Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Controllable Miniature Cold Fusion
Adam Wayne had no idea what had happened to Tony Stark in the Arabic countries.
He only knew one thing—someone like Tony Stark, blessed with ridiculous luck, wouldn't die so easily.
With nothing better to do and his father out on another crime-fighting mission, Adam returned to his lab.
After all, he had just gained the blueprint for the steel battle suit technology from Tony Stark.
The thought alone made him restless.
Who wouldn't want their own steel suit?
Now that he had the tools to build one, he wasn't going to waste any time.
"Skynet, create a new project file. Codename: Mark V."
"File created. Please specify project details."
Adam grinned, his mind already racing through the design.
"The suit will be divided into two systems—energy and armor."
He paused, carefully sorting through the flood of information in his head.
No matter how you looked at it, Tony Stark was a goddamn genius.
The man had managed to create technology so advanced that it might as well have been magic.
Take the armor's defense system, for example.
It wasn't just about blocking bullets—it could withstand explosions and tank shells.
The real challenge, though, wasn't the armor itself. It was the impact force.
Even if the suit could stop a tank shell, the shockwave alone could turn the person inside into jelly.
Yet Tony had solved that problem with engineering that felt downright alien.
And that wasn't even the most impressive part.
The suit's acceleration dampeners, repulsor weapons, miniature cold fusion reactor, and propulsion systems were all bleeding-edge tech.
Adam didn't need to design them from scratch—he already had the schematics, thanks to the system.
Still, piecing it all together wasn't easy.
"Skynet, load the energy system file. Focus on the cold fusion Arc Reactor."
"Loading file… complete."
Adam leaned closer to the holographic display as the schematics unfolded.
If there was one piece of technology that defined Tony Stark's suit, it was the Arc Reactor.
A miniature cold fusion reactor the size of a fist, capable of generating enough energy to power a small city.
To put it bluntly, this wasn't just revolutionary—it was a complete leap forward in human technology.
A handful of these reactors could power an entire country, replacing fossil fuels and nuclear plants overnight.
And it didn't stop there.
The reactor could be used in spaceships, submarines, weapons—you name it.
As far as Adam was concerned, the Arc Reactor was worth more than the suit itself.
But building one was easier said than done.
Sure, Tony had slapped one together in a cave with scraps, but as someone in the movie pointed out—that was Tony Stark.
The man was practically cheating at life.
Sometimes, Adam wondered if Tony had a hidden superpower.
Shaking the thought away, Adam turned back to work.
"Skynet, order several tons of palladium."
"Order confirmed."
Palladium was essential for the reactor's construction.
Expensive, sure—but nowhere near as costly as gold.
And for the heir to the Wayne fortune, it was pocket change.
As for the upgraded elements Tony used later to replace palladium, Adam wasn't concerned.
Tony's palladium poisoning had only happened because he shoved the damn reactor into his chest.
Adam had no intention of doing something that stupid.
War Machine, for example, used palladium-based reactors without any issues.
It was cheap, efficient, and more than enough for his needs.
Besides, Adam wasn't planning to fly around in one suit like Tony.
No, he was thinking bigger.
Unlike Tony's flashy style, Adam preferred working behind the scenes.
A custom-made suit? Sure, he'd build one for himself.
But his real plan was to develop an army of drones—an unstoppable fleet of mechanical soldiers, controlled by Skynet.
By the time alien warlords like Thanos showed up, Adam wouldn't need to fight personally.
He'd just drown them in waves of steel.
The thought brought a grin to his face.
"Skynet, establish a production line for miniature cold fusion reactors."
"Also, secure a location in Africa to build a secret factory."
"Understood."
With Skynet handling the logistics, Adam's job was much easier.
"Mark this project as top secret. No one else gets access."
"Activate the lab's fabrication tools. Prepare for initial assembly."
"Also, place an order for a five-axis simultaneous processing machine from Wayne Enterprises."
"Order confirmed."
Adam stood back as the lab came alive with activity.
Monitors displayed blueprints and simulations while drones began organizing materials.
The holographic projection of the Arc Reactor hovered in the air, glowing softly as data streamed across its surface.
"Let's get to work," Adam muttered, rolling up his sleeves.
The first step was to design the magnetic confinement system for the reactor.
Tony had managed to build his in a cave with primitive tools, but Adam had the advantage of advanced machinery and artificial intelligence.
He wasn't going to settle for a replica.
He wanted something better.
"Skynet, load the design for the magnetic confinement system."
"File loaded."
The hologram shifted, displaying a complex web of magnetic coils and containment fields.
Adam reached out, manipulating the projection with practiced ease.
He adjusted parameters, fine-tuned the energy output, and ran simulations to test stability.
Thanks to the enhancements provided by the system, this version of the Arc Reactor would be far more efficient than Tony's.
Higher output, longer lifespan, and safer operation.
It wouldn't just power a suit—it could power entire cities.
As the hologram continued to spin, Adam's lips curled into a smirk.
The future wasn't coming.
He was building it.
