Gotham World.
Hardy's new identity was named Fraser Watt.
Translated, it also means Hardy.
A native of Gotham, twenty-five years old, orphaned in childhood, but excelled academically, receiving a scholarship from the Cobblepot family to attend university.
At the age of 18, he went to study in Midtown, pursuing both undergraduate and master's degrees in mechanical engineering at Midtown University. His academic records were verifiable, and his nominal supervisor, Harrison Wells, had coincidentally passed away two months ago. As long as the documents from Midtown matched up, it would be difficult to investigate any issues.
"Harrison Wells?"
Hardy frowned and searched for the name on the computer.
Harrison Wells, a Ph.D. graduate of Star City University, later served as a professor at Midtown University, founder of the Interstellar Laboratory, a high-energy physicist, and founder of the new generation particle accelerator. He was paralyzed in an experiment accident a year ago and died again two months ago due to another experimental mishap.
Hiss...
How did Penguin arrange such a mentor for himself?
If I remember correctly, this guy seems to be Reverse Flash?
But fortunately, he's already dead. Even if there are residual fluctuations in the timeline in the future, they will probably focus on the Flash, so it shouldn't cause trouble for me.
And the matters in Midtown shouldn't affect Gotham.
Let's just focus on making puppets honestly.
After a period of study and building on his knowledge of puppetry in the Naruto world, Hardy believed he was now ready to start making puppets.
Knowledge always grows as you learn more, and the difficulty increases as you progress. His current abilities were enough to ensure that the puppets he made would surpass his previous level, so he could start now.
Another reason was that things had been a bit unsettled in the area recently.
This wasn't a wealthy area with good security; it was just an ordinary residential area. Although not a slum, it wasn't far from one.
Yesterday, two gangs were fighting on the street next door, and a stray bullet hit his window.
Therefore, designing a new type of puppet with panels was the easiest task.
The tungsten alloy and aluminum alloy panels that served as the skeleton and main body had been delivered to his home yesterday.
In the corner of the room, there was an integrated machine tool that included a milling machine, drilling machine, and bending machine.
This machine tool wasn't as high-end as those worth tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars because Hardy didn't need such precision at the moment.
Many puppeteers had their own ways of completing tasks.
With tools, materials, designs, and skills in place, it was time to get to work.
First, cut the alloy panels, then rough process them on the bending machine to create the basic shape, followed by drilling and precision machining on the drilling and milling machines to ensure precise assembly of each component.
The tungsten alloy, hard but high-density, as the skeleton, lightweight aluminum alloy as the main body, and other parts in between, attached with energy-conductive metals like gold and copper, along with sensors, cameras, small radars, and other electronic components connected to the microcontroller, were placed according to the panel's layout.
These small items were not for combat but for assistance. If these electronic components were disturbed and couldn't be used, Hardy could still manipulate the puppet with chakra threads to unleash its combat power.
In the end, he wasn't trying to create a high-tech battle suit like Iron Man but to combine civilian-level technological capabilities with his puppetry skills to form combat power. At present, there was no need for a particularly high level of technology.
After completing these internal structures, the ceramic composite material shell is attached to high-strength stainless steel on the outside through resin adhesive as an external protective armor for the puppet. Finally, the puppet's main body manufacturing is basically completed by welding with argon arc welding.
It is worth mentioning that the puppet's arms are equipped with a pneumatic device powered by chakra plates.
The pneumatic pistons are driven by chakra lines, compressing air into the cylinders for storage.
When needed, simply move the chakra lines slightly to activate the air pump.
The additional power of the pneumatic device combined with the puppet's own performance makes the punch incredibly powerful.
Moreover, being driven by chakra lines, the puppet can be controlled to a certain extent by water, ensuring sufficient safety.
Lastly, the weapons part.
Hardy modified the purchased Harding revolver and PMX submachine gun to a certain extent.
The submachine gun is mounted on the right arm of the puppet, with the barrel facing forward. The magazine is removed and replaced with a large-capacity ammo chain on the inner side of the puppet's right arm, increasing the original 30-round magazine capacity to 150 rounds.
The Harding revolver is positioned on the shoulder, automatically popping out when necessary, capable of rotating 360 degrees, with high bullet kinetic energy. The magazine capacity has also been increased several times, almost resembling a small Gatling gun.
Hardy worked tirelessly in the workshop for a week, even ordering takeout for meals, finally completing the puppet.
"Black Secret Technique: One-Man Show."
Ten chakra lines shot out from Hardy's hand, connecting to the puppet's components, assembling them.
The sound of strong metal collisions and friction rang out, and after about ten seconds, a tall and powerful metal puppet was assembled.
The black paint with a metallic sheen covered the steel muscles full of power, standing at around two meters high, making most people have to look up at it.
Hardy was very confident in the power of this puppet.
[Puppet Name]: Unnamed
[Comprehensive Parameters]:
Height: 2.01 meters
Weight: 188 kilograms
Materials: industrial alloy, ceramic composite fiber, silver, copper...
Energy: None
Operation Method: Chakra lines
[Puppet Rating]: B- (B)
[Comprehensive Evaluation]: Armored combat puppet, a product of the fusion of puppetry and modern engineering, with excellent performance, strong close combat destructive power, and a certain long-range attack capability. When combined with a puppeteer, combat effectiveness can be further enhanced.
Hardy controlled the puppet to perform a few simple actions in the workshop, feeling not too difficult. He then pulled the chakra lines again, disassembling the puppet into its components, and wore them on himself.
"The smell of engine oil is a bit strong. I should consider adding an air circulation system later. The vision is not significantly affected, but I can also consider making a double protective layer, one being bulletproof glass for normal use, and the other a sliding display projection for showing the rear view."
After clenching his fist and adjusting his hand position, Hardy controlled the black and gold puppet to move around the workshop he had modified in the back hall.
To rely on one's own abilities, to mix into the slums and establish one's own gang, step by step, to grow and strengthen!
