At Sky Base, when Tony was remodeling the base, he directly took over Dreykov's former office and used it as his own laboratory.
He also removed the metal casing around the perimeter and used a lot of glass, reasoning that he could see the scenery outside from all sides, which would help him generate inspiration when he was inventing.
Qin Xiao didn't know to what extent this would inspire Tony; in any case, so far, the only invention that could be called new Banner's undamaged pants for his transformation.
Today, it's finally Qin Xiao's turn.
She put on the stockings made of an unknown material that Banner handed her.
There was also a pair of long gloves that were pulled up to the elbows.
Both socks and gloves have several wires attached.
Tony stood by the control panel, rapidly typing on the keyboard.
"Get ready. I'll count to three. Qin, unleash your full power of fire from the areas covered by your hands and feet, understand?"
"Good!"
Qin Xiao nodded obediently, imitating Tony's takeoff posture, with his feet together and his palms facing down.
"3!2!1!"
As Tony's countdown began, Qin Xiao controlled the flames within his body to erupt violently, covering his arms and calves.
I don't know what button Tony pressed.
The next moment, Qin Xiao's flames completely disappeared, absorbed by his gloves and socks.
All the energy was gathered and flowed towards the palms and soles of the feet.
Qin Xiao instantly felt a counterforce gradually increasing in his palms and the soles of his feet.
I felt a little lightheaded.
" Tony, I feel like I'm not getting enough power, I can't fly!"
Qin Xiao said, somewhat annoyed.
"That's because your flames are too scattered. To be precise, your Vulcan abilities are terrible, at least for now. But you're lucky to have met me, and of course, Banner. He's responsible for at least 21%, maybe 25%. Get ready, hold on tight!"
On the screen in front of Tony, data on Qin Xiao's jet of flame flashed by rapidly: temperature, reaction force generated by the jet, energy conversion rate of the thrusters, and so on.
"Okay! Now relax your whole body. I'll count to three. Hold this position, and believe me, you'll soon experience the feeling of flying!"
Qin Xiao nodded excitedly.
Then I saw Tony quickly type a few keys on the keyboard and press the Enter key heavily.
"Whoosh!"
A powerful force suddenly surged from his palms and the soles of his feet, and Qin Xiao instantly became a deflated balloon.
With a whoosh, it traced a graceful arc through the air, smashed through the laboratory door, and flew out.
" JARVIS, remember to remind me to leave the gate open next time; it's a hassle to repair!"
The socks and gloves Tony provided to Qin Xiao were made of an unknown material, but Tony said they were disposable and mainly for collecting data on the flames on Qin Xiao's body.
The goal is to maximize Qin Xiao's ability to generate the greatest driving force with the least amount of effort.
so...
The second time, the thruster suddenly burst into flames, instantly burning out, but Qin Xiao ended up plunging headfirst into the Fridge next to him.
The third time, Qin Xiao smashed his head against the toilet tank, narrowly avoiding washing his hair directly in the toilet.
Tony laughed so hard he almost fell over, and even the honest Banner had a hint of amusement on his face.
Seeing Qin Xiao turn his head to look at him, Banner quickly pretended to be busy with his work.
Qin Xiao suspected Tony was doing it on purpose, but he had no evidence, especially since he was about to acquire a flight suit of armor. Qin Xiao chose to give in.
Finally, Qin Xiao plunged headfirst into the ceiling of the laboratory, hanging by his neck, allowing Tony to take several photos.
Tony finally got JARVIS to create a finished product.
Qin Xiao's suit of armor doesn't have as many circuits and energy systems as Tony's.
Besides containing a large number of energy converters and several thrusters.
There was nothing else random or messy.
Therefore, Qin Xiao's armor is lighter and thinner than the existing Mark Series.
Given Qin Xiao's own powerful defenses and the characteristics of his combat suit, Tony almost completely abandoned any function of the armor other than energy conversion and flight.
The thin layer of Gold-Titanium Alloy doesn't have the bulky feel of Tony's armor at all.
It looks more like the armor used by Spider-Man in his later stages or Black Panther.
The black full-body armor, in Tony's usual extravagant style, was trimmed with gold lines at every corner.
On both shoulders of the armor are two small golden seal characters for "Qin," adding a touch of retro style to the armor.
Aside from the lack of a helmet, it features four retractable back wings, unlike the Mark Series.
Apart from his forearms and calves, if flames erupted from Qin Xiao's entire body, the four wings on his back would automatically pop out, and the flames on the rest of his body would power these four thrusters.
This greatly increases the mobility of this suit of armor.
Before creating this suit of armor, Tony was researching the Mark VII Armor's automatic tracking, recognition, and wearing capabilities.
However, given the complexity of the Tony armor's internal structure, it is still under research, which has benefited Qin Xiao.
With the two bracelets on, Qin Xiao only needs to take out his armor and open his arms, and the armor will automatically open and slip onto Qin Xiao body according to the positions of the two bracelets.
To achieve this functionality, Tony also placed an Arc Reactor on the suit of armor.
It serves as a backup power source for the armor and for identifying and tracking Qin Xiao.
The considerations were quite thorough.
However, Qin Xiao has storage space for things, so he probably doesn't use this function much. Usually, he only uses it to turn the armor on and off.
"The top speed is Mach 2. If it's switched to a reactor, the speed should reach Mach 4 under extreme conditions. Qin, this is the fastest suit of armor I've ever made."
Tony's voice came through the earpiece. Qin Xiao circled countless times in the sky before reluctantly landing back at the base.
"Your current flames are far from reaching the limits of your thrusters and energy conversion. As your flames upgrade, the armor's speed can be further increased."
Tony checked all the parameters and then spoke to Qin Xiao.
