With Tony's various operations, the Prince Eugen displayed on the workbench has undergone considerable changes.

First of all, the water and underwater parts of the hull have some fine adjustments, which has become more modern. This adjustment alone makes the ship different from the original Prince Eugen.

Even without considering the factors of black technology, Prince Eugen's design plan during World War II was outdated, and almost all the superstructures were adjusted and optimized by Tony.

What's amazing is that Tony retained Prince Eugen's original characteristics. At first glance, it was still Prince Eugen and not another ship.

"Look at how it is now?"

Ethan was watching from the side all the time. He had no objection to Tony's adjustments. At least in his opinion, these adjustments were very good.

"There will not be any adjustments on the outside, so we need to consider the specific content next... Are you planning to use the Ark Reactor for the power of this ship?"

Ethan initially wanted to use the strange magic stone he found that had almost no decayed energy as energy, but at that time he was not thinking about directly building such a large steel warship. He was very doubtful whether the magic stone had such strong output power.

After telling Tony about the magic stone he found, Tony temporarily set up the Ark Reactor as the main energy source of the warship after asking for research for him for a while.

The Ark Reactor is actually a cold nuclear fusion reactor. In the world Ethan once lived, cold nuclear fusion is just a technology that exists in theory and even fantasy. Many scientists believe that cold nuclear fusion is an impossible technology that can actually appear.

However, in the Marvel world, this technology was successfully researched, manufactured and developed by Stark and his son. It is already a very mature technology. Whether it is output power, stability and service life, there is no problem as the core of a warship's power.

"A cruiser from the World War II era looks like a nuclear-powered inside."

Tony suddenly felt that things didn't seem as boring as he thought, especially Ethan had to install various magical facilities and magic stone equipment on the ship that he had not yet carefully studied.

“Energy barrier?”

Ethan chose naval guns as the main weapon design because the new ship will use energy weapons as the main attack method. Although Tony has decided to make magic modifications on it, he really didn't expect Ethan to install energy shields on this ship.

“And it’s multiple defenses.”

He would not simply design an energy barrier. He would also use magical means to create a magic shield, and at the same time he would also study how to transplant the protective energy on the armor that was close to the body to the warship.

With so many layers of defense, he believed that the defense of his warship would collapse the enemy, and ordinary attacks would probably not even be able to break the outermost shield.

In addition, Tony changed several anti-aircraft gun positions into dense arrays and missile launch boxes, the defense of this Prince Eugen has reached the limit that the two people can imagine at present.

The two continued to discuss, and as Tony learned more about Ethan's requirements, he also made more and more adjustments to the ship.

It's nothing to do some optimizations to the hull, and the next step is the real major surgery.

Although the superstructure looks roughly similar to the original Prince Eugen, the interior and many details have undergone tremendous changes.

In addition to installing dense arrays and missile launch boxes, the chimney that occupied huge space was transformed into a vertical launch system by Tony while retaining its original appearance. When Ethan learned this, he could only look at Tony with a smug look on his face.

"I want to build a ship from World War II because energy weapons don't need to worry about logistics. If you have so many missiles, where can I go to replenish them?"

"Let's talk about it when you're exhausted."

Tony doesn't care about this. He finally feels a little fun now, and of course he has to give priority to satisfying himself.

"Considering that you have very few crew members on the boat and there is huge space inside the hull, the parts that were originally equipped with seaplanes could be modified to lift the lifting platform. The plane can be parked in the warehouse on the ship. If necessary, use the platform to lift it out of the ship, or open the platform skylight and take off inside the ship."

The aircraft equipped with this ship must have vertical take-off and landing functions. Considering various situations, it is more reasonable to be equipped with several different models to meet different needs.

"Do you have any requirements for the plane?"

"I really want to get a few VFs, but unfortunately I can't get it."

"VF? What is that? Is some kind of high-tech aircraft?" Tony would always be interested in something Ethan mentioned occasionally, because it is likely a product of other worlds. The name sounds like the code name of some kind of technology product, which may be from a world with a higher-tech civilization.

"A variable dual-purpose fighter with a universe and atmospheric environment can break through the atmosphere alone."

Tony's eyes lit up suddenly, as if he wanted to ask for more details, but Ethan quickly turned the topic back to Prince Eugen in front of him.

"When I talked about this, I suddenly remembered that the boom could not be removed."

"Why?"

During World War II, warships had crane arms. One of the important functions was to recycle reconnaissance aircraft landing on the water and "catch" them back on the ship. Now they were replaced with more advanced aircraft and could land directly on the ship. It seems that there is no need to do anything else, right?

"Because the boom is needed to load supplies."

Ethan just thought that if he changed this ship, even if he just replenished food, it would be a huge amount of work to fill the warehouse. It was obviously unrealistic to carry it back and forth with just manpower.

If there is a boom, you can lift the supplies and grab them onto the ship at one time, and then put them directly into the warehouse on the ship if possible.

This idea was found in the era of sail warships. Using tools such as turntables and gears to hang the materials piled up on the dock above the deck. At the same time, there is a "skylight" that can be opened on the deck to facilitate the "put" of the materials directly into the warehouse.

Ethan suddenly remembered this incident. Tony did not expect that it was because the code head now had various equipment and loading and unloading machinery, so there was no need to install anything similar on the ship to occupy space.

Although I don’t know what happened in Ethan’s world, Ethan specifically mentioned it to prove that there was a need, so Tony had to ‘install’ the already deleted hanger back.

At this point, the ship had roughly set the frame, and the remaining specific details need to be discussed slowly for the time being, because Tony still has to figure out what the magic stone techniques given by Ethan are about.

Basically, all the things that can be confirmed have been decided at present. It will take time to go ahead. Tony will study the things Ethan brought out one by one and see how these things should be perfectly transplanted or modified and installed on this warship. It will take some time.

Although Tony was a research crazier, he knew how to relax properly. After saving and archived this rough design, he took Ethan, Diana, Logan and Laura to have a big meal.

Diana bought a lot of clothes and shoes with the company of Pepper, and gave a very detailed popularization and teaching of this demigod who was not very adaptable to modern urban society.

Of course, Logan did not miss this opportunity to spend money. He bought a lot of cigars without hesitation. Ethan is sure that for a long time, even if Logan held a cigar all day, he would not have to worry about not enough cigars in a short period of time.

After having fun for more than half a day, Tony, who returned to Stark Building, immediately grabbed Ethan and entered his lab.

His Stark Building has laboratories of various purposes, which not only have various equipment, but also store a large number of various materials, which makes it convenient for him to conduct various research at any time - it also facilitates him to upgrade and manufacture new steel armor anytime and anywhere.

After he had enough food, drink and have fun, he grabbed Ethan directly to the laboratory because he was curious about Ethan's mention of Magic Stone Technology more than once. He was very eager to understand what this technology was going on. Even without Prince Eugen's design work, he wanted to understand this technology from another world very much.

"That's it?"

"That's it."

What Ethan took out was the armor seized from the assassin. The most technical magic stone equipment in his hand was this set of armor, which was much higher than those thrusters and other technical content.

"What are the abilities of this thing?"

Ethan recalled carefully, and then used the simplest words to describe the full abilities of this armor: "optical stealth, muteness, energy defense, strength and speed enhancement."

"oh?"

Tony didn't care much about this equipment, but he became interested when he heard Ethan's description. While asking Jarvis to scan the equipment in detail, he asked Ethan to ask various details about this armor.

As Tony deepened his understanding of this armor, he also gained more knowledge about magic stone technology.

"To put it simply, this so-called magic stone technology is to use a certain type of prop to exert the special effects of a certain energy. This technology has too great limitations. If you want to use this technology on your own ship, you will be subject to many restrictions."

To give a simple example, if Ethan uses the magic stone propulsion device on his new ship, then after the thruster loses energy or is damaged, he must find a magic stone with the attributes to supplement energy or repair it. This situation will cause huge troubles to logistics and maintenance.
