"As expected of Tony Stark, his reaction is really quick." Kiri appeased him and chuckled. What he wanted was not the steel armor at all.
What he wants is the Iron Patriot, or... the identity of the Iron Patriot.
Since this armor was taken over by the American Empire, it has gone through countless transformations, from software to hardware. Apart from the basic appearance and energy source, this Iron Patriot Tony is no longer familiar with it.
Thanks to the powerful combat power of this thing, in addition to letting Colonel Rhodes perform some difficult tasks, the US military also asked Colonel Rhodes to join the Secret Service and become one of the personal guards protecting the commander-in-chief of the US Empire.
Kilian wanted Rhodes' armor for this purpose. He wanted to kidnap the current commander and then have him killed by the "Mandarin".
There is a rule for the highest power of the US empire, that is, when the current commander-in-chief is unable to take power due to trouble, the deputy commander-in-chief will take over and become the official commander-in-chief.
Just like Melo Zong, after Melo Zong was enlightened, his deputy was ordered to take the oath of office directly in a basement according to the Bible.
What Killian wants is this effect. He has already secured a deputy commander. Now as long as he supports him to the top, he will be able to hide behind him and control the entire world.
"Why bother?" Tony complained while working: "Then why don't you directly participate in the election? That way, there is no trouble."
"Tony, there are more and more extraordinary people in this world." Killian smiled:
"For example, you, Captain America, who has been sleeping for seventy years, or the masked man in black robe who beat up all the Avengers..."
"So, in this world, there are some things that cannot be arrogant, cannot stand in the spotlight, and cannot be the focus of everyone's attention."
Killian talked freely, but his eyes were always locked on Tony, making sure that he didn't do anything.
Tony was defeated by his gaze, and could only repair the armor honestly. He was a fire-breathing person. Tony didn't think he could compete with the opponent without the armor. Even with the armor, he might not be able to compete with him.
It's the opponent.
Not long after, under Tony's repairs, Iron Patriot was completely restored, exactly the same as before.
"Well done, Tony." Killian patted him on the shoulder and praised him.
"Damn..." Tony sighed: "When I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely create a smart armor that can fly by itself, find targets to attack by itself, and protect me."
"I wish you good luck. You are a genius and will succeed." Killian grinned and gave a thumbs up.
Behind him, a bodyguard put on the Iron Patriot, then stepped out, soared into the sky, and flew into the sky. Now because the whole country is nervous about the "Mandarin", no one knows whether there will be human bodies.
A bomb broke in, so the commander's office environment was changed from the White House in Washington to Air Force One.
This decision by the US emperor saved Killian a lot of trouble. Being far away from the ground and isolated, Killian could easily get what he wanted.
Watching the Iron Patriot take off, Killian waved his hand, and the bodyguards carried Tony Stark and Colonel Rhodes away from here.
"Let's go, Tony, go to our bigger stage, where you will see the most eye-catching me." Killian smiled:
"That was my grand event, and you were the best audience. Just like at the 1999 Science Conference, I was your audience, and now it's your turn."
Colonel Rhodes: "..."
What about me? What am I? Should I be under the car or not in the car?
…
Los Angeles, a villa.
Beth was holding a bag of Lay's potato chips, sitting in front of the computer and chewing chips, staring at the computer screen, with a large bottle of Fat Boy's Happy Water at her hand.
Of course, she was not watching a TV show. The image on the computer screen was not a TV show, but a record of Killian's experiments.
"The 372nd experiment, the latest version of the Extremis virus did not show any uncontrollable external shape, did not self-destruct, and even emotional excitement could not cause the Extremis virus to attack."
"I'm one step closer to success, hahaha..."
In the video, Killian's excited voice kept coming out. Although his face was tired, his eyes were full of energy.
"..."
"The 380th experiment revealed the side effects of the Extremis virus." Killian said solemnly: "This medicine will affect people's minds, making them hot-tempered, very irritable, and unreasonable.
"
"The experimenter's emotions are out of control, we must get rid of him."
"Bang! Damn it, guns can't kill him..."
"Liquid nitrogen, get the liquid nitrogen quickly... Damn it, hurry up, he's about to break free!"
"..."
"In the 432nd experiment, I found a way to amplify the way the Extremis virus affects people's emotions and minds, but this method will greatly reduce the original ability of the Extremis virus. I must find a way to solve this problem again...
"
"..."
"Experiment 493, damn... After many experiments, this problem cannot be solved. Now I face two choices, which is to choose an unstable virus with strong power, strong self-healing ability and strong fighting ability.
Or choose a virus that is less powerful but controllable?"
"..."
"In the 500th experiment, I have expanded the power of the controllable virus to the greatest extent, barely able to reach the same level as Captain America's physical data... But this is not what I want, I want to surpass him..."
"..."
"The 574th experiment, I have to admit that the current terminal virus is the limit of my ability, and I can no longer make it better..."
"..."
"The six hundredth experiment, the subject of the experiment was my bodyguard. He did not have any adverse reactions, including physical or psychological. If it is according to Maya's vision, it is successful, but as a superhuman development of pharmaceuticals
, he can only be compared with the Captain America serum from seventy years ago.”
"In the 607th experiment, I injected myself with the Extremis virus. All the data are consistent with the experiment. It gave me self-healing, fire, and super physical strength, but... I could have done better."
Seeing this, Beth let out a long sigh of relief. As long as there were no side effects, everything else was fine. This virus was very suitable for her.
On the other side, Maya Hansen was behind her, tinkering with various instruments and bottles, turning a deaf ear to the noise she just made. Beth sighed when she saw this, scientists are really scary.
Didi didi~
At this time, a pop-up window suddenly popped up in the lower right corner of the computer, which showed that Air Force One was under attack and its altitude was dropping rapidly.
Beth clicked on the pop-up window, and the steel armor painted in blue, white and red jumped out from the bottom of the plane and flew down to the ground quickly.
"Is this...Iron Patriot?" Beth frowned. It shouldn't happen. If this thing is on Air Force One, this kind of thing shouldn't happen.
After thinking about it, Bess sent the news to Cao Gui. This matter might have something to do with the "Mandarin", and Cao might be interested.
