Chapter 70 - 69: A... Hammer?
Chapter 70: Chapter 69: A... Hammer?
As soon as Nick Fury returned, Maria Hill immediately ran over: "Director Fury, did you hear the thunder just now?"
Nick Fury looked at Hill.
He immediately analyzed other information in the other party's words.
The sound of thunder was very strange, and many people must have heard it.
He thought it was just ordinary thunder.
Immediately afterwards, Hill handed the operation tablet into his hands: "Look at this, sir."
On screen is SHIELD's high-altitude detection satellite, which is used specifically to detect extraterrestrial intrusion.
There was no need to launch this satellite, but Nick Fury insisted on launching it.
After all, he had experienced a real alien invasion in the past.
It's just that this matter has been buried deep in his heart all along, and he rarely talks about it with others.
Even at the highest levels, few people know about this.
One is because Earth at that time had no means of extraterrestrial detection, and the other is that the alien fleet had just arrived at Earth's gates.
The contents of the tablet were exactly at the time the thunder sounded just now.
Immediately afterwards, the entire sky was covered in thunder.
But the careful Nick Fury discovered that there were no clouds around when these rays appeared.
This is completely against natural common sense.
Even if those thunders appeared suddenly.
After the thunder, a white shadow flew out from the thunder and fell straight to the ground.
Since the speed was so high, it was impossible to see what was flying.
"What was that?"
Nick Fury questioned.
Hill gently slid the screen: "After the restoration technology, we got the approximate audio and video."
"The truth is that it was a hammer."
"A... Hammer?"
Nick Fury has zoomed in on the image, no matter what angle you look at it from.
That really was a hammer.
A hammer that came from space to Earth with thunder.
Nick Fury's first thought was an alien invasion: "Where is that hammer now?"
"According to calculations, the landing site should be in northern Norway."
After careful thought, Nick Fury asked, "Where is Phil Coulson now?"
"He is currently in the Middle East on a mission to observe Bruce Banner."
"Bruce Banner is doing well at the moment, and there are no signs that he will become the Hulk."
Hill added something about the Hulk.
"Send Agent Barton and have him take a small team of researchers there."
"Is Agent Barton alone enough?"
Hill asked back.
After all, this is something they have never been exposed to, isn't it enough to just bring in an advanced agent?
At this moment, a female voice sounded behind the two: "Believe in Barton's ability."
The two looked back and it was none other than Black Widow.
Black Widow went to Nick Fury and handed him a document.
"I suggest you take a look at the mission report this time."
Nick Fury accepted, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes, but it wasn't for Black Widow.
Instead, it was about his recent failure.
In Tony's case, you could say he was knocked down.
He didn't want to read this report at all.
So naturally, Black Widow's suggestion was ignored: "Agent Romanoff, go and continue your previous mission."
"Let Agent Barton go over there."
"Understood, I will not interfere with your mission."
Black Widow smiled and walked out of the two's sight.
"Send Agent Barton."
Nick Fury repeated it to Hill, who then said, "Okay, I'll make it work."
"Before that, let's see Kingpin first."
I was going before, but it was delayed because of Captain America, a large amount of Vibranium was taken to New York.
Nick Fury had to be careful.
Regarding the many uses of Vibranium, Howard has already studied it extensively before.
One of them is that it can be used as a highly lethal weapon.
A short time later, Hill spoke to Nick Fury again: "We have discovered Kingpin's whereabouts, sir."
"Half an hour ago, he had just left an animation company."
"He was talking about a cooperation to create an animated film."
Nick Fury was immediately surprised: "What?"
If she had said that Kingpin had killed some people, he would have been able to accept it, but was Kingpin talking about a movie?
Was he after some actress?
But that's not right. There shouldn't be any actresses in that place.
Did Kingpin fall in love with a man?
"Could this batch of Vibranium have something to do with this cooperation?"
Maria Hill spoke.
Nick Fury looked at her speechless.
Vibranium being used to make movies.
That would just be a waste!
Right now, even the world's biggest box office can't buy much Vibranium.
Hill also realized how limited his thinking was from Nick Fury's gaze.
"Find his location, we must talk to him."
"Understood..."
Hill took action immediately.
------
Tony's House.
Tony, who is enjoying a candlelit dinner with Pepper, is telling those stupid jokes that only he can understand.
Pepper also smiled cooperatively.
Just as Tony was about to say something, the restaurant door opened automatically, and Happy walked in with something that looked like an envelope in his hand.
Tony could see that Happy looked unhappy.
He immediately joked, "What's wrong with you, Happy?"
"Are you in love again?"
Happy didn't want to talk to Tony, he still thought she was fired for no reason.
Even though he knows the reason, the obstacle in his heart is still a little difficult to overcome.
From Harpy's point of view, he was about to win her over.
Just a little bit more!
"Tony, I said I don't want to talk about this."
"OK!"
"Originally, I wanted to tell you to go to SHIELD and arrange a meeting with that Agent Romanoff."
"Really?"
Happy was very happy, but he immediately realized that Tony was playing with him.
Pepper gave Tony a blank look, and Tony just ate a bite of steak and said nothing.
Then Happy handed Pepper the invitation letter he had in his hands.
"Hammer Industries will be holding a press conference tomorrow evening, and they hope that representatives from Stark Industries will be able to attend."
"That invitation is not for me."
Pepper handed it to Tony.
Tony immediately rejected: "No, no, this is for you.
"Then you better go."
Tony swore that if he saw that guy again, he wouldn't be able to resist punching him.
That guy was just imitating him.
Pepper opened the invitation letter and took a look, knowing that this kind of business activity was inevitable for her.
"You're coming with me tomorrow night, Happy."
"No problem, Miss Potts.."
"Do you want to sit down and eat together?"
Tony said with a rare invitation.
But Happy knows his tricks: "No, thanks."
"I ate when I arrived."
After speaking, he left Tony's house and drove home alone, in a bad mood.
------
Finishing dinner, Tony returned to his newly renovated lab: "JARVIS, are the preparations for the Mark 6 finished yet?"
[Everything is ready, do you want to test it Sir?]
"But of course, let's go.
Tony was at the dressing table, and several robotic arms donned the new Mark armor for Tony under the control of JARVIS.
As soon as he put it on, Tony could feel the difference in the new armor.
He immediately went up to the sky and began to enjoy it.
"Maybe I should go to Arthur's house."
"I believe he is also eating at this moment."
Tony turned and flew towards Arthur's house.
He talked about relaxing, but in reality he really wanted to drink milk tea at Arthur's house.
brief.
Tony landed on the lawn of Arthur Mansion, but as soon as he landed, something embarrassing happened.
He found that his armor was out of control.
"JARVIS, are you still there?"
"JARVIS!"
He couldn't get in touch with JARVIS
Now Tony was nervous. Could it be that the armor is offline?
How can there be a bug like this?
impossible!
With its genius design, how could there be such a bug?
Fortunately, he arrived at Arthur's house.
"Erm..."
"Arthur! I need help!"
Tony tried not to speak too loudly, but made sure Arthur could hear him.
After all, this kind of thing is very embarrassing.
The fewer people who know about this, the better.
Soon, Tony heard Arthur's laughing voice: "Okay, Tony isn't malicious.
"Let him go."
Hold on!
Tony immediately thought of the problem: could it be the Red Queen?
That is, the moment he landed, the armor's system was hacked, and JARVIS was forced offline.
How can this be?
Last time, Tony also saw the Red Queen.
With Tony's blessing of his own pride, the Red Queen should not be stronger than JARVIS
But now...
Soon, JARVIS returned to the system.
Without Tony asking any questions, JARVIS explained on his own: [Sir, I've been forced offline just now.]
really.
The armor was restored and Tony took off his mask.
Finally, he saw Arthur standing in front of the house, Gwen, Jean and the red queen who looked like a little girl.
The moment he saw her, Tony's pupils shrank.
illusion!
It must be an illusion!
What was he dreaming about?
I saw anger in the eyes of an AI.
In fact, the Red Queen was really angry, angry because Tony walked into Arthur's mansion without saying hello.
If it weren't for Tony being Arthur's friend, he would have blown up his armor the moment he hit the ground...
"Come in, Tony."
"Thank you, Arthur."
When Tony was about to enter, Arthur looked at Tony: "Can't you take off your armor and come in?"
"Please, I haven't researched the auto-wear function yet, but I will try this function in the next version."
"So now all I can do is..."
Arthur remembered, Tony was in New York
It was only in the future that armor that could be used without support was developed.
"Then come in."
Tony swore he was right this time.
He saw disgust in the red queen's eyes!
That's right, disgusting!
Arthur entered the room first, followed by Jean, the red queen and Gwen walked forward with great curiosity.
She patted Tony's chest lightly.
He made a metallic sound and then said with some disgust, "It's very strong, but it's very bulky."
Tony's self-confidence was completely shaken.
America's top executives have conspired to get whatever they want, but their trust has always been tested here.
never mind!
It's better not to get angry, just drink a cup of milk tea to suppress the shock.
In the living room, Tony sat down using his bulky Mark 6, grabbed a few cups of milk tea and placed them on the table.
After Tony took a sip, the depression that had just appeared was eliminated.
"Arthur, has your Red Queen's level increased?"
"I could see emotions in her."
Arthur smiled.
As expected of Tony, it was just a look.
How could he not find out?
That look of disgust.
"Yes, she collected a large amount of data from the Internet for her own data and evolution supplement.
Tony nodded, it wasn't a bad idea.
Although JARVIS can also search for data, Tony never thought that the data provided on the Internet will have its own benefits.
Looking at the Red Queen's appearance now, it seems that she has become small.
After returning, he must redesign JARVIS
After all, in this regard he doesn't want to lose to anyone.
"Tony, what are you doing here?"
Tony initially wanted to say that he was there to show off his new armor, but he remembered the scene at the door just now.
He doesn't want to talk about it.
Your armor was subdued in an instant, what else is there to show off?
It's also a good thing that Arthur and the Red Queen aren't malicious if the person restraining the armor is their enemy.
He was a living target, standing right there.
"It's nothing, I miss your milk tea."
As he spoke, Tony took a big sip, showing an expression of pleasure, as if he was smoking marijuana.
If he hadn't analyzed the ingredients, Tony himself would have wondered if Arthur had added ingredients.
Arthur didn't object to Tony coming here to drink, because Tony was also one of his few friends in this world.
"Red Queen, do you have something to say?"
Arthur noticed that the red queen was looking at Tony's armor and seemed to have something to say, but didn't want to say it.
Tony immediately spoke up, "I think it must be because my armor technology exceeded her imagination."
"So she wants to analyze my armor and then make a set for you."
[No, I was just thinking that you won't get tired using such simple things.]
Tony nearly spit out his milk tea.
Low level?
His latest model of Mark Armor was called low-level by the Red Queen.
Arthur also shook his head and smiled wryly.
He didn't expect the Red Queen to be so direct.
Seeing his painstaking effort being ridiculed, Tony suddenly became excited: "Tell me, why is my armor so low-level?"
The Red Queen looked at Arthur and asked her for advice.
Because Tony is Arthur's friend after all.
At Arthur's nod, the Red Queen opened her hand and released the armor design.
This is what she just analyzed, not obtained by hacking JARVIS
Although Gwen is a great student, seeing this kind of thing related to mechanics was also a headache for her, so she simply didn't read it.
The Red Queen pointed to the chest of the battle armor: [The only remarkable thing is this energy device, the substance inside it I can't find matching elements on Earth.]
Even though he was praised, Tony was not happy.
Because this thing was invented by Howard.
Immediately afterwards, the Red Queen began to say that it was not enough. The summary is that the armor is too heavy, which affects mobility, too many artillery weapons and equipment, and there are also deficiencies in energy propulsion...
For half an hour, Tony's Mark 6 was criticized by the Red Queen.
The Red Queen almost blurted out: [What horrible battle armor!]
Tony who was normally proud.
He became depressed for the first time in his life.
And worse, he even got depressed in his own field...
But the Red Queen isn't just good at scolding people, and soon she started giving Tony advice on modifications.
This way, because of the Red Queen's unintentional move.
The strongest Iron Man in history will be born soon...
(End of Chapter)
[In fact, I can easily imagine him using the mark 50]
