It was another few days of continuous busyness.
In fact, even though Luca was still young at this time, his body was already showing signs of not being able to keep up.
After all, it wasn't just high-intensity mental activity; the experimental process also required some physical exertion and precise operations.
If Luca hadn't frequently used Sweet Captivity's healing ability to relieve the soreness in his muscles and eyes, he estimated he would have had to go rest properly and sleep for a whole day by now.
During this time, not only Samira but even White reminded Luca several times to take care of his body, but he still pushed through with a burst of excitement.
Finally, looking at this energy pistol, which was identical in appearance to the original Dominator but completely different in its internal workings, Luca finally showed a satisfied smile.
"Next, I need to find a place to test this brand new Dominator!"
Given the Dominator's power, Luca naturally couldn't choose to test it in his small private laboratory at home.
However, even without actual testing, he already had a general understanding of the various data for this 'new' weapon.
In fact, although this 'Dominator Beta 1.1' itself was a knock-off 'cobbled together' by Harro analyzing the original Dominator and combining it with existing technical information in the database.
But because Orange Industries originally had experience in developing 'ion energy guns,' coupled with some minor technologies from the Gundam 00 World.
The final product was very close to the original Dominator.
It not only possessed three transformation modes similar to the original Dominator and seventy to eighty percent of its power.
Even additional functions like network connection, voice recognition, and facial data retrieval were perfectly replicated.
The only two regrettable points were:
Firstly, the original's auxiliary aiming and information prompt box, which could be projected onto the eyes at all times, could not be integrated into 'Dominator Beta 1.1' even with Harro's capabilities.
Ultimately, it could only be achieved by an external device similar to a Dragon Ball scouter.
Well, this external pair of glasses was actually a result of White later scanning the crime tracking glasses and 'disassembling' some of the technology from it.
However, the 'black tech' content of the crime tracking glasses was actually far 'blacker' than it appeared; let alone replicating it, after much effort, only a few useful bits of technology were 'disassembled.'
The other aspect that couldn't perfectly match the original's level was the ultra-small energy battery in the Dominator.
According to Harro's simulation calculations, both 'electromagnetic anesthesia' in non-lethal mode and 'ion ray' in lethal mode essentially resulted in acceptable battery consumption.
But the 'High-Energy Melting Energy Ball' condensed by the last 'Melting Mode,' which corresponded to the decomposition mode, would basically deplete the battery in one shot and render it unusable after two shots with existing battery technology.
It was completely unlike Luca's use of the original version, which could fire more than a dozen shots before running out of power and could then be recharged for continued use.
Even this 'Castration version' (Castration version) battery was the result of reverse-engineering the 'lithium batteries' inside White and Harro, the two intelligent robots.
Otherwise, how could one say that the 'blackest' part of these black-tech items is often the energy technology?
Most of the data stored in Harro's chip also had to be based on the'Solar Furnace' to be realized; the achievements in batteries were pitifully few.
But!
In Luca's opinion!
This unexpected second 'defect' actually aligned more with his intentions.
Perhaps it was also due to being corrupted by these evil capitalists.
Luca's first thought was not to continue improving and upgrading, but rather to have Harro change the battery of 'Dominator Beta 1.1' to a removable and replaceable mode.
Moreover, he even intentionally 'compressed' some of the battery's performance.
This caused 'Dominator Beta 1.1' to incur a certain degree of 'permanent damage' to the energy battery even when using the 'ion ray' in lethal mode.
And Luca also had Harro 'thoughtfully' add a line of code to the accompanying glasses' program to indicate the extent of battery damage.
This was to ensure that future buyers would not lose their user experience due to severe battery 'damage.'
"How much money can you make selling pistols? Once the pistols are sold, should the electricity company earn the money for the ammunition?"
Not only that, Luca also planned to launch a long-term battery recycling rebate program later.
This would allow those 'permanently damaged' batteries to be returned to the factory, refurbished, and then resold.
Yes, it was a rebate, not a trade-in discount!
After all, if 'damaged batteries' only received a discount when buying 'new batteries,' then it would only save the purchasing party money.
However, if there was a rebate, then those Smith agents would find it more convenient to'scrap' old batteries to profit from them, and then more actively purchase new batteries.
"We already have a flagship product; now, what needs to be sorted out is the sales channel."
"It's time to go back to the company and meet with those people again. After all, those shareholders and the sales department should put in some effort."
However, Luca actually already had a good buyer in mind.
The Military side was temporarily difficult to deal with.
When they needed to procure new weapons, the approval process was often very cumbersome.
Even just a conceptual technical demonstration would require approval from the Department of Defense and budget review by Congress.
Moreover, Orange Industries, due to its previous overemphasis on OEM, had very few connections with the Military.
So this time, Luca was eyeing another 'armed group.'
"As a local agency, the New York Police Department's procurement plans and budget allocations are much faster to process ~"
Ultimately, the reason Luca prioritized replicating the Dominator, and even thoughtfully retained the non-lethal mode, was to target the recently notorious New York Police.
"Hehe, gang thugs are already armed with alien energy weapons, so how could those officials bear to let these brave Police officers fight them with ordinary firearms?"
Not only that, as long as they could secure the New York Police Department's procurement order first.
Then, could the Police in other states just stand by and watch their colleagues in New York State use equipment that was several times more advanced than theirs?
But before that.
"Let's get a good night's sleep first..."
With that, Luca, whose mind finally relaxed, didn't even move his feet and simply fell asleep on the carpet of the underground laboratory.
Harro, who was originally operating equipment on the auxiliary mech, carefully lightened his movements upon seeing Luca fall into a deep sleep, slowly 'extracting' himself from the frame and gently leaning beside Luca.
Meanwhile, White silently walked to Luca's side and gently picked him up.
He carefully carried him to the large bed in the upstairs bedroom.
