The latter, in the Marvel universe, is an aerospace-grade material with extremely strong properties. Only Stark Industries has the capability to produce it, and even then, it's limited annually due to manufacturing difficulties, high cost, high complexity, and a lengthy process.
This strong performance isn't just in hardness; it also exhibits resistance to extreme environments like high temperatures and corrosion. The most extraordinary aspect is its exceptional energy absorption.
Machine gun bullets would only leave scratches and chipped paint, and a rocket would only leave a shallow crater at the center of the explosion.
While this energy absorption might not compare to extraordinary metals like Vibranium or Promethium, it's already far beyond what ordinary metals can achieve.
It possesses a hardness close to diamond and energy absorption capabilities far exceeding ceramic composites. Aside from its high price, it has virtually no downsides, making it almost a lower-tier substitute for Vibranium.
Similarly, even if the price of this alloy isn't as exaggerated as Vibranium, it still reaches a level beyond normal imagination, with its price per unit weight exceeding that of gold.
The amount Mencken obtained for Qingshui was neither too much nor too little.
If built to the White Knight's specifications, over half of the main body could be made from this material.
However, compared to the original White Knight, the current White Knight's internal components have undergone significant upgrades and replacements as Qingshui's mastery of technology has improved, resulting in a more complex internal structure.
"The armor's exterior can be plated with a layer of Gold-Titanium Alloy, and the internal shock-absorbing woven layer will still use Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Fiber. The High-Voltage Electric Sword, Freeze Gun, and Fear Toxin all meet the preparation conditions.
As for the Hall Thruster and energy cannon, they can be made, albeit barely. However, their power is limited by the energy source. I haven't fully grasped Lex Luthor's graphene battery technology yet, so I can only try to convert my own Lightning Release Chakra. This counts as a Lightning Release Ninjutsu that doesn't require hand seals, but currently, the Chakra in this body isn't abundant enough to sustain prolonged use.
So, it seems conventional weapons are still essential; I should try to reduce the frequency of energy cannon use. Fortunately, Osborn Corporation has many high-end weapons..."
For a full week, aside from necessary rest and meals, Qingshui only took some time each day to briefly follow external news and guide the work of the new energy vehicle department.
The day after Tony Stark's racing incident, Pepper Potts sent over the documents signed by Tony, initiating the cooperation between the two large corporations. They were currently in the preliminary discussion phase.
A week later.
Inside Qingshui's private high-end laboratory.
"Just one more step."
Qingshui looked at the shimmering silver metal Puppet before him. He extended his left hand, and with a flick of Chakra Threads, he disassembled the Puppet into several modules that floated in the air, finally arranging them neatly on the metal table in front.
In fact, this Puppet was already a complete Puppet. After it was built, Qingshui even tested it in the underground garage, just as he had tested the White Knight, giving it a flight.
Because the avatar in the Marvel world doesn't have Airflow Manipulation abilities, it can only rely on the Hall Thruster for flight, with most of the energy coming from Qingshui's Lightning Release Chakra. Therefore, when flying, the thrusters on the Puppet's legs, shoulders, back, and hands would emit dazzling Electrolight.
Thus, Qingshui named this Puppet "Electrolight."
Although its functions were largely similar to the White Knight without Promethium or the Speed Force Dagger, and it was even slightly inferior to the White Knight in terms of energy cannons, Qingshui also planned to add a feature to Electrolight that he had never implemented on any other Puppet before.
He extended his thumb, pricked it with his teeth, drawing a drop of bright red blood.
Qingshui dripped quite a bit of blood into the beaker placed on the table.
He intended to engrave Summoning Jutsu seals on certain parts of these Puppet components.
Ordinary Puppets are usually sealed into a Sealing Scroll for transport. However, some more valuable Puppets, such as the Chikamatsu Collection, have engraved sealing runes for Summoning Jutsu within them, to prevent them from falling into enemy hands if they are damaged and cannot be retrieved during a retreat.
The Seven Ninja Blades of the Mist Hidden also have such a failsafe. In the original timeline, during the Fourth Great Ninja War, Hozuki Mangetsu summoned most of the Ninja Blades. Only Greatsword Samehada, in Killer B's possession, and Twin Swords Hiramekarei, in Chojuro's possession, were not summoned.
In the past, limited by his Sealing Jutsu skills, Qingshui couldn't create such Summoning Scrolls on his own. However, now that he had absorbed some of the Sealing Jutsu knowledge from Konoha, he had mastered the relevant techniques.
It was just that there was a lack of suitable materials with high Chakra conductivity here, so Qingshui had to use his own blood mixed with ink as the material for engraving.
But this also had an advantage: when Qingshui himself summoned the Puppets, the difficulty would be greatly reduced, and only he would be able to summon them.
To ensure these items could be passed down, the Five Great Ninja Villages made these summoning seals two-way: the Ninja Blades and Puppets had seals, and another layer of seals was on the scroll itself.
For Qingshui, it was much simpler; he only needed to ensure he could use them.
Like a ninja summoning a Summoning Beast, only a little blood as a medium was needed, and he didn't even have to sign with blood on the summoning scroll like in the Three Great Holy Lands.
That was for one-to-many summoning, where one Summoning Beast from the Holy Land could be summoned by multiple humans who had signed a contract, and one human could also summon multiple Summoning Beasts from the Holy Land.
In other words, the summoning scroll essentially acted like an early telephone switchboard, while Qingshui only needed a single, direct connection.
Soon, a tattoo of the character "One" appeared on Qingshui's wrist, surrounded by patterns forming a circle.
"Excellent."
Qingshui looked at his left wrist with satisfaction, then, using the remaining trace of blood on his fingers, he formed hand seals and performed a Ninjutsu.
"*Summoning Jutsu!*"
A puff of white smoke appeared, and the Puppet components on the table vanished.
A few seconds later, the white smoke dissipated, and Qingshui was wearing his new Puppet battle suit.

[Overall Evaluation]: Armored combat puppet, an intelligent product of the high integration of modern engineering and Puppetry. Equipped with heavy firepower and freezing devices, high-energy weapons and thrusters. Excellent defensive capabilities, with spatial summoning ability.
Not bad at all, Qingshui mused to himself.
The main differences between Electrolight and the White Knight were in defensive capabilities and energy weapons.
