Chapter 15 - Fuel Cells

After Andy left, Tony Stark sat quietly on the sofa, looking at the concept diagram of the Energy Device Andy had left on the computer.

It must be said that there was a real reason why Tony Stark was called a World-class scientist.

Without the aid of virtual projection, he used the concept diagram of the Energy Device left by Andy to build a data model in his brain, step by step calculating the feasibility of the Energy Device.

Starting from the initial electrolytic substances, Tony substituted every reactive chemical element and simulated experiments in his brain.

However, these reactions were either inefficient or too violent and prone to explosions; none could be used as an energy source.

Thinking of the cold fusion reactor he had built under Stark Industries, Tony Stark enlarged and combined this palm-sized Energy Device.

The cold fusion reactor and the Energy Device model perfectly combined in his brain.

In Tony Stark's simulation, he discovered that the Energy Device actually significantly improved the energy conversion of the cold fusion reactor. He was surprised and hurriedly called his intelligent butler.

"Jarvis, combine the conceptual model of the Energy Device on the computer with the cold fusion reactor under Stark Industries and simulate its operation."

As soon as he finished speaking,

the computer in front of Tony Stark automatically switched to a special interface, and the Energy Device and the cold fusion reactor began to move, combining for simulation.

In the simulation animation, the energy generated by the cold fusion reactor was amplified to twice its original amount after passing through the Energy Device.

Tony Stark's simulated experiment in his brain was confirmed.

This made him feel a bitter taste; this was not asking him for advice on energy problems, this was simply showing him his research achievements in the field of energy.

Tony Stark, though struck by Andy's Energy Device, was not discouraged; instead, his fighting spirit soared.

He was the top scientist in the World, unlike Andy, who was well-known for mastering biotechnology; he stood at the pinnacle in many fields.

He was involved in many scientific research areas, and with his personality, he either did not do something or did it to the best of his ability, which is why many of Stark Industries' products were developed under his leadership.

The Energy Device Andy gave him, in his opinion, was a signal, a provocation to him.

Tony Stark was not averse to this provocation; on the contrary, he enjoyed the feeling of competing with others.

Standing at the top of the scientific community for many years made him feel very lonely.

Previously, Andy had focused on biotechnology, and he had only briefly understood some related knowledge before no longer paying attention.

In Tony Stark's view, Andy's research in biotechnology had reached the World's top level, truly standing at the pinnacle of biotechnology.

And now,

Andy had challenged him with the Energy Device, and he would never shy away.

He enjoyed competition, only in fierce competition,

would sparks of thought constantly flash, and inspiration would gush like a spring.

After having Jarvis back up the Energy Device, Tony Stark began to rethink Andy's energy problem.

Since existing electrolytic substances could not meet the standard, the energy could only be burned.

Only through thorough combustion could it be converted into sufficient energy for power supply through the Energy Device.

Tony Stark compared various options and targeted aerospace fuel.

With Jarvis's assistance,

it only took a few days to construct a new molecular structure model.

This was an improvement on existing aviation fuel, converting liquid aviation fuel into a solid form. In this new molecular state, the combustion efficiency of aviation fuel was three times that of its original state.

And for the same mass, the energy provided by the new molecular solid fuel was ten times that of liquid fuel. Hundreds of liters of aviation fuel, after being converted into new molecular solid fuel, weighed only a few kilograms.

After constructing the new molecular model, Tony Stark relaxed and fell onto the bed, deeply asleep.

It had been a long time since he had stayed up all night researching something like this.

Normally,

he researched Military missiles, and under normal circumstances, he could solve problems using his previous reserve of technology. Even if the Military had special requirements, it was only a matter of hours for him.

Tony Stark left Los Angeles; he took his private jet back to New York, returning to Stark Industries.

Before leaving,

he sent Andy a model of a fuel cell made with the new molecular solid fuel.

Although the new molecular solid fuel was a significant discovery, just like the Energy Device model Andy gave him, he didn't care about it at all.

The new molecular solid fuel was not created out of thin air but was concentrated and converted from original aviation fuel.

Although the combustion efficiency of solid fuel was greatly improved, its cost was several times higher because it required a large amount of equipment, instruments, and aviation fuel.

Therefore, this technology could only serve as a technical reserve and could not be put into use.

Only super-rich individuals like him could afford to use it as a toy; others simply could not sustain it.

Looking at the fuel cell model on the computer, Andy was somewhat surprised.

Tony Stark had actually completed it in just a few days. This was not the reactor under Stark Industries; besides the Energy Device, Andy had not given him any other energy source.

Yet, in just a few days, he had developed a portable energy source; this fuel cell could burn continuously for a thousand hours.

Combining it with the Energy Device, it could provide ample energy with the Energy Device's amplification.

However,

when Andy saw the new molecular solid fuel used in the fuel cell, he smiled bitterly in helplessness.

Tony Stark had actually converted aviation fuel into concentrated solid fuel.

Although the new molecular structure made the fuel burn more efficiently, the amount of aviation fuel required for one fuel cell was enough to allow a small aircraft to fly for tens of kilometers in the air.

After the computer simulation ended, the Orokin System reacted.

The new molecular fuel was detected by the system, allowing Andy to successfully unlock two chemical technologies: Ignis Ampoule and Ignis Launcher.

Though called two technologies, the Ignis Launcher was essentially the weaponized form of the Ignis Ampoule.

However, what Andy found most regrettable was that the system did not unlock the Magnetism Field Device technology as well.

The Magnetism Field Device was a good thing.

It could use an energy field to control high-thermal energy substances for weaponization.

Energy weapons created using the Magnetism Field Device could be used in both long-range shooting and close-quarters combat.

And most importantly, it could also be used to create a series of protective devices like Energy Shields.

Whether for offense or defense, the uses and scope of the Magnetism Field Device were much broader than those of the Ignis Launcher.

The Ignis Launcher, however, was far inferior.

Unless one planned to develop Military industries and sell at a loss, this item had almost no practical value.

Because the Ignis Launcher had only two applications: either as a jet propulsion device or in explosive weapons; it could not escape being a Military weapon.

Moreover, weapons manufactured using the Ignis Launcher also required specialized ammunition.

Equipment with such sky-high costs would simply not be purchased by the Military.

Of course, Andy was still very willing to accept such unexpectedly acquired technical knowledge.

While it could not be converted into marketable economic products, it could serve as a technical reserve. What if one day a jet propulsion device or explosive weapon was needed? It would come in handy then, wouldn't it?
