Chapter 1438 The Battle for Dragon Ball Begins

Nisha wanted to say something else, but Big Makinos had made up his mind. He would leave the matter to his trusted men. Apart from his trusted men, he did not trust anyone else.

"I understand, Father."

Nisha had no choice but to surrender.

Meanwhile, Hammer Industries.

Ivan Vanko looked at the three more spots of light on his radar.

"Dragon Ball!"

Ivan Vanko was originally preparing his own steel armor. In his private workshop, the assembly of the steel armor was proceeding in an orderly manner.

There are all kinds of tools and parts scattered around, from precision screwdrivers to bulky wrenches, each of which carries his persistent pursuit of technology.

Unlike his peers who rely on high-tech automated equipment, Ivan enjoys the process of tightening each screw with a wrench by hand. Although those sophisticated mechanical aids can complete the task efficiently, they are far inferior to the primitive and indescribable satisfaction brought by tightening each screw with a large wrench by hand.

In order to obtain the Dragon Balls, he specially thickened his steel armor. After all, Justin Hammer couldn't get any good materials.

However, the main material is not gold-titanium alloy, but silicon carbide fiber reinforced titanium-based composite material. This composite material is a perfect fusion of technology and nature.

Titanium's lightweight and high-strength properties make it a favorite in the aerospace field, and the addition of silicon carbide gives it extraordinary high-temperature resistance and oxidation resistance, making it an ideal choice for manufacturing high thrust-to-weight ratio engines, rocket nozzles and other working parts in extreme high-temperature environments.

In Ivan's design, silicon carbide fiber reinforced titanium-based composite materials are carefully arranged in key parts of the armor, such as the chest reactor shield, limb joints, and cooling fins of the back propulsion system.

The reinforcement of these parts not only greatly improves the overall performance and durability of the armor, but also enables Ivan to maintain the integrity and functional stability of the armor when facing high temperature environments or strong external force impacts.

Then there are aluminum-based and magnesium-based composites, which are renowned in the aerospace and military industries for their high specific strength and specific modulus, as well as excellent electrical and thermal conductivity.

Ivan chose carbon fiber reinforced aluminum-based or magnesium-based composites to construct the non-load-bearing parts of the armor, such as the hull and certain auxiliary systems.

This design not only reduces the overall weight, but also ensures sufficient strength and toughness, allowing the armor to reach new heights in flexibility and maneuverability.

Although titanium alloys and composite materials are increasingly used in the aviation industry, no advanced composite material can completely replace the role of traditional metals in certain specific occasions.

Ultra-high-strength steel is a material that can maintain high strength and toughness under extreme conditions. It is irreplaceable especially in extreme application cases such as aircraft landing gear and solid rocket engine casings.

He used it in parts of the armor that needed to withstand great impact and pressure.

Ivan used these ultra-high-strength steels for the armor's leg support structure, waist rotation axis, and arm grabbing mechanism to ensure that the armor's structural integrity and crew safety are not affected during high-speed movement or fierce combat.

Nickel-based alloys are world-renowned for their excellent high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, and are often used to manufacture key components in extreme environments such as aircraft engine blades and nuclear reactor components.

For Ivan, the unique value of nickel-based alloy lies in its ability to withstand extremely high electric currents without deformation, a property that exactly meets his needs for designing an electric whip.

The electric whip, as the secret weapon of Ivan's steel armor, is a carefully designed energy conversion device at its core. It absorbs energy directly from the Ark reactor built into the armor, converts this energy into electrical energy efficiently through a sophisticated rotor system, and releases it through two metal whips made of nickel-based alloy. When Ivan activates the electric whip, they will instantly flash a dazzling arc, with an output voltage of up to 100,000 volts or more, and a current intensity of thousands of amperes or more, enough to penetrate most known materials, and even heavy armor is difficult to resist.

Ivan Vanko assembled his own Whiplash armor, and after putting it on, he easily hacked into Justin Hammer's secure network.

The codes on the screen scrolled like running water, finally stopping at camera icons.

A sneer appeared on his lips, and with a light tap of his finger, the eyes that were originally watching him were instantly replaced by a carefully prepared video.

In the video, Ivan was working at a workbench, concentrating on debugging a certain device. In the monitoring room, several security guards were sitting lazily in front of the screen, occasionally looking up to glance at the unchanging images, and then immersed themselves in their own world again.

They were already accustomed to Ivan's "diligence".

Ivan Vanko also made a Dragon Ball Radar and installed it on the Whip Armor. At this time, Ivan Vanko locked onto the nearest Dragon Ball.

In the center of New Jersey City, skyscrapers stand in rows, and prosperity and hustle and bustle are intertwined to form a picture of a modern city.

At the top of this steel forest, the headquarters building of Xingui Real Estate stands proudly like a solitary peak. The top floor office is spacious and luxurious, decorated with modern and luxurious furniture and artworks.

From the floor-to-ceiling windows, the entire city is in sight, as if the whole world is at your feet.

Deacon Fiss, the owner of Upstart Real Estate, was standing in his spacious office, overlooking every corner of the city through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

"Soon, the time will come when vampires will be superior to humans."

Deaconfers is ambitious. He has sent his men to search for the whereabouts of the Dragon Ball. He believes that anyone who obtains the Dragon Ball will realize its incredible wish-granting ability.

Out of selfishness or fear, they would not easily reveal the fact that they possessed the Dragon Balls, but this did not mean that there would be no traces at all.

Because in order to collect all seven dragon balls and realize their ultimate wish, they must find other dragon balls.

As long as they do this, they will leave clues and become the target of Deacon Firth.

But he didn't know that he had become someone else's target.

Ivan Vanko locked onto the office below. Without hesitation, he drove his steel armor through the high-strength ultraviolet-filtering protective glass.

The huge impact force shook the entire office, and glass fragments flew everywhere, as if a sudden storm had struck.

Before Dickenfels could react, Ivan Vanko grabbed him through the French window.

He widened his eyes in horror as he looked at the two-meter-tall metal giant, his heart filled with fear and confusion.
