Chapter 122 The Myth Is Destroyed
After thinking for a while, he decided to give the Vulcan a new "heart".
"Very good. Once the new reactor is completed and accepted, I will have the Vulcan come here immediately to refit the new reactor. I hope that the giant shipyard that can maintain the Gorgon-class battlecruiser is ready." In fact, the lifespan of the nuclear fusion reactor It is very long, and if it does not malfunction, it does not require major surgery to replace it.
However, the carbon-nitrogen-oxygen cycle reactor is really awesome.
He would rather the Vulcan lie dormant for a few months than to replace it with this new super-powered heart.
It's great to be able to move and attack at full speed, although this will make the fire control system spend more time calculating the trajectory.
"Don't worry, Chief, we have more than one dock that meets the standards required to manufacture and maintain Gorgon-class battlecruisers." The New Dalarian Shipyard has three such giant docks. Built to specifications.
They are not available yet. Three battlecruisers are under construction, but as soon as the Pride of New Augustgrad, the first of them with the fastest progress, comes off the production line, there will be space for the Vulcan.
The other two ships, one is also the pride of New Augustgrad, and the other is a mass-produced Minotaur.
……
At the critical moment, Happy, who arrived in time in a Rolls-Royce, successfully rescued Stark.
Ivan's whip cord armor (actually the design of Ivan's whip cord armor is more similar to a personal exoskeleton) does provide a certain degree of protection and enhances Ivan's strength.
But the problem is that the magnitude of this enhancement is not large.
The main energy output of the whip cord armor is used on the two electric whips.
So when a top-of-the-line Rolls-Royce Phantom rushed towards him at full speed, Ivan could only be pushed against the wall again and again, unable to fight back.
However, his desire for revenge allowed Ivan to overcome the pain and regain his consciousness.
He knew the car was going to do bad things.
Therefore, Ivan decisively launched an attack on the Phantom.
It can be said that Happy was very conscientious in the past. Time and again, he risked being hit by the electric whip and crashed into Ivan, which bought time for Stark to catch and put on the suitcase suit Mark 5.
Although the process was not smooth.
Seeing Iron Man transform in front of his eyes, the crowd in the audience, who had been panicked by Ivan's horrific actions, became excited again.
They seemed to have forgotten the horror just now.
Stark, who put on the suit, immediately pushed away Pepper's and their immobilized Rolls-Royce. He didn't want the defenseless people around him to get hurt.
But what is a little embarrassing is that the Mark 5 seems to have shrunk too much...
In terms of flight, protection, firepower, etc., there has been a considerable reduction.
Even smaller than ASUS.
Moreover, Stark's first attack was not aimed at Ivan's head.
He chose to attack the opponent's armor because Teacher Tony wanted to get something out of this person's mouth.
He has many questions.
First of all, how on earth did this guy get an Ark Reactor.
Secondly, why did he go to such great lengths to attack himself.
But Stark obviously underestimated his opponent.
His palm cannon caused very limited damage to Ivan's armor. After Ivan took this shot, he continued to wave the terrifying electric whip like a normal person.
"Damn it, I really shouldn't have shrunk the weapon system!" Stark cursed himself in his mind.
He still regrets a little. If he had known this would happen, he should have equipped the Mark 5 with a more powerful palm energy cannon like the Mark 3 or Mark 4.
In order to reduce the weight of about one kilogram, he greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of his light armor, which was unwise.
Moreover, the current reactor can also support high-power output like the Mark 3/4.
But there was no point in regretting it. Now that he has fought with this guy who looks a little down but is ruthless enough, he can't possibly go back to a private laboratory in the United States to modify his equipment, right?
Because the electric whip had already wrapped around his body, sparks erupted from his suit.
The system of the Iron Suit began to continuously sound the alarm.
The Mark 5 with only a single layer of armor is still not strong enough.
However, Stark has another solution.
When he was directly attacked by the opponent's electric whip, he discovered that this Maozi's Ark reactor had an obvious flaw in his opinion.
The frequency is really not enough, and the output power per unit time is completely inferior to him.
And their design ideas are actually different. Ivan's design is very extreme. He only cares about lethality, and he basically doesn't think much about protection, mobility and the increase in his own strength.
It is in line with Maozi's consistent style.
Just like that flying stainless steel aircraft, in order to greatly improve the performance of one aspect, quite a lot of other aspects of performance are sacrificed.
Teacher Tony's design fully considered all aspects and was much more advanced than Ivan's concept.
However, to allow this steel suit to achieve so many functions, the cost must be very high, at least Ivan cannot afford it.
Stark endured the slight sense of electricity and the alarm sound of the suit system, and forcibly used the power given to him by the suit to forcefully drag Ivan Vanke in front of him.
Then, there are a few ruthless old punches.
Being hit by an aluminum alloy plate that was neither light nor heavy, Ivan could still endure it and continue fighting.
But after he had been hit multiple times by a heavy car and had suffered internal injuries, even a healthy and strong old man like him couldn't bear these punches again.
Ivan was pulled hard by Stark's electric whip and fell to the ground.
The pain finally made him lose his ability to fight.
No one could see the complicated expression in Stark's eyes now. Everyone only saw him unplugging the Ark reactor that had caused him a lot of trouble.
The crowd erupted in another round of cheers as their superhero emerged victorious again.
Pepper and Happy looked at each other, finally convinced that Stark had solved the problem.
The police and security guards who surrounded him immediately tortured Ivan, who was unable to resist.
But it wasn't over yet. Ivan spat out a mouthful of blood at Stark, laughed loudly, and taunted him, "You, you lost!"
"You lost! Stark, you lost! Hahahaha..." Ivan didn't stop talking before he was dragged away by the police.
Stark was left standing alone on the runway with a complicated expression.
He knew what Ivan meant.
The myth of his invincibility has been shattered.
And his previous bragging that it would be impossible for other places in the world to have advanced technological products like his steel suit within five or even ten years has also been broken.
Looking at the Ark reactor he picked up, Stark was stunned for a moment.
Then he decisively destroyed it.
At this time, fire trucks and ambulances dared to enter the scene to see how other drivers were doing and put out the fire on the track.
The reaction in the hotel was completely different.
People are more surprised.
Because in their eyes, the myth of the once invincible and arrogant Iron Man was shattered.
Anyone who is not blind can see the dilemma Stark encountered when fighting Ivan.
Different from other people's reactions, although Hammer didn't say anything on the surface, his eyes were almost ecstatic.
His expression was even revealing, but no one noticed him.
Everyone was looking at Stark on the screen and the black burn marks on his steel suit.
Hammer finally found a shortcut to defeat Stark Industries in business, and he was sure that he would succeed this time.
Monaco police station, in the interrogation room.
Ivan was naked and sitting quietly on the chair.
Stark has walked into the iron door.
He wasn't afraid that Ivan would attack him again. This guy was handcuffed.
None of this idiot's procedures were obtained through proper channels, so the Monaco authorities were unable to find out any information about him at all.
Ivan knew it was Stark who came in, but he didn't speak first.
Whoever speaks first will bow his head.
Stark couldn't help it at first, "The technology is very advanced, but the frequency is a bit low." He has always liked to attack other people's technology, whether it is technically or verbally.
All other U.S. arms dealers have been attacked by him.
However, he had to thank this guy for the low frequency of his Ark Reactor today, otherwise he might not be able to defeat the opponent with that move.
"You should double the speed." Seeing that Ivan didn't respond, Stark continued to mock him from an academic and technical perspective.
He thinks this must be useful, because at least he can't stand anyone attacking him academically and technically.
He thought Ivan might be like this too.
He was even in the mood to patiently teach Ivan how to improve his shortcomings. Anyway, he believed that this person could no longer threaten him. So what if he taught him? He might as well make the other person understand, "We might as well use the plasma channel to gather The repulsor energy will definitely have an effect, and even though it’s not very efficient, it’s still a solution.”
During this process, he has been observing the other party's reaction.
But Ivan's reaction disappointed Stark after all, and he just tilted his head slightly.
He simply sat next to Ivan and continued to verbally provoke him.
"You can try it, and with just a few tweaks, you can make a fortune. You can sell it to China, North Korea, Iran, or... simply trade it on the black market." Well, in fact, if it weren't for Paris The Steering Committee and the Wassenaar Agreement were in charge. In the past, Stark also thought about selling weapons to China.
Of course, his remarks scared the US military at the time.
Seeing the changes in the eyes of the people around him, Stark knew something was wrong. He said at the time that these words were just a casual way of saying something nice (in fact, he was really tempted), and then he calmed down the generals.
For profit, capitalists can even sell the ropes used to hang them (A: Someone wants to hang you with a rope, B: Rope? Who wants to buy the rope? I sell, I have the rope! A: ...).
Ivan sneered and raised his head and looked at Stark, "As far as I know, like all criminals, you were born into a family of robbers and thieves."
He compared Howard Stark to a robber and a thief, and also described Tony Stark as a thief.
The two sides engaged in another verbal spat.
The police officers responsible for interrogating him just now thought that Ivan Vanke could not speak English, but in fact he could, and he was quite fluent.
As the same genius, Ivan saw no need to talk nonsense to these irrelevant people.
When they asked questions, he either simply kept silent or answered in Russian that the police most likely did not understand.
Well, these Monaco police officers really don’t understand Russian.
But when it came time for him to have a verbal spat with Stark, he didn't stutter at all, just with a slight Eastern European accent.
The war of words between the two sides has even become more and more intense.
"If you can make God bleed, people will no longer believe that he is omnipotent. Your myth is shattered, and it's time for your opponent to come!" Ivan's words directly penetrated Stark's inner thoughts.
Although he was reluctant to admit it, Stark knew that Ivan was right.
People around the world no longer believe in him as they did before.
Anyone who has seen the first half of him wearing a battle suit but still being beaten by Ivan will no longer believe in him.
Moreover, the most annoying thing is that when Stark had already stood up and was about to leave, Ivan did not forget to mock him about palladium poisoning in a sinister tone.
Ivan knew very well that Stark's Ark reactor was deeply embedded in his chest.
This gave the palladium ions an excellent opportunity to spread around with his body fluids.
Stark's heart was stabbed hard again, and he was stunned for a moment.
Yes, even my enemies know where I am now.
In fact, Xia Yan also mentioned this to him many times.
However, the kind-hearted reminder from a friend and the malicious exposure of wounds from an enemy have completely different effects on him.
He didn't talk nonsense to Ivan and left directly without looking back.
Anyway, he thinks that this idiot should just spend the rest of his life in prison and never come out to disgust him again.
……
Xia Yan has not returned to Earth yet.
He was inspecting a new city district in New Augustgrad that had just been completed on Mars.
Nowadays, human buildings on Mars are completely isolated from the outside atmosphere, and the air required for breathing is basically produced and synthesized by inorganic processes.
Although these buildings are equipped with equipment for gas exchange with the outside world, these equipment have only been gathering dust for several years.
The progress of environmental transformation is far from enough. Terran human scientists have made the latest conservative estimates. They believe that the process may take more than five years.
There is no problem with the progress of heating the planet's core. The protoss' technology is very advanced.
The outer core region of Mars has begun to slowly melt, and even produced a relatively weak magnetic field.
However, it finally came back.
There is no problem in turning carbon dioxide into oxygen.
With their energy level, they can directly add ionization-level intense heat to carbon dioxide gas, and then use a centrifuge-like principle to separate carbon and oxygen nuclei with different relative atomic masses.
Even the photosynthesis of plants is not as efficient as the very violent decomposition process under this powerful energy supply.
The Terran humans who use nuclear fusion have no shortage of energy at all.
The most difficult thing now is to replenish the Martian atmosphere with the large amounts of nitrogen that has been blown away by years of solar wind.
Nitrogen is relatively light, so its relative content in the upper and middle atmospheres of most Earth-like planets is much higher than in the lower atmospheres.
When the core of Mars cools and loses its magnetic field, the lighter gases in the outer and upper middle layers are the first to be lost.
Without nitrogen, it would be impossible to build an ecological environment similar to Earth, Aiur and other planets.
Because nitrogen is an essential element for nucleic acid and protein organisms using water as a medium.
And the speed at which they obtain nitrogen now... can only be said to be a bit slow.
In addition to the continuous transportation of compressed nitrogen and liquefied nitrogen from Titan and Triton, they have not found even a trace of fixed nitrogen on Mars.
The cost of transportation is huge.
A considerable part of the profits from mining on Altair have been used in environmental transformation projects on Mars.
Precisely because of the slow rate of nitrogen replenishment, even the Protoss phase technicians who were optimistic at the beginning believed that it might take more than three years to basically restore the Martian ecosystem.
But they are still more optimistic than humans, or in other words, their ability to adapt to harsh environments is much stronger, so the two sides have somewhat different views on the biological environment.
In the worst case, they only need to absorb cosmic rays to survive (PVZ? plants vs zombies, it seems that there is nothing wrong, the enemy wins by numbers).
