Chapter 310 [The Tactical Black Box]
[Tactical Transformation Black Box]

One-Punch Man World 2/5

[Creator: Geralt]

[Core Component: Pandora Imitation]

[Crafting materials: 1 box of shogi pieces]

[Item Description: Drive Knight, an S-class hero, is a weapon he created by destroying robots built by Metal Knight and collecting their parts. Its initial 'Step' form is simply a black box with long-range flight capabilities, but the weapon's design incorporates elements of shogi (Japanese chess), allowing it to transform into various weapon and mecha forms depending on the user's control.]

[Friendly reminder: This weapon was created by the manufacturer through mechanical modifications to his own body; ordinary people cannot use it normally.]

Looking at the pop-up cheat panel, Luca wasn't really surprised.

The moment the weapon was completed and emitted a white light, Luca vaguely guessed that it might be the weapon of Drive Knight from One-Punch Man.

There's no way around it; the two are just too similar in both design and function.

Even the 'fake Pandora' that Luca created himself has a 'warframe mode'.

The fact that the 'synthetic consumables' are simplified to just one box of shogi pieces is quite telling; clearly, in the judgment of the cheat code, the two are extremely similar.

just
"Could this synthesis be considered an enhancement?"

Luca glanced at the last 'friendly reminder' on the panel and scratched his head for a moment.

Although the item hasn't been synthesized yet, based on Luca's judgment...

Judging solely from the weapon's power, 'Drive Knight' is considered a high-end fighter in the world of One-Punch Man, where the power ceiling is extremely high.

The core weapon he uses is likely to be slightly more powerful than the 'Pandora 1.0' created by Luca.

The key point is that even Luca himself probably wouldn't be able to use this thing properly after it's been synthesized.

The previous [magic orb] at least restricted the user to be an intelligent life form.

This time, however, it simply requires cyborgs that have undergone mechanical modifications in conjunction with weapons.

It's worth noting that Luca originally intended for Mikoto, a Kage-level ninja, to operate the 'Pandora 1.0' system he created.

The main issue is that during the weapon manufacturing process, Luca discovered that the "black box" of the main body was getting bigger and bigger.

Unlike the [Tactical Black Box], it doesn't have a thruster attached to the box, allowing it to be summoned remotely.

Others who want to use it will probably have to rely on a [dehydration gun] to compress it once, which is not convenient to recycle.

On the contrary, Si Bei is strong enough and has the ability to summon objects remotely, which makes him more flexible in actual combat.

For this reason, the weapon forms that Luca added to 'Pandora 1.0' were all ninja weapons specifically modified for the fighting style of the Si Cup.

But now this [tactical black box]
'It wouldn't be good to give Si Bei another mechanical modification, would it? Knowing his personality, he might not mind too much, but that might not necessarily enhance his combat power.'

The thought flashed through Luca's mind for a moment before he immediately dismissed it.

Even if he really wanted to create a cyborg, there was absolutely no need for Sibei to sacrifice himself.

Moreover, Luca's actual human-machine integration modification technology isn't that strong, so it's clearly unrealistic to expect to 'boost' his attributes all at once and create a cyborg like Drive Knight. "Forget it, let's synthesize it first. It won't take much effort to recreate Pandora."

"Although we need to adjust the scheme for certain demon materials, there are still many areas in version 1.0 that can be further optimized. Let's just consider it as accumulating experience."

With that in mind, Luca didn't delay any longer. He first conducted a general test to verify all the functions of 'Pandora 1.0', and then found a cup to actually experience it, providing a lot of feedback, which he recorded and organized one by one.

After that, I randomly selected a machine and used 3D printing to make only a set of plastic shogi, thus synthesizing the [tactical black box].

Organize the instruments, perform scanning and testing, and attempt activation.
After a busy day, Luca looked at the densely packed data about the [Tactical Black Box] on the virtual platform with some surprise.

'This... it actually uses nanotechnology in some parts? But combined with deformable metal, they've already achieved this level of sophistication!'

At this point, the metal black box, which was originally more than half a person tall, had been transformed into a large pile of fragmented components, covering the entire laboratory floor.

At first, Luca was a little hesitant and reluctant to disassemble the prop.

I'm afraid that after disassembling it, I won't be able to put it back together, or that after putting it back together, I'll inexplicably end up with a bunch of extra parts.

To this end, Luca even temporarily recalled Vision, who was still assisting the Avengers in rebuilding New York, and had Vision use his illusory abilities to 'drill into' the [tactical black box] to analyze the structural data.

However, as he gradually learned about the weapon, driven by an irrepressible desire to explore, Luca simply handcrafted an electromagnetic activation device.

Force it to start directly and decompose it into 'developer mode'.

While this method cannot be used in actual combat, it is extremely convenient for repair and upgrades, or for understanding the technology involved.

'Unfortunately, there's nothing particularly noteworthy about its energy source; it seems they'll have to rely on the energy of the modified humans themselves to generate power.'

'However, this deformable metal possesses such strength, with its independent, split magnetic induction structure! Such high energy conduction efficiency!'

'Tsk tsk, this is all so fancy! Just copy Genos and use a single incineration cannon to deplete your energy; even a Dragon-level monster could be instantly killed, right?'

'Using it fully is a bit difficult, but if I'm just modifying one arm and using the Mind Stone as energy, forget it. What would I need this thing for? I'd rather see where I can use it to upgrade Pandora!'

Once again, Luca's eyes lit up with joy at the new technology, completely oblivious to the passage of time.

Even her daily phone calls with Gwen have become somewhat perfunctory, making the girl in America quite angry lately.

However, it was precisely because of this focused research that the development and manufacturing of 'Pandora 2.0' was soon nearing completion.

However, while Luca was still finishing up some work, the Kamar-Taj sorcerers came to him again.

"Mr. Orange, the Ancient One sent me to inform you that demons have discovered the dimensional battlefield!"

"So fast?"

"Yes, what the Ancient One means is that although it cannot be ruled out that it was just a coincidence that a demon discovered the projection area of ​​the Hell dimension, she still hopes that you can make preparations as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Luca frowned slightly, then turned to the screen beside him and asked in a deep voice.

"Hakimi, how many of the sub-base vehicles have been built so far?"
