Detection equipment was connected beneath the reactor, and Howard quickly obtained the operating data for the new reactor.
"Sir, the reactor has accepted the upgraded core and is operating normally!"
"That's great!"
Dr. Ethan said excitedly.
"J.A.R.V.I.S., what are the reactor's output and total energy capacity?"
Chen Mo asked. He was very curious just how powerful this new energy source was—the one Howard claimed was many times stronger than a nuclear reactor. The movies had never shown any specific figures.
"Conducting scans. Beginning full-power operation test..."
As J.A.R.V.I.S. spoke, the Arc Reactor on the test bench quickly flared with brilliant light. After a moment, J.A.R.V.I.S.'s voice sounded again.
"Master, after replacing its energy core, the Fourth Generation Arc Reactor has a maximum output five times greater than before. Furthermore, its current energy consumption is negligible. Preliminary estimates indicate that the Fourth Generation reactor's total energy capacity is at least one hundred times that of the Third-generation Arc Reactor!"
All three of them were thrilled at the news. This not only meant the Iron Man suit could possess greater power and endurance, but also represented an even more powerful new energy source capable of changing the world!
The Third-generation Arc Reactor, which had originally used palladium plates as its energy core, had basically sufficient output and endurance to power the Iron Man suit in combat, enough to sustain a high-intensity battle.
But for fighter jets, tanks, or even the much larger Sky Carrier, the original Third-generation Arc Reactor was no longer enough. Solving the issues of power and endurance required a large number of reactors, but the cost would be far too high!
That was why the Sky Carrier of the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division used nuclear reactors.
However, even if they wanted to use Arc Reactors regardless
