The weather in New York is gradually getting colder, and the early morning mist adheres to the glass of the windows, leaving a hazy white layer, which blurs the just-lit street lamps into a dim circle of light and shadow. Sōugo was sitting at Tony's lab with a cup of coffee, and Tony walked over with a large pile of data.
"I need to remodel joint 5, then joint 13. A control experiment and the data on the outer armor Mark-7 arm are also problematic. I will readjust it later..."
"Can't you take a break? Aren't you tired?"
Tony spread the data on the table and said, "You have asked me this question at least 20 times. It started at 7 o'clock last night and continued until this morning."
"That's because you have been pulling me to do experiments since 7 o'clock last night, and I didn't even have time to drink a cup of coffee."
"It's been 3 minutes, are you finished? We still have groups of experiments to d!."
Sōugo slumped on the table.
"Mr. Stark, there is a problem with the external support of the Mark-5 leg. The skeletal support structure tends to become unstable. The scaffolds are at risk of shattering. Jarvis suggests us to change the material…"
Peter came out from behind the laboratory glass door holding two documents. Tony took the material from Peter, looked at it, and spoke,
"This is not a big problem. We'll add a cushioning system to this joint and then move it down two centimeters..."
"Understood" Peter touched his chin with his hand and thought!
Tony stepped forward and pulled Sōugo up, he said: "Usually it only takes 3 seconds to drink a cup of espresso, you have been drinking for 5 minutes, hurry up and work. "
"My magical ability needs to be restored..."
"I remember someone said that it was a low-end operation?"
Sōugo covered his eyes and said, "Can you get a complete set of mecha over here, and then I cast a magic spell on it, and then you can use it directly, why do you have to disassemble it into parts one by one? Parts for experimentation?"
"Why do I sometimes think you understand these things very well, but sometimes I think you are a mechanical idiot? When shrinking and unwrapping Mark-4, I can focus the design on it. performance and functionality, but once I improve the performance and functionality of a part, I have to re-test whether it can shrink and expand, or whether the expanded function is the same as I expected. So I had to do a lot of modular experimentation to test whether a feature when shrunk and expanded individually, would do what I expected it to do."
"So is there any part that doesn't work well? I even upgraded it a bit!" Sōugo asked.
"What if it's the next one does not work?" Tony said.
"..." These **** rigorous science students, Sōugo fell to the table again.
Peter said: "I agree with Mr.Stark, the manufacture of this mecha is not a joke, once you fly to an altitude of tens of thousands of meters and a certain part fails, it is too dangerous. "
"More than that," Tony said as he sorted through the blueprints: "Low power is not the same as high power or even overclocking, and you have to make sure it's as perfect as possible at each level of efficiency output. Performance."
Then Tony grabbed Sōugo's arm and pulled him to the edge of the test bench. Peter and Tony were experimenting, but Sōugo felt like he was forced to watch Boku No pico~!"
"Let's go eat something, aren't you hungry?"
Tony threw him two compressed cookies and said, "Thanks to the new stuff from S.H.I.E.L.D., I can now work 40 hours straight."
Sōugo took a deep breath and said, "Aren't you sleepy? And you, Peter, you shouldn't have slept for almost two days, right?"
"The reason I brought this kid here is that he has more energy than others."
"Since I gained the ability, I only need to sleep for a short time to stay energetic. I just slept in the lounge for 15 minutes and I feel pretty good now."
"How about you, a mage, why do you feel sleepy? Don't you have any refreshing magic?"
"Not physically but mentally. There is no free Lunch"
"How can you be so indifferent to such a great cause? This is a milestone in the history of human science! Maybe also magical! For the first time, we have combined the products of human technology with new magical power. Together, don't you look forward to what they produce?"
"I'm more concerned about another issue." Sōugo said, "Are you going to call this series of armors Mark? I think it should have a new name."
"New name? What do you think of the S series? Your first name and my initials."
"Peter will be sad, and he was also involved in making it."
Tony scratched his head, Peter said, "I don't care about that, but compared to the name, I think the new armor should have a cooler appearance, something completely different from the Mark series."
"I think you can design it in blue," Sōugo said. "It goes well with magic and can be distinguished from your Mark series. Personally, I Call it Rider System."
"Then let's hurry up, as soon as we've tested all the parts, we can start assembling it, and soon we can paint him a nice color, I think blue and silver go well well."
"In addition." Tony looked at Sōugo and said, "I think this mecha should have a little magic attack ability."
"But I'm sorry, the magic I learned doesn't have any offensive ability,"
"What about the weightlessness technique? I think it's not bad to be able to float objects."
"You can think about magnetism." Sōugo betrayed Magneto without any psychological burden. He said, "Maybe the magnetism is stronger than you think."
By the time Natasha came over, the three had not slept for more than 50 hours. Sōugo and Peter looked normal because of their superpowers, but Tony wore a giant panda eye. Natasha said: "We almost sent you a missing person notice, and you disappeared for almost three days."
"But we had a great result!" Tony said.
Immediately afterward, Natasha saw that Tony took out a cigarette, and the female agent smiled and said, "It seems that you are still so confused. Since I joined SHIELD, I have stopped smoking."
"Is it too late for you to think about taking care of your health until now?" Sōugo asked her.
"Health? I'm not for health! The **** smoke alarm in the S.H.I.E.L.D. office goes off more than 20 times a day. I couldn't stand the noise from it, so I quit smoking."
"Hey, look here! What are you talking about? Look at me, see my results!" Tony said.
He threw the cigarette up, and in an instant, a mecha composed of silver and dark blue appeared on him.
The shape of this mech is slightly different from the Mark series. It is thinner, smoother, and more suitable for Tony's body shape, and he will not emit any other machinery during the process of arming and activities. The sound is not so much a mecha as it is a set of uniquely shaped tights.
Sōugo stood up and said, "You were 10 centimeters taller than me in your mecha, but now you are only 3 centimeters taller."
"Is this the point?!"
"Of course, because you don't wear mecha, you are one centimeter shorter than me."
"It's two centimeters shorter, sir," said Peter. "You've got to lose your shoes."
Tony took a deep breath, he jumped lightly, and the armor floated in the air, without as much movement as before, Tony said: "Thank you for giving me inspiration, I also feel that jet power is a bit pricey, However, this magnetic levitation system is still a bit immature, and I have to improve it."
Sōugo hurriedly asked Natasha, "Is Nick Fury looking for me? I can go over and give him another invoice, no matter how big it is."
Natasha said, "Well, there is something. It seems to have something to do with the group of ninjas that Captain and Peter dealt with before."
"So, you're here to find Peter, that Sōugo..." Tony said.
"No, no, I've charged a lot of money from S.H.I.E.L.D., and I think it's necessary to give them all a basic psychological and emotional test. You know, some field agents need to prevent them from going crazy with anxiety."
"No charge this time?"
"Certainly!"
