"Wang Jin is dedicated to martial arts, so his combat skills are stronger than yours. There's nothing shameful about that. Your talent in weapons development is unmatched—this Mark III is the best proof!"
"You're all family; there's no need to insist on comparing who's better. As the elder, you should be more humble and magnanimous."
Chen Mo looked at Tony and earnestly lectured him.
"Dad, I was wrong!"
Tony Stark opened his suit and stepped out. Seeing Chen Mo's serious expression, he genuinely admitted his mistake. He hadn't meant any harm; he just wanted to tease Wang Jin. Even if they had actually fought, he would have been careful not to hurt him.
However, just as Chen Mo had said during the lecture, he was, after all, an elder—Wang Jin's grand-uncle. Bullying a junior was inappropriate, so he readily admitted his fault.
Denial wasn't an option. Seeing that even the Mark III couldn't distract Chen Mo, if he refused to admit his mistake, Chen Mo definitely wouldn't let him off easily. A beating was inevitable, and perhaps even the brand-new Mark III would be dismantled into parts by Chen Mo. Recalling Chen Mo's domineering scene of instantly defeating the Iron Monger, Tony Stark couldn't help but shudder and obediently lowered his head to apologize.
Meanwhile, Wang Jin, the instigator of the incident, stood innocently to the side, not daring to make a sound. After all, his grandmaster was disciplining his grand-uncle. When the big shots clash, he, as a junior, had no right to interrupt; he could only listen quietly.
Seeing Tony Stark's relatively upright attitude, Chen Mo nodded slightly, which eased Tony's anxiety. He had finally escaped a beating.
However, Chen Mo then turned to look at Wang Jin, who was standing off to the side, his eyes fixed on his toes.
"Wang Jin, don't you have a car design? Send it to Tony and have your grandmaster build it for you."
Tony Stark, still relieved at having escaped punishment, nodded eagerly.
"Car design? No problem! That's a piece of cake! Just watch your grandmaster build it for you!"
Tony strode up to Wang Jin, patted him on the shoulder, and said confidently.
Tony Stark was a car enthusiast; he had disassembled and modified all the world's top luxury cars and decades-old classic antiques in his vast garage, significantly improving their performance far beyond that of similar models.
As a peerless genius who created the Iron Man suit, a car design from a recent college graduate was a piece of cake for him.
However, he soon realized he was mistaken.
This was a car? Nonsense! This was a war machine!
A super war machine that surpassed modern technology!
The so-called design drawings were nothing more than concept sketches. Although they included detailed structural designs for each part, many of the technologies involved were simply beyond the reach of current capabilities. This car was purely a concept vehicle that could only exist in the design world.
After receiving Wang Jin's design drawings, Tony Stark carefully analyzed them and discovered that the car was not as simple as he had imagined. While manufacturing it wasn't impossible for him, it would require considerable effort to modify, optimize, and perfect—completely different from what he had envisioned when he readily agreed.
His original plan was to make slight improvements to the design and then hand it over to Stark Industries for manufacturing. However, it now seemed he had to take matters into his own hands.
But since he had already agreed in front of Chen Mo, there was no going back; he had no choice but to manufacture it.
Initially, the design drawings, which were merely hypothetical, needed to be refined and modified according to the actual situation. This process also required the participation of Wang Jin, the designer.
Thus, Tony Stark's villa gained another permanent resident. With the completion of the Mark III's construction, Tony, Dr. Ethan, and Wang Jin joined forces to develop this super vehicle.
Chen Mo only initially offered his opinions on design modifications and provided crucial high-tech support. The technologies the vehicle needed but lacked at the time could all be found in Hydra and Wakanda's technology databases.
After that, Chen Mo became a hands-off manager, completely entrusting the vehicle's development to Tony Stark, Wang Jin, and Ethan, while he focused his energy on researching the Mark III.
Previously, when Tony Stark was developing the laser-guided tracking rapid deployment system, Chen Mo was busy implementing the African unification plan and hadn't participated in the research. Now that he was back, he directly accessed all the Mark III's blueprints and data through J.A.R.V.I.S. and began studying it from scratch.
The more Chen Mo studied it, the more he felt Tony Stark's terrifying talent. The laser-guided tracking rapid deployment system involved too many aspects and was extremely complex. The transformation mechanism from a metal canister into a semi-enclosed suit of armor, ultimately completely enveloping the user, was intricate and significantly impacted the suit's transmission and weapon systems.
Yet, Tony Stark was able to design this entire system in a short time and balance its relationship with other systems in the suit, ensuring stable operation.
It was undeniable that Tony Stark was a peerless genius in weaponry and mechanics.
The development speed of Wang Jin's super vehicle also proved this.
Based on Wang Jin's initial concept design drawings and Chen Mo's suggestions, Tony Stark redesigned the vehicle and manufactured all the parts through Stark Industries. He personally oversaw the production of some key components, and it quickly entered the assembly stage.
Meanwhile, the situation in Africa was gradually evolving.
Previously, Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D. took advantage of the chaos following Wakanda's warlord decapitation operation—which left various forces leaderless and governments in disarray—to launch a joint operation and completely take control of the governments and armies of African countries. All of this was done in secret, while on the surface, the governments of African countries still appeared to control their nations.
Subsequently, during this rare period of relative calm amidst the warlord conflicts, various countries spontaneously launched relief operations, which quickly evolved into a joint relief effort across Africa.
Wakanda's name spread rapidly throughout the continent as a result of this joint relief effort.
Huge aircraft emblazoned with black panthers brought precious food, fresh water, and abundant survival supplies to refugees suffering from war and famine, saving them from the threat of death.
