Chapter Twenty-Six: The Beginning (5,000 Words)

"You're wasting your efforts, Tony. "Looking at Tony, who was still struggling with the hammer, Li Jie couldn't help but say to Tony through www.biquge.info the communication equipment in the submarine.

"This thing is supposed to be a powerful magical item, and it can't be touched by brute force. ”

Although I don't know what the origin of this hammer is, it is estimated that it is mostly the same as Thor's Thunder Hammer, and only those who are recognized can pick it up.

"Well, it does seem so. Tony had already consumed a lot of energy, but the hammer just landed firmly on the seabed without moving.

It doesn't seem like this has anything to do with the weight, it's really a special kind of magic.

Tony has now accepted the premise that there is magic in this world. Or maybe magic seemed to him to be a technology that hadn't been proven yet.

Because the mage's own study also has a very detailed process, although it is a bit of a destiny argument. But in the process of learning, it's scientific, well, or rather magical.

Because it's a completely different set of logic.

For what he doesn't understand, Tony is still willing to learn with an open mind, rather than blindly rejecting and denying, which may be the reason why Tony has been improving.

However, now Tony has undergone a lot of changes in his life because of Li Jie's intervention.

Dr. Ethan hadn't died, and Tony hadn't experienced rake poisoning, and he didn't have the horror of watching himself advance toward his death line every day.

It is even said that because of the involvement of the Osborne Group, the promotion of new energy and the pressure from Congress to ask him to hand over the steel armor are not as great as in the original plot.

Although Tony now knows that he should take on the responsibility of a hero, the flying jump in his personality has always existed.

This is very different from the bitter and hateful Iron Man who was forever insecure in the middle and late stages of the movie in Li Jie's previous life.

"We can't really take this thing with us, but judging by the data from Jarvis's detection, the hammer has been emitting strange radiation. Tony returned to the submarine and looked through the submarine's monitor at the hammer not far away.

"The power of this hammer is huge, but it has not yet been released, otherwise this seabed and the continental shelf here will be shattered by its agitated energy. "Arashi has been by the side of the Ancient One for many years, and has seen many powerful weapons.

Therefore, although Lan did not know the origin of the hammer, he could judge that this hammer contained a huge amount of energy.

"Yes, I agree with that. Tony removed the steel armor's visor. "It's very close to the fluctuations in the silverware that we checked before, which is a little bit different. ”

"We really can't take it, but I don't think Hydra can take it either. Li Jie looked at the hammer that was obviously related to Asgard and said.

Most of the time it's certain that this thing has something to do with the god of fear that Loki said, maybe it's the weapon of the serpent, if it's an artifact of the main god, then the power has been retained for thousands of years, then it can be said that it has passed.

"I'm afraid the purpose of their establishment of this Winter Castle is to study this thing, but I don't know if they have researched anything valuable. Li Jie said as he looked at the ruins on the seabed.

"I don't know what they'll be able to work on, but I think I can study these things properly, if S.H.I.E.L.D. isn't sending someone over. Tony had some eyes on the hammer, it was a legendary artifact, and maybe he could get some inspiration.

"Maybe S.H.I.E.L.D. hasn't come yet, and Hydra is coming again. Li Jie said another possibility. "I wonder if you can put some monitors in here, or even a defensive force. ”

"It shouldn't be a big problem, but if you want to do it secretly without being noticed, then you need Arashi's cooperation. Tony glanced at Arashi, the ability of the Space Gate was too easy to use, much better than his supersonic flight.

He was also able to carry a considerable amount of material to the place silently, and he could use an autonomous robot to seal it off.

Li Jie asked Lan about it, and Master Lan nodded and agreed to cooperate with the action. She didn't really like such a big killing weapon on the earth.

At present, the Ancient One Mage has not returned, and she can't think of a better way to deal with it, the best way is to let her own people grasp this ghost thing first.

"If you're going to study this, I think I can recommend a great scientist to you. Li Jie suddenly thought of the beast Hank.

Although his last conversation with the professor was a bit mysterious, it seems that they have studied this strange radiant energy as well.

It's not even the first time that mutants have gone out of control. Perhaps this research can solve the problem of mutants getting out of control.

After all, Hank's scientific talent is not below Tony, and even surpasses it in some aspects, so Li Jie has such a proposal.

"Of course the other party is a mutant, if you don't mind. Of course, if you don't like it, I won't give him anything here. Li Jie still respects Tony's opinion in this regard, after all, the two are just a cooperative relationship.

"Mutants, mutants. Recently, I've been most annoyed with mutants, and my new energy factory, overseas branch, has also been attacked by guys who are suspected of mutants. Tony said with some unhappiness. "Don't mention mutants to me just yet, at least not for this time. ”

Well, Li Jie can only obediently shut up. However, when it comes to new energy, Li Jie thinks of a very important thing.

"Tony, can you guarantee that the Ark Reactor is currently the only one you can master?" Li Jie thought of a small villain, a little villain who was completely incomparable to the boss of Iron Man's later game.

He doesn't seem to be very good in the movie, but in this world, especially after Li Jie has seen the impact of new energy, he doesn't think that this little villain will be dealt with so easily.

The villain, Li Jie, remembers that in the end, he made armor that resembles Iron Man, although it was produced by borrowing resources from an arms company.

In the movie, it seems that those imitation war machines of steel armor are the protagonists. But in this world, Li Jie knows deeply that what is really valuable is the small ark reactor made by the villain.

Even if the version he made is relatively simple and the most primitive version, this cannot hide the importance of this new energy source.

Is it really hard to make a steel armor after all? Not necessarily, it may not be as powerful as Tony's design, but the war machine is quite sufficient.

The real difficulty was to provide the Iron Warframe with enough powerful energy in such a limited space. Currently, only Tony in the world can produce this energy.

This is also the real secret that Iron Man is unique. Li Jie didn't want the ark reactor made by the villain to fall into the wrong hands.

Like Hydra or something, that's a very troublesome thing.

"I don't think anyone else has the ability to master this technique, so why do you ask?" Tony asked a little strangely.

"It's nothing, I'm just worried that your technology will fall into the hands of someone who cares, you must know that technological weapons can be mass-produced. Li Jie replied to Tony, and at the same time thought that maybe he should find out the villain first.

"It's not that easy. Tony smiled. "It is inevitable that new energy will replace old energy, but the Ark reactor still has drawbacks. ”

"If you do a very large cluster power supply, then the cost of using the ark is too high. Tony said as he operated the submarine, and it looked like his conversation box was opening up a bit.

"But I think you should have thought of a solution?" Li Jie knew what Tony wanted to hear now, and it was okay to give this playboy a proper cheer and brush up on his favor.

"Yes, helium-3. Here's my solution. Of all nuclear fusion materials, helium-3 is free of any contamination and no radiation. It is a natural solution that is most suitable for large-scale cluster energy supply. Tony looked a little smug.

"Stark Group is always improving, never standing still. We are going to lead humanity into a new era. ”

"Helium-3, I haven't heard much of this thing, it sounds like a raw material for nuclear fuel? Why didn't anyone else think of it?

"No, he-3 has been known for a long time, but no one else can do it. Because the reserves of helium-3 on the earth are so small that they are almost negligible. Tony explained why.

"So you've found a solution?"

"Yes, there is a lot of helium-3 on the moon, but we have been struggling with how to mine helium-3 from the moon, and the thrust of conventional solid rockets cannot travel to and from the moon. In addition, it is difficult for machinery and equipment to obtain a continuous energy supply on the moon for mining work. ”

"The disadvantages of traditional fossil energy are now clear. Tony said, a smile on his face.

"But the Ark reactor I built solves all this, and the new rocket of the Stark Group is already on the production line and will be assembled soon. ”

"Rockets that use the Ark reactor as a support have more load and thrust, and they abandon the expensive one-time booster rockets. I've got the approval, and it won't be long before Stark Group rockets will be on the moon. ”

"Based on the world's energy consumption, only 100 tons of helium-3 can meet the world's energy demand for a year. Tony had a smile on his face. "The future of the planet will be much better, and we will no longer have to worry about high energy consumption and high pollution. The Ark reactor can be used as a solution for small-unit cluster energy supply, and Helium-3 will become a super-large-scale energy supply solution. ”

"Stark Group is going to lead the world, and I'm going to be a great man to change it. Tony's ambition was written all over his face.

Looking at the proud expression on Tony's face, Li Jie was silently speechless. Tony was absolutely right in what he did, but the consequences of it all were hard to predict.

If the emergence of the Ark reactor only makes the traditional energy industry nervous, because the high cost of Ark Energy cannot completely replace traditional energy for at least a long time.

This allows these old enterprises to have time and capital for industrial upgrading or transformation.

But by the time Tony Stark unveiled the Helium-3 banner, the death penalty had already been pronounced against all other energy industries around the world.

Petroleum energy, how much terrible pollution is caused every year. How much public resources does coal energy consume, and even requires countless people to risk their lives to extract it.

The inefficiency of wind energy, the low output of photovoltaic energy and the requirements of geographical conditions, the availability of geothermal resources, and the instability of tidal energy.

There is also the traditional field of nuclear power, which is like a Pandora's box, once the box that locks the devil is opened, it will cause a catastrophe for mankind, and history has fully proved this.

The combination of Helium-3 and the Ark will consign all of this to the dustbin of history.

If traditional energy companies want to survive, they must also find a way to mine helium-3, but if they want to mine helium-3, they must first go to the moon.

As Tony said, conventionally powered rockets are basically out of order when they fly to the moon, and there is no way to carry dozens or even hundreds of tons of helium-3 back to Earth.

In this way, if you want to mine helium-3, you must first have an ark reactor.

It's almost an endless loop, and on the face of it, Stark is the only one that can go to the moon and mine helium-3.

Li Jie was muttering to himself in his heart, Tony Stark, you are trying to wipe out the traditional energy industry.

Did Tony ever think about the consequences of him doing this, maybe someone as smart as the other would have thought about it a long time ago. But he was so confident that he thought he was in control.

The butterfly wings instigated by Li Jie changed Tony's fate, and also caused his character to not go to bitterness and hatred as before.

At one point, Li Jie felt that he had made a mistake by telling Tony about the replacement of the rake element in advance, and perhaps only by actually facing death could he really change Tony's character.

But now it's too late to regret it, and when the wheels of history begin to turn, everything that stands in its way will be crushed.

Perhaps the new energy storm set off by the Ark reactor is now just the tip of the iceberg.

Larger thunderstorm clouds, on the other hand, accumulate more and more in the brewing of the confident Tony Stark, becoming thicker and thicker, and becoming more and more violent.

A war without gunpowder smoke may have quietly begun at this moment. Although there is no smoke and artillery fire, this war may be even more cruel and bloody.

New York, the night is dark.

The S.H.I.E.L.D. dormitory building is already quiet, and the work of S.H.I.E.L.D. is very busy, and many agents basically fall asleep once they have time to rest.

At the time when everyone was supposed to rest, there was the sound of bumping boxing and a man's heavy breathing in the gym in the dormitory building.

Steve Rogers didn't know how many punching bags he had broken, but he had twenty of them anyway.

He wasn't going to rest until he broke all the punching bags.

Seventy years later, the recovery is not good, and he is not feeling well these days. Seventy years have passed, and his former lover, Peggy Carter, has become a gray-haired old man.

Although his eyes were still bright and full of affection, the trembling hands could no longer be raised to caress his face.

At that moment, Rogers felt uncomfortable when he saw Peggy, and even had tears in his eyes, for the sake of his lost love.

Steve Rogers, Captain America. A beautiful aura hung over his head, especially after all seventy years. This aura not only did not retreat from its own light, but became more dazzling because of time.

More than once, he felt that he was out of touch with the times, he had never seen a touchscreen computer, he had never seen a car traveling at 400 kilometers per hour.

Aircraft capable of stealth and missiles capable of tracking the enemy, all this he had never seen before.

He hadn't even seen a vending machine before.

The weapons he once used, the M1 Garand rifle and the Thompson assault rifle, are now mostly kept in museums, except for a few nostalgic ones.

Including himself, Captain America should actually be placed in a museum.

Rogers didn't know what else he could do in this day and age, maybe he should find a farm to work as a cowboy, or to work as an artist at the newly formed Marvel Company.

Before becoming a Super Soldier, Steve Rogers was also an artist, and his comics were serialized in New York newspapers.

When Nick said he needed to form the Avengers, Rogers hesitated.

The current form of war is different, completely different from seventy years ago, and he needs to learn from scratch thoroughly.

But Nick's Avengers plan was too far ahead and didn't give Rogers enough time to study, so he was sent on his first mission.

Perhaps wanting to prove that he wasn't an old man who should be sent to the museum, Rogers pushed a little too hard.

The first mission ended in complete failure without any useful information. Unbeknownst to Rogers, this was all part of Nick's plan.

Rogers has a lot of distress about the failure of the mission, the aging of his lover, and the extreme discomfort of life after seventy years.

Captain America is an honor and a heavy burden, and no one can understand the weight of Rogers' burden without putting this burden on his shoulders.

When the last punching bag was also broken by Rogers' heavy punch, Rogers suddenly found that on the side of the gym, Colson in a nightgown was standing there smiling.

With two steaming drinks in his hand, he was speaking to Rogers with the kind smile of an insurance salesman. "Need a drink? Hot milk to help you sleep. ”

Colson handed Rogers a glass of hot milk and continued. "Captain, do you want to talk?" (To be continued.) )
