Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 136 Hakimi, Stealth Coating
Yes, [Pterodactyl drone].

Although Luca hadn't found any crafting items during this time.

But by a twist of fate, I made an unexpected discovery when I went on a business trip to my own factory in Tennessee a few days ago.

While this item itself might not be of much use to Luca, it would be good to disassemble and analyze it to upgrade his company's combat drones.

Now that all the materials have arrived, Luca naturally intends to synthesize them.

Drawing circles, clapping, combining – all done in one go.

When the white light faded, a futuristic-looking, exquisitely designed briefcase appeared before Luca.

The entire body is painted in a dark green color that is almost pure black, with a few scattered yellowish-brown streaks.

Three metal flight wings, each equipped with a propeller fan, are now tightly folded into the surface of the 'suitcase'.

The small carrying case, about 30 to 40 centimeters long, has several high-definition cameras on the front for precise positioning. The drone only has a small, movable machine gun at the very bottom front, which is currently off.

"It's not very heavy when you lift it, and it does look a bit like a business briefcase~"

Recalling the various descriptions of [Pterodactyl] on the previous cheat code panel, Luca shook his head and chuckled helplessly.

"No matter how convenient it is, it's still just a drone, and besides, its size isn't exactly small for a drone."

"Instead of carrying such a large suitcase on business trips, wouldn't it be better to carry a couple more pistols in your pocket?"

Luca is somewhat interested in the advanced technologies contained in this [Pterodactyl drone], but as for the product design concept itself...
All I can say is that fantasy works are ultimately just fantasy works, and there will always be some assumptions.

Remembering the hint from the cheat code that the briefcase lacked external control, Luca simply looked up and called out to the recording device above his head.

"Hakimi, try scanning this briefcase on my desk to examine its structure and internal programs."

"Hakimi received. Scanning initiated. Attempting wireless connection to the suitcase."

A response came from the laboratory speakers.

The sound was somewhat similar to the electronic voice of Hello, but it didn't repeat words like Hello.

I almost forgot to mention that this 'Hakimi' is actually an intelligent program that Luca added to his own laboratory.

It was actually modeled after Tony's artificial intelligence Jarvis.

However, unlike Jarvis, 'Hakimi' is not a single artificial intelligence; its core is actually an AI integration program similar to swarm intelligence.

The 'swarm' being integrated here is, of course, the large, colorful harlo that has now appeared in Luca's house.

I've mentioned this before.

Today, Luca has already installed a large number of Haro charging stations on the laboratory floor, and the Haros connected to these stations can provide computing power support for various tasks in the laboratory.

And this so-called 'Hakimi' is the output terminal of all Harrow AI intelligence collections.

Therefore, the more Harrows that stay obediently on the pedestal, the stronger 'Hakimi' will be in all aspects.

The strongest form is naturally the orange Haro, the 'brother of all Haros,' who leads all the Haros to provide support for 'Hakimi'.

In this scenario, 'Hakimi' not only has stronger computing power and processes tasks faster, but its AI intelligence will also be much more human-like.

However, the little orange Haro seemed to think that merging with 'Hakimi' would cause him to lose his distinctive way of speaking, and he also wouldn't be able to jump up and bump into Luca's knee.

So unless Luca gives the order, the little gadgets usually don't like to stay obediently on their own special base.

Back to the main point. Just as Luca was waiting for Hakimi to finish scanning and project the [Pterodactyl] program and blueprints onto him, his own artificial intelligence gave him an answer that he hadn't expected.

"Scan failed. Unable to build internal structure model of suitcase. Connection failed. No communication channel detected. Please try wired connection."

"uh-huh?"

Luca was slightly taken aback when he heard Hakimi's words.

Looking again at the [Pterodactyl drone] on the table, wasn't the light already on?

However, in the next instant, Luca immediately recalled the description of this item from the previous panel.

When the drone is off, it can avoid external scanning and disguise itself as an ordinary suitcase.

Is this thing really that mysterious?

It's important to know that the scanning equipment in Luca's lab today is vastly different from what it used to be.

Even without Big White's intervention, it can still complete the vast majority of equipment scanning tasks.

Unexpectedly, this time they suffered a setback with a drone that didn't seem that impressive.

'But this seems like a good thing? It's another new technology.'

Thinking of this, Luca immediately dutifully pulled out a data cable, made some minor modifications, and reconnected the drone directly to his computer.

Everything is normal this time.

As Luca saw the various data and information about this [Pterodactyl] in front of him, he finally understood how it worked.

It turns out that the manufacturer of this 'commercial' drone, 'Military Technology,' aimed to ensure that the business elites who use it have a better user experience.

A special signal shielding coating was added to the outside of the drone, which is somewhat similar to the radar shielding methods used by today's mainstream stealth fighters.

This coating allows the drone to block most signal detection when it is powered off and closed, retaining only a single frequency band of signal fluctuations for easy remote start-up and control.

This shielding coating only becomes ineffective once the system is fully deployed and in combat mode.

If the pre-set signal frequency band is not known, even with Hakimi's all-around scan, it would be difficult to detect the [Pterodactyl] in its off state.

"Hiss~ It's really for business warfare? There are so many places this thing can be used!"

Luca immediately gasped, and all sorts of bizarre ideas popped into his mind.

"Unshielding after deployment is completely redundant. Such a highly efficient stealth method would be a waste to use on drones."

"Hello, hello! Go back to your throne!"

With a whole host of new ideas popping into his head, Luca immediately wanted Orange Haro, his real "father," to help analyze and refine them.

However, after calling out several times, there was no response from the little one. Instead, it was the other "little brothers and sisters" who hadn't yet realized their place in the family who kept responding to their boss's calls.

Somewhat puzzled, Luca immediately pushed all the mischievous little ones aside and looked back.

However, they discovered that the orange Hello was rolling around on a glowing skateboard.

"Wait! It's glowing?!"
