Chapter 76: Chapter: 76
After Mark rode the superconducting magnetic levitation bicycle out of the cabin, he lost all assistance from flying vehicles. Using a scientific method known as free fall, he began harnessing the power of gravity, converting gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy.
However, this motion process, which we learned in middle school physics, didn't last long. Mark sat steadily on the bike saddle, released his grip on the handlebars with his right hand, and lightly tapped his intelligent wristwatch on his left wrist.
Soon, the previously inconspicuous bicycle wheel discs emitted a deep blue glow, resembling that of an arc reactor, and as time passed, the glow dimmed while the wheel's rotational speed increased.
As the rapidly spinning discs reached a critical threshold, a conical cloud formed around them, and a sight usually seen on supersonic aircraft.
This was because when the speed of a fighter jet approached the speed of sound, it gradually caught up with the sound waves it emitted, causing the surrounding air to experience high pressure due to the overlapping of the waves.
When a fighter jet breaks through the sound barrier, the immense pressure that has accumulated in front of the aircraft instantly vanishes, causing a sudden decrease in pressure and a rapid drop in the condensation temperature of water vapor in the air.
As a result, water vapors immediately condense into small water droplets, appearing like a cloud of mist. Overall, it resembles a conical cloud expanding uniformly in all directions from the center axis of the aircraft.
The principle behind Mark's bicycle was similar. The new technology he added to the wheel discs was heat phase transfer. By utilizing a heat phase transfer device to perform negative heat transfer on the graphene superconductor within the wheel discs, it could transform the originally unstable room temperature superconductor into a more stable low-temperature superconductor. This allowed the wheel discs to exceed the speed limit of 300 kilometers per hour and break the sound barrier.
After breaking the sound barrier, the formed conical cloud was absorbed by the collection device on the bike frame. Under the positive heat transfer action of the heat phase transfer device, it was heated and transformed into high-pressure steam with a temperature exceeding 1000 degrees Celsius.
These high-pressure steam jets were expelled through pressure relief valves, providing the bicycle with a balancing force against gravity, allowing it to ride steadily in mid-air.
As Mark descended continuously, nearing the main stage, he reversed the effect of the heat phase transfer device. This caused the low-temperature liquid sprayed out to form a runway composed entirely of ice crystals between the air and the stage. The bike smoothly glided down the runway, and finally, Mark concluded with a stylish maneuver, braking sharply and spinning the bike's rear tire. He took off his helmet and goggles, facing the tens of thousands of audience members present, and greeted them, saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the grand opening ceremony of the Stark Expo tonight. I am the opening host, Mark Stark!"
As Mark introduced himself, the audience below erupted in enthusiastic applause. After all, in the past six months, Mark had undoubtedly been one of the most prominent figures in the world, second only to Tony Stark, the Iron Man, who had revealed his identity.
The various inventions and products that come from his hands have attracted a large number of loyal customers and individual fans. At the same time, these products have earned Mark a good reputation as they sell well.
After all, whether it is a personal health assistant or virtual reality technology, their applications in medicine have vast prospects. Therefore, Mark's research center has also taken the lead in collaborating with several globally renowned medical institutions to launch many medical public welfare projects, achieving both fame and fortune.
What's even more intriguing for the gossiping masses is that the Stark family is a trio of heroes. Both the grandfather, father and son have made significant contributions in the business and academic worlds. And Tony and Mark can be considered as surpassing their predecessors.
However, tonight's main focus is not on Mark. After raising his hand to signal the audience not to get too excited, Mark began to set the stage for Tony's entrance.
"Although I appeared first today, I am not the one you all have been eagerly waiting for tonight. The most anticipated figure and the shining star of the evening is none other than my old man, Tony Stark. If you don't want to miss any details of his entrance, just look up because he will also descend from the sky to the stage!"
Upon hearing Mark's words, the audience indeed raised their heads and looked towards the night-covered sky. They saw a streak of fire with a long tail rapidly approaching them. Bang!
Before the entire audience could react, the streak of fire had already landed on the stage. With his left hand supporting him and one knee on the ground, Tony slowly stood up, spread his arms, and at the same time, a burst of fireworks erupted from the entire stage, illuminating it in a magnificent golden light.
The emotionally stirred audience shouted at the top of their lungs, adding the final touch to Tony's entrance.
Amidst the applause from the audience, several mechanical arms rose on the stage, assisting Tony in removing the Mark IV armor he was wearing. Tony appeared in front of the audience dressed in a suit, and at that moment, Mark, who had changed his clothes on the side, made another appearance, standing beside Tony. The father and son bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle, expressing their welcome to the entire audience.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's great to be back! Haha, you must be eager to see me blow something up, right? What should I blow up?
I wouldn't say that the world has been able to maintain long-term peace all these years because of me. I wouldn't say that no one in the world has risen from the ashes like a phoenix reborn, and I wouldn't say that our government can remain calm because I always stay at the pinnacle and no one dares to challenge me!"
Tony's pretentious speech was met with continuous applause and cheers from the audience. Some spectators even shouted that Mark, who was standing next to him, kept rolling his eyes. He had seen shameless people, but he had never seen anyone as shameless as him. At least half of that military merit badge belongs to me!
Well, these father and son are equally shameless.
"But all of that doesn't matter. What matters is inheritance!" Tony finally shifted the focus of his speech. "What should we leave for future generations? That's a question I have been contemplating lately. Therefore, starting next year, for the first time since 1974, the world's finest talents from different countries and companies will contribute their resources, share their common vision, and create a better future.
In short, what I want to say is - Welcome to the Stark Expo!"
