Chapter 17: Iron Man Who Managed to Escape
"Tony, we don't have a lot of time. How sure are you?" asked a middle-aged man who looked elegant in a remote cave in Afghanistan, with a little unease.
The person he asked was none other than the super-tycoon the world was looking for, Tony Stark, the chairman of Stark Industries.
"Ethan, it's almost there. Just make this big guy and we'll be able to get out of here, and you can be with your family!" Tony said, struggling to adjust a pneumatic valve.
And the pneumatic valve is just a small part of the big guy in front of you.
A silvery-white steel armor stood in front of Tony and the two.
The armor is made rough and has a wild beauty. Large pieces of alloy are welded together, and the welds are exposed after a simple grinding.
It seems that some of the oversized volumes do not give people a bloated feeling, but instead reveal a fierce and powerful taste.
Tony Stark adjusted the pneumatic valve and stood up to look at his new product, a scaled-down version of the Ark reactor installed on his chest.
After more than 20 failed tests this year, Tony finally completed the miniaturization test of the Ark reactor under the threat of his life.
"Tony, did you find out. Recently, there seem to be fewer people in the Ten Rings Gang. The leader who used to monitor our progress every day didn't come. "Dr. Ethan is helping Tony tune the braking performance of the Warframe.
"It's a good thing Ethan, I don't know why they left, but it makes us more prepared and more confident to leave. "Now Tony can no longer see the shadow of the frivolous playboy he used to be.
Maybe he still has these special features in his nature, but there is a kind of composure in his body, and this attack has made him more aware of his responsibility, his responsibility to the world as the big boss of an arms company.
Tony and Ethan are putting the finishing touches on the steel armor that Tony Stark has named MK1, and they're both waiting for the dawn to come!
Tony and Ethan, who were in the cave, had no idea about it. Because the commissioning of MK1 has reached the final critical step.
"Ethan came and helped me cover the armor in the back. "Tony is wearing the MK1 Iron Armor.
However, due to the lack of sufficient devices, the MK1 has few smart devices. In most cases, the device must be put on manually.
"Okay, Tony. Do you think we can do it?" asked Ethan as he covered MK1's back armor and connected several lines inside the armor with Tony's knowledge.
"Don't forget, I'm Tony Stark, the best genius in the world. Even in the cage, Tony is still confident.
The terrorist base appears quiet today, as the leaders of both gangs have taken large numbers of men out to capture civilians.
Only a handful of terrorists remained at the base to visit their homes.
Tony and Ethan's preparation was well done. No terrorists have discovered their anomalies.
Tony smoothly put on the MK1 armor and said to Ethan. "Doctor, stand behind me in a moment, and remember not to run around. β
"This armor is made of titanium alloy, although it is not as strong as gold titanium alloy. However, it should be enough to withstand the attacks of ordinary assault rifles. Tony admonished.
"I'll cover up when we get out. Remember those pickups we saw when we went out before? You can find a way to start one, and then I'll cover you and we can run away together!"
Tony devised a simple tactic, and Dr. Ethan was a scholar with little combat experience, but nodded firmly, saying he could do it.
The cave where Tony and the two were held was sealed off by an iron gate, which was originally sturdy and papier-mΓ’chΓ© in the face of MK1's powerful power.
The Miniature Ark Reactor provided reliable power for Tony's Warframe, and it only took three hits for the heavy iron door to be kicked open by Tony.
The destruction of the Iron Gate finally alerted the other terrorists in the base. Three people came with rifles to check it out.
The three terrorists had just appeared at the entrance of the cave when MK1's thick steel arms flew straight away.
Relying on his invulnerable armor, Tony traveled unhindered along the way. Successfully killed the exit of the cave.
Someone at the base set up a Browning M2 heavy machine gun and began firing at Tony.
The Browning M2 heavy machine gun is very powerful, and if it is paired with tungsten core bullets, it can shoot through most of the world's armored vehicles.
Fortunately, terrorists don't have something as high-end as a tungsten core bomb.
HOWEVER, EVEN WITH THE STANDING 12.7MM CALIBER BULLETS, IT IS STILL DIFFICULT FOR TONY TO MOVE FORWARD.
"Damn!" Tony cursed, forcing himself to steady his retreat and manually launch the missile he had loaded on his forearm.
The bow crossbow individual missile, produced by Stark Industries, is simple to operate and very powerful.
The missile made a brilliant arc and hit the heavy machine-gun position directly. In the deafening explosion, the entire machine-gun position was reduced to rubble.
"Tony ~ get in the car!" Dr. Ethan found a pickup truck and used his knowledge of circuits to do a keyless ignition. He's now beckoning Tony to get in the car and get out of here.
Tony stepped into the truck, and the heavy MK1 gave the pickup a pause, but it wasn't overloaded.
MK1's arms are constantly spraying bullets, and the fierce tongue of fire makes it impossible for the terrorists to take their heads.
Because the manpower has been taken away by the two bosses, the base is currently seriously understaffed, and it is impossible to suppress Tony with firepower.
As the pickup truck drove out of the base, Tony fired another crossbow missile at the munitions piled up inside the base.
Since Stark Industries' weapons have caused so much killing, let me put an end to this!
Tony had a resolute look on his face.
The missile hit the target and exploded violently, and this explosion directly led to the destruction of all munitions.
A violent explosion engulfed everything inside the entire terrorist base with terrible heat.
This explosion also gives a farewell to the old Tony Stark, and the new Tony Stark is reborn at this time.
"Ethan, wait and stop the car. Tony said as he sat in the dump of the pickup truck in the MK1. By this time, Tony and the others had already left the base far away.
"What's wrong, Tony?" asked Ethan as he stopped the car and went to the pickup's dump with some concern, he was afraid that Tony had been injured by the fight just now.
"No~ Don't stare at me Ethan with this kind of look at the dead. I'm fine. Tony said. "Just help me take this thing off. β
With that, Tony jumped out of the truck wearing MK1 and asked Ethan to help unload the armor together.
It took a long time for the two of them to take off all their armor. "What are you going to do, Tony?" Ethan asked, seeing Tony fiddling with his armor.
"Destroy it! Don't let anyone else find out. Neither can the US military, this is a weapon of mass destruction, and people with bad intentions cannot be allowed to get it. I left a self-detonation device when I made it. "Tony is setting MK1's self-detonation program.
"Tony I think you're more admirable now, as a person, not just as a scientific genius. Ethan said with a smile.
"Ha~ Didn't I look like a person before?" said Tony, with a raised brow. "Alright Doctor, let's get out of here. Ninety seconds later, the big guy will explode. I don't want to stay here anymore. β
Tony and the two got into the pickup and left quickly.
Ninety seconds later, MK1's self-destruct program was successfully activated, and a violent explosion and intense heat directly caused MK1 to turn into a puddle of molten iron of no value. Didn't leave anything useful.
