Chapter 124 Indulgence (1)
Just when Hammer thought he had successfully persuaded Ivan to work for him.
Ivan had some other ideas, and he felt that he would probably succeed this time.
First, he thought of using the huge resources of Hammer Industries to avenge himself and his father.
This is something he never dared to think about before.
The materials for his first-generation whip armor were all obtained from the black market. The price was high and the quantity was small.
It's not that he doesn't want to protect his whole body like Stark.
However, due to cost constraints, what he could do before was already the limit.
Although he actually still has some money, after all, smuggling arms is huge profits, downright huge profits.
However, that little money was not enough for the father and son to live a happy enough life, nor was it enough for him to have access to the world's top raw materials and research equipment.
But today, he got this opportunity.
If Justin Hammer wants to overwhelm Stark at the Stark Industries Expo, he must come up with a product that people can recognize.
Ivan already had an immature idea.
However, he already planned to put it into practice directly.
Secondly, there is another very important thing, that is, he needs a parrot.
He needs his bird.
It could be the best one he raised in Russia. If not...although he would not be happy with it, it would not be impossible for him to play with it.
Playing with parrots and drinking vodka are his few hobbies besides work.
Tracking Stark's movements was not.
If it weren't for revenge, he wouldn't even want to see Stark's arrogant face.
Justin Hammer and Ivan Vanke had a drink with their own evil thoughts.
But unlike Hammer who just drank slowly from a wine glass, Ivan directly took a whole bottle of vodka to toast to Hammer.
Drinking from a cup is a little bourgeois behavior. Like us, we all just blow the whole bottle.
……
Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes shook his head and walked out of Stark's villa. He found that his old friend was a little confused for some reason.
Although Stark said that he knew what he was doing, his demeanor could not deceive Rhodes.
Rhodes knew his old friend too well. He is very tough-talking, narcissistic, and often stubborn.
It's hard to get him to admit that he's in trouble.
Moreover, if he saw it correctly, the color of the veins on Stark's body... seemed to be a symptom of some kind of heavy metal poisoning.
But this guy still insisted that death was a car accident, a car accident.
Rhodes didn't bother to expose Stark's background. He believed that when he couldn't bear it anymore, this guy would tell the truth honestly.
Rhodes was indeed right, Stark was just being tough.
He is very anxious now and doesn't know what to do.
He has spent the past few months in the laboratory. In addition to improving the steel suit, the most important thing he has done is to try to replace and test any materials that can be used as energy cores for the Ark reactor.
Stark has tested almost every element and its alloys.
There was still no substitute, which made him anxious, and he had to pretend that nothing happened in front of everyone, including Pepper.
Because palladium can absorb hydrogen and helium, it is currently the only carrier material that can carry hydrogen atoms for cold fusion, which makes all other metals or alloys unmatched.
Other metals are no better than palladium in adsorbing hydrogen.
In normal times, palladium in its elemental form is basically harmless to the human body.
Human body fluids cannot react with it, and it itself is not active. Palladium jewelry even has a high affinity with the human body and will not cause skin allergies.
However, what is happening in the Ark reactor is a continuous nuclear fusion reaction.
Although it is cold fusion, it is still fusion.
Under the very extreme background conditions of nuclear reactions, any chemical reaction is possible.
During this process, the palladium element will continuously react with human body fluids and turn into palladium ions into the blood.
The relative atomic mass of palladium is 160.42, which is undoubtedly a heavy metal.
Stark already had some obvious symptoms, and he could clearly feel the impact of excessive palladium ions in his blood on himself.
Although the chlorophyll drink can still play a certain role for the time being, the chlorophyll is constantly killing his normal protein. But he knew that as long as the palladium content continued to rise, he would have to see God immediately.
God cannot bless Iron Man, he is just an additional option.
……
In the workshop of Hammer Industries.
Ivan is deciphering Hammer Industries' random encryption code.
This kind of password will randomly generate a new one every once in a while, which can theoretically effectively prevent someone from accessing or operating the machining center and the products on it without permission.
However, it only took Ivan a few seconds to successfully break through Hammer Industries' seemingly flawless protective measures.
He also bluntly commented that this encryption software is garbage, no, not just garbage, it is simply a piece of shit.
Because his crack is based on the bug in the encryption software.
And it is also a vicious bug that allows him to directly obtain the password currently in use through a simple elimination method and only perform a small amount of calculation work.
And what Ivan wanted to complain about but held back in the end was that you, Hammer Industries, are really confident enough to dare to connect to the intranet like this.
All the machining centers and the onboard computers of the steel suits are connected to an intranet with an unadvanced architecture.
Yes, they are all connected together.
Moreover, the provider of the firewall and the provider of the encryption software are still the same company.
Even the bugs are similar.
Doesn't this give him an opportunity to gain full control?
Ivan also worked odd jobs for Kaspersky for a period of time in the last century, which gave him the opportunity to have many interactions with the master hackers who served Russia at Kaspersky Lab.
He benefited greatly.
Now, after breaking through the firewall of Hammer Industries, he could take the opportunity to control all steel suit products... No, he thought it was better to use drones.
The American soldiers in armor would definitely not help him kill Stark. Ivan decided to use a drone. He could control it remotely with the help of Hammer Industries' intranet.
He knew very well that in order to facilitate communication between pilots, these expensive suits were all networked internally.
This internal data network was originally supposed to be submitted to the U.S. military along with the completed suit.
The unit price of these suits copied by Hammer Industries is close to the US$22 million of the F1.44 Raptor fighter jet, up to US$1.2 million. They use a large amount of very expensive titanium alloy, second only to the aerospace-grade gold-titanium alloy used by Stark (no way, mass-produced products cannot be like the customized products that Stark designed only for himself, regardless of the The cost is crazy and the materials are piled up).
Now, the network is his.
However, on the surface, he still has to pretend to be stupid.
But there is one thing he and Justin Hammer have in common.
That's riding on Stark's neck and shitting.
However, the difference is that Justin Hammer just wants to beat Tony Stark in business, but he will not only defeat him technically, but also kill Stark.
It's that simple.
Thank you, Tony, I have taken your advice seriously.
Ivan decided to follow Stark's suggestions and make major improvements to the Ark reactor.
Stark dug a big hole for himself by pretending to be this academic bastard in prison in Monaco.
……
At this time, Stark had begun to feel tinnitus, dizziness, and slight nausea.
The palladium ions will soon break through the concentration that chlorophyll can suppress.
This is seven days, or less, if he doesn't use the steel suit at will.
There was a sense of twilight in Stark's eyes that was beyond his age.
Even looking at his beautiful personal assistant couldn't make him feel better.
He had a good talk with her, but he was going to die anyway, so he didn't bother to pretend.
What Stark didn't expect was that the suggestions put forward by Ms. Natalie Romansch were quite to his liking.
That is to do what you want to do.
Since becoming a superhero, Stark hasn't been able to do what he loves for a long time.
For example, have a rather unrestrained birthday party, just like his previous birthday parties.
……
Xia Yan also received an invitation from Stark, and Happy personally delivered the invitation letter to his office in the base.
"Mr. Happy, please do not enter the production area and experimental area." The security guard at the base patiently reminded Happy who almost walked into the experimental area in order to find a toilet.
"Ah...Sorry, I'm just looking for the bathroom." Happy scratched his head in embarrassment.
But Happy couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the security guards at this base are really strong.
Even in the US military, there are not many strong men of this level.
Because all these security guards are Red Army Marines who completely obey Xia Yan's orders. However, on Earth, they did not wear their CMC power armor.
After reading the invitation sent by Happy, Xia Yan was silent for a while.
He was thinking about how he could dig a hole for SHIELD through a series of events.
Got it!
During this time, when he was bored, he built a very portable miniature metal detector, which was much smaller than today's mobile phones.
This thing can be used in Stark's villa to find the pile of things Howard buried in it.
In this way, the plan of braised eggs to increase Stark's favorability can be ruined.
After all, it was him who saved Teacher Tony's life, not S.H.I.E.L.D.
Maybe this would allow Stark to provide less technology to the damn Snake Shield, so that when facing Hydra in the future, it wouldn't be too uncomfortable.
Because some of Stark Industries' technologies can already touch the starting point of the interstellar age, this is a height that is difficult for other individuals on Earth to reach.
If you can get him to support Hydra less, then support him less.
In addition, he also asked someone to prepare a few bottles of lithium dioxide... Well, these things are actually made fresh.
So in the original history, Fury did not promise more to Stark.
It cannot be stored permanently. For its aqueous solution to be effective, it must be freshly made, and the pH must be controlled in a strongly alkaline environment.
The complete chemical formula of this thing should be Li2O4, and lithium dioxide is just a habitual name.
It's like the relationship between the non-existent phosphorus pentoxide and the actually existing tetraphosphorus decaoxide.
