Chapter 47 Palladium Poisoning and Solutions
Europe, outside the Monaco Motor Circuit.
Lu Mingfei ran all the way with lobster claws in his mouth, and just happened to see the car they were driving when they came crashed through the door of the velodrome.
It seems that Harpy rushed in with Pepper in his car.
Lu Mingfei followed behind the car, but a machine is a machine after all, even if he runs with his physical fitness, it is a little slower than the car where Harpy stepped on the accelerator to the end.
By the time he saw the assailant with two electric whips, Harpy's car was smashing the assailant into the barbed wire.
Tony shouted inside from the back seat, "Give me that box!" ”
Box? Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, and reacted that it should be a new model of steel suit made by Tony some time ago - Mark5 suitcase armor.
He remembered that it was poor in defense, weapon assembly, and flight, but in exchange for portability that could be folded into the size of a suitcase.
Why do you need armor now?
Isn't the guy with the whip going to die if he's hit like this? He didn't wear a steel suit again.
Just when Lu Mingfei was thinking so, he saw the strong man who was on top of the car and raised the electric whip in his hand again.
Good boy! This can't be a biochemical human, right?
While Lu Mingfei was surprised in his heart, he already held the shrimp claw he brought over in his hand and threw it at the attacker.
The high-end banquet is luxurious, even the lobster is big, so the large shrimp claw carried a huge kinetic energy under Lu Mingfei's violent throw, and smashed it into the attacker's head.
Once the whip is a weapon, it is difficult to change direction, so even if the attacker reacts, he can only watch the shrimp claws smash over.
The shrimp claws shattered on the attacker's head, causing him to shake his head, and the whip he swung out failed to recover in time.
Lu Mingfei felt more and more that the attacker was a biochemical man, and he could still fight after being hit by a car, and he couldn't fall down when he was shot in the head by such a big shrimp claw.
Taking advantage of the fact that the attacker was dizzy from being smashed, Tony took a metal suitcase thrown by Pepper, and then threw it at Lu Mingfei with all his might, and then took another suitcase.
Lu Mingfei rushed forward a few steps and grabbed the suitcase, fortunately, although he hadn't played it, he had heard Tony talk about the instruction manual.
Pressing the button on the suitcase, the suitcase opened, revealing two handles, Lu Mingfei held the handle and put it on his chest, watching the suitcase quickly deform, wrapping his body in the battle armor.
"How did you do that?!" Lu Mingfei looked at Tony, his face full of amazement.
Before learning from Tony, he only felt that these armor technology content was very high, but now that he has some basic knowledge, he really understands how perverted Tony's armor technology content is.
"Is this the time to talk about this?" As he spoke, Tony had already put on a portable version of his steel suit, stepped on the car where Harpy and Pepper were sitting, and kicked it out with a sudden force, panning in the direction of Lu Mingfei.
Lu Mingfei, who was also wearing a steel suit, took two steps forward and kicked out the car that had not yet stopped.
The assailant seemed to have recovered from his vertigo, and the whips in both hands were swung towards Tony and Lu Mingfei, respectively.
Lu Mingfei turned sideways, brushed the edge to avoid the returning electric whip, and then turned his head to see Tony being smashed.
"You can't do it, Tony!" Lu Mingfei complained, "I'm a novice who plays better than you." ”
"The steel suit is controlled by physics and nerves, and my nerves are slower than yours, what can I do?" Tony shouted.
He is not a hybrid like Lu Mingfei, and his nerve reaction speed is just at the level of ordinary people.
complained on his lips, but Lu Mingfei's movements were not slow, the fighting techniques he had learned with the coach before were used at this moment, raising his arm to block the front, and striding towards the opposite side, during which the other party re-swung the whip and was easily dodged by Lu Mingfei again.
By the time he wanted to attack again, Lu Mingfei had already rushed to his face, grabbed him and threw him over the shoulder.
The attacker was slammed to the ground, his eyes were dark, and he fainted.
Lu Mingfei glanced down, he was hesitating to mend the knife, but his eyes were attracted by the other party's slightly shiny thing hanging on his chest.
The attacker's two long metal whips were hung from something resembling a metal vest worn by the attacker, and another slightly shiny blue object on his chest.
"Tony," Lu Mingfei couldn't hide his surprise in his tone, "Look at that thing on him if it's your reactor?" ”
Tony walked over in silence, snapped the reactor off the attacker, and crushed it after a moment of silence.
……
Tony's lab.
Lu Mingfei sat at the experimental table, leaning back in his chair, holding a glass of champagne with ice cubes in his left hand.
It's been a few days since the last attack, and if you go to see a car car, you can encounter a terrorist attack, and Lu Mingfei doesn't want to go to the party a little after he returns.
In addition to ordering takeout to eat and drink, and playing games, he has been perfecting the previous metallurgical technology in Tony's laboratory, and before he knows it, time has passed.
In the final analysis, this technology is still produced in a hurry, although it is advanced and perfect enough in the eyes of most people, but for the creator Lu Mingfei, as long as he is willing to spend some time, he can still optimize or even upgrade some links.
A delicate 3D perspective model floated above the experimental table, and Lu Mingfei snapped his fingers with his right hand, and then swiped to the left, and the model rotated.
It's still artificial intelligence that works well.
Lu Mingfei couldn't help but sigh, after entering the usage habits, Jarvis knew what he was going to do with a gesture.
After carefully looking at the model, he found that it had indeed improved almost at present, and said, "Jarvis, bring up the formulas from yesterday." ”
"Yes, Mr. Lu."
The model on the lab table vanished, turning into a dozen lines of densely packed long formulas.
"Ming Fei! Mingfei is you?! Pepper's voice came from far and near.
Lu Mingfei then remembered that today was Tony's birthday, and after he came in after playing the game in the afternoon, he was so busy until the evening that he almost forgot.
Counting the time, Tony's birthday party has already begun, and I hope he doesn't miss cutting the cake.
"I'm sorry, Miss Pepper, I'll go over right away," Lu Mingfei got up with his wine, walked towards Pepper, and after walking two steps, he suddenly remembered something, and turned around, "Jarvis, organize and save today's journal and send a copy to my personal computer at home." ”
"Yes, Mr. Lu."
Pepper, who walked into the laboratory not far away, was stunned for a moment.
Just now, when Lu Mingfei held the wine glass and turned back towards the experimental table, she seemed to see a little bit of Tony's shadow from him.
"Sorry, I almost missed the time, let's go." Lu Mingfei drank the wine and put it on the nearest shelf.
Pepper's eyes twitched - yes, this habit of littering things everywhere is also very similar to Tony.
But now is not the time to pay attention to this, she hurriedly said: "Tony and Colonel Rhodes are fighting, Ming Fei, you hurry up and separate them!" ”
"Huh?" Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, "Tony's birthday party and such a wild show as 'Iron Man Gladiatorial Match'?" ”
Lu Mingfei knew Rod, he was Tony's best friend in the military, and Tony made him a steel suit at the beginning.
"It's not a show," Pepper explained anxiously, "Tony was playing in a steel suit at a birthday party, and Rhodes was a guarantor for Tony before he came, but now when he sees Tony like this, he uses Tony's steel suit to fight him." ”
"Huh?" Lu Mingfei was stunned, "Rod used the suit Tony gave him to fight Tony?" ”
Pepper nodded, "So please go and separate them!" I know you also have a steel suit. ”
"Wait, I have something to do first," Lu Mingfei turned his head, "Jarvis, turn off Colonel Rod's Warframe access. ”
"I'm sorry Mr. Lu, Colonel Rhodes' armor use rights were personally given by Mr. Stark, if you want to close Colonel Rhodes's permissions, I can apply to Mr. Stark on your behalf." Jarvis said.
Tony didn't have the authority to turn off Colonel Rod?
Lu Mingfei pondered for a moment, and gradually had a bold guess in his heart.
"I think I can leave them alone." Lu Mingfei Dao.
"What?" Pepper looked incredulous.
……
A moment later, Lu Mingfei walked over from the laboratory.
Tony's hall was in shambles, as if two special tactics squads were fighting RPGs inside.
Colonel Rhodes was nowhere to be found, and Tony was lying against the wall, mask open, looking at the ceiling that had been broken during the battle.
The guests had long been scared away by the battle between the two steel monsters.
"Tony, isn't your birthday party a little too lively?" Lu Mingfei walked over, crouched down next to Tony, and poked his face with his index finger.
"You were absent from my birthday party." Tony looked at Lu Mingfei.
"I don't want to get my birthday cake spilled." Lu Mingfei pointed to a corner of the room, where there was a cake that had been destroyed by the aftermath of the battle.
"Where's Pepp? She said she went to look for you. Tony asked.
"I had Jarvis monitor you and Rod for a while until Colonel Rod drove away your steel suit...... Well, your vital signs are fairly stable until you walk," Lu Mingfei said, "I told Miss Pepper that you were not in danger, and she said she didn't want to see you, so she went back to the office and asked me to call you an ambulance." ”
Tony was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a nonchalant look: "Looks like I'll have to make up a birthday cake for you tomorrow." ”
Lu Mingfei frowned deeply: "Tony, what's wrong with you?" ”
……
Tony's living room, or rather the ruins of the living room.
Tony's suit had been taken off, and he sat opposite Lu Mingfei, a robotic hand carrying a tray to bring them ice Coke.
"Tony, what's on your neck?" Lu Mingfei suddenly raised his eyebrows.
He noticed that Tony had some black-purple marks on his neck, like bulging veins.
"It's just a scrape from the other day." Tony's face doesn't change color.
Lu Mingfei's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly stepped forward and tore Tony's shirt violently.
Centered on the reactor on his chest, countless dense purple-black, like traces of blood vessels spread around Tony's body, almost encompassing his entire chest, and crawling up to his neck.
"What is this!" Lu Mingfei's eyes widened.
"Uh...... Tattoo? "Tony tried to struggle.
Lu Mingfei's forehead was bruised: "Jarvis, help me find out which methods of torture to extract confessions are the most effective!" ”
Tony was silent for a few seconds, sighed, and said, "It's palladium poisoning." ”
"Palladium poisoning?!" Lu Mingfei was stunned.
……
Ten minutes later, Lu Mingfei and Tony sat opposite each other on the couch.
"In other words, although this reactor will always eat away at your body with trace amounts of palladium?" Lu Mingfei frowned and asked, "Didn't you say that this reactor is clean energy and doesn't have any pollution?" ”
"Only a tiny amount of palladium is released," said Tony, "and it's completely harmless to the average person, but it's in my body." ”
"So the contamination you're exposed to will be magnified many times over, and you'll be treated with palladium poisoning." Lu Mingfei understood.
"To be precise, the energy consumption rate of the reactor is directly proportional to the speed at which I am contaminated, and if I just power the magnet and absorb the shrapnel in my body, the energy consumption of the reactor is very low, and the erosion of palladium on my body is also very low."
Tony said: "But using the steel suit will quickly consume a lot of energy, and the pollution of palladium on my body will be greatly accelerated, and every time I use the steel suit, the concentration of palladium in my blood will surge." I've tried to find an element that can replace palladium, but I've looked at all the known elements and none of them can replace palladium......"
Lu Mingfei thought for a moment, and said with a strange expression: "Then have you ever thought about ......?"
"I know what you're trying to say, I'm not going to give up being Iron Man," Tony interrupted him, his haggard face was resolute at the moment, "If using the Iron Suit would shorten my life, I'd rather die wearing it at the last moment of my life." ”
"No," Lu Mingfei blinked, "That, Tony, I don't know much about reactors, and I don't know much about science compared to you, so I'm just proposing a possibility, if using the steel suit will cause the reactor in your chest to expike in energy consumption, and the amount of palladium in your blood will surge......"
"Then is it possible, I mean such a possibility," Lu Mingfei said tentatively, "You also have an external energy source for your steel suit, just like me and Colonel Rod's suit, the reactor in your chest is only used to power the magnet, so when you use the steel suit, won't it accelerate pollution?" ”
Tony was stunned for a moment.
"Or take it a step further, you dismantle the reactor in your chest and try to replace it with a clean energy battery?" Lu Mingfei continued, "Anyway, the magnet on your chest shouldn't consume much power, and with your ability, it shouldn't be difficult to research a clean battery that can continuously supply energy to the magnet on your chest for more than a week, right?" It's a big deal to exchange logistics for points. ”
Tony suddenly fell silent and sat down on the couch in a daze.
"Tony? Tony? Lu Mingfei asked tentatively, "Is there anything wrong with my proposal?" ”
Tony stood up suddenly, said with a stiff face, "Mingfei, you wait a while, I'm going back to the lab to do an experiment." ”
With that, Tony strode towards the lab, looking no different than usual.
That is, until he walked into the door of the lab and fell in with his left foot and his right foot.
The door to the laboratory was shut, and Lu Mingfei seemed to be able to faintly hear Tony's cheers coming from inside.
