Tony swiftly made temporary yet highly targeted modifications to his Iron Man suit, adding several sets of high-intensity ultraviolet lamps.
Unlike the crude UV lamps cobbled together from ordinary materials by Vampire Hunter Abraham Whistler in the film Blade, these lamps came from Stark Industries' finest production lines, the crystallization of technology and engineering artistry.
Whistler's UV lamps could threaten Vampires to a certain extent, but they often fell short against powerful enemies. Tony's UV lamps, however, were an entirely different matter.
Ultraviolet radiation, a type of Electromagnetic Waves commonly found in nature, was categorized by wavelength into long-wave ultraviolet (UVA), medium-wave ultraviolet (UVB), and short-wave ultraviolet (UVC).
Among them, the UVC band was renowned for its powerful sterilizing ability and was a star in the field of disinfection.
However, under natural conditions, earth's atmosphere prevented UVC from penetrating to the surface. This was both the gentleness of Natural Laws and the barrier protecting humanity from its harm.
Artificial UV lamps, especially high-intensity versions, could simulate and amplify this force of nature, becoming effective weapons against specific threats.
The intensity of Tony's UV lamps had reached an astonishing 100,000 microwatts per square centimeter (μW/cm²), a figure concealing a staggering energy density.
To understand that intensity more intuitively, it was worth comparing it to ultraviolet intensity in nature.
At noon beneath a cloudless sky, when sunlight shone directly upon the ground, ultraviolet intensity was high, but it was usually only several thousand microwatts per square centimeter—around 3,300 μW/cm², for instance. Such intensity was already enough for human skin to feel burning heat; prolonged exposure could even cause sunburn, accelerate skin aging, and increase the risk of skin cancer.
Tony's UV lamps, meanwhile, were dozens of times more powerful, nearly beyond the scope of ordinary human understanding.
