28 Finishing and testing the M40A5

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 assemble 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 assistance 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 ass 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 fucking 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.

Oscar: Let's assemble it, you guys

Lou Gao: Let's do it

Long tian/Yun: Alright

The two brothers then hi fived each other and then looked back at me, waiting for me to go first. I did not hesitate as I started off with the barrel and receiver by joining them together then bolts and a few other springs which we made as well. I then added the other components which got handed to me by the old man and the long brothers, until finally it was completed. There it was in all of its beauty with a graffiti-like camo, the rifle of which I hoped to change the face of this world with. Sure, it may not look exactly like the one in my old world, but it still has the same purpose as the old one.

I looked towards the three people who were able to help me make it happen and made my eyes misty. However, the three people who I was staring at, also had their eyes getting misty, I mean after all the work we did we had finally made it the first of it's kind the M40A5 rifle and I could not wait to try it out.

Oscar: Hahahaha, let's not get all emotional and see what this baby can do

They then rubbed their eyes and nodded their heads, I knew I could not wait any longer, so I immediately took the rifle and notice that it weighed about 30-40 kgs. This would have been a problem for me if I did not have insane amount of strength however I still was able to carry it with ease.

Oscar: Hey old man, do you know any field that we could use for target practice

Old man: Yeah, I know one, lets go, and while you're at it make sure to bring some bottles and a metal post.

Oscar: You got it

Long tian: I got the bottles

Long Yun: Dammit, I guess I got the post then

Oscar: Well, let's get going

We then went outside the fortress and waited for old man Lou to do something first to it.

Oscar: Come on let's go

Old man Lou: Just wait, now where did I put it

He then went behind the fortress and seemed to be finding something, and once he did he hollered at us just to make sure we knew.

Old man Lou: Found it

He then clicked whatever it was that he found and suddenly the fortress began to shrink until it was the size of a hand luggage. I would have asked him how he was able to do that, but I don't think the author would like to explain the science behind it. Anyways 20-25 minutes later we arrived at the field and finally set up the bottles as well as the metal post. I then took out the three scopes which had three different purposes, the first one had a range of over 1 miles, the second had 3.5 miles, and the last had 4 miles.
