Watching Jane leave, Daisy turned back, sighing dramatically, hugging her arms to emphasize her full figure, and said sourly.
"Isn't a certain king a bit too biased when it comes to researching for someone?"
Ron hadn't told her to get a physical examination, nor had he shown concern for her health.
"Are you implying you want me to pay more attention to you?"
Taking a step closer, the distance between them narrowed, and Ron asked with a smile.
Almost able to feel Ron's body heat and breath, Daisy's face flushed slightly, and she, usually so bold, uncharacteristically glanced away: "I didn't say that."
...
Ability Points: 720,000.
Leaving Jane and Daisy's lab, Ron went to check on Selvig's research.
He was studying the Ancient Winter Coffin and had invented a freezing ray gun, which had decent power, but Ron was most concerned about the defensive energy dome.
The answer he got from Selvig was a bit disappointing.
"If this energy entity called the 'Ancient Winter Coffin' powers Wakanda's defensive dome, it can slightly increase its strength, but the improvement is limited."
For the defensive energy dome to be stronger, there needed to be a technological breakthrough, just like giving an electric baton endless power; due to limitations in technology and materials, it still couldn't generate the same powerful current as Thor.
"It seems I need to find another way. I remember that Wakanda isn't the only one with energy dome technology, for example, a certain race on the Moon…"
With a general plan in mind, he temporarily put this matter aside and left Selvig's lab. He then went to a newly established lab.
After obtaining the Arc Reactor and Iron Man Suit manufacturing methods, Ron had given them to Wakanda's research department personnel, instructing them to replicate and mass-produce Iron Man Sentinels.
However, Wakanda's energy technology didn't quite align with the Iron Man Suit, so mass production might take some time. Fortunately, he had Whiplash.
"Your Majesty, the Iron Man Sentinel you requested has been completed."
Chewing on a toothpick, with a White parrot perched on his shoulder, Whiplash, sitting in a remote-controlled wheelchair, extended his hand and respectfully showed Ron the robot being tested in the lab behind the bulletproof glass.
Looking through the glass.
An Iron Man cast robot Sentinel, with an Arc Reactor installed in its chest, somewhat resembling the X-Men's Sentinel robots, was undergoing defensive testing.
"The Wakandan W1 Iron Man Sentinel, with a maximum load capacity of fifteen tons in its arms, a flight speed of up to Mach 2, and equipped with weapons: palm repulsor rays, a high-power chest repulsor, back armor-piercing missiles, shoulder micro-guided missiles, etc. As for defense…"
As he introduced it, a supersonic energy cannon more powerful than a main battle tank's main gun blasted the robot behind the glass.
Flying dozens of meters, the robot quickly stabilized itself in the air with its palm thrusters, but its outer shell was only slightly dented, appearing to be not badly damaged.
"Your Majesty, I believe you have seen it."
He chuckled.
W stands for the first letter of Wakanda.
"Do you have anything better?"
If the U.S. Military saw the W1 Iron Man Sentinel, they would undoubtedly be ecstatic. This was a robot with power surpassing Iron Man's armor, and it could even be mass-produced. But Ron's expression was calm as he glanced at him.
"Don't tell me that in a country that can produce Vibranium, you've only made these robots that even my dog can easily tear apart?"
"Of course, there is more, Your Majesty, please look."
He turned his wheelchair and moved to the control panel to issue a command.
Soon, a silver robot walked in, more than twice the size of the previous one, tall but not at all bulky, full of a streamlined beauty.
"Vibranium, as the hardest metal on Earth, is far stronger than Iron Man yet only one-third its weight. Robots made of Vibranium can certainly be larger."
"Your Majesty, allow me to introduce the V1 Vibranium Sentry. Its arm load capacity reaches two hundred tons, its flight speed can reach Mach 10, and in addition to the W1 model's basic weapons, it is also equipped with laser cutting rays, freezing energy rays, and micro plasma cannons."
As for defense, a Sentinel robot made entirely of Vibranium, strictly speaking, its strongest attribute is its defensive capability. Even limited by the energy support the reactor can provide, its offensive and defensive capabilities are not on the same level.
"The V1 model robot can withstand small nuclear explosions."
V stands for the first letter of Vibranium.
"Are there no shortcomings?"
Nodding slightly with satisfaction, Ron then asked.
The offensive and defensive capabilities of the Vibranium Sentry robot far exceed those of Iron Man's Mark 85 armor in Avengers: Endgame.
Perhaps Stark could come close after purchasing Vibranium and manufacturing new armor, but it would still be impossible to catch up, as the hollow armor has limited space for devices and weapons.
"The shortcoming might be its endurance."
Hesitantly taking out the toothpick he held, Anton Vanko replied with a slight embarrassment.
"The V1 model is equipped with the same Arc Reactor as the W1 model.
If it goes all out, it can only sustain intense combat for a little over ten minutes."
He knew the problem but had no solution.
"Insufficient energy core?"
Ron recalled the new type of reactor Stark created with a new element after the battle with Whiplash Morlock.
He wondered if Stark had discovered the gift his father left him after the plot changed.
"For now, it's still acceptable."
He didn't demand too much.
With the W1 and V1 Sentinels, dealing with minor villains who might cause trouble or steal in Wakanda was enough.
He didn't expect the Sentinel robots to solve all problems.
As long as Wakanda's rather pathetic national defense could be strengthened a bit, and he wouldn't have to intervene in everything, that would be fine.
Just as he was thinking…
"Your Majesty, a powerful strange woman has appeared in the country. She is causing widespread destruction in the city, and our ground forces…"
Suddenly, Najia's slightly anxious voice rang out in the room.
"They can't stop her, right?"
He said expressionlessly, already guessing what she wanted to say.
"Yes… yes." Najia nodded awkwardly on the other side.
A holographic projection appeared in the room.
