I Became Spider-Man's Cousin in Anime Crossover

Chapter 248 Finalizing the Battle Suit Design

With the addition of Peter and others, the development efficiency of the new generation of Iron Man suits entered a state of full-speed operation from the very beginning.

They not only cooperated with each other, but also eliminated many defects based on the Mark 1 Iron Man suit.

Because Riley had given him instructions beforehand, Peter didn't forget to offer Tony many suggestions.

For example, in low-temperature environments, the Iron Man suit is prone to freezing and malfunctioning. And like when Tony escaped the terrorist hideout, there should be an emergency landing plan in case of loss of power and a fall from a great height… and so on.

This made Tony look at Peter with new respect, and he immediately set about addressing these potential flaws one by one.

The more expensive gold-titanium alloy, which is lightweight and has low-temperature resistance, replaced the silver-titanium alloy that Tony originally planned to use, thus solving the problem of the Iron Man suit freezing.

Learning from the lessons of operations in the Middle East, the Iron Man suit was equipped with a parachute pack and an internal temperature control system.

Furthermore, Peter's mention of the existence of Asgardians, frost giants, and other extraterrestrial intelligent life forms led to the realization that Earth was not the only planet in the vast universe to harbor intelligent life, and that it was highly likely to face invasion by alien forces in the future. Consequently, a life support system similar to a spacesuit was incorporated into the design blueprints of the Iron Man suit.

In this way, as long as all the functions on the design blueprint can be successfully implemented.

So, Tony's new generation of Iron Man suits, although still given the designation Mark 2 in the same order.

However, its overall practicality far surpasses that of the Mark II and Mark III, second only to the Mark 7 Iron Man suit, which was used as the main combat suit during the Battle of New York!

The reason why its performance is even inferior to the Mark 7 is still due to the limitations of the Arc Reactor version that Tony is currently using.

Once replaced with an arc reactor made from the new elements, the problem of insufficient power supply will be completely solved...

Therefore, the upgraded Mark 3 Iron Man suit based on the Mark 2 is expected to surpass the performance of the original Mark 7 Iron Man suit!

Of course, during the development of the Iron Man suit, after witnessing Peter put on the nanotech suit in person and demonstrating the portability of nanotechnology, Tony once wanted to incorporate nanotechnology during the construction of the Mark 2 to solve the Iron Man suit's shortcomings of being too bulky and inconvenient to carry.

However, after Jarvis conducted a series of simulation tests, Tony, just like Riley who initially created the nanotech suit by hand, immediately realized the drawbacks of the nanotech suit...

Admittedly, the nanosuit is indeed convenient to use. Once activated, it only takes a few breaths to form a complete suit.

However, the nanosuit's defensive capabilities are limited to stopping small-caliber bullets.

Once replaced with large-caliber weapons, or even armor-piercing rounds, the nanosuit's defensive capabilities are practically as flimsy as paper!

This is precisely why, to this day, Wakanda remains isolated and refuses to share vibranium with the outside world. As a result, nanotechnology lacks vibranium, a core element essential for enhancing material strength…

How can we maintain the same weight while showcasing the portability of nanotechnology, and also create a suit with excellent defensive capabilities?

That's obviously impossible.

Even though Tony and the others gathered here are among the most intelligent people in the world today, they are still like a skilled cook without rice, unable to change the dilemma of not being able to have both fish and bear's paw.

As for the Parker brothers, who, after the multiverse crisis, reaped the benefits from a parallel universe and brought back a state-of-the-art Arc Reactor, why did they still choose nanosuits instead of ever considering using their own labor to create Iron Man suits...?

After all, both of them are agile Spider-Men with spider-sense for early warning. Under normal circumstances, almost no one can hit them.

It's like in Mexico, where Hulk could have easily injured Uncle Jackie Chan, but he just couldn't hit the agile, superhuman Uncle Jackie Chan.

Even if you have the ability to kill with one blow, if you can't hit an opponent with a 100% evasion cheat, then it's all for nothing!

In this way, the Parker brothers can make up for the weak defense of the nanosuits with their own skills.

In fact, you could say that if it weren't for the need to conceal their identities, the two of them wouldn't even need to wear nanosuits; they could just roll up their sleeves and start fighting!

That's the charm of numerical monsters!

However, as an ordinary person who relies on the suit for protection, Tony obviously cannot be as willful as the other two. He can only reluctantly give up the cool transformation effect of nanotechnology and focus his research and development on strengthening the defensive performance of the suit.

Since the choice has been made to strengthen defense, nanotechnology is clearly inferior to traditional alloys in terms of both cost-effectiveness and the upper limit of defensive power.

After going back and forth, and trying out several design schemes using the data simulation model provided by Jarvis, Tony finalized the main materials and functional design, then shared the blueprint with everyone, and they began to work together with clear division of labor.

However, even with a clear design blueprint, the development process of the Iron Man suit still produced quite a few laughable incidents.

For example, Tony, who had just finished creating the prototype of his arm and leg suit, insisted on personally experiencing the performance of the propulsion system, despite the well-intentioned advice of Otto and others.

Then, even though Tony thought he was being conservative enough, before starting the test, he asked Jarvis, who was assisting in controlling the suit, to limit the thruster power to 10%.

However, as it turned out, Tony had far underestimated the power of this propulsion system. The moment it activated, Tony felt like he'd stepped on a pressure plate, launching himself backward uncontrollably!

If Peter hadn't reacted quickly and used the Chicken Charm that Riley, who knew the plot and had anticipated this, had left for him as a precaution, he could have instantly used his telekinesis to deflect most of the impact on Tony.

Tony, who likely crashed headfirst into the wall, would suffer a concussion, even if his head didn't explode like a watermelon. This would force the development of the suit, which had only just begun, to be postponed once again.

This made Riley, who was sitting in his classroom at Midtown High School, diligently studying and striving to be a good student who dared not skip class again, burst out laughing when he took out his phone on his way home from school to watch the video Peter had secretly sent him.

I couldn't help but start thinking about it...

In the original Tony Stark comics, the reason why it still took two months to develop the new suit, even with all the tools and materials readily available...

It's absolutely because Tony, without anyone else to help him, was hit solidly and was unable to get up on the spot!

This led to two seemingly serious months of working day and night to develop a new battle suit...

In reality, most of the time was spent on Tony resting in bed and recovering from his injury!

Even if there is no crisis, you have to create one for yourself!

As expected of you, Tony!
