Taking advantage of the night, a military truck stopped outside 10880 Mabry Harbor.
After Dio unloaded the goods, Logan drove the military truck alone again and disappeared into the night. He was like a lone wolf, not knowing where his home was, but wandering all the time. It seemed that no one could accompany him to the end of his life.
And when Dio came in carrying the 'trough' of liquid adamantium, Tony, who had received a call from him in advance, went crazy!
"Is this the 'good stuff' you got?"
"Haha, don't expect me to share some with you later. Have you finished the heating device I asked you to make?" After a long time of contact, Dio said very impolitely, but it seems that his attitude towards Tony has never been good from beginning to end... ...
"Are you underestimating the name Stark? You can buy this kind of boring gadget in any hardware store. Oh, sorry, I almost forgot, you seem to know nothing about physics." Tony mocked without giving any face.
But despite the quarrel, he still took Dio to his studio quickly and connected the heating device he had made casually to the "sink" brought by Dio.
After seeing that the liquid adamantium showed no signs of solidifying, Dio finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was not so tiring to keep running with the crimson ripples, it was very troublesome. He couldn't stay by it 24 hours a day. Besides, the ripple energy was not infinite. Now with this device, he could feel a little more relaxed for a while.
As for why he came to Tony instead of asking SHIELD for help, is there any need to ask
No thief would come to your house after stealing something. Although that black-salted egg is not a good person either, he might try to rob you.
Although Tony's personality is a bit 'annoying' and his words are a bit sharp, he is at least a trustworthy guy. Maybe he will need his help in making weapons.
What's more important is that for Dio, Tony owed him such a huge sum of money, so he didn't feel embarrassed to use him for favors. That was only natural. At most, he could charge Tony less interest in the final settlement!
"What on earth is this thing? It looks like some kind of liquid metal?"
Tony asked with some curiosity at this time. The thing that Dio could get so mysteriously and carefully could not be an ordinary stuff.
"Have you ever heard of Adamantium?"
Dio didn't hide it from him, because he would know it sooner or later anyway.
Tony suddenly became interested and asked in surprise: "Adamantium? I've heard a little about it. It's said to be the top secret of the US military. I once tried to get some to study but failed. Could it be that this 'cement'-like thing is..."
"This is liquid adamantium. This state must be maintained above 1500 degrees Fahrenheit. Once it drops below this temperature, it will quickly cool and condense into a solid. The solid adamantium is almost indestructible and cannot be transformed a second time..." Because he wanted Tony to help him make weapons in the future, Dio directly told Tony some of the properties of adamantium that he knew, wanting Tony to have an idea first.
"Jarvis, analyze this thing... So where did you steal it in the middle of the night? You even packed up the 'sink' it was placed in and brought it back." Tony asked Jarvis to start analyzing the liquid adamantium while looking at Dio with a very strange look. Anyone could see that this thing was not obtained in a legitimate way.
"Ahem, can that be called stealing when it comes to civilized people? I just happened to pass by and found that no one was inside, so I picked up some unwanted 'junk'." Dio shamelessly embellished his behavior, but it still couldn't hide the fact that the stuff came from an illegal source.
"What about the formula? Didn't you pick it up with them?" Tony asked half sarcastically and half concernedly.
"If I could find the formula, why would I bother packing this up?" Dio almost rolled his eyes.
At this time, Jarvis's scanning and analysis results came out, and all kinds of data were directly presented on the desktop in three-dimensional form. However, Dio, who had some talent in medicine, felt like he was reading a book of heaven. He could not understand the molecules and atoms of various elements at all!
It also confirmed his title of physics idiot that Tony had just mocked him for.
On the contrary, Tony was very excited. He pulled it over, pushed it away, picked up something and threw it back, frowning.
It seemed that because there were 'unrelated outsiders' around, he didn't get too caught up in it. He quickly removed the 3D modeling, looked at Dio and said, "According to the old rules, should we split the 'picked up' things in half when we meet?"
Anyone could see that Tony was attracted by this precious metal, especially since he felt that if he could replicate it, it would be of great help in his research on the Destroyer armor.
But Dio almost gave his whole family the middle finger. Split it in half when they meet? Who is the black-hearted businessman
Perhaps because he was a little scared by Dio's gaze, Tony immediately coughed twice and explained, "You spent so much effort to get adamantium, there must be some use for it. As it happens, the person in front of you is the most talented scientist in the world. I can help you do anything you want with this thing. If there is any left, just give it to me. How about it?"
Is this even human language
Dio felt much better. This was exactly what he had in mind, and he only wanted a knife, and he didn't need the liquid adamantium in the sink. It was not impossible to give some of the rest to Tony. It was a dream to expect the horse to run without eating grass. Even if he threatened Tony with the medical expenses from last time, there was no guarantee that Tony would cut corners or do a perfunctory job.
So after thinking about it, he came up with a plan like this.
"I am going to make the best sword, so I need a lot of precious metals. In my imagination, adamantium is just one of the materials. Next, I will look for some other rare materials. If you can help me complete it, I can give you half of all the remaining rare metals. If there is nothing left, I can give you all of them, but the prerequisite is that I am satisfied with the weapon you make."
"Although this matter doesn't seem to have much technical content, it's settled."
Tony, who had guessed this long ago, seemed confident. Although the field of cold weapons was not his strong point, it was not difficult for him either!
who is he
He is the genius Tony Stark!
It’s just a piece of cake to make a knife!
