Chapter 1036: Free Choice and the Inevitability of the Plot
Demonstrating the new Jericho missile at a military base in the country of Lighthouse.
During the drive away, an attack occurred—a missile exploded nearby, and he lost consciousness.
Waking up in a cave, forced by terrorists to manufacture missiles for them.
Successfully creating the Mark 1 to escape, returning to Lighthouse for a press conference, announcing the closure of Stark Industries.
Inspired by the Mark 1, deciding to develop a new type of wearable armor.
...
Zhang Zhibin spent some time and finally fully immersed himself in the character setting of Tony Stark.
As the plot progressed, he observed the surrounding NPCs.
"I never thought I'd experience being a science fanatic in a virtual world. I have to say... this feeling is pretty great."
Zhang Zhibin looked at the Mark 1 projection in front of him. He only needed to gesture at this virtual projection to remove the redundant components one by one, then design a new blueprint with Jarvis's help.
Many ideas flooded his mind—like adding a jet component here, a controller there, or adopting some special shape.
By following these ideas, he could obtain an increasingly precise model. Or he could simply delegate most of the work to Jarvis, and the holographic projection model of the Mark 2 would generate automatically.
Then, Zhang Zhibin successfully crafted the leg components of the Mark 2.
After putting them on, Zhang Zhibin couldn't wait to try them out.
Jarvis prompted him to select a value for axial load support, suggesting a range between 1% and 10%.
"Let's go with 5%," Zhang Zhibin chose a middle value.
Three seconds later, Zhang Zhibin felt a powerful thrust beneath his feet. He couldn't control himself as he shot into the air, flipped over, and landed hard on his back.
"Pfft..."
The nearby firefighting robot sprayed a face full of dry powder at him.
What Zhang Zhibin didn't know was that he was actually quite lucky.
Tony Stark had chosen 10% axial load support and ended up plastered against the wall. Zhang Zhibin chose 5% and only landed on his back.
Continuing to build the hand armor.
This time, Zhang Zhibin put on both the hand and foot armor, starting with 1% axial load support.
The Mark 1 also had flight capabilities, but they were incomplete. Tony had barely managed to lift off in a parabolic arc before crashing in the desert.
Starting from the Mark 2, the Iron Man suit truly gained the ability to fly freely and control precisely. What Zhang Zhibin was now experiencing was this process of flight testing.
Zhang Zhibin felt a powerful thrust from his hands and feet, and his entire body slowly rose into the air.
