Chapter 235: Future Technology
Pei Ran, one of the few big names in the field of mechanical limbs on the entire Earth Pole Star, was once called the gospel of the disabled.
He graduated from one of the top universities of Diji Star and completed his doctoral studies with his fellow undergraduate student Pei Yuanzheng. The two have been inseparable since undergrad, and have been side by side in scientific research for ten years, and finally made breakthroughs in the field of myoelectric prostheses.
Today, they have become leaders in the research of myoelectric prostheses, and they are also known as the "Pei brothers" because of their partnership and the fact that they happen to share the same surname.
But the brothers have been famous for so many years, and so far they have never encountered something as weird as today. I was woken up by a phone call in the wee hours of the morning, and a ZF executive personally led a team to visit their residences, a big man who would not be able to climb even with their current connections.
can make such a big man suddenly come to the door in the middle of the night, and he knows with his feet that it must be an extraordinary situation. People with higher status tend to be more able to carry it at this time, and they go with the person who comes without asking too much.
No matter what they asked along the way, the answers they received were only "confidential". The brothers were arranged clearly all the way, and a group of black-clothed people who looked very professional but did not smile were responsible for the handover throughout the process.
First, a series of tests, a group of professionals came to ask them questions as if they were homely, and the two brothers were confused. Immediately afterwards, the people suspected of being the legendary Secret Service No. 9 also appeared, and they were examined in detail with some cutting-edge equipment that they had never seen, and they didn't know what they were checking, but they only knew that it took a long time for the team to check and tell Fat that there was no problem.
In the end, they were picked up at the airport.
The two felt like important witnesses in the movie, and when they arrived at the airport, they also took a special passage, and when they came out, the special plane had already started its engine and waited there, and took off as soon as they boarded the plane.
The two brothers looked at each other, and it felt like they hadn't woken up. They discussed in a low voice on the plane for a long time, saying whether any of their projects involved higher-level secrets or something, but they couldn't say anything for a long time.
It wasn't even until the plane landed that they realized that the destination turned out to be Jiangdu.
The convoy took them straight off the airport trail and after a short drive through the city at night, their car stopped outside a towering building.
The two quickly recognized the building, as it was quite famous.
Originally designed to be the tallest building on Pole Star, the building was originally designed to be the tallest building in Gangdo. However, due to cost and some construction disputes, the height of the building was cut by 10 floors when it was completed, missing the record of "tallest building".
The building was completed earlier this year. Also due to the reduction in the number of floors and some unresolved disputes, it is still idle for the time being.
This made the two even more puzzled. What are you doing with all the effort to call them here?
When they came to the top floor, the two were even more surprised.
They weren't the first to come here, and a lot of people were already waiting here. Among them, there are many people they all know, there are elders in the biomedical field, there are those engaged in energy and those engaged in electromechanical, and each of them is an absolute leader in their respective fields. There were even Minister Shi and Dr. Hines of the Ninth Special Service.
Eyes swept across the room, and they saw only a figure who seemed to be non-academic. But the origin of this person made them even more frightened.
Chai Pingdong. Ordinary civilians may not know the position of a top-level official, but the Pei brothers recognize it, and they can better understand how powerful the person in front of them is on the Earth Pole Star. was pulled over by such a big man in the middle of the night, and the two brothers felt somewhat flattered.
They greeted each other and sat down in the living room on the top floor at Chai Pingdong's beckoning. The floor-to-ceiling windows of the room open onto an open-air balcony that is said to have the best view of the night view of Gangdu.
"Alright, we're almost there."
Chai Pingdong spoke, and everyone present quieted down, and their eyes were focused on him.
"You must be wondering what brings you, the elites who carry the future of humanity, together. You must be wondering if something big is going on.
I can tell you that you are right.
This is an unprecedented event involving our entire human civilization, and it requires the power of the best among us. ”
There was another commotion among the elites, who seemed to be somewhat stunned. Everyone present is well-informed and has experienced ups and downs, but such a strange situation is really unheard of. Anyone else said this, they just thought it was an absurd joke, but considering the extraordinary battle tonight and the identity of the leader in front of them, they couldn't help but wonder if they had picked up an alien spaceship or dug up an ancient radish.
"You may soon be exposed to some shocking facts, and you may be exposed to technologies that are going to turn the world upside down. And the task of all of you here is to help the world adapt to the changes they bring.
And these changes all come from one person. Oh, speaking of which, he seems to be almost there......"
When everyone heard this, they became more and more curious.
Sounds like such a big battle, such a big effort to bring them here from all over the world, all for one person?
What kind of strange people can qualify for being called "influencing human civilization"?
And soon they got an answer.
At first, they naively thought it was a meteor in the sky, coming from among the stars, dragging a beautiful and deadly long tail flame into the steel jungle made by mortals.
Until they found out that the thing was actually coming for here.
With the roar of the engine, the steel armor foot flame fell from the sky, like a red-gold steel god of war, landing on the outdoor balcony outside.
Everyone opened their mouths wide and looked at the red-gold steel body that walked into the room, and they were speechless in shock.
The armor opened, and Tony Stark, dressed in a suit, stepped out of the iron shell, his armor closing behind him.
"Good evening, gentlemen. Or should it be said in the morning now? Tony greeted, "At least now we've all seen Jiangdu at four o'clock in the morning." ”
Chai Pingdong stood up very respectfully: "Mr. Stark." ”
Seeing Stark walking out of the armor, everyone's eyes widened, almost out of their sockets.
"It's ...... This is the Iron Man in the news......"
Pei Yuanzheng pointed to the battle armor standing behind him and stammered.
"Thanks, but technically I'm Iron Man." Tony said casually, "You're okay too." I've read most of you've seen your resumes on the road, and it's impressive, you have the best abilities, and I only work with the best. ”
Pei Yuanzheng opened his mouth again, but he couldn't speak for a while, or rather, the information he received reluctantly made them feel so hard that they couldn't think of where to speak.
So the big guy I just said is going to turn the world upside down......
The two looked at Chai Pingdong a little sluggishly.
"Yes gentlemen, allow me to formally introduce your new superior, Mr. Tony Stark. Or you can use a name you're more familiar with......"
Chai Pingdong said.
“...... Iron Man. ”
Many people present seemed to have their breaths cut off.
Iron Man, a name that few people on the planet can ignore in recent days.
Some say it's cutting-edge technology, others say it's extraterrestrial metal life. But if you want to ask these veterans who are engaged in scientific research present, then their votes will definitely be for the latter.
Because the more people who know, the more they understand how outrageous this set of things flying around in the sky is, it belongs to the kind of anti-scientific objects that look at a strong sense of science and technology but can't make sense from head to toe when you think about it carefully, and the typical brain hole is greater than the logic of science fiction works.
But at this moment, they saw with their own eyes that this thing was really a technological creation, a battle armor.
When they saw Tony Stark walking out of it leisurely, many people present were instantly stunned. It felt as if the knowledge he had learned all his life had been challenged like never before on that red-gold humanoid armor.
"Ha, you've got some wine."
Tony walked over to the wine cabinet and bar in the room, took a bottle of wine and poured it into the glass.
In fact, Chu Cheng was also a little surprised that he could still do this. It's just that after he landed, there was a sign similar to a mission guide on the bar, and after Stark walked over, an interactive button appeared on the screen.
Clicking on the interactive button, Tony Stark began to pour himself the wine.
Yes, it's very Stark.
"Would you like some?" Tony shook his glass at the people in the room.
But no one seems to be in the mood to drink.
Chai Pingdong walked up: "We have gathered the best people and plan to set up a special committee. They will be directly responsible for material requirements, technical supervision and release, etc., and they will directly interface with you, and you can directly give them any orders you need......
...... Of course, this is only one of the options we have proposed. Mr. Stark, if you don't think it's appropriate, of course everything is based on your intentions......"
"Nothing out of place." Tony interrupted, "But we still have specific rules and details to be laid out for the future, and those must be done according to my requests."
But I'm short on time today, so my assistant will contact you later, and you can negotiate with her slowly on this part......"
At this point, the scientists behind them had already roughly understood what the situation was, and their eyes couldn't help but burn. Even Minister Shi and Dr. Hearns, who already knew about the situation on the asylum's side, were no exception.
Although the phenomenon of the madhouse swinging rotten people from person to person may have started from their equipment department at the earliest, it is reasonable for Minister Shi to feel that they do not carry this pot at all.
The technology of these people is becoming more and more amazing, and the more they study, the more they realize that this human race still has limits. For example, such as a teleportation device, a batwing's thermal vision cannon, etc., if the equipment department studies these things against a few actual combat images, it is like throwing the design drawings of an aircraft carrier to the ancients who are still wearing bronze armor and slashing at each other, and it is impossible for someone to understand it if you teach him by hand.
But who really wants to be a valuable object if conditions allow? Even salted fish want to bask in the sun, and those technologies that once thought that magic sticks are now at their fingertips, Minister Shi only feels that he has never been so excited in his life.
However, when he compared it, he realized that he was quite polite, and the eyes of Dr. Hines who were traveling with him looked at the Iron Man armor standing like a guard, and he was almost a.
Stark snapped his fingers. The silent Mark 43 armor suddenly moved, as if he had woken up from a deep sleep. The steel helmet's eyes slowly lit up, and the holographic projection device on the armor operated, projecting a floating screen into the air.
This is what was listed on Friday and what he was going to offer in the first phase, a list of high-tech.
The scientists couldn't wait to get up. Stark waved his hand and made an adjustment, and the floating screen suddenly split, changing into countless split screens floating in front of each of them.
The technology of this virtual interface alone has amazed everyone for a while.
Each of them scratched down and glanced at the screen when they got it, and it quickly became clear why so many of their interdisciplinary experts were needed to form this committee.
The range of technologies in this list is a bit broad. There was a biological aspect, genetic research, and then suddenly a sharp turn rushed into the industrial field, mechanical development, algorithm programming......
The Pei brothers soon saw the project of the prosthetic limb at a glance on the catalog page. That's the area in which the two specialize, and it's what gives them their current status, so they're naturally extra sensitive to it. They all clicked in the same way, and after a glance at the product summary, they couldn't help but be stunned.
"Mechanically articulated prostheses, conducted directly through cranial nerves, experimentally expected...... it? Isn't this faster than nerve conduction in the human body itself? ”
Pei Ran spoke directly.
"No, and the power output is ...... This ......," he looked up in dismay, "this must be a superpower, right?" ”
"By your standard of superpowers, I think it should be." Tony shrugged.
The others also quickly understood why the Pei brothers were shocked. You don't need to be an expert in your field to see what kind of madness this technology is capable of. Having a mechanical prosthetic that reacts faster and is more powerful than the original limb may not even be just a blessing for people with disabilities.
They could already foresee that there might be a large number of people who were physically fit and not defective and would go crazy trying to get this kind of thing. It's not just an aid for people with disabilities, it's even a real power!
And the summary also mentions that not only can they add a good power system to a lightweight and simple mechanical prosthetic, but they can even further weaponize and equip individual weapons if needed!
The tone of the summary seems to be bland, as if it were just a bland account of an extremely inconsequential matter. But real experts can see at a glance how outrageous the black technology mentioned in these few words.
Although it seems to describe an ordinary arm or a leg, it is such an inconspicuous piece of equipment, its neural connection system, power structure, weapon assembly, every mechanism and every part is enough to cause earthquakes in many fields.
"Gentlemen, it's just a little bit of a scratch." Tony interrupted the consternation that was basking in the technology, "This is already very superficial. In the place where I came from, this has long been a technology that can be seen everywhere on the street, and it is not a unique technology, and many companies and many organizations are doing quite well.
No, or should I say that some individual scientific research can be developed, which is not a very rare thing, let alone a secret.
So don't get too excited. All of you here are scientific elites, and I believe that you should know best that the development of science and technology cannot be achieved overnight. For example...... It. ”
Tony casually tapped on the helmet of Mark Forty-Three, who was standing nearby. Iron Man's armor actually lowered his head intelligently, like a submissive cat, and let its owner knock its iron skull to echo.
