Chapter Seventy-Two: I Need a Cubic Meter of Wire
Pepper Potts took Steve and the well-dressed Natasha next to Steve to the exclusive luxury office of Tony Stark on the top floor of the Stark Building.
Although, in reality, it has always been Pepper Potts, Tony Stark's secretary, who works in it.
Tony Stark's guy was either at home developing weapons or partying at home with his face covered, and he hadn't been to his office a few times.
Take the elevator.
"Alright, Miss Potts, you can tell me now what happened to Tony." Although Steve knew that Tony Stark was attacked by the Ten Rings, and that the mastermind behind it was his own uncle.
However, there is no scene in the movie where Tony Stark still calls for help.
Wasn't it true that Tony Stark was directly blown up, and then blew a hole in his chest, and finally developed a miniature Ark reactor and a Mark mecha in order to survive?
Pepper Potts said incoherently, "I don't know, I was in the office at the time, and then he suddenly made a phone call and asked me to find you, no, it was Rod from the Air Force first, and then let me find you." ”
After talking for a long time, Pepper Potts, who found that she couldn't say anything, took out her mobile phone and played a recording of Tony Stark's call with her.
"Pepper! You contact Rhodes now to save me! ”
“OH! Shet! You'd better find Steve to save me! ”
Then, the recording of the phone call went silent.
Looking at Pepper Potts, who had red eyes and black bags, dancing and gesturing, Steve gently patted Pepper Potts's shoulder and said with relief: "Don't worry, since you have found me, I can rescue Tony 100%." ”
"All you need is to provide me with a little bit of supplies."
Pepper Potts covered her nose and sighed, "You can tell me anything you need, although I'm only Tony's secretary, I can still mobilize some supplies." ”
Steve smiled, having waited for this phrase from the moment he entered the Stark Mansion door.
Otherwise, it wouldn't look good if he said directly to Pepper Potts that I want something in exchange for Tony Stark.
To put it mildly, it is better to make both parties feel that they do not suffer and that everyone has earned.
Follow Pepper Potts all the way up the elevator to Tony's huge office.
Walking into the entire office, Steve felt awkward at first glance, and wanted to take out his unicorn arm to tidy up the entire office.
On one side is a clean and tidy desk area, but on the other side, there is a mess full of clutter and random placement.
It's obviously a symmetrical room, but it's completely asymmetrical!
Pepper Potts poured a cup of coffee for Steve and Natasha, and sat down across from Steve with a small notebook, "Mr. Steve, what do you need?" I'll prepare it for you as soon as possible. ”
looked at Pepper Potts, who looked anxious, but still held on.
Steve picked up the coffee in front of him and tasted it gently, it wasn't quite to his taste, he liked pure milk over all kinds of bells and whistles.
"Twenty cubic meters of iron, three cubic meters of wool, and three cubic meters of thread."
Pepper Potts, who sat across from Steve, meticulously recorded Steve's request in a small notebook, "Twenty cubic meters of iron." ”
"Uh, Mr. Steve, does all this iron and wool and thread have anything to do with saving Tony?" Pepper Potts pinched the pen in his hand, frowned at Steve holding the coffee cup, looked at Steve with a puzzled expression, and asked his soul, "And, wool and thread?" Do you also want cubic meters? Can you change the unit? ”
Change units?
Steve shook his head, "No, and you don't need to know how I used these things to save Tony, but without these supplies, I definitely can't rescue Tony by my own ability, by the way, the wool and the thread should be solid, at best, that cubic meter of thread is made up of a thread." ”
If it weren't for the fact that Tony Stark gave him all the medicine he treasured, Steve would have opened his mouth to ask for chickens, cows, and pigs......
As for why cubic meters of solid thread and wool......
That's also because there is nothing other than blocks in the MC player's line of sight, water is square, people are square, trees are square, even animals are square, and in the MC player's world, clouds and the sun are square!
Pepper Potts pinched the list of supplies that Steve asked for in her hand, and her whole head was square, and her brain couldn't think of how to use these things to find Tony Stark, who disappeared in Afghanistan, and couldn't hit it at all, right?
Isn't it a team of helicopters, a large number of soldiers searching all over Afghanistan?
Moreover, a cubic meter of line?
What is that, can't you use rolls and balls? Or some other unit of measurement?
How is she going to get a cubic meter of wire?
Who can roll the thread into a square block?
In front of Steve and Natasha, Pepper Potts pondered for a moment, then took his cell phone and began to dial the head of Stark's industrial materials management department.
Tony Stark's life is ahead, and those supplies are negligible.
"What's without iron? I remember that the company has always had a material reserve plan! ”
"Secretary Potts, you have to understand that our Stark Building is a high-tech weapons industry, and we rarely use iron, which is inferior to other metals, and all the iron in the last reserve was transferred by the boss, and there is nothing left."
Pepper Potts glanced up at Steve, who was sitting on the sofa frowning and drinking coffee, and the two beauties twisted slightly, "The boss has been transferred?" What did you do? ”
"It seems that we have built some full-body iron armor, and we have built a lot of them, and they have always asked us to cancel the previous red wine gifts when we sell weapons, and give away those useless iron armors."
“……”
Pepper Potts was silent for a long time, she always felt that Steve asked her for iron, which should be made of iron.
It was a woman's intuition, like the instinct of seeing her man coming back from outside with another man upstairs and guessing what the two of them had done.
"I don't care about you now, I must find twenty cubic meters of pure iron within twenty-four hours! And three cubic meters of solid wool of the same color and three cubic meters of thread! ”
"Wait! Secretary Potts, you still need three cubic meters of wool? And a three-cubic-meter line? How can I find you three cubic meters of wire! ”
Pepper Potts hung up the phone without giving the material manager on the other side of the phone a chance to continue to ask questions, and she didn't know how to find a line measured in cubic meters.
After hanging up the phone, Pepper Potts hesitated for a moment and looked at Steve, who was leisurely drinking coffee, "Mr. Steve, do you have any other requirements, such as normal supplies?" ”
"Do you want a few cubic meters of gold, or redstone, or diamonds?"
Hearing Steve's words, Pepper Potts only felt that her face was twitching, but her heart was twitching.
Also, gold and diamonds are easy for her to understand, but what is redstone?
Everyone weighs gold in grams, and diamonds, everyone even weighs them in carats, even if it is a local tyrant, no one uses cubic meters to weigh these things!
The market price, the cheapest one-carat diamond is about a little more than 10,000 dollars, according to a cubic meter of diamond, let's not talk about the value of such a large piece of diamond itself.
According to the weight of a cubic meter of diamond is 3520kg, a cubic meter of diamond is worth more than 170 billion US dollars!
If you sell the entire Stark industry, you can't afford to buy a single cubic meter of diamonds!
Now, Pepper Potts is taking her mother's word for it, saying that Steve must be a big man in the future.
There is only one person in the world who can describe gold and diamonds in cubic meters, Steve.
Even her boss, Tony Stark, the youngest and richest person in the world, was considered by everyone in the world, and he did not dare to weigh in this way.
"Forget it, let's talk about the problem of the one-meter line, I think we can still discuss."
Both Pepper Potts and Natasha turned their gazes to Steve, who was calmly sipping coffee, "This is really a billion points." ”
