My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 151 Fighter Puppet

After pulling out the chariot and testing it a few more times, Tang Yu confirmed that the performance of the Floating Chariot was exceptional, especially its collision capabilities. "Shay, try out the power of the mini energy-gathering cannon."

After he finished speaking,

the front end of the Floating Chariot extended a muzzle, the light converged, and with a whoosh, a white beam shot from the muzzle and penetrated the ground, leaving behind only a deep hole.

"Is that all? What about the promised explosion?"

Shay even specifically got off the chariot, ran over to the hole where the beam had penetrated, and inspected it, only to find that it was indeed just a small hole.

Kevin brushed his long beard and cleared the dust off it. "This is a concentrated type of attack. Unless it meets high-intensity resistance, the beam will directly penetrate the target, resulting in more lethal damage."

"I see…" Shay replied, disappointed, muttering under his breath, "No explosion, no sense of romance at all, thumbs down!"

After recording all the data, Kevin looked at Tang Yu with a smile. "Lord, do you remember you said yesterday that besides the Floating Chariot, today we would also test some new equipment, including a new type of puppet?"

He didn't know where Tang Yu had obtained all these ingenious blueprints, but, considering the Lord had summoned him from another world, the sophisticated blueprints seemed relatively insignificant by comparison.

What was even more precious was that these blueprints and materials were fully accessible to him.

The last time, the Rune Language Book, although it only covered the basics of rune studies, had brought him considerable gains. Kevin was even surprised to find that, as an advanced Rune Master, his foundational knowledge in runes was so weak, and in some areas, his understanding had deviated from the essential meanings of runes. Under such circumstances, his advancement to an advanced Rune Master had even surprised Kevin himself.

This was not an issue with his learning ability, but rather, in his original world, rune knowledge was a high-end and scarce resource.

Many books were written by predecessors who had read the Rune Language Book, based on their own interpretations.

Not to mention the scarcity of the Rune Language Book, many legacies were incomplete, and the rune masters who compiled these books might not have fully grasped the content in the Rune Language Book. Some of the recorded materials, after their interpretation and successive revisions by later generations…

A book on rune studies that reached Kevin's hands was already the product of countless revisions, not to mention some knowledge came from ancestors' manuscripts, which were blackened and emitted an odd smell.

Who knew what those so-called ancestors used these manuscripts for!

The scarcity of knowledge also made it impossible for him to scrutinize; he could only guess and experiment when he encountered things he didn't understand.

Kevin didn't even know how many labs he had blown up testing some rune structures, resulting in a lack of generous sponsors willing to fund his experiments, which really frustrated him.

Failure was clearly the precursor to success, so why didn't these people believe that?

Given such circumstances, he was even more excited about the books in the library, those incredible blueprints, and the physical equipment made according to those blueprints.

Kevin rubbed his hands together, his old face grinning like a blooming chrysanthemum.

Tang Yu took out a spherical object, bigger than the basic human-shaped puppet compressed into a sphere, roughly the size of a fist.

These single-piece equipment, when they came out, were in a compressed state, of course, and once deployed, they could not be compressed again… This was mainly due to the large size of the equipment itself, similar to the Floating Chariot. Even if it was just the components, they were in a compressed state when produced.

The workshop's black box was only so big; without compression, he couldn't imagine how the equipment could emerge, let alone grow in size during the process like some kind of Dimension Bag. However, that was not feasible; the workshop's gate was only so wide, and the Floating Chariot seemed likely to smash through the wall if it tried to exit from the workshop.

That is, if it could knock down the walls of the workshop.

Holding the grey compressed sphere in his hand, he weighed it, and it felt quite good in his hand.

Tang Yu threw the sphere into the air, where it compressed and transformed into a human-shaped puppet over two meters tall.

With a thud, the puppet's feet hit the ground, landing steadily.

This was the Fighter Puppet in its bare equipment form.

Over two meters tall and humanoid in shape, it resembled a small mecha, its body covered in gray armor. Whether its arms or legs, both exhibited a strong sense of power. Standing on the ground, its inherent weight of several hundred pounds caused the soft soil to sink slightly.

He had spent fifty thousand units of Source Crystals to purchase these high-end blueprints.

This type of puppet, which mimicked human combat patterns, had a much higher combat intelligence than the basic Warrior Puppet. What was even more valuable was that this puppet could be fitted with a variety of weapon attachments, including melee and ranged weapons.

This meant it could serve as a Sword Fighter Puppet, a Shield Fighter Puppet, or even a Gun Fighter Puppet.

"Unfortunately, to create the most powerful fighter puppet that could rival an Awakened Ninth Layer in its bare form, the materials required are far beyond what I can currently gather."

It had three grades, the highest of which had the strength of the Awakened Ninth Layer.

The next grade possessed the strength of the Awakened Fifth Layer.

And the lowest grade, which was the puppet in front of him, had the strength of the Awakened Second Layer, made from the most common iron materials.

This was the limitation of the puppet. In theory, Kevin could manually produce a puppet army. However, theory is always theoretical. If a theory could be realized, it would have already become reality; why would it still be called a theory?

"Let's first test the strength of the lowest grade Fighter Puppet. If feasible, with the current materials, I can still assemble a few second-tier Fighter Puppets. And this strength is just in its bare form. As long as I load the Fighter Puppet with weapon attachments and reasonably match the lineup, their strength should be fairly high."

Tang Yu was deep in thought.

Meanwhile, Kevin was already impatiently rushing forward.

Just like when he first saw the Floating Chariot, Kevin's hands were constantly caressing the Fighter Puppet. Only this time, he had replaced the chariot with a puppet, still humanoid. Tang Yu found it a bit unbearable to watch.

Fortunately, this time Kevin suppressed his burning spirit of research and controlled his hands from disassembling the puppet for study... He had disassembled many basic Warrior Puppets before. Glancing at Tang Yu standing nearby, Kevin guessed that disassembling the puppet might lead the Lord to immediately turn hostile.

Too risky to provoke.

With Tang Yu's authorization, Kevin used voice control to make the puppet perform some simple actions while recording data on the side.

Finally, Kevin pondered, "Lord, since Fighter Puppets are meant for combat, it would be best to collect firsthand data from battles. I would also like to see the combat intelligence of this type of Fighter Puppet..."

Tang Yu thought that made sense and pondered.

Should he step into the ring himself? That would be unbecoming—definitely not an option.

Shay was too strong—pass.

Kevin? Although stronger than the Fighter Puppet by a slight margin, he felt a need to show respect for the elderly.

His gaze swept around and spotted members of the Patrol Team practicing the preliminary moves of Heavy Slash in the distance. His eyes suddenly lit up.

He had found his guinea pigs.
