Reboot: Mechanic

379  RF Shielding

Having confirmed from Shi Tian that his enemies seemed to be stronger than her despite having the Chronosworth City at her disposal, Vanessa was somewhat stunned. What kind of fearsome enemies were they? What was worse was that Shi Tian rarely lied, so it was hard for Vanessa to believe he was deceiving or fooling her with that confirmation.

'Stronger than the Chronosworth City… could they be from a city more advanced in technology?' Vanessa pondered silently. Comparing Gearits City with Chronosworth City, it was crystal clear that the latter was superior.

However, that doesn't mean Chronosworth City was the biggest and strongest power in the world. There are many more places and locations stronger than them. It was just that they couldn't access or go there because of the terrain and miasma field. "Anyway, I guess you won't be in the mood to massage my shoulder anymore." Shi Tian chuckled softly and stood up, doing some stretches. As he made some stretches, Shi Tian really had to praise her skills silently. His muscles seemed so relaxed now and he was able to move them around more smoothly. It was a far cry from his previous tensed muscles that hindered his movement slightly.

Seeing how Vanessa was silent, it became quite clear that she was somewhat angry at Shi Tian's reasoning.

His reasoning was no different than saying her identity was nothing much compared to the enemies that he was facing. But how strong was Shi Tian?

This man can't even win a one-on-one duel with her if they truly fought, so how dare Shi Tian indirectly imply that she was inadequate and weak to collaborate. "Hmph, hope you dislocate your shoulders." Vanessa stuck her tongue and cursed him. She then walked away and went closer to Mary's side, prompting Shi Tian to realize the reality.

'As expected… luck cannot be relied on.' He thought to himself, understanding that there are never free lunches in this world. Her taking the initiative to massage him was indeed laced with a sinister and shrewd plot. After Vanessa sat down grumpily next to Mary, the atmosphere became quite awkward. There were only three people in the Iron Sentinel, and the other two had long figured Vanessa's spoiled or grumpy mood was just an act. Hence, they found it unbelievable that Vanessa would still act in such a behavior.

"Jeez, is this how you behave in Chronosworth City?" Mary paused her work temporarily and asked Vanessa. She was originally focusing on the craft but was interrupted by a foul mood Vanessa all of a sudden. "Hmph, no one dares to act that way toward me back in my city," Vanessa sneered coldly and crossed her arms. At the same time, she kept her glare at Shi Tian, clearly blaming him for being so unruly and rude. Shi Tian and Mary looked at each other briefly before shaking their heads in response. It seemed like Vanessa was indeed spoiled and just loved to act like that whenever things didn't go her way on purpose. This was the so-called natural habit or bad habit to be precise.

After all, Vanessa was no fool and knew this kind of act didn't work on them. But still, she decided to act upon it because she was addicted or wanted a method to vent her frustration.

"Anyway, you can help me out with this part since you're done being massaged." Mary shifted the topic and told Shi Tian to assist her.

Shi Tian nodded his head, but his next actions surprised her. Instead of working on the part that she requested, Shi Tian somehow grabbed a completed Spymon.

Seeing that, Mary was dumbfounded and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

While continuing his work on the supposedly completed Spymon item, Shi Tian calmly explained his actions. "I've checked on the Railgun Blaster for Theobold previously when I said I was going to fix it. And it took a while because I was also inspecting the specs of it." "So you think the Spymon wouldn't be able to affect Theobold's equipment?" Mary was quick on the intake after hearing the brief explanation from Shi Tian. Since he had mentioned investigating the specs of Theobold's weapon, Railgun Blaster, it meant that he got a clue about it or realized something. "Mhmm, the Railgun Blaster from Theobold is quite special. I noticed that there was a small compartment in the specs, so I secretly recorded it. It was only now that I've confirmed that the small compartment part was capable of remaining active despite being affected by an EMP." Shi Tian explained and went to type on the keyboard, showing Mary the data obtained on the computer screen. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Mary glanced at the data and was astonished. "When did you start this?" "Right when you decided to take a rest." "And you didn't bother to inform me until now?" Shi Tian shrugged. "It's not that I want to keep it a secret, but I didn't want to say something aloud without confirming it." There had been times when they were so full of themselves, only to end up being embarrassed because of their failed inferences. Mary also understood his reasoning. Indeed, she does not want to be incorrect again in her guess and end up becoming a joke. "Fine, then have you figured out how to counter it?" Mary crossed her arms and asked. If Theobold weaponry could ignore an EMP disruption, then it meant that it had some form of RF shielding technique such as electromagnetic radiation or electromagnetic shielding. These are the common techniques being used so that electromagnetic risks are mitigated and the electromagnetic field is effectively blocked with barriers of magnetic materials. Because these methods were so common, Mary doubted it would be easy for Shi Tian to loop around this obstacle. An EMP attack is not rare in this world now that technology has advanced tremendously. "Rest assured, Mary. I'm not one to give up so easily." Shi Tian mused, pretending to be somewhat mysterious. At the same time, he felt blessed that the integrated chip in his mind had given him the solution.
