Chapter 55 Old Dog Pees? Tony's Defenses Are Breached!

Before they even entered the underground research lab, the sound of mechanical arms turning could be heard.

"hiss!"

Just then came Tony's gasp, "Jarvis! Can't you be a little gentler?!"

"Excuse me, sir, you may have forgotten, but I'm an artificial intelligence and don't know what gentleness is. Could you explain it to me?"

Jarvis's reply was as gentlemanly and polite as ever.

"Just be gentle!"

Tony said with a helpless expression.

"Do you need any help?"

Horn found it somewhat amusing, but dared not laugh out loud; he simply stepped forward and asked.

"Horn, you've come just in time! Come help me!"

Tony was taken aback for a moment, but he wasn't surprised by Tony's arrival. He immediately called for help.

"Dude, what are you up to? Are you cosplaying?"

Knowing the situation, Horn feigned confusion and asked as he walked to the manual control panel.

The robotic arm may be unfamiliar to others, but for him, who had lived with Tony since childhood, it was easy to operate even without the manufacturing technology.

"What cosplay?! Horn, I seriously suspect you're making fun of your older brother!"

On the loading dock, Tony, dressed in tattered armor and standing in an odd posture, looking extremely disheveled, blushed upon hearing this, realizing that there was indeed some truth to it.

"No! Absolutely not, I swear!"

Horn operated the robotic arm to help Tony disassemble his armor, and four fingers grew out of his other hand, but his mouth was trembling wildly.

"Don't even mention pronouncing 'four,' even pronouncing 'five' (the English pronunciation of '5') won't help! I saw your lips trembling!"

Tony, having freed himself from the dismantling of one arm, immediately pointed it at Horn's mouth.

"Okay, I admit I kind of want to laugh, but believe me, as long as you pretend you didn't notice, I can definitely hold it in."

Horn shrugged, readily admitting it, but then turned his head to the side, not daring to look at Tony again.

His current posture is really strange.

Standing on one leg like a rooster? Or like an old dog urinating?

They look very similar!

"Look in my eyes!"

Tony raised an eyebrow and stared intently at Horn's profile.

"Pfft—"

Horn couldn't hold back and almost burst out laughing.

You just laughed!

"No!"

"I heard everything!"

"Absolutely not!"

"Okay, laugh if you want. I know I look pathetic right now."

Tony sighed. He was perfectly fine when he left today, and he never expected that he would almost not be able to come back.

Unexpectedly, they not only encountered an unknown attack, but were also detected by military radar and then caught up with a Raptor fighter jet.

If it weren't for a mysterious person secretly intervening, he probably would have really been caught off guard and lost his life.

"Pfft, hahahahaha—"

Horn finally couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

"Hey! I told you not to laugh, and you actually did! I'm in such a sorry state, and you don't even care what happened?"

Tony's face darkened, and he pretended to be angry.

"Hold on a bit, I just thought of something funny, and it's definitely not because you're funny that I'm laughing."

Horn paused for a moment, then quickly lowered his head to apologize, but the corners of his mouth trembled again.

The two joked around for a while as usual, until Tony's armor was completely removed with Horn's help, and Tony took a few solid punches to the back, finally bringing the fight to a close.

"Hiss—it doesn't hurt."

Horn smiled and tilted his head, teasingly remarking.

"Is your body made of iron? When did you train to be so tough? I didn't feel any pain from your punch, but my fist does hurt."

Tony rolled his eyes, rubbed his fists, and walked to the bar to pour himself and Horn a glass of whiskey each.

"You'll find out soon enough. Let's talk about yours first."

Horn kept him in suspense, not rushing to hand over the [Basic Physique Enhancement Agent]. Instead, he first looked at the armor that had just been removed beside him. "Is this the finished Mark armor?"

"Yes, isn't he handsome?"

Tony, no longer sleepy, raised his eyebrows, his expression one of boasting. "Its performance is also very strong. If it weren't for a little accident today, I could have shown you."

"The material of the armor is ultimately the most fundamental issue. I just disassembled it and observed the marks on the armor. I found that after the energy barrier was broken, it only withstood a few shells before it became like this."

Horn frowned as he recalled the image of Tony being attacked that he had seen through the Shadow Sword drone.

"It can withstand the bombardment of several shells and still allow me to return unharmed. Its defensive capabilities are already quite good. Moreover, gold-titanium alloy is the best material for making battle armor. Even if I wanted to change it, I would have no other choice."

Tony shrugged helplessly.

Regarding the issue of the armor's material, Tony had already discovered during the armor's manufacture that its defensive capabilities were very limited and incomparable to those of an energy barrier.

Therefore, he also tried to find other alternative materials. Some metals were indeed very hard, but they were too hard and not suitable for making armor. Some materials were flexible enough, but not hard enough. In the end, he came up with nothing.

"Perhaps we can start with the manufacturing technology."

Horn gave a pointed reminder, but didn't say it explicitly.

"Manufacturing technology—you mean nanorobotics?"

With Tony's intelligence, he understood it almost instantly and didn't need much explanation.

He instantly grasped the key and feasibility of the situation. A series of thoughts flashed through his eyes, and he envisioned various solutions. His gaze brightened. "Use gold-titanium alloy to create nanorobots—if quality isn't enough, quantity will make up for it! As long as there are enough nanorobots to repair the damaged areas, we won't have to worry about this problem occurring!"

"That's a brilliant idea!"

Horn did not hold back his applause at all.

In fact, this is the plan he is currently using. For the official version of the Assault Freedom Armor, he plans to use nanobots made of gold-titanium alloy to temporarily compensate for the material's defects.

Of course, this solution is a last resort, since even if the nanorobots repair it quickly, they can never make up for the inherent defensive strength of the gold-titanium alloy.

If the enemy is strong enough, they can even penetrate your armor directly, giving you no time for the nanobots to repair it!

For example, in the Avengers: Infinity War storyline, Thanos pierced Tony's abdomen with a weapon, not giving him a chance to use nanobots to repair his armor. If Thanos hadn't finished him off, there wouldn't have been any Avengers: Endgame.

He would absolutely not allow such a situation to happen again.
