Chapter 374: I'm Ugly, But I'm Not Gentle
Knowing what happened to Tony, Susan and the others were very embarrassed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
A world-renowned public figure has made the military go through such a lot of trouble, and there is no other semicolon than this one.
Of course, the Fantastic Four don't know that the person who really gives the military a headache has not yet appeared.
After all, the gamma experiment was still going on normally, and at this time, Bruce Banner was in a hot fight with General Ross's daughter, and did not become Hulk, and was regarded as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh by the military.
After Banner turns into the Hulk and launches Operation New York, he will become the military's most wanted man, and he is the helpless one.
"Tony is an expert in energy weapons, can we get in touch with him and ask him to help us design a switch that can expand the power of the energy blocker to ten meters away?"
After hearing Tony's story, Reed thought of his side and said, "In our design, Silver Surfer's power comes from the surfboard, and if you want to defeat him, you have to disconnect him from the surfboard. At present, the energy blocker I designed uses the principle of tachyon pulses, and the effective distance is only 10 meters. I'm not sure how to get him to let his guard down and let us activate this device within ten meters of him! ”
The distance of ten meters is very far away, and it is very close to say that it is close.
With such a high level of intelligence, it is impossible for people to approach him casually, let alone let a stranger debug an unknown machine by his side.
Reed's concern is very reasonable, and the effective distance of the energy blocker is the biggest uncertainty at the moment.
If the barrier can be expanded to a range of 100 meters, or 1 kilometer, the success rate of the operation will undoubtedly be higher.
"Expand the range?" Hearing Reed's proposal, Wu Ming was a little moved.
Regarding the shortcomings of energy blockers, it has been reflected in the movie.
At that time, because General Hart launched the pulse missile, Norlin was severely smacked in order to protect Susan.
If it weren't for that accident, it was still unknown whether the Fantastic Four would be able to defeat Nolin.
This time, because of Wu Ming's intervention, many plots have been changed, and Wu Ming himself doesn't know whether the plot will be guided back to the right track.
"I can try."
Wu Ming is a man of action, and after thinking about it for a while, he called Tony.
On the other end of the phone, the voice was very noisy, and after a few seconds, Tony spoke: "Man, I'm very busy here, you can make a long story short." ”
"What are you up to?" Wu Ming also noticed the clutter on the other end of the phone, and couldn't help but ask.
Tony didn't hide it, he smiled bitterly twice on the phone, and said: "What else can I do, the court sent me a summons, saying that I was driving a steel armor and had flown over the secret military base twice, suspecting that I was suspected of espionage." Damn, is there anything more ridiculous than that, the weapons in the military bases, all sold to them by my company. These people actually think that I am taking pictures of military bases and using my findings as bargaining chips to sell them to secret services outside the country! ”
Taking photos of military bases and selling them to other countries really constitutes espionage.
Wu Ming remembers very well that some intelligence organizations would even solicit offline people on the Internet and ask ordinary people to provide them with these photos.
However, this kind of behavior requires a premise, that is, there is a lack of money, and you need to be ignorant of the law, plus you have to be bold and careful.
Tony, a billionaire and former weapons manufacturer, issued a subpoena against him in this name, apparently because the drunkard did not mean to drink.
"My lawyer told me that the two secret military bases had taken pictures of me flying over the bases. If they announce my trial in the name of espionage, even if I prove that I have not taken any photographs, I can throw me directly into my cell for the crime of spying on military intelligence. Moreover, this crime is not within the scope of bail, and I will need to be imprisoned for as long as the court sentences. ”
Tony's tone was helpless, and Wu Ming was also helpless when he heard it.
In the movie, Tony didn't get into such a big trouble, and the military didn't want to knock him into the dust at all costs.
No wonder, Tony, who is like a playboy, can't laugh anymore at this time.
It's just that he doesn't regret shutting down the weapons department later, and he verbally refuses to sell the steel armor. After all, all of this is the fault of this super weapon, and if it weren't for the Iron Armor, the military wouldn't have paid so much attention to the Stark Group, and would rather destroy it than let it go beyond its control.
"Half a step ahead is a genius, one step ahead is a madman!" I don't know why, Wu Ming suddenly thought of this sentence.
There's nothing wrong with the Iron Warframe, it's wrong that it's only 2002, and this technology is too dark and too advanced.
I'm afraid, in the eyes of the U.S. military, Tony is like the inventor of the atomic bomb, Dr. Oppenheimer under the Manhattan Project.
After the invention of the atomic bomb, Dr. Oppenheimer was said to have more bodyguards than the president, and there was a special person to record what he said to everyone.
At this time, it is understandable that the military wants to master this superpower.
After all, putting a weapon like the Iron Armor in the hands of one person, rather than the government, will make many bigwigs restless.
"Tony, it seems that your friends in the council didn't help you much. However, I have a chance here, and if successful, may turn your situation around. Considering Tony's situation, Wu Ming directly thought that the appearance of Norlin might be an opportunity for him.
As soon as Norin struck, a military base was destroyed, plus the death of 7,000 soldiers.
For the military, this is the top priority, even if Tony's steel armor has to be placed in second place.
"What chance?" Tony didn't know what was going on, and his tone was full of surprise.
Wu Ming was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "Didn't you watch the news?" ”
"What's the news?"
Tony was a little puzzled and said vaguely: "I've been crazy busy for the past two days, even if the president steps down, it has nothing to do with me." ”
In the past two days, the whole world has been reporting on climate anomalies.
Even if the government tried its best to suppress it, there were many people on the Internet who took pictures of Norin shuttling around the world, and doomsday theories emerged one after another.
Obviously, Tony is a little out of touch with the outside world, and he doesn't even know what Nolin's appearance represents.
"There's a silver alien who is trying to destroy Earth. At present, the military has destroyed a base by him, and more than seven thousand soldiers have been killed, so the military intends to arrest him. I've worked out an energy blocker here, which might be of some use to this alien. However, the energy blocker has a working range of only a short ten meters, and it would be a no-brainer if you could modify it to expand its range of capabilities. ”
Wu Ming originally wanted to ask Tony to help, but when he said that, he was helping Tony.
Tony thought about it for a moment, and didn't ask what the device was, but said with confidence: "If I help you solve this problem, is it possible to reverse the military's accusations against me?" ”
"It is possible that there are many factions within the military, and not all military representatives think that you should be hanged. If you prove with your actions that you and the military are still of the same mind, I think their differences will be even greater. ”
Among those who want Tony's death are the hawks in the military and the conglomerates that are at odds with Stark Industries.
The reason why the call for sanctioning Tony is so high is mainly because someone is secretly doing it, plus Tony's strong character, there is a feeling of ignorance of current affairs.
Wu Ming has reason to believe that if Tony helps this big favor, many people in the military will shut up for the time being.
In this way, on the basis of principle, the members of the council who are interested in Stark Industries can have more room for maneuver.
"What am I going to do? Let's start with that, I don't want to lick these people's butts, and if you have to do that, I'd rather be locked up for a few years and fight the case to the end. Tony's tone was humorous, but at the same time not lacking in seriousness.
Wu Ming knew that Tony was not joking, so he replied easily: "You don't need to do this, as long as you get involved, show your own value, and let the military know that you are still patriotic, there is room for maneuver in this matter." ”
"Well, I'll go to you, ready to meet the world's greatest scientist..."
With that, the phone was hung up.
The others turned their eyes to Wu Ming, wanting to know how the discussion went.
Wu Ming smiled back, raised the mobile phone he was holding, and said, "No problem, with this guy here, the working range of the energy blocker can definitely be expanded to the limit." ”
Hearing this, Susan and the others smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.
The name of the man, the shadow of the tree, the name of Tony's genius, the whole world is clear.
Although everyone doesn't want to admit it, everyone knows very well in their hearts that Tony is definitely second to none in the field of energy and weapon design.
"The development of the energy blocker has reached the final stage, and I will make the finished product before Tony arrives." Thinking of facing Tony, a world-class scientist, Reed also cheered up.
For the next two hours, Susan was in charge of calculations, Stone Man was in charge of debugging, Johnny was in charge of chores, and Reed was in charge of giving orders.
The small group of Fantastic Four, within the scope of this kind of work, is more efficient than ordinary people imagine.
When a strong wind blows outside, and the detector outside the laboratory signals the approach of an unknown object, the energy blocker has been placed on the table.
"This thing looks so ugly, like an oil lamp, and it's a medieval style!" Looking at the energy blocker, Wu Ming had a feeling of being deceived.
The transparent cube crystal is wrapped in a black iron sheet and has a handle on it.
At the bottom, there is a metal base, which houses the circuit and transmission board, as well as the rotary switch.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, this was what Susan and the others were busy with, he would not have believed that the energy blocker that was about to save the world would be such an ugly thing.
"We're on a tight schedule, and it's not in the scope of the aesthetic or anything." Reed's level of appreciation is not high, patted the energy blocker, and said with a smile: "Don't look at it ugly, it's not gentle at all!" ”
"Really?"
Wu Ming chose to reserve his opinion, turned his head to the stone man and said, "Ben, open the door of the laboratory, let our Iron Man friends, try the power of this thing." ”
The working principle of the energy blocker is to block the energy transmission in a short period of time and in a small area.
Theoretically, not only can it intercept, but the power that the surfboard provides to Silver Surfer should be just as effective against the house reactor in Iron Man's chest.
So, how effective this thing is, let Iron Man verify it first.
