Chapter 17

"I mean, you can fly yourself, right?"

"What if your armor is not fast enough and you fly up and surpass me?"

Tony finally remembered that Leon's own speed is dozens of times that of the Iron Armor.

"Am I the type to cheat?"

"You can't cheat, but you knocked me out two days ago?"

"Okay, then I'll come out of the armor, Jarvis, you control the armor"

"Wait, Jarvis is in charge? You mean, your armor can be unmanned for the entire process?"Tony hasn't researched that yet.

"Hmm, how is it? My armor is strong, right?"

"It's a very... well, I mean, it's a good idea, but I've thought of this before, but I just didn't have enough time."

"……That's awesome of you, Tony."

"Ahem, okay, Jarvis, are you ready? We are going to start the competition. Tony changed the subject with a guilty conscience.

"Okay, Mr. Stark, I'll start the countdown in three seconds. Are you ready?"

"I'm ready."

Jarvis gave the order:"Ready, three, two, one, go!"

The two armors ignited their thrusters at the same time, took off at full power, soared into the sky, and the long tail flames crossed the sky.

Lyon looked at the clouds where the two disappeared, and couldn't help but complain.

"Actually, if you ask me, both armors are really slow."

"As expected, armor has no other function for me except for sentimentality.

Then he twisted his collar with both hands, and the bio-force field spread out, rushing into the sky like a reverse shooting star.

…………

""Oooooooh!" Tony continued to accelerate in the sky. He had never experienced flying so freely in the sky before.

"For millions of years, the sky has been held high above human heads."

"Flying to the sky and conquering the sky is a desire engraved in human genes"

"No wonder so many people throughout history have tried to fly, this feeling is really great!!"

Tony was very excited, and felt proud that he was the king of machines who would definitely win at this moment.

"Jarvis, has Leon's armor been left far behind by me now?"He felt that the answer was yes.

However, Jarvis was always so ruthless:"I'm sorry, Mr. Stark, I regret to tell you that you have been left far behind by the mecha controlled by my subroutine."

"What?" Tony was stunned."This is impossible!"

"Sorry, the fact is that you and Master Leon's armor are already 700 meters apart."

Tony looked up, but the sky was covered with layers of clouds and mist, so he couldn't see the scene above clearly.

"This must be a mistake. Speed up, Jarvis, speed up!"

Mark II burst out with greater propulsion, pushing away the sea of clouds and going up the opposite direction.

However, after a few minutes, Tony still couldn't see Leon's armor, not even the exhaust.

"Damn, how come it's so fast?"

"Because Master Lyon used a more coordinated motion system and reduced the weight of the armor, the acceleration and top speed have been improved."Jarvis reported

"……Okay, I now kind of admit that the guy is a genius, but I can't lose this contest, Jarvis, use the power beyond capacity"

"Sir, I have to remind you that if you continue to go up, the temperature may be too low and the armor may freeze."

"Listen to me and keep flying!"

A few minutes later, Tony could vaguely see the tail flame of Leon's armor.

"Okay, that’s it, catch up with it and then surpass it!"

"Sir, the outer layer of the armor has been frozen. Continuing to fly may cause damage to the components."

"Don't worry about it, keep accelerating!"

Tony is full of passion now, and his competitive spirit has been fully mobilized.

In a hot-blooded comic, he will definitely explode next, and then surpass Leon's armor and achieve a counterattack.

Unfortunately, the physical rules of the Marvel world will not give in to him for such a reason.

——Marvel: Only the most tragic people can ignore physics and counterattack.

As the height continues to climb, layers of frost begin to cover the shell of the Mark II, and quickly spread and thicken.

The acceleration of the armor begins to decrease.

Jarvis has no time to remind him.

The next moment, the Mark II suddenly shuts down!

All the current circuits inside the armor are frozen, and the power is cut off instantly!

"Wait, what's going on... Uh, ah, ah ah!!"

Tony's straight body lost balance and fell rapidly like a frog with its fangs and claws bared.

""JARVIS, JARVIS! Open your wings!"

Tony found that the armor was frozen and could not be controlled. He wanted to call JARVIS.

However, the current was short-circuited and the intelligent system had already stopped working.

The armor fell faster and faster. At this moment, gravity mercilessly exerted its power.

""No, no, Leon! Leon, save me!" Tony shouted in panic.

"No problem, Tony."

Leon instantly appeared in front of Mark II, holding it up, and the downward trend stopped instantly.

This damn sense of security is really damn good.

Tony was still in shock:"Oh, my God, it was really thrilling just now, thank you Leon, although I know you must be watching me make a fool of myself from below"

"Don't say that. I actually wanted to see if you could stay calm and turn the situation around."

"You'd better think so.……"Tony took a deep breath to calm down.

""Whoosh!" On the other side, Jarvis flew down in Lyon's armor.

"Sir, I'm glad you're okay. It was a close call just now." Jarvis expressed his concern in a mechanical voice.

Leon continued to carry Tony:"Okay, now the competition is over, let's go back."

Tony had no objection.

On the way back, he suddenly asked:"What is the gold you mentioned?���To solve the problem of high altitude icing?"

"That's right, adding gold material can keep the armor running in extreme environments."

Tony fell silent.

……

Back in the underground garage, Tony takes off his armor with the help of his smart arm.

"Leon, you...you won." He sat down a little frustrated.

"That's right, I won."

Leon smiled happily.

He walked to Tony and sat down:"But, actually you also won, Tony."

He explained to Tony's puzzled eyes:"It was you who taught me how to build the Iron Man armor, so I could make it"

"It's like if you teach other mechanics this knowledge, will they really not be able to learn it?"

"Of course they can learn it, and because everyone's thinking is different, they can even create armor with more functions than you."

"The most difficult thing in this world has never been learning and extension, but creation - creation from scratch!"

"Tony, you are the one who created it."

"Without you, maybe in 20 years, no one would be able to build a small Ark reactor, and no one would be able to build an iron armor."

"I won you this time, but I just improved some things that you didn't have time to improve."

"Tony, do you think you can't do these things?"

Tony immediately shook his head:"Of course not.……"

"Just... well, give me some time, I can do it too"

"Look," Leon patted Tony on the shoulder,"Tony, you just lack a little time, and I just used my super brain to save that time."

Tony's frustration just now slowly dissipated, and his eyes were a little complicated:"Leon, you are really... different now"

"Have you just realized that I'm already like a little superman, how can I still be the same as before?"

"No, I mean, you grow up."

"Sorry, I can't tell whether you are insulting me or praising me."

"Of course I am complimenting you!"

"Well, Tony, I have to say that you have grown up after returning from Afghanistan. After all, you never knew……"

"Why are you cursing me all of a sudden?"

"Look, what did I just say?"

"……You win, you win again, oh, this damn adolescent desire to win, you really should go to Columbia University instead of annoying me at home all day"

"Look, look, Tony, you are anxious again"

"Get out! Get out of here as far as you can!"

"All right, I'll leave now." Lyon picked up his armor and ran away.

"This kid……"Tony shook his head helplessly, thought about it, and suddenly laughed again,"It's amazing."
