Chapter 14, "Iron Man 3" begins (medium)

Speaking of which, as he travels through other worlds again and again, the strength of Wang Qiu and the team behind him has been increasing, and now they have the support of the world's number one country. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but despite this, he did not have the kind of arrogant mentality of "son of the plane", but even the initial stunned spirit of daring to fight has been consumed a lot - this may be the so-called "the older the rivers and lakes, the less guts", right?

In Wang Qiu's view, when entering an unfamiliar plane, it is best not to try to change too many things, even if you have to do something, you must conform to the rules of the game of society, and try to do the best and most perfect under this rule, so as to achieve the greatest convenience.

And what are the laws of the Marvel world? Nature is an endless stream of superheroes and supervillains, with all sorts of radiation, genetics, mutations, and superpowers. This is the main theme of the whole world, even if it is a million male soldiers and the supreme emperor, it is not against the hateful blow of superheroes!

Although it may seem ridiculous, in the Marvel world, individual heroism is king, and intrigue and overwhelming people with power are farting. This is a reality that cannot be changed, even if you master the world's nuclear weapons and open the superheroes of the god-level plug-in, they can knock you down with one move.

What if you're president? And what about the emperor? Even if it's the god king, superheroes and supervillains don't kill if they want to?

In the face of super-strong individual power, the law and power are like floating clouds, and those in power cannot even protect their own lives.

Therefore, in the eyes of Wang Qiu, who is actually quite cowardly in his heart, or cautious, even if he also has a god-level plug-in such as Doraemon props, if he can keep a low profile, it is best not to jump too hard, so as not to become the target of public criticism - in the previous battle of New York, he actually just took advantage of the situation, and in such chaos, no one could detect who was doing the work in the collapse of the building. As for the nuclear explosion in New York, he actually didn't participate in it at all, it was all the World Security Council, S.H.I.E.L.D. and the evil Hydra organization that infiltrated it. And the mushroom cloud rising in Manhattan also invisibly wiped out all the evidence of his theft of the Ark's reactor.

However, it is not often that you can take advantage of the chaos to pick up leaks and have someone to help wipe your butt afterwards.

Indeed, in the Marvel world, there are countless wonderful high-tech of all kinds. For example, the Ark reactor, which can easily solve the energy crisis of mankind, the super soldier serum that turned Captain America from a tuberculosis ghost into a muscular man in an instant, the laser weapons that were put into practical use by the German army during World War II, and all kinds of immortal, long-lived, and eternal people who live forever, not too much...... But again, it's not easy to get your hands on these cutting-edge technologies. In the United States of the Marvel world, the scientific and technological information that can be collected from public publications is basically no different from the real world, and even more backward. All kinds of high-tech technologies are monopolized by the military, S.H.I.E.L.D., giant conglomerates, superheroes or supervillains. They prefer to keep these technologies as secret as Coca-Cola formulas, rather than apply for patents or publish papers, but let no one know about them at all. Stark, Oscom, and other giants are all the same. Obviously, there is a high technology that can benefit mankind, but it is refrigerated and refused to be popularized. In most cases, not to mention technical information, even the finished product is not sold, but only hidden in one's own home.

For example, Iron Man Tony. Stark's Ark reactor was originally his dad Howard. Stark invented it, which has been in the company for more than twenty years, and Tony has only miniaturized or miniaturized it. But the problem is that for more than two decades, Tony has neither thought of revealing the technology, nor has he intended to sell the finished Ark reactor at all, but has just hidden it in the company and kept it out of anyone's hands. After that, because the production technology of the Ark reactor has been leaked out through the descendants of another inventor, and it cannot be hidden. After the Stark company shut down the arms production line, it was in urgent need of the next profit growth point, so it reluctantly began to sell the Ark reactor.

It is conceivable that if Tony did not become Iron Man, but died in the Middle East, then the Ark reactor would also become a lost legend, right?

As for other secret organizations and giant companies, they basically have the same attitude towards their high-tech products, which are all hidden and not for sale, and are only allowed to be used by themselves and a few people under them. As a result, the high-tech technologies developed by the Hydra organization during World War II, such as energy guns, are still unknown in the 21 st century, and are really a hundred times more exaggerated than the various technological blockades in the real world -- for example, the United States in the early 21 st century, no matter how unpleasant it is to look at China, will it still prevent China from obtaining the technical data of the German V-2 missile during World War II, or the blueprints of mankind's first tube computer? It's all already in the realm of archaeology, okay?

But in the Marvel world, the technical barriers are much more serious and can be easily lost. As a result, high-tech is completely out of touch with everyday society, and ordinary people look at superheroes as if they were aliens, and later generations of researchers actually want to look for "lost technology" from the ruins of decades or hundreds of years ago, which feels like it is not like a scientific society, but more like the adventurers who dig up the tombs of ancient magicians in the fantasy world......

In short, in the Marvel world, there is no technical information to be collected through public channels. The attitude of the scientists here towards the research results is not at all like modern scholars, but more like medieval alchemists who cherish themselves, and are not willing to exchange them with each other unless they have to.

Of course, as a traverser who does not take the usual path, Wang Qiu can completely use the cheat of the [Super Time Stop Table] to infiltrate the research institutes of major consortia and find all kinds of secret information - even if he doesn't know the location of those secret research institutes, he can slowly collect information. Try again and again. But the question is, while the one in New York worked well, who can guarantee that the "time stops" trick will always work?

What's more, even if the cheating finger of "time stops" has been good, it will inevitably leave traces and be discovered!

After all, in the Marvel world, there are too many powers that are proficient in the laws of time and space, and there are not no guys who are good at prophetic magic.

For example, in the previous alien invasion, there was the evil god Loki, who was proficient in mind control and space spells; In the distant Himalayas, there is Stephen, a "Doctor Strange" who has the power to reach the sky and can transcend time and space. Strange, as well as his teacher and brother - as a supreme mage who guards the civilization of the earth and defends against the invasion of the demon world, Doctor Strange can sense anomalies in time and space, so that he can guard against the attacks of time travelers, invaders from other space, and aliens, and can be called the natural enemy of Wang Qiu and other visitors from the other world. However, according to the timeline of the plot, this guy has not yet achieved great success, so he has not participated in the alien war in New York, and it is not too much of a threat for the time being.

Moreover, even if Doctor Strange comes out of the mountain and faces an enemy that can't be defeated like a whack-a-mole, he may not be able to take care of it. In the Marvel world, there are so many time travelers, alien invaders, and aliens that Doctor Strange can't finish fighting even if he dies of exhaustion......

In addition, in Asgard, the land of the Norse gods, there is also a black warrior Heimdall who guards the rainbow bridge and can see everything on earth! God knows if he could have noticed that time passed abnormally during the Great War in New York...... Once this matter is revealed, these powers don't even need to take action in person, as long as they quietly poke out the news of Wang Qiu and others, they can face the siege of a large number of forces, and it will be difficult for them to move forward.

“…… In short, we must act as carefully as possible! In this world, our Doraemon props are not invincible, and we must not do whatever we want, provoke a lot of difficult and powerful enemies, and finally fail the mission or even die in the end! ”

Wang Qiu reminded Ma Tong and the others with a serious expression, "...... Don't forget! At the beginning of this time-traveling mission, we had just entered New York, and four comrades were sacrificed because of the alien army and the nuclear explosion! Among them, Comrade Xiao Zhang couldn't even find his body! ”

“…… Moreover, it is also because of the large inventory of Doraemon props, so for some high-tech existing in the Marvel world, our small team itself is not in urgent demand. For example, the beauty technology that keeps Black Widow Natasha young forever, we have a better [Time Baggage Skin] in our hands, and we can let anyone directly rejuvenate at any time and experience what it feels like to be a primary school student.

Then, of course, Captain America has the serum that produces super soldiers, and Peter Parker has the biochemical potion that transforms into Spider-Man, but we also have the [Superman Suit]...... Well, there seem to be a few copies of the [Spider-Man Suit], so there is no need to envy them at all. Next, Doctor Strange has magic, but we also have the Encyclopedia of Magic, ready to turn all of America into a wizarding world......"

Political Commissar Guo also said, "...... As for Iron Man's armor, I didn't think of any similar substitutes for a while, but don't be fooled by the handsome scenes in the movie, this thing is certainly an invincible artifact in Tony's hands, but it is not very practical for us......"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Jean Tony. Stark went from a playboy to an artifact of Iron Man, the famous Mark series of armors, which is actually not practical?

Well, it's a bit hard for a lot of people to accept, but it's true.

You must know that in a real war, the more powerful the weapon, the better, but also the cost performance and maintenance difficulty.

Otherwise, they will be just toys for the rich and rich, and they will become a burden on the battlefield.

During World War II, for example, the German Tiger tank was far more powerful than the Soviet T-34 tank, but it was also more expensive, more time-consuming and laborious to produce, and more difficult to repair, and finally it was drowned by a sea of cheap Soviet tanks.

There are also modern fourth- and fifth-generation jet fighters, which are powerful but also more delicate to maintain, requiring not only air-conditioned thermostatic hangars, but also a large group of professional ground crews to circle around all day. You can't get them into the sky with just one pilot.

And Iron Man Tony. Stark's Mark series of armors, since they are technological products and not magic items, have to follow the same principle - as the toys of local tyrants, these armors are very expensive to build, at least much more expensive than a Rolls-Royce brand-name sports car.

Moreover, they are not only the crystallization of high technology, but also a nightmare for logistics maintenance personnel. As a leader in the high-tech field, Tony does not care about the cost of his Iron Man armor, he chooses the most expensive and best parts and functions, and the production and maintenance costs are close to astronomical, which is definitely the most expensive private toy in the world. What's worse is that each armor has a large number of new materials and technologies that have not yet matured, so the complexity is extremely high. Considering the multiple functions of these battleframes, it is estimated that the number of parts on several sets of battleframes in the later period will be at least tens of thousands, and the moving parts will be at least thousands, which is as complex as a jet fighter, which must be extremely prone to problems. Considering its relatively small size, the difficulty of maintaining it is even more exponential, and the average technician simply cannot afford to repair these complex "works of art".

-- Anyone who has been to a computer repair shop knows that traditional desktops are generally much easier to maintain than laptops and tablets, due to the difference in the size of the internal space. A larger interior often means better heat dissipation and higher fault tolerance. Conversely, the smaller the internal space, the more integrated parts, and the more compact the structure, the more likely it is to have problems and the more difficult it is to maintain – because the structure is too compact, a small problem anywhere can quickly become a big problem. Even with the automatic detection function, it takes a long time to determine the specific location of the fault, and the actual repair is a difficult task that consumes physical strength, mental power, and knowledge accumulation at the same time.

In the same way, the same goes for Iron Man's armor, except for Tony. Outside of Stark himself and his "Jarvis" smart butler program, I'm afraid no one can maintain it at all. These armors are all-powerful heroic artifacts in Tony's hands, but if they are put in the hands of ordinary logistics and maintenance teams, they will become jets of the Indian Air Force, falling from morning to night...... Such a gorgeous "toy" is really not a few people can afford it.

Therefore, even if Wang Qiu and they can really get one or two sets of Iron Man armor and successfully crack the anti-theft program above, then they can only use it a few times at most, and then they will be forced to scrap and seal it because of poor maintenance - if they really want to make Iron Man's armor widely used and become standard equipment for individual soldiers such as military exoskeletons, then they must adapt to the needs of large-scale production and equipment, greatly simplify the body structure and production process, reduce the number of parts, and do not hesitate to give up most of the functions for this, Even sacrifice a certain amount of firepower and mobility, in order to reduce its cost and complexity, so that its maintenance work can be played by ordinary people, and it is best to reach the level of people with experience in repairing cars, who only need to go through a month or two of assault training: you can't catch Iron Man himself back as a maintenance coolie, right?

In addition, you also have to take into account that this is an industrial product of another world, and to Wang Qiu's world, it is no different from an alien thing. The two worlds have developed different tech trees from each other, stipulate different industrial standards, and even have differences in weights and measures, and the parts produced in this world may not be able to be used in the Iron Man armor of the other world......

“…… In other words, we probably won't even be able to get our hands on the replacement parts on the Iron Man armor. ”

Political Commissar Guo spread his hands and said, "...... You can't just open several production lines to produce spare parts for their maintenance, right? Dedicated cheap small-scale production is not possible, and today's 3D printers can't do it to such an extent! What is the difference between such an Iron Man armor and chicken ribs? ”

Regarding the above statement, Uncle Chen Ping and the female man Tang Mary couldn't help nodding their heads again and again, but Ma Tong rolled his eyes and immediately found a loophole, "...... Wait, there's no need to be so troublesome, okay? Don't we have a "time baggage"? ”

She puffed up her chest and said triumphantly, "...... How many times have Doraemon's cars, planes, and spaceships been bombed into wreckage in the manga! Isn't it just a matter of collecting the fragments of the wreckage, wrapping them in the [Time Wrapper], and then turning back time, and then returning to the factory state? It's the same with the Iron Man armor! As long as we have the [time baggage] in hand, why worry about its daily maintenance? ”

Wang Qiu & Guo Political Commissar: "......"

- Well, you have a good point, and I'm speechless......

ps: Recently, I learned about a refreshing three views, originally read the records in the history books, saying that the Arabs began to smoke hookah when they had not discovered the Americas in the Middle Ages, and China found the pipes of the Tang Dynasty, I feel very strange, American tobacco has not yet been smoked, what kind of cigarettes to smoke?

Two days ago, I watched a science and education film about drugs, and I learned that these early smokers were not smoking tobacco, but hemp ♂, which originated in Central Asia!

As early as 2700 B.C., when it was about the equivalent of Dayu's water control, the addicts ♂ of the ancient Middle East had already begun to smoke hookah with the ♂ big hemp! Later, as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions, Da ♂ Ma was also introduced to the Central Plains along with grapes, watermelons and spinach, so that the Han people began to swallow clouds and spitt fog, so there was a strange thing that pipes appeared earlier than tobacco - I couldn't help but think of the scene of Zhuge Liang or Liu Bowen smoking a big ♂ hemp pipe while pointing out the world...... As for the age when opium smoke was introduced into China, it was also very early - the initiator was actually the "most bullish diplomat in history" of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Xuance, who broke through the heavens alone, brought a lot of opium back from India when he triumphed, and presented it to Tang Taizong Li Shimin as a panacea, and it is said that Tang Taizong in his later years was addicted, and as a result, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces had no good impression of Wang Xuance, an opium dealer, so this person was obscure and almost obliterated by history...... Hey, it turns out that human beings actually take drugs first and then smoke!

In addition, it seems that humans also learned to make wine first, and then agriculture, and many hunting tribes knew how to make wine from wild fruits, although they did not know how to farm. The first wheat was used to make beer, and it was thousands of years before drunkards learned to bake bread and steam wheat rice......

How do you say that? Should we criticize the depravity and inferiority of human nature? p; amp; Political Commissar Guo: "......"

- Well, you have a good point, and I'm speechless......
