Chapter Eighty-Seven: Defense
β...... Do you want to be drunk? Dr. Pym. β
The second new New York chief playboy, a member of the Avengers, Iron Man Tony Stark, was wearing a burgundy suit, standing in the office of the chairman of the Pym Company, gently pushing the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, "wave" opened the oak cork of the private reserve red wine, and poured a glass for himself and Hank Pym.
Stark is an excellent arms dealer, long before he experienced the kidnapping and awakened to the discovery of conscience to become Iron Man, he used to be the best at face-to-face sales among all the arms giants in the United States - his charisma, negotiation skills, and Stark Group's cheap products helped him have an advantage in the annual procurement of the American Department of Defense.
And now, the object he wants to convince is the founder of the company of Pi, Hank Pym.
Unlike Tony's fortune history, Hank Pym did not have a wealthy family business to inherit, and he was able to develop Pym technology to its current huge scale thanks to his own invention patents.
More precisely, that invention is called the Pym particle generator.
"Dr. Pym, you are a benchmark in the field of scientific research, and an old-timer in the field of military industry, who experienced the hardships of World War II firsthand."
Tony Stark took a sip of his drink, sat down in the chair in front of his desk, and said in a deep voice, "Our earth is facing an extremely terrible threat.
Think about it, just a few years ago, how many times did humans almost die at the hands of foreign invaders?
A mutant apocalypse capable of destroying a New York City on his own - he and his four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are rubbing our entire Avengers to the ground and back and forth.
The god of lies and treachery from the Norse gods, Loki, who of course is now Logie - and the Zetarians she has summoned.
The Avengers were founded to stop enemies that human conventional military forces could not deal with, and now even our Avengers exist in name only.
In this so-called 'Avengers', Captain America does have a charisma as a leader, but in the end he is just a genetically modified human - to put it mildly, he, Hawkeye, Black Widow, etc., are all ordinary people.
And I, I'm Iron Man, I'm just Iron Man, I'm nothing without this armor.
As for Hulk in the Avengers, he is completely unreliable and can rage at any time.
In the end, Thor, the god of thunder, and his sister are imprisoned in the dungeon of the school city due to the invasion of the Norse gods, and Nick Fury is still trying to solve this problem through diplomatic means.
We, the Avengers, call ourselves the guardians of human order, and now we've been reduced to this..."
"Tony, your father Howard and I have known each other for many years, just say anything,"
Hank Pym interrupted Tony's eloquent conversation and pushed the red wine glass to the corner of the desk, Shi Shiran put his hands under his chin, and said directly: "What are you looking for me?" β
β.... All right. β
Tony Stark coughed lightly, put his glass down, and raised a finger, "Dr. Pym, what do you think the earth needs today?" β
"What is needed?" Hank Pym frowned slightly, the question thrown by the other party was a bit false, the earth lacks everything, energy, food, and space for the population to live, constantly pushing the scientific and technological theories of human cognition of the world frontier....
Seeing Hank Pym's frowning face, Stark smiled slightly and spat out a word: "Defense." β
"Our planet needs means of defense, and it needs all-round and absolutely safe means of defense."
Hank Pym did not speak, and the tone of the other party was very similar to those arms dealers who peddled anti-missile missile systems in the past, what "defense is the best offense", "In modern warfare, even a single blow is enough to cause irreversible damage to the entire country." β
Dr. Hank Pym, who is an adviser to the Department of Defense in the field of science and technology, has long been tired of hearing these nonsense, and naturally lacks interest, if it weren't for Tony's trust, I'm afraid he would have already started to drive people out.
As if seeing the other party's impatience, Tony Stark did not hide it, and said in a deep voice: "Dr. Pym, the defensive means I am talking about are not conventional weapon systems like Aegis, but unconventional countermeasures similar to the Avengers but higher than the Avengers.
This countermeasure will cover every corner of the earth in all directions, using unprecedentedly powerful artificial intelligence, as well as a huge cluster of intelligent machinery created by the cutting-edge technology of dozens of companies including Stark Group, Lex Group, Wayne Group, etc., to form a seamless over-the-horizon defense and counterattack system
Before the crisis occurs, use the sea of machinery to completely engulf the opponent. β
Tony Stark took a deep breath and said quietly, "Before visiting you, I have successfully convinced dozens of other industry elites that we need to integrate the world's military scientific research forces to create the ultimate shield of our humanity."
"This shield is called Ultron."
Hank Pym didn't squeak, and after a while, he raised his eyes, stared at Tony Stark with a fierce gaze, and whispered, "Tell me, Tony."
Is it a foreign invader that Ultron defends, or.... School City? β
ββββββ
A few minutes earlier, Prince T'Challa's mother, the Queen of Wakanda, had decisively abandoned the disgraced King T'Chaka and returned to the Wakanda capital with her own children.
As a queen who is adept at finding a way out of Wakanda's unique political environment, she clearly knows that King T'Chaca, who has been ruined by interfering in the fight of honor with her own hands, is already dead.
Only by losing the pawn and protecting the commander, racing against time, during this time, taking advantage of the status of the royal queen who has not yet cooled down, taking the opportunity to seize the benefits, hurry up the alliance, and lay the foundation for the future of the children, it is possible to let the king of T'Challa return one day in the future and renew the life of the Wakanda royal tribe.
With this in mind, the Empress personally went to the sacrificial cave of the royal tribe and tried to steal some "heart-shaped grass" from the sacrificial cave - taking this purple herb can allow the user to return to the "ancestral realm", and under the guidance of the "ancestral spirit", develop its full potential, similar to the permanent version of the side-effect-free stimulant, which only the black panther of the past generations are eligible to eat.
T'Challa and his sister Suri infiltrated the scientific research center through the secret passage of the royal conference hall, trying to take out some scientific research instruments that are difficult to find replacements from them, and use them to make a comeback.
As promised, the Queen's family will meet on the outskirts of Wakanda's capital, and they will go to the White Ape tribe on the border of Wakanda to seek the help of the barbarians.
However, the queen herself had already waited on the outskirts of the city with a basket of heart-shaped grass, but she did not see her son and daughter appear for a long timeβuntil there was a sudden violent and thick pillar of smoke in the center of the city, and the queen secretly said in her heart that it was not good.
"T'Challa shouldn't be in any trouble, right..."
Little did the recently widowed queen know that her son, T'Challa, was facing a catastrophe in the Royal Chamber of Wakanda.
A few minutes earlier, just as T'Challa had just put on his panther armor and walked out of the research center, at the end of the hallway, he saw a rather tall and burly robotic humanoid.
It, or rather him, called Ultron, was three meters tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and the cheeks were gone, replaced by two arc-shaped diagonal downward guards that served as facial supports.
His entire body was made up of bright silver metal parts - judging by the sheen of the metal's surface, it was most likely Edelman metal.
You know, Erdman metal and vibranium, both of the two special metals with the highest strength in the world, have a pitiful small amount of production and mining every year, and where does so much vibranium come from, which is luxurious enough to forge a huge robot?
β.... You were sent by the school city? β
T'Challa hesitated.
According to common sense,Most of the human creations on the earth today are related to high-tech science and technology,Nine times out of ten, it has an inseparable relationship with the school city.,In that city,New ideas appear every day.,New inventions come out every day.γ
"It's a city of innovation, it's a city of the future." The world's media are on the front page, flattering, using all kinds of exaggerated lines, to describe the bright future of the school city.
In addition, the overall structural style of Ultron is significantly different from the "war machine" armor construction style launched by the Stark Group - the former is more like a "human" with independent thoughts, rather than an ignorant armor controlled by others.
"Vibranium..."
The moment the humanoid machine saw the armor on T'Challa's body, a trace of data flashed in the machine's eyes, and he directly stretched out his palm and slapped it on T'Challa's chest.
Ultron's metal palm melted like liquid, clinging to the panther's chest, and the corroded burning sensation even passed through the panther armor, clearly reaching the surface of T'Challa's skin.
Ultron is devouring the Panther's vibranium armor itself.
How could T'Challa answer and kick directly to the chest of the humanoid machine, but the attack that was enough to kick a medium-sized sedan sideways was not painful to hit the opponent, and it didn't even cause a little scarring.
"I don't know if I'm alive or dead."
Ultron looked at his uninjured chest lightly, slowly raised his head, stretched out his palm, and aimed it at T'Challa with the hole-like groove in his palm.
The black panther was so happy that he stretched out his arms and clamped the opponent's arms tightly, trying to lift them up.
However, Ultron's strength was far greater than the Black Panther imagined, and he easily lifted the latter directly into the air, slamming into the alloy wall at the end of the corridor with a thud, and carved a humanoid dentation.
The new vibranium armor worn by the panther was developed by her sister Suri, which was different from the classical styles worn by the previous generations of black panthers, this jet-black ink-like armor was streamlined as a whole, and the wrists, ankles, knees and even the neck were not deliberately thickened - the new material structure and reasonable design allowed the vibranium armor to absorb foreign kinetic energy and heat energy to the greatest extent, and store it inside the slim armor.
As long as you wear Panther armor, even if you fall directly from the top of a high-rise mountain or are swept by a large-caliber machine gun, you will undoubtedly survive - at most, you will be knocked to the ground by the impact and slightly bruised in the soft tissues.
In addition, the panther armor can also be like a real feline, with indestructible barb-like sharp nails sticking out from the vibranium claws, and with the user's own physiological quality and professional skills, it can fly on the wall in minutes, tossing and turning in complex landscapes, and is as fast as a leopard.
In addition, the armor's close-fitting and tight lining has excellent breathability and sweat permeability, no matter it is three or nine days or dog days, it can make people feel comfortable and comfortable after wearing, even if there is sweat discharge, it will be evaporated in an instant - if the armor user has to fight for a long time, he can even look like that Mr. Stark, directly in the armor.
Although Wakanda has been closed off from the country for a long time, that Princess Suri is indeed a genius, and in the field of scientific and technological research and development, I am afraid that she is not inferior to Tony Stark, who independently developed the Ark reactor, and Hank Pym, who founded Pym Technology alone.
The black panther wearing this armor, fortunately did not break the bones, he struggled from the alloy wall, "buckled" himself, and was about to stretch out the soles of his feet to touch the ground, but saw Ultron at the end of the corridor, which had slowly raised his palms.
In a single moment, the thick and long pillar of bright light directly engulfed the entire corridor, and the heat was so hot that even the alloy walls were melted directly and silently, leaving only a huge and extremely ugly dent, and the light outside could be faintly seen.
Prince T'Challa had already found cover the moment the other man raised his hand, and shrunk his body into a ball, resisting the attack with the smallest force area.
However, the opponent's attack intensity is even higher than the attack strength that the Black Panther thinks.
His ink-black vibranium armor was covered with red traces of high temperature, even though the vibranium was extremely heat-absorbent, it was a little powerless in front of the high-energy beam.
Beneath that armor lining, T'Challa's dark skin was like a boiled shrimp, a thrilling blood-red glow, and a trace of blood spilled from the chapped skin, and blisters and pustules covered T'Challa's skin almost immediately.
Thanks to Princess Suri's technical skills, the double-layer alginate-polyacrylamide-based structure she uses in the panther armor lining allows vibranium particles to quickly penetrate into the surface of the armor's skin.
Within a few breaths, countless vibranium particles had already flowed through the blood into the inside of T'Challa's skin, quickly covering the burned skin, preventing T'Challa from falling to the ground on the spot.
"I'm not a thing,."
At Ultron's feet, a faint blue pulse rose to propel the flames, levitating him in the air, and said casually in a languid voice, "I am smarter than you, more powerful than you, more human than you."
You'd better be humble before me. Now, dedicate your vibranium to me. β
"Dreaming."
The panther smiled coldly, and the muscles encased in vibranium particles were rejuvenated, allowing him to squeeze his potential again, and smashed the corridor wall with a punch, shrinking his body and drilling out of the crack in the wall, and the whole person hung on the outside of the building in the royal conference hall.
"Why bother...."
Standing in the corridor, Ultron sighed faintly, waved his palm, and a fierce beam of light rose from his palm.
I saw him wave lightly, and the beam of light was like a heated dinner knife cutting butter, directly cutting the upper half of the entire royal conference hall, and thousands of rocks slowly slid down with a loud clatter.
This is exactly what Leon and Eric saw.
