In the laboratory on the basement floor of the villa, Tony proudly showed the experimental pictures of Jericho Missile; just like a child who can't help but show off his new toy to his friends.
One missile can rival the carpet bombing effect of two to three sorties of strategic bombers. Ordinary people may be amazed by the huge lethality and strike range of missiles, but Xiang Qian, who is also an arms design and manufacturing giant, has seen much more.
"Negasonic Teenage Warhead adopted an irregular movement method at the end of the flight." Xiang Qian thought thoughtfully, "You improved the guidance device, and that is the most valuable thing about Jericho Missile."
Tony applauded. "Correct answer, top student."
Xiang Qian operates the rewind, and the screen returns to the moment when the missile body separates.
"Wow, the guidance program is installed on the Negasonic Teenage Warhead of the mother bomb? How much has the integration level been increased? Doubled?"
Every time Xiang Qian asked a question, Tony nodded excitedly, smiling with wrinkles all over his face.
As the saying goes, laymen watch the door, and experts watch the excitement. A hundred compliments from a layman are not worth one word from an insider. Right now, Tony·Stark is full of elation after being praised by professionals.
"This is an epoch-making product that can eliminate all tactical cruise missiles and strategic bombers." Tony boasts.
Xiang Qian rolled his eyes and poured cold water on his pocket. "I guess, the promotion of this missile to United States Armed Forces is not going well?"
Tony's face froze and he defended. "They haven't understood the value of Jericho Missile. A group of rigid-minded old antiques always act as a stumbling block to the progress of the times and find it difficult to accept new things...•°¤*(¯`★´¯)*¤° °¤*(¯´★`¯)*¤°•."
"Their brains are not stupid." Xiang Qian shook his finger at Tony, feeling a sense of psychological superiority that he could guide others;
"Think about it, who are the main targets of the U. S. military now? Anti-government armed forces, civilian guerrillas, terrorists, in short, they are fighting public security wars; the enemies they face in one battle are only dozens or even seven or eight people. Is it worth one shot of Jericho Missile?"
Tony sighed, walked to the bar in depression, poured himself a large glass of wine and drank it down. Stark Industries, as a giant in the arms industry, how could there be no market assessment? As soon as the military's promotion was frustrated, the group immediately conducted an analysis and came up with the answer.
It is very similar to what Xiang Qian said.
"My marketing director told me that before the military's inventory of tactical missiles is exhausted, their purchase quantity of Jericho Missile will be kept on a limited scale." Tony said sadly.
Xiang Qian laughed dumbly, "Is this the Christmas wish of the arms dealers? Where can the United States government go to fight a big war?"
"Don't talk about me like an executioner, my weapons are protecting the safety of United States." Tony defended himself and then asked, "What about your Mutant Serum? The market prospect of tens of billions of dollars was wiped out overnight?"
Xiang Qian said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter, that kind of thing is beyond the control of private enterprises. The ultimate answer to Mutants's problem is not a vast market, but a bunch of huge troubles. I would rather make money easily."
"Let us applaud James·Zion for their open-mindedness. As long as the source continues, although a stream of water may sometimes be blocked, it will not change the final result - as long as the outstanding mind is still there, there will never be a lack of money and glory. 👌💀 🐣👊"
Tony·Stark has the famous saying Philip II.
"Yes, and I want to entrust Tony·Mr. Stark to evaluate a new market prospect for me today." Xiang Qian took out a not completely transparent Cosmic Cube body from his pocket and stuffed it into Tony's hand.
Tony held it in his hand and weighed it, and found that the crystal-like Cosmic Cube body was only half the size of an ordinary golf ball, not much larger than the Las Vegas dice in the casino, but much heavier than the dice.
When you hold it in front of your eyes, you can still vaguely see the fiery red light flashing from time to time inside the Cosmic Cube body. Under the light, there seem to be straight scratches on the crystal wall as thin as an ox hair.
"What is this?" Tony asked curiously.
"Why don't you try it and find out for yourself?"
"Ah ha - restless little guy, you want to test your Tony brother?" Tony said confidently, "One minute at most, the answer will be completed, and you will pass with full marks."
"Maxim Magazine May cover girl, the loser takes the initiative to give in, do you want to bet?" Xiang Qian also poured himself a glass of wine.
"It's settled? That's it!"
Two shameless scumbags made a bet.
Tony walked to the holographic projection table and placed the Cosmic Cube body on it.
"Jarvis, full scan!" Tony raised a finger towards Xiang Qian, indicating "it only takes one minute."
Then... a full three minutes passed, and the laboratory was silent. Even the holographic image of the Cosmic Cube body could not be generated on the projection table.
"Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock..." Xiang Qian walked to the projection table with three steps, "Oh, how many did I count? 180, or 190? My sense of time has become dull..."
Xiang Qian almost laughed out loud as he spoke.
Tony looked left and right, and twisted his butt three times, but Jarvis still had no reaction.
"Jarvis, what's going on? Did your computer crash?"
Jarvis's boring electronic voice sounded, "Mr. Stark, this Cosmic Cube body is constantly absorbing rays, and the ray feedback information I got Infinity is approaching zero, resulting in a significant reduction in the efficiency of detection and scanning."
Tony asked tentatively, "So, this is a new invisible material?"
No need for Xiang Qian to answer, Jarvis helped outsiders slap the face. "Mr. Stark, Cosmic Cube There is a high-density energy reaction in the body, and it is initially inferred that it cannot be an invisible material."
Xiang Qian stretched out his hand in the direction of Jarvis's voice. "Look, Jarvis knows you got the answer wrong." Then he started tapping his wrist again - tick, tick, tick.
"OK! The May cover girl is yours. Come on, tell me the answer. Are you planning to play the Sphinx without makeup?"
Xiang Qian laughs like a winner.
"Jarvis, I suggest you change to acoustic detection. Although it will be slower and less accurate, the efficiency will be much higher than now." Xiang Qian first gave the order to Jarvis - he also has higher authority in Stark's laboratory.
Tony's eyes are full of curiosity. The most exciting thing for a genius scientist is to encounter unknown things that he does not understand.
"This Cosmic Cube body is an energy container." Xiang Qian explained, "You can think of it as a battery, but it does not store electrical energy, but thermal energy."
Tony found it incredible. "You mean thermal energy storage? No one has yet been able to miniaturize thermal energy storage equipment - what is its capacity?"
"About 46 billion joules."
Tony was shocked and couldn't help but feel moved. "You mean, just such a small thing can store the equivalent of heat generated by the complete combustion of one ton of gasoline?"
"It's not just storage." Xiang Qian smiled, "It can also actively absorb energy. The rays used by Jarvis for detection are also a type of radiation energy; when irradiated into the Cosmic Cube body, the ray energy will be absorbed, which is why Jarvis cannot complete the detection for a long time."
Listening to Xiang Qian's introduction, Tony couldn't help but take the Cosmic Cube body in his hand and look at it carefully. At this moment, he had completely entered the research state.
"Can this thing be expanded, I mean its capacity?"
Xiang Qian nodded. "Yes, the storage capacity will be affected by the volume and material. In theory, if the material is tough enough, its capacity can be close to Infinity; but unfortunately, conventional materials can only go so far. Five Elements Laboratory is further improving its performance standards."
"This is surprising enough!" Tony praised.
"How about, what is the market prospect of my new product?"
Tony was amazed. "Prospect? The energy market all over the world will be subverted by this little thing; bro, I think you are in trouble, and it is no less trouble than Mutant Serum."
Xiang Qian smiled and said nothing, he still had this understanding.
"Is this Heat Container an accessory product of Project Kuafu?" Tony asked.
"Yes, and no!" Xiang Qian said, "The technology of this little thing is a recent discovery, but it can indeed expand Project Kuafu's economic benefits to the greatest extent."
Tony said seriously, "It can not only increase economic returns, but once promoted on a large scale, this little thing is enough to shake the status of petrodollars; I think the United States government and Federal Reserve will definitely try their best to kill you."
