"Sir! After analysis and reviewing the production process, the damage to the Amplification Crystal is most likely due to insufficient material strength. You will need to use new materials for the production of the Amplification Crystal."
After a long while, Audis's voice echoed in the laboratory.
Andy nodded noncommittally. He saw that although the Amplification Crystal's manufacturing process was normal, the alloy steel Amplification Crystal, after cooling, simply couldn't withstand its own massive energy.
The numerous Inner Fusion Cores filling the cracks in the Amplification Crystal were the best evidence.
He just didn't know if this cracked Amplification Crystal would still be effective for enhancing equipment.
Andy placed the Amplification Crystal into the enhancement device and put the unexpectedly produced Inner Fusion Core into the material chamber.
Energy was gradually extracted from the Inner Fusion Core in the material chamber and injected into the Amplification Crystal. The energy slot below the Amplification Crystal was slowly lighting up.
One, two, three.
All the star-shaped indicators on the energy slot were filled, and the Amplification Crystal completed its enhancement.
Andy held the freshly produced Amplification Crystal, turning it over and over under the light, carefully appreciating every detail.
"This is my future, this is the future of Orokin."
Andy was truly too excited; he couldn't wait to use a weapon enhanced by this Amplification Crystal.
The Amplification Crystal, illuminated by the light, also displayed a series of Orokin characters, which translated to Hornet Sting.
...
Flawed Hornet Sting
Level: Three
Base Damage Increased by 40%
Applicable Equipment: Pistol (Secondary Weapon)
...
The Flawed Hornet Sting remained in Andy's hand for a long time. Finally, Andy, wanting to experience the effect of a weapon after enhancement, placed an experimental automatic pistol and the Hornet Sting into the enhancement chamber.
A blue energy flashed by, and the Hornet Sting disappeared from the enhancement chamber, replaced by the automatic pistol, which now had some additional patterns.
Andy picked up the automatic pistol and felt it, but didn't notice any changes to the automatic pistol.
"Audis, open the shooting target. Let's feel the effect this Hornet Sting brings."
Andy waved the gun in his hand, a hint of excitement in his voice.
Bang ~ Bang ~ Bang ~
Pistol bullets loudly collided with the metal target.
From Andy's shooting experience, this automatic pistol hadn't changed at all; the shooting feel was the same as before it was enhanced.
Andy shook his head, put down the automatic pistol, and his mood was a bit low.
A dejected Andy sat on the sofa, preparing to check the shooting data from just now, when Audis's futuristic mechanical synthetic voice rang out.
"Sir, according to the recent shooting data, and previous experimental data for this automatic pistol, the overall power of the ammunition fired by the enhanced automatic pistol has increased by 40%, but other performance aspects of the pistol have not changed."
A 40% increase?
Audis's words brought Andy back to his senses. He had thought the Amplification Crystal manufacturing had failed, as it was common knowledge that the greater the bullet's power, the greater the recoil.
The automatic pistol, with its completely unchanged feel, made Andy instinctively assume that the Hornet Sting he had created was a waste, just a tattoo for the pistol.
He hadn't expected the Amplification Crystal manufacturing to be successful. A 40% increase was the standard measure for a Flawed Hornet Sting.
"Hahaha ~ I succeeded!"
Andy laughed loudly, waving the automatic pistol in his hand in celebration.
Exhilarating music was played by Audis to celebrate Andy, and the entire laboratory became lively.
After a song, Andy lay on the sofa, breathing heavily. He was too excited. The success of the Flawed Hornet Sting proved that as long as suitable materials were found, a perfect Amplification Crystal could be successfully manufactured.
The enhancement effect of a perfect Amplification Crystal was something these flawed Amplification Crystals could never achieve.
With the successful manufacture of the Amplification Crystal, Andy immediately created several more Amplification Crystals with different effects.
After a period of waiting, four newly produced Amplification Crystals appeared in Andy's hand after being enhanced.
These four flawed Amplification Crystals were:
Flame Loaded, which made pistol bullets shoot with high-temperature flames; Spasmodic, which made pistol bullets shoot with high-voltage electric shocks; Deep Freeze, which made pistol bullets shoot with extreme cold ice; and Pathogen Rounds, which made pistol bullets shoot with potent poison.
These four Amplification Crystals, imbued with elemental power, made Andy truly realize the power of Orokin Technology.
Andy experimented with one after another. Flame Loaded, at the moment the bullet contacted the target, caused the entire target to burn. After the flames disappeared, a distorted mark was left on the red-hot metal target where the bullet had made contact.
Spasmodic caused bullets to carry tens of milliamperes of current and hundreds of volts of voltage, capable of causing the attacked person to fall unconscious or even die with just one hit.
Deep Freeze and Pathogen Rounds were equally terrifying. One could easily reduce the temperature of a metal target to below zero, even causing the target to freeze and shatter; the other contained toxins capable of ending the life of a wild ox.
The Amplification Crystals with elemental damage were too powerful, so much so that Andy didn't know if he should combine them.
After all, the power after combination was not simply two plus two. After considering the crystals for a long time, Andy decided to combine Fire and Ice. He wanted to see what kind of power the resulting explosive attribute would have.
Hornet Sting, Flame Loaded, Deep Freeze—three flawed versions of Amplification Crystals were fused into the automatic pistol.
Raise hand, aim, pull trigger.
An 8mm bullet flew out of the muzzle, and the spinning bullet heavily impacted the target.
Boom ~
The entire laboratory was shaken by a shockwave. The target was directly shattered, and everything within a two-meter radius of the bullet was a mess.
This explosive bullet unleashed powerful destructive force, its power no less than that of a hand grenade.
"Oh, that's really terrifying, isn't it, Audis?"
Andy popped his head out from under the experimental bench, whistling playfully.
The bullet's explosion just now had scared him quite a bit. He reached out and touched a metal shard embedded in the wall.
Andy looked deeply at the automatic pistol in his hand. Andy decided that before he could use a warframe, he would absolutely not combine explosive elements on melee weapons.
He was afraid that if he swung a blade, he would perish with his opponent, dying a laughable death.
Knock knock knock
The laboratory door was knocked upon.
"Andy, what just happened here?"
A professional woman with long black hair and a beautiful face pushed open the laboratory door and asked.
The explosion caused by Andy's experiment just now was felt by all the employees working downstairs. The violent tremor made them think they were under a terrorist attack.
As Andy's assistant secretary, Tina, after calming all the employees, brought Andy a cup of coffee in the laboratory.
Sipping the coffee, its bitter taste invigorated Andy. He then let out a long breath and said, "Thank you, Tina. Nothing's wrong here, I just had a little accident during an experiment."
Looking at the messy laboratory and the metal shards embedded in the wall, Tina was very confused. What kind of experiment could turn the laboratory into this state?
And her boss, Andy, was holding an automatic pistol. Was he researching firearms?
Unable to understand, Tina subconsciously thought Andy was preparing to enter the arms industry, so she asked Andy:
"Andy, we are a biotechnology company, primarily focused on medical drug research.
I imagine this kind of research wouldn't require things like automatic pistols and grenades.
Unless you're planning to enter the arms industry, but Orokin's core is biotechnology.
If we were to transition to arms, we simply don't have a sufficient research team to help us with the research."
Andy opened his mouth, about to speak.
Tina continued, her tone somewhat urgent:
"What's more, the best firearms in the U.S. are all produced by Stark Industries. Other arms companies can only pick up orders that Stark Industries doesn't care for to survive.
I know you're a genius. You and Tony Stark are placed on the same level, but that doesn't mean you, a super genius in biology, can reach Tony Stark's height in military explosives... Mmm..."
Andy smiled helplessly, stood up, hugged Tina, and gently covered her mouth, which was still continuously spouting words.
"Don't worry, Tina.
I know what I'm doing. The core of Orokin won't change; it will still be biotechnology.
I'm just experimenting with things that enhance weapons. After all, as a super genius and a World-class wealthy person, one definitely needs some things to protect themselves, don't you think?"
After hearing Andy's words, Tina and Andy embraced tightly.
