Stark stood at the shuttle center and was stunned for two minutes outside the gate. When he turned his head again and looked at the New York skyline, he realized that this universe might be a high-tech universe in the future.捍
Stark took two steps back and looked at the year, month and day displayed on the electronic light screen in the center of the shuttle center door. It was even earlier than the year he arrived.
He speculated that this may be due to the different human history on this earth. At this time, Stark's mind was full of scripts such as the Earth Unification War and evil robots occupying the earth.
But Stark felt a little confused. He and Xu Shangqi were different. Ordinary college students would only understand this as the development of human science and technology. But as a top scientist, Stark understood that if there is no qualitative breakthrough in human materials science, then
It is impossible to build such an aircraft, but if there is a qualitative breakthrough, then why do the houses in the place where he fell still use ordinary reinforced concrete structures?
Even if the development of mechanics and architecture is unbalanced, the cars on the road should change, instead of looking exactly the same as Stark's universe. If there is a material that can build so many aerial vehicles, then why
Traditional road vehicles haven’t been eliminated yet? Why are there still trucks and vans on the road?
Stark suppressed many questions in his mind. He came here with a goal. He must complete the most important goal first and then think about these problems.
Iron Man, who has experienced a lot, deeply understands how terrible it is to be distracted during the execution of the plan. His train of thought is very clear, but this firm idea only lasted until he boarded the
Until the shuttle.
There are several models of shuttles now. One of them is more similar to an ordinary bus. It has a fixed route and a large internal space with about two floors. It can accommodate a lot of people. The ride price is also very cheap. It also provides certain services.
A buyout package for a line or a certain period of time.
At present, the lines cover almost the entire New York area, far more than bus lines and subway lines, so most ordinary people will choose this kind of shuttle, which is economical, affordable and convenient.
There is also a small shuttle, which is similar to a taxi on the road. You can specify your own destination. However, because it is an intelligent calculation line, in order to prevent route conflicts, you may have to wait, and the price is also expensive. In order to prevent the underground road from being abandoned,
This type of shuttle intentionally raises the price and protects the business of traditional taxi drivers. Generally, only office workers with urgent matters and the middle class who are not short of money will choose this shuttle.
The most high-end one is the dedicated shuttle. This kind of shuttle is not open to the public and is only provided to the police, military, agents and emergency medical personnel. The line has the highest priority, making it convenient for these public officials to go to the front line of the accident.
This kind of shuttle can be said to be the shuttle with the highest technological content so far. Not only is it fast and stable in flight, it is also equipped with warning, firefighting and medical equipment. It can hover in the air and serve as an aerial platform for various equipment, and it can also be deployed on the ground to become a flying shuttle.
War bunkers and power supply stations.
There are smart terminals in every shuttle ride center. You only need to enter your destination, and strong artificial intelligence will calculate the most suitable way to travel, and it also supports combined rides.
For example, if you take a non-congested bus shuttle in the first half of the journey and arrive at a certain stop, the taxi shuttle route to the destination will be idle. You can get on the bus directly without waiting. In this way, the computer will calculate the most time-saving route.
In this way, passengers only need to click to receive a smart card and follow the navigation voice.
In fact, so far, there are no traffic jams on the New York air transportation lines. The main reason is that three-dimensional transportation mainly depends on the technological content of the transportation. As long as it can fly high enough, there will be an extra layer for every two meters higher.
With more space, thousands of more lines can be expanded.
Because it is still in the testing phase, the flying height of the shuttle is locked, but it is conceivable that once it becomes a mainstream means of transportation in the future, there will be enough space under the blue sky of 30,000 feet for all residents of megacities to avoid traffic jams.
.
Standing in front of the intelligent line computing center of the boarding center, Stark also anticipated this situation. He stretched out a hand and pressed the only button on the screen. A smiley face appeared and the loading pattern jumped for a few seconds.
A small, thin card protruded from the window of the terminal machine.
Stark was a little confused when he took the card, but then he found an arrow appeared in front of his feet. At the same time, the card vibrated, and a voice sounded: "Welcome to the audio guide of the Arkham Sanatorium Shuttle Ride Center. You can
Unwrap the metal pin on the back of the card and secure it close to your ear."
Stark was a little at a loss holding the card. He looked around and found that the people around him dealt with the card in two ways.
Elites wearing suits and ties often pin the cards to their collars or tie knots, while more rebellious young people wearing sportswear or sweatshirts hang the cards directly from their ears.
Stark hesitated for a moment, then pinned the card to the collar of his suit, and then followed the lighted arrow in front of his feet, step by step, to the platform where the small shuttle was boarded.
A few seconds later, the Stark Group's dedicated shuttle came to him. Stark was stunned for a moment. He looked down at the card on his chest and speculated that the terminal just now had a face recognition system.
Stark tightened his shirt and jacket on the spot, coughed twice, adjusted his facial expression, and walked into the shuttle.
His obsession with the goal was gradually dissipated as he sat in the shuttle and looked at the scenery outside the window. Both sides of the small shuttle were spacious and bright glass, so Stark could completely see New York.
night view.
Staying up all night and brightly lit Manhattan can be said to be a cliché, but what surprised Stark was that the nightlife in the suburbs or the less developed Bronx was much richer than in the universe he was in.
In addition, there were construction sites almost everywhere. Stark was almost lying on the shuttle window, and he couldn't see what was going to be built.
As an early developed area, New York has almost no room for construction, but those strange rumbling machines seem to be sure to dig out something new in this area where celebrities and rich people have been lingering for a long time.
The curiosity in his heart began to outweigh his obsession. Every scientist must have had a stable, wealthy and developed scientific research environment in his dream. Just when Stark was still dazed by this, there were two "didi" sounds, and it was...
The station prompt sounded.
Stark was stunned for a moment. He looked up at the watch and found that five minutes had not passed yet. This was from the suburbs of New York to the city center. Wasn't this flying a little too fast?
Astonished as he was, Stark still pretended to be as steady as a mountain, strode out of the shuttle, and then found himself on the roof of the Stark Tower, but not quite the roof.
Previously, during the Stark Tower Technology Expo, Stark added several more floors to the upper floors of his home. It was an aerial platform similar to a space carrier, which is still suspended above the building.
The science and technology expo that was originally held for a limited time has now become a science and technology museum that charges admission. Many people come here to visit every holiday. However, if Stark himself wants to go down, he still needs to take a special elevator.
Stark looked around and found that he didn't know the road, but he didn't dare to show it. At this moment, a gentle voice sounded: "Welcome back, Mr. Stark, are you lost again? Please
Go to the right, the safety elevator indicator light is on."
Hearing the familiar voice, Stark breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Jarvis, it's good to have you."
Then, he realized that this was not his smart butler, but the Stark of this universe. This made Stark feel awkward, but when he thought that they were both Tony Stark, Stark
I felt relieved.
He thought, at best, he could leave some research results here as compensation. Stark was confident that even in the future, his mind would still be the most valuable asset.
Following Jarvis's guidance, Stark finally returned to the laboratory he was somewhat familiar with. Looking at the familiar layout of the experimental bench, Stark breathed a sigh of relief. He finally had a place to supply supplies.
Stark almost couldn't wait to sit back on the chair where he usually thought about various problems. The familiar touch made him let out a long sigh. When the tense nerves finally relaxed, countless sad memories
came to mind again.
In the smoke-filled and extremely chaotic battlefield, the shining luster of the Infinity Stones was like a brightly colored nightmare.
Stark watched helplessly as the body of the young man in the red and blue uniform began to gradually turn into ashes. The extreme sadness and anger, thinking back on it now, still made it difficult for Stark to breathe.
But then, something happened too suddenly. Many black flames enveloped Peter Parker's body, pulling him out of Iron Man's arms. A huge demonic shadow descended on the battlefield, and used that black...
The flames swept Spider-Man away from the battlefield.
He is still alive!
This was Stark's only thought. He didn't think about where the demonic figure came from, or how Peter could have such power. There was only one sentence left in his heart that kept echoing - his child is still alive.
, and he must find him!
Stark couldn't control his actions at all. He knew that the war was far from over and it was not time to leave yet, but he just desperately wanted to pursue Peter Parker's chance of survival.
What if the demon took him away with the intention of killing him? What if I didn't save him, and he would still die in the end?
This worry kept echoing in Stark's mind, making it almost impossible for him to think, so he used the technological means of the Stark Group to start searching for traces of the power of the Black Flame around the world.
But Stark didn't know much about the power of magic, and the Supreme Mage Strange also died in this war, so Stark could only contact the New York Temple.
However, the New York Temple personnel suffered heavy casualties in this war and were unable to help others. The wizards could only help Stark contact the Hong Kong Temple.
Just when Stark went to the East to pursue clues, the Ten Rings Gang wanted to take advantage of the chaos to capture the Hong Kong Temple. Stark had heard about this organization, but because it was not the main enemy of the Avengers, he did not face it directly.
Have had a confrontation.
At that time, Stark had almost completely lost his mind. Anyone who showed ill will to him would be regarded as the murderer who kidnapped Spider-Man. He felt that it was a coincidence that the Ten Rings Gang attacked here when he needed the help of the Hong Kong Temple, and that it must be related to
The mastermind behind the scenes is inextricably linked.
So, he controlled the suit and came to the headquarters of the Ten Rings Gang to bombard them wildly. The gangsters knew they were outmatched, so they invited the Mandarin. The Mandarin controlled the Ten Rings and Iron Man in the Hong Kong Temple.
The fight was brutal.
The irrational Iron Man exerted his full potential, and the Ten Rings could not do anything to him. The Mandarin, who was beaten and had his head exploded and ran away, was enraged. The power of the Ten Rings merged into one and attacked Stark.
This force failed to hit Iron Man, but it hit the energy storage center of the Earth's magic defense network. In a big explosion, Stark only felt a huge force engulfing him, and then there was a spin.
Countless stars flashed before his eyes, and in the chaotic and confusing picture, Stark saw one spider thread after another, connecting one light point after another, and a huge spider web connecting the entire multiverse.
.
It is not easy for any being to travel through the multiverse, including the powerful demon Mephisto.
Mephisto was hired by the Sanctuary for business, so he simply borrowed Spider-Man's passage to travel through the multiverse directly from Spider Silk, which was the multiverse portal opened by Spider Totem and Master Weaver, and went to the universe where the distress signal was sent to fish for people.
.
By chance, Iron Man accidentally entered the multiverse passage left by the Spider Totem in an explosion, and then followed the route Mephisto took away Peter and came to this universe.
But physically traveling across the universe is not that simple at all. Spider-Man can effortlessly travel through the multiverse because they themselves are the spokespersons of the spider totem and are very adaptable to this power.
But the spider totem cannot adapt to strange existences at all. Mephisto can withstand the rejection reaction because he is a powerful demon and his life form is different from carbon-based creatures, but Stark cannot.
He had just experienced two battles, and his suit was almost damaged. The endless darkness was constantly draining his spirit. During the long night, countless chaotic and weird whispers sounded in his ears.
But no difficulty in this world can stop a father who wants to save his child. The more painful it is, the stronger the obsession becomes.
Leaning back on the chair, Stark slowly closed his eyes. No matter how long the journey was and how dangerous the destination was, he must find Spider-Man, his child Peter Parker, who was taken away.
