As Jarvis spoke, he played clips from movies and TV shows on the screen.
“I am an American, and an American superhero…”
"You're not that stupid..."
"I'm still ahead..."
Under Jarvis's adjustment, after the characters in film and television works say a sentence, it becomes a recording of Batman's same sentence.
Tony only listened to a few sentences before he understood: "Shh! This guy even has the same rhythm as the lines!"
Jarvis: "Yes, so his conversation with you might just be one line picked out from countless lines and played back."
Tony rubbed his chin. "Is this guy crazy? He's not Milche Gabor. Why is he so strictly guarded? Forget it. What about the materials and parts on his armor? Can we find out where they came from?"
Jarvis: "I found a clue. He may have used some of these batches of materials, but among the documents I found about these materials, except for those with clear destinations, many have been reported as damaged, so I can't verify it further."
Tony: “Reporting damage?”
"Theft, loss, accidental damage, discard, etc." Jarvis explained.
Tony narrowed his eyes. "So, he used stolen goods? Humph, no wonder this guy is covered in black."
"That should be it. I followed the reports of damage to these materials and looked for possible theft or sales gangs involved, but I lost the clue here," Jarvis said.
Tony: “What’s going on?” Since they have traced the case back to the gang directly involved, there can’t be no clues at all.
"The gangs in Los Angeles have been changing frequently recently. They are constantly disappearing, merging, and integrating. If we want to find out where the stolen goods have gone, we can only send people to find specific people and ask them," said Jarvis.
Tony understood.
This is the weakness of artificial intelligence.
It is difficult for Jarvis to track down some underground transactions that do not have any electronic records.
"I'll send someone. Are there any other clues?" Tony continued to ask.
Jarvis: "This is the only clue we can confirm at the moment, sir."
Tony finished his burger and clapped his hands. "Just send an email to Pepper about these investigations. I think it would be more interesting to catch this guy myself and take off his mask."
Jarvis: "Sir, I don't see what's interesting about that."
Tony chuckled. "Think about it. A guy who hides his head and shows his tail tries his best to hide his identity, but can only watch me expose him. Isn't this interesting?"
Jarvis: "Sir, you have unmasked at least thirty ladies. It seems that you really enjoy doing this."
Tony: "... No, it's two different things! Batman is a man, okay? Um, wait. Did I mention Michelle Gable? Is he really a "he" and not a "she"? JARVIS, analyze it, what is the probability that Batman is a woman?"
Jarvis: "It's impossible to be sure. Although my program has determined that his action pattern is more like that of a man, I reserve my opinion."
Tony was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, this guy has hidden his identity so well, whether he behaves like "he" or "she", it could be a deliberate smokescreen."
At this point, he slapped his forehead in annoyance: "This guy must have done it on purpose. There will be no result if I continue to guess like this. Forget it, let's just work."
…
At this moment, someone who was hiding his head and showing his tail was not sleeping, but was watching the news and reviewing his actions last night.
He was surprised by the appearance of Iron Man's big baby last night.
But not long after, he felt that this was a blessing from God.
The bet on beating up the gangster ended in a tie, but Tony, because of problems with the stability of his armor and stimulated by his escape, chose to run away.
The competition between the two officially ended.
Therefore, the first bet that Tony accepted by default, which was about the number of people saved, was lost to Luke.
Now, Luke has a net win against Tony of one.
In the system panel, Tony's abilities were all highlighted again.
This time, Tony's abilities are different from before!
Even with Luke's calmness, he was trembling in his heart.
This is the ability to create iron armor!
Luke had Tony's abilities before, but he was unable to create a complete iron armor because he lacked the most important inspiration.
Without that explosive inspiration, it would be impossible for anyone to design an iron armor from scratch and put it into actual combat within a month.
Based on everything the intelligent program recorded last night, Tony's Iron Man armor should be considered Mark... 1.5
This thing is much better than the Mark I that was cobbled together in a cave, but the Mark II would not have a serious problem like thruster failure after only a few dozen minutes of operation.
Therefore, it can only be considered as a 1.5 version between Mark I and II.
This also shows that the stability of this set of steel armor is a big problem, and its universality has not been fully considered.
Tony didn't have time to consider the issue of universality. He was targeting Batman, the extraordinary human being, and wanted him to be as strong as possible.
Last night, Luke took the initiative and took advantage of Tony's arrogance to make him agree to save people first and then compete.
For this, he still felt a little apologetic towards the eldest master.
But with experience points ahead of him, he had no time to get entangled with the young master, so he had to cut the Gordian knot.
Moreover, now that Tony has already created the Iron Man armor of the level of Mark 1.5, it is a question whether he will suffer the most crucial misfortune in his life.
Luke didn't care much about this issue.
Tony is a guy with savior potential.
Therefore, his mistakes were always earth-shattering, and his progress would be even faster afterwards.
He has always been the one standing center stage.
Even without this kidnapping, he would have other tests.
As a savior, he will eventually choose that path. This is what is meant by "it is difficult to change one's nature while it is easy to change the country."
Even if Tony really had a problem, Luke wouldn't mind rushing over to help once.
The more troublesome thing is that it is only 2004 now, which should be three to five years before Tony was attacked.
There was no way Luke could monitor this young master's movements for a long time.
This is Tony Stark, super-rich man and defense supplier.
If any clues of monitoring Tony were detected, it would inevitably attract a lot of investigation, including S.H.I.E.L.D.
The attention of a certain bald black gangster has never left Tony, his nephew.
Luke didn't want to offend that troublesome African American in advance, even though strictly speaking, that African American was a good person.
Resisting the urge to update his armor technology immediately, he went into the basement and used the intelligent program to review the operation again to ensure that everything was foolproof.
Tony Stark's abilities are there, they won't be lost or run away.
Restraining one's irrational impulses is also an important course.
It would be great if you could use the manufacturing technology of Iron Armor to hone your patience.
