After listening to the information Dr. Hansen gave them, Luke and Tony's faces turned strange.
By the time she finished speaking, Luke had been staring at the young master with complicated eyes for a while, and finally expressed his thoughts: "So, um... people should not be too immoral."
Tony's expression changed for several seconds before he cursed, "Hua Q!"
As for who that Q is, that depends on one's own opinion.
The reason why the two behaved like this was naturally because Dr. Hansen told the love-hate relationship between Killian and Tony.
It was 1999 in Bern, Switzerland. On Christmas Eve, Tony had sex with Dr. Hansen and got to know her research project - Project Extremis.
Using dendritic cells to complete the recompilation process of the human body can allow people to "regrow" missing parts just like plants.
After Tony gave Dr. Hansen the injection, he wrote down the formula that suddenly came to his mind, solved the key problem in the Extremis Plan, and left.
This was just a brief encounter in his more than ten years of fooling around.
So Tony completely forgot that he had maliciously stood up another person before he went back to his room with Dr. Hansen that night.
This person is Killian.
Killian, who had been on the rooftop in the cold wind all night, did not wait for his idol Tony Stark to come, and deeply felt what despair was.
But by chance, he discovered Dr. Hansen's Extremis Plan, reached a cooperation with her, and then used the Extremis Plan to seek investment.
Killian succeeded, and so AIM was born.
But in a sense, he hasn't quite succeeded.
The Extremis Project is still not completed, and Dr. Hansen is unable to resolve the out-of-control situation of the Extremis virus.
People who are injected with the Extremis virus are likely to lose control inexplicably and explode when regenerating at high speed.
This is the truth Tony found out about the explosion that killed the veteran.
They didn't die from anything else, they themselves were a living explosive that could explode at any time.
Dr. Hansen went to find Tony to ask him to help fix the defects of the Extremis virus.
But unlike her as a developer, Killian has deep feelings for the eldest master, so he simply plays hardball and wants to use Pepper to force Tony to complete the Extremis virus.
Even if the plan fails, he will kill Tony.
Because according to Dr. Hansen's classification, those who are prone to self-destruction are only in the first stage and cannot be considered successful.
By the second stage, self-destruction basically does not exist, so it can be considered a success.
Killian is in the third stage. Not only will he not self-destruct, he can also control the Extremis virus with ease.
For Killian, who was a cripple at the beginning, this result was perfect enough.
Moreover, after the DC SHIELD incident, he seemed to have found a bigger backer, and A-Tech had abundant funds and manpower.
With his full support, Dr. Hansen has developed an inhibitor that can suppress the runaway of the Extremis virus to a certain extent.
Therefore, Killian can only say that he attaches great importance to getting a solution from the young master, but he will not let him live.
Anyway, there are so many disabled people in the world, and there are enough potential targets to choose from. The most we can do is to increase the success rate by using human lives.
This is the difference between R&D personnel and capitalists.
Dr. Hansen wanted to pursue a perfect work that would go down in history.
Killian only needs a suitable product, and defects will make it easier for him to control his subordinates.
As long as the 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 Tony's own doing.
Without the key formula he left behind, Dr. Hansen would never be able to create an experimental Extremis virus in a short period of time.
If he hadn't stood up Killian, Killian might not have met Dr. Hansen.
Or even if he encounters it, Killian may not be able to wait until the desperate virus succeeds.
As for Killian picking on Tony, there's nothing much to say.
Judging from Killian's personality described by Dr. Hansen, even if Tony had cared for him very much at the beginning, he would still have dealt with him when necessary.
Capital doesn’t talk about feelings, it only talks about interests.
For the sake of power and money, even direct blood relatives can turn against each other, let alone a good project like the Desperate Situation Plan that can make you successful overnight.
After figuring out the whole story, Luke asked Tony to go out and take the two prototypes in the kitchen back to Space No. 1.
Then he gave Dr. Hansen another injection of anesthetic and put her into room number two.
This is to protect her.
Who knows if Killian will turn against her and kill her.
He is not a tech geek like Dr. Hansen, and he is not that naive.
With the technology Killian currently possesses, Dr. Hansen is the biggest weakness of the Extremis Project.
If she behaves herself, she can continue to be a researcher with peace of mind.
But if she changes jobs, she can come up with a second pioneering technology in minutes, and the inhibitor control method will also pose huge hidden dangers.
Not to mention that she just came to tip off Tony, the old man.
If Killian really caught this traitor, he would either lock her up for life as a scientific research slave or shoot her to death to avoid future troubles.
After settling Dr. Hansen, Luke drove Tony back to the beach villa.
Stark Group's engineering team has dug up the basement. Tony has to retrieve his armor and then take Luke to Killian to find the cause.
More than ten minutes later, the sports car drove towards a small farm on the outskirts of Los Angeles.
Tony opened the door of a warehouse on the farm and looked at what was exposed inside. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Are you kidding?"
Because there was actually a fighter plane parked in this old-looking farm warehouse.
Tony could tell at a glance that this was a Quinjet.
However, judging from its various components, the fighter jet is not brand new, but a second-hand modified one.
Tony got out of the car and walked into the warehouse: "You just put it here?"
Luke went back outside, drove the sports car in and parked it aside. "What's wrong with that? It's a second-hand item that Nick Fury is clearing out at a big sale. Do I really want to hire dozens of maintenance technicians for it?"
Tony was speechless.
Of course he wouldn't hire one, because he simply looked down on such second-hand goods.
Of course Luke would not say that he had thrown the fighter plane into the safe house when he came here.
It had been kept in storage space before, so there was no need to worry about daily maintenance.
The two got on the fighter plane, Luke activated the stealth function, and then turned on the suspension mode to leave the warehouse.
The huge wind pressure made the old warehouse overwhelmed. Just as the fighter plane took off, it collapsed into a pile of rubble with a loud bang.
Tony: "... Let me guess, the boss threw it here for you, right?"
Luke: “Hehe.”
Amid Lu's warm and elegant laughter, the Quinjet quickly took off, switched to cruise mode, and flew towards Miami, Florida.
…
Miami in July is perfect for Selena.
Not only is there frequent sunshine for sunbathing, but the average daily temperature is 25-32 degrees Celsius, making everyone who comes here feel extremely "warm".
Tony turned his gaze away from the greasy ladies on the beach, a little surprised: "You... do you usually carry out missions like this?"
Luke calmly drove the yacht towards the target: "What else? If you fly around in a battle armor every day like me, I will be annoyed to death."
Tony was speechless.
There is really nothing to say about the person who would rather fly a Quinjet than directly fly in a battle armor in order to keep it secret.
There is really no cure for this suspicious illness.
