The Legendary Mechanic in Marvel Universe

Chapter 129 First Thing to Do When You Can Fly

TL: Kyous

After confirming there was no one in the surrounding area, Leo surged his Mechanical Force and equipped Viper Mark V. All sorts of armor parts instantly locked onto each other, becoming one.

Extending out for the car key, he locked the car and tossed the key into the compartment in his chest, preparing to set off.

Every Anti-gravity Pulse Blaster activated and under the command of the flying chip and Leo’s intracranial signal, Viper Mark V gradually floated with him in it. After hovering for several seconds, he lifted his head as the Anti-gravity Pulse Blasters abruptly increased their output.

Boom!

The huge propulsion acted on the armor, causing Leo to shoot into the air like a cannon.

300 meters…

600 meters…

……

2-kilometers height was reached in an instant.

Thankfully, his body’s constitution was strong. Otherwise, an ordinary person’s internal organs would be crushed under this huge acceleration.

It was good weather today. Taking a peek down from thousands of meters above the ground, the field of view was wide. Leo’s eyes could capture the entirety of New York City. Momentarily, he felt relaxed and freshened.

“Phew~ It’s a bit chilly!” Leo’s body shivered slightly and quickly looked at the data displayed by the detection system.

【Altitude: 2123 meters

External temperature: -15 degrees Celcius

Internal temperature: -12 degrees Celcius】

At the moment, New Year had just gone by. It was January and New York’s temperature was struggling at around 0 degrees Celcius. At a height of 2000 meters, this temperature was normal!

A thought suddenly popped into his mind, ‘Activate armor’s internal circulation.’

Intracranial signals were swiftly sent and the armor’s internal circulation system activated immediately, gradually heightening the armor’s internal temperature. This internal circulation system included a thermostat system and turbocharger system which would ensure Leo was capable of breathing just like on land when flying at high altitudes.

Frankly, even in these harsh conditions, he was able to withstand them. The greatest example was Steve Rogers, who was frozen in ice for several decades. Wasn’t he still alive and kicking?!

These bits of harsh conditions weren’t still incapable of damaging Leo with his Inferior Super Soldier Physique. However, who would decline a comfortable life?!

As the internal circulation was functioning, the armor’s internal temperature gradually rose to around 5 degrees Celcius. Leo gazed at the sky above him as the pulse blasters continued operating. The armor steadily climbed into higher altitudes.

Up ahead was a billow of cloud that suddenly appeared. Without reducing his speed, Leo crashed into the clouds head-on. The next moment, icy mixtures struck his head, but he couldn’t feel any impact due to the Vibranium. 

In the next instant, he pierced through the clouds, reaching the top of them. Hovering on the clouds was tantamount to the myth and legend he heard from his past life, It was as if riding the cloud itself.

A sense of amazement and excitement emerged in his head. This experience was indescribable!

However, he couldn’t even maintain for three seconds!

All of a sudden, the armor started to lose its balance. The power system was still operating, hence he began spinning in the air. It turned out that the current temperature was extremely low. The heat generated from air friction during the flight melted the ice on Viper Mark V’s surface. But now, it started to freeze again, sealing various gaps in the armor.

Therefore, the armor lost its balance as it couldn’t freely make fine-tune movements.

Understanding this matter, Leo, who was being tossed around by the armor, instantly had a counterplan. The defensive runes on the armor’s surface began shining and a translucent barrier appeared. The ice on the armor’s gaps was instantly crushed, spilling in midair.

After recovering the armor’s balance, Leo steadied his body and muttered, “When flying high in the future, the barrier must be opened!”

Since the energy consumption of the barrier on the air resistance was minimal, he could afford to use it!

As the series of altitude tests were completed, Leo set the destination on Minnesota’s Luotang Highway with the navigation system, preparing to test long-distance flying. After the armor climbed onto the stratosphere, the following flying mission was delegated to the flying chip. According to the preset destination, it swiftly headed toward there.

Five minutes…

Ten minutes…

Twenty minutes…

‘D*mn! So boring! Why not do a backstroke?!’

Flipping his body with his back facing downward, the flying chip readjusted the flying method and continued to fly.

During the journey, it was only Leo talking to himself, even a talking companion was unavailable. He suddenly felt it was meaningless in flying!

‘Looks like it’s time to develop a long-distance transmission and connect Steam to the armor!’

With Steam’s assistance, not only could Leo get rid of his boredom during flying, but also placed him at ease. For example, right now Leo was unsure whether or not a commercial airplane would suddenly pass by while he was flying.

Due to him needing to constantly lift his head and stared at the front. After a while, his neck became sore! Thus, when he flipped his body just now, he instantly felt a lot more comfortable.

……

Viper Mark V’s speed was fast, at least twice as fast as a commercial airplane. Within about an hour, he already arrived in Minnesota from New York.

Shutting off the flying chip, Leo took back the armor’s flight control and willed the armor to descend. With a slight thud, the armor landed in the middle of Luotang Highway.

This place was rather remote. Coupled with the sparse population around this area, not even a single vehicle or person could be seen on this wide road.

Around a hundred meters ahead was the gas station he once robbed when he escaped from the H.Y.D.R.A. base. He speedily dashed over and silently climbed onto the gas station’s rooftop before peeking into the convenience store.
