Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 381 Sound Dream
Ordinary people may not have a clear concept of the number 1500 meters.

Give a few examples.

The Beijing National Stadium (Bird's Nest) is 333 meters long, the Stark Tower is 347 meters high, and the tallest building in China, the Shanghai Tower, is 632 meters high.

Now, Luca needs to build a humanoid mechanical skeleton that is 1500 meters long and has a certain ability to transform.

It's important to understand that this isn't a simple, fixed structure made of reinforced concrete, nor is it something that can be completed simply by fenced off a piece of land and piling up a human-shaped iron frame on the ground.

This involves issues such as material strength, mechanical structure, deformation and torsion, and core drive. Each of these issues alone would be enough to make the entire scientific research team of an industrial power scratch their heads and painstakingly study for more than a decade.

Based on Luca's understanding of his own cheat ability, to pass the judgment, the 'transformation ability' must at least mean that the mechanical skeleton's arms and legs have a certain degree of folding and mobility.

This essentially means that the machine he created must have the driving force to lift, move, and lower the entire 'Shanghai Tower', while ensuring that there are no serious structural damages or breakages at the joints.

The design blueprints alone were enough to drive Luca, who had access to Hakimi's massive computing power, crazy.

He found it hard to imagine how, according to the original setting of 'Macross,' those humans on Earth who were still around 2000 years old had accomplished such an incredible feat.

"As I recall, when the SDF-1 first took off, its internal anti-gravity engines tore apart the mothership's fuselage and propelled it into space, achieving complete freedom, right?"

'With such material strength, how did they manage to achieve deformation without damage?'

Left with no other choice, Luca had to resort to using magic to defeat magic.

According to his design, the entire deformable frame is made of high-strength E-carbon, with hundreds of solar furnaces embedded throughout the frame to drive the deformation.

While relying on the solar furnace to enhance the strength of E-carbon itself, it also takes advantage of the unscientific ability of diffused GN particles to reduce the weight of the fuselage, forcibly pushing the fuselage to undergo structural deformation.

Since in the original Gundam 00 universe, only 4 GN Drives were used to propel a spaceship like the 'Ptolemy', which is nearly 300 meters long, at high speeds.

If Luca multiplied that number tenfold, even if it was a knock-off 'Hellfire Pseudo-Furnace,' making the 'slightly larger' fuselage frame move a little bit shouldn't be a problem, right?
Well, at least theoretically there should still be a chance of success.
Of course, it takes a long time to go from theory to blueprints and then to actual construction.

At least for now, within the military restricted area where Luca is located, the number of various types of Haro engineering machinery has unknowingly increased to tens of thousands.

Even so, the overall progress of the deformable skeleton is only barely more than half completed.

Looking at the massive magic array in the valley, nearly three thousand meters in diameter, Luca shook his head again.

Think back to 'Avengers: Age of Ultron,' where Ultron, with only a small amount of vibranium, managed to send the 6.4-kilometer-diameter city center of Sokovia into the air in just a few days.
'The gap between me and Tony is really huge.'

However, Luca's decision to expend so much effort preparing to synthesize the [SDF-1] hyperspace fortress was not simply about acquiring a spaceship.

The main attraction is the fortress itself, with its thermonuclear power engine matrix, large-scale anti-gravity system, and hyperspace teleportation device. Any one of these features alone is incredibly enticing.

The giant particle cannon, which forms the core of the fortress, is capable of firing a terrifying beam attack that is 190,000 kilometers long and 3.2 kilometers wide, capable of penetrating the entire Earth with plenty of room to spare.

Given these resources, it wouldn't matter if Luca was completely incapable of synthesizing them, but since he had the opportunity, he had to try his best, even if it meant selling everything he owned. Moreover, in the past year, aside from continuously providing material support to the dimensional battlefield, Luca didn't have any particularly urgent research projects, so he naturally didn't mind spending more energy on this highly promising project.

Even setting aside the synthesis, the progress of these preparatory works alone will allow him to further integrate the various technologies at hand.

"As far as I remember, the first Macross was a product of the combination of human technology and Zentradi gunboats; there might have been room for further upgrades and modifications after it was created."

"If they actually manage to build a super battleship, I'll use it as a mothership and sail it straight into hell to blast those demon scum to smithereens!"

While Luca was lost in his own fantasies...

A black-haired girl, who looked only eight or nine years old and seemed to have just woken up, wearing an ill-fitting black robe, appeared silently in front of Luca like a ghost, carrying a large stack of documents.

"Lord Luca, this is the work you need to do today."

The sudden appearance of the girl's voice instantly shattered Luca's fantasy of the warship's powerful cannons.

Upon hearing the sound, Luca immediately showed a hint of helplessness on his face.

"Yinmeng, didn't we agree to leave all the work for the evening? And all this stuff you've got, it's not all work-related, is it?"

The little girl, whom Luca called Yinmeng, did not change her expression at all upon hearing this, and answered in her usual serious manner.

"Sir, you still need to attend a banquet hosted by the New American diplomatic corps tonight. Moreover, these aren't just documents you need to sign today; there are also those you turned down yesterday, those left over from the day before yesterday, and those from the day before that."

"Stop, stop, stop"

Seeing that the girl wanted to continue speaking, Luca quickly interrupted her, then rubbed his temples with a slight headache and muttered a complaint.

"I've really struck gold by hiring you as my secretary."

That's right, the little girl in front of you, who is only seven or eight years old, is none other than Luca's current secretary, Yinmeng!
Nemuru herself is not an ordinary human, but an artificial human accidentally created by Luca.
[Sleep No. 8]
Yes, Sleep No. 8.

Although named 'Nemu' by Luca, she is not the same person as 'Nemuro No. 7' created by Mayuri Kurotsuchi in the original Bleach manga. Instead, she is a new individual that Mayuri Kurotsuchi re-cultivated using the same technology after Nemu No. 7 died.

However, since Luca only synthesized a smaller version of [Sleep No. 8], although it possessed outstanding talent and relatively good combat power, it did not have much knowledge or scientific research capabilities.

Luca decided to keep her by his side and train her as a mascot-like secretary, naming her 'Otomu'.

"Alright, stop pouting. I'll finish reading these documents now."

"Besides these, what else? You didn't come all this way just for these jobs, did you?"
