Ironclad: How can hand-crafted knight belts not be considered genius?

"Spending all day in the lab, my body is almost stiff."

Jiang Ning stretched his arms and legs, looking eager to try.

"Forget about any pawns, just bring them on!"

The Black Tower doll gave him a speechless look and sighed.

"It seems you have no idea how dangerous an enemy attack is."

Alright, just a heads-up: if you have any items that can boost your combat power, be sure to stock up on them.

I don't want to come back to collect your remains at the end.

Jiang Ning scratched his head, not thinking the matter was that serious.

"It can't be that exaggerated, can it?"

Alan, who had been listening quietly, raised his hand and asked in confusion:

"Ms. Black Tower, what exactly is this Legion attack you mentioned?"

The Black Tower doll then realized what was happening and slapped its head.

"I forgot you just arrived, it's normal that you don't know these things."

But I already told Estelle about this, how come she didn't tell you?

Alan shook his head, his face full of confusion.

"This is such a hassle."

The black tower doll looked at Jiang Ning.

"You tell him about his current situation."

Jiang Ning nodded and simply explained that the space station was being targeted by the antimatter legion.

Alan was shocked upon hearing this, his face filled with disbelief:

"So, the Black Tower space station is currently being hunted down by the antimatter legion?"

"That's right, that's exactly how it is."

Jiang Ning waved his hand casually, his attitude remaining relaxed.

"How can this be! The enemy is a notoriously vicious legion, and the situation is so dangerous. We absolutely cannot let Miss stay here!"

Alan panicked and turned to find Estád, determined to escort her away from the space station immediately.

"Alan, don't worry."

A soft, melodious voice came from behind the curtain. Estella gently lifted the curtain and slowly walked out.

"I volunteered to stay on the space station, and Ms. Black Tower truthfully informed me of all the dangers. I have always been aware of this."

"But you don't need to risk staying."

Alan clenched his fists, filled with remorse.

"It's all my fault for not being informed. If I had known earlier, I should have stopped you and never let you be in danger."

Estelle bent down, gently took his tense hand, and comforted him.

"Don't blame yourself, this is my own choice."

She looked at Alan and said gently, "And with you by my side protecting me, even the most difficult problems can be solved, right?"

The warm touch soothed Alan's anxiety, and his eyes regained their firmness.

"I will do everything in my power to protect Miss, even at the cost of my life."

Estella quickly reached out to stop him from continuing.

"Stop talking about life and death all the time. I don't like hearing that kind of talk, and I'll get angry if you do."

She put her hands on her hips, puffed out her cheeks slightly, and looked somewhat coquettish.

Jiang Ning stood aside watching the two get along, secretly admiring their deep affection and wondering about their past.

"Don't worry too much about the enemy. I'll handle the defense section. Leave these troubles to me." Jiang

Ning patted his chest and assured him.

The Black Tower puppet lowered its head in thought for a moment, then pointed at Alan and suddenly suggested:

"Hey, you short, dark-skinned guy, why don't you join the defense department too?"

Alan paused for a moment, then pointed to himself and asked in surprise:

"Shall I join?"

Jiang Ning couldn't help but find his dazed and silly appearance amusing.

Who designed all the military generals to look so dim-witted?

"You're Estelle's personal bodyguard, so you must be quite skilled."

Hei Ta turned to look at Jiang Ning.

"Jiangning".

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Black Tower gently nudged him and said with a smile:

"You and Alan have a contest. Whoever wins will become the head of the defense department. You have no objections, right?"

Jiang Ning was immediately in a dilemma.

Alan was strong and robust, but his own physical condition wasn't particularly good, so he wouldn't have an advantage in a real fight. However, since he was staying on the space station, he could only suppress his concerns.

Left with no other option, Jiang Ning said to Alan, "Alright, since Lady Black Tower has spoken, I have no reason to refuse... Let's have a spar."

Alan looked troubled and tried to dissuade him.

"Ms. Black Tower, isn't this kind of competition a bit inappropriate?"

The Black Tower doll had already walked up to Estelle and began to speak.

"You can go ahead and do it without worry. This guy is tough and can take it."

The space here is too small for fighting. There are special weapons testing pods on the space station; you can go there to test your skills.

The group followed the Black Tower to the outside of the test chamber.

The exterior of this cabin is that of a sturdy, sealed room. The cabin is very robust and can withstand the impact of high-intensity fighting.

Black Tower patted the cabin wall and instructed, "You guys go in and compete. Estella and I will watch from outside via the screen."

The two entered the cabin, the door slowly closed, and they stood facing each other, the atmosphere momentarily awkward.

Outside, in front of the screen, Estella watched the two people on the screen, unconsciously clutching her skirt, her heart filled with worry: "Ms. Black Tower, are you really alright? Alan was very heavy-handed in the fight, I'm worried he might have hurt her."

"Don't doubt my decision, just watch with peace of mind."

Black Tower had a plan in mind: this battle would be a perfect opportunity to collect combat data from the two, so she naturally wouldn't miss it.

Seeing that the two people inside the cabin had not moved for a long time, Black Tower frowned and turned on the cabin's public address system.

"Let's get started quickly, I don't have the patience to keep waiting."

The warning sound kept ringing in the sealed cabin.

Jiang Ning sighed, knowing that he couldn't avoid this competition.

Seeing that he was relaxed, Alan mistakenly thought that he was not good at fighting, so she said softly, "Mr. Jiang Ning, don't worry, I will deliberately hold back when I make a move."

Jiang Ning blinked and slowly spoke:

"There's no need to hold back; you don't know my true strength."

If you become too lax... you'll suffer a lot.

As soon as he finished speaking, he reached into his pocket and took out the Build Driver.

"Let's deal with this seriously from now on."

Under Alan's astonished gaze, Jiang Ning put the driver on his waist, and the components on both sides popped out quickly, firmly securing the belt.

The moment the device was assembled, the surface of the driver shone with a silvery-white light.

Seeing this scene, the Black Tower outside the screen smiled knowingly; everything was exactly as she had predicted.

Estella stared intently at the changes on the screen, her face full of curiosity.

Alan, filled with doubt, was about to ask a question when he saw Jiang Ning take out two more bottles, one red and one blue.

The energy bottle jingled gently, making a crisp sound.

A dense array of physical formulas and arithmetic symbols appeared out of thin air, completely surrounding Alan.

Jiang Ning looked at Alan, whose face was full of curiosity, and smiled slightly as he spoke calmly.

"Then, let's begin the experiment."
