Chapter 3420 Midnight Son (19)
Stark brought a few people to his mecha warehouse. There are equipment that can be used today.
The latest series of mechas is named "Space Explorer", referred to as SE. The mecha currently used is the latest SE-26.
There is also a series that is the corresponding "Star Guardians", referred to as SG for short. It is currently developed to the 8th generation, and the latest one is SG-08.
The mechas of the Space Explorer series are engineering mechas, which are specially created to deal with various complex environments in the universe and meet the conditions for construction in this environment. They can use ordinary and magical energy and have functions such as survival, exploration, construction, and mining.
The Planet Guardian is a combat mecha, but it is also specially designed for combat in space. It has the most advanced energy absorption and conversion system for humans. In short, it can obtain energy in various cosmic environments and use it for combat. It also carries a variety of weapons. However, this mecha cannot use magic energy, and can only use ordinary energy.
Stark opened the door to the mecha compartment and introduced his new mecha to several people. He said: "These two types of mechas are commercial products that can be installed on a large scale. The largest customers are currently in China. There are also procurements in Australia and Europe."
Schiller looked at the mecha in the first mecha compartment. Because it was a commercial product, Schiller had seen the advertisement of this mecha on short video software before. The actual item looked even more magnificent than the advertisement.
These two machines look more like Gundam than the Iron Man suit. From the outside, they are completely huge steel robots and have nothing to do with human form.
"Is this a drone?" asked Myers.
"That's right." Stark nodded and said, "After all, not everyone has the ability to control the suit..."
"Thank you for the compliment, sir," said Jarvis.
Stark rolled his eyes quietly, ignored him, and continued: "The environment in space is complex and there are too many dangers. UAVs will be a better choice. After all, you can't expect every precious engineer to have a lot of time to do cosmic exercise training. It's better to let the robot do it directly."
"Of course, the robot uses a brain control system. The driver only needs to stay in a safe brain control cabin, and the mecha can imitate the driver's various movements, and the accuracy has been perfectly restored. Currently, customer feedback is pretty good."
"It's already put into use?" Miles asked again.
"Yes, this is the main force in the maintenance of Pluto and Neptune Star Port. The shipment volume is very large and it is the flagship product of Stark Technology's generation. I have two prototypes left here, so I'll take them to Jupiter today."
Miles walked to the mecha, looked up at the tall robot, and acted a little envious. Stark patted his shoulder and said, "Do it well, boy. When this matter is over, I will give you a big toy, which is guaranteed to be cooler than this. And you, Peter..."
"I don't want it," said Peter. "My two homes are already filled with Spider-Man, and there is really no place to put them."
"Isn't that just right? Let them see the achievements of Iron Man in this universe, too." Stark said proudly, "They will definitely think that I am the best Iron Man in the universe."
Peter shrugged and said, "They'll scream for three days and then have the entire apartment building residents complain to me. But... well, you're really the best Iron Man in the universe."
Stark took the mecha out of the warehouse. Schiller thought they would fly directly to outer space, but in fact it was not that simple at all.
Schiller hasn't left the earth in a non-portal way for a long time. He really wants to try flying once.
But obviously, with the beginning of the era of space exploration, all processes have been standardized. Now, if all flying units want to break through the atmosphere in a physical way and enter space, they need to submit an application, wait for approval, and then reach low-Earth orbit at a specified speed within the specified time and cannot fly randomly.
The range of the flight units includes machines such as rockets, planes, shuttles, and superheroes. Even Captain Marvel, who came back this time, flew to the near earth, waited for the dispatch of the space station tower, and then landed from the specified location to the surface.
Moreover, it is also very troublesome to enter low-Earth orbit through magic. You must enter the space station through the portal on the surface, and then leave the space station. You cannot open the portal within the near-Earth range at will.
Moreover, the review of people and items entering the space station is very strict, with size and energy level requirements. Machines with too large or too high energy level cannot enter. Engineering equipment must also be disassembled and brought in as parts before assembly.
Stark asked Jarvis to send an application to the space station, and said: "There is a bloody lesson behind every provision. The storm of the falling space station must not happen again."
Despite this, Stark, as the head of the solar system development plan, is still somewhat privileged. His application for flight was quickly approved, and the location and passage given were also the fastest recently.
Schiller actually didn't want to be so troublesome. Kong Su is the moon god, and he can actually teleport directly to the moon. But he suddenly thought that China seemed to have built many lunar rovers and broadcast live on the moon. He didn't want to appear suddenly, so he could only go with Stark.
Their liftoff was a military airport around New York. The three of them flew over with mechas.
Peter was still a little unskilled in flying, and Schiller and Stark could only wait for him to fly slowly. After arriving at the place, Schiller took the lead in landing, followed by Stark.
But the two of them waited on the ground for a long time, and Peter did not fall down. Stark raised his head and shouted to the top: "Spider-Man! Spider-Man, what's wrong with you? Get off now!"
"I don't know how to land!" Peter shouted, "Just just withdraw your strength?!"
"No!!" Stark shouted quickly, "Don't remove the power!"
"But I will keep floating..."
Stark covered his forehead and said, "Do you remember what you said to me? Magic is the result of your wish! Hurry up and forget the aerodynamic knowledge in your heart!!"
"I can't forget it! If I rush down, I need a buffer to deal with gravity..."
Schiller couldn't stand it anymore. He flew into the air again, rolled his cloak, and took Peter down.
Peter breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you."
Stark said as he walked towards the target location, "I just said I am the most professional magician on the team, right?"
The three of them arrived at the scheduled location. Stark first arranged several mechas, then turned to the two and said, "You can fly with me. It is strictly forbidden to turn during the flight. If you hit other aircraft, you will be done."
"Also, the flight speed must not exceed Mach 10, and it is best to keep it at around Mach 8. Do not use teleportation during flight, and short-distance transmission is not good. Do not accelerate or slow down suddenly. The specific principle is similar to driving."
Peter nodded, but he seemed a little nervous. Stark said: "Follow me closely, my suit controls speed very accurately. As long as it doesn't exceed me, you won't speed."
The mecha and the steel suit were charged at the same time. After the "buzz" sound, Iron Man took the lead in the air. The speed was not fast at the beginning, as if it was to wait for the two to catch up. After Schiller and Peter also flew up, he accelerated at a constant speed.
Peter seemed to be very novel about this rocket-style flight and kept looking around. Stark had to remind him in his headset: "Are you so unfocused when driving?"
"Uh, sorry. It just feels amazing. Although I have made Rockets, it's the first time I've been a Rockets."
Stark did not blame him, just said: "You will not feel anything when you fly a few more times in the future. Now China is strictly checking flight safety. If you fly off the wrong way, you may be shot down by them."
Peter quickly shrank his neck, turned his attention back to the flight, and tried to adjust his body posture to prevent deviating from the predetermined track.
Gradually accelerating to the extreme speed, the blessing of magic made the flyer feel no discomfort. Schiller didn't feel anything, but at the moment he broke through the atmosphere, he felt that his whole body was relaxed.
After breaking through the atmosphere, Stark slowed down and calibrated the space station based on Jarvis' location.
"Where are we going now?" Peter asked, "Are you flying directly to Jupiter?"
"The Earth is 500 million miles from Jupiter. When we fly, Roxon will succeed in any conspiracy." Stark said, "We have to borrow spaceships from the space station first. The frigate we got from the Kerry has now become a normal cruise ship. You can understand it as a bus in the solar system."
"We have to take the nearest bus to Io, where there are temporary outposts and scientific research stations. If we want to get close to Jupiter's main body, we also need to take a special small spacecraft."
"But we went to investigate secretly, and the last step can be omitted. If possible, we can build a small temporary base in Io Mae."
"Where is the mining base at the Rockson base built?" Peter asked.
"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Io." Stark speculated, "Ioo's geological activities are frequent, the heat level is high, and underground heat sources can provide enough energy support for various mining equipment. If it were me, I would choose here."
"But they use different technology than the Earth," Peter reminded, "they don't necessarily need Io's thermal energy. Maybe we should also check out Euro or Io."
Stark nodded, then turned to look at Schiller. Schiller said, "Just decide."
Schiller actually didn't know where the Rockson company's mining base was built. Because the comic only talked about mining Jupiter, but he didn't even give a specific storyboard, so he couldn't tell how Jupiter was mined.
According to the current situation, it should not be destructive mining, and the scale of mining should not be large. It is impossible to set up large-scale mining equipment on the main body of Jupiter, otherwise it would have been observed by humans long ago.
Then the only possibility is to build a mining base on the satellite, and then send mining ships to mine. After the mining is completed, it will be transported to the base for storage or transportation and export.
Mining ships are generally not big, and compared with Jupiter's huge size, it can be said to be a drop in the ocean. In addition, the mining point and flight orbit are not certain, so it would be difficult to detect if you didn't keep staring at Jupiter. This behavior is indeed a bit sneaky.
According to Schiller, China may want to build stable large-scale mining equipment on Jupiter, rather than mining ships.
The construction cycle of large-scale equipment will definitely be very long, even from the current technological level, it will take at least 3 to 5 years. During this period, engineers will frequently move around Jupiter, so the Roxen company's secret mining cannot be concealed.
In fact, logically speaking, the planets in the solar system are all common property of human beings, and it is not said that any planet must belong to anyone. If you have the ability, you can mine it. Anyway, the current level of technology cannot reach destructive mining and cannot affect others. Everyone is human, and whoever mines will end up rotting meat in the pot.
So Roxen has a complete choice. You, China develops yours, and I will pick mine. Don’t care what technology I use, it’s my ability to have alien technology. According to Schiller’s understanding, China is likely to not be able to find out the bottom line. Jupiter is so big, it’s not a big deal, and it doesn’t affect each other.
However, Roxen's company was the first to choose to take action, which seemed to be guilty no matter how you look at it. And it also took such radical measures to attack the local area directly.
Chapter completed!
