Chapter 480 Technology Accumulation and Exhibition Opening
Stark Industries Building.
"Okay, that's about it for today." Tony cut off the power and program of the simulation training cabin while speaking. And Li Jie staggered out of the training cabin.
Today, the number of fleets he controls and trains has been upgraded again, and it is no longer at the commando level composed of Vikings and Banshees. Instead, the Yamato-class battlecruiser was added to it.
With twelve Yamatos as the backbone, nearly 500 different ships are formed to form a large fleet in the true sense.
He trained here for nearly eight hours. Using the immersive training cabin to train for such a long time is actually quite a burden for ordinary people.
Because of the magnification of the number of fleets and enemies, this has also caused a rapid expansion of the total amount of information, and its degree of squeeze on brain wave thinking is also getting higher and higher.
Because you need to make various correct responses in a short time. Although there is the assistance of artificial intelligence Jarvis, this is still not a small burden.
It seems that Li Jie simply entered the training cabin and trained himself on the control of the fleet and the method of interstellar warfare like playing a game.
But it's not as enjoyable as playing games. Because most of the time, Li Jie couldn't actually see the opponent's fleet with the naked eye. Basically, they rely on the various data reflected on the ship to give instructions.
For Li Jie, the kind of cool explosion pictures or other things that he fantasized about never happened at all. He could only simply hear Jarvis broadcasting to him "concentrate on the target, miss the target." Hit the target, sink the target." and so on, and then rely on the brain to make up the picture to imagine the appearance of the opponent's warship exploding.
Because fighting in the interstellar space, it is commonplace to strike beyond the visual range of hundreds of kilometers. The range of missiles and Yamato's main guns is as high as thousands of kilometers.
In interstellar combat, there will basically not be the spectacular scene of the main guns bombarding each other after sticking to the face in fantasy.
But if Tony can produce MS weapons similar to Gundam, it should make the space war spectacular.
Li Jie shared his thoughts with Tony. But what I got was Tony's white eyes: "A giant robot with a size of 20 meters, do you know how big his reflective surface is?"
"Maybe the aliens can detect the reflected signal from tens of thousands of kilometers away. This is almost the same as the reflective surface of the Yamato class. But the firepower of a weapon that can be carried by a 20-meter robot cannot be compared Yamato."
"The flight speed may not be as fast as the Viking and the Banshee. It's just such a thing, it doesn't fly fast, it doesn't have strong firepower, and its armor isn't thick. What's its use?" Tony said, rolling his eyes.
"Although I like the steel armor, I never thought of making the iron armor giant and using it as a mass-produced weapon, and sending it to the frontal battlefield to fight."
"Unless it is some specific battlefields, human weapons have advantages, and there is no need to hide their whereabouts, etc. Such human giant weapons are valuable."
Tony threw a bottle of mineral water to Li Jie: "So don't think about your childhood dreams. Designing a Gundam MS/MA is completely meaningless. It's not as valuable as designing the weapons in Space Fortress (Macros)."
Li Jie took a sip of water. He noticed that Tony's tone of voice was a bit unusual when he mentioned Battlestar: "So you want to design a Battlestar?"
"What? No." Tony denied it at first, but then changed his mind after thinking about it: "Well, it's okay to tell you. It's a request from Congress and the military. They can't get steel armor from me. I don't I didn’t want to hand it over. So the two sides made a compromise.”
"So you helped the military design a space fortress? The kind that can really fly into space?!" Li Jie was a little surprised.
"You think too much. Unless it is produced directly in space, how can the shape of the Battlestar break through the atmosphere. I have no intention of handing over the manufacturing method of the jump engine and the micro-curved engine (from the blueprint exchanged by Li Jie). "Tony waved his hand.
"It's just a modified version of the S.H.I.E.L.D. aircraft carrier. It uses anti-gravity engines to fly, just like the one I designed on the car, but it's more complicated. Let this big guy have the ability to hover on the earth. Then Plus some shape-shifting abilities."
"So, it's really a Battlestar in the atmosphere?" Li Jie was still a little surprised: "I thought you wouldn't be helping the military design various weapons anymore."
"Yes, it's not considered a weapon." Tony said bluntly: "It's just an accumulation of technology."
"What?"
"As I said, the accumulation of technology. I'm not sure if this thing has combat effectiveness. It's hard to say whether it can even be formed. Because the deformation structure is very complicated. I just found some inspiration in the drawings you gave me. And these Inspiration needs a place where the real thing unfolds."
Li Jie suddenly understood what Tony meant: "Borrowing a chicken to lay an egg?"
"Huh?" Tony didn't understand.
"I mean, you use Congress and the military's money to complete your experiments, and you don't guarantee the results of the experiments. But they don't know?" Li Jie explained briefly.
"Don't say it so harshly. After all, the birth of any new thing requires experimentation and technology accumulation. It is common to fail once or twice. The military should have gotten used to it. After all, Weapon X has invested at least ten years over the years. Hundreds of millions of dollars, isn't it still not seeing any results." Tony was still very serious when he became shameless.
"Okay, my great scientist, I should go. The next time I will let the professor and I practice together. There is no professional weapon officer, and it is too tiring to rely on me alone."
Li Jie drank up all the mineral water: "Your Stark Industry Expo should be opening tonight. Don't you need to prepare? Such as speeches and opening speeches."
"Ready? No, you don't need to. I'm a born speaker and star, and my mind is super active when I'm in the spotlight." Tony is a shit.
"Well, don't forget what we discussed before." Tony nodded, and Li Jie waved his hand and left here.
He was going to accompany Harry to the opening ceremony of the Stark Industries Fair in the evening.
That night, the traffic in New York and Atlantic City began to head towards the Stark Industrial Park, and the flashing lights formed a river of lights on the highway, colorful.
More than 700 media around the world reported the grand occasion of the expo. In the main venue, a huge circular stage is designed in the center of the entire industrial park.
Flashing lights, hot dance music, and a hot and sexy blonde dancing to the music. When the time pointed to seven o'clock in the evening, a red light in the sky approached from a distance and went straight to the center of the stage.
All the media focused on the sky, because everyone knew that the protagonist of the opening of the exhibition was coming. Here comes Tony Stark in the Iron Suit in such high-profile fashion!
When he flew to the middle of the stage, four robotic arms helped him peel off the steel armor one by one, revealing Tony in a fitted suit and shirt.
He walked to the middle of the stage with a smile on his face and the music stopped. It is time for him to deliver the opening address, as is tradition.
It's just that this year's expo is destined to be unsettled. Tony didn't praise himself, his company, and the progress of industrialization as usual.
Because of the previous discussion with Li Jie, the two of them had more other ideas. The stage for the announcement of this idea was chosen at this industrial fair.
Li Jie sat in front of the stage with Harry and Peter, three good friends. From here he could see the smile on Tony's face.
"Everyone, welcome to the Stark Industry Expo. I'm not boasting. What you can see here is the future of mankind." Tony said these words so naturally, as if he was talking about the laws of physics.
And none of the audience and media in the audience wanted to refute him.
"Of course, this year is different. In addition to technological progress, I am still thinking about human spiritual progress, some things about human beings and society, and human beings and the universe." Tony walked to the stage with the microphone in his hand, watching audience and media.
He said to everyone in a serious tone: "Everyone, maybe we should think about the future development of mankind. Here I would like to extend an invitation to wise men all over the world. In addition to technology, human progress cannot be separated from technology. Thinking and philosophy. And I will set up a special foundation: the Horizon Fund, to invest in human philosophy and thought!"
