I, Doomsday, stayed inside the Sun's core for a hundred thousand years! - Chapter 23

Chapter 23: Progress of Iron Man and Iron Monger

From that day onward, Tony completely devoted himself to the research and development of Mark’s armor.

First, he made the steel boots within five days, and the most important thing was that the flying machine was attached to them.

The development of the Steel Armor was suspended because although the Armor had been completed, only the installation of the flying machine was left. That’s why the boots were developed first.

And before their development, the most important research on the Ark reactor had already been completed.

It was Tony’s father, Howard, who had built the large-scale palladium Ark reactor thirty years ago. Tony already knew the exact principle, so he only needed less than a night to create a mini Ark reactor.

It had now been made into a round, battery-like shape and set aside.

Lu Yuan watched all of this with his own eyes. Tony was not on guard against him because, in Tony’s opinion, all of this was Lu Yuan’s inspiration.

Tony did not know that Lu Yuan only knew about it because he had seen the movie “Iron Man”. The exact process was only done by Tony, so he really did not know what to do.

After all, Lu Yuan was once a general, a commander-in-chief, but not an engineer or an electrician, much less a scientist.

Even though Tony had developed a small Ark reactor in just one night, it would be very difficult for anyone else to do it.

For example, Obadiah had not yet realized the difficulty of making the small Ark reactor, and he was currently developing his Iron Monger in full swing.

Obadiah was in the company’s research and development department and he had more comprehensive equipment, more scientific and technical personnel, as well as more available materials.

Hence, he tried to perfect the Iron Monger as much as possible, by increasing as much armor, tonnage, and weapons as possible.

He wanted to turn his battle suit into a giant, which was why it was called Iron Monger.

This armor was his opportunity to turn things around. He needed to rely on Iron Monger to obtain the support of the United States. At that time, no one would say anything, even if he killed Tony.

This was the United States, where anyone could have unlimited power and privilege as long as they had enough leverage and qualification.

On Tony’s side.

By the fifth day, he had built the steel boots, and even the flying machine had been mounted. However, the switch of the flying machine had to be controlled by hand, and there was only a pair of boots. Only a few wires were used to connect them with the Ark reactor.

However, Tony could not wait to experiment.

Lu Yuan was speechless as he held a video recorder to record Tony’s experiment.

“In the first flight experiment, the goal is to fly ten centimeters above the ground from the recording point and make a circle.” Tony placed a square mark under his feet. He wanted to fly ten centimeters above it and make a circle.

Lu Yuan nodded as he looked at the camera. He was still holding an apple in his hand and eating it because he did not take it seriously.

It was a flight of just ten centimeters. Of course, he didn’t care about it at all.

However, Tony was very concerned, as this was the first time he was about to personally experience this kind of flying method. He thought that it must be very cool.

“Here it comes.” Tony took a deep breath and slowly pressed the button of the switch in his hand.

Right now, he was only wearing equipment under his feet, and this was the first time he was testing this method of flying.

“Phew.”

Ultrasonic waves of air were released from Tony’s boots. It was a pulse that was released by using the palladium Ark reactor as the energy source. Tony slowly flew into the air with the power of propulsion.

“I flew? I can fly now? Haha.” Tony could not help but laugh. In fact, he had just begun to take off. Because there were only a few simple lines that were connecting the boots to the Ark reactor, the energy transmission was not much, so the power of this pulse was very small.

He could fly because he was only wearing a pair of shoes. If he was already wearing complete steel armor, he would definitely not be able to fly.

This was also why Tony had said that his goal was to fly only ten centimeters from the ground. It seemed like he already knew about it.

However, he did get his feet off the ground.

Even Lu Yuan could not help but clap for him because he understood this feeling. Back then, he had also been just as excited when he flew for the first time.

Soon Tony lost control. This was his first time experiencing the feeling of flying, so he could not adapt at all, nor could he control his direction.

Tony almost crashed into a device head-on.

Fortunately, Lu Yuan had been watching from the side. At the critical moment, he grabbed Tony’s shoulder and held him down.

Tony heaved a sigh of relief. He had almost everything in his studio, and most of it was steel equipment. If he bumped into a sharp corner, his life would be in danger.

“You have to be more careful in the future,” Lu Yuan had to warn Tony. He still remembered that he was a bodyguard.

In a blink of an eye, Tony started to show off to Lu Yuan again: “Hey, Lu Yuan, have you seen it? I can fly.”

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded as he floated in the air. “Yes, yes. I know. You can fly. Look, I can fly too.”

Tony was left speechless.

This bastard really knew how to use the right opportunity to splash cold water.

Lu Yuan had not only been in a spaceship before, but he even knew how to fly himself after becoming Superman. Of course, he was used to it.

However, Tony could not calm down for a long time. He was feeling great. If he had only wanted to get this new technology before, now he would develop it because of his own interest.

He couldn’t stop himself anymore. He even began to fantasize about how fast he would be able to fly when he could transfer the energy to his entire body after completing this entire set of equipment.

This was not the same as driving a sports car. It was a completely different feeling.

Afterward, Tony focused on completing the steel armor.

Lu Yuan stood to the side and witnessed it with his own eyes. Although there was no classical sound of iron making in the cave and the experience and hardships of growing up were also reduced, but it was undeniable that Tony was still the Iron Man in his heart. When he threw himself into it, it was exactly the same as in the movie.

Even Lu Yuan, who was also a man, had to nod his head in approval.

Of course, this made Tony shiver, and he quickly chased him away.

He felt goosebumps, and a chill ran down his spine when he was affectionally watched by a man like that.

After Lu Yuan left, he went back upstairs to his room and drank a bottle of good wine that he took from Tony’s wine cellar.

At the same time, he did not forget to pay attention to Obadiah.

Lu Yuan realized that in these ten days, Obadiah was not slow either. The Iron Monger was almost finished.

But the most critical problem was that none of Obadiah’s scientists could produce the miniature palladium-arc reactor.

In other words, even after looking at the principles of the large palladium arc reactor, it was impossible for them to make a small Ark reactor.

This was the difference between geniuses and ordinary people.

“Looks like I’ll have to help him out.”
