After the test, the energy level of the steel fork decreased. Walking along the road, she asked, "Shockwave! Does the secondary fluid contain energy?"
Shockwave's calm voice rang out, unaware of what was about to happen: "The secondary fluid contains a small amount of energy."
"I've thought of a way to obtain energy from my kind without harming them!" Steel Fork uttered the words he had been preparing for a long time smoothly and quickly.
The steel fork, which had been following behind, strode around to the front, turned to face Shockwave, and pushed him to the ground, exposing the shield. The mech was wedged between Shockwave's two stabilizers to prevent him from closing up. She leaned down, pressing down on Shockwave's attempt to prop himself up, scanned the mech beneath her, and asked, "Where's your secondary fluid?"
With his ability pinned down on Shockwave, Steel Fork's two stabilizers, along with his ability, traversed Shockwave's body, probing its structure. They thoroughly examined the head sculpt, chest armor, waist, and hips. Steel Fork found and unlocked the latches on the front and rear panels, revealing uncharged output pipes and interfaces. These had been hidden by the panels, preventing Steel Fork from noticing them immediately, but now he realized they must be crucial to the energy system.
Shockwave's upper body was pinned to the ground, unable to move, while the two stabilizers on his lower body were fully extended and suspended by his supernatural abilities on either side of the Steel Fork. Unexpectedly finding himself in such a passive situation, his processor raced, trying to persuade Steel Fork: "Stop. Using secondary fluid to replenish energy is extremely inefficient; your idea doesn't make sense."
The steel fork, too lazy to waste time with its roundabout talk, said impatiently, "What logic! There's energy in the secondary fluid. I want to eat it. It's that simple."
Steel Fork observed the two organs beneath the Shockwave's body, which served as the docking components, with a puzzled look. There was no liquid present. So where was the secondary fluid mentioned in the data? The data stated that secondary fluid only appeared during overload. How could Shockwave be overloaded?
Lost in thought, she curiously touched the output pipe, twisting and squeezing it. She then peered inside the interface, reaching her fingers in to touch any modules that might be generating secondary fluid, while using her powers to explore areas her fingers couldn't reach. Steel Fork was unaware that these actions activated sensor nodes inside and out, causing the machine beneath her to tremble. The stabilizers on her sides tightened around her waist, the machine's temperature rose rapidly, and the radiator roared as it worked hard.
Steel Fork found the machine's reaction beneath her very amusing, and she played with even more enthusiasm.

The enormous red optical mirror was several degrees brighter than usual, an unavoidable physiological reaction caused by the continuous stimulation of the docking components. Waves of signals from the docking components assaulted the brain module, disrupting his turbulent thoughts, but he was still trying to think of a way to escape. The antenna of the audio receiver next to the head sculpt rotated several times with the stimulation and the fragmentation of his thoughts. The pair of wings behind him were stuck to the ground, unable to move, and were trembling along with the body.
He struggled to get up and stop the steel fork from continuing, but this sudden movement caused more friction between the docking components and the fork. The more intense stimulation was converted into a signal that traveled along the transmission line to the brain module, causing the shockwave to soften. The generator couldn't help but leak a few syllables, and the stabilizer instinctively clamped even tighter.
"Hehe, do you think you can escape the shockwave? You can't."
"Stop..."
The repetitive movements were getting a little boring for Steel Fork, so she continued to stimulate herself with her powers, her attention shifting to some purple fluorescent stripes on the mech beneath her. She got up and squatted down next to the mech that Shockwave had fallen to. The server first touched the purple stripes on the upper hip armor, then traced them upwards, caressing the waist, shoulder armor, arms... Steel Fork tugged at the chain connecting to the hand cannon, and the mech on the ground swayed.
The docking components were continuously stimulated, and signals from gentle touches were transmitted from various parts of the body to the brain module. Suddenly, the optical mirror flickered and then quickly dimmed, the shockwave made the body tense, the head sculpt unconsciously tilted upwards, and its eyes stared unfocused at the ceiling.
Just as water levels rise to a certain height and the floodgates are opened, or as stacking blocks too high leads to instability and eventual collapse, the signals emitted by the docking components gradually accumulate, eventually triggering an overload. The overload-generated current travels along the transmission lines to the processor, causing a complete halt in thought. Shockwave's entire brain module goes blank, his waist tenses uncontrollably, and his upper body bends slightly into an arch shape. His wings also strain upwards, scraping against the ground with a metallic creaking sound. Heat continues to accumulate, and the body's temperature almost reaches a critical point. Without a mouth, Shockwave cannot breathe to dissipate heat, so his cooling system works twice as hard, with the high-speed fan whirring as it cuts through the air.
The channel connected to the interface continuously secreted lubricating fluid, and due to overload, even more secondary fluid gushed out. The two liquids mixed and flowed down from the interface, only to be caught by the steel fork's superpower and floated in the air, forming a round, transparent sphere with a bluish tint. At the same time, secondary fluid also rushed out from the output pipe, which the steel fork also caught with its superpower.
The steel fork carefully separates the liquid flowing from the interface from the liquid sprayed from the output pipe, forming two blue transparent spheres in the air, one of which appears lighter in color because it is mixed with a lot of lubricant.
Steel Fork's ability is very convenient, which is reflected in many ways. For example, right now, despite overloading the shockwave, neither of their machines has been contaminated with the mixed liquids; she has neatly categorized and swirled the liquid generated by the docking components into balls that float away. Therefore, both of their machines remain completely dry.
This allows the shockwave to close its front and rear guards immediately without having to clean itself up after the steel fork releases its suppression.
She extended her fork and poked it into the darker blue transparent sphere. She put the secondary liquid on her finger into her mouth and tasted it carefully, finally commenting, "Not good. Not as good as energy bars."
The stimulating signals ceased, the machine calmed down and cooled, and the hum of the radiator gradually subsided. After lying on the ground for a few seconds, Shockwave finally regained his senses from the overload. He struggled to his feet, watching the steel fork warily, prepared for any next move she might make.
The steel fork pointed at the transparent spheres floating in the air and asked, "I don't want to eat them anymore, what should I do with these?"
"Throw it away."
"Then I'll throw it away."
“Wait,” Shockwave added, not wanting his lubricant or secondary fluid to spill onto the base’s floor, “throw them in the waste tank.”
Where is the waste liquid tank?
Steel Fork's bewildered gaze remained innocent and naive, even after it had just overloaded someone else. Shockwave, having once again displaced the gas, quickly stepped forward and said, "Follow me."
...
Shockwave silently added a sentence to the assessment of the steel fork: Danger level increased.
The simple-minded yet powerful Steel Fork Wave is about to be overwhelmed.
