Chapter Twenty-Six: The Generation Gap
After Li Yi took the symbiote, because there was no trouble with it, the two astronauts landed safely, Jameson got the scoop, and the sales of the "Clarion Daily" have increased a lot.
However, Li Yi knew that John's news might not last much.
After all, they came back uneventful, nothing dramatic, and in this age of national entertainment, people actually prefer to focus on the high-profile playboy Stark.
It is precisely because of this that even the fact that Tony slept with that woman can make headlines in the media.
Li Yi is not a scientific research maniac, for him, the world is more like a real social experiment than his exclusive laboratory. For him now, the most important thing at the moment is that it belongs to the humanities experiment rather than the theoretical physics experiment.
Of course, there may be a small part of the study on time and dimension, but it is not very deep.
So he didn't make a big deal out of this world, but tried to successfully integrate into this world and pursue his own answers.
If he uses the metaphor of playing a game, he may prefer to watch the factions in the game play out rather than participate in the game.
He had already decided to do so when he knew that the future of this world seemed to be unexpected.
So even though he was really interested in the symbiote's ability, he didn't directly study the symbiote next to him as an experimental subject.
……
In Stark Industries' underground lab,
The "Mark 1," which Obadai brought from the Middle East a few days ago, stood quietly on a platform.
Many engineers around were inspecting this machine full of technical beauty, and they received an order from Obadai to complete the imitation of this armor within half a month. The director of the project analyzed the blueprints drawn by his engineers on his desk at the edge of the empty laboratory.
The head of engineering is not a layman, he is also a good engineer. But despite this, he couldn't help but have a headache in the face of dozens of design drawings the size of A2 paper in front of him.
There is no other reason, but there are too many parts in this diagram that are designed against his common sense, and even the design of many parts is completely unreasonable. If he hadn't seen the actual thing in person, I'm afraid he would have thought that the blueprints were not from a good mechanical engineer but from a kid who had just learned mechanical drawing.
"Oh my God, this armor is so complicated, how can the clutch be designed like this, and what are these? Damn, the boss has to get a larger prototype in fifteen days, and at most a big iron lump will be completed during this time! ”
That's when someone from his team who specializes in testing equipment came in.
"Head! We can't make this thing in half a month! ”
"What's wrong, Gary?" The director is usually approachable, he knows his people well, Gary is an excellent electrical engineer, and he seems to be much more stable than his age. So he knew, I'm afraid there was a real problem.
"Head, the power test for that big thing has just come out, and if it can really fly for a short time and move freely as the boss describes, it needs at least a generator the size of a house to supply energy!"
"Damn it!" The head of engineering cursed in a low voice, and he knew that what Tony Stark had made was not a good imitation.
As a middle-level cadre of the company, he has his own information channels about the origin of this armor, and now in the entire company, I am afraid that only Tony is kept in the dark, and his ability to control the company is almost zero.
Not only was the head of engineering a little irritable when he thought of this, he tried to keep his composure, and asked the electrical engineer in front of him, "Isn't there any way to make this thing a little smaller?" We can't let this big guy carry a bigger guy to fight, can we? ”
"The Ark...... The reactor may be able to reduce the volume, and with the power of the Ark reactor, even if it is reduced to the size of a palm, it is enough to drive this big guy, but now we know that the Ark reactor is only the one there except for the one in Iron Man's heart. ”
Gary looked at the large Ark reactor that had been taken to the underground lab.
The engineering director looked at the large ark reactor there, and could only sigh helplessly, he was ready to be scolded by Obadai for being incompetent, he was not Stark, if he could make this reactor smaller, he would not be just a middle-level cadre.
"Forget it, Gary. You work hard to complete the prototype of the "Iron Overlord" first, and the rest of the things, the energy problem will not be solved overnight. ”
The Director patted Gary on the shoulder.
"Okay, head." Gary nodded, then replied energetically.
When Gary left, the head of engineering got up from his seat, he was going to report the matter to Obadi, this kind of thing couldn't be delayed, and instead of delaying the deadline and begging for grace time, he might as well just tell Obadiah that he couldn't handle it now.
There is nothing to be ashamed of in admitting that you are not capable.
"You're saying that dozens of you Ivy League graduates can't make a half-crippled gadget that you built in less than a month in a terrorist cave?"
Obadai questioned the engineering director in a very dissatisfied tone, he didn't need to send the engineering director away because of such a thing, he just knew their ability to choose them to copy, besides, a genius alone can't support a large enterprise, to be like real development, these technicians can't be ignored.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Obadai. We really can't do it, even if the whole company's technicians add up, at most we can make a replica of the Ark Reactor in a year, and this is still in the case that we already have the finished product, and the size of the Ark Reactor can hardly be changed.
And to get to the palm-sized level as you say, I'm sorry, it's not something that we mere mortals can set foot in in a few years, it's the realm of true geniuses. Just as Dr. Erskine created the Super Soldier Serum at the beginning, and no one has been able to recover it until now, there is at least a five-fold generational gap between the Ark Reactor and the current mainstream technology. In other words, unless Mr. Stark is willing to tell the blueprints and ideas for the design of the microreactor, no one can remake another finished product.
This is not just my opinion, but at least 99% of mechanical engineers. ”
