EP1489. Friendship is friendship, business is business

There is a saying that in Stark's heart, he really doesn't want to deal with the military and clean up this mess for them.

But looking at his friend sitting in front of him, and recalling every detail of his previous interactions, Stark finally had to sigh: "Okay, for your sake. Tell me how you need me to cooperate."

?”

"Thanks, man." Colonel Rhodes' face relaxed and he finally smiled.

After thanking him, Colonel Rhodes cheered up and began to introduce his... no, it should be said to be the battle plan formulated by the military.

"Although there is not much video data left, it is impossible to thoroughly analyze how strong it is, but through some data obtained during the experiment, we still have some understanding of this monster called the symbiote. According to the records, it

Two exploitable weaknesses have been exposed, one is the fear of flames, and the other is the inability to resist sonic attacks."

"In response to these two weaknesses, we plan to ask you to create a batch of equipment specifically designed to target him. For example, the sonic cannon you invented before is a weapon that is very suitable for dealing with it. However, considering the speed of this thing,

It is too fast and very good at hiding in the crowd, so we hope you can make some modifications to the existing sonic cannon and design a new sonic cannon that is lighter and suitable for individual soldiers to carry."

"It doesn't have to be as powerful as the original in terms of power. After all, the weakness of this thing is high-frequency sound waves. When faced with this type of attack, its resistance is much worse than ordinary people. So, you don't have to worry at all.

After we get the new version of the sonic cannon, it will pose a threat to ordinary people, you know what I mean? Because the weakened version of the new sonic cannon can only be used to deal with symbiotes, and its power cannot threaten humans."

"In addition, considering that it is parasitic on humans, it may actively change its host when it encounters a desperate situation, intending to possess the soldiers who are attacking it... To put it simply, it is because the soldiers are directly face to face with it

If we fight, it will leave some loopholes that may be exploited. We need an automatic machine that can replace soldiers."

"But if it's a robot or a drone, we have only two requirements for this combat machine. One is that it must be fast enough, and the other is that it must be flexible enough. As for other aspects, such as firepower, defense...

Well, as long as it can meet the minimum standards, there are no high requirements."

"To put it bluntly, I just want you to quickly make a batch of not-so-high-end remote-controlled combat machines that can be used to round up these things in a targeted manner. The cheaper ones, after all, the larger the number, the better the siege net will be."

Weave it more tightly to prevent it from escaping again during the roundup."

After talking a lot for about three minutes, Colonel Rhodes finally finished explaining the military's request.

"If that's all..." After pondering for a moment, Stark responded: "It's not difficult at all. Just give me two hours."

"Two hours?"

"I have a ready-made template here. I can start production with just a few modifications." Stark nodded and replied confidently: "Two hours is the time required to manufacture equipment. According to my calculations, we should be able to produce

More than five hundred drones. This number should be enough to meet your requirements, right?"

"Five hundred units..." After thinking for a moment, Colonel Rhodes nodded: "If it's the kind that can fly, it should be enough."

"Why do I say it can't fly?" Stark smiled disdainfully, raised his hand and snapped his fingers: "Jarvis, bring up the design drawing stored in the database, which is used to build large-scale simulation scenes. That drone.”

"Okay, sir."

As Jarvis responded, a translucent screen appeared in mid-air.

The UAV design shown on the screen has a slightly unique shape, which is different from the various models currently used by the military and different from the civilian UAVs circulating on the market. It looks like A football floating in mid-air, except for a palm-sized protrusion on the left and right sides, the overall shape is very smooth.

It doesn't have the stiffness unique to military equipment, but instead has an inexplicable cuteness.

"Cancel the projection device mounted on the body and replace it with a small sonic cannon." Not noticing the suspicion in Colonel Rhodes's eyes, Stark stretched out his hand and ordered Jarvis while he began to modify the design: "Energy The core should also be replaced. The cost of using a micro-reactor would be too high, and the military would definitely not be willing to pay that money. Jarvis, add the battery power supply system I designed before, and by the way, give it another Make a charging mother box that can charge at least fifty drones at the same time."

"Using embedded design, yes, that's it. How heavy is this thing? Can it be installed directly on a pickup truck?" Looking at the design drawings that Jarvis compiled instantly, Stark nodded and confirmed.

"The total design weight is 2.5 tons. With the load-carrying performance of a military pickup truck, it is not a problem at all." Jarvis replied.

"Very good." Nodding, Stark turned to look at Colonel Rhodes: "There is one of these for every fifty units, a total of ten units. In other words, a total of ten small reactors are needed. Such a financial investment , you shouldn’t have any objections, right? If you think it’s too expensive, I can also replace it with a high-performance battery with a smaller total energy storage capacity for you.”

"What's the specific price? You know, I'm just a messenger, and my authority is not that high. If too much money is needed, I have to ask my superiors for instructions."

"If the Ark reactor is used as the energy supply core, the cost of each mother box is about 200 million US dollars." Stark shrugged and reported a series of figures: "Ten units total 2 billion. In addition, no In terms of man-machine, each one costs 100,000 US dollars. After all, it is equipped with a small sonic cannon specially designed for this operation. In addition, it also uses the most advanced unmanned flight technology and intelligent control system. Well, five One hundred units, a total of 50 million... Well, considering that the mother box requires a total of 2 billion, I will take a step back and the drone will not charge any money, it can be regarded as a tie-in in this business."

"2 billion?" Colonel Rhodes smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The unit price is not expensive, but the total price... Man, if we replace it with a high-performance battery as you just said, how much will it cost?"

"Jarvis."

"If you replace it with a high-performance battery as the power supply core, the cost of the mother box will be around 50 million."

"Eh? No way, replacing the battery will cost 50 million?" Colonel Rhodes blinked in surprise.

"Is it difficult to understand?" Stark shrugged, with a matter-of-fact expression: "I just invented this battery not long ago, and it hasn't been officially put into production yet. Moreover, compared with the existing batteries on the market, I mean

It's the kind used in electric cars. Its overall performance is at least five times stronger. Do you understand what I mean? Although this thing is also called a battery, it doesn't sound like anything special. In fact, it is also a cutting-edge product with high technological content.

."

"...Okay, okay, I understand." What else can be said, Colonel Rhodes could only nodded: "Ten units, a total of 500 million, right?"

"No, 50 million is the cost price. I can't sell it to you without making a penny. At most, I just make less for your sake."

"Then how much do you say?"

"65 million for each unit, 650 million for ten units. Including the 50 million for the drones, the total is 700 million." Stark looked at his friend seriously, his eyes full of

He firmly said: "No more, man, you have to understand that you are asking me for help now, not me who insists on doing business with you."

"...Okay, 700 million, I agree."
