After staying at Alice's house for more than ten minutes, Tony drank the nutritional supplement in his hand one gulp at a time while thinking about things. Then he burped and felt full in his stomach.
"Alice, this product is good. No one is buying Kai's Bingliang Pills." Tony smacked his lips. The taste of this can was very much in line with his personal taste, except for the texture. After all, it was just a nutritional supplement and didn't feel like a real delicacy.
"No, we plan to price it at fifty points." Alice said without looking up as she flipped through the information in her hand.
"Fifty?! Is this some kind of April Fool's joke?" Tony didn't know what to say anymore. Some mass-produced armors were about the same price.
Although Tony did not admit that the thing could be called a battle armor, in his eyes, it was at most an extremely inconvenient armor with its own energy and thermal weapons. However, no matter how inconvenient it was, that thing should be much more useful than nutritional supplements. After all, there are so many things that can replace nutritional supplements, the simplest of which is eating.
"No joke, some of the materials come from some magical world. Although the price is high, the effect is very good." Alice took her eyes away from the information and smiled at Tony, as if she was being cute.
Tony looked at the smile on Alice's face, slowly leaned back ten degrees, and had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Hic. It worked well? How well?"
"Don't worry. We are all level 4. Our daily activities consume a lot of energy. If you finish a can in one go, it will probably last you about three months."
"Three months?! You mean I won't be hungry in these three months?!" Tony was speechless with a little surprise on his face, "Are you kidding me? Tony Stark can't go three months without any delicious food, especially cheeseburgers. Without Tony Stark's care, the cheeseburger shop has no meaning to exist."
"I'm not kidding. I also suggest you move more. If you don't move often, this time might be even longer." Alice continued to act cute maliciously.
Now Tony saw what was hidden in Alice's smile, it was the devil's smile!
"Oh, stop joking, help me remove it, I promise there won't be any additives in your food next time." Tony wanted to get angry, but thinking about what he had done before, he couldn't do it.
During a mission a long time ago, Tony, out of his own bad taste, fed Alice a ration pill that tasted like a souped-up version of canned herring. It was said that the taste stayed in her mouth and stomach for several days.
It had been so long that Tony thought Alice had given up the matter, but he didn't expect her to be waiting for him here. Apparently it's never too late for a woman to take revenge.
"It can't be removed, don't worry, this thing is non-toxic and harmless, very healthy, and helps to maintain your body shape. Finally, I'll pay the fifty points for you, you're welcome." Alice felt so comfortable in her heart, it was really a great pleasure.
If Tony hadn't just experienced a blow from Thor, Alice's revenge this time would have been even more brutal. Just imagine the super-stinky agent that would only take effect ten minutes after being ingested.
"Damn it!" Tony was a little crazy. Controlling his body's nerve signals was really not something he was good at, especially when there was no suitable equipment.
"Okay, this thing is a mobile product and doesn't really take up space. You can still eat it if you want to. And I think it's very simple for you to solve the current situation. Use your homemade mind modification device to modify the amount of dopamine secreted when you ingest food, or just temporarily block the neural signals of fullness?" Alice complained as she looked at Tony.
Tony was really overreacting. It's just that the effect of enjoying delicious food was greatly reduced. He is not Kingpin who has to eat.
"I told you, the mind-modifying device is only a preliminary product. It hasn't been tested on human subjects yet and can't be used blindly. Besides, I don't really want to touch my hard-working nerves. I'm a mechanical genius, not a neurologist. If there is any loss, it will be a loss to the whole world, no, the entire main god space." Tony began to chatter beside Alice.
"Stop! If you really don't want to be like this, I can help you in three days." Alice was really tired of listening to this. She planned to let Tony suffer for three days to get his revenge, and then enter his mind to raise the threshold of appetite a little bit, and at the same time reduce the brain's sensitivity to satiety signals.
"Besides, you're staying here. There must be something else going on. Otherwise, I think I should talk to Pepper." Alice said, supporting her chin. She and Pepper had a pretty good relationship. She admired that self-reliant and mature woman very much. Of course, Alice would appreciate her even more if she didn't act like a little woman in front of Tony.
"Yeah, indeed." Tony hesitated for a moment, then sat down with a somewhat mysterious expression.
"Now is not the best time to implement this plan, but Thor's departure will have a huge impact on the Trail Blazers. The recruitment of new players has not been going well in recent days, so I have to do something to save it all. Therefore, I hope Umbrella can join this plan."
"If you say so much to arouse my interest, I can only say, well done. What's your plan?" Alice closed the information and looked at Tony. She actually felt quite bored recently, so bored that she was too lazy to remove the boredom from her body.
"You know, since we came to the main god space, the multiverse theory has been proven. The worlds we have been on many missions are actually different. And so many missions have taught me that the world actually has size and edges, but this size and edge cannot be detected and discovered by ordinary means."
"So, I've always had an idea, can we travel through the world without the help of the power of the main divine space?" Tony said as he opened his hands. The mechanical force gathered into pictures in his hands, showing a demonstration of a high-tech starship smashing something like laminated glass.
"It's a good idea, but I have a few questions." Alice looked at Tony with the eyes of a tech geek. Thor really did a lot of harm to people. It seems that he needs to come over in private to apologize.
"ask."
"First, have you manufactured the warp drive you told me about in the starship? Can it be mass-produced? What is its maximum speed?"
"Second, have you found a way to locate a world? In other words, do you know how to escape from one world and reach another?"
"Third, don't forget that this world is huge. We can't even defeat Odin or Thanos one-on-one. How can we be sure of our safety?"
Alice asked a lot of questions. She had also thought about traveling through the world without relying on the main god space, or every large force had thought about it. You know, an important reason why the current prices in the main god space are so high is because the logistics costs are too high. If you can travel freely, the prices of many things will be extremely low.
For example, the business of supply packages that Ma Huayun used to do. With so many worlds and so many planets, they lacked everything except supplies. The reason why they could be sold at that price was that the price of jumping into the world within the main god space and the price of retaining in non-main worlds were too expensive.
"First of all, I haven't yet produced a mass-produced curvature engine. There are still some technical difficulties that have not been overcome. But I will get it done. It only takes a little more time."
"Wait, you mean you already have a warp drive that you can't mass produce?"
"Yes, I call it Max 6. Its top speed is six times the beam speed. This is the current optimization limit and is still some distance away from the design limit. Its service life is currently unclear, but as long as I am here, it will not break down. It is now installed on Stark Exploration One."
There is no doubt that this is black technology created by Tony relying on his own talent. However, when technology reaches this level, even if it is ready-made, it is difficult to do reverse engineering. Even Tony cannot guarantee that he can disassemble it and then reinstall it, not to mention that this is "black" technology.
"Ok, I'm happy for you that you have a light speed engine, but the question remains, can you travel through the world by accelerating to six times the speed of light? It's even difficult for it to leave the Milky Way, and it will take tens of thousands of years." Alice still felt that Tony was a bit unrealistic. Not to mention the world between the worlds, even the universe was so huge and boundless.
"No, speed is not the key. Remember the demon who escaped?"
"You mean the guy who created countless world fragments and was driven out by Aleister? Remember, what happened?"
"He didn't just rely on speed to break through. I talked to Aleister before. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he told me that five times the speed of light is a threshold. Now, I have reached it." Tony said, "Also, Asgard's previous God King Odin is said to have left our world, so Asgard should also have some information."
"It sounds reliable. You can go find Thor. After he knows about the plan, I believe he will be willing to tell you about it and apologize to you in private." Alice suggested.
Tony shrugged. "Hey, no need for him to apologize. I've already forgiven him. Like you said, this is a normal choice. I just don't want to see this arrogant, rude, impulsive and disrespectful guy recently. So, if you're willing to join, how about you go and negotiate with him?"
"If the plan is feasible, of course." Alice looked at Tony who was still upset and sighed in her heart. The boy's mind was really complicated. "But there is still one problem, that is the safety issue. Apart from other things, what if we encounter that demon during the journey? Or some other mechanical accident?"
"That's easy. You can't get everything in one go. I don't plan to travel between the two complete worlds right away. Those floating world fragments are my goal. Traveling between them can bring enough data, and these data are valuable enough." Tony's eyes were shining when he said this. "We have two third-level qualified people who have already made marks on the two world fragments. In addition, it has been confirmed through the main god space that the distance between the two fragments is close."
"As for mechanical accidents, there are powerful life-support capsules in the store. Although they are a bit expensive, they are very effective. According to the instructions and usage guide on it, even if there is a problem with the starship, it can keep our bodies and souls safe for a period of time. That period of time is enough for us to return to the main god space."
"Hmm... I accept it reluctantly. One last question. Have you asked it before doing this?"
Alice pondered for a moment and pointed to the ceiling. The backup plans Tony provided had reduced the danger to a certain level. As for the remaining safety hazards, what was the point of being a pioneer if they were not willing to take such a small risk
Of course, the last key question is whether the main god space will allow this kind of behavior, which is fundamentally different from analyzing the operating rules of the main god space.
Using a country as an analogy, analyzing and studying market rules and task rules can be similar to figuring out various national policies and internal rules, but now the idea of bypassing the main god space has the meaning of establishing another country.
"Not yet, but I have a way to understand this thing from the side." Tony seemed to be hinting at something.
"You mean looking for him?" Alice frowned. "That's a good idea. When do you plan to start?"
"The day after tomorrow. Also, if you are ready to join, you'd better give me an answer before tomorrow. Also, you must contact Thor at the latest the day after tomorrow. If everything is OK, I will most likely announce this to all eligible people the day after tomorrow, so as to restore the prestige of the Pioneer Alliance." Tony stated the plan very straightforwardly without any hesitation. This is the normal negotiation in most cases in the main god space.
"No problem. I accept this time arrangement on behalf of Umbrella Corporation. Finally, who are you representing now?" Alice asked after standing up.
"... ..the leader of the Pioneer Alliance... .and the president of Stark Industries." Tony said after a pause.
After sending Tony away, Alice directly pressed the emergency button of the Resident Evil world. Within three hours, all leaders who had a say would arrive at the conference room of the Umbrella Corporation headquarters.
The surprise Tony brought her this time was quite big, and Alice had a hunch that if no major problems arose, this would be the first outlet in the main god space.
Whether it is the Resident Evil world or the Umbrella Corporation, they must not be missed, no matter how low the success rate of the plan is.
After leaving Alice's house, Tony headed towards Flame and Heritage. This adventure group really met the original definition of an adventure group. Tony went there to invite high-end combat forces into the plan. The more famous forces that participated in this plan, the more it would fit Tony's idea. The Pioneer Alliance did not need to eat alone, it was enough to get the leadership.
