Chapter 42: Inviting Tony
Tony defeated Obadia Stein's enlarged version of the Mark One. Inevitably, the battle scene between the two also fell into the eyes of the people of New York.
The U.S. Homeland Strategic Intervention Enforcement Logistics Department, now renamed S.H.I.E.L.D., has devised a pretext for Tony. But Tony, who likes to show off by nature, promised to cooperate with the government, but at the public press conference, Tony obviously didn't want to go against his heart, otherwise he wouldn't be Tony.
"Indeed, it sounds a little too sci-fi, I'm not a hero, I have so many personality flaws, and I've caused so much trouble for everyone."
"According to the script." Colonel Roddy stood beside Tony and whispered a reminder that Tony had a criminal record, and he was afraid that Tony would talk nonsense again.
"Okay, that's the actual situation." Tony slowly put down the manuscript in his hand, "I'm Iron Man." β
The scene of the press conference was once again in an uproar because of Tony's words, and Colonel Roddy touched his forehead helplessly.
Tony's vanity is satisfied, and he is once again in the media and popular spotlight. He loved to live a life of adoration and praise.
After Tony announced that he was Iron Man, two weeks passed, and Wei Ran finally completed his learning task and stored all kinds of scientific knowledge in the plane of "Iron Man" in his mind.
Wei Ran, who had been at Tony's house for nearly a month, finally wanted to move, and his next stop was to go to Elysium.
Elysium is set in a future time and space where the earth's ecology has been severely damaged and is unsuitable for human life.
Although the earth world in the plane of Elysium is very technologically advanced, the development of the entire society is seriously deformed.
Before the fossil energy on Earth was exhausted, the human upper echelons spent more than half a century building a luxurious paradise for the rich in space, the Elysium space station.
The space station hosts anyone who can afford to land and live, where every "citizen" of Elysium can enjoy the most luxurious material living conditions ever seen by mankind. The vast majority of the people who remain on the planet live in poverty and in all kinds of dangerous conditions. The gap between the rich and the poor and the gap in life expectancy in human society as a whole has reached an unprecedented level.
The per capita allocation of education and medical resources has reached a new low in human history. The wealthy people living on the Elysium space station enjoy all the fruits of high-tech civilization, and their lifespan can reach the limit of their lives, and they will not be plagued by any diseases, hunger, cold and other troubles.
And ordinary people, who are no different from them in terms of physique, can only live on the surface of the land where crime is rampant, energy is scarce, and pollution is serious, and the average life expectancy has reached a record low!
There are a lot of things in the plane of Elysium. Such as the Elysium Space Station, Armor Launcher, MedPod3000 Fully Automated Medical Platform, Artificial Intelligence, Robotic Production Chain, Large Construction Factory, Spaceship, Advanced Weapons, and many more. It has a complete technology tree, and the unknown medical rays in the medpod3000 fully automated medical platform play a crucial role in Wei Wei's future plan.
This world is the first plane that Wei Ran intends to completely occupy, because the plane of "Elysium" is very important to Wei Ran's early development, and to a certain extent, even if he gives up the plane of "Iron Man", he cannot give up "Elysium".
Just as the "Never-End" plane allowed him to obtain the evolution of the brain, so that he could easily reserve knowledge in the early stage, "Elysium" occupies an equal position in the early development direction set by Wei Ran, allowing Wei Ran to have a safe and stable base camp, research center, and material output plane, giving Wei Ran a most basic scientific and technological accumulation plane.
The plot of "Elysium" revolves around two main lines, one is the tyrannical official of Minister Dracht, who is colluding with Carlisle, the developer of the space system, to launch a coup d'Γ©tat to seize power through the restart process of Elysium; On the other hand, Max, a worker who has received a lethal dose of radiation and has only five days to live, hopes to cure his illness by helping the underworld boss Spold kidnap Carlisle, a wealthy businessman, to get a ticket to smuggle Elysium for treatment; Max accidentally intercepted the program key for Elysium's restart, thus staging a conspiracy to kill and survive the resistance.
Most of the class maintenance and force in the Elysium plane are in the hands of artificial intelligence. As long as Wei Ran takes advantage of his familiarity with the plot, he can set himself as the supreme ruler of Elysium when he restarts the system, and then complete the goal of occupying Elysium.
This time to explore the plane, Wei Ran plans to take Tony with him, and he wants to use this opportunity to test whether Tony is really suitable to be his teammate and explore the plane with him. After all, as Wei Ran traveled through more and more worlds, and the stalls became bigger and bigger, he alone could not support such a big family business, and he needed the help of his teammates.
If Tony doesn't live up to his expectations during this expedition, he'll carefully consider whether to remove Tony from the list of Explorer teammates and let him focus on R&D.
Now that Tony is going to be invited to explore the Elysium plane, there are a few things that he needs to explain.
Wei Ran chose a night time, when Tony was just free, and the fly in the ointment was that Pepper Potz was also there.
Recently, Tony and Potts have been glued to a noticeable amount of time, and the two of them seem to have a tendency to fall in love early.
"Tony, I'm leaving." Wei Ran said to Tony.
"Well, okay, you're always welcome here." Tony had no intention of keeping it, perhaps he was glad that Wei Ran would no longer encroach on his personal space.
"I mean, I'm leaving this world."
"Hey, man, you can't figure it out? Or do you want to go back to the alien world? β
"It's not that I can't think about it, and I don't want to go to other worlds, to be precise, I'm going to other worlds."
"Wait, you're kind of confusing me. To another world? What do you mean? β
"Have you heard of the theory of parallel space?" Wei Ran asked.
"I've heard of it, but people who are a little normal don't believe in this unreliable theory. Potze, call my personal doctor and ask him to come quickly. Tony turned to Potts in a funny way.
"Tony, when your best friend is serious about talking to you, you should listen carefully." Potz reminded on the side, although she didn't believe it either, she was still very good and didn't reveal any skeptical or disbelieving expressions.
Tony shrugged.
"What if this theory could be true?" Wei Ran continued.
"You're not going to tell me that you're from Earth in a parallel universe?" Tony reacted quickly and looked at Wei Ran with strange eyes.
"Let me introduce myself again, my name is Wei Ran, a time traveler who travels through various universes."
"Well, my friend, you always like to joke with me, and I think I should eat some donuts now and digest the information well." Tony stood up, with a very nerve-wracking expression, obviously he didn't intend to listen to Wei Ran continue.
If you want the other person to believe in you, seeing is believing is always better than empty words.
Wei Ran took Tony, who turned around and wanted to leave, and followed Potts, who was sitting on the side, to instantly cross the main plane and came to the "Neverending" plane.
Based on New York time, the time point of the "Iron Man" plane is around 8 p.m., and the time of the "Neverending" plane is around 12 p.m.
Suddenly arriving in a strange place, Tony and Potz didn't seem too surprised, they had already experienced Wei Ran's ability to teleport people.
When they see that the timing is wrong, Tony and Potts think they are on the other side of the world, but soon, they discover something shocking: this is New York, a completely unfamiliar New York City. There were no people they knew, and no Stark Enterprises. But those identical landmarks remind Tony and Potts that they are really in New York City, New York City in another time and space.
"It's incredible." Tony, who was rarely moved, exclaimed.
"Oh my God, this is really New York." Little Pepper Potts seemed even more excited, urging Wei Ran to take her and Tony to have a good visit to a different New York.
Wei Ran took Tony and the two to his pharmaceutical company, a super pharmaceutical company in New York that covers no less than Stark Enterprises, and received orders from all over the world. took Tony and Potts for a good walk around New York, and when it was close to dark, the two who had been excited were sent back to the "Iron Man" plane in the morning.
It seems that for the first plane trip, Tony and Potts need to reverse jet lag.
