Tony and Xia Zhiye were the only ones left in the office.
Tony suddenly looked straight at Xia Zhiye. Xia Zhiye blinked and touched his face: "What's wrong with me?"
Tony didn't say anything, but after a while he suddenly let out a long sigh.
"… What happened to you? Is your relationship with Little Pepper in trouble? Let me tell you, that girl is really nice, you should stop being so frivolous. She doesn't care about your dark history anymore. You should know that you just casually hooked up with that girl before, and she helped you with the aftermath. Now she is willing to follow you wholeheartedly. What else do you want to do?"
As soon as Xia Zhiye opened his mouth, he spoke in a tone like he was educating a child.
Tony's mouth twitched: "Why don't you mind your own business."
"What did you say?" Xia Zhiye frowned.
"Nothing." Tony looked at Xia Zhiye deeply, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Why?"
"ah?"
"I mean, why did you do that?" Tony said, "That was my choice, and I had considered the risks I might have to take. Why did you do that instead of me..."
"Does that even need to be said?"
Xia Zhiye's expression became serious.
Tony also stared at Xia Zhiye blankly, waiting for his next words.
Xia Zhiye said word by word: "Of course... to steal your limelight."
"… "
"Alright, alright." Xia Zhiye waved his hand: "Can we stop this awkward conversation? What's wrong with two grown men being so shy? Don't you feel disgusted by your clingy attitude? Well, I drank with your father so many times back then, and he always paid for it. I can't just watch his son go to resist nuclear bombs while I hide and watch, right? And..."
At this point, Xia Zhiye's expression became serious. "When he got into trouble, I was still in a deep sleep and hadn't woken up yet. Now, I can't just watch you take such a risk. Being a hero, how desirable? But I know that this is a life-threatening thing... Protect yourself well. I can't do this and that for you every time."
After listening to this, Tony suddenly laughed: "You are clearly trying to steal my limelight, but you still say it so righteously."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and said, "Come on, I'll take you to see our new toys."
…
…
For this research, Tony specially reorganized a laboratory, and the entire experiment was conducted in top secret.
Because Tony had publicly announced at a press conference that the Stark Group would no longer be involved in the arms business.
However, what Xia Zhiye entrusted to him was the development of a weapon, which meant that even inside Stark Tower, the two of them acted sneakily like thieves, fearing that they would be discovered and cause trouble.
"In fact, the battle in New York has half good and half bad."
Tony walked with Xia Zhiye and said to him, "Let's not talk about the disadvantages. As for the advantages... We finally have a general understanding of what we don't know. We also obtained a lot of Chitauri weapons for research. I already have a lot of ideas about this, and I will probably start preparing to produce it later."
As he spoke, he gestured to Xia Zhiye.
Xia Zhiye nodded as he listened. In fact, he agreed with the research and development of weapons.
If we don't prepare in advance, do we really have to wait until Thanos arrives and rely on the few people in Wakanda to fight back
You know... what's shown in the movie is probably just the tip of the iceberg.
At that time, the earth may suffer the most comprehensive invasion, and it is unimaginable what will happen then.
Do everything possible to prepare everything that can be prepared!
There is nothing wrong with this idea.
The two talked as they walked, and soon they arrived at a special laboratory.
Tony shows Summer Night a brand new weapon...
"Pure energy driven, large caliber self-propelled artillery."
Tony pointed at the thing in front of him and said to Xia Zhiye, "I've considered the size and material issues. If it's too big, it will lack mobility. It must be small, flexible, maneuverable, and powerful. The material issue is not so easy to solve. Metals that are too precious are not suitable for it. Because our goal is to mass-produce it! We are not afraid of it being shot down, but we are afraid that after the precious metals are shot down, we will not be able to recycle them. Considering this..."
Listening to Tony's introduction, Xia Zhiye looked at the square block of metal in front of him and was a little stunned for a moment.
"Are you sure this is the so-called 'self-propelled artillery' and not the box that the Saint Seiya uses to store his sacred clothes?"
"Sacred garment? What is that?" Tony asked.
"Hmm... probably similar to the Mark series."
Xia Zhiye said: "But they are made in Greece."
"They infringed on my rights?" Tony blinked. "It doesn't matter. After we leave here, they will receive a lawyer's letter soon."
"… Stop it." Xia Zhiye said speechlessly: "How do I use this thing?"
"this."
Tony took out a bracelet from the side and put it on Xia Zhiye's wrist: "Now it's the initial form..."
As he spoke, he pulled Xia Zhiye's wrist and aimed it at the metal block. The red light on the bracelet flashed again and swept across the metal block.
The next second, the entire block of metal began to deform.
The overall shape is a cannon barrel, with a thick end and a suspension device.
"It has an intelligent AI inside that can be connected to your bracelet. You can use the bracelet to command it to follow, attack, or even attack method. There are currently three attack methods: normal attack, tracking attack, and the last one is a pure continuous attack. It uses up all energy and launches a continuous light energy attack."
"Bracelet control? Didn't you say before that it could be controlled by AI?"
“That’s a topic for future research.”
Tony said, "And the reason why this is controlled by a bracelet is because it is a gift from me to you. By the way, you can also take your spaceship away... and this thing too. You can command it to transform, and when it is not needed, it will turn into a metal box. You can carry it on your back, or you can use your special ability to put it away. By the way, it is called Sumer. Considering your naming ability, I will help you!"
Xia Zhiye opened his mouth and twitched for a while: "So, am I despised by you?"
"perhaps."
Tony said, "Why don't you try?"
"Can it be controlled by sound?"
"Of course, I have collected your audio." Tony said: "You can try to communicate with Sumer... um, activate it first." (To be continued)
