Chapter: 282
Generally, modern industrial-manufactured compound bows have a range of about 300 meters, with an effective killing distance of just over 200 meters.
Only exceptional marksman with shooting skills like Hawkeye can fully unleash the potential of a bow and arrow, allowing its killing range to approach the maximum range.
Previously, using a titanium alloy compound bow specially made for him by S.H.I.E.L.D, Hawkeye achieved a range of nearly 800 meters.
With his superhuman abilities and precise shooting, he could achieve an effective killing distance of around 740 meters.
This range was comparable to some lightweight sniper rifles.
Moreover, the bow and arrow do not produce much noise during attacks, making it a perfect weapon for covert operatives who engage in long-term assassination missions, especially considering that Hawkeye had reached a superhuman level in archery.
Later, the first graphene-carbyne composite bow that Mark made for Hawkeye had not been carefully considered in terms of structure and material selection.
Although it surpassed ordinary bows in range, it was slightly inferior to the custom bow from S.H.I.E.L.D., with a range of only 760 meters.
As a result, Hawkeye's effective killing range, which used to be at least 700 meters, dropped to around 600 meters after using Mark's bow.
However, despite the shorter effective range, the bow's durability far exceeded expectations due to its use of graphene-carbyne composite materials.
Additionally, the special weaving of graphene fibers provided an initial spin velocity for the arrows upon release, resulting in a significant increase in arrow penetration despite the reduced range.
Moreover, the bow provided more reliable assistance to Hawkeye during his frequent close combat encounters.
Hence, except for some special missions requiring long-distance attacks, Hawkeye chose not to switch back to the equipment provided by S.H.I.E.L.D.
However, this time, Mark spent nearly a week customizing a bow and arrow specifically for Hawkeye, which not only achieved a range of 1000 meters, surpassing any bow he had used before.
But also put considerable effort into many details to allow Hawkeye to fully unleash his sharpshooting abilities.
Firstly, when designing the entire bow, Mark considered various principles of engineering mechanics and aerodynamics.
He also took into account Hawkeye's height, weight, arm length, physical fitness, military skills, and other factors as design considerations. After comprehensive consideration, he finalized the design of the current finished product.
The excellent feel of the bow and the experience of drawing the string, though not directly contributing to Hawkeye's shooting ability, undoubtedly provided him with an extremely smooth shooting experience on a psychological level.
Most importantly, the bowstring was made from a newly customized reinforced silk, greatly improving the range of the bow and arrow and retaining the property of graphene bowstrings, which could apply an initial spin velocity to the arrows.
This ensured a longer killing distance while still maintaining arrow speed and penetration power.
In addition, this bow has integrated a compact capsule device, ensuring that Hawkeye can carry it with him at all times to deal with any sudden situations.
With a powerful super compound bow, three specially customized high-tech arrows, and the technologically advanced Hawkeye suit, his combat ability could be increased at least six times.
He would become a formidable force on par with other Avengers equipped with Mark's gear, such as Falcon and Black Widow.
Upon the completion of the final customized equipment, Mark fulfilled his promise to Hawkeye immediately.
He used the unmanned drone devices from his lab, prepared for market launch by Mark Research Center, and sent the whole set of equipment to Hawkeye.
Of course, Mark secretly opened a portal, sending the drone close to Hawkeye's location, saving a lot of transportation time.
After receiving the customized new equipment from Mark, Hawkeye treated it like a treasure.
He quickly changed into it at the Avengers Tower and familiarize himself with the specially tailored high-tech gear according to Mark's instructions.
Over the next few months, as he occasionally discovered secret Hydra bases that needed Avengers' cooperation with S.H.I.E.L.D. to eliminate, Hawkeye became completely familiar with the use of the new equipment through these large-scale real combat situations.
As Hawkeye's strength improved, the assignments of the Avengers' task teams changed, and he started to carry out more solo missions or teamed up with Natasha.
With the enhanced archery from the new gear, he could silently take out targets from long distances with ease, completing most of the extermination missions without the need for much cooperation.
Time flew by, and it was now 2015.
The office building of Mark Research Center was now a new landmark in the City of Angels. In this newly constructed building, the company had successfully held two product launch events.
The first event was the product launch in the last quarter of 2014, where the foldable quadcopter drone showcased by Mark Research Center gained approval from consumers and successfully opened up the previously neglected consumer drone market, thanks to its advanced flight control system and stable camera gimbal.
The second event held in the newly constructed building was even more important. It was the product launch and investment fair for the first quarter of 2015.
The main product technology to be showcased during the event was the new reinforced silk that Mark had researched to make bowstrings for Hawkeye.
Although the production cost of the reinforced silk was low, its unique features and Mark's exclusive production technology made it impossible to position it as a low-end product in terms of pricing and target audience.
The final result of the meeting also proved that Mark's company's sales strategy was extremely accurate. For ordinary people, no matter how powerful the material's performance, its impact on their daily lives was minimal.
But for high-end clothing brands, wealthy conglomerates, the military, and special departments, this kind of material was a dream come true.
As a result, there's no need to say more; Mark undoubtedly made a significant profit from it.
While his own company was thriving and making continuous business moves, Mark himself was not idle either...
