Meanwhile,
Ian had already opened the cockpit of the armor suit.
Because of the Silver Chip scanning, his understanding of the armor's design could definitely be said to be at the designer level; in fact, many times, he understood it better than the designers themselves. That's because there were undoubtedly many designers, and it was impossible for each one of them to personally craft every part of an armor suit and deeply understand the effects of each engraving circuit on the overall performance of the armor.
But Ian could.
The scanning by the Silver Chip was on a microscopic level. The design it restored allowed Ian to slowly create parts by hand and assemble a makeshift armor suit, given the right conditions.
So, he easily found the armor's emergency external manual switch and, by indirectly activating the inscription circuits, opened it from the outside.
