Qingshui ignored the Nichirin Blade.
The blackened Nichirin Blade wasn't suited for him; it was meant for users of Sun Breathing. After being re-forged, it could be used by Tanjiro or even by Rengoku Kyojuro, who had barely learned a few techniques of Sun Breathing.
"The gears are worn out, the replacement spring isn't calibrated correctly, and the connecting rod is loose, causing slow hand movements. The joints and bearings also need maintenance and replacement."
With Kotetsu watching him with a puzzled expression, Qingshui reassembled Yoriichi Type Zero and then sat down at a nearby table, resting his chin on his hand, lost in thought.
At that moment, Qingshui was brainstorming while looking at the data on the panel.
[Puppet Name]: Yoriichi Type Zero
[Overall Parameters]:
Height: 1.93 meters
Weight: 522.33 kilograms
Material: Forged steel, reinforced wood...
Energy Source: Mechanism
Operation Method: None
[Puppet Rating]: B+ (A-)
[Overall Evaluation]: A humanoid puppet modeled after a particularly powerful swordsman, it boasts impressive combat capabilities and is nearly the pinnacle of ancient mechanical craftsmanship. Its drawbacks are its excessive weight, making it difficult to move, and its performance has declined due to years of neglect.
On the panel, Qingshui quickly modified the model of Yoriichi Type Zero and began a trial run.
Kotetsu wanted to call out to Qingshui but was stopped by Haganezuka Kozo, who shook his head.
He could tell that Qingshui was deep in thought.
Not knowing how long Qingshui would take, Haganezuka Kozo discussed with the village chief, who used his eyes to roughly gauge Qingshui's height before leaving.
He was going to forge a new Nichirin Blade for Qingshui and Kanroji Mitsuri, leaving things in the care of Haganezuka Kozo for the time being.
After a while, Qingshui finally came out of his thoughts and called for Kotetsu, asking for paper and a pen to start sketching.
The reason for the delay was that Qingshui had devoted most of his energy to understanding some of the intricate structures involved.
The Puppetry in the Naruto World was quite different from here. Influenced by Chakra, the puppets there were designed to maximize stats, with the specific manipulation relying entirely on the skills of the Puppet Master.
In contrast, here, they utilized the purest principles of physics to the fullest. The intricacy of the design was such that even Qingshui felt he had gained a lot from observing it.
"Swish, swish... swish, swish, swish."
The pencil moved quickly across the paper.
Kotetsu tiptoed to see the designs Qingshui was sketching and was taken aback.
The Li Hashira was actually restoring the missing parts of Yoriichi Type Zero.
Soon, Qingshui picked up a new sheet of white paper and began drawing again.
This time, the design was about seventy percent similar to the previous one.
Qingshui had received inspiration, trying to replicate some of the intricate mechanisms from Yoriichi Type Zero, while combining what he learned from the Naruto World's Puppetry to create a new puppet.
With this puppet under his control, its overall combat power would definitely surpass that of Yoriichi Type Zero.
Moreover, Qingshui wouldn't need to replicate the six arms like that swordsmith from three hundred years ago to restore the techniques.
That was because the puppet's performance was limited by the materials and power source, forcing such a solution.
At this early twentieth-century point, human industrialization had reached a certain level, and the variety of materials and tools had a significant gap compared to three hundred years ago.
Qingshui could create a more efficient Yoriichi Type Zero puppet, and if he also incorporated Chakra Threads in its manipulation, its combat power would far exceed the original version.
"Haganezuka-senpai, could you help me fabricate these parts according to the quantities? Besides replacing some components of Yoriichi Type Zero, I also want to try improving it to create a stronger new puppet."
Qingshui handed the two design blueprints to Haganezuka Kozo.
"Hmm... Although it's quite complex, aside from the village chief, my craftsmanship is among the best in the village, and since things aren't too busy lately, I can call on Steel Tomb Hikari. We should be able to complete it within three days."
Haganezuka Kozo examined the components on the blueprints.
Qingshui nodded slightly.
In truth, these were just a portion of the components.
The most complex parts, he planned to create using his own hand-built machine tools.
In three days, he should be able to repair Yoriichi Type Zero and create Yoriichi Type One.
"Well then, I appreciate your help."
...
...
Haganezuka Kozo's progress was much faster than expected.
In just two days, all the parts were completed.
Qingshui's progress was also nearly finished.
"Crack!"
With the left arm installed, Yoriichi Type One was nearly complete.
Yoriichi Type Zero, on the other hand, was brought to the center of the yard by Kotetsu, who tirelessly controlled it to perform various movements.
After the repairs, Yoriichi Type Zero had stabilized at a puppet level of A- and could sustain complete combat for up to half an hour.
As for Yoriichi Type One...
Qingshui stuffed two bullet packs into a slot in the left arm, nodding in satisfaction.
[Puppet Name]: Yoriichi Type One
[Overall Parameters]:
Height: 1.93 meters
Weight: 533.63 kilograms
Material: Refined steel, reinforced wood...
Energy: None (mechanical)
Control Method: Chakra Threads
[Puppet Rating]: A- (A)
[Overall Evaluation]: A humanoid puppet modeled after an exceptionally powerful swordsman, with impressive power. It combines exquisite ancient mechanical craftsmanship and Puppetry, enhanced with firearms, demonstrating formidable combat capabilities. Even without using Chakra Threads, it can still exhibit a certain level of combat effectiveness according to its fixed mechanical program.
After conducting a final check on the muzzle of Yoriichi Type One's left arm, Qingshui nodded in satisfaction and synced the memories with the main body and the Avatar in the DC Universe.
This time, he learned a lot from Yoriichi Type Zero.
The fundamental rules of physics were clear and unchanging, containing many technical constructions that could be integrated into the White Knight and Big Ivan, elevating the overall performance of these two puppets.
Looking at the tall, red-haired puppet warrior before him, Qingshui hung the specially prepared earrings on it and draped a red ancient long coat over its shoulders.
"Hmm, nice. I wonder how that Scum Boss will react when he sees Yoriichi Type One?"
Qingshui stroked his chin, imagining as he shifted his gaze to the sword held in Yoriichi Type One's hand.
"Tap."
The button on the back of Yoriichi Type One's right hand was pressed by Qingshui, and the hidden battery quickly directed current to the Nichirin Blade.
As time passed, the current heated up, and the Nichirin Blade soon turned red.
"Very good, now it's truly a hundred percent restored."
A faint smile curved Qingshui's lips.
Meanwhile, just a mountain away from Swordsmith Village, a beautifully crafted porcelain jar rolled down to a tree
