After sending Ethan back to the infirmary, Coulson's communicator on his ear rang again.
"Report, Officer, a team of people wants to enter here, led by the President of Orokin Technology."
Hearing the guard's report, Coulson was a little surprised; he had just seen Andy yesterday, and now they were meeting again today.
"Wait a moment, I'll be right there."
Andy and his group didn't wait long outside the temporary research facility before Coulson, with a smile on his face, came out to greet them.
"Coulson? What a coincidence, I thought it would be Scott and his team here. Is Nick Fury using you as a robot?"
Seeing that it was Coulson, Andy raised an eyebrow and said with a smile.
"How did you deal with Dracula after taking him back yesterday? Did you gain anything?"
Coulson just smiled at Andy's question, avoiding the topic.
This was a S.H.I.E.L.D. secret; even he didn't know much, and the only one who truly knew was their Director.
"Mr. Andy, we meet again. And this is…?"
He pointed at Reed and the others standing behind Andy; they were holding various instruments, seemingly there for research.
"Oh, them? As an Agent, you should know who they are without me introducing them, right?
But they came here with me because Reed detected spatial fluctuations from another World."
Andy pointed at the temporary research facility and continued, "The hammer that fell here might be evidence of spatial fluctuations, so… you know."
This surprised Coulson. He had originally thought the hammer was a special weapon created by some mad scientist.
But now Andy was telling him that someone had detected spatial fluctuations from another World.
Did this mean the hammer was from another World?
That is to say, this hammer was an alien weapon, and the reason it fell here was because of the so-called spatial fluctuations.
Coulson realized this was no longer something he could handle. He looked seriously at Reed and the others.
"Please wait a moment. I need to report the situation here to the Director first."
Saying this apologetically, Coulson turned and walked into the temporary research facility to report to Nick Fury.
His report didn't take long; he returned after only a moment.
"The Director has approved. You may proceed with your research, but our personnel must be present during your research."
Andy was indifferent to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s request.
Anyway, no one could take the hammer, so if S.H.I.E.L.D. wanted to participate, let them.
And Reed, after much consideration, also nodded and agreed to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s request.
Following Coulson through several layers of security, they arrived at the spot where the hammer had fallen.
Upon seeing the hammer, Reed excitedly rushed forward with his instruments; this was the key to his rise to fame.
After setting up his instruments around the hammer, an instrument resembling a spectrometer began scanning the hammer.
Looking at the fluctuating images on the computer, Reed frowned.
The fluctuations on the computer were clearly abnormal, not regular like the previous spatial fluctuations at all.
The current image fluctuations were a mess, completely lacking what he wanted.
"No, the electromagnetic field here is too strong; it's interfering with the instrument's operation."
He never expected a hammer to have such a powerful electromagnetic field.
Seeing a somewhat dejected Reed, Susan and Ben went up to help.
"It seems they're just like our people; they can't do anything with this hammer."
Coulson was not at all surprised by Reed's failure.
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s researchers were not idiots; they had used various instruments as soon as they arrived.
But all had failed; the precision of the instruments plummeted, making it impossible to detect anything about the hammer.
"Keep an eye on them; don't let them take anything from here."
After giving instructions to the person next to him, Coulson took Andy to another location.
"Mr. Andy, we were originally going to send them directly to the Steel Watchers for overhaul.
However, since you are here now, please help us repair them. After all, we no longer have extra funds to purchase new Steel Gunners."
As he spoke, Andy and Coulson arrived at an equipment repair room.
Three Steel Gunners, with their metal casings removed, were parked there, and many mechanics were repairing these three power armors.
Approaching to inspect the three Steel Gunners, he saw that their electronic components were all overloaded, and even the circuit boards were burned out.
"Emmmm, can you tell me what you did with the Steel Gunners? Did you soak them all in plasma?"
Andy looked at Coulson in disbelief; this method of use, which completely burned out the circuits, shocked Andy.
Looking at the shocked Andy, Coulson gave a slightly embarrassed smile.
"We originally wanted to use the Steel Gunners to take the hammer away, but we didn't expect the hammer to be unimaginably heavy; three Steel Gunners operating at overload didn't even budge it.
Finally, due to the Steel Gunners' prolonged overloaded operation, the entire power system overheated, and so the internal circuits were burned out."
His explanation made Andy realize, and at the same time, Andy shook his head helplessly.
The Steel Gunners' circuits were damaged to this extent, making them unusable and requiring replacement.
Picking up a pair of gloves from a nearby table and putting them on, Andy used a screwdriver to remove all the circuit boards.
"Have your people help me solder some new circuits according to these. I shouldn't need to help you with that, right?"
"Of course, simple circuit soldering is not difficult for our mechanical engineers."
Coulson beckoned an mechanical engineer who was repairing equipment nearby.
"Help Mr. Andy solder some new circuit boards according to these."
Handing the circuit boards to the engineer, Andy inspected the Steel Gunners again.
Aside from the circuit issues, these Steel Gunners also had varying degrees of damage to their power assist devices.
These power assist devices were damaged due to prolonged dragging of objects beyond the machine's limits.
As for what was being dragged, Coulson had mentioned earlier that these three Steel Gunners were operating at overload, just to move the hammer.
After disassembling and inspecting several power assist devices, Andy shook his head.
"Even if these three are repaired now, they will still need to be sent back for parts replacement."
Shaking the power assist devices in his hand, Andy continued, "The damage to these power assist devices is quite severe; they can only maintain normal movement and cannot perform high-intensity activities temporarily."
As long as they could move, Coulson nodded in understanding.
For this operation, the Bureau had allocated five Steel Gunners to him.
If he were to scrap 35 million worth of equipment like this, he would never expect to receive a single cent of his salary for the rest of his life.
After adjusting the several power assist devices in his hand, he reinstalled them.
This was the most Andy could do, even though Steel Gunner repair was extremely simple.
However, there was nothing available for replacement in this location, so he could only repair the damaged items.
Just as Andy finished installing these power units, the mechanical engineer handed the soldered circuit boards to Andy.
"Mr. Andy, these are the circuit boards you requested."
The engineer's circuit boards were soldered exactly like the original circuits, with virtually no discernible difference.
"Wow, thank you, truly exquisite craftsmanship."
Looking at the perfect circuit boards in his hand, Andy couldn't stop praising them.
Andy had not expected such a skilled mechanical engineer.
