Chapter 17 Everyone is Winning
"I mean, you can fly yourself, right?"
"What if your armor isn't fast enough and you end up flying past me?"
Tony finally remembered that Leon's own speed was 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 get out of the armor, Jarvis, and you control the armor."
"Wait, Jarvis is the one controlling it? You mean, this armor can be unmanned the entire time?" Tony hasn't researched that far yet.
"Hmm, how about it, my armor is strong, right?"
"It's a very... well, I mean, it's a good idea, but I thought of it before, but I didn't have enough time."
"…You're really awesome, Tony."
"Ahem, okay, Jarvis, are you ready? We're about 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 have long been ready."
Jarvis gave the order: "Ready, three, two, one, go!"
The two battle armors ignited their thrusters at the same time, took off at full power, soared into the sky, and their long tail flames streaked across the sky.
Leon looked at the clouds where the two disappeared and couldn't help but complain.
"Actually, if you ask me, both armors are pretty slow."
"As expected, armor has no other function for me except for sentimentality."
Then he twisted his collar with both hands, and the biological force field spread out, rushing into the sky like a reverse meteor.
…………
"Wow!" 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 mankind."
“Flying into 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 amazing!!”
Tony was extremely excited and felt that he was the victorious King of Machinery.
"Jarvis, has Leon's armor been left far behind by me now?" He felt that the answer was yes.
However, Jarvis is always so ruthless: "I'm sorry, Mr. Stark, I regret to tell you that you have been left behind by the mecha controlled by my subroutine."
"What?" Tony was stunned. "This is impossible!"
"I'm sorry, the fact is that the distance between you and Master Leon's armor is already 700 meters."
Tony looked up, but the sky was covered with layers of clouds and fog, making it difficult for him to see the scenery above.
"This must be a mistake. Speed up, Jarvis, speed up as much as you can!"
Mark 2 burst out with greater thrust, pushing away the sea of clouds and heading upstream.
However, after a few minutes, Tony still couldn't see Leon's armor, not even an exhaust.
"How the hell is it so fast?"
"Because Master Leon used a more coordinated motion system and reduced the weight of the armor, the acceleration and top speed have both increased." Jarvis reported.
"...Okay, I now admit that the boy is a genius, but I can't lose this competition. Jarvis, use excessive power."
"Sir, I have to remind you that if you continue upwards, the temperature may be too low and the armor may freeze."
"Listen to me and keep flying!"
A few minutes later, Tony vaguely saw the tail flame of Leon's armor.
"Okay, that's it, catch up with it and then overtake 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 speeding up!"
Tony is now full of passion and his competitive spirit has been fully aroused.
If it were in a hot-blooded comic, he would 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.
——In Marvel, only the more tragic a person is, the more he can ignore physics and counterattack.
As the altitude continued to rise, layers of frost began to cover the Mark II's hull, spreading and thickening rapidly.
The armor's acceleration began to decrease.
Jarvis didn't have time to remind him.
The next moment, Mark 2 suddenly stalled!
All current circuits inside the armor were frozen and the power was cut off instantly!
“Wait, what’s going on… Uh, ah, ahhh!!”
Tony's straight body lost balance and fell rapidly like a frog with its claws and fangs bared.
"Jarvis, Jarvis! Open your wings!"
Tony found that the armor was frozen and out of control, and wanted to call Jarvis.
But the current was short-circuited and the intelligent system had already stopped working.
The armor was falling faster and faster, and gravity was mercilessly exerting its power at this moment.
"No, no, Leon! Leon, save me!" Tony shouted in panic.
next second.
"No problem, Tony."
Leon instantly appeared in front of Mark 2, blocking it in the waist, and the falling trend stopped instantly.
This damn sense of security is so damn good.
Tony was still in shock: "Oh, my God, that was really thrilling, thank you Leon, although I know you must be watching me make a fool of myself down there."
"Don't say that. In fact, I wanted to see if you could remain calm and turn the situation around."
"You'd better think so..." Tony took a deep breath to calm himself down.
"Whoosh!" On the other side, Jarvis flew down in Lyon's armor.
"Sir, I'm so glad you're okay. It was really scary 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, "The gold you mentioned is used to solve the problem of ice formation at high altitudes?"
"Yes, adding gold material can allow the armor to continue to operate in extreme environments."
Tony fell completely silent.
……
Back in the underground garage, Tony took off his armor with the help of his smart arm.
"Leon, you...you won." He sat down a little frustrated.
"Yes, I won."
Leon smiled happily.
He walked over to Tony and sat down next to him. "But you actually win, Tony."
He explained to Tony's puzzled look: "You taught me how to build the Iron Man suit, so I can build it."
"It's like if you teach other mechanics this knowledge, can they really not learn it?"
"Of course they can learn it. Because everyone has different ideas, they can even create armor with more functions than yours."
“The most difficult thing in this world is never learning and extending, but creation—creation from scratch!”
"Tony, and you, are the one who created it."
"If it weren't for you, maybe in twenty years, no one would be able to build a small Ark reactor, and no one would be able to build an iron suit of armor."
"I defeated you this time only because I improved some things that you didn't have time to improve."
"Don't you think you can do these things, Tony?"
Tony immediately shook his head: "Of course not..."
"It's just... well, give me some time, I can do it."
"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."
"You just realized that I'm already like a little superman, how can I still be the same as before?"
"No, I mean, you've grown up."
"I'm sorry, I can't tell whether you are insulting me or praising me."
"Of course I'm praising you!"
"Well, Tony, I have to say that you have grown up after returning from Afghanistan this time. After all, you never knew how to..."
"Stop! Why are you cursing at me all of a sudden?"
"Look, what did I just say?"
"…You won, you won again, oh, this damn adolescent desire to win, you really should go to Columbia University instead of annoying me at home all day long."
"Look, look, Tony, you're anxious again."
"Get out! Get away from me!"
"Okay, I'll leave now." Leon picked up his armor and ran away.
"This kid..." Tony shook his head helplessly, thought about it, and suddenly laughed again, "It's really amazing."
