Chapter 174 Ultron: Thinking about me?
night.
Bant leaves Hardy's house.
The atmosphere of the dinner tonight was very harmonious. Mrs. Hardy's snobbishness had not changed at all, but Bant's current identity and status had changed.
She was even more pleased with Bant than Hardesky was with Bant.
The atmosphere was originally set for Bant to stay the night, but then they found out there were no empty rooms, so he had to squeeze in with Felicia.
But Hardesky firmly disagreed.
They said that Felicia was still young and you were all children.
Please, this is America, not the Qing Dynasty. Elementary school students in America are starting to fly leaves.
But in fact, Bant also felt that staying overnight was inappropriate.
After all, there is a ghost named Shen* hovering above his head, who is so powerful that it is indescribable and cannot be called by name.
Leave the Hardys.
Before Bant had taken a few steps, he received a phone call that surprised him.
"Pepper Potts?"
The caller on the phone showed Xiao La Jiao.
Pepper does have Bant's contact information. They exchanged phone numbers at the last Stark World Expo. After all, there is still business dealings between the two companies.
Stark Industries is now undergoing energy reform. The reactor technology belongs to Tony, but the new element was discovered first by Bant.
So Primus also has to share a portion of the money Stark makes from energy.
But he had little contact with the CEO of Stark Industries.
"Why did she call me so late..." Bant looked up at the sky. It was almost midnight.
At this point in time...
Could it be that this old woman wanted to spend the night with him?
Bant shuddered at the thought.
Ugly rejected Oh.
"Hello, Miss Potts, what can I do for you at this late hour?"
The words "spending a good night together" were obviously just a joke. Pepper probably called him about Tony.
After all, most of Primus's business is managed by Harry...
"Wait, it looks like Harry is back to take care of Osborn?"
Bant suddenly realized that his huge company was without management.
But it doesn’t matter, there are only a few employees anyway.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Parker, I'm talking about Tony..."
Stark Industries Building.
Although it has been renamed Avengers Building, the iconic "Stark" has not yet been removed, and the new building of Stark Industries has not been completed. The company cannot move away, and the Avengers members naturally cannot move in.
But this is not a big problem. With the ., the Avengers are like a vanguard team. They will be dispatched when necessary, and there is no need to gather together when nothing happens.
At this moment, Pepper looked worried. While holding her cell phone, her eyes were still looking at Tony's locked laboratory.
"After he came back from the . last time, he has been locking himself in the laboratory. If I hadn't heard the sound of iron hammering occasionally, I would have been afraid that he would have starved to death in there." Pepper said helplessly.
"I called Coulson, and Coulson asked Captain America to talk to him. I heard that they seemed to have a quarrel, but it was useless... The captain said that I'm afraid you are the only one who can persuade him."
"Please..."
Little Chili Pepper really had no choice.
She was really afraid that Tony would die suddenly in the lab.
"Okay, I'll go to Stark Tower right away." Bant hung up the phone, then pinched his chin and sighed.
“Am I really destined to be a hard worker?”
He found himself extremely busy during this period, especially after the establishment of the . Bureau, which was even busier than when he was destroying Hydra.
"I guess I have to keep those superheroes and villains busy. If they're not busy, it'll be my turn." He sighed and took a taxi to Stark Tower.
Half an hour later, Bant met Tony under the guidance of Pepper.
Seeing him coming, Tony immediately put down the work at hand, raised his eyebrows and said sarcastically:
"Have you learned to go through the main door this time?"
"You seem to be in good spirits." Bant didn't care about his bad words, sat down on the chair naturally, and then greeted Jarvis.
"Miss Potts worried for nothing."
"I needn't have worried."
Tony rolled his eyes, but in fact, he had dark circles under his eyes, his face was pale, his steps were weak and unsteady, and he looked like he had indulged himself too much.
No, he was overindulging himself.
"So what are you doing locking yourself up in this lab?" Bant asked.
"Why lock yourself in the lab?" Tony asked back, as if wondering why Bant would say such a thing.
He put down the wrench in his hand, pointed his finger above his head, and said unhappily, "It's not like you weren't there when that bighorn brought the news of the war."
Bant was stunned for a second before he realized that the bighorn bull was referring to Loki.
Tony continued, "He said that the Chitauri were the locusts of the universe, leaving nothing behind wherever they went. Interstellar Wars..."
His hands were waving in the air in a disorderly manner. He looked very anxious and uneasy, even suffocated.
"How can I be sure that humans can win this war?"
"The famous Stark has no confidence in his own wisdom?" Bant asked with his arms folded.
"Of course I am confident!"
When it comes to who's the smartest, Tony won't admit defeat.
But he knew better that no matter how smart a person is, he would be limited by the times.
Just like his father Howard Stark never actually discovered a new element, and just like Einstein never actually saw a black hole.
The time for the development of science and technology on Earth is still too short.
“We don’t have time to relax.”
He pinched his brows and lowered his head. At this moment, all the fatigue surged up like a tide, making Tony's head dazed for a moment. He almost fell down, but he still supported himself and stood firm.
"Satellites, energy barriers, space stations... not enough, not enough!"
Tony shook his head vigorously.
For his part, Bant knew the Chitauri's weaknesses.
All the Chitauri are cyborg life forms modified for war. Their consciousness has been linked to the mothership, so as long as the mothership can be destroyed, most of the Chitauri soldiers can be eliminated in one go.
Tony didn't know that.
He imagined that the Earth would face a huge alien empire with countless enemies.
"So what are your plans?"
"I plan to build my own iron army," said Tony.
With a wave of his hand, the design drawings of more than a dozen sets of armor appeared in front of Bant.
"If, I mean if, your energy barrier cannot stop all the enemies, once they break through, then the war may extend to the surface. At that time, we will need enough troops to participate in the battle."
"Let's not talk about this for now..." Bant shook his head, then pointed at the design drawings of several sets of armor and rolled his eyes and said, "Is this also something you designed to deal with the Chitauri?"
Under the designs of the armors, it was written: Anti-Hulk Armor, Anti-Flashstar Armor, Anti-Flame Armor...
And anti-hacking armor is marked under all the armor to ensure that the system cannot be hacked.
Tony waved his hands in panic, but the blueprints showed no response. He could only cough twice awkwardly, then touched his lips quickly.
"Ahem, Jarvis, turn it off!"
"Okay, sir."
Jarvis immediately turned off the projections of all armor design drawings, but it was too late.
"Who are you on guard against?"
Bant was furious. If Tony had only made the design drawings of the anti-alien armor, Bant would have thought it was understandable, after all, Tony didn't know the details of those aliens.
But isn’t system-wide anti-hacking a bit too much?
"It's just in case." Tony quickly argued, "After all, no one knows what will happen in the future. What if one of us is controlled?"
"I think you're the most dangerous of them all."
This is probably another kind of recognition.
But Bant still felt a little unhappy.
After Pepper called him, he rushed over as soon as possible, but Tony actually listed him as the number one target of vigilance.
Tony quickly changed the subject.
"Did you invent the remote control system for the Green Goblin Glider?"
Bant raised an eyebrow.
The glider's Far Advanced Operating System was naturally invented by Bant, but this thing is actually very low in intelligence, at the level of autonomous driving.
“I’ve improved a little bit.”
Tony reached out and pulled back his sleeve, and through his skin Bant could see a transmitter and receiver glowing.
"You implanted it in your body?"
"That's right!"
Tony nodded smugly.
"Now I can use brain waves to remotely control the armor directly."
This is a device that Tony invented around the time of Avengers 1, but it is now a little ahead of the movie universe.
But Bant still shook his head.
"What if someone uses a radio jammer?"
"Your technology is too immature to implant these things into your body."
"I know it's immature, but I'll have to make do with it for now. I've thought about the problem of radio jammers, and I made a shielding device that can block electromagnetic interference."
Then he raised his eyebrows at Bant proudly: "Iron Man will not be defeated by the same move twice."
"A Saint is one who will not be defeated twice."
Bant said.
Then he paused and said in approval: "But it's not bad, right? How many battle armors have you made now?"
"Uh... not even one."
Tony scratched his head.
"so slow?"
"What have you been doing these days?"
"Design drawings," Tony said as a matter of course, "Come on, building a battle armor is not like building Lego, how can it be that simple?"
"Okay, if you have nothing else, go ahead."
He started to chase people away.
Bant didn't forget why Pepper asked him to come here.
"Remain rested. Don't collapse before the Chitauri arrive."
Doesn't that show that the Chitauri are good at shooting?
Tony took a sip of wine, then waved to Bant, indicating: Goodbye.
After Bant left, Tony leaned back in his chair and thought for a long time.
Seeing that he was lost in thought again, Jarvis could not help asking:
"What's the matter, sir?"
"He makes sense." Tony put down his glass and tapped the signal receiver on his wrist through his skin. "The flaw is too serious."
"Wouldn't it be more convenient if I had a stronger artificial intelligence that didn't need me and could think independently, like a human?"
