Chapter 53: The Prologue Begins

23 March 2009.

It's been more than two months since Tony Stark disappeared.

As time dragged on, the disappearance became longer and longer, and Stark's chances of survival became smaller and smaller.

The Wayne Group and Stark Industries sent another small rescue team, but they lasted a week and then returned, because a third of them died, and all of them died in the encounter.

The efficiency of Rhodes' search has also gradually decreased, from a dozen patrols a day at the beginning, to three patrols a day now.

Only Edward's itinerary remained the same, after the last sandstorm, Edward was kept at home for a few days and was not allowed to go out, and only after confirming that nothing was wrong did he continue to move.

Edward resolutely went out to patrol every day to find people, in fact, it was also for the good of this little life - in the first month and a half, Edward came out to patrol not to find people, but to find a chance to sleep for a while.

He only has the time to find a chance to sleep for a while when he goes out, and as soon as he gets home, he has to stay up all night to get data, and he has been staying up all night for two months, and the dark circles under his eyes are exaggerated to a certain extent.

Rhodes tried to drag Edward back to sleep, but Edward protested and gave up.

As time passed, Edward went out more and more often, and Edward couldn't continue to sleep in the car, so he ensured two hours of sleep every night.

Edward's speculation that Stark Mark 1 will be completed in 2-3 months, and as the time gets closer, Stark may not know which corner to run out of at any time.

Edward worked hard to come here just to "save him", if he ran back by himself, wouldn't it be a blood loss? That's why I sacrificed my time to do design and sleep a little more, so that I could concentrate on searching in the desert.

After coming here, Edward's R&D speed has been slowly rising, except for the harsh environment, because there is no S.H.I.E.L.D. surveillance, it is much more comfortable than in New York.

At the same time, for two months, no one had interfered, and Edward felt calm and excessive.

Hydra didn't, the Black Mage didn't, the Ten Rings didn't, and the three assassins didn't.

The information of the three Assassins was the best to obtain, and they all went on other missions, and Edward, a passerby, didn't remember them at all.

There is no Ten Rings Gang, Edward was chased and killed to affect them to arrest people, and now that the person they want to arrest has been caught, it is estimated that they don't have the heart to come to Edward to lick his head, as for Obadai, he has been busy taking over the company recently, how can he care about such a guy who has forgotten his appearance?

The Dark Mage has a note from the Ancient One, and Edward is aware of it.

As for Hydra, Edward asked the beetle to take the risk and opened the supercomputing mode in a remote area, desperately spent electricity to find a weak branch to hack in, looked for information, and probably understood.

Edward found the spectacle of the "Burning Man" flying in the sky in New York on the Internet, and from the flying posture and shape, the shadow of Captain Marvel could be vaguely seen.

S.H.I.E.L.D. is conducting a big inspection over there, and Nick Fury doesn't believe anyone, he always hides his character, this time the movement is not small, and with such a superhuman level of combat power as Captain Marvel, the pressure on Hydra is not small, and he has no time to take care of this side.

Edward yawned, there was no big news in New York, Batman didn't debut, the Fantastic Four didn't go to space, the Flash was still acting in bed scenes, Superman was still working as a reporter, and Team America was still cosmic popsicles.

On the villain's side, Kim hasn't made his debut yet, the Joker hasn't laughed, Captain Freeze is still bored, and Luthor is still being a serious boss with hair.

The world is peaceful, and if there is anything that is not peaceful, it is probably a "whistleblower".

Edward asked the beetle to use "special effects" as a template, and with the help of the monitoring system, he also reported some small gangs' petty fights, so as to avoid the situation where someone found out that Edward was not there and disappeared.

All parties tried to find the traces of the whistleblower, but in the end, they only found some gangsters.

In terms of capital, the beetle is almost invincible in the stock market.

If Edward is willing, with mental arithmetic or unintentional, he will let the beetle open the supercomputing mode, and with his own time stop, the beetle can defeat the economic and financial order of the entire world.

Of course, Edward does not do this kind of thing that harms others and himself, and the collapse of the global economic order is not good for Edward.

However, Edward greatly restricts its play, only allowing 30w-40w to make a small fuss, and just return a little money, too much is easy to attract attention.

Through the funds withdrawn from the stock market by the beetle, he earned 4 million newly, and Edward's total assets have been upgraded from 6 million to 10 million, but he can still use 7.2 million.

For the new 4 million miles, Edward's convenient use is about 1.2 million, and Edward intends to use "business wizards and intuitive wizards" to fool the past, but no matter how much it will affect Edward's "ordinary people" personality.

The rest could not be spent in Edward's name, and there was another more than 3.3 million, and Edward gave the beetle 300,000 to continue the operation.

The fist financing that Edward has been staring at has been delayed, and the 7.2 million has been put aside and not started again.

In terms of its own strength.

At present, Edward has compiled 66% of the basic data of the armor mask form, plus the previous 3%, the total progress is 69%, and more than half of it has been completed, which is much higher than before!

Edward picked up the car and drove out of the blockade.

Compared with the data that he stayed up late every night to cultivate the immortal code, this driving relaxation was like a vacation.

The car has been refurbished several times, but because there are no suitable materials here, the more it is repaired, the more ugly it becomes......

In order not to worry about whether the windows and doors will be broken in the next inexplicable sandstorm, plus the tragic situation of the rescue team, Rhodes asked people to replace the exterior materials with bulletproof.

At the end of March, the desert is already so hot that people don't want to talk.

The sun has only been working for half an hour, hanging in the sky, lazily releasing its heat, but the sand absorbs heat much faster than the water-rich area, and it has only been half an hour, and it is already hot and steaming.

Edward turned on the air conditioner in the car and continued to wander through the desert.

For the systematic design of the armor mask form, Edward has a relatively complete practical concept.

The first thing to face is the energy issue.

It's not just a leather case to put on, it's not a toy to give a battery, no matter how many powerful functions other parts have, they need energy to support its operation.

The original "armor fighting armor system" used "tachyon particles" and "tachyon flow", and the existence of different manifestations of the same "particle" will produce huge energy, which is the energy source of the armor fighting system.

Even though the Kamen Form can't use Knight Kick and Clock Up due to its energy conductivity, it still needs these two super "particles" for energy supply.

There are no "tachyon" and "tachyon streams", and if you want to solve the energy problem, you have to go back to Stark's cold nuclear fusion reactor - the current thermonuclear fusion reactor in the world has not been built, let alone cold nuclear fusion reactor.

If there is no normal timeline for superheroes, let alone 2009, nuclear fusion will not come out for another ten years, so you can't count on anyone else for this matter, you can only stare at Stark.

On the other hand, driving armor is not only about energy, but also about a complete power system.

Therefore, a complete set of software system to assist the action, the structure of the parts on the hardware must be arranged, the specific structural design is too fragmented, and the materials are not selected, so Edward did not start construction for the time being, but let the beetle develop the software control system of the armor first.

After making sure that you can make a move and be able to fight, you must consider the defensive power, not the defense of the armor fighting masquerade form, but the wearer.

Humanoid armor, especially this well-fitting humanoid armor, needs to face this problem.

A cannonball, a fist smashed down, this force is to hit the armor, yes, but the people inside will also be affected, at this time the superior cushioning and shock absorption function is required.

The strength of this function is directly proportional to the thickness of the armor + the quality of the armor material and the cushioning and damping function, the thicker the armor, the better the material, and the better the cushioning and shock absorption function.

Edward didn't know if he didn't know, and he was shocked.

After calculating, I found that his armor mask system was still weak, and Stark's Mark system was really strong.

The armor mask system is clearly heavily armored in the upper body, and the knight system looks a little thinner, but the cushioning and shock absorption are responsible for the "universal tachyon particles and tachyon flow", and when it comes to operation, the shock absorption ability is even better than that of the masquerade system.

And Stark's Mark 3 system, with a thickness that looks about the same as the knight system, can resist a shot and fall from a high altitude, and can still fight normally.

This shock-absorbing ability is a little worse, and people's brains have to be shaken into tofu brains!

Edward wondered what kind of hack Stark had used, and Edward compared all the metals in the world that could not achieve the perfect shock absorption like the Mark 3.

This also brought the development of the Armor Knights system to an impasse.

Edward's current material assumption for two sets of armor, one uses vibranium and the other uses Edman alloy, which is only an idea because it involves the problem of "energy conductivity", but because of the problem of cushioning and shock absorption, vibranium is the first choice.

The biggest characteristic of vibranium is that it is very stable, the molecules of vibranium are relatively stationary, which means that the atoms are always constant at absolute zero, and the atomic structure lacks movement, which means that vibranium does not have the conditions for conduction and energy from the root, which makes vibranium the most stable and resistant material in the Marvel Universe, and also makes vibranium the preferred material.

But because it is too stable, it gives Edward a headache, its special molecular structure makes it almost indestructible, because its molecules are relatively stationary, so that it almost does not conduct heat and kinetic energy, this property can make it absorb heat, energy and kinetic energy.

Edward has not seen it with his own eyes, so he can't say for sure whether Wakanda technology and modern technology can be perfectly integrated.

However, the results of the current calculations are not encouraging.

Vibranium's non-conductive nature makes it incompatible with modern civilization.

The nucleus of vibranium contains a huge amount of energy, which can be released in some way, and it is because of the discovery of this property that the people of Wakanda have followed the rise of technology and established a technology tree with vibranium itself as the energy source.

And modern civilization is different.,Whether it's electricity or a nuclear power plant,There is a special power station for power transmission.,Although the Kamen Rider armor world and the American manga world are two earths.,But the energy technology tree is the same.,So the armor bucket system is completely designed in accordance with modern society.。

1. If all the armor is made of vibranium, the defense power is guaranteed, but a set of armor bucket system with vibranium as the 'energy source' requires the entire operating system and energy transmission system of the armor bucket to be replaced and redesigned!

2. If the two tech trees are not perfectly compatible, Edward will try to use vibranium to make external protective armor and other metals to make an "internal system" to ensure that at least the masked form can "cast off" to switch forms.

3. This is an alternative, the energy absorbed by vibranium is stored between the molecular bonds, and the characteristic of the hive space, "alienated metals", is also made in the molecular bonds.

So Edward is asking the beetle to try to build a model, to see if the hive space can change the "vibranium non-conductive energy" property so that it can transmit the energy that keeps the armor functioning properly, although this may cause the vibranium defense to decrease.

However, due to the lack of vibranium experimental materials, the current simulation is difficult, and Edward needs to find a part of vibranium to experiment if he has the opportunity, even if it is only a small piece.
