For someone who was passionate about the Internet and hacking, losing her hands felt like a complete waste.
With this shock absorber, it wasn't convenient for Skye to go out anymore, but she could immerse herself in typing on the keyboard at home.
She only had two things to do every day now: First, learn all kinds of knowledge. Second, train to control the spontaneous shockwaves.
Apart from video chatting with Luke for a while every night, the "tester" of the shock absorber no longer came to visit, and her days were peaceful.
After solving Skye's problem for the time being, Luke focused on another matter.
This matter was related to Skye, but he had to start with the previous snake hunt.
During his debut in the bathroom in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Luke had taken away the boxes of both parties involved in the black market transaction.
The two parties were the black market merchant and the illegal seller. Naturally, this kind of transaction wasn't protected by the system.
The goods were three antique weapons, which were stolen goods.
But Luke couldn't find the owner of the antique weapons after his investigation, and there was no way to return them.
Before he put the three antique weapons in storage, he did a routine inspection, and found that they were made of the same material, which was extremely rare and special.
Judging from the style, the antique weapons belonged to several African tribes from hundreds of years ago, which were now long gone.
If it weren't for their special material, the antique weapons would only sell for two thousand dollars at most.
At that time, the black market merchant had brought with him a total of two hundred thousand dollars.
When he had been racking his brains over how to control Skye's shockwave ability, Luke quickly remembered this special metal.
It could absorb a lot of shockwave energy, but at the same time, it would lose its original toughness under certain frequencies of sound waves.
Luke immediately used this special metal on the "shock absorber."
Because of its characteristics, only a small amount was needed to guide the shockwave energy out of Skye's hands so that her arms wouldn't shatter.
Skye only needed to find a target to release the shockwave energy before the metal reached its limit — and this target included air.
The shockwaves absorbed and released by the special metal would also generate an energy gathering effect. With a single punch, Skye could easily break a twenty-centimeter-thick concrete wall, which was much more powerful than her electric arms.
With this pair of "shock absorbers," Skye could actually be considered a superhuman with combat abilities.
Although he could give it a more suitable name than shock absorber, Luke still chose shock absorber.
Because at the moment, the only thing it could do was slow down the vibration in Skye's arm.
Moreover, it was just an experimental model that had been rushed out. Its functions were extremely simple and crude, so there was no need to give it an impressive code name.
Once the upper limit of the shock absorber's energy storage could be increased, and a device with controllable output times and power could be made, Skye would be enough to become a "shock wave cannon".
At that time, she would be the clean energy source for this "cannon". It would be efficient and pollution-free, and there would be no need to add fuel. It would be perfect.
Luke could only scratch his head at the fact that he had inexplicably produced another superpowered girl. He had clearly positioned Skye as a technical talent at the beginning! Why was it that in the blink of an eye, the little girl had begun to slide back into the abyss of "violent output"?
The world is so peaceful, why are we so hot-tempered? A certain Lu questioned himself deeply in his heart.
Then he got an answer: it was all the Chitauri's fault! Well, there should also be Loki's, Hydra's, and the Hand's high table, all the world's criminals!
It's not me that's wrong, it's the world! It was these criminals and those damn aliens who forced him to walk further and further down the road of violence!
After mentally preparing himself, Luke delightedly studied the special metal.
If Skye could use it, so could Luke.
This thing could absorb shock waves, but it was afraid of sound waves of a certain special frequency.
Luke's Elementary Sound Wave ability was the best experimental "tool" to quickly test the metal's characteristics.
Under normal circumstances, the special metal was extremely tough and insensitive to temperature, whether it was hot or cold.
It was only under special frequencies of sound waves that it wouldn't be so difficult to deal with, and could be processed.
There were too many things that could be experimented on.
Apart from the special frequency that changed its nature, it could also store many kinds of sound waves.
In the end, sound waves were a type of shock wave.
Skye's shock absorbers absorbed shock waves. What if Luke made a device that could store sound waves and send them out in a concentrated manner?
For example … if he used Lion's Roar x2, or even x10, would his opponent be roared into pieces, or die from bleeding out of their orifices?
This was a very interesting topic, and also a very powerful combat and support method.
It could only be said that Skye really was a treasure girl.
He had dug around casually, and this had given him two good things!
Her own combat strength? Sorry, Luke really hadn't taken that into account.
Skye was still a girl, and wasn't a battle maniac like Mindy, who had been led astray.
He had never thought of training her as a fighter, because what he lacked the most were support personnel.
It was already good enough for a girl to play on the computer; it was normal for adults to do the fighting.
…
After the party, Director George gave a conclusion: "Because there was no one at the party, a short circuit in the power lines eventually caused some flammable objects to explode."
The rest of the case would remain under investigation.
Luke, the "owner," didn't protest, and even helped out in secret. The others were just recipients of free food and shelter. They weren't even injured, so what could they say?
NYPD wasn't in the mood to deal with a fire that didn't even have any injuries. This matter would soon become an unsolved case that no one would investigate.
Apart from the fact that some residents were uneasy and moved out of the rescue center, everything else was the same.
The house that had burned down was in the corner, and didn't affect the main structure. After reinforcement and maintenance, the building could still be used.
Only the few "charred" houses in the corner were temporarily turned into construction sites, which were handed over to Luke's Clinton home improvement company for maintenance.
Most of his energy was spent on the research project with his level two clone, and his main body allowed Selina to take him to work, stroll the streets, and work on cases every day. Life returned to normal.
That day, he got off work at half past three as usual.
Selina drove home. Not long after she left HQ, Luke, who was daydreaming, suddenly saw a familiar figure flash past the corner of his eye.
He looked around and saw the guy in the brown leather jacket. He instantly smiled. "Selina, let's go to the training hall."
Selina turned her head and immediately saw the person who had just entered the training hall. She smiled as well. "Don't tell me your hands are itching for a fight?"
Luke basically didn't spar with her. At most, he would be beaten by her.
If he didn't use Gold Nugget as a symbiotic partner, the gap between them would be too big, and there wouldn't be much point in sparring.
Only the person who had just gone in had enough combat skills to fight Captain Luke.
In any case, that person was a fierce person who could kill a hundred Chitauri soldiers with a single swing of a shield.
