Tony couldn't wait to catch the Ark Reactor thrown towards him. Just now, he felt that his appearance was too inferior. He came out to be beaten. He finally found his rhythm and wanted to blind the enemy with flash bombs. He had a dog eye, but he didn't expect that this move had already been used once, and he suffered a big loss.
Fortunately, the matter was resolved smoothly. The Iron Overlord has been taken away. The Ark Reactor cannot continue to work. You can hear Obadiah's cursing voice inside the steel armor. After losing its kinetic energy, the armor couldn't even open on its own, so that he was actually trapped inside. There was no way out for a while.
After Shinji Ikari confirmed that his opponent would indeed not move, he breathed a sigh of relief. The spells he could cast now were still relatively limited. If every spell wasn't quite practical, he might not be able to deal with the big guy in front of him.
After Tony replaced the brand-new Ark reactor, he seemed to be resurrected, although that was just his illusion.
"I think we should withdraw." Shinji Ikari calmly withdrew from the battlefield and blended into the crowd. The riots under Stark Tower have attracted widespread attention, and the sirens of police cars are constantly sounding. At the same time, a group of desperate reporters rushed to the scene quickly.
For them, there is no more exciting news material than the sudden appearance of mysterious robots from Stark Industries.
At this time, Tony had also noticed that someone was pointing a camera at him and filming him wildly. Fortunately, he pulled down his mask, and everyone could only take pictures of a moving steel robot, while his face was hidden.
After confirming that the problem had been solved, Tony hugged Iron Overlord, which was several times larger than it was. The thrusters all over his body sprayed out bright white flames and rose into the sky, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.
Obadai is not the point. The point is that Iron Zhanyi's technology cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of others. He has already experienced the danger of this technology once.
However, when he returned to his beachside villa, the doorbell rang quickly. Jarvis displayed the situation outside the door through a holographic projection, and standing at the door was a man with a black suit and a hairline. Very tall man.
"Hello, I'm Phil Coulson from the Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency." The agent with a high hairline in a black suit outside the door said a name that was very long and very powerful. organization.
Tony looked at Shinji Ikari: "It seems that you guessed it right. There will indeed be relevant departments coming to us. Well...the organizations in the East that manage supernatural things are called relevant departments, right?"
"No, that was just a joke. I think he asked you to hide your identity. After all, we left too many clues at the beginning. It is difficult to hide it completely."
Tony rubbed his temples, feeling rather troubled by such a visitor, but then he seemed to think of something: "Have you ever heard of an organization called Atlantis? There were people who claimed to be Atlanteans before. They came to me and said that there were two more mages on the land who used their magic.
I think they might be talking about us. Is that also the power that humans hide behind normal society? "
"You ask me, how do I know?" Shinji Ikari shook his head, but he already had some guesses in his mind. The spell he used was most likely created by the Lannos. The so-called Atlantis It's probably the civilization they created.
Tony didn't, and asked the other party to continue waiting outside the door. Agent Coulson, who had a high hairline, directly explained his purpose.
"Do you want me to hide my identity?"
"Yes, just read it as above for the following press conference. The man in the steel suit is your bodyguard. And you have sufficient alibi. You were on the yacht that night, which will reduce A lot of trouble.”
Tony looked at the two prompt cards in his hand, with a strange expression on his face, but he still nodded. The press conference would be held soon.
Shinji Ikari looked at the expression on Tony's face and couldn't help but have a bad feeling.
Tony walked up to the rostrum of the press conference as planned, and read according to the manuscript: "Regarding the accident that occurred in Stark Industries in recent days, the newly developed robot prototype lost control and destroyed the Ark Reactor. lead to……"
"But we see superheroes wearing steel armor."
"He just happened to appear, and you just happened to disappear."
"Don't tell us this was all an accident."
Tony kept explaining in front of reporters, but the sharp questions made him embarrassed. His friend Colonel Rhodes had to whisper in his ear: "Just read it according to the script."
The official external explanation does not need to answer these reporters' questions one by one. Stark Industries, with a military background, is fully qualified to ignore it.
Tony looked at the content on the cue card and read to it: "The fact is..."
At this point, he paused for a long time. Shinji Ikari, who was among the audience, suddenly covered his eyes. His powerful intuition already had a premonition of what was going to happen next.
"I am Iron Man."
In an instant, all the reporters and viewers stood up. No one would have thought that one of the richest men in the world would admit that he is a legendary superhero. There is nothing more exciting than this.
Colonel Rhodes, who represented the military, and Agent Coulson, who represented the Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency, were both at a loss.
It was not easy to calm down the commotion that followed. Everyone's heart for gossip began to burn. No one could resist a superhero who announced his identity.
The sudden news plunged the conference site into chaos. It took Tony a full day to deal with the excited reporters.
However, after returning to his beach villa, he did not choose to rest immediately. Instead, he picked up a pendant around his neck.
"Do you believe it? This is actually the crystal used by magicians. I just observed him with a scanning tunneling microscope. Guess what I found?" Tony held the crystal and it reflected bright light under the light.
"The analysis of the mass spectrometer shows that it is composed of extremely pure carbon elements, just like diamonds, but the results given by the scanning tunneling microscope are that the atomic arrangement inside it is very regular, and it can even be seen in the atomic arrangement. to a three-dimensional integrated circuit-like structure.
Do you understand what this means? It means that this is not a crystal, but a chip. To be more precise, it should be a core. It is just such a thumb-sized crystal. The computing power contained in it is Comparable to a supercomputer.
Is this the technology of magicians? Are the so-called Atlantis humans or aliens? The mysterious man from Atlantis told me that I could use this crystal to contact him. Also reminded me not to expose their existence.
I think I have some understanding. If humans knew that there was a group of marine creatures on their own planet with technology far superior to their own, they would probably fall into panic. "
"So what are you going to do now?" Shinji Ikari was basically sure after seeing the three-dimensional circuit diagram in the holographic projection. The so-called Atlantis is the civilization built by the Lannos.
He had seen many of the structures in the circuit diagram in the big questions he had done before. It was a very typical Mohist style, but he did not point this out. After all, he had no way to explain the source of his intelligence.
"Of course, call them. If you don't understand the questions, just ask them face to face. It's that simple." Tony hates the Riddler. Fortunately, in the Marvel world, most people speak human language, at least not like folk customs. There are so many Riddlers in the simple Gotham City.
Tony rubbed his fingers over the crystal pendant in his hand. He already understood part of the magic power. He used the magic power he borrowed from Unit 1 to activate the crystal. As the crystal rotated, a blue glow appeared in front of him. The mist began to rotate rapidly, and then the dark space door opened in the rotating mist, and high-pressure water jets spurted out, directly rushing Tony out and against the wall of the villa. Fortunately, his physical fitness was not bad. , The foundation is already good, and with the training after learning magic, he will not be broken by the high-pressure water column.
The summoned water column quickly disappeared, and a translucent wall blocked the space door. From the other side of the wall, a person wearing a blue tights with a similar structure to the body joints, Walked out from the other side of the door.
"I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you last time. We live in the deep sea. When establishing a space channel, it is best to build a barrier to isolate the water. Otherwise, the water pressure thousands of meters deep will cause the water inside the space door to Spewed out like a cannonball."
Tony fell down from the wall in embarrassment, and casually constructed a spell to evaporate the water on his body, but he still felt sticky because it was sea water after all.
"I should have thought that you who use the name Atlantis should be active in the deep sea." The expression on Tony's face seemed a little annoyed: "So now can you tell me who the Atlantis people are? Are you aliens? Magicians or what? I hope you won’t tell me that all these are ancient prophecies, and your secrets cannot be revealed to the outside world. "
"No, I can basically tell you what you want to know. We are not aliens, nor are we some ancient mage organization. There are indeed magicians on the earth with a long history, but they do not live in the sea. Instead, we are not living in the sea. Living at the foot of the world's tallest plateau.
As for us? Our history is very short, probably only officially born during World War II. The civilization of Atlantis was created by a group of magicians who had studied in a magician organization at the foot of the plateau. They established the first underwater city on the bottom of the continental shelf and collected war refugees from all over the world, including those in Asia. Europe, Africa, and even North America and South America. Every time a war breaks out in the world, the wizards of Atlantis will go to all parts of the world to bring refugees who are homeless and unable to survive in the war to our underwater city. middle.
I think you should be able to understand how many such people there were during World War II. Tens of millions of people died directly in the war, and even more people were displaced and homeless as a result.
The vast majority of them were sent to Atlantis under the sea by merchant ships. Under the guidance of the wizard, they learned how to use magic, and firmly believed that everything has its own rules, and they have been working hard to To establish the connection between magic and natural science.
Over the years of development, Atlantis has established an excellent magic system on earth and even in the universe. In the process, technology has gradually surpassed the technological level on land. "
Tony was a little dumbfounded when he heard this. If we talk about the Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau, the surprising background is enough to challenge people's three views. The Atlantis civilization can be called the destroyer of three views.
"Since your technology in Atlantis has surpassed that of humans on land, why hasn't there been a war with the land? Don't you have the slightest desire for the land and resources on the land?"
Although Tony has become a pacifist who opposes war, he is still very clear about what human beings are, especially after experiencing the ups and downs of life.
However, the Atlanteans in blue tights shook their heads: "Why do we covet land? Seventy percent of the earth is ocean. Although you have drawn the territorial waters of each country in the ocean, in fact there is no such land at all." The ability to control the entire ocean is our actual territory, which is much larger than any of your countries. Why do you think land is so attractive to us?"
Tony was dumbfounded. Thinking about it carefully, if a civilization has mastered the technology to live freely under the sea, and life on the seabed is no worse than on land, then it seems that there is nothing to worry about with only one-third of an acre on the surface of the earth.
"You see, this is one of the reasons why we didn't break out a war with the people on land. It's not just the sea. Since we can adapt to life under the sea, you must also be able to imagine that we can also live in deserts and even aliens. Adapting little by little, there are too many uninhabited planets in the vast starry sky, and we have already established our own countries on those planets.
Of course, there are other reasons why we have not had war or communication with the land people. Although our technology is far ahead, there are still magicians with a long history living on the land, as well as some others who are famous in the universe. There are powerful existences, and rash contact may involve us in cosmic-level troubles, so most of the time we will not communicate with humans on land. "
