[ Tony reaches for the arm part on the table twice to no avail. After the adjustment, he reaches out to the workbench again. ]
[ After a short delay, an arm part on the workbench suddenly lights up with blue light. The jet port of the propeller sprays with force, lifting it into the air before it rushes straight toward Tony's left hand. ]
[ A snap. The arm part fits perfectly onto Tony's palm, and layers of mechanical structures spread from the palm to the upper arm. Then, the shoulder part automatically flies over and locks neatly into place. ]
[ Next, Tony stretches out his right hand, signaling for the right arm part. Just like before, the right arm part attaches with precision and rapidly spreads upward. ]
[ Tony's face bursts into a wide, excited smile. ]
The audience in the live broadcast room is stunned. Countless exclamation marks fill the screen from top to bottom.
"!!!"
"!!!?"
"It's flying! Can these parts really fly?"
"Damn! Tony, this isn't just a suit!"
"My friends and I are speechless!"
"Special effects! Definitely special effects!"
"Loki: That's not scientific!"
"Mark 42, that's insane!"
"This is leagues beyond the robotic arm wear and wrist positioning fit of the Mark 7!"
"This is amazing! I love him so much!"
"What kind of science is this?"
"I get it! Damn, I get it!"
"What do you get upstairs?"
"Maya's plants exploded after regeneration because the rapid regrowth consumed huge energy, producing chemical reactions, releasing massive heat, then boom!"
"You… you're not well, are you?"
"I love this new way of wearing the Mark 42 suit!"
"How did Big Bro Cope pull this off?"
"When the shoulders flew over, I saw two small tail flames, propulsion?"
"Yes! Autopilot propulsion! That's what it is!"
Viewers in the live broadcast go wild with love for the new Mark 42 assembly method. But toy model manufacturers are quietly crying. Too fast! The updates come faster than they can draw. There's no way to imitate it!
Meanwhile, the chief's office falls into silence. Only a few high-ranking military industrialists and physicists remain, their faces red with embarrassment.
Moments ago, they'd all said it was impossible, and Tony just slapped them with proof. Even the seasoned defense magnates, used to big moments, now look like ostriches burying their heads in the sand, muttering speechlessly.
Biologist Darwin exclaims, "What kind of technology is this?"
"It not only navigates autonomously but also flies over and expands outward from the part itself!" Physicist Nicholas says solemnly, "The technological content is extremely high! Auto-navigation must be a microcosm of a macro navigation system. And I suspect the tiny device injected into his arm is more than simple positioning. It likely integrates motion nerve capture and behavioral dynamic tracking systems."
The military bosses relax slightly.
Someone adds, "Nicholas is right. Tony completed the positioning and attachment of the arm and shoulder parts mid-movement. But I doubt the parts could be worn directly without that link. The synergy between Jarvis and those micro-devices, that's the true core."
Historian Johan points at the screen and says, "I saw someone in the audience raise a good question. The arm part uses palm energy storage for flight power, but what about the rest of the parts? Do they all have energy vents too?"
Several military leaders fall silent.
One says, "I deduce it's using micro rocket motors that generate forward thrust in pulses."
Nicholas frowns. "I don't think a tiny rocket engine could fit into that kind of component."
A defense industry boss shakes his head. "A servo mechanism plus swing nozzle, probably involving vector thruster principles. These micro thrusters stabilize missile warheads and spacecraft, providing speed or orbit corrections. They include a booster system, propellant tank, and multiple rocket engines of varying thrust. They can pulse, adjust power, start hundreds of thousands of times, and work even in a vacuum."
"Theoretically, when miniaturized, that's enough to adjust the weight of each part." He suddenly pauses and frowns. "But aerodynamics can't be ignored."
The others nod.
"Right. Each part's shape varies. Even with pulse micro attitude engines, achieving that level of fast and stable flight means aerodynamics can't be avoided."
As they talk, Darwin suddenly chimes in: "I remember, isn't there a turbulent theory in fluid mechanics?"
The physicists and military tycoons go silent. Especially Nicholas and his colleagues, whose expressions grow increasingly shocked.
Nicholas trembles. "Tony… could he have already solved the turbulence equations?!"
"Impossible!"
"Turbulence is the most terrifying unknown in fluid mechanics; how could it be solved now?"
Tonio and the others look completely lost. They don't fully understand what's being said, but the grave expressions around them tell them one thing: this turbulence theory means something monumental.
Nicholas takes a deep breath and explains: "When flow velocity increases greatly, streamlines blur, countless small eddies form, laminar flow collapses, layers start sliding and mixing chaotically. At that point, the fluid moves irregularly, with velocity components perpendicular to the main axis. That motion is called turbulent flow.
"Studying turbulence helps us overcome drag. In simple terms, it can make resistance in air or water almost nonexistent! Current turbulence theories are all statistical, with no real specific solution." His voice trembles as he continues.
Turbulence is one of the hardest unsolved problems in science. If Tony had cracked it, the entire Terra Federation would be shaken to its core. That discovery could literally change the world.
Everyone who understands the implication feels their breath tighten.
The director says solemnly, "If Tony truly solved the turbulence problem, then Jarvis must be the one running those equations, calculating in real time to adjust flight posture and keep perfect synchronization."
Darwin nods. "So even if the turbulence formulas and avoidance schemes exist, it's Jarvis' AI processing power that makes them viable?"
The physicists agree. Jarvis's capability is extraordinary.
A defense boss praises, "If we had Jarvis' assistance, so many of our projects would be twice as efficient."
Everyone nods in agreement.
In the live room, Tony's Mark 42 testing continues, and everyone watches breathlessly to see whether the trial succeeds.
[ After both arm parts attach perfectly, Tony smiles, "Very good! Let's see it! Launch all parts!" ]
[ As soon as he speaks, several parts on the workbench take off, one after another, flying straight toward him. Leg parts soar, Tony bends his knees, and the suit quickly covers his thighs. Another part moves even faster, smashing through several lab devices. ]
[ Parts rush at high speed. Tony raises his hand, deflecting them. Sparks fly. He smirks, "A bit too fast, slow it down just a little." ]
[ But the other components barely slow, whirling wildly through the lab. The glass display of an older steel suit shatters. After several chaotic flights, Tony lifts his left leg, finally locking the piece into place. ]
[ But before he can steady himself, an inverted triangle armor plate slams straight toward his crotch. With a sharp clang, Tony clutches his groin, grimacing in pain. ]
