"The operation has begun." One of the men replied. "The Iron Patriot has taken the bait!"
At the moment Tony was attacked, the U.S. military had received news that there was news about the Ten Rings Gang somewhere in the Middle East, and the real mastermind was there. As for where the news came from... I don't know.
So in order to show their face in front of the public, the military immediately dispatched the Iron Patriot!
There is a saying that the presence of Iron Patriot is really very poor. Every time there is a big event, they are unable to make it, either because they are too late or they are late. A group of superhero fans even posted an oil painting online to satirize Iron Patriot.
Call the Iron Patriots in Washington.
This oil painting looks like it was painted by a big fan. It is very good and the characters on it are all superheroes.
Then a dialogue was added.
'This painting is called The Iron Patriot in Washington, right? '
'right! '
'What did you draw? '
'Don't you know how to read it? Super hero! '
'What about the Iron Patriot? 'Well, there's just no Iron Patriot in the painting.
'Didn't you see the name? The Iron Patriots are in Washington! '
It's a very old meme, but netizens still enjoy it. After all, Iron Patriot really has no achievements, but a group of people are crazily touting him!
You know, when Kai's public opinion environment was very bad in the past, he still participated in many major events. He cannot be credited with credit, but hard work is always a bit. He was still being trolled, but he is much better now. After all, he participated in many major events and made contributions, so online public opinion let him go.
Iron Patriot... has Mao's achievements, even the hard work is enough, so he is naturally criticized.
This kind of public opinion cannot be solved by criticism. In a situation like this, the more criticism and criticism, the worse the reputation of Iron Patriot will be. This has left the military and government scratching their heads. There is no way. The most trustworthy person in the government is the Iron Patriot, so they will rely on him many times, such as protecting the safety of dignitaries in major events... This kind of work cannot be publicized. If it is publicized, That is to pull out the protected people and whip their corpses together.
Oh, at such a dangerous moment, instead of letting Iron Patriot save the people, you let him protect those politicians...
Think about what the people will say.
Therefore, the public opinion positioning of Iron Patriot is very embarrassing.
So the military has been holding back its energy, planning to conduct a beautiful mission to change public opinion.
Then came this sortie.
Even in order to prevent Tony from stealing credit, no one was notified.
Of course they knew how ridiculous this so-called taking credit was. What did Tony want to take credit for? But the problem is Tony's terrible personality, who doesn't know it? If he knew that the culprit behind the bombing of his hometown was there, would he be able to bear it?
So I simply hid it.
By the time it was all over, Tony had nothing left to say.
But they didn't expect that this was a trap!
…
"Done!" In a black factory in a small mountain village in the Middle East, a woman lifted her mask, revealing a typical Western face. She said holding up a communicator.
Killian watched the entire process of capturing the Iron Patriot.
All this is a trap.
This is a black factory. The factory is full of women from the village. The factory is also real. It specializes in OEM for foreign brands. Well, it is also a copycat. When Rhodes came here, he was confused. What? Now the terrorists have started an economic war? Could knocking down the U.S. economy with knock-off sportswear? And thus destroy the entire United States?
Then this guy used the inherent arrogance of Americans to 'liberate' these female workers. Well, he thought these women were forced to work...I don't know where he came from.
In short, everyone skipped work happily. After all, a robot came, so there was no reason for the factory director to ask everyone to go to work, right?
Then one by one the female workers shook hands with Rod to express their gratitude.
Rhodes is also very proud of having rescued so many girls, right?
As a result, something happened to the last one.
The hand I was holding suddenly felt a burst of heat!
The temperature was so high that it directly reached the limit of the mecha, and then... the machine froze!
This is also due to the fact that the military was too anxious at the time. Tony's early mechas did have problems with the temperature being too low or too high, causing them to crash. But the military doesn't think it's a big problem. After all, such extreme environments are very rare, and the military has also made modifications, such as modifications to the paint and shell. This allows Iron Patriot to get rid of the disadvantages of low-temperature crashes, but... high-temperature crashes are not a concern... After all, the military really can't think of any extreme environment that can reach several thousand degrees!
And then... unlucky.
When the mecha is good, it is indeed very good. It can fly in the sky and escape from the earth. But once it crashes... it will be an iron coffin!
Killian almost died laughing when he saw this scene.
At the same time, he despises Tony even more!
Is this his so-called highest work?
Rubbish!
"Take over the Iron Patriot's communication system and conduct paralysis operations!" Killian immediately said to his men.
Iron Patriot is considered the pinnacle of military and tactical weapons, so it is naturally impossible to let it fall into the hands of others at will. Some methods still need to be used. If the Iron Patriot's communications and signals are cut off, there will be an emergency mechanism immediately. What kind of emergency mechanism... That can be said.
Anyway, the last resort is to notify Tony directly and let the superheroes solve it... Yes, this is the current federal government. Although it never talks about superheroes, and even shows its rejection of superheroes, in fact... I understand. Everybody understands. A little face is not worth a black gauze hat.
"Then fly him back. The plane will be at your place soon."
"clear!"
Gu Hu...
With Kai, a veteran in interrogation, it was impossible for Maya Hansen to resist.
Others are scientists and scholars. It was too difficult for her to resist the interrogation of a veteran police officer. The beautiful doctor in front of her had committed the biggest crime in her life, which was just parking at will and being fined.
How can I stand this?
Therefore, Dr. Hansen's already shaky defense line was completely defeated, and the bamboo tube told everything she knew like beans. Listening to the information given by Dr. Hansen, Kai and Tony looked strange. By the time she finished speaking, Kai had looked at the young master with complicated eyes for a while, and finally expressed his thoughts: "So, um... you can't be too immoral."
Tony's expression changed, and it took several seconds before he cursed: "Hua Q!"
As for who that Q is, it's a matter of opinion.
What made the two behave like this was naturally because Dr. Hansen revealed the love-hate relationship between Killian and Tony. It was 1999 in Bern, Switzerland. On Christmas Eve, Tony had sex with Dr. Hansen and saw her research project - Project Extremis.
It was 1999 in Bern, Switzerland. On Christmas Eve, Tony had sex with Dr. Hansen and saw her research project - Project Extremis. After Tony gave Dr. Hansen the injection, he wrote down the formula that came to his mind, solved the key problem in the Desperate Plan, and left. This was just a superficial marriage with nothing new in his many years of promiscuity and fooling around. He himself had forgotten.
Therefore, it is even more impossible for Tony to remember that he maliciously let go of another person's dove before returning to the room with Dr. Hansen that night. This person is Killian.
Killian, who had been blowing the cold wind all night on the rooftop, did not wait for his idol Tony Stark to come, and deeply felt what despair meant.
At that time, Killian had regarded Tony as his last life-saving straw. If he failed this time, his research and his life would be destroyed. Finally, in the cold Swiss wind, he became desperate and planned to commit suicide. However, the desperate situation he experienced when he saw the fireworks when he jumped from the building to commit suicide grew a desire for revenge and decided to conduct research on his own.
But he accidentally discovered Dr. Hansen's Desperate Plan, which coincided with his research, so he reached a cooperation with her, and then used the Desperate Plan to find investment. And then... I actually got the investment.
Just like dreaming.
Killian succeeded, so there is now Pioneer Technology Corporation (AIM).
But in a sense, he hasn't quite succeeded yet. The Extremis plan is still not completed, and Dr. Hansen cannot solve the out-of-control situation of the Extremis virus. People injected with the Extremis virus are likely to lose control inexplicably and explode while regenerating at high speeds. This is the truth about the bombing that killed the retired soldier that Tony found. They didn't die from something else, they themselves were living explosives, the kind that would explode at any time.
Of course, it cannot be said that Killian has made no progress at all.
According to Killian's classification, people who are prone to self-destruction are only in the first stage and cannot be considered successful. By the second stage, self-destruction is almost non-existent and can be considered a success. Killian is in the third stage. Not only is he unable to self-destruct, he is also able to control the Extremis virus.
Killian now not only possesses strength that far exceeds that of ordinary people, but also has the ability to regenerate at super speed. In fact, the first stage virus carriers can also do this, but they are unstable and may go berserk at any time, generating unparalleled high temperatures. , and then explode. The carriers of the second stage are even stronger. As long as a critical part such as the head is severely damaged, it can regenerate at a super speed. You can even use the high temperature, a by-product of the virus, to defend against enemies!
Very scary. But if the high-temperature ability is used too much, there is also the possibility of going berserk. Once out of control, it will directly enter the explosion countdown.
Killian went further, the virus in his body had reached perfection. He can even breathe fire, and he can use his high-temperature ability unlimitedly, just like a little walking sun.
With unlimited funding and personnel support, Dr. Hansen, with Killian's full help, has developed inhibitors that can suppress the runaway virus to a certain extent. After Killian reached this step, he immediately changed his dormant attitude before. He wanted revenge! Anyway, we have a direction. There are so many disabled people in the world, and there are enough potential targets to choose from. At most, we can use our lives to pile them up, but we can still find a way out!
He can't bear it anymore!
But Dr. Hansen was extremely opposed to Killian's attitude! This is the difference between R&D personnel and capitalists. Dr. Hansen wanted to pursue a perfect work that would leave a lasting name in history. Killian only needs a suitable product, and defects make it easier for him to control his men. As long as people injected with the Extremis virus cannot be sure whether they will self-destruct, Killian, who has mastered the inhibitor, can control them.
Therefore, this matter was entirely caused by Tony himself. Without the key formula he left behind, Dr. Hansen would not be able to make a breakthrough in a short time. Without him, Killian might not have been able to meet Dr. Hansen. Nor will he add his research results to Dr. Hansen's Extremis project to create the terrifying Extremis virus.
On the other hand, there is nothing to say about Killian picking a fight with Tony.
You deserve it!
Nima, a good tech nerd, was forced by Tony, a bastard, to become a mercenary businessman...not about emotions, only about profits. For the sake of power and money, he no longer treats people as human beings.
I am very curious about what kind of transformation Killian went through in his heart on the rooftop back then, which led to such a big change.
It was also because Killian became more and more inhumane that Maya Hansen decided to come to Tony, because he knew that Killian would never let Tony go.
"Don't look at me! I didn't know...it was just a joke!" Tony was a little annoyed by the looks from Maya and Kai.
"Haha...Tony, tell me the truth...how many more jokes like this can there be?" Kai sneered twice and asked with a little worry.
"Huh?" Tony had never considered this question.
In fact, he is not the kind of person who considers other people's feelings.
How about saying that he has an awkward personality?
He is obviously a bastard and doesn't care about other people's feelings at all, but he also has a bit of a glass heart and cares very much about what others think of him.
Isn't there something wrong with this?
Kai asked.
Tony is also a bit creepy.
You know, his father was almost the same as him, and then he gave him a whip cord, an enemy who hated him to the core. And he is better than his master. Strictly speaking, his father can be regarded as a technical geek. He was romantic for a while when he was young, but after marrying Tony's mother, he became more and more immersed in scientific research and did not do much trouble. . But what about him?
The research remains the same, but the work never stops.
He likes to be in the spotlight much more than his dad!
If Killian's experience is expanded a little... then he has offended a lot of people.
Not too many, as long as there is a 100% chance, then he will have so many enemies that even he himself will feel a little nervous.
"Can't you?"
"I can't say for sure." Kai thought for a while and said, "After all, you know who you are, and those who can come into contact with you cannot be ordinary people."
This is true.
As the richest man in the world, the people Tony can come into contact with and be offended by him are most likely not ordinary people. They are either in the scientific community, the business world, the political world, or even the entertainment industry!
Think about it...Tony didn't even expect that he was so obsessed with death before.
The fact that he was not killed was simply due to the blessing of his father in heaven!
