Chapter 15: The Shield

"What do you say? Phillips was going to ask Steve to assemble a squad and play behind enemy lines...... Hydra? ”

Howard and Li Yi are analyzing the energy batteries obtained from Hydra, and after the analysis is completed, they can temporarily build a battle armor that uses these batteries, after all, at this time, it seems that these energy batteries from Hydra are almost the best energy source.

At this time, Carter suddenly came over and told Howard and Lee about Steve's team.

"Yes, that's it. Then I would like to ask you if you have any good equipment here. You must know that although Steve's physical fitness is beyond ordinary people, ......" Carter's words are full of concern for Steve.

"No problem, we're happy to be able to help Steve, does he have any ideas about weapons? What type is needed? "Li Yi and Howard still have no problem with Steve's equipment support.

"He seems to be interested in shields...... "Carter wasn't quite sure.

Howard thought for a moment: "Okay, I'll make more with Lee, and then it'll be up to Steve to choose." ”

"Thank you very much." Carter said goodbye and left.

Then in the later meeting with Phillips, Phillips also asked Stark to make good equipment for Steve, after all, he is now the best weapons manufacturer in the United States.

Howard, who had already agreed to Carter, naturally had no reason to refuse, he simply agreed to Phillips and soon began to make his own weapons.

Li Yi is beside him, and now he has long won the trust of everyone, and he will naturally not shy away from anything.

Watching Stark use a metal called vibranium to create the original shield, Li Yi knew that it was the shield of the legendary American team, because in the next shield production, Howard basically made complex shields. Plus a lot of pendants, such as relays or something.

On this day, Li Yi took the round shield that had been originally created, and began to experiment with it, and it turned out that he discovered a remarkable property of this shield.

"Howard, do you remember the proportions of the metal in this shield?" He looked serious.

Howard leaned himself out of the pile of parts: "What's the matter, this, I think about it, probably used all of our vibranium, and some other metals, I used a lot of expensive metal, just a prototype, who remembers what the proportion is?" ”

"Then it's your loss, Howard. This shield will definitely be your proudest invention in the future, and it may also be the invention you regret the most. ”

"What's wrong? Plum. I don't believe a broken shield is the greatest invention of all, you know, this shield is a model of those precious metals in approximate proportions, and while it's hard and shockproof, it's not a great invention......"

His words were interrupted by Li Yi: "If you think so, you're wrong, Howard." You know, although this shield may not be the strongest right now, maybe it can only block bullets or something, but after my inspection, it has a very powerful property. ”

"What nature? Could this shield still be an artifact? ”

"Almost, have you tested this shield, I don't think so. You look at this, here's my test of this shield. ”

Stark took a piece of printer paper that Lee handed him and detailed some of the shield's properties: complete shock resistance, perfect unloading, and self-locking.

"Self-locking? Lee, this is a shield, not a screw. Where does the self-locking nature come from? ”

"Oh. Well, I don't know exactly how to say it in English, but it's actually getting stronger. ”

"Constantly? Keep rising! Stark seemed to suddenly understand something, he looked at Li Yi, hoping that Li Yi would deny the result, but Li Yi did not avoid the question, but directly told the truth:

"That's right, Howard, just like you think. The defensive power of this shield is constantly improving, as long as you keep hitting it, he can use the vibration generated to strengthen himself, and the defensive ability will only continue to rise with the passage of time, not decrease. There are not even vertices. ”

It can be seen that Howard is very depressed about the truth that Li Yi said, it was originally just a simple prototype, but now why did he suddenly show such a strong character? In fact, his focus has always been on the high-tech shield, who would have thought that the high-tech shield that he had high hopes for seems to be far inferior to the coincidence he made in the first place.

He patted his head in some pain, and it could be seen that he was very depressed now, a formula for a metal material that was ahead of his time had been missed.

"Howard, there's no need to be so frustrated. You may find something new, so there's no need to be frustrated all the time. Besides, such material is not necessarily the best......"

Howard was not so vulnerable: "Lee, we are old friends, you know that I am not that kind of fragile person, but I regret that such a defensive weapon that can reduce casualties is out of print." Besides, since I was able to make the first shield of this kind, I would have time to make it again when the war was over. ”

It can be seen that he is very confident in this matter.

However, Li Yi is not confident that he can develop the material of this shield again, and this shield may be the only one in the future, which is not only a matter of technology, but also a matter of representation.

Of course, Li Yi didn't say it directly, just spread his hands: "Okay, I'm sure you can do it." By the way, how's that armor you made? ”

Speaking of the armor, Howard's emotions rose again: "Who am I?" Lee, you know, I'm Howard Stark, America's most gifted mechanical engineer...... Except for you. ”

Then he turned sideways and stepped aside, revealing a set of black armor behind him, which seemed to have not been painted, and now his suit of armor was not very good-looking.

Li Yi just took a brief look: "You set, how long can an energy battery last?" ”

"You can run for ten minutes in normal mode and five minutes in combat mode."

Li Yi suddenly thought of the artificial intelligence little Jarvis in the original book, there is no artificial intelligence in this era: "How do you control this set of armor?" ”

"Well, it's actually nothing, it's just a simple mechanical conduction system." Howard had already put on his armor as he spoke, moved for a moment, and then took it off again.

It can be seen that he is very satisfied with this masterpiece of his.
