Chapter 19: About the Iron Suit
"Oh? Tell me? ”
Tony said with interest that he was a proud man, but he maintained due respect for Mercer, who was also extraordinary.
"It's an idea that combines technology and ancient armor," Mercer remembers of the future Iron Man's gear, and continues.
"Use high-strength metal to build an armor with a power system and weapons on it, so that the sub-man can fly through the air with the help of armor and have great firepower. The problem is the need for an auxiliary intelligence system and a high-energy power source. ”
"Very interesting idea, but there is a problem, if high-strength metal is used, and weapons are carried, the weight is certainly not something that a person can bear, and the power of flight cannot be effectively guaranteed."
"The weight of the armor and the weapon is borne by its own power," Mercer said.
"Of course, if the armor provides its own energy and can be manipulated, that won't be a problem. However, there is no choice for such energy sources, and all feasible elements will cause severe radiation or metal poisoning to the human body. ”
"Well, yes, you don't have a good idea yet, unless you find a new element......"
Mercer didn't know how Tony solved this problem, and he now regrets why he didn't watch all the Marvel movies.
"A new element? It's not easy to say, but the idea is very creative", Tony shook his head, the new element is not a cabbage, it is not something that can be found by looking for it.
Mercer paused and took a sip of his beer, he knew why Tony had to wait until he was in a desperate situation to develop the Iron Suit.
"I can wear it," Mercer continued, "and even nuclear radiation will have no effect on me." ”
“……”
Tony then remembered that the person in front of him was a superhuman, and he had also seen the battle between Mercer and Hulk through the satellites of the Stark Group.
"Where's that fat green man?"
Mercer almost laughed when he heard this, and I said forget it, if Hulk heard Tony say that, he would definitely give him a big slap in the face, well, one would be enough for Tony now.
"Ran away, he is the 'research result' of another group of people, but fortunately there is a flaw in the relationship, otherwise there would really be no solution."
A few people drank and chatted until about nine o'clock in the evening.
Coulson left first, followed by Mercer and Dana, and in Dana's car, the two of them went straight back to Mercer's apartment.
"Brother, I haven't been to your side yet!"
Dana seemed happy, she hadn't been in touch with her brother for five years before this incident.
"In the future, you can live here if you want, you have your house," Mercer said as he drove the car, and he didn't feel that Dana, who had already lived independently, would come back to live on his side.
"Really? Then I'll move in! ”
"Huh? Oh! Mercer was blinded for a moment, and did not say much, but just glanced at Mercer.
"Brother, I feel that after this incident, you have changed a lot, it seems that you get along better than before", Dana looked at her brother, when the two lived separately, Alex was a withdrawn and extreme person.
"Hehe", Mercer smiled awkwardly, "there is always something that changes when a person dies once, and isn't the matter settled?" ”
Mercer had an optimistic personality in his previous life, and belonged to the kind of person who was at ease with what happened and could live anywhere. This kind of personality is completely opposite to Alex Mercer's extreme hatred of society, and it is normal for Dana to feel it.
"Brother, do you still have contact with that woman?"
"Which woman?"
"It's Karen Parker of Gentek, weren't you dating her at the time?"
Mercer then reacted that Dana was talking about the woman who betrayed Alex Mercer in the plot.
"We broke up a long time ago, and this time she either died in this accident or with ......"
Well? Mercer was stunned when he said this, there is no Hydra and no S.H.I.E.L.D. in the plot, and Karen Parker's woman is standing on the Black Watch.
Now that Blackwatch is controlled by Hydra, is it possible that Karen Parker is a Hydra?
"Brother! Watch driving! ”
Dana shouted suddenly, and Mercer didn't drive the car to the lawn on the side of the road.
"I'm sorry, I remembered something, that woman may not be dead, and she is the one behind it."
"I said at the time that that woman is not a good thing, you still ......"
Dana and Alex also had the reason for their separation and independence in the first place, so she never had a good impression of Karen Parker.
In the midst of Dana's chatter, the car arrived at Mercer's quarters.
"You can stay in that room tonight, these sheets and everything are clean, let's go buy new ones tomorrow."
"Okay, brother, it's time to add something here."
……
Time flies, and it's the end of March in a blink of an eye.
More than a month has passed since the outbreak of the black light virus, and Mercer has also made a real home in this world. During this period, although Mercer did not fight, he was not idle.
"Alex, I hope you can help confirm if there is any virus left here."
Mercer is now standing at Pennsylvania Station, where Alex Mercer's life had fallen, and it is Coulson who is talking to him.
"Phil, did you collect the virus?"
Phil is Coulson's name, and Mercer only remembered to change his words after being reminded by Coulson several times. He sensed the situation at the Pennsylvania station, and the virus had been completely cleaned up.
"Well, some samples were collected, but most of them dissipated."
"Well, I hope you can keep it safe."
Mercer didn't point out that S.H.I.E.L.D. would hand over those samples to him, but it didn't matter, even if the black light virus that had left its parent body could still spread, there was no threat.
As for S.H.I.E.L.D. will study the black light virus to deal with itself, Mercer is not even more worried, not to mention whether they can find a way to solve those black light viruses, even if they find the black light prototype and those black light viruses are two different concepts.
"S.H.I.E.L.D. has a complete set of preservation methods, and there will be no problems", Coulson is confident.
"The virus here has been resolved, and all the tests in Manhattan have been completed, so I can be free lately," said Mercer, who has been checking around with Coulson for almost half of the city.
"There's probably nothing to bother you with, but I'm not the director," Phil replied with a smile, and he and Mercer were good friends now.
"I'm sorry I agreed to that bald head," Mercer said half-jokingly.
"Don't talk about it, you get paid too."
Mercer received his first month's salary from S.H.I.E.L.D. a few days ago, a monthly salary of $10,567, which is completely enough to cover all living expenses for Mercer, who does not have much to spend at the moment.
But for Mercer, who used to be in the high-income class, it was simply incredible.
"Don't mention the salary, I can't believe that you are doing the work of the world with such a low wage."
"We're okay, the lower level agents are paid less, but the benefits are still very good."
“……”
Mercer used to think that S.H.I.E.L.D. agents must be a high-paying job, or who else would do it? The last time it has to be James Bond's kind of treatment, I didn't expect it to be much different from ordinary white-collar workers.
"I'll go first, tomorrow is Dana's birthday, and she thinks I forgot, I have to prepare a gift for her."
“…… Bye-bye"
Mercer and Dana got along better and better, and Dana's own house belonged to the infected area at the time, and it was also affected in the chaos, and Dana simply settled in Mercer's house.
Cooking and laundry and other housework are actually handy, and they can also eat and chat with them, which Mercer had never enjoyed in his previous life.
Although it's her sister, I have to say that Dana, who has started to grow long hair, is becoming more and more feminine.
Mercer drove his Porsche 911 to the mall, bought a pair of Tiffany's diamond stud earrings, hid them, and returned home.
"Brother, are you back?"
Dana wears an apron, but the light makeup on her face lets Mercer know that she hasn't been home from work for long.
"Dana, do you have anything to do after work tomorrow?"
"No, what's wrong?" Dana looked curious, her brother came home on time every day, and never went out at night except to watch movies on TV.
"It's okay, I'll pick you up when you get off work."
