Warlock of the Marvel Universe

Ross was amazed as he looked at the plan. ? ? However, as an American general, he is not as ignorant as Ivan Vanko, who grew up in Siberia.

Ross also vaguely remembered that shortly after World War II, when S.H.I.E.L.D. was still under the control of the United States, a secret project code-named "Paperclip" was implemented.

Recruit some valuable former Nazis and Hydra scientists who have not committed the unforgivable crime, and exchange their freedom for their service to the United States.

Among them was a captured scientist from Germany or Sweden. After being educated in the core values ​​of US imperialism, he was determined to change his past, start a new life, and resolutely devoted himself to the great cause of contributing to the capitalist world.

This scientist once proposed a similar theory, in which mechanical prostheses are connected to the human body and directly controlled by the human nervous system.

But I don’t know why, but the research on this theory was inexplicably terminated later. It was probably a failure, and the scientist died of illness decades ago.

Because of this, when Ross saw the plan in front of him, although he still felt crazy and bold, he didn't feel too abrupt.

"As long as the nervous system is not too damaged and remains awake, the mechanical exoskeleton can ensure the human body's ability to move." Ross slowly closed the plan, placed it on the table, and tapped it with his fingers. Name, half-jokingly said, "Gospel plan? Haha, this is really good news. I think in the future, even patients with high paraplegia will not have a problem getting out of bed and walking. But I think if you use him to cooperate with the medical department, it will It’s more appropriate.”

"I need to remind the general that this is only part of the gospel plan. His official project name is Edge of Tomorrow." Oreses seemed a bit formal. "Our company has indeed launched a civilian version of this product for disabled patients. plan."

"However, restoring the ability of disabled people to move can be regarded as a medical device for civilian use." Oreses squinted her eyes and said, "But if an ordinary person can casually punch a five-hundred-pound punch, is it still within the scope of civilian use? ?”

"You must know that machinery is different from human muscles. It does not require long-term exercise to increase its output. It only needs to draw a hydraulic press."

"I know." Ross was just joking. Of course he could see the military value of this plan. "But are you really sure that this so-called edge of tomorrow solution will be more suitable for the military than augmented human technology?"

He has been studying the technology of augmented humans for half his life. Although it ended in failure, he also summed up some knowledge and experience.But regarding the plan in front of him, he had indeed heard of it before, but it was only from hearing that he had no understanding at all, so he was a little unsure.

"You should have seen what those enhanced human corpses look like, right?" Salolas asked. "what do you think?"

"Well... to be honest... it's pretty ugly." Ross replied dryly.

Although Ross has not seen those enhanced people in person, he has seen the video materials.The size of those guys is beyond the range of ordinary people. As for their appearance...hehe, although they are not as hateful as they are, they are still so ugly that they have no friends.

"I can tell you very responsibly." Salolas said solemnly, "Due to current technology, all normal people who have been enhanced will become like that, and this change is irreversible. As long as they are enhanced, they will remain there for the rest of their lives." Like this. Do you think your soldiers are ready to sacrifice themselves for the country?"

Rose knew without even thinking that this was definitely impossible.After all, being a soldier only lasts a few years, but good looks are related to a lifetime of happiness.And the spirit of American soldiers to sacrifice for their country... Well, everyone knows it.

"But this machine is different. As long as there are no mistakes during the installation process, it will not cause trauma, and it will be no different from ordinary people after it is dismantled. In the end, it is just a tool that is closely connected to the human body. "

"Furthermore, this exoskeleton can assist soldiers to move continuously for two hours at a speed of 25 kilometers per hour, control the sprint to 15 meters within eight seconds, and overturn a car with bare hands. The supercharger embedded in the back The air equipment allows soldiers to jump on a [-]-meter-high wall. The adsorption equipment on the soles of the feet allows people to briefly run on vertical walls. It can be said that he can do everything that an enhanced person can do. He did what he couldn’t do.”

This is also thanks to our martyr Ivan Vanko, who not only compiled the drawings of Gnoss, but also designed these functions at the suggestion of Sarah.

"And this machine can also avoid many insignificant accusations, humanitarianism, and the anti-biological and chemical weapons convention. These can be avoided."

"But..." Ross rubbed his chin, opened the document and pointed at the top and said, "But this protection is too poor, isn't it?"

No wonder Ross said this. The exoskeleton device shown in the document is indeed relatively simple. The semi-enclosed helmet is connected to a bionic metal spine. On both sides is a square device with two exhaust holes on each side. That should be the neural connection device and the so-called pressurized jet equipment.Other places, except for the armor covering on the chest and abdomen, are hollow brackets composed of hydraulic bearings and mechanical joints. Although these things are spread all over the body, the protective power is basically zero.

"Can't it be made like Iron Man?" Ross suggested.

Ross said he had his own plans. Iron Man is now famous, and the military is coveting it. If similar products can be produced at this time, the cooperation will become extremely smooth.

"It can be done..." Saloras said awkwardly, "but it's not worth it at all."

"Iron Man has an artificial intelligence operating system, a new energy Ark reactor, Tony Stark's special high-strength alloy, and a carefully crafted weapon system, all of which are indispensable."

"The technology we have now can indeed replace artificial intelligence, but I think you should have seen it in the news a few days ago."

"Hmm..." Ross groaned.He has indeed seen that Justin's products can be beaten to pieces without you alone, and the comparison in combat effectiveness is huge.

"But even that kind of armor costs as much as 1 million U.S. dollars. Hmm, this price-performance ratio is simply pitiful. And it can't solve the energy supply problem. In terms of existing energy storage devices, the most it can supply is that armor. , running continuously for 10 minutes. Unless you can install a small nuclear reactor on it

, or could get the Ark Reactor from Tony. "

Finally, Saloras smiled and asked, "Do you think the current relationship between the military and Tony will be given to you by him?"

Of course I will, but I just detonated it and then threw it over. Now Tony and the military are at odds, okay?There's also that small nuclear reactor. If you wait a few more years, someone might figure it out. Don't worry.

"Even if it can't be made like that, important parts of the torso, such as the thighs, should be covered with armor. It would be very troublesome if those parts were injured on the battlefield."

"It's not necessary." Oreses said, "The most important function of those places is the ability to move, but this exoskeleton has ensured this. Even if that place is gone, as long as this exoskeleton is there, there will be no Influence action.”

"Haha," Ross said with a twitching corner of his mouth, "Don't you consider the soldiers' pain?"

He was shot in the thigh, and you still let the exoskeleton drag him and force him to move quickly?You might as well go to where he died right then and there.And based on the fighting will of the American soldier, it is estimated that he was lying on the ground immediately, waiting for the enemy to capture him. How could he endure the pain and forcefully move?

"Well, maybe we can add a powerful analgesic to the probe inserted into the spine and inject it immediately after the soldier is injured. In this case, even if his limb is amputated on the spot, he will not feel pain." Oreses Countermeasures were given on the spot.

"But if the bullet was stuck in the flesh at that time and was forcibly moved, the limb would really need to be amputated after returning." Ross said with his eyes widened.

"Our company's civilian exoskeleton prosthesis can solve his disability problem." Saloras said coldly.

Ross was lied to by 1 people at that time, and they all said he was a traitor and not a businessman, but you are too insidious, right?Deliberately lowering the protective capabilities, causing soldiers to be disabled, and then asking them to come back and buy your civilian exoskeletons, I'll stop you, this is all a routine!

Well, no.Ross suddenly thought.If the soldier is really disabled, then the military will have to pay for the prosthetic limb, as well as the disability benefits for many years to come. This is a huge expense.How about... let's discuss it and remove the piece of armor on the chest, and let the unlucky guy die in battle.

"Don't worry, these are lightweight exoskeletons that you are looking at. They are specially allocated to special forces or agents who need to move flexibly. According to the characteristics of the mission, they do not need too much protective armor that will hinder their movements."

Special forces generally perform covert operations and rarely engage in direct firefights with the enemy, so sacrificing some protective capabilities to increase mobility is considered the right decision.

"For soldiers who need frontal assault, we have heavy-duty exoskeletons with powerful firepower and excellent protection. Of course, in terms of flexibility, they are not as high as this lightweight one."

"It doesn't matter." Ross understood.In a head-on conflict, there will definitely be a hail of bullets. No matter how flexible your movements are, you can't dodge the bullets, so protection and firepower are even more important.

"If it's as you said..." Ross said, "Then I'm sure the military will cooperate with you."

"But..." At this time, Ross became embarrassed again, "To be honest, someone has mentioned a similar plan before, but the research in this area has come to an end, so for most people, your technology is too unfamiliar. , I can’t guarantee whether the military will grant you a large amount of research funding.”

According to Ross's understanding, the co-tenancy model for this kind of project should be that you come up with a design that looks reliable and interests the military, and then the military will allocate funds to you to support your continued research, and finally come up with a finished product.

However, in the Star Wars project during the Cold War, there were too many fanciful studies, which wasted a large amount of military scientific research funds. This made the military strictly control funds for design research that was too fantasy.

The technology currently provided by the other party, including exoskeletons and weapons, is easy to say. The key is the neural connection. In the eyes of those conservative generals, it is absolutely another fantasy.

Therefore, Ross is not sure how much he will approve, or it is possible that he will not approve it at all.

"No need." Olaise said.

"I will try my best to fight for you. After all, this is... wait, what did you say?" Ross' eyes widened and he asked in disbelief.

"I said, we don't need military funds." Orese said with certainty. "We have sufficient research funds of our own!"

Seriously, who has a grudge against money?Even if these two female devils haven't been here for too long, they know that those green bills are good things. At least they know that the money they usually smoke and play with is all bought with money.So this was not their intention, but arranged by Evanson.

Huh?This seems even more impossible. How could that poor guy push his money outside?

But there is nothing that can be done about it. As the top leader of an empty shell company, he knows that in order to give others a sense of inscrutability, in addition to being able to come up with some practical information, he must also be able to stand up and put it bluntly. The only thing is to pretend to be cool.

Military research funding?Phew, I don’t care!The strength of my company is unfathomable, and its funds are as abundant as the nuclear warheads of the peninsula country. It doesn’t care about your little money at all. Don’t ask me why, my skills are so high!

Ah, my heart suddenly hurts.

"But you also need to do us a small favor, General." At this time, Olaise made a request.

"Please tell me." At this time, Ross was still a little confused by the other party's behavior of pushing money out. He didn't know whether it was because he really felt that the other party was a company with unfathomable strength, or because he felt that the other party's boss was definitely a jerk. goods.

"In order to facilitate cooperation, I will register a pioneer company in the near future to specialize in the production of this exoskeleton armor. The company's name is neRV. We have already prepared the registered capital and research funds. But SHIELD has been keeping a close eye on it recently. .So I hope you can provide a safe account so that we can transfer the funds secretly."

"Huh?" Ross thought for a moment and said, "I also have a military account in my hand, which is specially used to receive similar funds. SHIELD can't find out. By the way, how much is that money?"

"$6 billion."

Ross: "..." Are you sure you established a pioneer company and not a head office?
