Chapter forty-eight
The weather in New York began to gradually get colder, and the early morning mist attached to the window glass, leaving a layer of hazy white, making the street lights that had just been lit out of a dim light and shadow.
Schiller sat at the desk in Stark's laboratory with a cup of coffee. Stark walked over with a pile of data and said, "I have to change the No. 5 joint, and then do a control group experiment with No. 13. There are also problems with the No. 7 arm armor data, I will re-adjust later..."
Schiller said: "You can't rest for a while? Are you not tired?"
Stark spread the data on the table to sort it out, and said, "You have asked me this question at least 20 times in a night. I started asking it since 7pm last night and kept asking until 7am today."
"That's because you've been pulling me to do experiments since 7pm last night, and I haven't even had enough time to have a cup of coffee."
"Then what are you doing now? It's already 3 minutes passed, have you finished drinking it? We still have two sets of experiments to do, and we have to finish it before 8 o'clock today."
Schiller fell head-on on the table.
Peter walked out from behind the glass door of the laboratory with two documents. He said: "Mr. Stark, the external bracket of the 5th leg bone seems to be a little problem. In the third data Jarvis just gave me, the bone support structure seems to be unstable, and the bracket also has the risk of fragmentation. Although Jarvis suggested that we replace the material, if we use too hard keels, the flexibility and flexibility will be weakened..."
Stark took the information from Peter, looked at it and said, "This is not a big problem."
He reached out and pointed it to Peter on the design drawing. "We will add a buffer system to this joint later, and then move it downwards by two centimeters..."
Peter thought with his hand touching his chin, and Stark stepped forward and pulled Schiller up, saying, "It usually takes only 3 seconds for you to drink an espresso. Now you have been drinking it for almost 5 minutes. Get up and work."
"My magical ability needs to be restored..."
"Who I remember saying that that's a low-end operation?"
Schiller covered his eyes and said, "Can you get a complete set of mechas, and I will use it once, and then you can use it directly? Why do you have to disassemble it into one part and one to do an experiment?"
Stark said speechlessly: "Why do I sometimes think you understand these things very much, but sometimes I think you are a mechanical idiot."
He spread the design drawing on the table, then pointed to the pattern on it and said, "Did you see it? After you used magic to help me solve the problem of shrinking and expanding Mark 4, I can focus the design on its performance and function, but once I improve the performance and function of a certain part, I have to retest whether it can be narrowed down and expanded, or whether the functions after expansion are the same as I expected."
"So I have to do a lot of modular experiments to test whether a function will achieve its effect as I expected when it is narrowed and expanded separately."
"So is there any component that doesn't achieve your effect?" Schiller asked.
"What if it's the next one?" Stark said.
This group of damn rigorous science students, Schiller fell on the table again.
Peter said: "I agree with Mr. Stark's words. The manufacturing of this kind of mecha is not a joke. Once you fly to a height of tens of thousands of meters and there is a problem with a certain part, it will be too dangerous."
“More than that,” Stark said while sorting out the design drawings: “Low power operation and high power or even overclocking operation are different. You have to make sure it is as perfect as possible at every energy efficiency output level.”
Then Stark pulled Schiller's arm and pulled him to the edge of the laboratory bench. Peter handed over a part, Schiller broke it and reorganized it, and then Stark took it to test it, Peter handed over another part, Schiller decomposed and reorganized it, and then took it to test it.
Peter and Stark were doing experiments, but Schiller felt that he was just a light bulb on the assembly line.
The symbiosis kept repeating in his mind: "Their heads smell so good, they smell so good, I want to eat them so much, can I eat one of them? Just eat one, and then the other one will eat the next meal. I want to eat the blue-eyed one first..."
Schiller discovered that symbionts seemed to be able to detect human brain waves. When a person's brain began to move rapidly, he would sense a pheromone released in their brains. The faster the brain moves, the more fragrant it smells.
Unfortunately, super geniuses like Peter and Stark, their brains are like walking super fragrant fried chicken to the symbiote, and they cannot be refused at all.
Somehow, the symbiote also learned to play the sound of saliva repeatedly in Schiller's mind, and he was hungry when he heard it.
Schiller twisted the last light bulb he handed over and said, "Let's go eat something, aren't you hungry?"
Stark threw two compressed cookies at him and said, "Thanks to SHIELD's new stuff, I can work for 40 hours in a row now."
Schiller took a deep breath and said, "Then aren't you sleepy? And you, Peter, you shouldn't have gone to bed for almost two days, right?"
"The reason I asked this kid to come over is that he is much more energetic than others."
Peter also shrugged and said, "Since I have gained the ability, I only need to sleep for a short while to keep my energy alive. I just slept in the lounge for 15 minutes and now I feel pretty good."
"It's better to say, why do you feel sleepy as a mage? Do you have any magic to refresh yourself?"
Schiller actually didn't feel physically sleepy. With a symbiosis, he could even not eat, drink or sleep. However, anyone who has twisted the light bulb here for more than 20 hours will feel mentally sleepy.
Schiller actually didn't understand the design of their armor at all, but whenever Stark walked out from behind the glass door and excitedly showed his new ideas, Schiller would play the cheerleader to applaud him. If he didn't do this, Stark would then rush into the glass door, and then come out with a series of twilight explosions.
Stark said: "How can you be so indifferent to such a great cause? This is a milestone in the history of human science! Perhaps it is also magical! For the first time, we have combined the products of human technology with a new magical power. Don't you expect the results they produce?"
"I'm more concerned about another issue," Schiller said. "Are you going to call this series of armor Mark? I think it should have a new name."
"New name? What do you think of the S series? Your first letters and my last name."
"Peter will be sad, and he is involved in the manufacturing."
Stark scratched his head and Peter said, "I don't care about this, but compared to the name, I think the new armor should have a cooler appearance, which is completely different from the Mark series."
“I think you can design it in blue,” Schiller said. “It matches magic and can also be distinguished from your Mark series.”
"So let's get faster. As long as we test all the parts, we can start assembling it, and soon we can paint it with a nice color. I think blue and silver are good."
"Also." Stark looked at Schiller and said, "I think this mecha should have a little magical attack ability."
"But I'm sorry, the magic I learned doesn't have any attacking ability," Schiller said.
"What about that weightlessness technique? I think it's good to be able to float objects."
"You can think about magnetism." Schiller betrayed Magneto without any psychological burden, saying: "Maybe the magnetism is stronger than you think."
By the time Natasha came, the three of them had not been asleep for nearly 50 hours. Schiller and Peter looked normal because of their superpowers. But Stark held a huge panda eye and Natasha said, "We are almost sending you a missing person notice. You have disappeared for almost three days."
"But we have a great result!" Stark said.
Then, Natasha saw Stark take out a cigarette, and the female agent smiled and said, "It seems that you are still so confused. Since I joined S.H.I.E.L.D., I have stopped smoking."
"You're just thinking about health care now, is it a little late?" Schiller asked her.
"Health preservation? I'm not for health preservation! Which Russian has ever seen? The damn smoke alarm in SHIELD's office sounds more than 20 times a day. I can't stand it and I quit smoking after I'm so quarrel that I can't stand it."
"Hey, look here! What are you talking about? Look at me and see my results!" said Stark.
He threw the cigarette upwards, and in an instant, a pair of silver and dark blue mechas appeared on him.
The shapes of this mecha are indeed slightly different from those of the Mark series. They look thinner, smoother, and more suitable for Stark's body shape. Moreover, they will not make any mechanical sounds from other armors during the arming process and activities. It is more of a set of tights with a unique shape than a mecha.
Schiller stood up and said, "Originally you were 10 cm taller than me in a mecha, but now you are only 3 cm taller."
"Is this the point?!"
"Of course, because you don't wear mechs, you're a centimeter shorter than me."
"It's two centimeters shorter, sir," said Peter, "you have to subtract your shoes."
Stark took a deep breath, and he leaped gently, and the armor floated in the air, not as loud as before. Stark said: "Thank you for giving me inspiration. I also think the jet power is a bit reduced, but this magnetic levitation system is still a bit immature, and I need to improve it."
Schiller hurriedly asked Natasha: "Does Nick Fury have something to ask me for? I can go over and issue him another invoice, as big as possible."
Natasha said: "Okay, something is wrong, 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, Nasheller..." Stark said,
"No, no, I've collected a lot of money from SHIELD, and I feel it's necessary to give them all a basic psychological and emotional test, you know, it's important for some field agents to prevent them from going crazy with anxiety."
“No charge this time?”
