Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 235 HN Particles, New Tools

"Luca."

"Shh~~~"

Inside the underground laboratory.

Well, to put it more like a large underground mechanical workshop than a laboratory.

As Luca's headquarters in New York, the Orange House naturally had more than just the laboratory on the top floor.

However, Luca probably caught Tony's flamboyant personality before, so he usually prefers to use the top-floor laboratory that overlooks the surrounding scenery.

However, the laboratory on the top floor is still under repair, so he had no choice but to temporarily move to the underground area.

Just then, Shirley, carrying an incubator, entered the room and was about to greet Luca when she was stopped by Big White, who was waiting nearby.

Seeing Big White put his round finger in front of his non-existent mouth, gesturing for silence, Shirley stopped, amused, and did not approach any further.

In the distance, in the center of that spacious laboratory, Luca was carefully and intently holding a pale blue spherical crystal, trying to place it into the center of a strangely shaped cylindrical machine.

As the tweezers moved forward, the pale blue spherical crystal seemed to be captured by some kind of force field, and it floated quietly inside the cylindrical machine.

Immediately afterwards, Luca carefully stepped back and slowly pushed the control lever on the test bench next to him.

From a distance, Shirley could clearly see that inside the cylindrical device, clearly visible currents were constantly striking the spherical crystal in the center.

As the electric current continued to strike, the spherical crystal's brilliance grew stronger and stronger.

The lines on the cylindrical device at various angles seemed to be illuminated by blue light, making them shine even brighter.

Until Luca pushes the joystick to its maximum.

"Om~"

After a barely perceptible chirping sound.

Countless tiny, pale blue particles suddenly appeared around the entire cylindrical device. As these particles increased, the few lights that were simply connected around it seemed to be powered on and immediately became bright.

The already fairly bright laboratory was immediately illuminated by a blinding white light.

"Oh dear, my eyes!"

Luca, who had been completely focused, exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly turned the joystick back off.

However, filled with the joy of success, he didn't care about his eyes being blinded by the light.

Rubbing his eyes, he forced them open and carefully looked at the cylindrical machine in front of him.

Or you could call it—the Magic Solar Furnace!

"Hehe, I finally succeeded! I really am a genius!"

Yes, the experiment just now was the creation of the solar furnace that Luca had been longing for.

However, compared to the original standard solar furnace, what Luca created this time was actually the magical version of the solar furnace that he and Tony had previously perfected.

Previously, in order to reliably power the Gates of Hell, Luca had forcibly added a drive shell similar to a solar furnace to the 'Crimson Cloak' that he had seized from Justin Hammer.

After receiving Tony's suggestions for improvement, Luca disassembled and studied the now largely useless [H-28Q Advanced Turret].

This led to the 'modified solar furnace' with 'Hextech Crystal' as its core.

However, what it releases is not the original 'GN particle', but rather a magical particle made of Hextech energy.

Fortunately, through adjustments to the modified GN Drive and in conjunction with the equally modified GN Particle Engine, Hextech Magic Particles can essentially achieve all the functions of the original GN Drive. However, while the original green particle energy core was called the GN Drive, the current modified version might be more appropriately called the Hex Particle Drive.

"HN particle, Hextech nucleus particle? That name sounds pretty good~"

Luca, whose eyesight had gradually recovered, looked at the 'Hextech Engine' in front of him with great satisfaction, wishing he could immediately install it on his mech for testing.

Unfortunately, Luca's [Boxer] mech, which he has been busy working on since the last nuclear explosion, is still not repaired.

Even if we really wanted to test it on a real machine, we didn't have a platform.

'However, since the HN reactor has just been created, the Boxer can be redesigned and upgraded according to the Gundam's blueprints. Plus, with the Boxer's ability to inherit concept attributes, we might even be able to add some technology brought back from the Devil May Cry world this time!'

'It's a pity there are only two Hextech Crystals. I wonder if I'll have another chance to craft more Hextech items.'

The 'Hex Engine' or 'HN Solar Furnace' that Luca is currently manufacturing is actually a semi-perpetual motion energy device, just like the original solar furnace.

As long as the energy of the Hextech Dimension is not drained, this engine can continue to run at full capacity.

Luca's life has improved, and he has become the second being, after the Kamar-Taj sorcerers, to use Hextech energy.

Unfortunately, two Hextech Crystals mean that Luca can only manufacture a maximum of two HN Solar Furnaces.

Although, using this engine as a template, Luca can also replace 'Hextech Crystals' with 'Demon Materials' or 'Magic Weapons'.

However, in this case, the engine itself will not possess the characteristics of 'semi-perpetual energy'.

After all, no one would care if someone were to recklessly drain energy from the Hextech Dimension, but recklessly draining energy from the Hell Dimension...
"Um, it shouldn't be a big problem?"

However, while Luca was happily playing with the 'HN Solar Furnace' he had created, and even preparing to handcraft an 'HN Light Gun, Lightsaber' or something similar for further testing,

Sherry waited outside the door, completely ignored by him.

But after confirming that Luca's experiment had come to a temporary end, she carried the somewhat bulky incubator and strode towards him.

At this moment, Luca, who had finally recovered from his previous tense and excited state, naturally noticed the sound of Shirley's high heels.

He immediately turned around and looked at the other person with a slightly puzzled expression.

"Huh, Sherry?"

"Didn't you say you were going to have results soon and that I shouldn't bother you for now? Wait! Is your APTX4869 finished?"

Upon realizing what was happening, Luca's face immediately lit up with surprise.

Uh, okay.

Although 'APTX4869' wouldn't be of much use to him, Shirley had been researching it for so long, and if it really worked, Luca would still like to find an unlucky person to test its effects.

However, after hearing Luca's question, Sherry gave a mysterious smile.

Immediately afterwards, he placed the incubator in his hand directly on the test table, pushed aside the other miscellaneous tools, and opened it in front of Luca.

Luca then realized this.

Inside this ordinary medical incubator were three items.

A pill similar to a cold capsule.

A white pill that looks like a candy ball.

The last one was a metal syringe filled with a translucent red liquid.

Most importantly, this translucent metal syringe containing the medicine was emitting that familiar white light!
