Chapter 23: The Space Ring! The Plan to Create a Gundam!
In the restaurant.
The table, filled with the enticing aroma of delicious food, was lavishly arranged on a table that was over 20 meters long and 3 meters wide. It was no exaggeration to call it a Manchu Han Imperial Feast.
Horn didn't say much, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
"tasty!"
His eyes lit up; the taste was more delicious than he had expected.
"Young Master, please eat slowly..."
Seeing Horn's ravenous gaze, Zhao Hailun quickly poured him a glass of water.
"Sit down and eat too."
Horn took the water, drank a sip, and waved.
Zhao Hailun usually takes care of his daily life, eating together and staying here at night.
"Um."
She nodded and sat down next to him, so she could take care of him.
Half an hour later.
"Burp... I feel so full..."
Horn's belly was bulging like a ball, and he was sprawled out in the chair, looking very comfortable.
"Perfect, let's test our abilities."
After resting for a few minutes, he recalled how to use the [Life Return] technique and focused his mind on controlling his body.
"call--"
He took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.
A magical scene appeared!
Horn's belly, which had been bulging like a ball, deflated at a speed visible to the naked eye, right before Zhao Hailun's incredulous eyes.
It was as if the air had been released from a ball with each breath.
Once his stomach returned to normal, with his well-defined abdominal muscles and skeletal muscles reappearing, his expended energy also began to recover rapidly.
"So strong!"
Feeling the abundant power within his body, Horn directly experienced the immense power of [Life Return], and his heart was filled with astonishment.
Such a speed of digestion is simply unheard of!
"If this were used in combat..."
He clenched his fists, his eyes burning with determination, and he felt more confident in facing any potential crises.
"That's amazing!"
Zhao Hailun looked surprised and asked curiously, "How did you do that?"
"magic."
Horn smiled mysteriously and, under her gaze, extended his hand.
Swah——
The food left on the table, enough to feed dozens of adults, vanished instantly.
"Oh my God!"
Zhao Hailun exclaimed in shock, "Gone?! All the food has disappeared?"
"Look."
Horn waved his hand again.
The food that had disappeared reappeared on the table, as if the scene had never happened.
"This doesn't make sense!"
Zhao Hailun pushed up her glasses, her eyes filled with incomprehension.
What she saw completely shattered her understanding and did not conform to the laws of physics that the public was familiar with.
"Isn't that amazing?"
Horn smiled, offering no further explanation, and looked down at the black ring on the index finger of his left hand.
Its entire body was covered with golden patterns, like mysterious runes, which was the [Space Ring] he had obtained three days ago.
It was an item, unlike skill books or enhancement agents, which produce different reactions when used. So he couldn't wait to go home. When the helicopter landed at the air force base, he took it out and put it on his hand, which bound it to his mind. He even took the opportunity to test it out.
After testing, he discovered that after the ring was bound to his mind, he only needed to close his eyes to see the huge space inside the ring, which was 100 meters long, wide, and high. With a thought, he could easily put items into the ring and release them with another thought. It was very convenient to operate.
As for what can be put in and what cannot, as the item description says, anything that is not fixed to the ground can be stored there. Of course, this does not include living things.
What surprised him even more was that the space inside the ring was absolutely still, without any concept of time or gravity. Food stored inside would not spoil at all; whatever was put in would be exactly the same when it was taken out.
This is also why he asked Zhao Hailun to prepare a lot of food, so that no matter if he uses [Naval Six Styles] or any other skill and his stamina is depleted, he can replenish it in time through [Life Return], and he doesn't need to worry about the situation of overexertion that happened last time.
"Alright, tidy up the table and tell the kitchen to continue preparing the food."
Horn withdrew his gaze, ignoring the stunned Zhao Hailun, gave an order, and left the restaurant.
……
A few minutes later, in the underground laboratory.
Horn, leaning back on the sofa, closed his eyes and recalled memories related to the [Strike Freedom Gundam Manufacturing Technology].
In his memory, one after another, unfamiliar devices, exoskeletons, programming codes, and weapon technologies appeared like a revolving lantern.
After recalling all his memories, he was completely stunned.
"Awesome! The person who designed this Gundam is a genius! I never knew it could be done like this!"
如果说别人製造出来的高达只能达到1+1=5的效果，那强袭自由高达能达到的效果就是1+1=5000！
The effect was a thousand times greater!
"If we upgrade its weapon systems, power systems, and energy systems, its effectiveness could probably be improved!"
Horn simulated the manufacturing process in his mind.
But then, one problem after another arose.
What materials should be used to manufacture it? And how will the energy aspect be addressed?
This is the Marvel universe after all, and many materials simply cannot be replicated. It would be almost impossible to create the fully-formed Strike Freedom Gundam from the Gundam universe.
Unless vibranium and uru metal are used as the base, VPS variable phase-transfer outer armor is created using phase-transformation technology, and nano-adman alloy is used as the internal skeleton and joints, it may be difficult to achieve the desired effect.
However, these materials are simply priceless and unavailable, so where could he possibly get them?
Moreover, the fully-formed Strike Freedom Gundam is 18.8 meters tall and weighs 80 tons...
In other words, at least one hundred tons of manufacturing materials need to be prepared, since error tolerance also needs to be taken into account.
"Damn it, if I had the ability to perform molecular transmutation, I wouldn't need to worry about this kind of thing."
Horn was somewhat troubled. "If all else fails, let's first create a scaled-down version of the armor based on the Strike Freedom Gundam."
The complete Strike Freedom Gundam is extremely resource-intensive. If you use inferior materials instead, even if you manage to build it, it will be nothing more than a big, useless lump of iron that might disintegrate before the enemy even makes a move.
However, if we could manufacture a suit of armor that is about three meters long and weighs several hundred kilograms, similar to Tony Stark's Mark armor, it would be no problem.
With the Strike Freedom Gundam's power, even the abridged version, Horn believed that its performance could absolutely crush Tony's Mark armor.
"Then, in terms of energy, ultra-advanced deuterium systems can be replaced by miniature arc reactors."
"Besides that, there's the operating system, which is easier to handle..."
With that in mind, Horn got up and went to his desk, placed his hands on the keyboard, and quickly entered program code into the computer.
"Perfect timing, I'll level up Tia while I'm at it."
