Marvel's Agents of the Spear

In the villa, Tony clapped his hands and said, "Wake up, daddy is back."

"Welcome home, sir." The unique voice of the Jarvis subwoofer sounded, soft lights lit up one after another, and complex projections emerged in the air, "Welcome, Mr. Fazer."

"You're welcome, Jarvis." Fazer smiled.

With his back to Fazer, Tony replaced the palladium energy plate on his chest, ignoring the strange lines on the skin around the reactor on his chest. Tony put down his clothes and turned around with a smile, "I heard about New Mexico, Zero, it seems like you won't win easily. .”

Faze raised his hand and touched his eye sockets, "Without my eyes, I can see more clearly than before. But it's you, Tony. The feeling of palladium poisoning is not pleasant."

Palladium is a member of Group 8 platinum series elements of the fifth cycle. It is a silver-white transition metal. It was a chemical element discovered in platinum mines by British chemist Wollaston in 1803. It is indispensable for high-tech fields such as aerospace and aviation, as well as the automobile manufacturing industry. Missing key material.

At normal temperature, 1 volume of sponge palladium can absorb 900 volumes of hydrogen, and 1 volume of colloidal palladium can absorb 1200 volumes of hydrogen. When heated to 4050C, a large amount of absorbed hydrogen is released, and is widely used as a gas reaction, especially as a hydrogenation or dehydrogenation catalyst. It can also be used to make resistance wires, watch alloys, etc.

Tony used palladium to build the Jericho missile and now uses it for the reactor.

As the metal with the lowest melting point among the platinum group metals, palladium has excellent physical and chemical properties. It is resistant to high temperatures, corrosion, and wear, and has extremely strong stretchability. It can be replaced by platinum and gold in terms of purity, rarity, and durability.

If used as jewelry, it is worth more than gold.

What is the most important thing about jewelry? Preciousness, eternity and purity.

Precious palladium is one of the rarest precious metals in the world. The content in the earth's crust is about one part per 100 million, which is much rarer than gold. Only a few countries in the world, such as Russia and South Africa, produce it. The total annual output is less than five thousandths of gold, and it is rarer than platinum.

Eternal palladium is extremely tough. Jewelry made of palladium not only has the natural and charming brilliance of platinum, but also can withstand the tempering of time and remain as new for a long time.

Pure palladium has almost no impurities, is extremely pure, and shines white. The purity of palladium is also very suitable for skin and will not cause skin allergies.

However, the palladium energy plate on Tony's chest is not jewelry, but numerous hydrogen purification filters made of palladium alloy rolled with palladium membranes and palladium tubes with a thickness of only 5 to 10 microns stacked together.

When the Ark reactor pressurized the hydrogen gas obtained by decomposing water in Tony's body into one side of the membrane, the hydrogen molecules first chemically adsorbed on the membrane surface and dissociated into hydrogen atoms. The latter dissolved in the palladium alloy to form hydride, which was very small in size. Hydrogen atoms are located in the gaps of the palladium alloy crystal lattice and can move freely.

Driven by the concentration gradient, hydrogen atoms diffuse from the high concentration side to the low concentration side of the membrane and precipitate, recombine into hydrogen molecules and then desorb.

Due to the characteristics of palladium metal, no other gases except hydrogen and its isotopes can pass through the palladium membrane. Therefore, the palladium membrane can be used to obtain ultra-high purity hydrogen, which can be supplied to the Ark reactor for fusion to obtain 30 billion joules of energy per second.

This genius design has a fatal flaw due to the characteristics of palladium metal. Certain impurities can cause membrane poisoning, reduce the hydrogen permeability of the membrane, and even cause the membrane to be damaged.

Tony needs to replace the palladium energy plate frequently because it is not installed on the machine, but on his chest.

As long as the reactor is still in his chest, he cannot prevent the destruction of the palladium membrane caused by impurities, nor can he prevent the destroyed palladium from entering his body, causing palladium poisoning in his body.

He can only use special drinks to relieve symptoms, starting with 80 ounces a day, which is rounded up to 24 liters.

The largest bottle of Coke is only 25 liters, and chlorophyll juice is not as delicious as Coke.

Tony's hand holding the cup paused, "How do you know?"

"Don't underestimate the students from Qingbei." Faze said with a smile, "Especially when he is an agent who has observed the entire manufacturing process of the Ark reactor. I once used palladium metal to make hydrogen batteries to increase battery capacity. Because of the cost. It’s expensive and only available to some people.”

Tony twitched the corners of his mouth, drank the chlorophyll juice in the cup, and frowned.

"Why not use other batteries," Fa Ze said helplessly, "It is not difficult for you to put the Ark reactor on the outside of the suit. A small electromagnet can maintain your life. There is no need to carry it with you every day. 30 billion joules running around every second. Find out more about Nanfu Batteries"

"Because I am Iron Man. I and the Iron Suit are one." Tony raised his head slightly and tapped the reactor on his chest. "The Iron Suit protects my body, and my body protects the core of the Iron Suit. Only I can That's what only Iron Man can do."

Tony opened his arms, and behind him were displayed the clumsy Mark 1, the silver Mark 2, and the battle-damaged Mark 3. "My suit and I have become one from the inside out, and no one else can do that. Anyone who puts on the Iron Suit can gain power, but he is not Iron Man. The Iron Suit is a part of my body and its importance is equal to my heart. I cannot abandon the core of the suit like an appendix."

The Ark Reactor is a symbol that distinguishes Tony from everyone else.

As Tony said, anyone who puts on the Iron Suit can gain power, but wanting to become Iron Man also requires the consciousness to match the power.

The Ark Reactor embedded in his chest is proof of Tony's personal awakening.

When the core is wrapped in flesh and blood, the steel suit is not just a cold machine; when the flesh and blood body is embedded in the core, Tony is not just a genius, playboy, philanthropist, inventor, billionaire, but a superhero iron Man.

Without the Ark Reactor embedded in his chest, the Iron Suit is just a weapon, and Tony is just Tony.

That's what he thinks now.

The world needs heroes.

Tony believes that he has this ability and this responsibility.

He couldn't back down, and he didn't want to back down.

Tony needs the Ark Reactor embedded in his chest to remind him of his original intention.

"So our superhero Mr. Iron Man Tony Stark would rather die on the way forward than take even one step back." Fazer chuckled.

Tony smiled, "I knew you understood me."

"Do you know the results of my colleague's psychological evaluation of you?"

Tony raised his eyebrows, "Genius, handsome guy, unparalleled, hero who saves the world."

Fa Ze chuckled, "He is arrogant, conceited, self-righteous, the second self-destructive lunatic."

"Second" Tony pouted.

Fa Ze shrugged, "No. 1 is sitting in front of you."
