Chapter 140 - Chapter 140: Technical Upgrades

The name of S.H.I.E.L.D. was established, and Osborn took on many of the construction tasks.

For example, the issue of the Base.

S.H.I.E.L.D. used Helicarriers as a command Base, so Harry also had to carefully consider the equipment for Hammer.

They cruise in sub-orbit, so Hammer must be higher than them; they want to use Earth technology, so Hammer will use alien technology.

In the Alien Materials Research Center, Adrian's team was diligently conducting research.

There is a lot of technology worth learning from these Chitauri, and after several months of research, initial results have been achieved.

The most interesting of these is the engine of the leviathan ship; these ships, which look like whales on the outside, also move like whales when flying, which looks quite peculiar.

"According to our research, these biological ships use a completely different type of technology. First is their engine—I don't think it can even be called an engine; their design philosophy in this regard is quite different from ours. Attached to the fins of these 'big whales' are force field generators."

"The force fields they generate interact with the surrounding entities to produce propulsion, looking just like a whale swimming in the ocean."

Phineas Mason explained the principle of this force field generator to Harry.

After listening, Harry commented: "Advanced technology, old-fashioned design philosophy."

In fact, it's not just the Chitauri; most high-tech races in this World retain this line of thinking, and I'll specifically name Wakanda here.

Harry suspected that their technology was all dug out of the ground, which is why they couldn't get rid of cold weapon thinking in their designs.

Phineas continued to show his designs.

Using this technology, Phineas designed a repulsive thruster prototype. The magnetic field generated by this thruster interacts with the Earth's magnetic field, allowing it to fly over the Earth's surface without the need to carry propellant.

However, as the Earth's magnetic field weakens, the repulsive force provided per unit of energy gradually diminishes.

In the original work, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s upgraded Helicarrier seems to use this technology, and S.H.I.E.L.D. can use this engine to design their own Helicarriers and fighter jets.

"Not bad, I like this design. S.H.I.E.L.D. will need an aerial command center." Harry noted down these designs.

This type of force field generator might also be used for other things, such as energy shields.

Besides the engine, the materials and design of the leviathan ship are also worth examining. Phineas used the technology from the Alien Materials Research Center to reverse-engineer these technologies. The bionic structures and the Chitauri's neural connectors are quite good and can be applied to exoskeleton designs.

Phineas continued to introduce these alien technologies: "Then there is this armor; this composite material has a high degree of compatibility with biological organisms."

"The ratio for these materials has been determined, but to synthesize them, it is best to do so in a microgravity environment."

This is not surprising, because the Chitauri are actually a race that wanders in space. Judging from the movie, the place where Thanos stays doesn't look like it has normal gravity either.

Harry nodded. They were also researching microgravity smelting. Osborn's prosthetics could be upgraded again, and Abomination could also upgrade his armor.

"Finally, these neural connectors. I don't understand what they use to transmit information. There are no signal transmitters or receivers on them; most of the design is for stimulating nerves."

The technology used in the neural connectors was something even Phineas couldn't quite understand.

But Harry understood, because these connectors didn't use scientific means to link the Chitauri into a battle group, but rather through consciousness—which is very similar to psionic energy.

Picking up a replica of a neural connector, Harry said: "I'll take a look at this myself. Is there anything else?"

Phineas raised his hand and said: "Basically that's it. As for weapon technology, I've already shown it to you: high-energy lasers, plasma weapons, Gauss weapons. That's all, Boss."

These items have already been verified. The weapons have been approved by Frank, and the civilian equipment has also been verified through asteroid mining missions.

The Chitauri's equipment isn't exactly advanced; there's no more groundbreaking technology.

After thinking for a moment, Harry decided to give Phineas some work.

"The work has been done well. Now let's talk about the next thing. I want you to design a heavy armored unit for the battlefield."

Phineas was stunned when he heard this, thinking to himself that he was just a scavenger, so how did he end up on the path of weapon design?

But Harry didn't care about his reaction; he was set up to have this ability, and it would be a pity not to use it for this work.

"Did you see the news about the attack on the President?" Harry turned on the holographic projection.

"No." Phineas shook his head.

Harry was stunned for a moment, thinking that Mr. Tinkerer was too dedicated; he didn't even watch the news about such a big event?

"In short, Osborn now has the ability to airdrop soldiers from sub-orbit. I want to expand on this advantage and design a heavy unit that can be airdropped."

In fact, the disadvantage of lacking heavy firepower was evident in the Battle of New York. To deal with one leviathan ship, Frank's team needed to consume more than a dozen missiles. This rate of consumption makes it impossible to fight a protracted war.

But if there were firepower cover equipped with high-power laser cannons or super plasma cannons, these leviathan ships would be easy to handle.

Phineas lifted his goggles and watched the video Harry was playing with great interest; this was first-hand combat footage from the Battle of New York.

In past battlefields, tanks played this role, but with the development of anti-tank weapons and the air force, tanks have gradually become moving targets. Moreover, tanks have high requirements for terrain, and these heavy units need to have all-terrain combat capabilities.

"How about we design it as a humanoid robot? I like giant robots," Phineas said.

"If you think it's appropriate, of course. I only have a few requirements: carry heavy firepower, move quickly, be feature-rich, and have all-terrain combat capabilities."

"That's not hard to do. I'll go back and think about it."

Harry would be responsible for designing drones to cooperate with airborne troops and provide air support, as well as the development of energy shields—though he might have to consult Dr. Otto for that part.

S.H.I.E.L.D. is at most a bunch of Agents fumbling around. Harry wants S.H.I.E.L.D. to be able to deploy to any corner of the ground within a few hours, not just soldiers, but also heavy units and air support.

After finishing his conversation with Phineas, Harry walked to another building in the Osborn complex, where the bodies of the Chitauri were kept. Harry had not yet found the time to study these things.

Compared to the biological structure of the Chitauri, Harry was more interested in the leviathan ship. Now it was time to see what this thing could bring.
