Chapter 5 For the sake of peace

Dr. Ethan, a good scientist, is also a good man. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoFor Tony Sterke, without his help, there would be no new life for Tony, and the birth of Iron Man would not be possible.

At the lowest point in his life, this Dr. Ethan, who was born in Central Asia, gave Tony hope to live. It was also in that besieged cave that Tony finally figured out what he needed for the first time.

Although they quarreled later because of new energy issues, Ethan finally chose to return to his hometown to help his hometown resume construction and production. But the pivotal role he played in Tony's life is self-evident.

But now he has become a puppet under Zhang Tong.

This matter still needs to start with Tony being trapped in Afghanistan. Captured by the Ten Rings and freedom fighters and trapped in Afghanistan, Tony Stark researched the first Steel Warframe, MK1, in that inconspicuous little cave.

In the original story, the fragments of this armor would be obtained by Oberdia to develop Iron Man's first villain boss: the Iron Overlord.

But because of Li Jie's intervention, things have changed a lot. Because the vampire food incident was revealed, organizations that cooperated with vampires, such as the Ten Rings and the Freedom Fighters, began to send more people to capture humans.

As a result, Tony's defense was slackened. This prevented Tony from fleeing in a mess like in the original story, and even Ethan died in that nameless cave.

Tony had enough time to set everything up, and finally calmly escaped from Afghanistan with Ethan and returned to the United States.

Not even a fragment of MK1 remained, and Obedia had no chance to imitate the Iron Overlord, and finally died at the hands of several members of the Ten Rings, becoming Tony's good uncle for life.

And when Iron Man began to rise, especially after the emergence of new energy, Zhang Tong began to investigate the appearance of Iron Man, especially after he knew about the kidnapping of Tony Stark at the Afghan branch base.

Because Tony destroyed the entire base before leaving, and at the same time did not leave any living holes, which made Zhang Tong's investigation work not go smoothly.

But after a long investigation, he still found a useful information, that is, Tony Stark was being held with a man named Ethan at that time.

And according to Zhang Tong's speculation, it is very likely that this person named Ethan participated in the research project of the entire Tony's steel armor and the manufacture of the first Ark reactor!

Zhang Tong's speculation is not wrong, in fact, Ethan was not only involved in the design of Tony's first set of battle armor. Because he didn't die, but followed Tony back to New York for most of the year.

So in fact, Ethan was also involved in the research and development of the MK2 to MK7. Even Tony discussed the future research direction together, and expanded the model of the entire Iron Man family to MK15.

Because Ethan is Tony's most trusted person, many of Tony's designs are not reserved for him. You know, even the first Ark energy reactor was made by Ethan himself, and Tony was more on the side to give technical guidance because of his injury.

So Ethan's mastery is far beyond Zhang Tong's imagination.

When he visited Ethan, he simply wanted to ask about the manufacture of the Iron Man MK1 and the manufacturing method of the Ark Energy Reactor. Because Zhang Tong is not sure how much Ethan can master.

However, Ethan's mouth was harder than Zhang Tong imagined. This forced Zhang Tong to use the power of his magic ring [spirit]. It's a kind of magic ring that can control the minds of others.

But lately, the Manchurian adults have rarely used it. There is no other reason, because the use of the Spirit Ring is a burden on mental power. Over the years, in order to set up a scientific research team that can mass-produce the Flying Dragon Army, Zhang Tong has used kidnapping, coercion, and lure to get many scientists around the world.

But how can a selfish tyrant ensure that his secrets are not revealed? Those scientists do not necessarily bow down to Zhang Tong. The Ten Rings are not hydras after all.

Red Skull's Hydra began to emerge with the help of the Nazis before World War II, and has been in business for more than 80 years and nearly 90 years, and it is deeply rooted. At the same time, there is a set of ways to train their own scientists. Because Red Skull is a brilliant scientist in his own right.

You're going to let Zhang Tong play this game? I'm sorry, he can't play it. He could use his Xuan Gong to instruct those elite fighters and thugs in the Ten Rings Gang, but when he engaged in scientific research, what he learned back then was more than a hundred years behind this world.

But even a hundred years ago, what he learned was only about the study of emperors and the art of commanding troops. How did you ask him to train a group of scientists of his own in thirty or forty years?

Everyone has their own strengths, and Master Man is a genius in martial arts, but don't count on him in science.

So those scientists who were brought in by him did not necessarily obey him, but Zhang Tong needed to rely on the strength of these people. After all, this is not more than a hundred years ago.

As a result, Zhang Tong's [Spirit] Ring began to exert its power, and almost all scientists would be brainwashed by him before entering the Ten Rings Gang, so that they would be loyal to Zhang Tong.

The power of the Ring is so strong that almost no one can resist Zhang Tong's brainwashing. But there is still a drawback here, that is, every pair of people is brainwashed, then it will consume some of Zhang Tong's spiritual power. Although the mental power consumed is very small for Zhang Tong.

And because of the relationship between Xuan Gong and his great achievements, Zhang Tong's spiritual power is already very strong. But this can't stand Zhang Tong's brainwashing of so many scientific researchers over the past few decades!

There are also the high-level and elite fighters of the Ten Rings Gang, which need to be brainwashed and controlled. This is an increasingly serious burden for Zhang Tong. Usually it doesn't appear, but if you encounter an opponent who is proficient in psychic invasion (such as Professor X) during the battle, then you have no ability to resist at all.

Zhang Tong obviously wouldn't leave such a big flaw for himself. So under Zhang Tong's painstaking meditation, he finally found a way to achieve both.

That is to sow the seeds of the soul and hypnotize and brainwash the other party in an inducing way, so that he hardly needs to pay any mental power to deliberately manipulate the other party.

For example, he used this method when dealing with Ethan.

When Ethan was controlled by his hypnosis, Zhang Tong asked, "What are you holding on and afraid of?"

"The war brought about by new energy. Dr. Ethan tilted his head, his eyes blank.

"Who brought the new energy and the war?" Zhang Tong said with some amusement.

"Iron Man, Tony Stark. Ethan replied truthfully.

"Then destroy Iron Man, destroy his new energy, and I can help you. A ring on Zhang Tong's hand shimmered with a dazzling red light.

And as Zhang Tong spoke, the red light was imprinted on Ethan's forehead, and the seed was planted.

Zhang Tong became Ethan's most trusted leader because they had a common purpose, a common goal, to eliminate Tony Stark and eliminate new energy.

But it is not easy to eliminate Iron Man, because he has the financial resources brought by new energy and advanced steel armor.

Zhang Tong needed the help of Ethan, who had participated in the manufacture and design of the earliest new energy and steel armor.

Ethan couldn't figure out how Tony Sterke's Ark Reactor worked, or that there were no more than five in the world. One of them is dead (Ivan) and one is basically dead (Ivan's father).

But that didn't stop him from following the example of the cat and the tiger. Ethanzhi participated in the development of the first generation of Ark reactor in the cave. This is the most initial stage of the entire Ark reactor, which can only supply MK1 with less than 15 minutes.

But this did not prevent Zhang Tong from being excited when he learned the news! If Tony was killed, the moment when the world's attention shifted to Latvia, he could develop the ark silently, then what would happen to the world?

Needless to say, this joint is not much to say.

Therefore, Ethan has been reused by Zhang Tong like never before, because not only is the primary Ark reactor that Ethan has mastered, but he also has a full set of design drawings from MK1 to MK7, and even the experimental MK8 to MK15 that have not been finalized.

These are important resources. What is Tony kidnapped by the base in Afghanistan?

And Ethan has the best design in Tony's life. Now that the Wyvern Force is nearing formation, Zhang Tong can allocate most of his resources to Ethan's hands.

Because of the control of the [Spirit] Ring, Zhang Tong was not worried about Ethan's betrayal.

………………

On the ocean, Zhang Tong had a video call with Ethan in the captain's room.

"You mean you want to set up an open technology company?" Zhang Tong said noncommittally as he sat in his chair.

"Yes, Lord Man. Ethan, on the other side of the video, said respectfully: "The benefits of oil and energy are getting less and less, and we need to find a new way out, while we still have money in hand." ”

Ethan is right, Zhang Tong has accumulated a lot of money in the oil trade over the years.

"Fintech ventures, these are things that pay off quickly. Through financial means, sometimes just a gimmick can make us a lot of money. Ethan said seriously to Zhang Tong.

"To eliminate the new energy war, we need to have enough capital. To deal with Iron Man, we also need to get enough new technology. Most importantly, the Primordial Ark was able to provide very little energy, and to improve it and get it to the level that Iron Man is now, we would need a huge amount of money that would be difficult to sustain while relying on increasingly scarce oil revenues. ”

Ethan's words made Zhang Tong a little moved. Because the Ark was not invented by Ethan after all, you want him to improve the original Ark to become the first Ark (made by Ivan), or even want to become the second Ark (which Tony uses now). Then a long-term and huge financial investment is required.

"The Tramac Oil Company (the legal oil trafficking group organized by Zhang Tong on the surface) set up by the Ten Commandments Gang is already a thing of the past. Let's let go as soon as we can now. Ethan continued.

"I still have a lot of friends and know a lot of people in the scientific community, and we can set up a new technology investment group quietly, and we will make great achievements!"

Zhang Tong was a little moved by Ethan's words, he thought for a long time and said, "In this case, Doctor, you can build a company's skeleton first." I will allocate enough funds for you to operate. ”

"Thank you very much. Ethan nodded at Zhang Tong and said.

When the two were about to turn off the video call, Zhang Tong suddenly asked: "Doctor, have you decided on the name of the newly established company?"

"I've thought about it. Ethan replied.

"What's it called?"

"Zodiac!" (note)

Dr. Ethan turned off the video, glanced at his hands with flashing red eyes, and whispered, "For peace." ”

Zhang Tong turned off the video call and stood up, looking at the calm sea from the captain's room, everything was starting to develop in a good direction, and he felt that he was winning!

…………

At the end of the conversation between Zhang Tong and Ethan, the largest riot in history broke out in a state prison in California. Someone is organizing a jailbreak!

…………

And in New York, the plane carrying the Divine Spear Bureau [Fengshen Squad] has finally arrived.

PS: Zodiac, an organization in Marvel Comics. Originally, it belonged to the same Hydra as AIM, but Zodiac didn't know that his boss was Hydra.

Here I will strip this tissue of the hydra, after all, I think many people have never heard of the zodiac, and forcibly pressing on the hydra does not work well.

SO~, leave this organization to Dr. Ethan!
