Marvel, I tweet and I can draw a lottery

Chapter 27 Why don't you just replace the reactor in your chest with a sun?

"We're live streaming you from the opening ceremony of Stark Expo."

"Tony Stark just walked off the main stage. It's okay if you can't make it tonight because the expo is open year-round."

"I will also be here to visit various attractions, pavilions, and inventions from all over the world. Be sure to come with me."

The TV reporter spoke to the camera.

After Tony stepped down, he signed a kid's Iron Man mask replica, and signed several more as he made his way to the backstage door.

He was tired and staggering, and Happy held him, looked around to see if anyone had noticed Tony's fatigue, and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Great," Tony replied, even though it was obviously not true.

Already he had begun to notice a strange discoloration around the recess of the Ark's reactor on his chest.There were also some radiating curly lines, a sickly purple, but now all this was hidden by his clothes from being seen.

He was sure the palladium that fueled the reactor core was poisoning him.Now his blood toxicity is 19%, already falling within a certain range proposed by Jarvis.

This value clearly falls between health and death, with Tony too close to one side and too far away from the other.

Jarvis is trying to find a new energy source for the reactor, but it's clearly a race against time.

Before pushing open the backstage door, "Please be sure to come with me, it's a mess outside, be careful."

"Okay, let's go."

Happy pushed open the backstage door, and they were greeted by waves of shouts and flashes of light.

"Hey, nice to meet you." Tony immediately resumed his appearance in front of the camera.

"Okay, thank you, I remember you."

A blond beauty squeezed in and handed a note, "Call me!"

"Okay, let's go." The beauty was pulled away by the bodyguard.

"Can you?" A beautiful young woman pulled a cute little boy and handed over a photo of Iron Man.

"Of course, it's an honor." Tony signed his name with a smile on his face.Gently patted the little boy wearing the Iron Man toy helmet "OK, buddy, see you later."

Tony handled it well. He shrugged Happy and dispelled the other party's concerns, and then satisfied everyone's requests.

"Let's go, Tony, let's go." Harper led Tony out of the exhibition hall.

"Very well." Tony said casually.

"Yes, it's not too bad."

Happy used the remote to start Tony's car -- a gray Audi R8 Spyder with a drop top.

With the activation of Happy, the soft top is automatically folded and stowed.

"See what this is, new car?"

Happy replied, "Yes."

"Who is this? Did it come with the car?" Tony looked in surprise at the black-haired beauty who was waiting for him in the car.

"I hope so." Happy said helplessly, if not, it would be trouble.

Tony didn't have any scruples, his playboy temperament was perfect, and he said hi loudly without any stage fright.

"Hi!"

"Hi." The beauty also responded.

"Ah? You are?" Tony's movements did not stop.

"Mahir. (Bailiff)" The woman's eyes followed Tony's movements.

"Irish name? I like it," Tony replied casually.

"Nice to meet you, Tony." The beauty also said politely.

"Can I drive?" Tony asked Happy, who closed the door and walked around the front of the car to change places with Tony.

"Where are you from?" Tony asked around the back of the car.

"Bedford," answered the beauty.

"What are you doing here?" Tony asked, getting into the car.

"Looking for you."

"Oh, yes you found me." Tony put his hand on the steering wheel, "what's the matter later? Beauty?"

"Send a subpoena."

The rippling expression on Tony's face froze, "Huh?" Looking at the summons handed in front of him.

Happy raised his hand to accept the summons, "He doesn't like being handed things. I'll just take it."

"Yeah, my quirk," Tony explained.

"You must attend the hearing of the Senate Armed Services Committee at nine o'clock tomorrow morning." The beauty said seriously.

"Can you show me your ID?" Tony looked at the beauty.

"Do you want to see my ID?" the beauty stretched her hands to her waist.

"He likes documents." Happy eased the atmosphere.

The beauty took out the round emblem of the Military Commission. "Do you still like it now?"

"Yeah." Tony nodded, turned to look at Happy, "How far are we from Washington?"

"Washington? 250 miles."

It stands to reason that War Machine has already appeared ahead of schedule.Moreover, the assembled weapons are all advanced weapons using RT technology from Stark Industries.

The Military Commission should directly acquiesce in the existence of Iron Man.

In fact, however, this hearing is not just a military probe.It wasn't just Iron Man who was tempted.

This is a collision between capital and politics. Hammer Industries said that capital is actually on the political side.It does not have its own technology, it is just a military foundry, a megaphone.

No other military-industrial complex will testify at such a hearing.What they took away today was Tony Stark's Iron Man technology.

Is it my engine technology tomorrow? Is it your bulletproof vest formula the day after tomorrow? Is Osborn’s synthetic spider silk going to be handed in the day after tomorrow?
There is no need to change the reason! For the people!
Colonel Rhodes was no doubt involved in this collision, he was a military colonel and Air Force procurement liaison.He must have said something for Tony, leading to him being called a lieutenant colonel at the hearing.

Of course, the obvious reason is that when Tony was rescued, he took people there privately, and the military had already given up on that mission.This kind of behavior can be big or small, and it is easy to punish him with one crime.

Tony had no choice, he could flip the table on the spot but he had to show up, so the next day he showed up in Washington, D.C.

It wasn't Tony's first Senate hearing, but he had a hunch it would be the most unpleasant he'd ever attended.

Why?Because he had heard that the hearing was presided over by Senator Stern, he had never liked Tony, and now he hated him even more.

Early the next morning in Washington, D.C.

"Mr. Stark, can we continue the previous topic? Please pay attention, Mr. Stark!"

Senator Stern slapped the table on it.And Tony Stark turned to look at Pepper.

"Mr. Stark!"

"What's the matter, honey?" Tony turned around.

"Can you listen carefully?" Senator Stern gritted his teeth and kept smiling.

"Of course." Tony replied.

"Mr. Stark, under these agreements, you agree to provide the taxpayers of the United States," Stern said while rummaging through the files, "all weapons systems in use and under development. Now, do you hold some special weapons..."

"I didn't." Tony replied decisively.

"You didn't?" Senator Stern repeated incredulously, narrowing his eyes.

"It all depends on how you define the word 'weapons,'" Tony said.

"Iron Man weapons."

"My device does not fit this description."

Senator Stern sat up a little and asked, "So how would you describe it?"

"My description of it is the exact definition of it, Senator."

"What is it?" Stern tilted his head suspiciously.

"High-tech prosthetics." As soon as Tony's voice fell, the scene was full of laughter. "That's... that's what I think best describes it."

"It's a weapon, it's a weapon, Mr. Stark." Senator Stern felt he was being played.

"Come on, if your priority is really the happiness of American citizens..." Tony said.

This time Senator Stern interrupted: "My priority is to get the Iron Man weapons into the hands of the American people."

"Then don't think about it." Tony said seriously: "I am Iron Man, and I and my suit are one. Handing in the Iron Man suit is surrendering myself."

"It's equivalent to prostitution or prostitution. It depends on which state you are from. You don't want to get him." There was another uproar in the audience.

"Listen, I'm no expert..." Senator Stern wanted to try a new approach.

Tony interjected, "About prostitution? Of course you're not, you're a senator! Come on!"

Senator Stern suppressed his anger and tried to remain calm. "I am not a weapons expert. I would like to call our current arms general contractor, Justin Hammer, as an expert witness."

Justin Hammer strode down the aisle, sworn in as a witness, drawing attention.He runs Hammer Industries and is a "viable" competitor to Stark Industries.

Since Tony decided not to make weapons anymore, Hammer naturally began supplying weapons and equipment to the U.S. government.Why not Umbrella? Come on, Umbrella's main business is medical technology (the weapons department is only supplied to its own security company).

"Let the clerk take note," Tony said into the microphone, "I saw Mr. Hammer walk into the House, so I wonder when the real weapons experts will show up?"

A burst of laughter erupted from the audience, and Senator Stern stopped the burst of laughter by tapping with his gavel.

Hammer was annoyed, but he still looked calm, and said with a dry smile: "Maybe I'm not an expert. But you know who is,"

Although he spoke to everyone, he actually threw the question to Tony, "That is your father Howard Stark, the predecessor of all of us. He knew that technology is a sharp sword used to defend this great country, and Not a strong shield."

Hammer continued: "Anthony Stark has invented a weapon with infinite possibilities, yet he insists it is for defense! He wants us to believe that he can single-handedly keep us all at bay. Behind him! I love peace, but we live in a world full of great threats of death."

Tony rolled his eyes.Anthony?Come on, no one has called him Anthony since probably his first day in Kindergarten, and only because the other kids are going to Kindergarten.

"Thank you guys. God bless Iron Man, God bless America," Hammer said.

Scattered applause sounded from the presiding stage of the hearing, and the auditorium below was indeed silent.

This statement suddenly gave Tony an idea.He secretly took out the handheld computer from his pocket. It was a rectangular object made of optical fibers, it can be said that it was purely used to calculate energy, and its appearance looked like a transparent plastic sheet.

As Senator Stern continued to speak, he began to fiddle. "Thank you, Mr. Hammer. The committee has now subpoenaed Lieutenant Colonel James T. Rhodes for a hearing."

Tony looked towards the door and saw Rody walking in in a formal suit. He looked a little uncomfortable.

Tony met him in the aisle, and they shook hands.He was happy to see Roddy, even though he didn't look very happy to be there.

If Tony had to pick one man he could count on to do the right thing, it would be James Rhodes.

After Roddy took the oath, Stern said: "I have a report on Iron Man compiled by Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes in front of me. Lieutenant Colonel, please read the fourth paragraph of seven pages."

"Of course, Senator," Roddy said, "but first, I'd like to point out that I'm not going to provide the basics for this hearing, and I'm not going to testify—"

"But it's your duty," Stern didn't lift his eyes from his notes, "please continue."

Roddy could only swallow his anger and continued: "This out-of-context paragraph does not represent the final conclusion I have reached." But Stern remained silent, and Roddy had no choice but to read the specified words .

"Given that Iron Man does not serve in any government agency, he poses a potential threat to national security and interests," Roddy read, looking up at the Senator, "however, I will point out that the benefits he has done to the country are far greater. to its negative effects."

"No, stop, don't read any further."

Roddy didn't stop talking at all, and picked another sentence that was all positive.

Obviously, the military behind Rody did not give him a death order. After all, he is already a war machine, and the military has already done some research.I don't want any more trouble.So Roddy's attitude is even more protective of Iron Man than in the movie.

"Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes," Stern interrupted, "please read six more pages of the report."

"I think it's too early to show that to the public," Roddy said.

"Lieutenant Colonel, please explain it to us, we will be very grateful." Stern insisted.

Roddy glanced at the designated page, then gestured to a bank of monitors, which lit up to reveal blurry satellite images.

"...well, if you insist. Intelligence suggests that the devices shown in these photos are actually designed to replicate Mr. Pens are identified on each display. "But these experiments are clearly still..."

"Aha," thought Tony.He had already guessed that Stern would do this, and now he had a chance to turn things around.

Tony stood up, touched an icon on the handheld computer, and said, "Let's see what's going on there," he controlled the display with the handheld computer, "if... please allow... I..." He Upload a series of classified videos to the screen and start playing.

On the upper left screen is a North Korean test site where a test flight of an exoskeleton armor is taking place.

A device somewhat similar to Tony's blaster ignites, sending the armor and driver into the air.

"Wow, looks like I have control of your screens," Tony said with a smile.

"Also, you're right," he continued, "North Korea's research is going well..." Suddenly a bright light flashed, the screen went blank, and the armor and operator disappeared from the camera.

When the picture resumed again, the firefighters were washing the smoking part of the armor with water. "No," Tony said, "Yo! I'm relieved now."

The same results are played on other monitors as well. "Let's see how Russia is doing... oh my god," Tony said, going on, "and Japan... oh I guess it's doing badly. India? Not either. Germany has a very good Engineer. Ouch, this will leave a scar."

He then paused all but one of the looping videos.He zooms in on the image until it takes up the entire screen.

"Wait," Tony said, "America is involved. Look, isn't this Justin Hammer?" He looked back at the camera crew filming the hearing and added, "You might want to give Han Take a close-up."

Tony and Roddy looked at each other and smiled.Rody quickly raised his hand to his chin to cover it up, but he couldn't restrain himself when he thought of his awesome war machine and the ugly imitations on the screen.

In the final clip, Hammer watches as a crew member straps another person to the armored exoskeleton.This armored exoskeleton is a poor imitation of Iron Man's suit.

On the monitor, Hammer winked at the camera.After the suit sample took off, it began to circle and circle in the air, but the propellers suddenly went out, and the suit fell to the ground, and several pieces of armor on it were knocked off.

Then the suit staggered to its feet again, kicking up a big cloud of sand.The experimenter's mecha suddenly rotated 360 degrees from the waist.

Hammer can be heard yelling for the cameramen to stop filming.

Hammer finally managed to unplug the screen in the Senator's room.

"Yeah, I think most countries will probably take ten years to catch up to me," Tony said, "and Hammer Industries, maybe 20 years."

The expression on Hanmer's face was like drinking a big gulp of spoiled milk. "I would like to point out," he explained, "that the test driver survived with a minor spinal contusion. He is now rafting with his family."

Tony turned his face to the camera. "The good news," Tony said, "is that I'm your nuclear equivalent, and it works, and we're safe. You don't have to thank me, but you mustn't take my property. I've managed to keep the world on my own. The mission of peace, what more do you want?"

"I also want to cooperate with these clowns!" Tony has won a big victory now, and it's time to enjoy the fruits of victory by chasing after victory.

"Facker, Mr. Stark!" Stern yelled, pounding his gavel.

But Tony ignored him.He stepped down from the podium and quickly made a peace gesture and blew a blessing kiss.The camera really loves him like this.

"I am a man of the people. I will serve this country willingly for my own sake, and one thing I have proven is that I am the most self-sufficient person."

In front of the TV, "It's really stupid." Ivan Vanko thought to himself.He was working while watching Tony Stark on TV.

In order to create an effective miniature ark reactor, Ivan needs to perform delicate welding work.

His old aviator glasses didn't keep his eyes from getting red and sore, and his neck hurt badly.

Before his success, there had only been two Ark reactors in the world, and now there was a third, small but flawless, glowing faintly on his workbench.

His dad would love this stuff for sure.Ivan wanted to share the joy of this moment with others, so he reached out to Irina's perch and waited for her to climb up his knuckles.

"Irina, do you think this is beautiful?"

Irina responded by calling her own name.

Ivan Vanko built the Ark reactor, he is the second person in the world to do it.

And Stark was the first, which will forever make him uneasy. Howard Stark concealed Anton Fanko's pioneering work and took credit for continuing to develop it in the future.

Ivan can only take solace when Tony Stark is destroyed!
Irina let out a croak.The sun had risen and it was beginning to snow outside.Ivan started to assemble the next step of his plan.

He could have chosen one of a thousand different ways to destroy Stark, but chose the whip instead.

His creation is five feet long and made of tungsten carbide hinges shaped like vertebrae.He personally fashioned each of the vertebrae for the whip, connected them to a braided cable, made a six-inch handle, insulated it, and connected it to a power source.

Ivan wound copper wires around tungsten carbide vertebrae, weaving them along the wires and passing through small holes in them, like spinal nerves.

When the weapon is activated, Ivan will have a whip that is white hot enough to melt metal.Not even Stark's armor would last long against it.

Nothing can stand against its might! Ivan wraps the whip with wires, puts on a set of leather-wrapped tungsten harnesses, and places the miniature Ark reactor in a slot above his breastbone, modeled after Iron Man's breastplate.

He ran the cable from the shimmering repulsion transmitter on his chest down his arm, to the handle of the whip, and secured the cable to his shoulders, biceps, and forearms.

After Ivan put on the gloves, he connected the cable to the shock wave converter; even with the insulation, he couldn't hold the whip with his bare hands.The glove fit his forearm perfectly, protecting him from the whip.

When he connected the power cable to the whip, the whip seemed to come to life, humming, and the slight tremors were transmitted straight to Ivan's bones.

He flicked it a few times, allowing the whip to fully extend, and the plasma arc was thrown out from the end of the whip, and everything it touched was burned with a trace.

Irina yelled loudly, flapped her wings, and flew nimbly to the other side of the perch.

Now he needs to test it.Tony Stark on TV became his perfect target.

Ivan flicked the whip away from his body, then swung it down, drawing an arc in the air.When the whip fell on the TV, it was like a bolt of lightning with thunder.

There was a bang in his ear, and a flash of light made him cry.He blinked, saw his result, and smiled subconsciously.

The TV was split in two, the old screen and picture tube exploded into shiny shards.

And Ivan felt nothing when he swung it, not only did he have no resistance, he didn't even have a sense of impact.He laughed even more, and he swung his whip, swinging them in a little circle, like a lasso.

Ivan enjoyed the flash of the whip as he swung it, then pressed the button on the inside of his wrist to turn it off.

Tony returns to the hive.

"This is our hive, like Batman has his Batcave." John was sliding around on his office chair.

"Don't act childishly like a child." Tony sat firmly on his chair, steady like an adult.

But the next second.

"Wuhu! I must be the champion of this laboratory office chair sliding competition!" Tony slid the chair hard, leaving John far behind.

"Damn it!" John's chair suddenly emitted a blue energy light, and an accelerated speed passed Tony.

"It was you who cheated first!" Tony's chair actually put away the wheels, and the repulsion stabilizer popped out and flew straight up!
Unconvinced, John handed the trophy of the laboratory office chair sliding competition to Tony.

Tony delivered his acceptance speech to an audience that didn't exist.

"What are you doing?" Jessica suddenly appeared behind the two. "Can you be normal every day?"

"It's okay to say that we..." Tony muttered.

"The last time you didn't hold the armrest of the office chair and fly up with superpowers, I would never modify my beloved speedy office chair!" John said directly.

John was pulled out by Jessica pinching his ears. "Sorry, Tony, we have a personal matter."

Tony gave John a sympathetic look.Skillfully slid to the front of the operating table.

"Wake up, Dad is home."

Jarvis activated the surrounding virtual screens. "Welcome back, sir."

"Congratulations on your successful opening ceremony. So was the Senate hearing. And let me say it was refreshing. Finally got to see a video of you in your clothes, sir," Jarvis said.

"Oh," Tony laughed happily.

"Pop, pop, pop." Dumb successfully touched the juicer used to make chlorophyll juice.

"I swear, I'm going to tear you apart, soak your motherboard! And turn you into a wine rack!"

Dumb lowered his robotic arm with a good attitude of admitting his mistakes.

"This disgusting stuff, how many ounces do I have to drink a day?" Tony said a little sadly.

"In order to suppress symptoms, the daily intake has reached 80 ounces." Jarvis replied.

"Detect the content of palladium." Tony took out the small device again, and pressed his thumb on the round button.

"The blood toxin level is 24%." Jarvis read out. "Seeing that continued use of the Iron Man suit has aggravated your condition."

"Another energy core has been exhausted."

Tony took out the reactor in his chest, and pulled out the mottled palladium element plate inside.

"Oh my god, it's so fast."

"I have done simulation calculations for all known elements. But none of them can be used as a usable replacement for the target nucleus."

Tony silently removed a new target metal plate from a box and inserted it into the reactor.Wait for it to automatically push the metal plate into place, putting the reactor back on the chest.

"Perhaps you should choose Mr. Wilshere's proposal," said Jarvis.

John Wiersher had previously drawn the core technology from StarCraft Protoss, artificial stars.

The power source of the ark ship that the Protoss dominates the universe.

"I thought it was crazy enough that I put a nuclear reactor in my heart, and that guy John wants me to have a sun in my chest?" Tony laughed. "I'll think about it. Thanks Jarvis."
