Chapter 152 - White Knight Enhancement

Of course, the Freeze Gun requires more than just this coolant.

There's the compression and spray system, battery power source, temperature regulation and safety controls, and related jet diffusion and ice-forming technology.

Victor had already taught Qingshui all of this, and Qingshui personally manufactured the finished product.

Once the coolant was ready, Qingshui used a syringe to inject it into the Freeze Gun he had made.

"Want to see how it works?"

Victor pushed up his glasses and said to Qingshui.

Qingshui nodded, inserted a high-energy battery into the Freeze Gun, and aimed it at a dummy on the other side.

He twisted the knob on the gun with his left hand, disengaging the safety and adjusting the power. A dazzling blue light immediately gathered at the muzzle, then transformed into a freezing ray that struck the dummy.

In an instant, the dummy turned into a large block of ice. Even from over ten meters away, the chill emanating from it was easily felt.

A smile appeared on Qingshui's face as he attached the end of the freezing gun to the White Knight's right arm interface.

The White Knight had been enhanced once again.

[Puppet Name]: White Knight

[Overall Parameters]:

Height: 2.02 meters

Weight: 139.95 kilograms

Material: Lightweight alloy, composite fiber, Graphene-Enhanced Elastomer...

Energy: None

Operation Method: Chakra Threads

[Puppet Rating]: A (S)

[Overall Evaluation]: Armored combat Puppet, a semi-intelligent product of high integration between modern engineering and Puppetry, an excellent Puppet with both speed and power. Possesses immense close-quarters combat power, equipped with heavy firepower and freezing devices. When combined with its operator, it will unleash even greater power depending on the operator's combat ability. With certain superpowers and additional components, it can achieve flight.

Note: When activating the Speed Force accessory in the Promethium dagger, the White Knight's speed will be greatly enhanced, but its durability will rapidly decrease. This function will be unavailable once the Speed Force is depleted, until it is recharged. When this function is enabled simultaneously with the freezing device, its effect is significantly reduced.

The White Knight's lower limit of combat power had noticeably increased.

However, the freezing device seemed incompatible with the Speed Force.

Before Qingshui could even formulate a question, Victor spoke, "It's best not to use the freezing device when you activate the Speed Force in the suit. When the temperature drops drastically to near absolute zero, molecular motion slows significantly. Whether it's the Speed Force or any other ability, unless the temperature can be raised back up, everything will slow down dramatically.

"Even if the speed remains high, the almost non-existent air resistance and friction caused by the slowing molecular motion will lead to an imbalance in balance and acceleration. You can imagine what would happen if a vehicle moving at high speed suddenly lost its balance, especially since you don't possess the reaction time of other speedsters."

Qingshui frowned slightly.

"Then, could we install some heating devices in the joints of the suit?"

"You could, but they would mostly serve to protect yourself, or to prevent critical parts from freezing and jamming when the freezing device is active. If you wanted to counteract the effect of molecular motion caused by using the freezing device, the high temperatures generated would likely scald you to death first."

Mr. Freeze thought for a moment before replying.

That was a shame.

After installing resistance heaters in certain parts of the White Knight and applying low-melting-point antifreeze lubricant to the joints, Qingshui and Mr. Freeze went down to the next level of the laboratory.

A giant several meters tall was bound to a table by thick chains, his eyes wide open. His body had been dissected, and many metal components were connected inside him.

In a glass cabinet beside him, a blue-glowing heart was displayed.

"Solomon Grundy's prefrontal lobe has been removed and blocked with carbon alloy plates, but it's uncertain if it will recover in that area after he revives. My idea is to use Cryo-Gel made from the coolant to freeze his prefrontal lobe and install a temperature control system in his brain. As long as the Cryo-Gel doesn't thaw, he will absolutely not regain self-awareness.

"And if the Cryo-Gel loses its effect, with the carbon alloy plates blocking it, he won't immediately regain consciousness. We just need to install an alarm and a controllable fallback, and we can perfectly turn this big guy into our Puppet."

Qingshui pointed at Solomon Grundy's head and said to Mr. Freeze.

"Cryo-Gel is simple; just add some gelling agent to the coolant. As for the fallback, that's even simpler. Layer gunpowder and coolant into a grenade. When the gunpowder explodes, the coolant will be dispersed by the shockwave, directly freezing him from the inside."

Qingshui's eyes lit up.

A great idea!

"This kind of Ice Bomb could also be made into a conventional weapon. If there's enough gunpowder and coolant..."

"Then the power would be enough to freeze a section of a large river, blocking the flow, but Batman would also come knocking."

Mr. Freeze interjected, clearly referencing some of his past experiences.

Qingshui shrugged and immediately had someone bring the necessary materials to perform the final modification on Solomon Grundy.

He sealed the prefrontal lobe with Cryo-Gel and added a temperature control system connected to Solomon Grundy's heart.

Qingshui planned to follow Penguin's method and revive Solomon Grundy using high-intensity electricity.

At that point, his heart would be a super-sized battery, and the temperature control system could directly draw power from Solomon Grundy's heart to sustain itself.

Finally, placing a remote-controlled Ice Bomb, which could be activated by a switch in Solomon Grundy's mouth, on one side of his heart would complete the modification.

If Solomon Grundy ever went out of control and enemies used devices like electromagnetic interference to block the remote, Qingshui could still activate the Ice Bomb via Chakra Threads.

In addition, Victor and Qingshui had also restored the technology from the Mechanical Samurai confiscated in Central City onto Solomon Grundy, allowing him to be remotely controlled in combat.

Of course, remote control could still be physically blocked, meaning that if Qingshui's Chakra Threads and the remote signal were simultaneously vying for control, Qingshui could instantly override the remote.

"So... what's next..."

Wearing white gloves, Qingshui took the lightning-glowing heart from the glass cabinet and placed it into the opening in Solomon Grundy's chest, then pressed a switch nearby.

The surrounding floor rapidly descended to the next level by means of an elevator.
