Chapter 14, "Iron Man 3" begins
Speaking of which, Wang Qiu and the team behind him have been growing stronger as they traveled through different worlds again and again, and now they even have the backing of the world's number one country.But even so, he did not develop that kind of "son of the plane" arrogant arrogance, on the contrary, even the original aggressiveness of the young man who dared to fight was also worn down a lot-this may be the reason The so-called "the older the world, the less courageous"?
In Wang Qiu's view, when entering a strange plane, it is best not to try to change too many things. Even if you have to do something, you must follow the rules of the game in society and try to do your best under these rules , the most perfect, so as to obtain the greatest convenience,
And what are the laws of the Marvel world?Naturally, there are endless superheroes and supervillains, all kinds of radiation, genetics, mutations and superpowers.This is the main theme of the whole world, even if it is a million soldiers and a supreme emperor, it is no match for the hateful blow of a superhero!
Ridiculous as it may seem, in the Marvel universe, individual heroism is king, and intrigue and bullying are bullshit.This is an unchangeable reality, even if you master the world's nuclear weapons and superheroes with god-level plug-ins, they can knock you down with one move.
So what if you are the president?What about the emperor?Even if it is the king of gods, don't superheroes and super villains kill as much as they want?
In the face of super strong individual power, laws and power are like floating clouds, and those in power can't even protect their own lives.
Therefore, in my heart, I am actually quite timid, or in the view of Wang Qiu, who is cautious and cautious, even if he also has god-level cheats such as Doraemon props, if he can keep a low profile, it is best not to jump too much, so as not to become a The target of public criticism - in the previous battle in New York, he was actually just taking advantage of the situation to gain some benefits, and in such chaos, no one could detect who was behind the collapse of the building.As for the nuclear explosion in New York, he actually didn't participate at all. It was all caused by the World Security Council, S.H.I.E.L.D., and the evil Hydra organization that infiltrated it.And the rising mushroom cloud in Manhattan still invisiblely wiped out all the evidence of his theft of the Ark reactor.
However, it is not common to encounter such a wonderful opportunity to take advantage of the chaos and have someone to help wipe the ass afterwards.
Indeed, in the Marvel world, there are countless kinds of wonderful high-tech.For example, the Ark reactor that can easily solve the energy crisis of mankind, the super soldier serum that instantly changed Captain America from a tuberculosis ghost to a muscular man, laser weapons that were practically used by the German army during World War II, as for all kinds of immortality and longevity, There are not too many people who are eternally youthful... But at the same time, it is not easy to get these cutting-edge technologies.In the United States in the Marvel world, the scientific and technological information that can be collected from public publications is basically the same as the real world, and even lags behind.All kinds of high and new technologies are monopolized by the military, S.H.I.E.L.D., giant consortiums, superheroes or super villains.They would rather keep these technologies as absolutely secret as the Coca-Cola formula, and do not apply for patents or publish papers, but do not let others know at all.The same is true of Stark Corporation, Osborne, and some other giants.Obviously there are high-tech technologies that can benefit mankind, but they are refrigerated and refuse to be popularized.In most cases, not to mention the technical information, even the finished products are not sold, and they are only willing to hide them in their own homes.
Like Iron Man Tony.Stark's Ark reactor was originally his father Howard.Stark invented it, and it has been in the company for more than 20 years. Tony just realized its miniaturization or miniaturization.But the problem is that in the past 20 years or so, Tony has neither thought about disclosing the technology, nor intends to sell the finished product of the Ark reactor at all. He just hides it in the company and does not let anyone touch it.Then it was because the production technology of the Ark reactor had been leaked through the descendants of another inventor, and it could not be hidden.After the Stark company shut down its munitions production line, it urgently needed to obtain the next point of profit growth, so it reluctantly began to sell the Ark reactor.
It is conceivable that if Tony did not become Iron Man, but died in the Middle East, then the Ark reactor would become a lost legend, right?
As for other secret organizations and giant companies, they basically have the same attitude towards their high-tech products. They are all hidden secrets and not for sale, and they are only allowed to be used by themselves and a few people under them.The result is that the high-tech developed by the Hydra organization during World War II, such as energy guns, is still unknown in the 21st century. It is really a hundred times more exaggerated than the various technological blockades in the real world—for example For example, the United States in the early 21st century, no matter how displeased China is, will it prevent China from obtaining the technical information of the German V-2 missile during World War II, or the blueprint of the first electronic tube computer in mankind?This is already the scope of archaeology, okay?
But in the Marvel world, the technical barriers are much more serious, and it is easy to lose.The result is that high-tech is completely out of touch with everyday society. Common people treat superheroes as they would treat aliens. It seems that researchers of later generations are looking for "lost technology" from ruins decades or hundreds of years ago. It's not like being in a scientific society, but more like an adventurer digging the tomb of an ancient great magician in a fantasy world...
In short, in the Marvel world, it is impossible to collect any technical information through public channels.The attitude of the scientists here towards the research results is not like a modern scholar at all, but more like a medieval alchemist who cherishes his broom. Unless it is absolutely necessary, he is not willing to share it with each other.
Of course, as a traveler who does not take the usual path, Wang Qiu can use the cheating tool [Super Time Stop Watch] to sneak into the research institutes of major consortiums and search for various secret materials—even if he doesn’t know the details of those secret research institutes. You can also collect information slowly.Try again and again.But the problem is, although the time in New York was used very smoothly, who can guarantee that the trick of "stopping time" will always work?
What's more, even if the cheating cheat of "time stop" works well all the time, it will inevitably leave traces and be discovered by others!
After all, in the Marvel world, there are too many great powers who are proficient in the laws of time and space, and there are not no guys who are good at predicting magic.
For example, in the previous alien invasion, there was Loki, the evil god who was proficient in mind control and space magic; in the remote Himalayas, there was "Doctor Strange" Stephen, who is powerful and can transcend time and space.Strange, as well as his teacher and brother - as the supreme mage who guards the civilization of the earth and defends against the invasion of the demon world, Doctor Strange can perceive the anomalies of time and space, so that he can guard against time travelers, aliens, etc. The space invaders and the attacks of aliens can be regarded as the natural enemies of Wang Qiu and the other visitors from other worlds.However, according to the timeline of the plot, this guy has not yet achieved great success, so not participating in the alien war in New York is not considered a big threat for the time being.
Moreover, even if Doctor Strange came out of the mountain, he might not be able to take care of the endless enemies like whack-a-mole.In the Marvel world, there are so many time travelers, alien space invaders, and aliens that spring up like mushrooms after a spring rain. Doctor Strange can't finish it even if he is exhausted...
In addition, in Asgard, the kingdom of the Norse gods, there is a black warrior Heimdall who guards the Rainbow Bridge and can see everything on the earth!God knows if he can notice that the passage of time during the New York War is abnormal... Once the matter is revealed, these powerful people don't even need to take action themselves, as long as the news about Wang Qiu and others is quietly revealed, they can face a lot of troubles. The siege of the forces has been difficult since then.
"...In short, our actions must be as cautious as possible! In this world, our Doraemon props are not invincible, we must not do whatever we want, and provoke a lot of difficult and powerful enemies. Make the task fail or even die!"
Wang Qiu reminded Ma Tong and the others with a serious expression, "...Don't forget! At the beginning of this crossing mission, we just entered New York, and we sacrificed four comrades because of the alien army and the nuclear explosion. Among them, Comrade Xiao Zhang couldn’t even find his body!”
"...Moreover, also because of the large inventory of Doraemon props, our small team does not have an urgent need for some high-tech existing in the Marvel world. For example, let Black Widow Nata Sha Qingchun's eternal beauty technology, we have a better [time furoshiki] in our hands, which can make anyone rejuvenate directly at any time, and experience the feeling of being a primary school student.
Then, although Captain America has the serum for producing super soldiers, Peter Parker has the biochemical agent for transforming into Spider-Man, but we also have [Superman Suit]... Well, there seems to be a few copies of [Spider-Man Suit], so there is no need to envy them at all .Next, Doctor Strange certainly has magic, but we also have [Encyclopedia of Magic], which can turn the whole of America into a magical world at any time..."
Political Commissar Guo also said, "...As for Iron Man's armor, I didn't think of any similar substitutes for a while, but don't be fooled by the handsome scenes in the movie, this thing is in Tony's hands Although it is an invincible artifact, it is not very practical for us..."
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Let Tony.Stark's artifact from a playboy to Iron Man, the famous Mark series armor, is actually not practical?
Well, although it is a bit hard for many people to accept, it is true.
You must know that in a real war, the more powerful the weapon, the better, but the cost performance and maintenance difficulty must also be considered.
Otherwise, they are just the toys of the rich and rich, and they will become a burden on the battlefield.
For example, during World War II, the German Tiger tank was far more powerful than the Soviet T-34 tank, but it was also more expensive, more time-consuming and laborious to produce, and more difficult to maintain. Overwhelmed by a sea of tanks.
There are also modern fourth-generation and fifth-generation jet fighters. Although powerful, they are also more delicate to maintain. Not only do they need a constant temperature hangar with air conditioning, but also a large group of professional ground crews around them all day.There is no way to send them to the sky with a single pilot.
And Iron Man Tony.Since Stark's Mark series battle armor is a technological product rather than a magic prop, it must follow the same principle-as a toy for local tyrants, the cost of these battle armor is very expensive, at least more expensive than a famous Rolls-Royce sports car. are much more expensive.
In addition, they are not only the crystallization of high technology, but also the nightmare of logistics and maintenance personnel.As a leader in the high-tech field, Tony made top-notch configurations for his Iron Man armor regardless of cost. He chose the most expensive and best components and functions, and the production and maintenance costs were close to astronomical figures. It was definitely the most expensive in the world. personal toys.What's more terrible is that a large number of immature new materials and technologies are applied to each battle frame, so the complexity is extremely high.Considering the multiple functions of these armors, the number of parts on the later sets of armors is estimated to be at least tens of thousands, and the movable parts are at least thousands. The complexity is comparable to that of a jet fighter. It is extremely problematic.Considering its relatively small size, the difficulty of maintenance is geometrically increased, and ordinary technicians are simply incapable of repairing these complex "arts".
——Anyone who has been to a computer repair shop knows that traditional desktops are generally much easier to maintain than laptops and tablets, because of the difference in the size of the internal space.Larger internal space often means better heat dissipation performance and higher fault tolerance.Conversely, the smaller the internal space, the more integrated components, and the more compact the structure, the greater the probability of problems and the higher the difficulty of maintenance-because the structure is too compact, if there is a small problem anywhere, it will be very fast. quickly turned into a big problem.Even with the automatic detection function, it will take a long time to determine the specific fault location, and the actual maintenance is a difficult task that consumes physical energy, mental energy and accumulated knowledge and experience at the same time.
In the same way, the same is true for Iron Man's armor, except for Tony.Apart from Stark himself and his "Jarvis" smart housekeeper program, I am afraid that no one can maintain it.In the hands of Tony, these battle armors are omnipotent heroic artifacts, but if they are placed in the hands of ordinary logistics and maintenance teams, they will become jets of the Indian Air Force, falling non-stop from morning to night... Such a gorgeous "Toys" are really few people can stand.
Therefore, even if Wang Qiu and the others can really get one or two sets of Iron Man suits and successfully crack the anti-theft program on them, they can only use them a few times at most, and then they will be forced to scrap and seal them up due to poor maintenance. ——If Iron Man’s armor is really going to be widely used and become standard equipment for individual soldiers such as military exoskeletons, then it must meet the needs of mass production and equipment, greatly simplify the body structure and production process, reduce For this reason, he did not hesitate to give up most of the functions, and even sacrificed a certain amount of firepower and mobility, so as to reduce its cost and complexity, so that its maintenance work can be played by ordinary people, and it is best to achieve effective People with car repair experience only need to go through one or two months of surprise training to be proficient in repairs: I can't take Iron Man back as a maintenance coolie, can I?
In addition, you have to consider that this is an industrial product from another world, and to Wang Qiu's world, it is no different from something from aliens.The two worlds have developed different technology trees, set different industrial standards, and may even have differences in weights and measures. The parts produced in this world may not be able to be used on the Iron Man armor in the other world. ...
"...In other words, we probably won't even be able to get replacement parts for Iron Man's armor."
Political Commissar Guo spread his hands and said, "...we can't just set up several production lines to produce spare parts for their maintenance, right? It's impossible to specialize in cheap and small-scale production, and today's 3D printers can't do it. Degree! What is the difference between such an Iron Man armor and a chicken rib?"
Regarding the above remarks, Uncle Chen Ping and the woman Tang Marie couldn't help but nodded in agreement, but Ma Tong rolled his eyes and immediately found a loophole in it, "...wait a minute, there is no need to be so troublesome, okay? Okay? Don't we have 【Time Furoshiki】?"
She puffed up her chest and said triumphantly, "...In the comics, how many times have Doraemon's cars, planes and spaceships been blown into wreckage! In the leather], let the time go back a bit, can it be restored to the factory state? The Iron Man armor is the same! As long as we have the [Time Burden] in hand, why worry about its daily maintenance? ?”
Wang Qiu & Commissar Guo: "..."
——Uh, what you said is so reasonable, I am actually speechless...

PS: Recently, I learned something that refreshed the Three Views. According to the records in the history books, it was said that the Arabs started smoking waterpipes before they discovered America in the Middle Ages, and the pipes from the Tang Dynasty were discovered in China. , I feel very strange, there is no American tobacco yet, what kind of cigarettes are you smoking?
I watched a science and education film about drugs two days ago, and learned that these early smokers were not smoking tobacco, but marijuana, which originated in Central Asia!
As early as 2700 BC, about the same time as Dayu's flood control, addicts in the ancient Middle East had already started smoking hookah with marijuana!Later, as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions, marijuana was also introduced to the Central Plains along with grapes, watermelons and spinach, which made the Han people start to smoke, so there is a strange thing that pipes appeared earlier than tobacco. I can’t help but think of the scene where Zhuge Liang or Liu Bowen pointed the world while smoking a marijuana pipe... As for the time when opium was introduced to China, it was also very early-the instigator was actually the "best diplomat in history" of the Tang Dynasty Wang Xuance, who broke through Tianzhu alone, brought a lot of opium back from India when he was in triumph, and offered it to Tang Taizong Li Shimin as a panacea. It is said that it even made Tang Taizong addicted to it in his later years. Impression, so this person became unknown after that, and was almost obliterated by history... Hey, it turns out that human beings used drugs first and then smoked!
In addition, human beings seem to have learned to make wine first, and then to agriculture. Although many hunting tribes do not know how to farm, they know how to use wild fruits to make wine.The earliest wheat was used to make beer, and it took thousands of years for alcoholics to learn to bake bread and steam wheat...
How should I say this?Should we criticize the depravity and inferiority of human nature?
