Chapter 133 Pepper is captured

Li Heng saw the shock on Tony's face, and then explained: "To be precise, Xiao Zhuge can't actually be called artificial intelligence."

"Oh?" Hearing Li Heng say this, Tony wanted to hear what Li Heng had to say.

"Little Zhuge can actually be said to be an alien life form. He is different from what he looks like. He should be considered a silicon-based life form." Li Heng explained to Tony, "So Little Zhuge's body is as big as you see it, there is nothing else."

"So, that's all he has?" Tony asked, pointing at Little Zhuge.

"Yes. And compared to computers on Earth, Xiao Zhuge's ability is more than one level higher, so he can help me solve various problems."

"Wow!" Tony was really jealous after hearing what Li Heng said, and he couldn't move his eyes away from looking at Xiao Zhuge.

"So can I get him to help me out a little?" Tony asked again.

"What help? You can ask him yourself." Li Heng said.

Then Tony came to Xiao Zhuge's side and asked carefully: "Xiao Zhuge, can you do me a favor? I want you to help my artificial intelligence to go further. I wonder if you can do it?"

Hearing Tony say this, Xiao Zhuge looked up at Li Heng, and after seeing Li Heng nod, he replied to Tony: "Okay, I can try it."

Tony smiled happily after receiving a positive answer.

He has deep feelings for Jarvis, so he has been trying to find ways to upgrade Jarvis. Now with the help of Xiao Zhuge, Tony believes that Jarvis will become better.

After saying these things, Tony prepared to set off with Li Heng.

Pepper and Maya were sitting together chatting, and Maya mentioned someone:

"Before he built rockets, Werner von Braun was an idealist who dreamed of space travel and loved looking up at the stars."

Maya explained to Pepper, and then talked about herself, "We were all very naive at the beginning, pure science, and then our arrogance started to play tricks on us, and we became obsessed. When we look back, we have already gone a long way."

Hearing Maya start to blame herself, Pepper could only comfort her and said, "Don't be too hard on yourself, Maya. You just handed your research over to a think tank..."

Maya interrupted Pepper, "Yes, but Killian formed that think tank with the help of military contracts."

"We've done this before, so don't beat yourself up," Pepper said.

"Thank you, Pepper, I really appreciate it." Maya thanked Pepper sincerely.

Then Pepper took a look at Maya's expression and said, "Okay, don't think too much. Let's go out for dinner. I've booked a delicious restaurant."

Then Pepper took Maya out to eat.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Pepper asked for a private room because she was afraid of being discovered by the Mandarin's men, and waited for the food to be served with Maya.

Just as the two were talking, there was a knock on the door. Pepper went over to open the door and saw the waiter coming in pushing a cart with food.

Pepper took two steps inside, ready to make room for the waiter and let him in, but the next moment, a figure appeared behind the waiter and walked straight forward to break the waiter's neck.

After seeing clearly that the person coming was Killian, Pepper shouted loudly: "Maya, run!" and she turned around and wanted to escape, but unfortunately, Killian stepped forward and grabbed Pepper's arm, pulled her back, and pinched her neck and pressed her against the wall.

"Hello, Pepper!"

Then Killian ignored Pepper's struggle, turned to Maya and asked, "So can you tell me why you were here at Tony Stark last night?"

"I just wanted to make amends. I didn't know you and the Master were planning to blow up his house," Maya said.

After hearing Maya's explanation, Killian said, "Oh, I see, so you want to save Stark? Even though he threatened us."

Maya knew Killian's character. If she didn't explain it clearly this time, she and Pepper might encounter an accident. So Maya continued, "I told you, Killian, we can use him."

At this time, Pepper grabbed Killian's face directly, but unfortunately, Pepper had no strength left, so no harm was caused.

Maya continued, "If we want to launch new products next year, I need Stark. He just lacked the right motivation, but now he has it."

Hearing Maya's words, Killian looked at Maya, then turned to look at Pepper and smiled.

Rhodes received some information about the possible locations where the Mandarin might appear, so Rhodes rushed over wearing his battle suit.

Faced with the factory with its doors tightly closed, Rhodes chose to break in directly.

But after entering, they found through scanning that there were no weapons at all, and all they saw were women making sportswear.

Seeing this, Rhodes relaxed his guard, put his weapon back into his suit, and asked everyone to leave.

Until the last person came to Rhodes and wanted to shake hands with him to express his gratitude. Rhodes naturally would not refuse her, so he stretched out his right hand to shake her hand.

As a result, when shaking hands, the man raised the temperature of his hands and almost melted the right hand of Rhodes' battle suit. Rhodes was also injured, and the battle suit lost its ability to move and fell to the ground.

Only then did Rhodes realize that the person in front of him was actually the Mandarin's subordinate. He looked at the woman and raised her hand to report: "Iron Patriot has been obtained."

"Your target is my battle suit. However, if you want my battle suit, you have to kill me first and pry me out of it." Looking at the woman, Rhodes said that he would not give up easily.

After hearing what Rhodes said, the man said, "Colonel, this is exactly our plan."

Then she waited for her companions to arrive, and they worked together to transport Rhodes and his battle suit to another place.

Rhodes wanted to stop it, but the current situation was that he could only watch and could not take any action at all.

On Li Heng's side, with the help of Xiao Zhuge and Jarvis, he quickly located the location where the Mandarin hijacked the TV signal, which was in Miami, Florida.

So Li Heng brought Tony directly to Miami, Florida. According to the location, they found the base located in a manor, which was the location of Mandarin. Li Heng brought Tony directly to the vicinity and checked the surrounding situation.
