The mechanical armor follows the curve of the human limb, and the pieces are closed, enveloping the boy, and the blue and silver metallic armor is very modern, not as good as Stark's red and gold arrogance, but with more elegance and refinement.

From the time the kid mobilized the industrial support of the Republic to create the steel armor on the blueprint with intelligent atoms, to the entire armor being formed, most people didn't have time to react, because it was beyond their comprehension. Tony's armor costs more than $200 million per suit and is built by Stark Industries at no cost.

It represents not only Tony's monstrous wealth, but also a symbol of Stark Industries' most advanced technology and industrial capabilities in the world.

The highest achievement of mankind in the field of energy - the Ark reactor.

The pinnacle of human power - the anti-gravity engine.

Stark Industries' crystallization in the field of artificial intelligence - AI Jarvis.

These are all advanced technologies that cannot be replicated by the U.S. government, and they are the fusion of Tony's personal wisdom and Stark Industries' advanced technology, which not only represents the forefront of applied science, but also a symbol of Stark Industries, and even the overall industrial strength of the United States. Even if the drawings and techniques were made public, not many countries in the world would be able to produce samples.

Maybe Russia can make half of it, China can copy a low-profile version, and the whole of Europe can unite to create a sample at any cost.

"Tony, how much is the Mark 5 you are quoting to the Ministry of Defense?" Black Widow elbowed Stark, who was surprised to close his mouth, and asked him.

"$500 million!" Stark hadn't come back to his senses, staring blankly at the blue-silver armor.

"It's the Steel Patriot $500 million, it's just a modified version of the Mark 1 type, at least two generations behind the Mark 5." Agent Hill couldn't help but interject next to her, and she turned back to Tony and said, "Now your Iron Patriot is only worth $200 million!" We won't spend so much money on a weapon that is already outdated......"

"How much are you going to sell for Mark 5?" Black Widow asked in Tony's ear.

Tony gave her a complicated look. Shaking his head and saying: "Mark 5 is priceless ......"

"Come on! You can't do a monopoly anymore...... Give me a real price! ”

"It's really priceless...... Its technical verification machine has not yet been finalized, we have not mastered its production process, it cannot be industrialized at all, it cannot make commodities! Naturally, there is no price. Tony looked at the smaller steel armor, and said with some bitterness on the corner of his mouth: "I spent 16.2 billion for Mark 5." But 13 days after it came out, it was a generation behind. ”

"What is the dollar?" The boy leaned over and asked.

"That's the currency of our country! Wait, do you understand what money is? The black widow asked him, and the boy shook his head.

"I am a genetic modulator, not as long as the life cycle of a natural person, today is my first birthday!" The boy said curiously, "I've seen money in the history books, and you use it to buy goods, right?" ”

"Clones."

Tony couldn't help but show a terrifying expression, although cloning technology is not far from the level of earth science, a living clone standing in front of them still shocked them.

"Yes! In order to preserve the spark of human civilization after the apocalypse. The government's special program for women's snails! After the extinction of the human living environment, the biochemical living species that can be preserved for millions of years until the ecological recovery are used to breed genetically modulated humans and inject them into the memory bank of human civilization. ”

"I am the result of the female snail project, although the plan failed, we have developed into embryos, and we have been cultivated. Replenish the population of the republic. ”

The boy didn't seem to care about his origins, but looked at Stark and the others expectantly. Curious, he asked, "I've seen a lot of past information in the database, is it true that you treat money?" Perhaps thinking that what he said was too vague, the boy tried to express it tactfully: "That's it...... That...... Very 'persistent'? He used a less sharp word uncertainly.

"Persistence? You're talking about madness and stupidity! Tony nodded, "That's because you can't see what it represents...... Money is a distribution of power, it's like a permission, a permission to control the whole world. When you have it, you have the power behind it. ”

"We coordinate and distribute commodities with money. It keeps our world running rationally and smoothly. ”

"You may think it's unfair, but it's closer to the nature of the world. Are you communists? ”

"Your needs are suppressed by the distribution system, and perhaps you think it's unfair that some people enjoy luxury and some people have nothing. But that's the beauty of the world, human nature determines it all, and differences make the whole world come alive, like a catfish in a school of sardines, which stimulates the development of the whole world. ”

"In my opinion, this system is more lovely than the rigid and rotten distribution system, with beautiful women, good wine, luxury cars and bodies, without which half of my life is lost."

"Greed is where human nature lies, and it is cruel and crazy to try to erase it, no matter how glorious it may be. What we seek is this great sparkle of humanity - freedom! Freedom is human nature! ”

Tony's tone was proud and proud, and he smiled and opened his arms.

But the look in Kadinov's eyes next to him made him feel very strange.

"What do you seem to want to say, sir?"

"China is the most special member of the Allied forces!" Kadinov's gaze at the Avengers made them feel uncomfortable, a mixture of insight and impatience, like the archaic, ridiculous custom of a man standing in the lower reaches of history looking down on the past.

"The republics are not like the Soviets and the European Community, they don't even have a distribution system! No goods, no money, no appearances you seek! As long as there is material, they have everything, and the personal system can meet most of the needs of the Chinese comrades. The productive capacity of industry is in the hands of real workers. ”

"Every Chinese comrade is a factory, the deepest and most essential combination of laborers and tools of production. All the products of your labour that you can buy with dollars are free for them to make, and the material things they can enjoy are unlimited, and each of them is comparable to the productive capacity of a complete industrial country of yours. ”

"They are truly free, and your freedom requires money, and they don't need it!"

But they also did not show that they were unmotivated, indulging in pleasure and luxury, indulging in material things, not at all. The whole society has not lost its impetus for development, on the contrary, they have abandoned greed, cruelty, cunning, deceit and arrogance, and have become truly noble. Human nature does not seem to be inferior, and after the Chinese comrades liberated themselves and gained real freedom, human nature seemed to become pure and simple. ”

Kadinov impatiently stopped Captain America from speaking.

"Three years ago, no one would have imagined that what you say would be the truth at that time. At that time, we really believed that human nature is eternal, but a scam is a scam after all. ”

"You are trying to convince us that there can be no world without exploiters, just as the nobles of the Middle Ages tried to convince the serfs that it was the nobles who were protecting them, using cruel means, shameless deception, whatever you can think of, to stop anyone, everyone, from revealing a secret!"

"That is, the world doesn't really need you! Serfs do not need nobles, and laborers do not need exploiters. ”

"It's you who need us!"

"Now, you may still believe your lies, but the facts will prove - the world would be a better place without you, humanity!" (To be continued.) )
