New York is located near the Atlantic coast.

Tony Stark's mansion, seaside villa, Liberty City.

In an underground laboratory.

Tony Stark leaned back in his chair, his hands clutching his hair fiercely, his eyes blood-red and his expression extremely haggard.

"Mr. Stark, haven't you recovered from your emotions yet? Is your status precarious right now? I'm worried. ”

Jarvis asked, worried.

"Jarvis, don't worry about me, I just haven't figured it out yet, my mind is extremely confused right now, and there are a lot of problems in my mind one after another, and I don't know which one to solve first."

Tony Stark took a deep breath and replied slowly.

Jarvis paused and said, "Mr. Stark, I think we can solve them one by one, from simple to difficult, from unimportant to important, and make a list of these problems that bother you, and solve them one after another." ”

Hearing this, Tony Stark nodded, and said, "Jarvis, what you said makes a lot of sense, I should indeed make a list of problems first, and then solve them one by one, which is a good way." ”

Jarvis said optimistically: "So, Mr. Stark, let's ask the first problem now, let's solve the first problem together, and let's get off to a good start." ”

After hearing this, Tony Stark slowly sat up straight, reached out and rubbed his head, and praised Jarvis: "Is it a good start?" Jarvis, you're really getting smarter, you're getting more and more of your vocabulary, and now you're proficient in using Chinese vocabulary, which is a big improvement. ”

Jarvis happily replied, "Thank you, Mr. Stark, for the compliment." ”

Tony Stark paused and said with a serious expression, "The first question?" Let me think about what is the first problem that needs to be solved? Let's start with the simplest question, which is simple but in a sense extremely important. ”

"Jarvis, this kidnapping incident made me realize a problem, a very serious and very important problem, the arms industry is really too dangerous, and those Afghan bandits have given me a great impact."

"Jarvis, the weapon that I have always been proud of has not brought peace to this world, but has brought great war, an incomparably cruel and bloody war. The weapons I created for peace became the tools of those who conquered the world, and I'm sure this is not the first time this has happened, and there are many more of them in places where people can't be seen. ”

"At present, Stark Industries produces one-third of the world's total weapons, which means that every time there is a terrorist attack in the world, there is a one-third probability that the weapons they use are produced by Stark Industries."

"Jarvis, what do you think of my decision to halt Stark Industries' weapons production division? What do you think of this idea? ”

After listening to Tony Stark's words, Jarvis thought for a moment and replied, "Mr. Stark, I am your personal butler, and everything I think is for you. It's likely that your idea will wipe out more than half of Stark Industries' output out of thin air, and we'll lose all of our dealings with the military. ”

"This is not good for the future of our Stark Industries, Mr. Stark, you will lose your huge wealth, you will no longer be the richest man, you will not be as influential as you are now. After losing your wealth, you will lose those luxury car beauties of yours, and you will no longer be as happy and chic as you are today. ”

"Mr. Stark, I still hope that you can think about it carefully, once this decision is made, it will have a great impact on you."

Hearing this, Tony shook his head, sighed, and said, "Jarvis, in fact, I wasn't so happy before, and being with those women was just ordinary happiness, not as happy as everyone thought. ”

"Jarvis, I, Tony Stark, have never been such superficial people. Wealth, luxury cars, and beautiful women are all things outside the body, all dispensable things outside the body, and they have never been so important to me. ”

Hearing this, Jarvis quickly checked Tony Stark's database, and after a moment of silence, he retorted very unceremoniously: "Mr. Stark, I must refute what you just said, when you were exercising with those beautiful women, you were really happy, and after each time, your brain secreted a lot of dopamine, and those dopamines made your whole person refreshed, high-spirited, and extremely happy." ”

"These are all traceable, these are detailed data can be checked, last year you had a total of more than 100 women who went beyond friendship, and twelve of them were covered girls who received your compliments, especially a pair of blonde twin sisters, which made you full of praise."

"Admit it, Mr. Stark! You are such a superficial person! So, it's hard for me to imagine that those words came out of your mouth, and it shocked me. ”

When Tony Stark heard this, he spread out on the chair, frowned, and asked, "Jarvis, is my impression and reputation really that bad in the outside world?" Now you don't even believe what I say......"

Jarvis paused for a moment and said, "Mr. Stark, I still trust you a lot, but as an artificial intelligence, I trust those cold data more than I trust you personally. And most importantly, Mr. Stark, are you really ready? Are you ready for anything? ”

"You must know that once this matter is settled, it is very likely that you will lose Miss Potze's love. It's really not a very rational thing to do, it's really a very stupid thing to do. If you did, I think it would make headlines all over New York and the whole of America in a second. ”

"Mr. Stark, have you really thought about the possible consequences in the future?"

Hearing this, Tony Stark lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then slowly raised his head, took a deep breath, and said with a serious expression: "Jarvis, I have really thought about this matter, Stark Industries' weapons industry must be stopped, I want to close Stark Industries' weapons industry, and Stark Industries will never sell a weapon from now on." ”

"I don't know how many people have been hurt by the weapons produced by Stark over the years, which is far contrary to the original intention of Stark Industries, and the development of weapons is definitely not the future of Stark Industries, which I have not really understood until now."

"Jarvis, do you know how I feel when I see those terrorists with weapons made by Stark Industries in their hands? Jarvis, can you imagine how I feel? At that time, my worldview collapsed, and Stark Industries' weapons division did not bring real peace to the world, and it did not bring a happy life to the world. ”

Tony Stark paused, pointed to his head, and continued: "Jarvis, although I don't know how to make the world peaceful and how to make people happy now, I can do one thing, and that is to close the weapons department of Stark Industries and refuse to sell Stark Industries' weapons to the outside world. ”

"Jarvis, I was very aware of this decision, and I knew that even if Stark Industries didn't produce weapons, there would be other industries that would continue to produce weapons, and the war wouldn't stop, things like Afghanistan wouldn't stop. It didn't seem like what I was doing was working, it wasn't even working, but I managed to do it. ”

Tony Stark stretched out a finger and said with a very solemn gaze: "But I have done a little, from now on Stark Industries will not be stained with a little war, no more blood, no more innocent blood." ”

"Then my conscience will be a little at ease, and my soul will be at peace with a little relief."

After hearing this, Jarvis analyzed it carefully and replied: "Mr. Stark, although I don't understand your irrational behavior and stupid behavior, I will always support all your decisions, and I will always be on your side. ”

"And, Mr. Stark, the first question you raised can already be solved. No one in Stark Industries vetoed your proposal, and the most stubborn conservative, Mr. Obadiah, was sent to the police station by Mr. Jake, and the only thing we need to face is how to stabilize the possible fluctuations in the output value of Stark Industries, and how to make new arrangements for the future development of Stark Industries. ”

"These two points are the most important issues that we need to deal with right now, as long as we do these two things well, Mr. Stark can still enjoy luxury cars and beautiful women as before."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on the corner of Tony Stark's mouth, Jarvis has changed a little bit now, and the way he expresses himself is more like a human being, his language is sharp, and he always stares at his previous prodigal shortcomings for verbal targeting.

Tony Stark is not disgusted by Jarvis's performance, but likes it very much, this kind of communication is not like the master and the housekeeper, like the communication between friends, Tony is very satisfied with Jarvis's change.

In fact, Tony Stark himself is a person who is very short of friends, except for Zhou Ran and Rod, the rest of the people have not reached the point of friends, and now there is another Jarvis, which makes him very happy.

He sat up straight, tapped the Ark reactor on his chest with his hand, and said, "Jarvis, I've found the future of Stark Industries, and that's it." Jarvis, scan the Ark reactor on my chest, I need it for a upgrade. ”

"Now turn on all the computers in the main control room and do the calculations at the same time, I'm going to re-model the data and build a better Ark reactor, the Ark reactor has become one with my body, and I can't do without it now."

As Tony Stark's words fell.

A "ding" sounded.

All the computers in the lab lit up for a moment, and the model of the Ark reactor that Jarvis had scanned appeared on the computer screen.

Tony Stark slowly stood up, stretched out two fingers and rubbed his temples, and said: "Jarvis will split the model first, this is a basic ark reactor on my body, and it is not too difficult, and it has a very unstable problem, which is prone to short circuits." ”

After hearing this, Jarvis gave an analysis: "So, the first problem we solve is the problem of stability, Mr. Stark's model has been designed perfectly, if there is no new idea on the current model, there is no need to change it for the time being, I suggest choosing some stable materials first." ”

"For metal shells, I recommend using titanium alloys in aerospace, which are very stable metals that will not change in hot or cold environments."

After hearing this, Tony nodded, and said: "Well, that's right, titanium alloy is a very stable metal, the metal shell can be made of titanium alloy, and the element still uses palladium, which is still very stable in generating energy, and we can control it very well." ”

"But do you still use palladium rings? I always feel that the simple palladium metal ring is still a bit monotonous, you can set up a new type of composite structure, one large and one small, one outside and one inside two palladium metal rings? If you have a double-layer structure, you can't talk about a composite structure, and I always feel that it is still a bit monotonous. ”

"Oh, yes, why do you have to make palladium rings? I can take the energy operation mode of bearing rolling, design several tiny palladium metal balls, connect these palladium metal balls in series, increase the energy output, and this rolling method maintains the conservation of momentum, which is more stable than the operation mode of pure palladium metal ring consumption. ”

After hearing this, Jarvis modeled the plan that Tony Stark said, and said: "Mr. Stark, this method is stable, but it needs to be done in the details of consumption, once a certain palladium metal ball is consumed unevenly, it is energy that is not balanced, then it will cause an explosion." This powerful explosion will blow your body to ashes. ”

"You see, just like this, in the operation of the simulated new Ark reactor, there will be a phenomenon of energy spillage, and energy spillage is an unsolvable problem, and we can only evade and guide it to maintain internal balance. If in normal operation, this Ark reactor could operate for hundreds of years. ”

"But if we add a variable, on the way to normal operation, due to certain needs, such as firing a huge laser, this will increase his energy response. There is a more than 50% chance that there will be a problem like this, the palladium metal balls located in No. 1~9 consume 1/1000, and the palladium metal balls located in No. 0 consume 3/1000s. ”

Tony Stark looked at the simulated explosion on the computer screen, frowned, thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, and ordered: "Jarvis, you first build the model of the Ark reactor with palladium metal beads you just mentioned." ”

"Yes, Mr. Stark." Jarvis replied cheerfully.

Then the new Ark reactor that Tony Stark wanted appeared on the computer screen.

Tony Stark stretched out his hand and waved it at the model, removing the titanium outer shell, leaving only a tiny core that was spinning, and said, "This is the core of the Ark reactor, and it is also the way it operates, the way it generates energy." ”

"This is actually a core that is close to perfection, the kind of possibility that Jarvis you are talking about, the error of the actual explosion is actually only 2.5 thousandths, which is actually an error that can be omitted, but I will not allow this error to occur in me."

Tony Stark paused, stretched out his hands to enlarge the tiny core, and said, "Jarvis, what do you see now?" ”

"The palladium metal ball is stationary, but its whole is moving." Jarvis replied.

Tony Stark nodded and said, "That's right, staying relatively stationary in motion is what makes the error happen." So, the solution is very simple, we just need to make the palladium metal balls move, and let the palladium metal balls rotate at a constant speed like the earth. ”

"Just like that, with just one extra force, our Ark reactor is working perfectly."

With that, Tony Stark began to direct Jarvis to operate.

When he finished transforming the tiny core, Tony waved his hand casually and said very confidently, "Jarvis, let it move now!" Validate my thoughts! ”

"Yes, Mr. Stark." Jarvis said.

On the computer screen, the tiny core began to operate, each palladium metal ball rotated like the earth, the whole they connected to also began to rotate, the Ark reactor began to operate, and the energy began to be generated very steadily.

The second-generation Ark reactor designed by Tony Stark was a success.

"Mr. Stark, we succeeded, and this huge energy response is enough to sustain a super-large plant for three weeks, which is clean energy that doesn't produce a little bit of pollution. I can be sure that this is the future of Stark Industries. ”

Jarvis's words of blessing came out.

"It's not enough, we've not done enough, the future is still not enough, but it's enough to deal with the current situation." Tony Stark stretched, shook his head, and said.

The Ark reactor succeeded, but it didn't work either.

The current second-generation Ark reactor has not reached the level that Tony Stark wants to achieve, nor has it reached the level that Howard Stark wants to achieve.

Because palladium is not the best energy core for the Ark reactor, Tony Stark needs a new element, and that element is a gift from Howard Stark.

Now Tony still has prejudices against his father Howard in his heart, he always feels that he lives in the shadow of his father Howard, no one recognizes Tony Stark as the unique Tony Stark, everyone thinks that Tony Stark is the second generation of Howard Stark.

Tony Stark wanted to surpass his father all the time.
