Chapter 40: Participation in the Production
Tony's press conference went on as usual, and Wei Ran also followed Tony to his press conference, where he met Obadia Stan, the villain of the first part of "Iron Man", whom Tony called Obi's strong old man and the second largest shareholder of Stark Enterprises.
There were a lot of people, not just reporters, but as Tony got out of the car, everyone around him began to applaud, and Obadiah Stan greeted him with a smile on his face. But Wei Ran keenly observed, there was no joy in his eyes, but a fierce that was not easy to detect.
Walking into the hall of the press conference, the crowd of reporters instantly surrounded Tony, and Wei Ran stood aside with Pepper Pots, when a middle-aged man in a straight suit came over and greeted Potts, "Miss Potts." ”
"What's the matter?"
"Can I tell you a word?"
"I'm afraid not now, if you have any questions, you can interview Tony, I'm not convenient to answer." Potz politely declined.
"I'm not a journalist, I'm Agent Coulson, representing the Homeland Strategic Intervention Enforcement Logistics Department." Coulson took a business card from his bosom and handed it to Potze.
"It's a tongue-twisting name."
"We're working on this little issue as well."
"Actually, we were approached by the Department of Defense, the FBI, and the cIa yesterday afternoon."
"We're an independent department, and we're more centralized, and we'd like to hear the details of Stark's escape." Coulson, seeing that Potts had misunderstood what he meant, interrupted Potts to tell him what he was trying to do.
The Territorial Strategic Intervention Implementation Logistics Department, later S.H.I.E.L.D., stood beside Wei Ran was Phil Coulson, a senior agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Feeling Wei Ran's careful gaze, Coulson smiled politely at Wei Ran and did not speak.
Wei Ran's heart moved, his observation was very delicate, just from the way Coulson looked at him, he knew that he probably knew himself, and it seemed that he might have entered the field of vision of S.H.I.E.L.D.
But even if he started to be noticed by S.H.I.E.L.D., Wei Ran didn't care too much, and he was already mentally prepared when he first entered the "Iron Man" plane to attack Tony.
"I'll arrange it, okay?" Pepper Potz said that he would refuse to talk now, but Coulson didn't dwell on it, said thank you and left. But when he left, he glanced at Wei Ran very vaguely, and Wei Ran could clearly calculate that Coulson's gaze had obviously stayed for a few tenths of a second longer when he swept towards him.
Tony on the podium behaved very calmly, without the frizziness and pompousness of the past. He decided to announce the closure of Stark Industries' weapons division at this press conference, a decision that Tony didn't tell anyone beforehand, even Pepper Potz, whom he trusted the most.
"I didn't make it to see my father one last time, I wanted to ask him what he thought about the production of munitions. Has there ever been a contradiction? Have you ever wavered? It's still the same as the media reported, a tough guy. I witnessed the murder of young soldiers, under the weapons I had intended to protect them. Tony's expression was a little sad, and he remembered the group of young soldiers who had died at the gunpoint of the terrorists to protect him.
"What does he mean by this press conference?" Colonel James Roddy came to Potts, and he could tell that there was something unusual about Tony.
"I don't know what's going on, I don't know what he's trying to do."
"I also found that I was becoming part of this irresponsible world." Tony continued.
"Mr. Stark." The reporter interrupted Tony's speech.
"Please."
"What the hell happened there?" That's what the reporters want to know, and they're not here to hear Tony's life insights when they're here for Tony's press conference.
"I woke up, I realized that I could contribute more to the world than just making weapons." Tony was so jealous about what happened to him that he wouldn't tell the reporters. "So, I've decided to close Stark Enterprise's weapons department with immediate effect."
As soon as Tony's words fell, the scene was in an uproar.
"Until I find a new purpose for the company, and everything else that I feel is in the right direction, and in line with the best interests of the country." Obadiah Stan rushed to the stage to interrupt Tony's speech and invite him down.
After Tony announced at a press conference that he was going to close the Stark Enterprise's weapons department, he instantly became the target of public criticism. Not only did Stark Enterprises' stock plummet by more than 50 percent, other shareholders were planning to oust Tony from power, the media also began to ridicule Tony, and there were even rumors that Tony had suffered a huge trauma, causing him to be mentally abnormal.
But Tony ignored the criticism of him and began to build a new Ark reactor to replace the old antique on his chest.
The manufacturing technology of the Ark reactor has been mastered by Wei Ran in the cave. It's the equivalent of an extra-large disposable battery, and it's very powerful. Tony's reproduction in the studio is even more powerful, and even the hardcover version of the Ark reactor that can provide the flight of the steel suit does not shy away from Wei Ran, after all, as long as this kind of thing masters its core technology, it is not difficult to improve on this basis.
And Tony, who has been with Wei Ran for a while, knows that his pervert and brain can run even faster than the most powerful computer.
Therefore, when Wei Ran offered to participate in the production of Mark II, Tony did not refuse and readily agreed.
"Tony, give you something good." In Tony's studio, Wei Ran said mysteriously.
"What's good? Is it your alien flying saucer? Tony joked.
"Something that will definitely make you fall in love with it." Wei Ran reached out and threw Tony a small, white transparent bottle containing half a bottle of liquid like water.
"What is this?" Tony held the bottle up in front of his eyes and shook it. "Hey man, I don't want to do anything harmful right now other than rolling the sheets with a woman, including **."
"It's not a drug, it's 100% alien technology that improves the brain's abilities without any side effects. If you don't want it, give it back to me. ”
If he didn't dare to try new things, Tony wouldn't be a dead Tony. Shaking the white vial again, Tony opened it suspiciously and drank it.
"It doesn't feel anything, it's like water, you're not kidding me again, are you?" Tony looked at Wei Ran suspiciously.
"The effect of the medicine has been adjusted by me, it is more gentle, and it is suitable for ordinary people, so you need to wait for about three minutes." Wei Ran shrugged.
It was said that it was three minutes, but it was actually a conservative time when the effect of the drug was fully turned on, and gradually Tony began to feel that he was a little different, and he found that his brain began to become very flexible, and his mind was extremely clear, and even some small details of his previous life that he had forgotten could be clearly remembered as long as he thought about it. His vision is starting to change from one to the next, everything in his eyes is clearly imprinted in his mind, and his eyes are working with his brain, like a super 3D scanner, and every detail is recorded in his mind.
If you compare it with before, Tony feels that he used to be like a highly myopic person, seeing the world in a blurred state, but now with a pair of suitable glasses, the real world is instantly clear.
"Awesome, man, what's this?" Tony asked excitedly.
"Brain Awakening Pharmacy No. 3 can increase the utilization rate of ordinary people's brains by about 10%, and the effect is maintained for 24 hours." The Brain Awakening Elixir is an improved version of Wei Ran's anticipation based on nzT-48, to put it bluntly, it is a weak version of nzT-48 without side effects, but it cannot directly evolve the brain.
"I see, did you use this potion to learn knowledge? If I had this medicine before, I wouldn't have studied hard. ”
"That's not going to work, to reach my level, this potion needs to be at least twice as effective."
With the help of Wei Ran and the Brain Awakening Elixir, Tony didn't make Mark II much faster than in the original plot, because Mark II would have already taken shape in Tony's brain, and the work done was more to debug and change, and then hand it over to Tony's artificial intelligence butler Jarvis to manufacture parts in the production room below the villa.
During this period, Tony responded to Wei Ran's words and completely fell in love with the brain-sobering potion.
It's not that the sobering potion will be successful, but after Tony has experienced the feeling of overclocking, he no longer wants to fall in love with this super Tony state like before. As the saying goes, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.
Wei Ran was also happy to provide Tony with this potion, but it was only enough for Tony alone.
The Mark II was made, the whole was silvery-white, and it was truly the first shaped armor, which was more detailed and complete than the toy-like Mark One. Better powertrain, flight control, sturdy outer steel armor. In addition, a computer system is installed, which can be controlled by Jarvis, and a virtual screen can be displayed in the helmet for easy observation and operation.
