American Man Trading Master

Chapter 69 Arms Race

A month has passed in the blink of an eye when the gangs fought for Rhino armor data. Since this time it was mainly a battle between gangs, the New York police were mainly responsible for the investigation, and S.H.I.E.L.D. only provided some technical support.

For Joey, even if it was a case that SHIELD was responsible for, he would usually let his subordinates handle it. As the director, he could do everything himself.

In the past month, Joey’s main job has been online classes.

That’s right, it’s online classes.

Joey read all the books about time on the Internet, and then used his identity to discuss it with some physicists who were engaged in time research. In short, he was instilled with a lot of knowledge that he seemed to understand.

The reason why he suddenly became so eager to learn was naturally not because he was looking for trouble, but because of the development of devil fruits.

In Joey's view, the so-called Slowness Fruit ability is actually the super power to control time.

When a person is hit by a slow light wave, it is not that his body becomes slow, but that the time in his entire body slows down, which is equivalent to entering a different space where time is slow. This is very consistent with the time bubble theory.

In other words, time is linked to space and does not exist independently.

If the entire time of the earth is compared to a big river, and the river water is rolling forward, then the person hit by the slow light wave is equivalent to a small bubble that suddenly pops up in the river water. Although it is still in the river water, there is another story inside. scene.

All in all, since the Slowness Fruit is the ability to control time, Joey was wondering if he could use it to achieve the state of fruit awakening if he had a deep understanding of the concept of time.

Even go a step further and develop the ability to accelerate time.

After all, controlling time is not just about slowing down, it can also be accelerated.

In short, Joey thinks that he is far better at opening up his imagination than those muscle sticks in One Piece. With sufficient theoretical science to back him up, it shouldn't be difficult to awaken the fruit.

Today, Joey was studying Einstein's special theory of relativity when there was a knock on the door.

After Black Cat opened the door, Fitz and Vulture, the pair responsible for the development of individual aircraft, walked in.

"Director, a new individual aircraft has been designed. Please take a look."

"Oh? Has it been designed yet? It's pretty quick."

Joey took the tablet and looked at it, and found that it was similar to the Falcon's flying wing, except that it had a tail and was equipped with a small cannon.

"Director, we have reduced the weight and volume of the aircraft as much as possible. According to your requirements, this aircraft can be used in cities and can flexibly turn between buildings. Due to the load-bearing relationship, the cannon can only carry 100 When firing small grenades, it is recommended to mainly use single rounds, otherwise the ammunition will be emptied soon."

Joey nodded while listening, and Vulture also added that after talking about the advantages, it’s time to talk about the disadvantages.

"The biggest shortcoming of this kind of aircraft is battery life. Even if it uses the best battery on the market, it can only support its flight for half an hour at most. Once the power is exhausted, the aircraft's ability to glide is very poor, and the pilot will immediately face a crash. Danger... It is recommended to purchase Stark Industries' Ark reactor..."

After hesitating for a moment, the vulture made a bold suggestion.

Joey glared at him and said angrily: "If I had an Ark reactor, wouldn't it be better to just make a steel armor? There is no need to make a half-toned aircraft like yours. Okay, let's use batteries first for energy issues. Give it a thumbs up, and there will be a solution soon."

Fitz and the two thought that Joey was going to ask Tony Stark for help. After all, in the past month, Tony had often come to the bureau to learn domineering skills and had a close relationship with his own director. This was also the reason why Vulture dared to purchase the Ark reactor.

In fact, they thought wrong. The solution Joey mentioned was not the Ark reactor, but the energy technology of the Chitauri. Not only were each of the flying soldiers sent by them equipped with energy weapons, but the aircraft they flew were also equipped with energy weapons. I'm afraid it's not much worse than the Ark Reactor.

The most important thing is that their energy is already mass-produced and is far more popular than laboratory products like the Ark Reactor.

Therefore, Joey has been thinking about this energy source for a long time. Since there is a better choice, why would he have the shame to ask Tony Stark?

What's more, in Joey's opinion, no matter how good Tony's relationship with him is, given his status as a government official, he will not sell the Ark reactor to him. This is his principle.

"Okay, I don't see any problem. It can be put into production now. 100 sets will be built first. In addition, the selection of pilots can also start. The two projects are carried out at the same time. Don't delay. Time is tight."

As for why the time was tight, Joey didn't explain. Although everyone was curious, they didn't ask any more questions.

Especially for someone like Vulture, the more individual aircraft he produces, the more commission he can get, so he doesn't care about anything else.

After sending Fitz and Vulture away, Joey started taking online classes again, immersed in the pit of physics and unable to extricate himself.

On the other side, Doctor Octopus is also setting up a laboratory and has successfully copied the new Rhino armor material.

It's just that he also encountered the same problem that Norman Osborne encountered, that is, although the performance of the new material has been greatly improved, it is simply too heavy for the human body to bear.

If used reluctantly, it will only crush the experimenter into bloody mud.

In order to solve this problem, Doctor Octopus has thought of many ways, such as reducing weight, purifying materials, adding metal exoskeletons to experimental subjects, etc.

It's a pity that these methods have various problems. For example, the method of metal exoskeleton can indeed support the rhino armor, but this way, there is a new problem, that is, energy.

There's no point in having a metal exoskeleton if it can't solve the problem of power.

Even the high-energy batteries currently used by Doctor Octopus or the Ark reactor are not permanent energy sources.

If the Rhino Armor has a charging port, it will become a weakness. Once there is a weakness, the project itself will be meaningless.

After much deliberation, Dr. Lizard suggested that this problem might be solved by using a new lizard potion developed by himself.

In other words, the experimental subjects were first injected with lizard potion to greatly increase their strength, and then they could withstand the new rhinoceros armor.

Moreover, this new lizard potion does not have the ability to transform into a humanoid lizard. It only improves strength, speed, self-healing ability and other effects. Compared with the original lizard potion, the power improvement is weakened, but it erodes the mind. There are also fewer.

The most important thing is that the ability to regenerate severed limbs has been retained, although the regeneration speed is slower. For example, a severed limb requires a week to half a month to grow back, while the original lizard potion only takes a few hours.

But even so, as long as the severed limb can be regenerated, it doesn't matter if you wait a few more days. The most important thing is to keep your mind intact.

After careful consideration, Doctor Octopus felt that this was a way out, but he still hesitated.

"Connors, although your lizard potion can indeed create a brand new rhinoceros, in my opinion, it is still imperfect."
