NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 10 - Giving the idea of Iron Man Suit to Tony
Chapter 10: Giving the idea of Iron Man Suit to Tony
With Tony’s financial resources and years of playboy experience, it was no problem for him to entertain Lu Yuan.
So at the end of the day, Lu Yuan had a lot of fun.
Originally, Tony was going to take him out at night to play.
But in the end, Lu Yuan refused even though he wanted to go.
Who was he kidding? During the day, when he went to the toilet, he almost destroyed it.
All the urinals were broken.
Therefore, he could only forget about it for the time being. He had to wait until he completely grasped his power in the future.
Moreover, Lu Yuan and Tony were different. Tony was an unruly child, while Lu Yuan was more relationship-oriented and wanted to find a sincere girlfriend.
So Happy drove them home.
That was right. Because Lu Yuan didn’t have a place to stay, he was going to live at Tony’s house.
Was a bodyguard like that too dutiful, or too arrogant?
As mentioned before, Tony’s home had a lot of high-tech products. He had even developed an artificial intelligent butler.
Apart from that, Tony even had a laboratory downstairs where he usually made some gadgets.
Normally, he wouldn’t let anyone get close to this place. Even Obadiah couldn’t come here. Besides him, only Pepper could enter this laboratory.
But today, there was an exception. Tony had invited Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan observed Tony’s work equipment, as well as an old car that was half dismantled.
This old car was entirely red, with some gold color as a foil.
Speaking of which, its color was very similar to the color of Tony’s Iron Man armor. It was better to say that the overall color of Iron Man armor was based on this.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan began to think.
Just then, Tony asked him, “How is it? Is it a little interesting?”
Lu Yuan scoffed and said, “I really don’t know what you guys are thinking. Obviously, you have a reliable energy source, but you are using it as a decoration in the company hall.”
Suddenly Tony was stunned, then his eyes lit up. “You mean the Ark?”
They were not talking about Noah’s Ark, but the Ark Reactor.
Ark reactor, also known as a palladium ark reactor, because this was an ark reactor based on palladium element.
Why did Lu Yuan suddenly mention this?
Tony knew that there was an Ark reactor on the first floor of Stark Tower, and it was a large one.
However, until now, that had only been a paper project to help Stark Industries gain face. He had never thought of using and developing it.
Wasn’t this stupid?
“There’s an enormous amount of energy available, but it’s just left there as a showcase. Don’t you think it’s a waste? You guys should have entered a more advanced era of technology, but you guys have been standing still.” Lu Yuan shook his head and smacked his lips. He looked like a person who was from a high-tech alien civilization.
Tony thought about it for a long time, but he did not know how to develop the Ark Reactor and said. “We wanted to develop it in the past, but we failed.”
“Although I don’t know how you want to develop it, my suggestion is to use it as a pure energy source,” Lu Yuan said.
“But how should we apply it to weapons?” Tony continued to ask questions.
Lu Yuan understood.
Tony Stark was an arms dealer, after all. So he had only one thing on his mind, and that was how to develop weapons of new-era.
However, it was too difficult to use the massive power of the ark reactor as a weapon, and it was not easy to conduct experiments and tests either.
That’s why Tony had no choice but to stop. He had always wanted to develop this thing, but there was nothing he could do about it.
When he suddenly heard Lu Yuan’s words, he was extremely excited.
“I want more money.” Instead of answering Tony’s question, Lu Yuan suddenly made a gesture of rubbing his fingers. It was a sign of asking for money.
Tony looked at Lu Yuan, dumbfounded. It was not an easy thing to be so straightforward.
“Sure, how much do you want?” Tony did not hesitate and asked Lu Yuan how much wanted.
Lu Yuan changed his tone and said, “I won’t talk about it now. Later you can just give me according to how much you think it will be worth in the future.”
Tony was stunned. He did not want to agree to such a vague term.
At the same time, he could hear Lu Yuan’s confidence.
Of course, Lu Yuan was confident. This was the core technology of the Iron Man armor. To Tony, who would become the Iron Man in the future, how valuable was it?
Negotiating the price now? Was he stupid?
Tony hesitated. He indeed hesitated. If he was someone like Obadiah, he would agree to it first. As for the future, he would talk about it later.
But Tony was not that kind of person. Once he agreed, he would fulfill his promise in the future.
No matter how unrestrained he was, he rarely broke his promise.
However, seeing Lu Yuan’s confident expression, he couldn’t help but feel itchy deep down. In the end, he agreed, “Alright, but if your proposal doesn’t satisfy me, you have to promise me a condition and tell me what your civilization and technology are like.”
Lu Yuan agreed happily. He thought that if the situation was bad, he would just take out a smartphone to fool him.
The current year was 2008, and smartphones were still far from being developed.
Maybe this could also make a fortune?
Of course, Lu Yuan was not a greedy person. There was no point in asking for so much money.
Therefore, his main goal was not money. Instead of money, he wanted an excuse to advance the plot. If he didn’t even get anything, why would he bother to do these things?
If looked for Obadiah and didn’t get any money later, why would he do that?
Did he fancy someone?
Nonsense.
Therefore, asking for money was a good reason.
Lu Yuan stopped talking and took out a drawing. He had prepared it beforehand. He had drawn it when he was in Tony’s office.
There was a slightly crooked Iron Man armor on the drawing, and this Iron Man armor was square. To be honest, even primary schools students’ drawing would be better than this one.
Tony held back his laughter. He could also see that it was the drawing of a robot, but he really couldn’t know its details without a detailed drawing.
Lu Yuan coughed dryly. Although he couldn’t draw, he had enough information.
So he immediately began to bluff, “I call it Iron Man’s armor.”
“Iron Man?” Upon hearing the word Iron Man, Tony’s eyes lit up as if these words were destined for him.
Lu Yuan nodded and continued, “As long as there is enough energy, this will be a combination of weapons and protective armor. It will be easy to move and a single person will be able to face an army.”
This was not an exaggeration.
“Your ideas are too backward. What’s the point of constantly developing handguns and cannons? When this set of armor has been developed to the extreme, it will even be able to travel through space. Isn’t it good?”
