Jag frågade James Gunn, direktören för volymerna 1 och 2, på Twitter och det visar sig att Rocket inte uppfann enheten. Faktum är att han stal det (eftersom det var dyrt).
Gunn gav också viss inblick i hur det fungerar.
@CarrotLethal: Hello! Did Rocket create the repair tool he uses on the Milano or was it a standard tool? Thanks.
@JamesGunn: He didn't invent it, but it's expensive. It keeps the entire ship in its memory and can recreate all of it or just the damaged parts, similar to an incredibly sophisticated 3D printer. It takes expertise, time, and patience to employ.
@themattblair: It's expensive = he stole it, right?.
@JamesGunn: Yes, he did steal it.
