Chapter 11
It had to be said that Tony was a genius. What he lacked was just an opportunity, such as an idea.
It was similar to how he developed a new element to replace palladium through an opportunity.
Although it was indeed discovered by his father, Howard could not develop it in that era. In the end, it was Tony who successfully developed it.
Therefore, when Lu Yuan proposed the concept of Iron Man armor, he immediately took action. In just one night, with the help of Jarvis, he drew a more refined and complete drawing.
This was the real blueprint. It was completely different from Lu Yuan’s primary school drawing.
Even Lu Yuan was stunned. The first time he saw the blueprint was on the three-dimensional plane displayed by Jarvis. It was as if he saw Iron Man’s first-generation armor.
That’s right. It was the first generation Mark armor. Tony created its blueprint from the crude drawing that Lu Yuan gave him. It was bound to be thick and heavy.
The blueprint was divided into several parts. The chest armor had a special device for placing the Ark Reactor, as well as a flamethrower under the feet which could be used to fly.
It was exactly the same as the first generation Mark Armor in the movie.
Lu Yuan nodded with satisfaction and made a request: “Make a copy of this blueprint for me.”
Tony was pleasantly surprised. He was about to start developing it, but when he heard this, he felt suspicious. “What do you want the blueprint for?”
“Of course it’s for someone else,” Lu Yuan said something that surprised Tony.
Let’s not talk about anything else. Is it good for you to be so blunt about being a double agent?
For a moment, Tony did not know what to say.
Lu Yuan suddenly smiled and said, “Don’t tell me you still don’t know whose weapons were used to attack you?”
Tony was stunned, and his expression became cold for a moment.
At that time, he felt that something was wrong because he was in charge of the weapons department, which was the primary department of Stark Industries.
That was why he felt that these might be his own weapons.
But he didn’t think much about it. He thought that terrorists should have bought these weapons from the black market.
But now that Lu Yuan mentioned it, what did he mean?
“If I say that someone intentionally sold these weapons to the enemy and the previous trap and attack was a conspiracy, would you believe me?” Lu Yuan asked.
“Who is it?” Tony asked with a cold expression. He just wanted to know who sold his weapons and betrayed him.
Lu Yuan was very annoyed, but he didn’t say a word, changed the topic, and said, “Sooner or later, I will let you know. But now you have to give me a copy of this blueprint. Also, this model of armor is trash. Do you think I’m going to give you such a heavy big guy? I’m just giving you an idea. How you develop it depends on your thoughts, and you should design it according to your style.”
Since Lu Yuan knew that the first generation Mark armor was bound to be eliminated, then he did not need to waste time.
He directly pointed at the blueprints of first-generation Mark armor and said, “First, it’s armor. Isn’t it stupid to use a flamethrower? Just how much fuel do you think a single person can carry? And aren’t you ready to use the Arc Reactor as a source of energy? Change it. In addition, thrusters can be added to the hands, which will not only increase flight speed, it will also help in changing direction more flexibly. Besides, the armor might not need weapons.”
“Also…”
Lu Yuan gave more advanced concepts and a general description of what he had seen about more advanced Mark armor.
If anything, it was indeed very enlightening.
Tony also revealed a thoughtful expression.
The armor did need improvements, and he knew that this was only the initial design, according to the concept mentioned by Lu Yuan. It was not something he wanted to make.
The two hands could be used to increase the flying speed of the armor. Having thrusters on both hands and feet would not only make the straight-line flight faster, but two hands would also make sudden turns and direction changing easier, etc…
And since the armor could be made very heavy, its explosive impact would be no less than a small cannon, which would make it very reliable as a weapon.
There was a lot of information and Lu Yuan’s opinions were not uniformed, but rather valuable.
This made Tony even more confused. “What are you trying to do?”
He wanted to help himself, and Tony could feel it. So why would he give the blueprints to someone else?
Lu Yuan sighed. “I’m helping you identify your enemy. As long as he accepts this blueprint and takes action, then he’s the one who wants to kill you. Someone who wanted to kill you designed that trap and attack, Tony. We need to let him surface in order to counterattack and kill him.”
“Although I haven’t been here for long, I’m not stupid. Not only did those people know all of your routes, but they also prepared fatal traps in advance and even used your own weapons to kill you. There must be a mole.”
Lu Yuan wasn’t accusing people because he had the advantage of knowing the plot in advance.
“So who exactly are you going to give it to? Who do you want to give the blueprint to?” Tony continued asking.
However, Lu Yuan didn’t answer him. “I can’t tell you directly. I’m afraid that if I told you, you’ll investigate. That way, you’ll only expose yourself. But don’t worry, I’m definitely on your side.”
That’s true, Tony thought to himself. Otherwise, you could just pinch me to death right now.
Tony was sincere when he asked Lu Yuan to stay because he was worried that some enemy would hire him to hurt him. If that happened, Tony would not even have the confidence to resist.
So when he heard Lu Yuan assure him, Tony let out a sigh of relief.
But he was still dissatisfied. “Wouldn’t this make my enemies stronger?”
With an indifferent face, Lu Yuan said, “I am your bodyguard. What are you afraid of when I am protecting you? Besides, I also gave you suggestions to improve your armor even further. If you still can’t beat this, then isn’t that your problem?”
Tony became angry. Is it still my fault? I have to thank you.
Lu Yuan continued talking. “Tony, I’m helping you uncover the enemy. The sooner it is done, the better. If you continue to delay, and in case he mastered these core technologies of yours, it will be too late.”
Tony also knew this, but he was more worried about something else.
Tony stared deeply into Lu Yuan’s eyes. Lu Yuan was much taller than him, so he had to look up.
“Tell me, are you my enemy?” That’s right. Tony was only worried about one person, and that was Lu Yuan.
Upon hearing this question, Lu Yuan laughed. “You are an idiot. If I am your enemy, why should I give you the drawing? Wouldn’t it be better for me to give the drawing to someone else directly? Do you think I can’t make the blueprint?”
“Then you draw one?”
“Hurting each other, right? Believe it or not, I’ll go after Little Pepper?''
