Pepper finally caught Tony who showed up and successfully followed him into the underground laboratory.
But the scene he saw was different from what Pepper had imagined, or in other words, it was very different.
"Limbs, heads, broken drives."
"I just feel like I'm in a slaughterhouse, a slaughterhouse with metal organs. Is this your research?!"
Pepper followed Tony, and in the dark space, she saw the metal platform on the mechanical clamp frame.
Either semi-complete, or simply half-body parts, various steel mechas are scattered throughout the laboratory.
Red data cables and blue conductive devices are laid out in a mess on the floor.
Just like the blood vessels of a robot, there is no natural light source in this underground laboratory and the light bulb is not bright enough.
It makes people feel chilling.
"These are fully intelligent armors!"
"Compared with my backward technology in the past, now that I have discovered new elements, I have given them more possibilities."
"Pepper, as you can see, I am trying to simplify the structure of the parts, and they will become more perfect."
He casually placed the empty wine glass on the experimental board aside. As Tony raised his hand, the metal gloves that had been assembled flew over from the farthest table.
Click!
With an extremely metallic deformation feeling, this single glove part fit perfectly into Tony's hand.
"Look, it's already taken shape. It's as cute as a nimble bird."
"Yes, I personally don't think it's a good idea to put metal on your hand, or to make it come alive."
"Can you tell me about the new elements?!"
Pepper hugged her shoulders and frowned while watching Tony's performance.
Compared to Tony's expertise, she definitely couldn't get a word in on robots and armor theory.
However... this does not prevent her from feeling bad about these cold limbs.
"new element."
"A polluting and clean efficient energy source has replaced the crisis that nearly caused me to die from poisoning in the past."
"Just before we left New York, you told me before, that thing called Homeland..."
Tony fiddled with the metal parts in his hands, picked up the tools from the experimental table nearby, and twisted them on his fingers.
"Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency."
Pepper corrected the name Tony couldn't remember.
"Yes, it's them. Through some secret channels, Jarvis received some gifts."
"It's some videos and information about my father, and I found inspiration and made new discoveries in it."
Tony nodded slightly. He later investigated SHIELD and wanted to find the guy who sent him the gift.
"Nick Fury, he sounds like a secret agent. Has he contacted you?!"
"No, no, I don't know. Even... Coulson, the agent who was with me in New York before, is gone."
Pepper shook her head.
This organization called S.H.I.E.L.D. originally thought that they would have close contact in the future.
But……
They seemed to have disappeared, or there was some internal problem, but they hadn't been seen since New York.
"Oh, then consider it a gift from a good person."
Tony smiled, somewhat disapprovingly, then put down the metal gloves and went to get wine from a row of boxes against the wall.
"Stop, Tony, I'm not here to drink with you."
"Concerning the current Silkaria, the steel factory you established covering an exaggerated area."
"That's your plan for mass production of mechas."
"We need to talk, have you really thought about the consequences of doing this?!"
Pepper took a few steps to stop Tony and kept urging him to come out of the laboratory. This was what she really wanted to say.
"as a result of?!"
"I turned Sirkaria into a paradise overnight."
Tony turned his head and faced Pepper's gaze, his tone was more serious than ever.
"Heaven?!"
"The whole country was plunged into a drunken carnival, without restraint and without any expectation of danger."
"They even want to interfere in the political power of neighboring countries, just because they found a prince."
Pepper felt like she was going crazy.
It is precisely because of what Tony Stark is doing in this country that he is trying to mass-produce a super-era weapon called the Iron Suit.
The influx of a large amount of capital and technology caused this originally poor country to bottom out and rebound.
Everyone is working for Tony Stark, and everyone is crazy about the new Pepper Industries covering the country.
Huge steel project, fully automatic production of steel comrades, every citizen of Silkaria can enjoy the convenience of this invention.
Think about it!
Everyone had steel suits, and under that scene, they began to become careless.
"You also admit that this is an unprecedented comprehensive success?!"
"prince?!"
"Oh, that's a big step for Silkaria. Where's Silver Sable?! She's as happy as her uncle."
Tony was very disapproving.
I even heard that the entire country has changed because of him, and this is precisely because of the contribution of the steel suit.
Such a successful weapon brought a smile to Tony's lips.
"Silver Sable?!"
Pepper was speechless for a moment.
Silver is really happy to see his country prospering.
Even when she set off with her wild warriors to find Whitney, she was very happy and left with hope for her hometown.
But……
Pepper is really worried about whether this hope will cause people to fall into the abyss.
"I saw some bad things, and I wanted to tell you through Jarvis."
"But it's obvious you don't care."
"care?!"
Tony bypassed Pepper and pulled out a brand new bottle of whiskey, so he had to throw the cap off.
He didn't bother to look for a cup at all, so he raised his head and poured it into his mouth.
"Everything is getting better. The Iron Suit is such a perfect blueprint. Why are you so anxious, Pepper?!"
"Why?!"
Because of Tony's casual tone, Pepper could no longer hold back her temper.
"Do you think I'm kidding?!"
"You may be proud that as long as you want, you can arm a million people and even turn more people into super steel men!"
"But……"
"What about those who don't have access to the Iron Suit? Tony, you're a futurist, are you telling me you can't see what will happen?!"
Pepper has already done research on Silkaria.
Even including the Wild Chapter, all the upper echelons of this country are intoxicated with blind optimism.
However, the environment of the people at the bottom is deteriorating rapidly.
Pepper saw the beginning of chaos, and if it was not controlled well, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Tony!"
"You created a new class in this country, and the steel suit made them the superior people."
"But you also instantly make other people an underclass."
class!
Such words appeared in Pepper's mouth, and she didn't believe that someone as smart as Tony would not think of this.
She looked around at the cold metal.
"Steel suit!"
"Your outstanding invention, in the overall blueprint, can make some people rich and some people strong. However, you and I both know that for some people..."
"This will only make the ugliness in their hearts expand infinitely!!"
