The construction of the Tadis was not as smooth as everyone had imagined,
In order to ensure the safety of Harry,
Hermione's pursuit of perfection in every detail was one thing, but what was more difficult was finding a suitable shell construction material. Although Harry's drawings did not have a power unit,
However, the twins and Peter still made an imitation of the jet flight backpack to supplement it, because they needed to test the performance of the outer shell. However, the first few test flights were not satisfactory.
Harry had seen their test run once. It was in the dead of night after everyone else in the laboratory had left. He saw the half-finished Tadis, which had not been painted yet, rise into the air with flames spurting out from its four corners,
Then it spun wildly in mid-air,
To the naked eye, it almost looked like a metal-colored shadow,
Harry did not understand what this meant at all.
Hank explained, "We installed a high-speed rotation device for it to test the inertial mass of the shell."
Harry still didn't quite understand,
But the twins were obviously in their element in the laboratory. Both of them were wearing small white coats, and one of them was staring at the computer screen without blinking,
The other flipped through the analysis report and said to Harry, "Heat resistance, corrosion resistance, low-temperature resistance... almost all of them can be satisfied,
But according to Hermione's requirements, I'm afraid the titanium alloy we're currently using is far from enough in strength and density... "
Harry listened, and suddenly his expression became very strange, "Are you using titanium alloy to make Tadis?" That kind of processing is very difficult,
Aerospace materials that are expensive?
Peter turned his head strangely, "What else can be used to make your... um, time machine other than titanium alloy?"
Indeed,
Although the Tadis of Curry Planet looked like they were made of wood,
After all, their space-time shields were not.
No matter how powerful Hank and the others were, they did not have the technology of the Time Lord,
Therefore, they could only repeatedly adjust the formula of the alloy and strive to forge a lighter and stronger material. But in this way, Harry flipped through the calendar and thought that he might not be able to set off in this cycle.
Although he knew that Christmas would continue to come, Harry, who had a special attachment to Christmas, personally went to the store to pick a Christmas tree that was neither too big nor too small, just enough to be placed in the living room. He then asked Scott to help transport it back. He also asked the store owner to sell him a bunch of Christmas cards and wrapping paper at a 20% discount.
When Scott helped him move the Christmas tree, he saw the pile of colorful little things and couldn't help but laugh. "You're not going to use this kind of small card to brush us off, are you?"
"Of course not." Harry shrugged. "You don't have a share of these cards."
Scott shrugged. "I don't care. But … remember to prepare a Christmas gift for Laura. You know, things that girls like. She still doesn't have many friends. I'm afraid that if she receives a lot of gifts, she'll feel disappointed. "
Harry nodded and laughed. "You can accept the pursuit of the old wolf and give yourself to the young wolf."
Scott told Harry to get lost, then turned around and got on Logan's broken motorcycle to leave. Before he left, he reminded Harry, "I think Charles and Erik seem to be secretly investigating something these days. You'd better prepare how to explain it to them."
Charles should also be moving. Harry was originally waiting for Charles to ask him, but with the Oulopolos' interruption, some of the things that were originally planned were put on hold.
Snape looked at Harry, who was humming while hanging small bells and stars on the Christmas tree. He vaguely remembered that it was less than a week before Christmas. No wonder this kid suddenly gave him a funny sweater a few days ago.
There were also some gold foil printed wrapping paper and unwrapped gifts piled on the coffee table. It seemed that Harry was hell-bent on having a good Christmas. Snape casually flipped through the gifts and saw that the box labeled "Ron" contained a set of comics. The box labeled "Drac" contained a French version of "The Little Prince" … Almost everyone's gifts were books. Only the box labeled "Hermione" contained a copy of "Beauty and the Beast" and an exquisite bracelet.
"I thought Miss Know-It-All didn't like these flashy decorations." Snape picked up the box containing the bracelet and suddenly remembered Potter's first Valentine's Day after school. He was teased by the Weisles twins and then kissed with Granger outside the cellar.
Harry turned around in surprise and walked to Snape. He looked at the bracelet and asked, "Is it flashy? I picked it for a long time! "
Actually, it wasn't. It was just a very simple silver chain. Two thin chains were twisted together like a flower branch. On one side of the chain, there were two or three rose buds. The biggest bud was only the size of a dewdrop, half-covering a white pearl. On the other side, there was a small leaf. The leaf was engraved with the initials of Hermione and Granger.
From a boy's point of view, it was considered quite considerate.
So Snape didn't answer Harry's question. Instead, he emphasized, "It's an ornament. Potter, I remember that Granger is most proud of her brain? "
"Hermione is thirteen years old, Professor." Harry laughed. "For girls, this is an important age to enter the ranks of young girls. You have to treat them like ladies."
"Should I be surprised that you know the minds of young girls so well?" Snape emphasized the word "young girl."
Harry put down the bracelet and sat on Snape. He gently pecked the latter's lips and laughed softly. "I'm not surprised that Professor doesn't know the minds of young girls at all."
Lupin, who had enough of playing in the snow in the yard, saw this scene as soon as he entered the door. He only felt that his wolf eyes were blind.
Every year, Green High School's Christmas masquerade ball was held on Christmas Eve. The scene was as grand as a celebration. Principal Charles would spend two days solemnly preparing, so the whole school was on holiday this Wednesday. Including last weekend, they had a whole week off. However, there were still many students who stayed to help prepare for the ball. After all, it was almost part of the annual Christmas celebration. Not to mention Jean, Qian Huan, and Peter from the school newspaper, the strong Connor, Calder, and the others from the school sports team were sweating wantonly in the winter, setting up a huge shed on the lawn. As the school auditorium could not accommodate so many people, this would be the official venue for the ball.
Harry originally planned to come to the laboratory to look for Hank, but when he passed by the lawn to watch the fun, he was stopped by someone. "Hey, student, come and help blow up the balloons!"
Harry looked at the person and pointed to his nose. "Are you talking to me?"
"I still have to move the box of colored flags here. Can you help me out here first?" Steve Rogers stuffed a bag of balloons in his hand to Harry and then hurried away.
Although he knew that the other party mistakenly thought that he was a member of the student union, Harry still sat there and blew up the balloons — this was an important task entrusted to him by Captain America!
Therefore, before Harry could find Hank, Harry had blown up the balloons all over the ground. His cheeks were numb and there was a rubber taste in his mouth.
Hank was so moved that the corners of his mouth twitched. After thinking for a while, he pointed to something on the ground and said, "Harry, don't you know that balloons can be inflated with a pump?"
Harry: "…"
So the two of them continued to pump up the balloons while the other was responsible for tying the balloons. While waiting for Rogers to come back, they talked about Tadis. It turned out that Hank had called Harry over to watch another trial run. He had found a way to increase the strength of the alloy, which was almost close to the requirements of Hermione's simulation.
"… But this method increases the weight of the metal. The casing is too heavy and reduces its flexibility. We also need to increase the power. Harry, I don't know what you plan to use as its power system …"
Harry frowned. "If only we could find vibranium or adamantium."
Hank also sighed. He had the same idea, but there seemed to be no record of adamantium in this world. T 'Challa was also not the king of Wakanda, so he could not find vibranium.
As they were talking, Rogers came back with a box of colored flags. He happened to hear the last part of their conversation and asked curiously, "What alloy are you talking about?"
Hank and Harry both looked at him in silence. Team America's shield happened to be made of adamantium and vibranium.
Rogers was creeped out by their stares, but he still said enthusiastically, "Are you working on an alloy project? Why don't you ask my friend Mr. Stark? I remember he's working on titanium alloy. "
"Tony Stark?" Harry pressed the pump to the bottom and popped a balloon, so Rogers did not hear his impolite address and continued in a friendly manner. "It's Mr. Stark from the physics team. He's very nice. You can ask him."
Harry doesn't comment on whether Stark's character is good or not, but Iron Man's suit is indeed made of gold titanium alloy. If he is still studying titanium alloy after amnesia, then it is likely that he has his own alloy formula in his hand. Hank and Harry looked at each other, then hurriedly said goodbye to Rogers and ran in the direction of the laboratory.
Hank did not think of asking Stark for advice before. On one hand, he wanted to hide the true use of Tadis to avoid more trouble. On the other hand, Stark and he were not in the same laboratory. Hank's laboratory was mainly to lead outstanding senior students to invent and guide them to participate in competitions. Stark's laboratory was not accessible to ordinary students. It was more like a place for teachers to cooperate with each other and conduct independent research.
Although it was the holidays, the laboratory was not closed yet. Many teachers had not gone home. Harry followed Hank and saw many acquaintances along the way. Since Snape was also one of the members of the laboratory, many people greeted him. Harry also put on a well-behaved look and greeted them one by one. "Hello, Mr. Banner … Hello, Mr. Parmer … Hello, Mr. Vinci …"
When he finally saw Stark, Harry was almost startled. Stark was squatting in an open space, remotely controlling a two-foot-tall robot to walk towards them. The robot's appearance was surprisingly Mark I (friendly reminder: it was actually Mark 1).
The robot walked up to Harry and raised an arm. Stark was still dubbing it. "Bang! Kid, if I put a rocket launcher in Mark's hand, you'd be flying out now!"
Jarvis, who was standing behind him with his arms crossed, smiled and said, "Sir, I won't let you try such dangerous behavior."
Stark shrugged, threw down the remote control, and returned to his desk. He picked up a doughnut and stuffed it into his mouth. Jarvis quietly poured his coffee away.
Harry squatted down and looked at the motionless miniature Iron Man armor. "Mr. Stark, is this robot made of titanium alloy?"
"Titanium alloy?" Stark smiled and turned his chair around. "It's just a toy. Why would I make a toy out of titanium alloy? Although our principal is very rich, he can't afford it, can he?"
Could it be that Rogers's information was wrong? Harry frowned and studied the robot for a while, before he said with certainty, "But Mr. Stark, you've reserved space for Mark to install flamethrowers and other weapons. After all the installations are completed, it can fly. Perhaps Mark doesn't need to fly too high at this size, but if it's enlarged to … well …" Harry sized up Stark. "About 1.75 meters in size. Perhaps titanium alloy would be better?"
"1.8 meters." Stark straightened his face and stood up. He squatted down opposite Harry again, with a two-foot-tall robot between them. "Kid, you have a rich imagination!"
"It's okay." Harry pointed at the various parts on Mark's body. "These conveyor belts shouldn't be exposed, or they'll be easily broken. In that case, your legs won't be able to move."
"I've designed an outer armor that can hide them inside," Stark immediately said. "I've also modified the shape and reduced its weight."
"Great. I'm guessing there were some changes to the color scheme. "
"Gold and red."
"I like it." Harry had always had a good impression of Iron Man. It was hard to say if it wasn't because of his Gryffindor color scheme. "I don't know if you've considered installing a shotgun on your shoulder?"
Stark narrowed his eyes, leaned closer to Harry and whispered, "To be honest, if Jarvis hadn't stopped me, I would've already installed it." Then he stood up and patted Hank on the shoulder. "Hey, man, what did you bring here? A little military fan? "
"No, Mr. Stark …" Hank smiled bitterly. "We're here to ask you some questions about titanium alloy. We're building a kind of aircraft …"
He briefly explained his idea. Stark didn't speak for a while after hearing it. He just pondered.
Hank wasn't sure either. Comparative research was a private matter, and it was very rash to ask for unpublished research results from others.
But after a moment, Stark said, "I do have a copy of the alloy formula you want, but I have two requests. First, I want to participate in the building of your aircraft. Second … "He pointed to Harry." Let this kid talk to me about 'Mark'. "
