Chapter 31: You're Dead
It's late at night, and the party is over. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Tony Stark wandered alone in his old studio, blown by the evening breeze, making him feel a little lonely. This wasn't his usual Tony Stark, and this wasn't his usual studio - at least not the big hole on the side. New York, along with the Stark Tower, was doomed to be abandoned, and a lot of equipment was to be demolished, including Stark Industries' iconic fusion reactor.
In the future, there will be nothing left here but landscape lights.
"Jarvis", he called the AI butler. "Sir." "Help me open it." The passage to the lower level opened in front of him, and Tony strolled down the stairs. The lights light up with the pace, illuminating the studio below.
In the clear light, the steel suits of the past dynasties placed in the window glow in the folds! Tony walked over to the cabinet containing the Mark III and gently stroked the glass in front of the suit with his fingers. When the novelty wore off, Tony truly understood that he was actually a big kid - that compared to the Killing Machine's "Infinite Justice" Gundam, his favorite thing was these "flashy" suits.
The Iron Suit isn't as powerful as the Gundam, but it's undoubtedly more stylish and coolβthat's what Stark really wants. The difference is that the Gundam can only destroy enemies on the battlefield, but the Iron Suit allows him to dance on the stage of the Metropolis! Therefore, if nothing else, he will officially seal the "Infinite Justice" Gundam and put on the Iron Suit again, taking the name "Iron Man".
As for the "Infinite Justice" Gundam, unless an invincible enemy appears again...... In the world of Marvel, this possibility is very high.
"What is this?" Tony paused and picked up a chip from his workbench. The place has been cleared, so the chips resting on the empty workbench look very conspicuous. "It looks like an A07X6, but I never use this chip, where did that come from? Jarvis, you know what? β
"There is no monitoring or purchase history, and no similar model of chip has been found, sir." Jarvis replied.
Tony flipped the chip over and over and looked at it, and seemed to understand something......
Not only Tony, but also major countries on the planet, major laboratories, famous scientists, technology companies, etc., have received similar chips one after another. Some of the chips store holographic technology, some contain battery technology reform, and some are image innovation, cosmic engine...... All of them are civilian technologies that are widely used by the current mainstream civilizations in the galaxy.
The methods of the companies or individuals who receive the technology are also different, some choose to hand it over to the state, some hide it as a "golden finger", and some simply choose to start a joint venture with large enterprises...... No matter what you do, a booming wave of technology is sweeping the world unstoppably.
The great man once said, "If you fall behind, you will be beaten."
Now, the earth that has received the ticket will be able to shake off the backward situation and march into the new century with its head held high. This was the last gift of the Dawn to the world.

"Mona and the Mona Gods", "How to Defeat the Lord God Alona the Great", "The Immigration Problem of the Dawn".
The three major puzzles that plagued Dawn were placed on each of the three sides of the holographic screen's triangular prism, with more detailed branches and intel listed below, with the adult version of Alona's hologram being particularly eye-catching. Nana was biting a handkerchief at that photo - by the way, because of the fruitful harvest of Lu Yuan's previous worlds, Nana was a few years younger.
Xiaolongbao is transformed into Wangzi small steamed buns.
"Internal and external troubles", Lu Yuan complained irresponsibly. Seeing that he looked lazy and about to fall asleep, he was just lazy.
"You're the captain!" "Those who lose the fight are not qualified to be verbose!" "Captain, please take responsibility! "It's the captain's fault!" - Lao Lu, who said cool words, was immediately blamed by everyone.
"What do you say?" Lao Lu suddenly shot the case! "Who said it's all my pot?" He pointed to the catalyst and said, "You were secretly downloading a picture of Big Alona just now, it's quite desktop, right?!" β
was exposed all at once, and the catalyst actually blushed for the first time......
"Well, you're a fan of fish lips, so you don't care about your IQ arrears." Lu Yuan turned the finger at Ms. Liming, "If you weren't always like an old hen, protecting those immigrants under her wings, Lao Tzu would have been able to toss them out!" Bullshit dish boiled! Believe it or not, if you give me the bottom level of the spaceship now, I can make this 'immigration problem' disappear completely tomorrow!" Do you dare to give?! β
"Dead ...... Crashed. Lady Dawn's image twisted and vanished from the room.
"And you're going to be a dead man for money!" Lu Yuan turned around and began to spray Zhao Min, "Did you sell all the remaining garbage goods from a few worlds to the Marvel Universe?" Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble? And the production line of the toy that made the spirit dream is said to have been scrapped four? How much did you sell! Is it waiting for you to leave, and the Marvel world will directly break out into an economic crisis? β
"You have no conscience, my mother doesn't make money for you!" Zhao Min argued with a flushed face, but his tone was obviously a little weak. She was really ruthless in her money this time, and sold all the old goods at the bottom of the Dawn box! An economic crisis is impossible, but economic chaos is inevitable for a while.
"And you...... Ay! Don't run! β
If you don't run, will you stay and be sprayed? It would be a fool not to run, and the conference room suddenly dispersed. A moment later, the empty conference hall was filled with only the three major questions that were still spinning, and a few pieces of paper.
"Three questions......" Lu Yuan put his feet on the table and fell into deep thought.
*****
Mass Effect World, the home planet Earth, is a small town in the Hubei region.
After the wave of urbanization, this kind of modern town began to bloom everywhere in China. Towns are usually limited to 100,000 people, have excellent public facilities, and are located away from major traffic arteries. This kind of town has undergone a considerable degree of landscape transformation, so that the town stands between the mountains and the jungle, and has a beautiful living environment and landscape.
Most of the town's affairs are managed by a Super VI, and the town's "three-person council" has the final veto power. Many people find it scary to be "ruled" by a computer β in fact, a computer that handles affairs in full accordance with the law and public norms is a blessing for all ordinary people, because of fairness.
Do you want an iron-faced and selfless "machine" or a judge who may bend the law in favoritism? The answer is self-explanatory. Those who oppose the machine are actually opposed to "my privileges should be taken away".
Jingshan Town is a typical such town. Due to the recent impact of the "second wave of galactic development", the town has once again lost a large number of people, and is in urgent need of new immigrants to replenish. Therefore, when Wang Jiawei, who had escaped from the Dawn and went incognito, arrived here, he was easily accepted by the town and settled down.
With a signed-off home (equivalent to an unsecured interest-free loan, you can live in it for a certain number of years to have full ownership), four temporary employment contracts and a free training class β Jingshan showed Wang Jiawei her passion. However, the enthusiasm of Jingshan only made him feel terrified...... Because Wang Jiawei knows very well in his heart that the Dawn will not let go of any traitors!
Not only because of the defection itself, but also because once the Dawn acquiesces in his departure, it is equivalent to acknowledging the legitimacy of leaving, then the entire immigrant class on board will collapse! Whether to participate in the next cosmic decisive battle with the Mona people, or to live in a high-tech civilization like Starlink, everyone will do such a multiple-choice question.
Isn't it?
"Ding Dong~" The doorbell suddenly rang and made Wang Jiawei shudder suddenly.
"You... Don't look good? It took him courage to open the door several times, only to see a welcoming face. Welcome, young man, the town needs a great boy like you. Rest assured, you'll love it... Ah, I'm your neighbor... Welcome to Jingshan! Feel free to knock on my door if you need anything, and you are also welcome to come to your home. β
"Thank you! It's really a hassle for you... Yes, I promise you'll be welcome, yes... As long as I have time, thank you! Thank you! β
Wang Jiawei used almost all his acting skills to deal with the enthusiastic neighbor. When the neighbor turned to leave, he almost collapsed on the porch. Thankfully, though, it's just overly enthusiastic neighbors, not the Dawn's law enforcement forces...... Does the Dawn have law enforcement? He smiled self-deprecatingly, took the box of Huangshi Hong Kong cakes from his neighbor, and closed the door.
"Looks like you're getting along well with your neighbors." A man's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Bump!" , the box containing the Huangshi Hong Kong cake slipped from Wang Jiawei's hand and broke into several petals on the floor. A golden snack rolled on the ground, stopping next to a pair of military boots. A man with a Chinese character face dressed in a military uniform entered his room at some point and sat on the sofa facing the door in the living room.
"Sir Ai... I thought the Dawn would send someone to deal with me... But I didn't expect it to be you. Wang Jiawei laughed miserably. Seeing Ai Guoliang, he immediately gave up hope of continuing to abscond. Ai Guoliang is one of the deputy commanders of the Marine Corps, and he has 800 heavy mechs under his command! This is the power that can destroy a planet, not to mention that he knows how powerful Ai Guoliang is.
Not to mention, the forces of the Dawn are now vaguely the emperors of the major races in the galaxy, and it is not too simple to obtain information about certain people - there is nowhere to escape in the first place!
"Why are you leaving?" Ai Guoliang has a standard national character face, and he has always been a soldier, even his conversation sounds like an interrogation. Ai Guoliang took out an electronic board and put it in front of Wang Jiawei, "This agreement was agreed to by all of us at the beginning, and it still has your signature written on it - seeing that you are about to defeat the Mona people and rebuild your homeland - you chose to leave at this time, why?" I need an explanation. β
"Because I'm tired! Sir! Wang Jiawei sat down with his head in his hands, and said with some broken jars. It was clearly said that it was three years, but three years later, three years later, three years later, and three years later...... Sir, I've been killed twice! I participated in almost all of the battles on the Dawn! I'm tired, don't I have the right to stop? β
"It's okay to quit, but... Not here. Ai Guoliang pointed to his beautiful house, "You should understand that you don't belong to this world, you are an earthling from another universe!" In addition to the soul, even the prosthetic body you are using now belongs to the Dawn. If you want to stop, the captain will give you two options: you can choose to sleep in the dormancy chamber until the world is peaceful. Then we will wake you up to build your home with us; Or you can choose to go back to the Earth of our world, where you really call home......"
"Go to his real hometown! Go to his building home! Hearing Ai Guoliang's words, Wang Jiawei burst out violently. Even if we find a new planet, will that be my home? What's there? Quality Fly? Traveling around the galaxy? Or the wireless world outside the window? Nothing! Nothing! We fought to the death against the Mona, and in the end we ended up with a barren planet!
At that point, whatever we need will have to be built little by little from the Stone Age - maybe when I'm old enough to die, there will be interstellar communication, so that I can say, Hello Horse Damn Earth!!
And I'm just a soldier, sir! Sir, you have four Ph.D. titles, and in thirty years, maybe you'll be running for president of the world...... But what can I do? I'm just a soldier and I just want to live a little bit better......"
After the outburst, Wang Jiawei fell down on the sofa, he was silent for a while and then said without raising his head, "I know my words sound ugly... Shoot, sir... I can't be as selfless as the captain, I choose to give up... Don't forget to tell Ms. Dawn to de-energize my dormant chamber.
That's it. β
Wang Jiawei closed his eyes. The captain is selfless? What gives you such delusions? The corners of Ai Guoliang's mouth twitched, and he finally restrained himself from complaining.
"Then that's it. Goodbye, Wang Jiawei! Ai Guoliang took out a pistol and put it on Wang Jiawei's temple, and pulled the trigger without hesitation! The bullet passed through Wang Jiawei's skull, and the evaporated blood made the room feel a little more bloody. ββ¦β¦ I love your films. β
Wang Jiawei's body leaned quietly on the sofa, as if asleep.
Ai Guoliang stood up and strode out the door.

"Ding Dong ~ Ding Dong ~"
"Boom! Phew! β
"It's coming! Damn, I'm coming! Vomit~" was woken up by the doorbell and the sound of slamming the door, Wang Jiawei sat up in a panic, but suddenly hit the top of his head. After he hurriedly opened the lid on the top of his head, another nauseous feeling made him lie on the "bedside" and vomit wildly.
"Boom!" The sound of slamming the door sounded again, and the voice of his new neighbor shouted outside, "Wang Jia, are you there?" I saw that you didn't turn on the lights, is something wrong? If you need help, I can call the police for you. β
"Gross~ No! I'm fine! Thank you! Ahem~ I'm just... It's just that... Overslept! Wang Jiawei hurriedly said. He felt like he was spitting out a bucket of water, and even his lungs were coughing up. In this case, how can it be seen by the neighbors.
"Really?" Neighbors will be suspicious.
"Really! I promise! Oh... Give me a few minutes and I'll pack up and visit you. β
ββ¦ All right. Although the neighbor didn't believe it much, as long as Wang Jiawei was fine, the rest belonged to personal privacy, and he didn't plan to interfere. Hearing the footsteps of his neighbors gradually moving away, Wang Jiawei finally breathed a sigh of relief and poured back into the "bathtub".
"Turn on the lights!" He said, and the lights in the room lit up.
Just like Wang Jiawei thought - he was lying in a dormant chamber filled with nutrient solution. And this dormant warehouse, which is still marked with the sign of the "Dawn" migrant ship, is now placed in the Jingshan Town hut he just got. Wang Jiawei felt that his mind was in a mess, he clearly remembered that he was shot in the head by Chief Ai Guoliang! Even if he was resurrected again, it would be in the Dawn, what is this scene now?
The "corpse" on the couch is gone. Along with his personal armor, weapons, and multi-tools, he disappeared...... It can be said that with the exception of the dormant chamber, all related items marked with the Dawn have been "recovered".
Looking at the emerald green nutrient solution spit out everywhere on the surface of the dormant warehouse, Wang Jiawei finally confirmed that the body he was using now was his body! That is, although the Dawn took everything from him, it left his original body to him?
"What's that?" Wang Jiawei, who finally calmed down, found that in addition to the dormant warehouse, there was an extra piece of paper in the room, on which a bank chip was placed. The bank's chip should be stored in his deposits over the years, so what is the content on the paper?
Wang Jiawei picked up the piece of paper and put it in the lightβit was his death notice.
Wang Jiawei is dead.
