Chapter 1073 Ordinary daily life before Christmas (Part 2)
In the empty inner corridor of Stark Tower, Rhodes walked quickly towards the door of the laboratory, followed by another black man, and they stopped at the door of the laboratory together.
Rod straightened his back and opened his eyes wide. After the scanning machine at the laboratory door scanned his face and pupil features, he opened the door.
As soon as he walked in, he saw a naked upper body Stark adjusting the new suit. The visor on his face had not been taken off yet, so he looked a little strange. When he saw Rhodes coming in, he turned around with his hands on his hips.
, said: "Oh, you are here, take a look, I have slightly upgraded the power system of the new suit, it should be pretty good, right?"
After speaking, Stark took off the visor on his face, tilted his body, glanced at the black man following Rhodes, and then returned his gaze to Rhodes' face and asked: "What's this?"
Is this the new tester you found for me? He looks a bit like you. Are you two brothers? "
"This joke is not funny at all." Rhodes shook his head and said, "However, I know that you have racial prosopagnosia, so I won't argue with you."
After finishing speaking, he patted the black man behind him on the back and said, "Sam Wilson is a former member of the U.S. Air Force Parachute Rescue Team, but he has retired now and currently lives in Washington."
Stark stared at Rhodes with an incredulous look and said: "I asked you to find me a mecha tester, and you found me a member of the parachute rescue team??!!
"
"I think this is necessary." Rhodes said very seriously. He glanced at the suit at Stark's hand and said: "In the past three days, you have crashed in various ways and postures.
More than 80 times, which even exceeds the number of parachute drops made by the parachute rescue team during the peak training period. I don’t think anyone except the members of the parachute team can cope with your test requirements."
Stark pursed his lips, closed his eyes, and sighed. Just as he was about to explain, Sam Wilson stepped forward, stretched out his hand, shook hands with him, and said: "Hello, Mr. Stark, I have long admired you.
.”
Stark squinted one eye, looked him up and down, and said, "It's not that I don't trust Rhodes' recommendation. You have to understand that this is not a parachute rescue team..."
"Actually, I don't trust myself either, so I leave many things to Jarvis. To be honest..." Stark took a deep breath and said, "I didn't expect that he could really violate his
The underlying protocol.”
"But I have a lot of experience in falling." Sam smiled and said, "More than 80 parachute drops in three days are not a problem for me at all."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I made my own suit, how could I not use it?" Stark immediately denied it.
Rhodes stepped aside a little, and Sam, who was stronger than him, stepped forward, turned around, and stood in front of the mecha. When the mecha was armed to his body, it seemed a little inappropriate, so Stark adjusted again.
After checking the positions of various parts, Sam was able to control the mecha and move around the room flexibly.
Stark shook his head and said: "The main reason why I didn't call him is that I turned down the Yule Ball. He must be very sad now and has become a drunkard. He may even shed tears... But I
I really don’t have time to go.”
"Although there have been many accidents before, you can believe that the safety of this mecha has made great progress now. You may not have the opportunity to use your falling talent."
Stark stood next to the mecha, patted the mecha's arm and said, "Your name is Sam, right? How is your fighting ability?"
"Admit it, Jarvis knows you better than you know yourself." Rhodes turned his head back, looked into the distance and said, "You are like a baby in his arms, he has to worry about everything for you."
"Oh my God!" Rhodes opened his palm, handed it forward vigorously, and then said: "Don't tell me, you have never practiced fighting in the past few years? You have the balance and strength of an ordinary person?
Flexibility, piloting such a complex mecha, facing such a dangerous opponent...Tony Stark! I don’t know whether you are brave or brave!"
"But if I reduce the working efficiency of the anti-gravity system, the power required for propulsion exceeds the safe range, which may cause the heavy suit to injure the driver from the inside when it faces a collision."
"Could it be because... you don't know how to fight?" Rhodes narrowed his eyes and stared at Stark, saying, "I remember that when we met, you were still a rookie. Did you practice afterwards?"
But this time, Rhodes described Stark as a baby, and Stark didn't immediately jump up and shout. Instead, he folded his arms and stood silently, as if he was lost in memories.
"However, when I was cured of this disease and really relaxed, looking back, I really wanted to give myself a slap in the face. What was I struggling with at the time?"
Rhodes and Stark stood side by side in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching Sam use his gorgeous flying movements to draw smooth arcs one after another. Rhodes turned his head, looked at Stark and said: "The one you explained before
The condom is really useless, it’s just because you don’t know how to use it that it caused the crash.”
The result of Stark's additional interest in artificial intelligence was that this super genius upgraded Jarvis several times in just one or two years, making the smart butler too smart.
He has extremely high combat literacy and can complete all combat requirements.
Before Sam could answer, Rhodes nodded and said, "I'm definitely better than you anyway."
"I have only had the most basic combat training. My close combat ability is definitely not as good as other members of the special forces. I am better at flying. If you want to see it, I can now control it to fly around." Sam said smoothly.
The voice came from inside the suit.
"But your illness is not completely cured." Rhodes said immediately: "Otherwise, you should call Steve Rogers directly and ask him to come over and test the mecha's close combat ability for you."
Stark turned his head and looked at the blue sky in New York in winter. When he looked into the distance, he always felt a different kind of emotion. He said:
"When you are immersed in some kind of entanglement and pain, you will think that it is normal and that you are born to accept it. Therefore, you do not want to seek treatment at all, and you feel that it is better to die like this.
"
"Hey, man, don't brag!" Stark shook his head and said, "Not everyone can control my suit to fly."
Just when Stark was about to refute, Rhodes suddenly realized and said, "Oh, I know! Jarvis is broken, and the intelligent fighting system doesn't work, so you can only wear it and fly into the sky."
Test, and you also hope that I can find a professional tester for you..."
"My friends all say that Jarvis is my child. I created him and taught him a lot, but in my heart, he will always be the old housekeeper who took care of me when I grew up, tolerated me, and accompanied me.
Solve all the troubles for me that I don't want to solve."
Stark stood there, covering his mouth, and sighed. Obviously, he also discovered his own problem. Over the past few years, he had relied too much on Jarvis.
Coupled with the various things Schiller did, Stark was busy conducting research in other aspects. In terms of combat, he basically relied entirely on the intelligent combat system provided by Jarvis.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the heavy new battle suit rising into the air. After the glass of the building used for flight experiments lowered, the originally bulky suit turned into a stream of light and shot straight into the sky of New York.
Stark smiled and cursed, pushed Rhodes' shoulder hard, patted his shoulder with his hand, and said: "You may not believe it, but I may have been really sick before. We all
The same one."
"Flying attitude can test things other than just flying... Forget it, no matter how much I say, you still won't understand." Stark turned his head away.
"Perhaps, in fact, he had already begun to think about the meaning of his existence earlier. However, I was just as bastard as before and didn't notice any changes in him." Stark shook his head slowly.
"You know what? You have also changed a lot." Rhodes looked at Stark and said seriously: "You are finally not such a bastard, and you even look like a serious and responsible good person."
Of course, in order to maintain a good figure, Stark also has a special fitness plan and practices boxing and jujitsu. But obviously, these skills are far inferior to Jarvis's intelligent operation in real combat. To put it simply,
To put it simply, Jarvis is the one who knows how to fight, not Stark.
After speaking, Stark looked back at a computer in the laboratory, and then said: "Fixing Jarvis is not that simple. What's even more difficult is that I hope he won't be trapped in the virtual network anymore.
And I can truly have a body of my own."
Rhodes rolled his eyes, looked at Stark and said: "If the previous theories are not important, then you don't need to talk about it. Since you made this suit for close combat, why do you need it every day?
Wearing it for a ride over New York? Is this another expression of your love for skydiving?”
The few questions Schiller asked Jarvis when he first met him had a far-reaching impact far beyond those mentioned before.
Rhodes reached out and patted his shoulder without saying anything. Stark was silent for a while, and then said: "Actually, I don't have to be a mecha pilot. I know better than you. Don't
It’s okay to risk my genius brain, but at that time, I would never let anyone else put on the suit because I didn’t trust them.”
Stark was silent, but this is actually very rare. When it comes to certain aspects of level issues, Stark always argued without giving up, and even refused to let others make jokes. This is his genius.
Pride will never be allowed to be violated by anyone.
"Of course it's brave." Stark put the tools in his hands aside and emphasized, but then he shook his head and said: "You can't expect a modern person to be able to have an almost omnipotent smart butler.
Thinking about how to practice fighting..."
Stark shook his finger and pointed at him, then walked to the side of the mecha and said: "Very good, you successfully grasped the key point. Tony Stark's genius brain should not be destroyed in the endless freedom."
In the midst of falling, come on, try it on."
Stark explained a lot of theories, but neither Rhodes nor Sam understood them very well. Finally, he came to a conclusion: "Actually, the flight function of this suit is not important. I need someone with combat experience."
people to test its close combat capabilities."
"Now, the main problem I face is that the anti-gravity system I added to this heavy armor affects the operating efficiency of the propulsion system. When flying at high speed, it is easy to stall."
"It's not just about controlling a mechanical body, but like a human being, using vision, touch, hearing, smell, and taste to feel the world."
