Chapter 22: MV-02 Armor
Annie grabbed the paper and tried to tear it. She yanked on it several times, but despite her efforts, it didn't budge. The thin layer of nano-alloy gel covering it was far stronger than it appeared.
"Here, let me try," Zack said, taking the paper from her. He pulled with all his strength, and after a moment of struggle, managed to create a small tear.
"Looks like it worked," he said, satisfied. He picked up a utility knife and scraped the surface, which made a sharp, metallic sound.
"Perfect!" Zack murmured, a pleased smile on his face. After several failed attempts, he'd finally succeeded in creating a reliable nano-alloy gel.
"Is this for the armor?" Annie asked, her curiosity piqued.
"Not quite," Zack replied, grinning. "The armor's already strong enough. This gel is actually for reinforcing the Mansion's defenses." He paused, the grin fading slightly. "It'll make the entire place a lot harder to break into."
"Got it. You've gone over all the blueprints, right?" he asked.
"Yeah, I think I'm good," she said, nodding.
"Good. Let's start with the transmission mechanism," Zack said, leading her over to the workbench and gathering the necessary materials.
