver-white metal liquid again, and then poured it over the surface of the hammer. Soon, the dark blue hammer turned into a silver hammer. Once again, he took out a somewhat primitive hammer and smashed it against the hammer in front of him. Under his control of the strength, the metal liquid that was about to cool seemed to be alive and slowly wriggled. A silver-white hammer appeared in front of him.
Aidan waited for a while, but no accident happened. "Huh!" he let out a sigh of relief. "It's done!" In front of him was his own hammer, a forging magic weapon, but it had been strengthened by himself. It was heavier and tougher than before. The rune engraved in the later period was a Seraphim rune created by himself, a rune of energy borrowed from the dimension of Lord Seraphim. The energy characteristic of the Seraphim dimension was strong defense, and the characteristics of the Jera Rune he added to activate the energy had been strengthened again. In this way, the strength of the forging hammer in his hand had reached the level of Uru Metal, which was slightly worse than Adamantium and Vibranium.
With the perfection of the basics of casting technology, the rest could be considered for a dream. By taking advantage of the time difference brought about by falling into a dream, he could provide himself with a longer time and a better venue for practice.
