Chapter 104: Blue Shell

First of all, the technology that Fu Qinghai has in his mind now is the complete design of Iron Man Mark-1 to Mark-44, because the timeline when Fu Qinghai obtained the "Tony Stark's electronic soul backup" was in 2012 in the MCU. At that time, Tony Stark had not yet used models above Mark-42, but the corresponding design concept draft had already been produced, including the first-generation anti-Hulk armor Mark-44.

However, there was no later Mark-50 nano armor "Blood Edge Suit", no second-generation anti-Hulk armor Mark-48, and no Mark-85 super nano armor that was used in the final battle and added Uru metal to absorb magic damage.

And because it originates from Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there are naturally no Model series armors that surpass the Mark series in other universes: for example, Model-38 Anti-Phoenix Armor, Model-61 Anti-God Armor (also called God-killing Armor), and Model-68 Virtual Armor.

(PS: So those book friends who say that the upper limit of technology is low and have been saving up for the protagonist to learn magic, think carefully)

Let's first compare the generations of Space Marine power armor in the Warhammer 40K universe and Iron Man's Mark series armor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

First, there is a difference in cost positioning.

Although the Space Marines' power armor has a very high technological content and is not cheap, it is ultimately a mass-produced weapon and equipment. During the heyday of the Human Empire in 30K, there were two million Space Marines, and they were all equipped with power armor.

Iron Man's Mark series armor is a personal equipment tailor-made for one of the world's richest men. It is not a mass-produced equipment made for the US military or any other military, but a personal equipment.

The costs are incomparable.

Secondly, the battlefield positioning is different.

Why do space marines wear power armor? They go to fight, to fight a serious interstellar war, to advance under the hail of bullets and artillery missiles, and to withstand all kinds of unknown AOE damage on the battlefield.

What does Iron Man do when he wears the armor? To fight? No, he is to be the world's policeman, a superhero, to punish individual criminals and maintain world peace in an overall peaceful environment.

The Space Marines' power armor is used in a war environment, so it can sacrifice flexibility and speed to a certain extent, but it requires heavy armor and thick defense to ensure the soldiers' survival on the battlefield.

Iron Man does not need to face the battlefield environment of artillery and missiles. What he needs more is rapid global deployment. He needs to be able to reach the scene of the conflict crime within minutes and need to be quickly put on in an emergency.

Therefore, the battlefield positioning of Iron Man's armor is actually light, flexible and fast.

But compared to other superheroes in the American comic universe who just put on a one-piece tights and rush out to fight, Iron Man seems to have strong defense.

It's not that Tony Stark can't build a more defensive armor. The Hulkbuster armor is an example. It's just that under normal circumstances he doesn't need a more defensive armor.

The armor shell made of titanium alloy is enough to withstand the small-caliber weapons of most criminals on the earth. The remaining energy can be used to study how to fly faster.

As long as it flies fast enough, large-caliber weapons will not be able to catch up.

Fu Qinghai was lying on the chair with his arms and legs spread out, his elbow resting on the back of his other hand, and he was rapidly turning a ballpoint pen in his hand.

This was a subconscious action when he was thinking.

Now that Fu Qinghai wants to build his own armor, he naturally has to make certain trade-offs and choices between the two.

Fu Qinghai took into consideration that he had already dropped off the world anchor in the Warhammer 40K universe, and in the long run he would definitely spend most of his time in the Warhammer 40K universe, so he could not focus on speed and ignore defense like Iron Man did, and the defense of his armor must be strong enough.

There is a reason why Iron Man can fly so fast, even faster than a fighter jet. That's because the armor of his suit is light and thin enough. The Mark-38 Ego, which was Iron Man's first attempt at a power-oriented suit, completely cancelled the flight module, and the reactor's power was fully output on strength. It single-handedly held up the gantry crane that was about to collapse in the port battle in "Iron Man 3". The two subsequent generations of anti-Hulk suits could not fly either.

Should I fly? Fu Qinghai thought as he spun his pen.

To fly.

Of course I have to fly.

The answer is yes.

Fu Qinghai chose a compromise solution - the jumping bomber among the Space Marines.

The jumping pack pilot uses a special power backpack, the output power of which is far greater than that of an ordinary power backpack, and the size of the two nozzles is even larger. By using the jet pack, short-distance flight and jumping can be achieved. Its function is not intercontinental flight like Iron Man, but just crossing obstacles on the battlefield.

Many Space Marine legions like to make use of the jetpack unit. The Jagged Sun Chapter among the Word Bearers is full of pilots, the Sky Talons among the Space Wolves are flying units. For example, the Blood Angels and the Raven Guard have special jetpacks specially customized for them. The Blood Angels have a rectangular nozzle, and the Raven Guard have two steel wings.

Now, Fu Qinghai decided to use Stark Industries' propulsion technology to customize a special jetpack for himself. Although it is not as fast as Iron Man, it is faster than all the Space Marines! Because the essence of the White Scars is speed! And it is a jetpack with detachable equipment, which can be used at critical moments.

It's decided.

Next question, weapons.

Before the development of nano armor, Iron Man and War Machine's weapons and equipment, including palm mines, micro missiles, automatic machine guns, etc., were all integrated into the armor itself. To be integrated into the armor, they had to be miniaturized and miniaturized, and the aerodynamic shape had to be considered. In order to achieve this, a lot of power was naturally sacrificed.

If you only serve as a world policeman on Earth to punish evil and promote good, a weapon of this power would certainly be enough.

But to be honest, for Fu Qinghai who is going to fight in an interstellar war, he doesn't think much of this power. Not to mention in the Warhammer 40K universe, even on the surface of the earth, it is not considered a high-power weapon.

Therefore, Fu Qinghai decided that he would still hold the weapon in his hand and use it like the Space Marine power armor, instead of welding it directly to the armor.

The next question is Warframe AI, artificial intelligence.

According to Fu Qinghai's own analysis, at least 30% to 40% of the Iron Man armor's combat effectiveness comes from the AI ​​system installed on the armor.

Whether it is the early "Jarvis" or the later "Friday", Iron Man's armor AI is not only a combat assistance program, a life-support system, but also an all-weather and all-environment battlefield situation observation and analysis brain, which can integrate the complex battlefield environment and give Tony Stark tactical analysis and decision-making suggestions.

Of course, the Space Marines' helmets also have sighting and observation systems, fire control systems, friend-or-foe identification systems, driver assistance systems, etc., but overall, they are still far inferior to Iron Man's generations of AI.

After all, artificial intelligence is better than rigid programs.

Let me give you an example here.

Unlike other superheroes, such as Captain America, Winter Soldier, Black Widow, etc., these people learn fighting techniques, no matter what school, they just study hard and practice hard, and turn the fighting techniques into muscle memory.

The same was true for Fu Qinghai himself, who was learning the assassination fist fighting style from old man Hu Xian.

But Iron Man is different.

This guy has a very unique way of learning fighting techniques. He recorded the battles of other superheroes using war armor, and then took the videos back for human body modeling analysis. He analyzed various fighting styles and skills, and used algorithms to calculate the counterattack and response fighting strategies. Then, during the battle, he let the AI ​​control the war armor to automatically counterattack.

Without the armor, Tony Stark is just an ordinary person who has not received much combat training and military skills training. The reason why he can show extraordinary nerve reaction speed and continuous moves in close combat is actually the result of AI automatically controlling the armor according to the pre-set fighting program.

The transmission of mechanical electrical signals cannot be slower than the transmission of biological nerve signals.

This is a bit like Seth in the Street Fighter universe, who has a "black hole effect" device on his stomach that can absorb and learn the skills of all other fighters. Theoretically, as long as the Iron Man armor AI has enough fighting experience, he can defeat anyone in close combat, a victory based on skills.

Moreover, Tony Stark is a very scheming person. His position in the Avengers is the same as Batman in the Justice League. He is always on guard against his teammates. Iron Man's AI database not only stores the enemy's capabilities and corresponding countermeasures, but also the capabilities and corresponding countermeasures of each of his teammates, whether it is Thor, Captain America or Hulk.

Unlike the previous topics about flight and weapons, when it came to artificial intelligence, Fu Qinghai was really hesitant and entangled.

Fu Qinghai is well aware of how powerful Iron Man's armor is with AI, and he also possesses all the technology used by Iron Man to develop the "Jarvis" system. However, in the Warhammer 40K universe, all silicon-based chips and silicon-based life are considered abominable intelligence and violate the Crimson Accord.

Fu Qinghai stopped spinning the pen, frowned and thought.

The Inquisition and the Mechanicus coming to cause trouble were no big deal. Fu Qinghai thought of the Iron Hands and the Iron Warriors. It was said that these two legions were good at mechanical technology, and some of their dreadnoughts were empty when opened.

This kind of thing that was obviously playing with AI, when the Astartes Legionaries were powerful, the Inquisition and the Mechanicus didn't dare to say a word.

The point is, there is Tzeentch in Warhammer 40K, and there are Tzeentch's electronic demons.

This is a big deal.

Fu Qinghai recalled that on the Sothalan, he and his group were fooled by a pink terror monster of Tzeentch.

There are psychological shadows.

What if we use the artificial biological brain of the Thinker system as a substitute?

Fu Qinghai shook his head. The Thinker system is too large and cannot be miniaturized like a silicon-based chip.

Moreover, the Thinker system is only an alternative to silicon-based chips, not an alternative to silicon-based life.

In other words, can true artificial intelligence be born in the brain of an artificial organism?

Fu Qinghai didn't know, and neither did Tony Stark's electronic soul backup.

"Hmm..." Fu Qinghai sighed and rubbed his eyebrows.

Regarding the plan of carrying artificial intelligence in the armor, the final decision was to reserve space for the chip interface, but to put it on hold for the time being and not develop the artificial intelligence system.

After all, developing an artificial intelligence system is also a huge information project. The amount of code and difficulty are no less than building a Great Wall with a small shovel. Fu Qinghai cannot develop it in a short period of time.

Let's leave it like this for now.

…

After solving the above three major problems, flight, weapons and AI, the design of the remaining power armor becomes simple.

There are a lot of technical information in Fu Qinghai's mind. Some are from Iron Man, representing the top science and technology on the surface of the earth in MCU, and some are from Master Quinto, representing the top science and technology of the human empire in the Warhammer 40K universe.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

So much technical information may seem confusing, but it can actually be simply summarized into two points:

[Materials]

〖energy〗

Materials science and energy science are the foundation and prerequisite sciences of all engineering.

On a planet without iron, it is impossible to make a spacecraft that can leave the atmosphere using stones, wood and bones. This is the importance of materials science.

Not to mention energy science, if you are still using internal combustion engines powered by fossil energy, you should be embarrassed to say that you are a reincarnation.

Fu Qinghai felt that it was time to sort out the electronic soul backups in his mind. After careful consideration, he added a third item based on his 19 transformation surgeries and the Warhammer 40K alien taxonomy data:

[Biochemical]

Biochemical technology, together with materials science and energy science, are the three major categories of science and technology that Fu Qinghai currently masters.

[Material]:

Titanium alloy, which is the main material of Iron Man's Mark series armor. It is neither strong nor weak in the Marvel Universe, and it is mainly light enough.

Ceramic steel is the main protective material of Space Marine power armor. Its advantages are strong defense and wide defense range. It has good resistance to many weapons, kinetic weapons, laser weapons, and flamethrower weapons. It is also resistant to high temperatures and corrosion. It is an excellent alloy that can maintain its properties in extremely harsh environments such as deserts, acid mist, and salt seas.

The disadvantage is that it is heavy. Ceramic steel is not light at all and it is brittle. Objects with strong rigidity must also be brittle. Power armor is usually loaded with ceramic steel in the form of composite armor plates like tanks. If a layer is cracked and lost, it is directly replaced. It is a battlefield consumable.

Plastic steel is the alloy provided by Fu Qinghai to Hammer Industries. It is lighter than ceramic steel and has good overall performance. It can be regarded as a cheap and affordable version of titanium alloy in the interstellar era.

As for adamantium, adamantium, and vibranium, Fu Qinghai also wanted them, but he didn't have them.

(PS: In Warhammer 40K, Adamantium and Adamantium have the same English name, but in order to distinguish them from Marvel, they will be two different metals in my books from now on)

It has been decided that the main material of the power armor will still be ceramic-steel and plastic-steel composite armor. The thickness will be slightly adjusted and reduced, and titanium alloy will also be added to make a triple composite armor. Anyway, Hammer Industries is not short of money.

〖energy〗

The Ark Reactor is the most important and unrivaled energy source, the core technology of Stark Industries and even the Stark family. It is a cold nuclear fusion reactor with extremely high output power. The key is that it is small! It can also be miniaturized!

What Howard Stark failed to do, his son Tony Stark did. How small could the Ark reactor be in the later period? Iron Man installed seven on his armor at once, on the chest, back, palms and knees.

It also overcomes the problem of early Ark reactors' over-reliance on palladium, which led to excessive heavy metal levels and radioactive poisoning.

A subatomic nuclear fusion reactor and a backup solar charging system (including 100 solar cells), which is the standard energy core of Space Marine power armor.

The advantage is that it is stable and will not easily overload, overheat or explode due to problems such as high temperature, electric current, extrusion deformation, etc. The battery life is very long, measuring ten years. Its power is also very strong and surging. However, the output power of a subatomic nuclear fusion reactor of the same size is a little bit inferior to that of the Ark reactor.

After all, compared with Iron Man's slim and streamlined armor, the huge power backpack on the back of the Space Marine is not small. Of course, the power backpack is not only equipped with a subatomic nuclear fusion reactor, but also other life support systems.

In this regard, Fu Qinghai's decision was to thoroughly integrate the solutions!

By combining the advantages of both, we have developed an energy core that is smaller in size but has greater output power.

Ark - Subatomic nuclear fusion reactor.

…

After solving the problems of "materials" and "energy", what remains is the engineering design that combines the two.

Although the Iron Man armor has artificial intelligence and the power armor does not, the power armor also has many excellent designs that the Iron Man armor does not have.

For example, the electronic muscle fiber bundles on the inner layer of the armor.

The power armor worn by Space Marines is divided into two layers. The outer shell is the huge power armor, and the inner layer is a black, close-fitting metal fiber lining. This not-so-thin lining is the electronic muscle fiber bundle.

Except for the Mark-38 Ego and two generations of Hulkbuster armor, all Mark series armors have only simple directional vector drive cores, and do not have electronic muscle fiber bundles that can provide complex movement power enhancement devices. In this regard, the design of power armor is ahead of Iron Man armor.

In short, Iron Man can fly over and hit people, and his simple punches and kicks can also get a boost from the Ark reactor, but there is no power amplification in complex fighting moves.

Good design must of course continue.

"call--"

Fu Qinghai let out a long sigh.

The construction of a complete power armor plan, a literal brainstorming session, is finally completed.

Having completed the modeling process in his mind, Fu Qinghai did not start manufacturing right away.

Instead, I started thinking about a question first.

name.

The first product he made, a mechanical servo arm, was named "Qingshan 1.0 Mechanical Servo Arm".

Now Fu Qinghai feels that something is wrong. Just a servo arm is named "Qingshan". What will happen if more complex and powerful equipment is developed in the future?

However, the "Qingshan Type 1.0 Mechanical Servo Arm" happened to be destroyed on the Savage Planet in Warhammer 40K, and there will be no Type 2.0 in the future.

The new armor will not continue the code name "Mark" of Iron Man's armor and power armor. It is too uncreative.

Fu Qinghai decided to name it "Blue Shell 1.0 Power Armor"!

After thinking about it, since this was the first model and had not been tested on the battlefield, there might be some flaws, so Fu Qinghai added "beta", which means test version.

So, the final name is:

Blue Shell 1.0 beta. powered armor.

......

　Thanks to Fenel, the proletarian Astartes monk, the giant sword soldier, DK Qin Ge, Yu Jing, the eldest brother and master were captured by monsters, the invasion is like fire and the movement is like thunder, and several book friends for their rewards.

　　The third one is about to break out!

　　The drama actor who pretended to be the Mandarin and was imprisoned in the same prison with Justin Hammer is the story in the Marvel short film "Long Live the King". I guess many book lovers have not seen this unpopular short film, which is meant to lead to the story of "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" later, but the filming of Shang-Chi is so fucking bad.
