The Stupid Goblins Who Only Know Explosions

After eating the pastries made by Alice, Kraft wasn't in a hurry to build remote-controlled robots. While it would ensure his safety, it lacked direct experiential feedback. Pure data couldn't reveal everything, especially since these engineering creations might not adhere to Earth's physical laws. Therefore, he wanted to find a method that offered the best of both worlds.

Maybe I could encase myself in some kind of metal shell?

Kraft thought of exoskeleton armor but quickly dismissed it. Exoskeletons would block his sense of touch, making them no better than remote-controlled robots.

Wait... sense of touch?

Kraft suddenly remembered Alice's pain feedback system. Although it was just simulated feedback from a program, it was clearly very realistic, indistinguishable from that of a normal person.

So, if he built another robot identical to Alice's, replaced its core with a manual control system, and projected its tactile feedback onto a computer to convert it into data, that should be enough for Kraft to conduct his tests.

Kraft, who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground, leaped up and rushed to the workbench to start operating.

It was a shame his engineering "god-tier manual crafting" skill couldn't be applied to manufacturing other things; otherwise, Kraft could have saved a lot of money. Even so, it saved him considerable time when making some components.

To prevent the test robot from being easily blown up, Kraft spared no expense on materials.

A special alloy learned from his dreams—Moon God Titanium - Castrated Version.

Because one of the rare metals in it wasn't found on Earth. According to the data from his dreams, it was a specialty of an asteroid in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Setting aside whether such an asteroid existed in reality, even if it did, Kraft didn't have the means to build a spaceship now. And even if he could build one, he lacked specific star charts.

So, in the end, he used existing metals on Earth as a substitute. Although this significantly reduced the strength of the Moon God Titanium alloy, it was still more than capable of surpassing other alloys.

Of course, if Captain America's shield in the comics was also real, that remained to be seen.

A flash of inspiration struck Kraft. He commanded Haro beside him, "Search for information about Captain America's shield, and back it up first. We'll look at it after I'm done here."

"Roger, roger," Haro, who was being rolled around like a toy by Bea, extended its limbs and scurried to its dedicated base. "Work commencing, work commencing."

"Meow~~~"

Bea, whose game was interrupted, let out an unhappy meow at Kraft. However, Kraft was too busy with his research to notice.

Bea knew that Kraft was like this when he entered his research state, so she suppressed her instinct to go bother him. But the anger in her heart had to be vented somewhere. Thus, the little black cat turned its gaze toward the stupid dog who was currently running in circles with a mechanical squirrel.

Bea crouched low, silently approaching Quinn, who was blissfully unaware and still frolicking. Then, she suddenly lunged forward and swatted his nose.

"RUA!"

When Kraft finished his work, he saw Quinn's teary-eyed dog face.

"...What happened now?"

Kraft stretched, looking helplessly at Quinn, who was squatting by his feet and wagging his tail incessantly.

Compared to Bea, who defied the setting of the "top three dumbest cats" for Bombay Cats, Quinn's intelligence lived up to his ranking outside the top 79. He often did foolish things, and even after being disciplined for them, he would frequently put on an innocent expression and ask Kraft to stand up for him.

"Bea bullied me again! Big brother, you have to be my justice!"

Quinn loudly accused the little black cat of its cruel actions... Kraft was used to it.

He glanced at Bea, who was lying nearby, flicking her tail with a look of nonchalant confidence.

"You provoked her first again, didn't you?"

Kraft tugged on Quinn's ear and questioned him.

"I didn't!"

Quinn anxiously circled in place, but he had no substantial evidence.

"I didn't!"

This was strange. Kraft scratched his head in confusion. Quinn didn't look like he was lying, yet Bea appeared so self-righteous...

Have these two little ones learned to act now?

"Check the surveillance! Big brother, you can check the surveillance!"

Quinn suddenly remembered the time he secretly caused trouble and was caught by the surveillance cameras.

"Hmm?"

Seeing Quinn's confident demeanor, Kraft wondered if he had wrongly accused him.

Kraft glanced at Bea again. Seeing that she still looked so calm and composed, he became even more confused.

So, he simply had Haro retrieve the previous surveillance footage and project it onto the wall.

"...I'm speechless."

After watching the surveillance, Quinn turned to look at Kraft.

Kraft smiled sheepishly and rubbed his nose. Quinn was being scapegoated because of him.

Reaching out, Kraft ruffled Quinn's dog head to comfort him. "I'll have Alice make you big bones tonight."

"Hooray!"

Quinn immediately brightened up, wagging his tail joyfully.

Then, Kraft looked helplessly at Bea, who was grooming herself. "After I finish my test, I'll make you some toys. Stop bothering Haro and Quinn."

The mechanical squirrel Kraft made himself would actively follow people, so Bea had no desire to catch it. The mechanical squirrels manufactured in the factory also had usage time limits, which was why Bea bothered Haro for fun.

"Got it, meow~"

Bea flipped over and wagged her tail in response.

After dealing with the two pets, Kraft sat down at the computer and started operating the robot he had just finished.

Since it was just a test robot, its appearance was very crude. It had a humanoid shape but no fingers or toes. The whole thing looked like a gasoline barrel with sticks and balls attached, covered in artificial skin for tactile feedback. It also lacked facial features; a camera was simply shoved into its head.

Kraft controlled the test robot, equipping it with a pair of Gnome Rocket Boots, and made it run around the open space of the workshop.

Putting aside other aspects, judging solely by its effect, these Gnome Rocket Boots were quite useful.

According to Haro's monitoring, the robot's movement speed increased by 37.6%. This was significantly worse than the original effect from the dream, and the duration was only 16 seconds.

He also checked the tactile feedback. The leg components were in good condition and didn't seem to cause any discomfort to the body.

However, he still needed to test it a few more times.

Kraft refilled the Gnome Rocket Boots with gunpowder and started the test again.

For the next while, he was basically testing the performance of these rocket boots. Of course, Kraft also found time to make the toy he promised Bea.

After some testing, the alloy Kraft selected was even slightly better than Mithril. It was a spaceship material from an alien race, but the raw materials could all be found on Earth. Its original name was a string of characters, which Kraft had directly renamed to Mithril Alloy.

Furthermore, during the repeated testing of these alloys, although the Gnome Rocket Boots experienced malfunctions and breakdowns, they never exploded once.

Kraft recalled the engineering books from his dream…

So, everything written in that book, "The Stupid Goblins Who Only Know Explosions," was actually true…

The cooldown time from the game felt a bit strange in reality, so I replaced it with the time it takes to replace the energy source or for the energy to recover.
