By the time Grell arrived at Stark's villa on a motorbike, tables and chairs had been set up on an all-glass observation deck next to the open-air pool on the top floor of Stark's Ocean Villa.

It was already two o'clock in the evening, but two chefs were busy preparing hot pot bases, and five waiters were orderly placing all kinds of vegetables, thinly sliced meat, seafood and other ingredients on the table.

Sure enough, the rich man's supper has nothing to do with instant noodles, just what they want to eat, even if it is in the middle of the night, a team of professional chefs will come to serve them with a phone call.

When everything was ready, Stark, who was wearing pajamas, sat down slowly, skillfully picked up his chopsticks, and began to throw vegetables into the tumbling hot pot, without a trace of rustiness, which surprised Grell a little, he still wanted to pick up the knife and fork to pick up something.

It's been a long time since Grell has eaten such an authentic Sichuan-style hot pot, and he ate and drank unceremoniously, and Stark on the other side said in a very casual tone: "What are you doing in the middle of the night to see my father's blueprints?" ”

"Finding the key to the future." As he spoke, Grell stuffed a piece of mutton with chopsticks into his mouth, and said inarticulately, "I'm not sure if it's still there, I wanted to look for it before, but the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, so I hurried to look for it when I came back from the Divine Domain." ”

Stark looked confused, he always felt that the generation gap between him and Greer was deeper than the Mariana Trench, and he couldn't understand all the professional knowledge he said, and he couldn't understand the strange things Grell said.

"So, is there anything special about that picture?"

"That's the key to the future," Grell swallowed the food in his mouth, repeated what he had just said, and then raised his hand to Stark's chest, and said very seriously: "It can replace the Ark reactor on your chest, non-polluting, non-toxin, real clean energy, the kind that can be promoted on a large scale." ”

Stark sneered when he heard this, put down the chopsticks in his hand, shook his head, and said, "I've tried all the elemental combinations, every one, every one, unless there is a major breakthrough in basic science, the Ark Reactor..."

Before he could finish speaking, Grell spoke, "Mr. Stark, do you think it will take to send me back to Earth across countless galaxies to activate the Rainbow Bridge that you are currently using?" ”

Stark fell silent, the Ark Reactor on his chest had developed to the third generation, and had been adjusted hundreds of times, and it was the strongest power generation on the planet, but to say that to drive the colorful pillar of light, it was simply to use a hand-cranked generator to generate electricity to drive a data center with an area of tens of thousands of square meters.

"Mr. Stark, what you are trying is something that is known, just like the ancient people who wanted to cook rice more quickly, and changed the firewood from locust wood to poplar wood to paulownia wood, in fact, the efficiency is about the same, unless someone tells him where to dig up coal, which has a higher burning efficiency."

Stark stared at Greer who was burying his head in the hot pot with a suspicious face, wanting to see signs of jokes or nonsense on his face, picked up his mobile phone, quickly pressed it a few times, dialed a number, and said, "Harpy, where have you been?" ”

"BOSS, I've already transported things to the door, and I'm trying to find a way to get them into the house"

Stark stood up and waved his hand at Greer, "Go, tell me where the 'coal' is buried?" ”

When Stark followed him to the underground garage, Greer found that Harpy was directing several bodyguards to unload the Stark Industrial Exposition plan from a pickup truck.

Several bodyguards lifted the painting to a table and immediately left, closing the door, Stark commanded loudly, "Jarvis, seal the entrance, no visitors to the basement, and scan the picture." ”

"Yes, sir!"

Stark then turned his head to look at Greer, raised his hand, and motioned Grell to show him where the so-called 'coal' was, Grell spread his hands innocently, and said: "I only know that this is a structural diagram of the new element discovered by your father, the globe is the nucleus, and protons and neutrons are distributed in this diagram." I can only help you here, and the rest is up to you, the expert. ”

Grell really only remembers so much, a movie lasts more than an hour, and he doesn't have the ability to memorize, how can he remember all the lines and details of a movie he watched two or three years ago, and it's probably good to remember one.

Stark took a deep look at Greer, stepped forward, carefully studied the projection after Jarvis scanned the plan, his face became more and more serious and serious, his brain was spinning rapidly, thinking about how to build an atomic model with a globe as the core, so many buildings, passages, landscapes, trees, those are the electrons that revolve around the nucleus, those are the neutrons and protons that make up the nucleus......

The amount of computing is extremely huge, but it can't be replaced by Jarvis, although Stark claims that Jarvis is artificial intelligence, but in fact, it is the same as the battery car claims new energy, and it is far from real artificial intelligence.

Imagination... Only an imaginative intelligent program is artificial intelligence, and without this, it can only be said to be a fairly intelligent system. Even if you can learn the information on the Internet and integrate it, it is impossible to say that an artificial intelligence is a civilization like in movies and novels, which can promote the scientific and technological development of the entire civilization, and develop the earth that has just begun to explore outer space to the era of interstellar colonization.

If you disconnect Jarvis's network connection, even if another 10,000 years pass, Jarvis will still stay at the moment when he disconnected from the network. Falling apples and gravity, two unrelated things, are connected by imagination.

Unlike in the movie, where the discovery of new elements was completed in just a few minutes, Stark stood in front of the projection for hours without saying a word or making any movements, and in an antique-level luxury car behind him, Grell had already fallen asleep in the back seat.

"Remove the channel." Stark finally spoke, and after a long period of thinking and converting the floor plan into a three-dimensional model for simulation, as well as hundreds of attempts to delete it, Stark finally determined that the channel was not an electronic trajectory, but a useless object that confused the public.

At this time, the glass door of the basement opened, Pepper and Natasha walked in with a large stack of papers, and saw Stark standing in front of the projection picture at a glance, Pepper looked at Stark, who was a lot haggard, and asked in surprise: "Tony, you won't have slept all night, will you?!" ”
