The next day.
Duke brought the anxious Jynx back to the Collin Workshop. Standing at the entrance of the Collin Workshop, Duke gestured for Jynx to ring the doorbell.
Duke held Jinx's bag in his hand. Under Duke's encouraging gaze, Jinx mustered up his courage and rang the doorbell.
Jingle Bell
When the doorbell rang, Colin opened the door first. He was slightly stunned when he saw Jynx, and then he cast a questioning look at Duke.
"This little girl is my former neighbor. Her family asked me to take care of her and let her come here to learn something!”
Duke thought about it and added,""Janna also knows about this!"
"If you sneak out again in the middle of the night, don't come back!”
Collin, who welcomed Jinx into the room, lectured Duke. Duke shrugged his shoulders and said,"Janna instigated it. I had no choice!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Duke's head was hit by the wind. He didn't mind smacking his mouth and walked into the shop.
After settling Jinx, Duke returned to his room and took out the blueprint of Clockwork Warframe. He laid it on the table and looked at the blueprint."It's time to start making armor!”
..........
Five days later.
Collin Workshop, Forging Room.
" The energy system should have a self-circulation and overload mode. It can unleash even more power in times of crisis. Other than that, the energy must be guided smoothly.”
In front of the blazing fire, Duke repeated his thoughts in his heart as he swung the hammer and hit the red energy components on the iron felt.
Behind him, his Clockwork Battle Armor was almost fully formed. The outer armor had been completely cast. Overall, the appearance of the battle armor was similar to Iron Man's battle armor. The streamlined battle armor was completely in line with the air science. It was slim and did not reduce its defense.
On the surface of the armor, there were many ports, like the ports of a tube.
This was the result of Duke's sudden inspiration. He could increase the external equipment without affecting the armor itself.
The energy source was not in his chest, but in his shoulder blades.
He referred to Mark One's power system and incorporated some of the exoskeleton's design concepts. He also re-designed the power system of the entire warframe according to the advantages of Clockwork Technology. At the same time, Duke also carved runes inside to assist the circulation and connection of magic power.
On the surface, it looked ordinary, but in fact, there was a hidden mystery.
Not long after, Duke, who had finished casting, soaked the parts on the iron felt in a special solution and quenched them. On the table not far from him, there were some clockwork creations that he had made in his spare time.
These things were prepared for tomorrow's Evolution Day. Mr. Colin said that it was not enough to have an exoskeleton alone. It was easy to be criticized by people. He needed to create some products for daily life.
Duke simply made some gadgets. There was a clockwork copper stove hotpot that could be heated continuously, a clockwork bicycle, a clockwork skateboard, a clockwork ladder, a clockwork hot water bottle, and other products that covered many areas of clothing, food, housing, and transportation.
These things would be displayed on the Evolution Day tomorrow. Colin brought Orianna and Jinx to work on the exhibition booth for the Evolution Day.
Jynx integrated into the Collin Workshop very quickly. The main reason was that Collin and Orianna were both tolerant people. They did not reject Jynx because of his Zuan identity. Jynx was living a good life here.
Her enrollment date would only be confirmed after the Evolution Day, but her quota had already been stuffed into a beginner class through Victor.
At this time, Duke could only say that it was really easy to get things done!
He had already signed the contract for his exoskeleton, the best contract. The first payment would be sent three days after the Evolution Day.
The construction of the factory was also underway.
What Duke needed to pay was the blueprint and report of the exoskeleton that was already outdated to him.
Right now, the thing he needed to pay attention to the most was to pass Iron Man's personal mission, obtain Iron Man's recognition, and obtain the mission reward.
He did not have much time left!
While the parts were being quenched, Duke walked up to the warframe. The warframe had increased by a few centimeters based on his height, which also gave him a better driving experience.
Pulling the chain, Duke lifted the outer shell of the armor and started carving runes on the boots on his legs.
After he awakened his magic talent, his control over runes had improved to a new level. After selecting a suitable rune group as quickly as possible, Duke categorized them.
There were rune groups responsible for energy circulation, rune groups that increased strength, rune groups that increased defense, rune groups that had the ability to float, and so on.
Duke took the time to carve the last rune. He took the component out of the special solution and began to carve the rune on it.
These were the components of the energy system that housed the Hex Gem. The runes were more numerous, more detailed, and more complicated.
Duke, who had spent an hour carving the runes, took the rest of the components and assembled them. The energy component was shaped like a triangle, and it was covered in runes. It was a perfect combination of science fiction and fantasy.
"First-attempt ignition of energy system!”
Duke, who was holding a recording pen that he had won from the lucky draw, took out the Hexagon Gem and carefully placed it into the groove.
When all three gems were installed, Duke connected the wires and turned the switch. His eyes were focused on the activation of the energy system.
When Duke turned the switch, the Hex Gem began to release its own energy. The energy seeped out through the runes and lit up one rune after another, emitting a bright blue light.
Duke's eyes gleamed as he waited for the energy system to fully activate. However, at this moment, the energy components began to rapidly turn red and bright under the influence of magic power.
" The components are overheated. It's an oversight!"
Noticing the change in the energy component, Duke quickly turned off the switch. The Hexagon Gem was immediately cut off from the energy component, and the runes dimmed one by one.
"I only remembered the power adjustment of the energy output and forgot to install the cooling system!”
Patting his forehead, Duke began to rummage through the materials he had. Finally, he took out the Absolute Ice Dagger that he had obtained from Benso's grocery store.
"It's an ice that doesn't melt and has a freezing effect. It's perfect as a cooldown!”
After waiting for the energy components to cool down, Duke, who had disassembled and reassembled it, installed a cooling system in the middle. The main body was the Absolute Ice dagger, but he had removed the handle, leaving only Absolute Ice.
After repairing the runes that had become blurry due to excessive heat, Duke activated the energy pack again.
In just a moment, the energy was steadily being pumped out, and the energy unit's overheating was also perfectly resolved.
"Now that it's settled, we can start the final installation!”
Duke put down the warframe, took out the plan, and flipped through it page by page, checking for any mistakes he had made. When everything was checked, he installed the triangular energy pack on the back of the warframe and began the final touches.
Half an hour later, Duke took a few steps back and looked at the armor on the frame. He nodded in satisfaction.
The overall shape of the battle armor's face plate was similar to the Ember's face plate of the Source Project Skin. After the red crystal was polished, it was bright and clear, and the eyes were like an open V. There were ventilation holes for breathing on both cheeks.
The shoulder armor had a fracture where it could be used to install external weapons. The same was true for the joints of the arms and the gauntlets. However, the forearm was thicker and the joints were thinner.
There was a claw blade that could be extended and retracted on the finger.
The breastplate was engraved with the symbol of an unfixed head, and it was inlaid with a crystal plate. Under the crystal plate was a rune group. The waist armor fit the curves of the body, and there were fractures on the outer sides of the legs. The thickness of the armor ranged from thick to thin.
The overall color scheme was red and blue instead of Iron Man's gold and red.
Looking at his armor, Duke couldn't wait to open it. He wanted to test it out immediately. In just a few minutes, Duke closed his visor and released his magic power. While giving life to the armor, he also activated it.
The runes inside the armor lit up, and the energy system was activated. The Hexagon Gem continued to steadily output magic power. As the runes received the power released by the Hexagon Gem, the internal clockwork began to slowly start.
Crack, crack, crack
The surface of the armor automatically opened up a gap, and a faint white steam spewed out from it. Feeling the strong driving force brought by the armor, Duke took out the target that he had prepared in advance from his inventory.
A piece of hard granite weighing five tons.
Duke, who was holding the granite with both hands, exerted a little strength and lifted the granite above his head without any difficulty. However, the ground under his feet could not withstand such a huge weight and caved in.
He pulled his hands outward, and as the spring power ran, an incomparably powerful force erupted, tearing the entire granite apart. As the crack ran through the entire granite, Duke held half of the granite in one hand and stood on the spot, panting slightly.
"Success, there's no problem with exerting force!”
"Then the next step is the flight test!”
Duke put away the granite and was about to throw it away when he found the time. He looked at the door of the forging room, his eyes shining with eagerness.
