Chapter 149: Obadiah Stein, the Iron Overlord
Under Tony's control, Mark II's leg thrusters were fully powered and rushed towards the air.
Soon, Tony reached an altitude of 85,000 feet, which is the highest flight altitude set by the SR-71 Blackbird high-altitude high-speed strategic reconnaissance aircraft, but Tony did not stop there, but continued to fly to higher altitudes.
When Mark 2 reached an altitude of 150,000 feet, seeing that Tony still had no intention of stopping, Chen Mo couldn't help but roll his eyes and shouted sternly in the communicator.
"Tony!"
Tony Stark, who was immersed in the incomparable excitement beyond the limit, came back to his senses when he heard Chen Mo's somewhat stern voice ringing in his ears, and at the same time remembered Chen Mo's advice before leaving.
"Okay, okay, got it, Daddy."
Tony reluctantly agreed.
Seeing that there were no clouds and dust above, and the sky was dark and pure, dotted with bright stars, Tony reluctantly stopped and continued to climb, waiting for the suit to slowly slow down under the effect of gravity, and finally began to fall downward, only then did he activate the thruster again, turn around and dive downward.
……
The test flight of the Mark 2 was perfect, and the performance it showed greatly exceeded Tony Stark's expectations, and it can be said that it is fully mature and does not need to be modified, while he originally expected to undergo many modifications, tests, and even major modifications, and build several suits successively to finally meet the actual combat requirements.
And now, it was easy to do it at one time, so that he was satisfied that he couldn't find any fault, he knew that all this was the credit of Chen Mo, his joining and guidance not only allowed him to avoid many detours, save a lot of time and energy, but also made the suit under the enhancement of a number of high-end technologies provided by him, and the performance in all aspects has been greatly improved.
If it were him, he might be able to solve those loopholes with enough time, but the technology provided by Chen Mo was not something he could research in a short period of time, especially the thrusters that were very important to the suit and powered the flight.
The energy engine designed by Chen Mo is much stronger than the engine he originally designed, both in terms of energy conversion efficiency and thrust-to-weight ratio.
The most direct benefit is that the ultimate flight speed of the Mark 2 is as high as Mach 2 and more than 2,400 kilometers per hour, and the Mark 3 put into actual combat in the movie is only just able to break through the speed of sound.
Tony Stark is already very satisfied with this suit, but Chen Mo is not satisfied.
With the forward-looking suggestions provided by Chen Mo and the enhancement of Hydra technology, the new Mark II is much more powerful than the improved Mark III in the movie, but there are still two big problems.
One is that the steel suit is too cumbersome to equip and must use a special equipment platform, and multiple fully automatic robotic arms are assembled at the same time, which still takes a long time, which greatly reduces its ability to cope with emergencies.
If the enemy hits your doorstep, you can't expect them to stop and wait for you to put on your suit before attacking, right?
The laser-guided tracking rapid deployment system that automatically arrives in the Mark VII in the Avengers and wraps the dress directly from behind, or the automatic assembly of the Mark 42 split in Iron Man III is much faster and more convenient, and it no longer needs to be limited by the cumbersome assembly platform, and can be quickly dressed anywhere.
In addition, although with the help of Chen Mo, the performance of the Mark 2 has improved a lot, but in fact, it is far from reaching the limit, limited by the lack of output power of the second-generation Ark reactor, the performance of the Mark 2 in terms of flight speed and attack power has not been fully exerted.
Although he was quite satisfied with the current Mark No. 2, under the temptation of the more powerful suit depicted by Chen Mo, Tony still chose to continue to strengthen the suit without hesitation.
Next, the two began to work on the more powerful third-generation Ark reactor and improve the way the suits were dressed.
The second-generation Ark reactor is embedded with palladium metal like the first generation, and it needs to be discarded and replaced with a new reactor when it is used up, while the third-generation reactor in the movie uses palladium metal plates, which can be directly replaced with new palladium metal plates when they are used up, which is more convenient to use, has higher energy output efficiency, and has a longer battery life.
As they continued to improve the Iron Suit, Chen Mo received a message from Hydra that Obadiah Stan had successfully obtained the Mark I prototype and its design drawings.
However, there was also a small episode in the middle, as Chen Mo expected, Obadiah did not intend to trade honestly, but planned to eat black, but unfortunately he chose the wrong person.
Brock Rumlow was not the original bald leader, and his men were not the rabble terrorists, and when Obadiah quietly took out a nerve paralysis device and approached Brock Rumlow to plot against him, he was easily subdued by the always vigilant Brock.
In normal times, he would have killed Obadiah directly, but the mission given by Hydra had to be completed, so Obadiah was lucky to survive, but as punishment, Brock Rumlow cut off his left hand holding the nerve paralysis.
When Obadiah, who had paid double the price and a left hand to save his life and get what he wanted, walked out of the tent with a hideous face, ready to gather his men to avenge him, he found that the many elite bodyguards he had left outside and should have been in control of the situation were all lying on the ground.
The curtain of the tent was lifted again, and Brock Rumlow, who came out after him, couldn't help but smile mockingly.
"Looks like you're going to have to get them back yourself."
……
When Chen Mo and Tony Stark succeeded in improving the Ark reactor and creating a third-generation Ark reactor that used palladium metal plates that could be easily replaced, and had a higher energy output and endurance, Obadiah also returned to New York from Afghanistan with the Mark 1 with his other men.
As early as when Tony Stark had just returned and announced the dissolution of Stark Industries' weapons manufacturing division at a press conference, Obadiah, as the CEO of Stark Industries, took the opportunity of the sharp drop in the stock price to say that the board of directors had restricted Tony Stark's rights, making him a cover-up in Stark Industries.
After returning to Stark Industries, Obadiah couldn't wait to order the researchers to gather researchers to study the drawings and prototypes before he could go to the hospital to deal with his severed hand.
With ready-made drawings and a prototype of the Mark 1, the research on the steel suit went well, and the steel suit, codenamed "Iron Overlord", was quickly designed and manufactured, but the energy problem used to drive the steel suit was never solved.
His research team has long been working on the large Ark reactor in Stark Industries, and it has been a long time since he wanted to build a miniaturized Ark reactor like Tony Stark, but there has been no progress.
Obadiah couldn't help but turn his attention to Tony Stark again.
Because Chen Mo and the three of them killed all the terrorists who kidnapped Tony, and left Crossbone Brock Rumlow to lead the special forces team to eliminate the remaining terrorists nearby, the plot of Ethan's hometown being attacked by terrorists later in the movie did not happen.
Tony has also been obsessed with the development of a new steel suit, and has not bothered to pay attention to the company's affairs.
So Tony didn't know anything about Obadia's actions within Stark Industries.
However, Chen Mo knows all about Obadiah Stan's actions, and it's time for Tony to know his true colors.
That night, Agent Phil Coulson arrives at Tony Stark's seaside villa and brings photos of Stark Industries selling weapons to terrorists and rebels in large quantities, including even the latest Jericho missiles.
"When was this filmed?"
After looking at the photo, Tony Stark asked with a serious face.
"Yesterday."
Phil Coulson replied calmly.
"I didn't approve any deals."
Tony Stark shook his head and said with some uncertainty.
"But your company approved it."
Coulson looked at Tony and said slowly.
When Tony Stark heard this, he couldn't help but think of the fact that he was restricted by the board of directors and stopped his work, and said with some annoyance.
"I'm not the same thing as my company!"
Agent Phil Coulson glanced at Tony Stark, didn't say anything more, left the information and turned away.
Tony Stark looked at his back and fell into deep thought, there was only one person in Stark Industries who could do all of this besides him, and Obadiah's face couldn't help but come to his mind.
Now that the company is completely under his control, this matter must have something to do with him.
Thinking of this, Tony Stark dialed Obadia's phone with a calm face.
The conversation was not pleasant, and Tony found out about his behind-the-scenes dealings and confronted him, and Obadia, who was dealing with the severed hand at the hospital, was annoyed and simply admitted that it was he who filed with the board of directors and stopped Tony's work.
Now that Tony Stark has been overthrown by him, he has completely lost his rights in Stark Industries, and he no longer poses any threat to him, and now that he has obtained a powerful weapon like a steel suit, he no longer needs to pretend to be a kind elder in front of Tony.
Hanging up the phone, Tony Stark looked a little dazed, he had always treated Obadiah as a relative, but he didn't expect that in the end it was he who designed himself and took away his power in the company.
This feeling of being betrayed by someone close to him made him extremely uncomfortable.
