"Power armor?"

Howard frowned slightly, a little confused.

At this time, science fiction master Robert Heinlein's "Starship Paratroopers" had not yet been released, and power armor belonged to a relatively unfamiliar concept.

The best-selling, Hugo-winning sci-fi war was later adapted into the classic movie "Starship Troopers", in which soldiers wear military equipment similar to powered exoskeletons.

Many later games, films, and television works have adopted this concept and carried it forward.

"Similar to my Superman suit."

Luke explained.

He has always been interested in making Howard Stark Iron Man.

Why do you have to wait until decades later for Tony to face the news reporter and say the classic line "I am Iron Man".

When it comes to mind, Howard is no worse than his son.

Anyway, it has made a mess of the timeline, and even Gu Yi has a headache.

Then he simply doesn't have to care about the original plot, and the advantage of foresight is no longer important to Luke.

He has long completed the primitive accumulation and entered the development stage of explosive growth.

"Superman suits? I've always wondered how the Hydra gang came up with that! It requires nanomolecular technology, which is simply not possible at this stage. ”

There was an incomprehensible look in Howard's eyes.

"Before the major revolution in microscope manufacturing technology, we knew very little about the world of atoms and molecules. And yours...... Cool suits, which belong to the full-fledged application of nanotechnology - to be honest I don't believe that the scientists of Hydra have mastered the cutting-edge technology of controlling individual atoms and molecules and exploring the microscopic world. ”

Luke raised an eyebrow, trying to fool a genius with a clever mind was really not an easy thing to do.

Their minds are always full of all kinds of strange questions, and it is easy to find things that are not reasonable.

"It doesn't matter."

Luke cleared his throat and said, "There are many unknown things in the world, just like the Rubik's Cube of the Universe. For you, is it a product of the times that should have appeared? ”

Howard was speechless, and after pondering for a moment, he seemed to feel justified, and withdrew his skeptical eyes.

"So you're saying that I'm going to make a similar suit and use the reactor as the core energy source?"

As Iron Man's father, Howard quickly understood Luke's idea and began to think about feasibility.

"Let me think about it, that suit of yours is very technical. It has soft and tough ductility, and has strong adaptability, and nanomolecular technology allows the surface to be freely combined and change its shape. ”

"You once resisted the main gun of the tank, but in the end it was unscathed, and the suit was not damaged in any way, which proves that it has the effect of absorbing high heat and energy, and if you think about it further, it can probably also protect against radiation."

"If I were to design it, I would definitely arrange the atoms and molecules in a certain way, make something that resembles artificial muscle fibers, and then program it to be coded, which can be used for a variety of purposes."

"For example, the case is hardened, like an upgraded version of body armor, which can withstand machine guns and artillery."

"There is also the absorption of the refracted light around to complete the double 'invisibility' of the naked eye and the instrument."

When it comes to technical research and specific applications, Howard, as an arms dealer, is naturally open-minded.

"By the way, I remember that the Pentagon generals used to want you to hand over your suit and study similar technology, but then why didn't there be a sound?"

He paused, looking at Luke, who was listening.

To be honest, Howard is also very interested in the Superman suit.

It's just that Luke may not agree, and it feels strange to study other people's underwear, so he gave up the idea.

"Well, that's right."

Luke nodded.

"Colonel Phillips tested my reaction and said that the Pentagon and the White House were going to have a questioning meeting."

"Then the Namor of Atlantis showed up and damaged two aircraft carriers of the Atlantic Fleet, and after I pushed them back, no one ever mentioned it again."

"Actually, I'm a very talkative person, and I don't mind cooperating with the Pentagon and the White House at all to have a questioning meeting."

Howard rolled his eyes, ignored the untrustworthy answer, and returned to the first-floor dining room in his dressing gown.

Jarvis, the butler, is not here today, and he is usually only in charge of the affairs of the New York mansion, and only occasionally comes here.

It is said that the capable butler in his thirties who has the air of a British gentleman.

He served in the British Air Force and won the championship for three consecutive years after being discharged.

While his skills are extraordinary, his ability to do things is also very strong.

He is both Howard's best friend and a reliable helper.

Thinking of Alfred, the butler on the set next door, he once had an amazing record of beating Superman.

Every time Luke greeted Jarvis, he was unconsciously more polite.

After all, under the worldview of superheroes.

To be able to do a good job as a housekeeper, there must be some hidden skills.

"Your proposal is interesting, but it's a bit cumbersome to actually do."

Howard was eating a sandwich with his cheeks bulging and said, "The problem of the energy system, let's put it aside for the time being." ”

"The first thing to deal with is the material. Ordinary alloy steel, obviously not enough. For the protection of one's own body, there is also protection against the blow of heavy weapons, as well as shock absorption...... These need to be considered. ”

"Secondly, I don't have an inhuman force like you, and if you want to increase the power of power armor, you need to carry various weapons, such as machine guns, miniature missiles, thrusters, and the like."

"I just thought about it, if I want to make a physical object, it should be a small giant three or four meters high, which may be cumbersome to operate, and can only be used as a mobile fortress to attract firepower."

"I don't think it's very useful - I would prefer him to be close to normal form, preferably eye-catching. Whether you are strong or not is a trivial matter, and it only matters whether you are handsome or not! ”

Howard swallowed his last sandwich and took a sip of warm milk.

Hearing Luke's suggestion, he was indeed impressed.

It's just that as a scientist with a realistic and pragmatic spirit, Howard thought about it carefully and found that the feasibility was not high.

On the one hand, there are the limitations of the times, and on the other hand, this involves many technical difficulties.

Unless you put in a lot of effort and time, you won't get much results.

"There will be bread, there will be milk. Technical problems, there are Atlantis to solve. As for...... Materials, I can give you a surprise gift package then. ”

Luke has a mysterious face, inexplicably a bit like the white-bearded old man who stuffs gifts into his socks at Christmas.

"But that's all for later, now get out of the shower, take care of your mustache and messy hair, and head to Washington, D.C. Today is my award ceremony. ”

Hearing Luke's order, Howard subconsciously sniffed the pajamas on his body and found that there was a bad smell of rancid food, so he obediently followed the instructions.

"Tsk, the youngest lieutenant general in the history of the United States, what an enviable guy!"

Before leaving, he took a sip of the lemon slices in the fruit bowl and said sourly.

……

……

White House, South Lawn.

Not long ago, the president added a balcony to the south colonnade, and by the way, he carried out a thorough inspection of the state's highest-ranking official residence.

It turned out that the problem was too serious and there were many safety risks, so it was decided to carry out large-scale rectification.

Now, the president's family has moved to Blair, across Pennsylvania Avenue.

Today is the ceremony for the award of Major General Cavell, and the press conference is scheduled here.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to see the president and cabinet members gathered at the White House.

"Cavill Less...... Oh no, I should call you Lieutenant General. ”

The president, who had not yet taken the stage to give a speech, faced the reporters, and cordially shook Luke's right hand.

Looking at his appearance, it seems that he has not given up the idea of introducing his daughter to the other party.

"I just did my part and carried out the idea of maintaining peace in the world, and it didn't matter."

As always, Luke said beautiful things that he didn't believe.

He had met Mr. President's daughter, even though she had been enthusiastic and proactive.

However, Luke's interest is too lacking to be impulsive.

The last time we met, he only showed his attitude with a polite smile and a basic demeanor.

"Mr. Lieutenant General, it's time to think about starting a family."

Still unwilling to give up, the president said positively: "I talked to your uncle, Frank, and he would love to see you get married, have children, and live a happy and peaceful life." ”

Luke pouted, did he play the emotional card?

He didn't want to step into the grave of love so early, it would only stumble on his feet.

The lofty goal of the sea of stars, how can it be delayed by the love of children!

"With all due respect, Your Excellency, I am not as good as I am in the newspapers or in the news."

Luke showed a serious expression and continued, "If you know anything, you should know my private life......"

"That's not a problem!"

The president made a very generous appearance, saying that he was a person who had come over and understood everything.

"It's normal to like pretty girls with hot bodies. You see Kennedy Jr., playing so presumptuously, but that doesn't prevent him from becoming a promising young man. ”

"I have heard of Mr. Lieutenant General's private life. Aside from that Sicilian woman, and Ms. Carter from S.H.I.E.L.D.? ”

"Look, it's just two. This has nothing to do with the philosophies, and it can be said that he is clean and self-conscious, abiding by the rules, and is really a model among young people. ”

Luke's mouth opened slightly, and he didn't react.

The atmosphere of high society has been opened to this extent?

If you have two lovers, you don't deserve to be called a "wanderer"?

He was about to be promoted to lieutenant general, and he inexplicably felt despised.

"It's not easy for a young man in a high position like you to keep his heart and restrain his desires."

Mr. President let go of his hand, straightened his suit, and prepared to give a speech.

"After the award ceremony, I have a family dinner, and Mr. Lieutenant General must come. After the last time we met, my daughter Mary adored you and said your name every day. ”

Luke was shocked again, how could there be such a father who forcibly sold his daughter.

I feel that if he can do it, the president will want to force him to obey.

Luke, who has a sense of crisis, has a fast brain and thinks of a solution.

Wait a minute!

He looked at Howard, who was sitting in the back, and an idea popped into his mind.

It's time for this self-proclaimed playboy to perform real techniques.
