Time flies, especially for people who rarely go back to the tip of their minds. Except for battles and the like, time passes at the same speed as flying. When it was time to receive the goods, the ashes arrived at Stark Industries...... At the beginning, for convenience, Ash simply set up a campfire.

The pseudo-spiral sword made by the fireproof woman cannot exert the same great power as the real spiral sword, but it can save the campfire. Of course, if you want to save it, in addition to the pseudo-spiral sword, you also need to sprinkle some ashes regularly. The real spiral sword can not only naturally generate campfires, but also quickly restore the wounds on the ashes and escape to the soul. The bonfire of the pseudo-spiral sword can only serve as a teleportation coordinate.

Seeing the arrival of the ashes, Tony, who was studying the soul of a second-order mutant with a clump of second-order mutants, pouted at the silver iron block on the table next to him.

"That's the Edelman alloy you wanted, you don't know how long I've been negotiating with the mentally retarded group of the military to get some of this. That guy named Ross followed up with the water, and said that I had leaked their secrets...... It's stupid enough, even if I leak it, can I still admit it in front of him? ”

As he spoke, Tony shook his head meaningfully, his eyes revealing a little helplessness and irritability. Obviously, it doesn't like the military's bunch. After all, between them...... Well, the feud between Tony and the military doesn't seem to say who is at fault first. After all, from the moment the military department of Stark Industries negotiated with the military, the relationship between them became more and more complicated...

Although he didn't understand the complexity of human nature, after hearing Tony's words, Ash nodded in understanding and said, "Normal, some people are not suitable to be a businessman. ”

Hearing this, Tony nodded sympathetically. As Ash said, he was a man who was not born to be a businessman. Although he is the titular boss of the Stark Group, in fact, Tony has made a will to transfer all his assets to Pepper after his death when he was poisoned by palladium and heavy metals, but he hasn't told her about it yet. For him, it is more interesting than being the big boss of a group to unravel the process of rice cooker. Therefore, things like this, Tony usually leave them to Pepper to manage.

After two glances, but without distinguishing the authenticity, Ash directly picked up the Edelman alloy on the table and put it in his backpack.

Seeing this scene, Tony on the side raised his eyebrows and glanced at the ashes with a little interest, and then said while monitoring the soul on the workbench through some unknown instrument:

"You don't know, such a piece of Edelman alloy actually only cost me 600 million dollars. The Edelman alloy has the property that once it solidifies, it can't be destroyed again, and I bet the military is selling it so cheaply because they sold it to me with the mentality of dealing with scrap. When you first get your hands on it, you don't know how thick the dust is on it. I bet with their kids that this is definitely a sample they didn't pour into the mold when they first made the Edelman. And then the kind that was abandoned because it couldn't be destroyed. ”

Nodding, idle, looking at Tony who was busy, the ashes on the side came over with some curiosity.

"What are you doing here?"

"We are preparing to develop new energy sources."

As he spoke, Tony shrugged his shoulders calmly, but he didn't care about Ash's question, after all, this mass of souls itself was the second-order mutant soul provided by Ash.

In the level setting of mutants, there are five tiers. In order of strength, the first order is the weakest, while the fifth order is the strongest. And the souls of second-order mutants that Tony is currently studying account for about fifty to seventy percent of the mutant race, which is a relatively common mutant. It's the kind that has a certain amount of power, but also has a certain flaw. For example, looks, strength, or abilities and so on.

Among them, third-order mutants can already be regarded as cadre-level existences in the mutant brotherhood, after all, the commander of the brotherhood, Magneto himself, is just a fourth-order mutant.

While bringing his eyes to a peephole that resembled a periscope, Tony said slowly:

"This so-called soul in your mouth exists in a very strange way. There is no exact physical form, and even the magnetic field itself is extremely unstable. So I'm going to see if I can develop a new energy source to upgrade my armor. ”

"So what's going on now?"

"It's fine." While operating the machine, Tony said, "This energetic magnetic field called "soul" reacts to organic and inorganic matter, and can indirectly affect the physical form and molecular structure of inorganic matter through stimulation and energy output. If my vision succeeds, then I might be able to try replacing Iron Man armor with a creature plant...... But it is somewhat strange that his physical rules, and the way he exists, almost completely contradict the laws of this era. ”

Hearing this, some of them didn't understand the words that sounded very lofty and unclear in Tony's mouth, and Ash shrugged his shoulders and left a sentence: "Then I wish you early success." Then he turned and walked to the campfire.

Hearing Ash's words, Tony on the side raised an eyebrow. Then he put down the work at hand and looked at the ashes on the side.

"Are you going back to that so-called monastery?"

"Hmm."

"Would you like to show me around?" As he spoke, as if he was afraid that the ashes would misunderstand, Tony on the side quickly explained: "Of course, you can rest assured. I'm not going to tell anyone about it, I just want to see how you incorporate your soul into your weapons...... If it's not convenient, you can try to say no. ”

"But there is a very good saying, that is, knowledge is improved through communication~"

Looking at Tony with a calm smile on his face, the ash on the side shrugged his shoulders indifferently after thinking for a moment.

"Of course you can, but you'd better be prepared......"

"There's a bit of a lot of people there."

As for Ash's dissuasion, Tony doesn't seem to care. After all...... How many people can go there? It's just a little monastery.
