Chapter 723: So many ‘just’ things put together, a hammer falls from the sky

Edwards Air Force Base.

Rhodes carefully removed the Ark reactor from the chest of Mark 2. The major on the side looked at the white luminous object in his hand curiously, "Is this their energy source?"

"Major, this is not a science experiment. Just concentrate on loading the weapon, okay?"

"Yes, sir."

"Okay, great, great, today is my birthday?" A cheerful voice came from not far away. Hammer walked over with a lollipop in his mouth. Behind him were two people pushing boxes. soldiers.

Hammer walked up to Mark II, his face full of joy and exclamation, "No! What did you do? Is this what I thought?"

"Yes." Rhode crossed his arms, "Hammer, I want to know what you can do for us."

"What do I want to do for you? I want to upgrade the software for you first, and then I think I should..."

"That's not what I'm talking about." Rhode interrupted, "I'm talking about firepower."

"Then you've found the right person." Hammer chewed the lollipop in one gulp, and then asked the soldier to open the box full of weapons.

"A nine-millimeter semi-automatic pistol." Hammer picked up the pistol and showed it, but neither Rhodes nor the major beside him took it seriously.

At this stage of their career as soldiers, they dare not say that they have seen all the weapons, but they still recognize 80% of the weapons, and they happened to have seen this pistol.

"A bit rustic, I agree." Hammer put the pistol on the table, and then picked up a shotgun, "M24 shotgun, manually loaded, five rounds per magazine."

He saw the disdain on the faces of Rhodes and the two men, and knew that they might look down on this weapon, so he said to himself: "You are not a hunter, what am I talking about, I will throw it away."

Then he picked up a submachine gun and said, "This is an FN2000 submachine gun made in Belgium. Belgians don't only know how to make waffles."

Hammer pulled the bolt of the gun, and the mechanical sound of "click" sounded, "It's wonderful, but you don't seem to be excited enough, so I put it next to it."

"This is a 40mm caliber grenade gun that can fire tear gas and smoke bombs." Hammer said, seeing the impatience on the two people's faces, and said in a half-joking tone, "It is specially used to deal with hippies."

"Your requirements are very high! Let me tell you, size is very important. Don't believe others who say it is not important."

Hammer put down the grenade gun, turned around and took out the largest weapon from the weapon box, "This is the M134 machine gun, with 6 barrels. It is so powerful that our people nickname it the Italian soup or the magic dragon."

Rhodes and the Major just nodded slightly and made no statement at all.

"Okay!" A trace of embarrassment flashed across Hammer's face, he put down the machine gun, turned around and picked up a small box, "These are top-quality Cuban cigars, Cohibas and Monte Cristos."

He opened the box and took out a missile the size of his thumb, "Sidewinder missile, containing cyclotrimethylene trinitramine, which is enough to blow up a bunker and the bunkers hidden underneath."

If it is smarter, it will write its own book, which will definitely be more difficult than the novel "Ulysses", and it will also read it to you by itself. "

This time, the two officers in front of him finally showed some emotion. The weapon that Hammer took out in front of him was not bad, but it was too lacking in novelty.

It’s not like they didn’t know each other, and he introduced them complacently for so long.

But they had never seen this Sidewinder missile before, especially when it looked so powerful.

"This is my Eiffel Tower, my Rachmaninov's Third Symphony, my classic." Hammer modestly praised the weapon in his hand, "It's elegant in shape and incredibly beautiful. It can be Any buildings were razed to the ground.

I named it ‘Ex-Wife’ and it’s my best weapon. "

Rhodes touched his chin and fell into deep thought, while the major on the side looked at him in confusion.

If you are still not satisfied with this, you can only say that your commander's vision is too high.

"Do you want it or not? Give me a hint.

You are like the Sphinx, and I cannot solve your mystery. "

"I want it," Rhodes said.

"which one?"

"all."

...

laboratory.

Tony, who was watching the image left by Howard Stark, suddenly received a call from Rhodes.

"Man, I'm busy making new elements!"

"I know, and I don't want to disturb you, but something really happened."

“Didn’t those disgusting politicians stop speaking?

I have to say that the efficiency of the military is really high enough. Less than a day after the Mark 2 was sent out, they all shut up.

However, I still feel a little unhappy. Could you please discuss with your general and ask the congressman who took the lead in asking me to hand over Iron Man at the hearing to award me an award?

Tony Stark deserves an honor such as contributing to world peace. "

puff!

Rhodes on the other side of the phone couldn't help but laugh, "It depends on your performance. To be honest, I think he was very unhappy.

Okay, let's get down to business, I have some bad news for you. "

“Oh my god! Man, it’s only been a day!

Even if your military doesn't thank me, you can't look so ugly! "

"No, this has little to do with the military, but it has something to do with Iron Man.

The General asked me to stand up for Justin Hammer in the suit at the Stark Expo. "

Tony immediately sat up straight, "What?"

"I know this is hard to accept."

"It's not unacceptable to have my Mark II cheerleading for a clown."

"This is an order, Tony, and I can't refuse."

"Okay!" Tony took a deep breath, "What kind of junk technology is Hammer going to display at the booth? You should know this, right?"

"Iron Soldier." Rhodes said helplessly.

Tony was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Don't be ridiculous, don't I know the level of Hammer Industries' steel soldiers?

It's God's blessing that the armor developed by his company didn't kill the pilot. Where did he get the courage to put a bunch of useless decorations on stage? "

"What do you think?"

Tony:......

"Shit! It turns out you were not a cheerleader in the past, but a bunch of fakes covering Hammer Industries."

"You can say that,"

Tony rolled his eyes, "It's not that I'm a bad person, but I know better than you how unreliable Hammer is. The military will definitely lose money if they trade with him."

"I have no control over this." Rhodes sighed, "I'm calling you just to make you mentally prepared in advance so that you don't get so angry that you drive your armor over and scold me on the spot while watching TV."

"Am I that boring?"

"You do." Rhodes said very confidently, "This is considering that there are too many ordinary people in the expo, otherwise you would probably beat me up."

"Haha, when you finish being a cheerleader and come to my place, I promise I won't beat you to death."

Gulu!

Rhodes swallowed, "Let's not talk about this anymore. How are you finding new elements?"

"It went very smoothly, and it will be done tomorrow at the latest.

However, testing will take more time. "

"Good luck."

Tony hung up the phone just in time for Howard Stark to say his last words, "My greatest creation will always be you."

"call!"

Tony took a deep breath and stood up from the sofa, "It's time to work."

He walked to the center of the laboratory and checked the ring pipe built by Colson and others, "It's not bad."

"You'd better check it out," Coulson said. "We're not professionals after all."

"This pipeline is only used to transmit energy. The technical content is not that high, as long as it is stable enough."

"Who were you talking to on the phone just now?"

"Rod, he's going to drive the Mark II I gave him and cheerleader for the Iron Soldier invented by Justin Hammer at the Stark Industries Expo."

"Hammer?" Aaron raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is that the one in Monaco?"

"Who else could it be but him?"

"Beautiful!" Aaron clapped his hands, "It appeared in Monaco and invented the Iron Soldier."

"Pure decoration." Tony smiled contemptuously, "I'm pretty sure it will take at least twenty years for Hammer Industries to develop steel armor."

“Lt. Col. Lord is, in a sense, the face of the military.

Why did the military support Hammer? It can't be for a pile of junk, right? Aaron looked at Tony meaningfully, "Unless Hammer has the possibility of success, or at least makes some kind of promise."

So the question is, where does a military industrial enterprise that takes twenty years to overcome technical difficulties come from such confidence? "

"Vanke." Tony's expression changed slightly, "You mean Ivan Vanke was rescued by Hammer?"

"I didn't say that, but he happened to be in Monaco at the time, happened to see Ivan Vanko assassinating you, happened to see the Ark reactor on his chest, happened to be an arms dealer, happened to be developing steel armor, and happened to recently He has an ambiguous relationship with the military.

So many "just right" things put together... Haha! "

"This joke is really not funny at all." Tony's face was gloomy, "I have to call Rod and tell him to be more careful."

"I'll do it!" Coulson took out his cell phone, "You can prepare the new elements with peace of mind. I'll call the director and report the situation."

With that, Coulson left the laboratory.

"You'd better not have too much hope." Aaron said calmly, "If Hammer really reaches a cooperation with Vanke, it's probably too late for the military to be happy, or they don't care who Hammer cooperates with.

If it succeeds, they can get a group of steel soldiers. If it fails, Justin Hammer will take the blame. The military can pretend to know nothing.

Justin Hammer is not a smart man. If he cooperates with Vanke, he will probably have to count the money for him if he is sold.

Get ready! Vanke's revenge against Stark should be not far away, you'd better get the new elements out before then. "

"I know." Tony patted the pipe, and then fixed a palm-sized equilateral triangle that carried the energy of the Ark reactor to the bracket.

"Let's get started, Jarvis." Tony put on his goggles and "activated the prism accelerator."

Blue light loomed in the pipe, and soon formed a blue beam.

"Close to the highest energy," Jarvis said.

The entire pipe began to shake violently, and a blue energy beam shot through the prism and onto the wall.

The powerful energy sliced ​​open the wall, and red flames burned blazingly wherever it passed.

Tony carefully controlled the movement of the beam through a turntable, and slowly illuminated it on the equilateral triangle.

This new Ark reactor was getting brighter and brighter, and when it was about to overload, Tony immediately terminated the energy transfer.

"Did it work?" Aaron asked.

Tony took off his goggles, stepped forward and used tweezers to pick out the energy composed of new elements, "Perfect."

"Congratulations, you created a new element." Jarvis said.

Tony loaded the new element into the small reactor, and soon a blue light began to bloom.

"The reactor accepts the updated core and I will begin testing it."

Stark's face was filled with joy, while Aaron silently opened the task panel.

[Help Tony Stark find new elements]

[Complete the mission and you will be rewarded with 1,000 magic points; there will be no penalty for mission failure; Completed]

"receive."

"Congratulations to the host for completing the mission and gaining one thousand magic points."

Hearing the sound of the system, Aaron was also in a rare happy mood.

He trembles every day, walking on thin ice in his own three-acre land, and can only get a few magic points by signing in. He has not seen such a large amount of income for a long time.

It's not that he didn't know this before he could trigger system tasks by getting in touch with more plot characters, but in order to live a low-key life, he would avoid it if he could.

If Tony hadn't taken the initiative to come to the door, he might not have taken care of this matter.

But now that the mission has been completed, it's time to retire.

And if nothing else happens, Ivan Vanko’s revengeful anger will soon fall on Tony Stark. Who knows if he will be implicated if he stays here.

How to explain it if they are forced to take action again? You can't say to them: Sorry, I am a wizard!

Just as Aaron's thoughts were racing, Coulson opened the door and walked in.

"Did the phone call end?" Tony asked.

"After the fight, the director said he would notify Rhodes. As for the military... I'm afraid they can't persuade him."

Tony curled his lips, "Those generals never shed tears until they see the coffin. They regret it only after suffering a loss."

"Did you succeed?" Colson looked at the Ark reactor emitting blue light in surprise, "Is this a new element?"

"Of course, I'm Tony Stark.

However, in order to avoid rejection, it still needs to be tested. "

"Congratulations, at least the problem of palladium poisoning has been solved." Colson smiled, "That's good, I just want to say goodbye."

"I've been transferred and I'm going to New Mexico."

"A charming place."

"That's what everyone says."

"Is it a secret mission?"

"Absolutely." Colson nodded, then looked at Aaron, "You have to go according to the director's order."

"What?" Aaron's mouth twitched, "Are you kidding? I'm just a consultant and don't go out in the field."

"But you have to cooperate with SHIELD when necessary." Coulson said meaningfully, "Do you still remember the divination you gave me?

That hammer fell from the sky, right here in New Mexico. "
