Originally, with Muggle technology, even the most advanced plasma thruster was less powerful than a fart.
However, by greatly increasing the voltage of the ion thruster through "zero resistance," it can achieve a power equivalent to that of a jet engine, thus achieving an effect similar to Iron Man's jet engine.
Besides the basic functions, most of Maid 2's other functions are also implemented using Muggle technology.
For example, sensory detection functions, such as night vision, infrared vision, and long-range vision, etc.
If he follows the path of the magical construct, Levin would have to enchant Maid #2's eyes with various detection spells, just as he did for Maid #1: Gwen.
In Clockwork Mode, however, Levin employs Muggle technologies such as night vision, infrared detectors, telescopes, ultrasonic detectors, and radar, enabling him to comprehensively monitor his surroundings and enemies.
Of course, the excessively large size of individual components that enable these functions is also a challenge for mechanical design.
However, magical solutions can also be used to compress the volume.
Both the [Space Expansion Charm] and the [Shrinking Charm] can effectively solve this problem.
In addition, there is another aspect that requires magic, namely [Advanced Arcane Vision].
After all, given Muggle abilities, if they say they can't sense magic, then they simply can't sense magic.
Only magic can defeat magic.
In order to collect various high-end chips, components, and robot parts,
Levin visited almost every relevant laboratory in the world within a week.
Fortunately, thanks to the [Forgetfulness Spell], no news of a large-scale theft from the laboratory broke.
Of course, this comes at a price.
The consequence of using the [Forgetfulness Spell] is that the user will become forgetful for a short period of time.
It is estimated that in the next few years, a strange form of amnesia will spread among scientists around the world, and progress in various fields such as electronic computers, robots, electric motors, and ion thrusters will slow down significantly.
But what does that have to do with Levin?
In short, thanks to Levin's efforts, Maid No. 2, who fully adopted magically modified robot technology, possessed overall capabilities almost equivalent to a living Iron Man.
Furthermore, it can be controlled by an intelligent core, driven by magic crystals, and guided by magical materials throughout its body, allowing it to use various simple spells.
What's more terrifying than an Iron Man is an Iron Man who can use magic.
The only problem is that it's expensive.
Excluding the cost of Muggle mechanical and electronic components,
The large magic crystal alone, along with an unusually large quantity of magical materials, cost Levin a considerable amount of money.
However, being able to create a second maid is still worth the price.
As a product of the clockwork technology route,
One of the major advantages of Maid 2 is its expandability.
If Levin wanted, he could design any functional device to install on Maid Number Two.
For example, Levin imitated Iron Man by installing two ion thrusters in the palm of Maid 2 and giving them overclocking capabilities.
Under overclocking, the ion thruster can instantly unleash a high-energy ion beam, instantly transforming into a plasma cannon.
In addition, Levin also created a number of magic-powered miniature wind-up insects to serve as scouts for Maid No. 2.
They are normally mounted on Maid 2 and charged, and released when needed, acting as miniature drones to provide Maid 2 with more field of vision.
Levin also installed a machine gun on Maid Number Two's arm as a regular weapon.
The machine gun can automatically reload and fire continuously. When the ammunition runs out, Maid No. 2 can efficiently supply the machine gun with an unlimited supply of ammunition by creating new ammunition from scrap metal.
In addition, Levin installed laser generators in Maid No. 2's eyes, which can not only generate illusion-like images through laser holography, but also emit high-energy rays.
Rockets are naturally an essential weapon, but this Maid No. 2 cannot manufacture them herself and must replenish them manually.
To make it easier for daily use, Levin used the same transformation spell as he did with Gwen to change the surface softness of some parts of Maid 2, so that she wouldn't be cold from head to toe.
Of course, Levin designed external weapons for Gwen, so Maid #2 should have one too.
Levin gave Maid No. 2 a mechanical sphere with a diameter of half a meter.
It integrates various functions.
For example, electromagnetic pulse generators and sound wave generators can instantly generate a large number of electromagnetic pulses and sound waves, interfering with the operation of all nearby living organisms and electronic products.
And the force field generator, which is actually a constant [force field wall] spell, can generate a force field to protect Maid No. 2.
The overclocked reverse power field generator will produce a terrifying force field shock wave, creating a miniature version of the "Shinra Tensei" effect.
Ultimately, Levin, drawing inspiration from his past life, gave the maid a second name:
Orianna
The image shows a concept art of Orianna.
Chapter 287 A Robot's Life Matters Too
After Levin worked day and night, he finally completed the prototypes for the two artificial maids.
Now, it is time to awaken their minds and bring them back to life.
Levin extended his hands to them and began the final ceremony.
As the [Demon Soul Pot] spell was activated
Two new souls awaken within the spirit core.
Soon, the doll-like Gwen woke up.
She stretched like a real girl waking up, then saw Levin in front of her.
The maid's eyes lit up, and she immediately realized that she had a very special connection with the person in front of her, and that obeying him would make her feel warm and happy.
She skipped off the workbench and walked briskly to Levin:
"Hello, my name is Gwen. Are you my master?"
“That’s right, I am Levin Green, your creator and master. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Gwen.”
Levin deftly picked up the little maid, spun her around, and held her as if she were a doll.
Then, he began to introduce Gwen to her identity and responsibilities.
"Don't worry, Master, Gwen will definitely become the best maid and protect this household!"
After hearing Levin's words, Gwen was so happy she swore...
Then she began to bury herself in studying the common knowledge of this world and the tasks of a maid.
Compared to Gwen, Orianna's activation is much more complicated.
As a clockwork creation, Orianna needs to be "wound" before she can be activated, which means her core needs to be charged.
This drained most of Levin's magic power before replenishing her core energy.
As Levin flipped the switch, the clockwork maid's eyes lit up.
The indicator lights all over its body emitted directional light, and even the nozzles on its palms and soles began to light up.
Immediately afterwards, the clockwork maid sat up, stepped down from the workbench, and gracefully lifted the hem of her skirt to give Levin a maid's curtsy.
However, the movements were still somewhat mechanical.
"It's a pleasure to serve you, Master. Your maid, Orianna, greets you."
Unlike Gwen, who needed to learn through experience,
With its electronic core, Orianna can input various data and preset various functions before startup.
You don't need to spend too much time studying.
Looking at Orianna, who was a head taller than her, Gwen asked curiously:
"Is this my sister, Master?"
"...Yes, she is your sister."
After a moment's hesitation, Levin nodded.
Although their height and appearance seem quite incongruous
However, both in terms of awakening time and design number, Gwen is earlier than Orianna.
It wouldn't be wrong to say she's the older sister of the Clockwork Maid.
Next, Levin conducted a series of tests on the two artificial maids at the testing grounds to verify their functions.
They also made a series of simple adjustments before they were officially put into use.
