Chapter 725: Tony dies suddenly from overwork
Although they already have the qualifications, Shen Mo is not ready to go out now.
He still needs an opportunity.
Thor and Loki go to find a way to bring the troops out of Asgard, while Tony stays in his lab, working day and night.
Compared to Loki.
Tony is faced with real despair.
No matter how smart he is, no matter how much he squeezes himself, there is a limit, scientific research is never a simple thing, and behind every amazing success is countless failures.
However, he did not have time.
According to worst-case estimates, it will be a month or two at most before residential cities will begin to fall, and even now, there are already some alien monsters and soldiers who have broken free from the blockade and entered human cities, causing a certain amount of civilian casualties.
The thought of the desperate looks of those people made Tony unable to sleep at all.
In his heart, he also thinks that this is his own responsibility to some extent.
"Jarvis, begin the sixty-fifth Giant Mecha Simulation Test."
Tony looked at the giant mecha above the virtual projection in front of him, his voice hoarse.
Jarvis didn't do the simulation.
"You are already in very bad health, sir, you must rest."
"I'm fine, I know myself, start the mock test!" Tony accentuated his voice.
If anyone saw him now, they would not recognize him, because in just ten days he had become extremely emaciated, full of stubble, and his eyes were bloodshot.
He could barely sleep.
"Yes, sir." Jarvis couldn't refuse Tony's order.
But there are also contingency measures for this situation in his procedures.
So, Pepper hurried in a few minutes later.
"Oh my God, Tony, didn't you sleep well yesterday?" Little Pepper held Tony's arm in great distress, "You can't continue like this, your body can't bear it at all, you promised me a good night's sleep yesterday." ”
"When I'm done with this simulation, I'll go right away." Tony grabbed Pepper's palm, but his eyes were still fixed on the simulated scene in the virtual projection, and muttered, "I have to finish this mech and set up the production line within a month, it can stop those floating dragons, which are essentially army branches and transport warships, and only need one to destroy a city of a million people......"
Tony's body shook, and he was already in a trance.
He's really reaching his limits.
Especially this time, the simulation still failed, and he was stuck in flexibility, he loaded this giant mech with too many weapons, but it also greatly limited the mobility he had now, and the materials could not withstand the greater kinetic energy output.
Now that this mecha is on the battlefield, it will only become a live target.
"You can't go on like this, you need to rest, and only by recuperating can you solve the problem." Pepper's face was full of distress and continued to persuade.
"But there's no time." Tony suddenly shook off Pepper's palm and propped it up on the table, "Damn! I just need a more perfect alloy, and if this mech can go into battle before the battle line collapses, it will at least buy us a few more months of resistance! ”
"Sir, this calculation may be outdated." Jarvis suddenly popped up the screen, "The latest news, the enemy continued to put a new round of troops three hours ago, the number reached thirty percent of the total strength, of which the number of low-level biological weapons as consumables exceeded fifty percent, according to the latest calculations, the defense line of the human coalition army can hold the desert for half a month at most, in addition, the minutes of the Council meeting show that they have unanimously approved the elite evacuation plan......"
Tony's eyes slowly widened, looking at the hideous monsters in the picture that were dumped directly like garbage, listening to Jarvis's words, the nerves that had been tense for a long time finally broke.
Eyes rolled.
Straight down.
"Tony! Tony! ”
Pepper's eager shouts were gradually moving away from him.
Even in a coma, he was still struggling.
The old plans will be overturned.
He had to specify a new plan to produce a weapon that would change the tide of battle in half a month.
Between the confusion.
He felt that his soul was constantly drifting upward, little by little, as if he was in a warm hot spring, and the anxiety and despair in his heart, and the exhaustion that was about to reach the limit of his body, were slowly recovering.
Until he slowly opened his eyes like a big dream.
It is a soft white color.
The scene he had seen before finally brought him out of the comfort of waking up, and all kinds of memories came flooding back to his mind, and he sat up suddenly.
It's not time to sleep yet!
Then he finally realized that he was back in that white, fabled paradise-like world.
"You're awake." A voice came from the side.
In front of the empty man who had just begun, suddenly appeared God sitting cross-legged, and the cute cat still munching on the small dried fish, as if they had been here all along.
"I ...... Why are you here again? Tony covered his forehead and looked at the God in front of him, as if he wanted an answer from him.
"Because—" The corners of the silent mouth curled, "you're dead, of course." ”
“——!?” Tony's eyes widened suddenly.
All at once it fell into chaos.
I'm already dead? Exhausted? I, Tony Stark, am exhausted?
So now is the soul in heaven?
"No, how can I die." Tony stood up abruptly, anxiously in a circle, "How long have I been asleep, and how is the battle going now?" Damn, I'm dead, what about Pepper, it's impossible for human weapons to catch up with the enemy again, they can't do without me, I ......"
"Okay, just a joke." Shen Mo looked at him with interest, "You're not dead yet. ”
"......" Tony collapsed to the ground.
"You're almost dead, though." Shen Mo said again.
Tony's expression was quite wonderful and colorful at once.
He swore that he had never seen anyone more annoying than himself, no, not a man, but God.
"Your body has reached its limit, you should know it very well, and there is nothing strange about sudden death." Shen Mo didn't seem to intend to tease him, but smiled, "But you're lucky, Gu Yi arrived in time and used spells to maintain your life, of course, it's just to maintain, your soul is with me." ”
"The Ancient One?" It's the first time Tony has heard the name.
"Oh, it's the guardian of your world, a mage with decent strength, and it's because of her that Thanos didn't come to Earth in person." Shen Mo explained casually.
