American comics: Starting as the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast

Before Roy could speak, Tony gave instructions to Jarvis.

"Jarvis, bring up the Mark 6 demo image."

"Yes, sir."

Jarvis's distinctly mechanical voice immediately rang out.

The next second, the table with 3D projection function displayed the Mark 6.

Tony gave Roy a look and walked towards the projection table first.

Roy followed Tony to the projection table.

Although the armor's designation was Mark 6, the projected armor was the same as the Mark 7 in his memory.

To be precise, it's the same as the Mark 7 before it was transformed.

"Jarvis, demonstrate the Mark 6's laser-guided tracking rapid deployment system."

Tony continued.

"Yes, sir."

As soon as Jarvis's voice rang out, the projected Mark 6 began demonstrating its laser-guided tracking rapid deployment system.

A model of Tony appeared on the projection table first.

Immediately afterwards, the Mark 6, which looked much like an aircraft, flew towards Tony's model like a missile.

The Mark 6's laser-guided tracking system locked onto the arms of the Tony model, then deployed its armor, completely enveloping the model as if possessing it, completing the final armor deployment.

From locking the user to completing the final deployment, the entire process took less than ten seconds.

As Jarvis demonstrated the completely new rapid deployment system, Tony turned to Roy and asked, "How's it going?"

Roy nodded and replied, "Very good, much better than the Mark 5."

Tony looked at the projection of the Mark 6 with satisfaction and continued, "It's expected to be better than the Mark 5."

"To make it easier to carry, I made a lot of lightweight modifications to the Mark 5, which compressed the original Mark 5 to the size of a suitcase."

"In order to reduce weight, the weapon system only retains the pulse cannons in both hands and the cluster cannon in the chest, and the defensive performance has also been reduced to the point that it can only withstand small weapons."

"The Mark 6 has no such concerns and does not need to sacrifice performance for portability."

"In addition, I upgraded the Mark 6's weapon system, giving it firepower far exceeding that of previous generations of armor."

"Apart from……"

At this point, Tony stopped talking and glanced down at the Mark II palladium arc reactor on his chest.

"Besides what?"

Roy asked.

"It's nothing."

"For the armor I develop in the future, I will use the same deployment system as the Mark 6."

Tony replied.

Roy glanced at Tony and said slowly, "Although I'm not as smart as you, I know that prolonged exposure to palladium will inevitably lead to palladium poisoning."

Tony frowned and asked, "How did you figure that out?"

"How I figured it out isn't important; what's important is that you find a substitute for palladium as soon as possible."

Roy said calmly.

"After discovering palladium poisoning, I started looking for palladium substitutes."

"I've tried every combination of all the elements, but I still haven't found a substitute for palladium."

After saying that, Tony sighed helplessly.

He is not someone who gives up easily.

However, he had to admit that among the known elements on Earth, there is no element that can replace palladium.

Roy patted Tony on the shoulder and said slowly, "In consideration of your help in optimizing the physical enhancement drug and developing the spider serum, I have three solutions to your current problem."

Three options?

Tony looked at Roy with surprise and quickly asked, "Tell me about these three options."

Roy didn't keep Tony in suspense and began to explain the three solutions for palladium poisoning.

"Option 1: Find a top cardiologist to remove the shrapnel left in your body."

"Without shrapnel constantly threatening your life, you won't need to keep the palladium arc reactor in your chest, and naturally you won't continue to be infected with palladium, which would worsen the poisoning symptoms."

Tony thought about it carefully for a moment, then slowly said, "What about the other two options?"

"Option 2: Use the physical enhancement potion you personally optimized to strengthen yourself."

"This approach cannot address the root cause of palladium poisoning, but it strengthens the body's constitution, enhances its self-repair capabilities and resistance, and can reduce the symptoms of poisoning."

"If your physique is strong enough, you can even become immune to palladium poisoning."

Roy continued.

Although this solution is not a permanent cure, it can at least partially address Tony's palladium poisoning problem.

After a moment of silence, Tony replied, "Option 1 is to have me undergo surgery to remove the shrapnel, and Option 2 is to use a performance-enhancing drug to become a superhuman."

"If I'm not mistaken, Option 3 should involve replacing the palladium element and upgrading the reactor, right?"

Roy nodded. "That's right, option 3 is to replace the palladium element."

"But I've tried all the elements, and there's no element on Earth that can replace palladium."

Tony frowned.

Just because a known element doesn't work doesn't mean a new element won't work.

"You're so smart, you could try synthesizing a completely new element to replace palladium."

Roy said with a smile.

Tony frowned even more deeply and quickly said, "Do you know how difficult it is to synthesize a new element?"

"It's difficult, but I believe you can do it."

"By the way, did you know that your father was one of the co-founders of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Roy said to Tony.

Hearing him mention his father, Tony asked, puzzled, "What does this have to do with my father?"

"Of course it's related."

"Your father had already discovered a new element before he died."

"Unfortunately, the technology of that era did not support his synthesis of the new elements he discovered."

"His greatest creation will always be you."

"He left you the key to the future. Go to S.H.I.E.L.D. and retrieve his belongings."

"If they refuse to give it to you, just say that I sent you."

"After synthesizing the new element, don't forget to update my Mark 3's energy system."

"Alright, I've said everything I needed to say. Give me the optimized physical enhancement potion; I'm heading back to New York."

Roy said to Tony.

Rather than doing nothing and letting Nick Fury tell Tony this information, it's better for him to do it himself.

"How do you know all this?"

Tony looked at Roy with a puzzled expression.

"I have my own channels."

I won't go into the specific channels.

Roy replied.

Tony glanced at him, didn't ask any further questions, and turned to give instructions to the robot assistant, Benben.

Benben was his college graduation project and the first artificial intelligence robot he created.

Although Benben isn't as smart as Jarvis, he's far more experienced than Jarvis.

"Benben, bring me the box containing the physical enhancement potion."

After instructing Benben, Tony said to Roy, "After this medicine was optimized, it doesn't need to be nebulized; it can be injected directly."

"There are two in the box, I'll prepare one for you too."

"After Gwen's injection, significant enhancement can be achieved."

"As for how much enhancement you will get after the injection, I can't say for sure, but I can say for sure it won't be much."

Roy nodded.

Upon receiving Tony's command, the mechanical arm-shaped, but less intelligent than Jarvis, clumsy picked up the black box containing the performance-enhancing serum and slowly approached him.

He took the box from Benben without hesitation, immediately used his Flying Thor ability, and vanished from Tony's sight, returning to his villa on the Upper East Side of New York.
