When Salomon received a call from Stark and received the first batch of force feedback power armor, he had already entered a state of study at Oxford University, which was the so-called staying up late to write a thesis. But he also attended afternoon tea parties and various seminars, and with the knowledge he learned from Athena and Kama Taj's library, he was even able to communicate across disciplines.
Lara Croft came to Oxford to see him once, to say goodbye to Salomon. Her father's friend, Conrad Ross, the captain of the Endurance, is about to set off, and Laura will follow the captain to an outlying island near Japan to search for treasures lost there.
She also jokingly said that when she came back, she would show Salomon if there were any magic items in those treasures.
Salomon naturally agreed and gave Laura a short knife. "You will need it." He said sincerely, his voice was soft and sweet, making people want to kiss him. "Archaeological excavation is an extremely difficult job. May the courage favor you, Laura."
Since parting with T'Challa that day in the Immortal City, he has not been to the Immortal City to check on the working conditions of the Wakandans. He is not worried at all about the consequences of offending the Wakanda people now, because the heart-shaped grass of the Wakandan royal family has been monopolized by Bastet. If he takes the heart-shaped grass without Bast's power, the only result is death. .
The Wakanda royal family is actually Bastet's spokesperson, and the survival of the royal family is in Bastet's hands.
In view of Bastet's attitude, Salomon also determined that he and the Egyptian Nine Pillars were not of the same mind, otherwise he would not have guided the King of Wakanda to find Salomon. This is not surprising, the relationship between Athena and the Olympus gods is like this. Athena hates her god-king father, and Merlin does not obey the instructions of the Danu God Clan, let alone Bastet, who is the most important person in the whole world. A god with a low status in the pantheon.
The reason why these observers from various pantheon support Salomon is because they are unwilling to let the earth return to the age of gods for various reasons. It is no secret among certain groups that the Sorcerer Supreme wants to retire, and Salomon taking on the Sorcerer's burden is the only way for them to achieve this goal.
It's just that Athena found Salomon first and awarded him the shield and Pegasus, making him in a sense the champion of the goddess of wisdom.
When Salomon arrived at the Stark Group Building with the unfinished paper, Tony Stark, who had been waiting here for a long time, jumped up impatiently. He had called Salomon several times before trying to meet, but the mystic always refused because he was busy with academics. Now that the force feedback female armor has been completed, Stark knows that Salomon will definitely come today, and his questions will be answered today.
"You have to tell me, where did you find this thing?" Stark held a piece of vibranium ore between his fingertips, the piece Salomon left behind. "My father almost bought up the world. With all the vibranium on the market, is there any way you can buy it?"
Salomon is very self-aware, and he knows that his ideals are not understandable to most people, especially idealists like Stark and Steve Rogers who have received Western education. Stark only knew the tip of the iceberg of his plan. If he really knew Salomon's full plan, he would definitely object.
Not to mention Steve Rogers, who would 100% disagree.
Due to technological constraints and Stark, Salomon did not dare to tell Stark his true purpose. Fortunately, Wakanda's timely appearance gave Salomon more options. But in any case, the technology is still in the hands of others. Salomon needs artificial intelligence even more now. The new server matrix he installed for that machine is for this purpose, including using artificial intelligence to mine minerals on Mars and cast weapons and armor. , and is one of Salomon’s backup players.
When necessary, the artificial intelligence that mutually benefits from him will take over the foundry base and completely exclude the Wakandans from subsequent plans. Learning the technologies of Wakanda and Stark and then using them for his own purposes, ensuring that he has sufficient technological reserves when his allies turn against him, is what Salomon really wants. He doesn't quite believe that Stark and Wakanda's support for him will last forever, so he will be ready to abandon his allies and even kill him.
Of course, on the surface, he is still amiable and has an attitude of being willing to discuss everything to gain support.
This is why Odin would praise Salomon for becoming a qualified king. The actions of Salomon and Odin were so similar in some aspects that Odin wished he could marry his daughter to Salomon so that his daughter, who had an extremely strong personality, could restrain Salomon.
Salomon didn't reveal where he got the vibranium, which made Stark a little anxious.
"Hey! Are you colluding with arms dealers? Do you know Ulysses Crow?" Stark's tone became a little urgent, "You shouldn't know that person, his family has been here for generations I run a vibranium business, and I have some relationship with that guy, but I have to admit that that guy is a heartless scumbag. If you want vibranium, I can buy it for you, but don’t touch that guy. ”
"It's not what you think. I don't know that person." Salomon shook his head. The reason why Stark didn't want him to come into contact with Ulysses Crow was simple. Although the United States stipulates that an adult is an adult at the age of eighteen, a real adult is only at the age of twenty-one. Salomon is now twenty-one years old. There was also a time when Stark naturally didn't want him to be exposed to the worst of the world.
"And we've known each other for so long, you can't treat me like a child, Stark." Although this concern was indeed heartwarming, Salomon still issued a somewhat humorous warning to Stark, " I am the heir of Kamal Taj, and even if I am still wearing diapers, you have to treat me as an adult with the ability to act independently."
"Okay, sorry." Stark also realized his mistake. The person standing in front of him had strength and determination that ordinary people could not match. Salomon was not a young man who needed to be taken care of. He apologized readily, "But you haven't told me yet, where did your vibranium come from?"
"I can only tell you that I obtained it from a regular exporter. It is authorized and completely legal." Salomon blinked, "I can give you a sum of vibranium in exchange for another of your technologies. , that is, the nerve signal transmission technology you installed on MK43. I have had two ideas before, one is to use your nerve signal transmission technology to instruct the power armor, and the other is to emit signals through implanted artificial organs. Give instructions. Before I can distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of the two methods, I have to make a side-by-side comparison."
"Although I am not a biologist, I can tell you that it is unrealistic to use artificial organs. Mechanical damage can be replaced, but artificial organs cannot. The cost is too high." When it comes to his technology, Si Tucker seemed to have returned to the confident and carefree attitude of the past, "Do you want to modify your android? In this way, won't my force feedback armor fall behind? I'll even spray paint it for you. Got it!"
"You can use it as a technical reserve. The force feedback armor of the android is still the main armor."
"Okay, but I always feel that the energy backpack you set up is too stupid and takes up too much space. But since you have paid, you have the final say."
Stark had no intention of delving into the matter.
He had seen Salomon's artificial man, whose intelligence made Stark envious. But he knew that it was not a technological product, but an intelligent creature created by mysterious alchemy. He could imagine the combat effectiveness of those artificial humans after wearing force-feedback power armor.
"What are you going to do with those androids?" Stark asked.
"The first step is of course to find a fight." Salomon was not in the mood to answer this question. He had other things to do.
He is busy digging the graves of the Knights of the Round Table!
