Chapter 208: The Past Past

In the gamma bomb experiments of that year, there was a contradiction between Tony Stark and Bruce Banner. And this contradiction is quite intense, and the two have clashed in the laboratory more than once.

And the reason for the outbreak of this conflict is simple, because Banner looks down on Tony Stark, who is a daily alcoholic. Well, actually, most people don't like alcoholics, especially drunkards who go crazy when they get drunk, right?

So it's not hard to see why Dr. Banner hated Tony Stark at the time. At the time, Dr. Banner thought that Tony was just a second lord who lived on a few cleverness and his father's legacy. He wasn't a serious scientist at all.

This kind of disdain is on Dr. Banner's face, and when has the proud Tony Stark been slapped in the face like this? He can't stand Banner's cynicism.

Therefore, in the gamma bomb experiment at that time, it was said that the two joined forces, but the actual situation was still their own thing. Or, to put it simply, Dr. Banner doesn't allow Tony Stark to interfere with his experiments.

"There's no way I'm going to let a drunkard touch my papers, it's non-negotiable!" Dr. Banner said at the time. With Tony's personality, you can predict how bad his face was when he heard this.

So he simply ignored Dr. Banner later. Okay, you're awesome, you're powerful, you're invincible in the world! You're so powerful, you're going to make a gamma bomb by yourself!

Tony waits for Dr. Banner to make a fool of himself with the mindset of watching the joke. Because he had read the information and knew very well how difficult this plan was. Dr. Banner didn't have a smart enough helper to help him solve those complex algorithmic problems. Of course, when Tony says "smart enough helper", he means someone with the same IQ as himself or Banner.

Only people of their caliber could corroborate each other, and the researchers in the other labs couldn't point out Banner's mistakes. Because their level is not up to this level at all.

Tony was waiting for Banner to beg him when he was cornered, when he was pretending to be hard in front of Banner and then slapping Banner in the face.

Tony drank the ale, thinking about these things.

Just as he was drinking wine and wandering his life, there was suddenly bad news ahead. "Dr. Banner has broken through the bottleneck of Phase 3 and the project is ready to start!"

Poof~!Tony squirted out all the ale. "How is it possible? How can that arrogant fool accomplish this without my help? Shouldn't he have fallen to his knees in front of me and begged me to help him?

A half-drunk Tony thought so, he didn't believe Banner could do the experiment on his own. Or rather, they don't want to believe that Banner can finish it, because if Banner does, then it proves that Banner is smarter than himself.

It doesn't matter if there is Tony Stark or not!

For Tony Stark at the time, this matter was intolerable. Nearly ten years ago, Tony was young, young and vigorous to the point of arrogance. Coupled with an excessive addiction to alcohol, Tony's mind is filled with all sorts of strange fantasies.

At some point, Tony will even think that he is the protagonist of this world, that the world should revolve around him, that he is the center of the earth and even the universe, and that he is the child of destiny!

Well, Tony Stark might be taking his pills. But that's exactly what he was in at the time.

So when he couldn't communicate with Dr. Banner (Tony didn't want to communicate with him, and Banner didn't want to pay attention to him), Tony chose to sneak into the lab and steal Dr. Banner's information.

Because the experimental data is already available, the gamma bomb has entered the practical testing stage. The laboratory as a repository of theoretical data is not so important, and Tony, as an insider, has easy access to Dr. Banner's materials anyway.

"There's got to be a problem, there's got to be a problem! There's got to be something wrong! You're waiting to see Bruce Banner, I'm going to find out and slap you in the face!" Tony Stark started to check Banner's experimental data.

Just as Tony began to check the various data, Banner had already informed the military general, General Ross, that he could set the parameters of the bomb.

In fact, the manufacture of this gamma bomb uses a modular design, which can be considered an innovation. Except for the core architecture itself, everything else can be added or subtracted.

This makes it easy to expand the bomb from tactical to strategic or vice versa. The advantage of this design is that the entire bomb becomes flexible and can be adjusted according to the different operational purposes. The most important thing is that maintenance costs are significantly reduced, which is crucial.

You know, storing nuclear weapons is very expensive, and you don't just have to build them and put them there. In the case of the United States, although it has the world's largest stockpile of atomic bombs, it does not have any hydrogen bombs in its stockpiles (excluding micro and small tactical grades for small targets).

Because it is very troublesome to store hydrogen bombs, because of the problem of hydrogen bomb configuration, it requires a lot of money to maintain. There is only one country in the world that still has a perennial stockpile of strategic-grade hydrogen bombs, and that is China across the West Coast. This is one of the reasons why China and the United States have been in a delicate position.

Although China is not worth mentioning compared to the United States in terms of the number of atomic bombs, because of the different configurations of hydrogen bombs, hydrogen bombs can be stored as armaments for a long time. China has also become the only country in the world with a long-term stockpile of strategic-grade hydrogen bombs.

Other countries, including the United States, need to use and make. The relative power of the atomic bomb and the hydrogen bomb is not comparable, especially when it comes to deterrence at the strategic level. It is also because of this that the two countries in the Pacific have maintained a delicate balance of force.

The U.S. top brass is fed up with this feeling of not being in control of themselves, and the modular design of the gamma bomb is a way out for them to seek strategic-grade weapon improvements.

Because of the design of the module, the gamma bomb of the third stage was assembled particularly quickly. During Tony's two consecutive nights of staying up late to review the data, the third stage of the gamma bomb had been assembled and delivered to the blast center at the explosion test site, ready to start the test explosion the next day.

Six hours before the test explosion, Tony Stark finally got up from his desk. He was shocked: "Bruce Banner, this madman! He added a suppressor to the gamma bomb to control its power, but he stupidly missed the scale effect!"

"Compared to the scale of the third phase of the strategic-class gamma bomb experiment, this suppressor will be the catalyst for the entire bomb! Its power could kill half of New Mexico!" Tony got the result, his hands shaking.

I don't know if it's because I'm scared or because I've drunk too much.

"No, I'm going to inform him!" At this point, Tony couldn't care about his personal feud with Banner, because if the bomb exploded, it would be a national disaster.

"Damn, he won't answer my calls, he actually blacklisted me?!" Tony couldn't get through to Banner, he could only send a message to Banner pointing out that there was a problem with his experimental data.

Tony was waiting for Banner to reply to his message. But on the other end of the phone, Banner, who had been working for many days and was finally able to sleep in bed, took a look at the phone after hearing the phone.

"Who's the news?" said Betty as she pestered Banner, whispering softly.

Banner deleted the message with a blank face: "It's nothing, it's just a boring person." Maybe it's his bared ass more mocking gesture when he's drunk, there's no need to look at it. ”

Banner wrapped in the quilt and hugged Betty and fell into a deep sleep again.

Tony, who didn't get a reply for a long time, went a little crazy, and he drank more than half a bottle of whiskey. He felt that he couldn't wait any longer, Banner, an unreliable guy, still needed to save the world by himself in the end!

Tony drained the remaining half bottle of whiskey and drove drunkenly towards the Gamma Bomb's heart-bursting proving ground. He had to adjust the parameters of the entire bomb before it exploded.

Sure enough, I'm the protagonist of this world!, Tony thought drunkenly.

………………………………

In the laboratory of Tech Island, everyone looked at Tony Stark in disbelief. The story Banner tells is a bit unexpected. Even the cheeky Tony can't stand it anymore.

"Wait, is the person in this story really me? Why don't I think it's like it, you must be adding to it!" Tony said to Banner, Tony's expression a little embarrassed.

Banner didn't care: "You know if that's the case." ”

Tony:..............................

Banner continued: "It doesn't matter what happens to this anymore, as I said before, we need to pull the thorn out of Betty's heart. I think you can do that, and since you all dare to put on a fake show in front of seven billion people around the world, I don't think it's hard for you. ”

As soon as Dr. Banner's words fell, the eyes of the others focused on Li Jie.

"Wait, why are you all looking at me like this? I'm not the protagonist of this matter, and I'm not the mutation of Dr. Banner or General Ross. Why are you looking at me with such strange eyes? Li Jie shook his body uncomfortably.

Tony, on the other hand, walked up to Li Jie and patted him on the shoulder: "You can do it." ”

"What can I do? What the hell can I do! This has nothing to do with me!!
