Shimizu ignored the Nichirin Blade.
A charcoal-colored Nichirin Blade wasn't suitable for him; it was only suitable for users of the Sun Breathing technique. After re-forging, it could be used by Tanjirou or Kyojuro Rengoku, who had勉强 learned a few moves of Sun Breathing.
"Gear wear, replacement springs not calibrated accurately, loose connecting rods causing slow hand movements, and the joints and bearings all need repair and replacement."
Shimizu reassembled Yoriichi Type Zero amidst Kotetsu's strange gaze, then sat at the nearby table, resting his chin in his hand, lost in thought.
At this moment, Shimizu was brainstorming while looking at the data on the panel.
【Puppet Name】: Yoriichi Type Zero
【Overall Parameters】:
Height: meters
Weight: kilograms
Material: Refined Steel, Reinforced Wood…
Energy: Mechanism
Operation Method: None
【Puppet Rating】: B+ (A-)
【Overall Evaluation】: A humanoid puppet built based on a certain extremely powerful swordsman. Its combat power is not bad; it is almost the pinnacle of ancient mechanical craftsmanship. The disadvantage is that it is too heavy, inconvenient to move, and has deteriorated in performance due to years of disrepair.
On the panel, Shimizu quickly modified and test-ran the Yoriichi Type Zero model.
Kotetsu watched Shimizu spacing out, wanting to call him, but was stopped by Haganezuka, who shook his head.
He could tell that Shimizu was thinking hard.
Not knowing how long Shimizu would think, Haganezuka and the village chief discussed it, and the latter roughly estimated Shimizu's height and body length before leaving.
He was going to forge new Nichirin Blades for Shimizu and Mitsuri Kanroji, temporarily leaving things here to Haganezuka's care.
After a long while, Shimizu, waking up from his thoughts, called Kotetsu over, asked for paper and pen, and began to write and draw.
The reason it took so long was mainly that Shimizu had put most of his energy into understanding some of the ingenious structures within.
The puppet techniques of the Naruto world took a different path from here. Influenced by chakra, the puppets of the Naruto world were all about maximizing stats, and the specific control depended entirely on the puppeteer's puppet techniques.
Here, however, the simplest physical mechanics were utilized to the extreme. The ingenuity of the structure was such that even Shimizu felt he had gained a lot.
"Swish swish… swish swish swish."
The pencil quickly moved across the paper.
Kotetsu stood on tiptoes, looking at the patterns Shimizu drew on the table, and was taken aback.
Renzoku was actually restoring the missing part of Yoriichi Type Zero.
Soon, Shimizu picked up a new piece of white paper and began to draw.
This time, the drawing was 70% similar to the previous one.
Shimizu had an inspiration and was trying to replicate some of the ingenious mechanisms in Yoriichi Type Zero, combining them with the puppet techniques he had learned from the Naruto world to create a new puppet.
At that time, under his control, the overall combat power of this puppet would definitely be higher than that of Yoriichi Type Zero.
Moreover, Shimizu did not need to restore the moves by making six arms for the puppet, like the swordsmith three hundred years ago.
That was because the performance of the puppet was affected by materials and power, which forced them to do so.
At this point in the early twentieth century, human industrialization had reached a certain level, and various materials and tools were vastly different from those three hundred years ago.
Shimizu could create a Yoriichi Type Zero puppet with even better performance, and if combined with the manipulation of chakra threads, its combat power would far exceed the original.
"Haganezuka-san, please help me create these things according to the quantities. In addition to replacing some parts of Yoriichi Type Zero, I also want to try to improve it and create a stronger new puppet."
In fact, these were only some of the parts.
He planned to use the tool machine he made himself to create the truly most complex parts.
Within three days, he should be able to repair Yoriichi Type Zero and create Yoriichi Type One.
"Then, I'll leave it to you."
… …
… …
Haganezuka's actions were faster than expected.
The parts were all made in just two days.
Shimizu's progress was also about the same.
"Click!"
Without a single mistake, first content!
As a left arm was installed, Yoriichi Type One was basically completed.
As for Yoriichi Type Zero, Kotetsu had taken it to the center of the courtyard, tirelessly controlling it to make various movements.
After the repair was completed, the puppet level of Yoriichi Type Zero had stabilized at A-, and it could continue to fight continuously for half an hour.
As for Yoriichi Type One…
Shimizu stuffed two ammunition pouches into a hole in the left arm and nodded in satisfaction.
【Puppet Name】: Yoriichi Type One
【Overall Parameters】:
Height: meters
Weight: kilograms
Material: Refined Steel, Reinforced Wood…
Energy: None (Mechanism)
Operation Method: Chakra Threads
【Puppet Rating】: A- (A)
【Overall Evaluation】: A humanoid puppet built based on a certain extremely powerful swordsman. Its power is not bad. It combines exquisite ancient mechanical craftsmanship and puppet techniques, and is equipped with hot weapons. Its combat power is powerful. Even without using chakra threads, it can still exert a certain degree of combat power according to a fixed mechanical program.
After checking the muzzle of Yoriichi Type One's left arm one last time, Shimizu nodded in satisfaction and synchronized the memory to the main body and the avatar in the DC world.
This time, he learned a lot from Yoriichi Type Zero.
The basic physical mechanics rules were right there, and there would be no changes. There were many techniques and structures inside that could be integrated into White Warrior and Big Ivan, making the overall performance of these two puppets even better.
Looking at the tall puppet samurai with red hair in front of him, Shimizu hung the specially prepared earrings on it and draped a red ancient robe over it.
"Well, not bad. I wonder what that scumbag boss will react when he sees Yoriichi Type One?"
Shimizu stroked his chin, imagining it, and at the same time, shifted his gaze to the knife held in Yoriichi Type One's hand.
"Tap."
The button on the back of Yoriichi Type One's right hand was pressed by Shimizu, and the battery hidden inside quickly conducted the current to the Nichirin Blade.
As time passed, the current heated up, and the Nichirin Blade quickly turned red.
"Very good, now, it can be considered 100% reproduced."
A hint of a smile appeared on the corner of Shimizu's mouth.
At the same time, not far from the Swordsmith Village, just across a mountain, a delicately shaped porcelain pot rolled under a tree…
