Cisco stepped forward, removed the mechanical samurai's mask, revealing the green circuit board and wires beneath.
“Within 24 hours… bring back the Flash, or… destroy Central City!”
An electronic voice echoed from within the mechanical samurai. The next moment, a dozen mechanical samurai flew from all over Central City, rising into the sky and disappearing.
This was a demonstration of power, proving that the person behind the scenes had the ability to destroy the entire Central City.
“This is really troublesome.”
Shimizu watched the robots take off.
Although Gotham was more chaotic, it had a Batman who worked tirelessly day and night, so there was no fear of any major crisis. On the other hand, Central City, after the Flash was trapped in the Speed Force, seemed unable to be effectively protected by other second-tier heroes alone.
Shimizu now just wanted to quickly resolve these troublesome matters and then return to Gotham—anyway, with that bat in Gotham, there wouldn't be any major problems. He could just lead the Hogg Union as a model gang on a regular basis, enjoying the ease and freedom—compared to other gangs in Gotham, the Hogg Union was truly a law-abiding good citizen. If the bat wanted to cause trouble, he would go after other gangs first.
However, with a dozen mechanical samurai flying around and wreaking havoc on Central City at the same time, Shimizu could only deal with them one by one if he wanted to stop them. Even if he had the ability to fly, it was estimated that Central City would be half paralyzed after he finished dealing with all these mechanical samurai.
Kurosawa was a famous Japanese film director who had directed many samurai-type films and was well-known worldwide, so Wally called the person behind the mechanical samurai Kurosawa.
Cisco stared blankly at the mechanical samurai on the ground, without saying a word.
Returning to STAR Labs, Cisco quickly ran to a corner, carried a white energy cannon wrapped in wires, and ran to the crowd guarding Nora.
“Guys, we only have two options now. One is to find the mastermind, and the other is to bring back Barry. His speed can completely solve these mechanical samurai in a short time, but both have to be done within twenty-four hours. The former is clueless, while the latter…”
Cisco placed the strangely shaped energy cannon on the table.
“I’ve been researching it for several months, and I’m still one step away, but it’s only this one step!”
“We only need Barry’s DNA, combined with my Vibe powers, to directly locate Barry in the Speed Force dimension. Then we need Wally to keep running, generating a lot of energy to inject into the inside of this thing, helping me open the location of the Speed Force dimension, and then use an object containing Barry’s DNA and close to Barry’s mass to replace Barry.”
Cisco said excitedly.
“I want to ask, will releasing Barry cause the already stable Speed Force dimension to become chaotic again? Barry has already sacrificed himself once, and I can’t accept Barry leaving me again after he comes back.”
Iris said, her eyes red, after calming down.
“No, no, I have analyzed the Speed Force state on Wally and found that the Speed Force is now stable and there won’t be much of a problem.”
Cisco forced a smile on his face, and then looked at Victor expectantly.
“The only problem is that the structural design of this thing still needs to be improved, otherwise it will accumulate a lot of energy in a limited space before opening the Speed Force dimension, causing the temperature to be too high and explode. However, due to material factors, I can’t create a setting that can reduce energy dissipation. Professor Victor, Caitlin said before that you are not only a leader in cryogenic physics, but also have high attainments in mechanical engineering. I want to know, can you give some advice?”
As Cisco spoke, he tapped on the tablet, pulling up the structural diagram of the Speed Force cannon.
Caitlin took over the work of Mister Freeze knowingly.
Victor then took the tablet with peace of mind.
“Your design is already excellent. Even I can’t do better than you. But since you are worried about the temperature being too high, why not try using something to cool it down? I am very good at this.”
Cisco shook his head.
“I’m afraid not, Professor Victor. Once cooled down, excessive heat transfer will lead to a decrease in energy activity.”
Shimizu squatted aside, disassembling the mechanical samurai with a screwdriver. After listening to the conversation between the two, he looked up.
“Perhaps, I have a way.”
… …
… …
The next day, early morning.
No mistake, one first, one hair, one inside, one content, one in, one look!
On a straight road in the suburbs of Central City, Cisco and Caitlin were debugging the Speed Force cannon. However, on the rear seat of the Speed Force cannon, a dagger was inserted into the top of the Speed Force cannon.
It was a Promethium metal dagger.
According to Cisco’s detection, this Promethium metal dagger was in an energy-poor state, that is, the energy stored in it was extremely low. According to calculations, such a Promethium metal dagger weighing about one kilogram could completely absorb the energy dissipated when the Speed Force cannon was activated.
Behind Cisco and Caitlin, who were debugging the equipment, stood Shimizu, Wally, Iris, and Joe.
Except for Shimizu, the others were Barry’s relatives, and of course they hoped to see him the first time Barry returned. Victor and Anger stayed at STAR Labs to help take care of Nora, who was being thawed.
Behind the Speed Force cannon were connected cables, and the other end of the cables was a super treadmill moved from STAR Labs.
In front of the Speed Force cannon was a humanoid target with a dummy containing Barry's DNA inside.
“Pre-system ready, Wally!”
Cisco shouted to the back.
In an instant, Wally flashed onto the super treadmill and ran quickly. Streams of electricity generated during high-speed running also flowed into the Speed Force cannon along the cables.
“Very good, now is the most critical step in saving Private Barry.”
Cisco took a deep breath, aimed a Vibe at Wally who was running, using the Speed Force energy on Wally to sense the Speed Force dimension, and aimed another Vibe at the dummy, also releasing a Vibe, positioning Barry’s location.
Seeing that the energy reached its peak, Caitlin also pressed the button on the Speed Force cannon, shooting out a high-energy laser to charge Cisco's Vibe transmission.
