Stark House, Underground Laboratory.

Miss Pepper Pepper Potts was talking about contracts, financial statements, and other trivial things on the virtual screen, while Tony Stark sat at the table and responded with a complex mechanical structure in his hand. The laser gun slowly sliced through the alloy shell, flying sparks reflected in his black goggles.

Pepper closed her mouth and looked at him helplessly for a moment, and asked, "So what I just said, Tony, did you hear everything?" ”

"Of course, it's all here." Tony nodded repeatedly.

"And what did I just say?"

"Uh...... Stock? ”

"Oh, you've memorized a word, it's amazing, I'm a little flattered." Pepper sarcastic.

Tony temporarily took off his goggles and looked at her seriously, "Hey, I trust you, okay?" I trust 100% that you can handle everything, you can do it your own way, and you don't have to ask my opinion. ”

"Oh." Pepper said dryly, "Then I'm going to sell the Stark Group tomorrow." ”

"No, you won't." Tony shrugged indifferently, "It's like your child, how can there be any reason for a mother to sell her child?" ”

Little Pepper is helpless. In fact, she had known for a long time that Tony would not care about the miscellaneous chores, since Tony had been rescued from the Middle East, his entire mind had been on the armor, and he didn't seem to care about anything else. She made this call purely for a formality, after all, his name was still on the company building, and there were many things that he had to nod.

The business was hasty, and Pepper changed his words: "You look terrible." Tell me the truth, haven't you left the lab in many days? ”

"Don't think about it too much, I go to bed early and wake up early every day." Tony makes a serious face.

However, before Pepper could reply, his AI butler Jarvis immediately sold the boss: "Sir, it's been 72 hours since you last slept. ”

Tony blackened: "Shut up, Jarvis. It's none of your business here. ”

He felt that this old Jia had been getting more and more disobedient recently, hadn't he been trained for too long...... Ah no, it's been too long since the calibration program went wrong?

Secretly decided to repair Lao Jia in the past two days, and at the same time, Tony made a mechanical face: "I'm sorry, you're talking to Tony Stark's holographic projection." The video content has been played, if you still have any questions, please call and leave a message in the voice message box......"

Pepper yells, "Wait Tony! I'm not done yet, you can't ......"

The picture went black, and Pepper's voice came to an abrupt end. Tony casually tossed the floating projection screen aside, rubbing the corners of his eyes tiredly.

One thing Pepper is right, he hasn't left the lab in a long time.

He's been working on new techniques to upgrade his suit all this time, since his last encounter with Xenobiotics.

He hadn't mentioned it to anyone, but it had a big impact on him. Until a little over a month ago, he was convinced that Iron Man was the ultimate answer to all the world's questions, and then with a snap, twisted giant creatures and silver giants appeared one after another, shattering his confidence and worldview with the explosive data.

He didn't tell Pepper about his worries, because he didn't want her to be as anxious as he was. But the truth is, he was terrified. Knowing that there are still a bunch of things out there that Iron Man is completely powerless to fight against now makes him uneasy.

The new generation of Iron Man armor is designed with this premise in mind. He collected all the data from the giant's battle, capturing every microsecond of energy change, and drawing detailed curves for analysis, especially the moment when the giant's hands interlaced in a cross to release rays.

After countless research explorations, Tony made discoveries that even he didn't expect. After matching the specific frequency of the energy released by Ultraman, he tried to call the satellites of the Stark Group to track and search for the energy frequency, and unexpectedly found that the entire Earth's atmosphere seemed to be shrouded in this similar energy.

Of course, this energy scattered around the world is extremely weak, so weak that it is almost negligible, but after Tony has made many calculations with precision instruments, he is convinced that this is a power similar to that Ultraman.

After a complex operation, he succeeded in isolating a key new element from it and applying it to the arc reactor technology. Despite the addition of very low levels of trace elements, the performance of the arc reactor exploded far beyond his imagination, and the data obtained during the initial test even made Tony suspect that something was wrong with his computer.

After he applied the all-new reactor to the MK7 armor, which he had just completed, Iron Man was given a radical upgrade. More power, better mobility, and even the reaction speed of the armored neural interaction module has been incredibly improved, which is a real comprehensive upgrade. That's why there was a scene where Iron Man beat the novice Dr. Doom in the New York City before.

After that actual combat test, this new Iron Man system can be regarded as officially completed, but the test also revealed that there are few things to improve, which is also the part he is still working on.

The world is not safe.

That's why someone has to come forward and fight.

There was a soft "Didi" sound from the computer, and Jarvis's gentle voice rang out: "Simulation adjustment successful, sir." The energy loss rate of the suit's hand armor has been reduced by 7.39%. ”

"Adjust the data, and we'll do it again. We should be able to go even lower. ”

Before Jarvis could speak, the lights in the lab went out with a buzz.

Tony froze.

Blackout? Over here? Tony Stark's home?

How is this possible?

Not just the lights, but every floating screen in the lab went out, and darkness quickly took over the entire space, as if silently announcing that it was their territory.

The spare engine also did not move. Tony remembered that he hadn't been in a situation like this since he moved in, and the probability of such a thing happening was probably less than 1 in a million.

"Jarvis? Are you there? ”

Tony heard his voice echo through the dark lab, not the slightest echo.

Immediately after, he seemed to hear footsteps, as if tens of thousands of feet were stepping on the rocks, and even the villa under his feet seemed to tremble lightly at any time.

He's starting to feel bad.

For a moment, a loud bang echoed through the silent darkness. The ceiling cracked with a heavy scream, and a huge claw tore through the roof and fell from the sky!
