Luke Field waited until Raleigh Beckett and his team set out two days later, but he still didn't see the wormhole close. When the dimensional energy engulfed him, he had already returned to his secluded laboratory.
He looked at the date on the clock on the wall and saw that it had been less than five days since he left.
If the memories and technology in his head were not still so profound and real, Luke Field would have felt that he was just dreaming.
The intelligent system of the secluded laboratory discovered the return of its master and began to become active from silence. Various types of robots roaming around added a bit of vitality to the cold and quiet laboratory.
The door to the lounge opened.
Loyal Rude, like a large, living dog, lay on the ground with his paws folded and his head pressed on top, motionless, guarding the lounge door. Seeing Luke Field walk out of the lounge, he immediately stood up, approached, lowered his head, and wagged his metal tail.
"Excellent! Lift the maximum security regulations. Tell Ina that my retreat is over." Luke Field rubbed Rude's big metal head. Thinking of the mechanical axe head he had left behind in Pacific Rim and whose control had been transferred to Shao Zhiwen, he couldn't help but rub it a few more times. He hoped Shao Zhiwen would take good care of it.
Luke pulled a chair over and sat down, closing his eyes and letting his mind wander. He wanted to see what he had gained this time.
"You have completed the unlocking task."
"You have met the unlocking conditions."
"Your talent card: Maker Luke's attributes have been updated."
"You got two hundred and forty flop draws."
"You have obtained a large amount of gold coins."
"You have obtained the manufacturing diagram fragment of [Luke's False Body·Light] {3/5}"
A long-lost series of reminders rang rapidly in Luke Field's mind. Luke brushed them aside. What he cared about now was the attributes of his updated talent card.
[Talent Card: Maker Luke
1. Mechanical Affinity: S+-? ? ? {The empty mechanical throne, you are its only monarch} can be grown
2. Manufacturing Mastery: A - ??? {You have an innate talent for manufacturing that can transform decay into something magical} Can be grown
3. Transformation: B-? ? ? {You have the ability to transform a certain attribute into another opposing attribute and can give it to your own creations} Unlocked, can grow
4. Concept Extraction: {You can extract certain conceptual rules and transform them into technology to be reflected in your mechanical creations} Unlockable
Passive: Silent Earthtender {You possess incredibly powerful and unreasonable crafting abilities}
Description: The creator Luke is dead, but the technology of Hebron will live forever.
Luke Field was pleasantly surprised to see that the concept extraction talent was unlockable. He clicked on it impatiently, but there was no response.
Is there a cooldown period for unlocking tasks? I just unlocked one, but can't immediately unlock the next one?
At this moment, Luke Field actually hoped that his system would not be so silent, and be as considerate as the systems of his predecessors, so that it could give him a detailed explanation for his confusion, instead of being silent like a dead object.
After trying several times, Luke Field finally gave up temporarily and turned his attention to the newly unlocked talent.
[Transformation and Empowerment: You possess the ability to transform one attribute into another, and can bestow this upon your creations. You possess unparalleled talent in energy technology. You are the master of both light and darkness.]
The paraphrase is simple, but Luke Field is satisfied with it.
He had even begun to conceive of the various applications of this talent. The technological side was self-explanatory, but what about the magical side? When he could transform the powers of other dimensional demons like Dormammu, Sithorn, and Cyttorak into pure, harmless mage energy, could the Ancient One refuse?
Since we are fleecing the dimensional demon, why don't all mages fleece him together!
Of course, there are still some limitations on conversion efficiency! As someone who has been influenced by my parents and partner Ina Sandra in this world, is it okay to lean towards the capitalist mindset?
We can squeeze out the 1.0 version first, then release a small amount of the 1.0MAX version. Elite support customization. Mages who want more powerful conversion equipment will have to pay more.
After all, it is a monopoly business and exclusive technology.
Of course, Luke Field knew there would be numerous complications, difficulties, and unexpected events. But it was ultimately a path forward in technological application. Furthermore, without sufficient self-protection capabilities, Luke Field didn't want to be too conspicuous in front of the big guys and attract their hatred.
As for how to acquire a certain level of self-protection, it was naturally to utilize the technology acquired this time to expand and arm oneself as much as possible. If one could hide a few hidden cards, that would naturally be even better. For example, Luke Field's gaze fell on another reward in his mind.
[Luke's fake body·Light] manufacturing diagram [3X5].
Although the manufacturing diagram was incomplete, it didn't prevent Luke Field from applying some of the techniques within. Especially the energy technology, which was just a bit troublesome for him who had just unlocked a new talent, and it only took a little more time.
Without the incomplete schematics for Luke's False Body: Light, if Luke Field wanted to pursue the energy path, the best path would naturally be his accumulated nuclear fusion technology. Coupled with Luke's talent as the creator, without constraints and the full support of the entire planet, with his current technological accumulation and upgraded talent, he could even directly harness stellar energy to achieve something truly extraordinary.
But with the incomplete schematics for Luke's alter ego, Light, his trump card could be even more high-tech. For example, a near-infinite light energy core? Regardless, whether it's the technology of this world or the world of its creator, Luke, it's mostly a mixture of technology mixed with magic, and magic with technology. There's still hope for making the impossible possible.
…
The door to the laboratory opened, and Ina Sandra, wearing a gray tube skirt and showing off her long legs, walked in quickly. Seeing the smile on Luke Field's face, she smiled and said, "It seems that you have gained a lot from your retreat this time."
"Is there anything happening recently that interests me or that needs my attention?" Luke Field did not answer, but stood up and walked over.
Ina Sandra's pretty brows furrowed. "The company hasn't had anything that requires your attention recently, but if you're talking about something else, would the kidnapping and disappearance of the irritating Tony Stark, the soul of Stark Industries, be something you'd be interested in?"
