After living here for half a year, I have built up some trust with him - I just saved his life again.
When Stark heard that it was him who did it to Lei Mu, question marks appeared on his forehead and he looked up and down at the person opposite him hesitantly.
What did you do? Stocks? You bought my company's stocks, right?
Ward F***?
Chapter 21. Why can’t Iron Man die from falling?
Looking at Stark's question mark face, Lai Mu spread his hands innocently.
"The Internet is very simple and easy to make money. Technology patents, short-term stock market, cryptocurrency trading, etc., all make money quickly. Then I invested all of it in Stark Industries stocks."
Lai Mu added confidently: "You have to believe in my ability and technology. And I am willing to invest in your company because of my trust in you."
This statement is half true and half false, retaining the part about black-eating-black and exaggerating the source of funds from legitimate channels.
Lai Mu tilted his head again, trying to get away with it, "I just came to Earth and have nothing. I need to have a little bit of wealth to rely on. Don't worry, I'm using legitimate means."
Stark felt his head buzzing and the pain became worse. He had always known that Lemu Etxeberria was not a quiet guy, but he never thought that he could cause such a big thing without making any noise.
Justified? Justified!
Stark Industries is in decline now, but 15% of the shares are not so easy to obtain.
"Tell me, through what legitimate means can one raise 10 or 20 billion in just a few months? Look at my face, is there the word idiot written on it?"
"Have……"
……
In the end, Lai Mu managed to get away with it after he selectively showed some information.
The Great Sage raised part of the funds through technology monetization in the past six months, part of the funds harvested through stock market operations, and other messy legal channels, which are visible to the public. Add to that the part exaggerated by falsifying accounts, and the total amount shown is about several billion.
When a person demonstrates the ability to earn one million, no one will delve into how he made two million.
Stark was relieved to see this. He also didn't want to see the aliens he had been living with for half a year committing crimes or even opposing humans.
After half a year of getting to know each other, Stark thought he had more or less understood this 'alien' named Lemu.
He is a bit evil, but he has no ambition to rule the earth or destroy mankind. He is just an ordinary alien boy. Otherwise, it would be easy for him to cause some damage to mankind with his ability.
Although he is as unreliable as I am, his nature is pretty good and his values are within the normal range. He has an extraordinary acceptance of human beings and human culture.
So far, it seems that this alien is relatively well-behaved.
Instead, there is another matter related to life and death that needs attention.
The Mark II was too fast and had too much acceleration capability.
Excessively powerful power puts a great strain on the body during acceleration, and the Mach 2 speed itself is very dangerous.
Just now, Stark almost died when he fell from the rooftop into the garage. If he had hit something else at high speed, or was hit head-on by a guided missile, even if the outer armor was fine, the person inside the armor would have been shocked to death.
You can refer to tofu that is shaken vigorously in a jar.
It was only when Stark asked this question that Lemu noticed it. After all, slimes are almost immune to blunt injuries and their ability to withstand pressure is much higher than that of humans.
Considering that Stark is just an ordinary human being, Lemu came up with an idea.
He turned on the 3D projection and wrote and drew on it.
"I have an idea, you see."
"If we can construct a volume force field inside the armor like this, and apply a volume force of the same direction and magnitude while the human body is bearing the external contact force, we can put the human body in a weightless state without oppression, and avoid deformation of the human body due to pressure."
"Transfer the pressure to the volume force generating device. As long as the armor is intact and functions normally, the human body will not be injured. Our technology should be able to achieve this."
Volume force is a non-contact force acting on all fluid elements across space, such as gravity, inertia, electromagnetic force, etc. It will directly act on every smallest force unit within the range.
For example, a person in a uniform gravitational field will not be crushed to death by gravity during free fall, because the force on the human body is evenly distributed and will not deform.
If there is a ten-ton iron plate placed on your head and pressing down on you at an acceleration of one G, you will deeply feel the force from the iron plate.
But if you fall from the air with the iron plate above your head, the iron plate will not exert any force on your human body before you hit the ground.
Because the speed and acceleration are the same, there is no squeezing and collision between objects, so there will be no deformation, and without deformation there will be no harm.
If the volume force field can be constructed in the desired size and direction at will and react within milliseconds, it can ensure safety in any collision, and the armor and the human body will not be broken.
In such a model, the armor is the iron plate that can never crush a person in free fall, and instead bears all external contact forces for the human body.
After rigorous discussion and demonstration.
The two agreed that the idea of protecting the human body through a force field was technically feasible.
And there is no need to start over again. In Stark's memory, his father Howard seemed to have done similar research when he was alive.
They went down the narrow stairs to a deeper underground warehouse.
Sure enough, Stark found an old anti-gravity device and corresponding drawings in the corner.
Stark picked up the square device the size of a desktop host and brushed off the dust. It was a real antique that was decades old.
Looking at this device made by my father himself, it is hard not to feel a little sad.
He whistled to clear his mind of all the messy thoughts and waved to Lai Mu who was looking around to come over. "This is one of the legacies left by the old man. The official name should be called the Gravity Field Controller."
"It has been sitting here gathering dust for decades, and it's useless. It consumes too much power, and given the materials used at the time, it would burn itself out in just a dozen seconds."
As early as the 1943 Tomorrowland World Expo, Howard exhibited a semi-finished anti-gravity car.
The principle is to use a force field generator to generate a force field in the opposite direction of the earth's gravity field, offsetting the influence of gravity on objects to achieve anti-gravity floating.
Lai Mu reached out and knocked on it. It was made of metal. He then looked at the blueprint beside him and said, "Almost all the heat comes from the internal circuits, not the force field components. Therefore, we need a little bit of room-temperature superconductivity."
"As for this component... it should be possible to miniaturize it according to this structure. If we make some changes here and there, we should be able to increase the instantaneous power by several thousand times."
It is difficult to increase the constant power by thousands of times, but it is much easier to increase the instantaneous power by thousands of times. The technical difficulty is not on the same order of magnitude.
Stark agreed, "And the small reactor I built can provide it with plenty of energy."
Chapter 22. Are you not attracted to the opposite sex at all?
three days later.
Based on the legacy left by Howard, new equipment that met the requirements was successfully manufactured after redesign and improvement.
It looks only the size of a mobile phone, and it looks like an ordinary black brick when placed on a desktop. In theory, as long as four are embedded in the armor, two in the front and two in the back, it can protect the safety of the human body.
Stark renamed the device, giving it an extremely ugly name, 'Gravity Field Type β Uniform Human Kinetic Energy Control Device' - α being the experimental model.
Abbreviated as Human-Engineered Control, or the ugly (crossed out) HKEC.
Based on this patched enhanced version, Lai Mu got three sets of complete manufacturing materials for the Ghost Armor and placed them in the dimensional space.
They are backup, backup when there is no backup, and backup of the backup of the backup.
One of Laimu's first skills, Predator, has the ability to analyze and mimic. Combined with the Great Sage's terrifying computing power, it can directly use raw materials to replicate the exact same ghost armor without the production line.
……
The design and manufacture of the Iron Man suit has finally come to an end.
Lai Mu had a rare moment of free time to sit down and have a good rest. He was the only one in the huge underground studio, and the table in front of him was filled with all kinds of snacks.
Pickled pepper chicken feet, spicy dried fish, spiced melon seeds, original rice crackers, strange-flavored peanuts, sugar-fried duduko...
So depraved!
Just as the foodie was enjoying the rare Manchu Han Banquet (snack limited edition) and drinking Coke and Sprite, a phone call came in.
On the other end of the video is old Aimik, he is still the same, looking kind...
Old Aimik had his signature smile on his face, but his eyes were so cold and ruthless, "Mr. Etxeberria, do you still remember that you were a student at Los Angeles Tech?"
"Ah this..."
Lai Mu scratched his head with a simple smile on his face, and raised his hand to turn off the video. "Ami Ke, I have something else to do. The research has reached a critical juncture. I'm really sorry, let's talk later."
This would be a good excuse if a corner of the video didn't reveal the table piled high with snacks.
Aimik waved his hands helplessly, not wanting to listen to his nonsense. "Alright, alright, I'm not here to accuse you this time. I don't know what kind of person you are."
"I'm just telling you that because you didn't come to class, your score for some subjects is zero, so you can't graduate. And many of your exams overlap. Do you plan to split your time into two to take the exams?"
"It would be best if you publish some papers or win some awards so that I can apply for course exemption for you. In principle, an excellent paper can be used to apply for a course exemption in the corresponding field, but I'm afraid it's too late for you. I'll go through the special process for you."
"Anyway, hand over something first. The heavier the better. Bring out the water apple that will make others willingly let you go through the special passage, and then I can help you deal with it."
"Hmm."
Lai Mu nodded, well behaved.jpg
"One more thing, go out more when you have time. You said you wanted to come to school to experience life, and I remember everything. You haven't been to school for the second time. Studying and researching are important, but mental and physical health cannot be ignored."
"As someone who has been dragged down by health problems, I would like to say a few more words. Please don't think I am nagging you. The health of young people is not only your own health, but also the health of the future of mankind."
"One more thing. I have an interesting international astrophysics conference here. There is one spot left. If you are interested, I will reserve it for you."
Old Aimik’s lifelong wish is for a bright future for both academia and humanity.
He is old, and often feels that his brain power is not as strong as when he was young, and his memory is not as good.
My body has become ill because I worked on research day and night when I was young. I was hospitalized last year and almost died. This is what made me feel like writing this.
After all, the future must be entrusted to the young.
This is also one of the reasons why old Aimik treats Lei Mu well in every way. It is not only because he favors geniuses, but also because he places hope on them.
Lai Mu felt old Aimik's kindness.
But Stark's Mark II had just been completed not long ago, and it would soon be the critical juncture for Iron Man's debut, so it was not a good time to walk away.
As for the things he was researching, whether it was the Iron Man suit, the gravity field human controller, or the palladium reactor, none of them were suitable for publication.
Not only can it not be published, but it must also be kept strictly confidential. There are countless Marvel villains, and if these things are mastered by someone with ulterior motives, it will be very dangerous for him and Stark.
The more you know about something, the easier it is to find its weaknesses, just like no country would disclose all its defense information to the enemy before a war.
