Reincarnated As Tony Stark With A Skill

Chapter 27 - Years 3

The next few days, Tony tested various ways on improving his total chakra capacity. But he just felt that anymore excess after 1% was just adding fat to him.

Other than training to expand his chakra capacity, Tony spent the next few months managing all the processor companies that he bought.

They were not able to fully acquire Intel but they were able to acquire enough shares to have enough to be taken seriously in meetings.

With all the micro processor companies under control, they started contracting some parts from Stark Industries.

No one in the management's people opposed the decision. Most contracts were just plain business contacts and the ones with personal reasons to oppose were overpowered by the majority. Stark Industries contract was just that much better.

With all the demands, Stark Industries would have needed to prepare for a massive production line. But the actual work came from Tony's production lines.

The production lines Tony used were already some very advanced versions. They were designed for more advanced ch.i.p.s. With the level of complexity of the current microprocessor, Tony's production line can handle the demands and still have weeks to spare.

Tony did not just let that spare time flow though. Tony made his production line produce full computer systems with enough memory to handle JARVIS subroutines. Less than 1TB since does not need voice samples and other unnecessary stuff. It also has a small communications system for short range transmissions. They could only communicate for half a kilometer radius.

Those were then shrunk and added to the microprocessors that were demanded by all those companies.

When they were deployed and powered, they could override the microprocessors. They could also store some data files but only a small amount since the storage space is for the JARVIS sub AI mostly.

-----

The Stark Industries produced processors were gradually spreading throughout the world. The quality was the best in the world. They were high performance ch.i.p.s that also lasted twice the lifetime of other ch.i.p.s at the same performance.

The electronics era was accelerated due to this.

With the cheaper costs (Still incredibly overpriced compared to actual chip's production cost for Tony), reliability, and availability, the microprocessor companies built a virtual monopoly. Intel was eventually owned by Tony.

Even though the US government knew that Stark Industries monopolized the industry, they were not able to do anything to stop it. There were multiple companies that sold the ch.i.p.s at cheap prices.

They can't apply monopoly laws for to a company that openly is not even selling to the market. Each of those shell companies also had different owners that seemed to be real people. There is just no way to pin the Stark as a monopolist since he was just contracted as the manufacturer. All patents are individually owned by the companies.

There is also the military deals handled by Stark Industries. US decided to just let other countries deal with it since no there was no actual problem to handle.

(AN: Intel was forced to help AMD at first due to anti monopoly laws iirc )

1976

Stark processors were the only product in the market. Many companies tried to join the electronics boom but no other processor company survived.

While those competitors were flaked off. Tony secretly hired all the talented people to work in the electronics company network. They were hired to compete with the competitor companies.

With the left over income from those, Tony bought Apple, Microsoft, and other garage startup companies.

Now with Tony's fake personas in control of the companies, he decided to let all his companies with similar interests compete with each other.

This slowed down the development of electronics market again. But it did help in developing the technology in different directions. Tony did not want the world's development to be dependent on him alone.

-----

Tony was starting to publicly learn about engines just to fulfill the historical records. He already uses the flight systems to travel. This is just some random hobby he did to pass time.

This joke actually went serious since cars were some of toys he can play with right now. Planes he can freely use were still too slow for his taste.

-----

SHIELD was also introduced to the private computer network. It was developed by Howard and Tony to take full advantage of the computers they acquired. The computers are connected to a main computer that routes data to other computers. SHIELD was basically using the prototype of the internet 7 years before it others even started the framework for it.

-----

Stark Expo's future look was finally seen by Tony. Since its closing back at 74, Tony waited for the diorama containing the new element's details to be made.

He guessed that Howard was not successful in creating the new element. And looks like Howard has some pride to not ask Tony for some better equipment. It wouldn't help though since Tony can only give him access to the latest tech of this period

-----

Tony progress with chakra also went well. He could now create a bit more than a hundred clones (AN: Sorry. I did not calculate what will happen after a year last chapter but there is a computation below for proof that 100 now. But too late to retract things now so here goes)

With that much available. Tony started sending some of his clones as orphans in different parts of USSR and Europe. He also sent some for Asia but it was harder to mix in since he does not have Asian skin.

Hardly anyone survived the travel. Tony transported them though smugglers so the environment was bad. He used these instead of the planes and other more comfortable means of transport for a reason. Tony wanted to familiarize himself to the black market at the personal level.

Later on, the survivors of the smuggling operations all talked about a mysterious boy who helped them survive the travel. He never ate but still looked very healthy. Multiple accounts were stated that when the news of this mysterious ghost reached the Vatican, the current pope did not miss the chance and attributed the thing to one of their icons and began praising him as the Patron Saint of the Victims of Slaving, Pirates, and Smuggling.

Clone Calculation Equation

So approximated stuff here and there but relatively accurate

assume 300 basic capacity at 5y.o.

minimum chakra(1/3) would be 100 for Tony. Any lower and he would faint.

300*((1.01)^n) is the total capacity after day n

if n = 365

total capacity =11335

with each clone having 100% Tony can produce 113 clones with some spare chakra

3 years would be 161 800

5 years and he could make 230M
