Miss Pepper Potts was talking about contract agreements, financial statements and other trivial matters through the virtual screen, while Tony Stark was sitting at the table and was answering, while holding in his hand
He was constantly fiddling with a complex mechanical structure. The laser gun slowly cut across the alloy shell, and the flying sparks were reflected on his black goggles.
Pepper closed her mouth and looked at him helplessly for a moment, then asked: "So, Tony, did you hear what I just said?"
"Of course, I'm listening." Tony nodded repeatedly.
"Then what did I just say?"
"Uh... stocks?"
"Oh, you actually remembered a word. That's amazing. I'm a little flattered." Pepper sarcastically said.
Tony temporarily took off his goggles, looked at her seriously and said, "Hey, I trust you, okay? I trust you 100% to handle everything. Just handle it according to your own ideas. You don't have to ask my opinion."
.”
"Oh." Pepper said dryly, "Then I plan to sell the Stark Group tomorrow."
"No, you wouldn't." Tony shrugged nonchalantly, "It's just like your child. How can a mother sell her child?"
Little Pepper was helpless. In fact, she had known for a long time that Tony wouldn't care about that bunch of trivial matters. Ever since Tony was rescued from the Middle East, all his thoughts were on the armor and he didn't seem to care about anything else. She said this
The phone call was just a formality. After all, his name was still hanging on the company building, and there were many things that required his nod.
The official business was over, and Pepper changed the topic: "You look terrible. Tell me the truth, have you not left the laboratory for many days?"
"Don't think too much, I go to bed early and get up early every day." Tony made a serious face.
However, before Pepper could reply, his artificial intelligence butler Jarvis immediately sold his boss: "Sir, it has been 72 hours since you last slept."
Tony said with a dark face: "Shut up, Jarvis. It's none of your business here."
He felt that Lao Jia had become more and more disobedient recently. Was it because he had not been trained for too long? No, was there something wrong with the calibration program?
He secretly decided to give Lao Jia a good repair in the next two days. At the same time, Tony put on a serious face and acted mechanically: "Sorry, you are talking to Tony Stark's holographic projection. The video content has been played. If you have any questions,
Please call and leave a message in the voicemail box..."
Pepper yelled: "Wait Tony! I haven't finished speaking yet, you can't..."
As soon as the screen went dark, Pepper's voice stopped abruptly. Tony threw the floating projection screen aside and rubbed the corners of his eyes tiredly.
Pepper was right, he hadn't left the lab in a long time.
During this period of time, he has been researching new technologies for upgrading the suit, starting from the last encounter with the alien beast.
He never mentioned it to anyone, but that experience really had a big impact on him. Until more than a month ago, he still believed that Iron Man was the ultimate answer to all the problems in the world, and then suddenly, the twisted giant creature and
Silver giants appeared one after another, shattering his confidence and worldview with the explosive expansion of data.
He didn't tell Pepper about his worries because he didn't want her to be as anxious as he was. But the fact was that he was frightened. Knowing that there were a bunch of things out there that the current Iron Man was completely powerless to fight against made him
He could not sit still.
The new generation of Iron Man armor is designed based on this premise. He collected all the data of the giant during the battle, captured the energy changes in every microsecond, and drew detailed curves for analysis, especially the final giant.
The moment when the hands are crossed to form a cross and the light is fired.
After countless research and explorations, Tony made a discovery that even he had not expected. After matching the specific frequency of the energy released by Ultraman, he tried to call the Stark Group's satellite to track and search the energy frequency.
, and unexpectedly discovered that the entire earth's atmosphere seemed to be shrouded in similar energy.
Of course, this energy scattered around the world is extremely weak, so weak that it can be almost ignored normally, but after Tony made many measurements with precision instruments, he was convinced that this was a power similar to that of Ultraman.
So after a complicated operation, he successfully separated and extracted a certain key new element, and applied this element to the arc reactor technology. Although only trace elements with extremely low content were added, the arc-shaped
The performance of the reactor in all aspects has exploded beyond his imagination. The data obtained during the first test even made Tony suspect that there was something wrong with his computer.
After he applied the brand-new reactor to the newly developed mk7 armor, Iron Man immediately received a completely reborn upgrade. Stronger power, superior mobility, and even the response speed of the armor's neural interaction module were incredible.
The improvement is a comprehensive upgrade in the true sense. That's why there was a scene in New York City where Iron Man beat the novice Doctor Doom.
After that actual combat test, this new Iron Man system was officially completed, but the test still exposed some areas that could be improved, and this is what he is still working on.
The world is not safe.
That's why someone has to stand up and fight.
There was a soft beep from the computer, and Jarvis' gentle voice sounded: "Simulation adjustment successful, sir. The energy loss rate of the suit's hand armor has been reduced by 7.39%."
"Adjust the data and let's do it again. We should be able to get it even lower."
After the words fell, before Jarvis could speak, the lights in the laboratory went out with a buzzing sound.
Tony was stunned.
Blackout? Here? Tony Stark's house?
How can this be?
Not only the lights, but every suspended screen in the laboratory was also turned off. Darkness quickly occupied the entire space, as if silently announcing that this was its own territory.
There was no movement from the backup engine. Tony remembered that he had never encountered a similar situation since he moved here, and the probability of such a thing happening should be less than one in a million.
"Jarvis? Are you there?"
Tony heard his own voice echoing in the dark laboratory, without any echo.
Then, he seemed to hear footsteps, like the sound of tens of thousands of tons of footsteps hitting the rocks, and even the villa under his feet seemed to tremble slightly at any time.
He began to feel something was wrong.
In an instant, a loud noise echoed in the silent darkness. The ceiling cracked open amidst the heavy screams, and a ferocious and huge claw tore the roof apart and fell from the sky!
