Even Superman doesn't maintain his superhero identity every day; he has his own life, just like Clark Kent.
Upon hearing these words, Tony Stark cast a deep gaze at Xu Fu, who was standing in front of him; he didn't think for long and muttered to himself, "That's good, at least the upcoming battle won't be too boring."
"Beep beep, sensor system activated!"
With these words, "Tony Stark" spread his arms, pressed a button on his headset, and shouted, "Let's begin!"
When the name "Tony Stark" was uttered, everyone in the base instinctively held their breath.
Even Jessica, who had been indifferent all along, couldn't help but pour herself a drink, but under everyone's gaze, the scene before them was surprisingly quiet.
"..."
"So this is Tony Stark's card?"
Standing in front of the control panel, Nick Fury stared at the motionless "Tony Stark" on the screen and couldn't help but question Howard, who was standing next to him.
He now doubts whether his previous concerns were justified.
"No."
Howard shook his head, a faint blue light flashing in his eyes, before his mechanical eyes quickly switched to the screen of another laboratory monitor.
Clang, clang, clang.
On the monitor, several flamethrowers were indeed still banging on the door.
“That’s the bottom of his deck.”
Then, with a hoarse voice, Howard used his power to open the tightly closed laboratory door, and immediately the instruments could be seen rushing out of the laboratory.
...
"..."
Inside the training facility, Tony Stark stood silently for a few seconds, waiting in place.
A familiar sense of heaviness welled up inside him, and he couldn't help but open his eyes, scan the empty surroundings, and ask in a low voice.
"What happened?"
"The sensor system is activated, and some of the responses are..."
Artificial intelligence responded to Tony Stark's question in a voice through the earpiece.
Jarvis is an intelligent system created by Tony Stark based on Maria, an artificial intelligence created by his father Howard. Its prototype was the butler who took care of him.
However, compared to Maria, whose various procedures are very sophisticated, Jarvis's processing system is still quite naive or sloppy, and can only perform simple tasks with "Tony Stark".
Of course, even so, this is still a considerable achievement.
After all, less than a month had passed between "...Tony Stark" waking up and creating Jarvis, which was a tragedy for someone who didn't have much internet experience in the past.
Unfortunately, Jarvis's debut doesn't seem to be as successful as expected.
"Of course, I know the sensor system is plugged in, and I want to know why Mark 1 didn't appear as scheduled."
Feeling more and more eyes on him, even the initially confident Tony Stark couldn't help but feel uneasy.
He deliberately got Doreen Green to bring up Xu Fu, but he didn't expect this outcome.
"Sensor systems are wired, and part of the answer is..."
When asked by Tony Stark, Jarvis simply repeated his previous answer.
"Perhaps it's not just the Mark 1, you need to be reinvented, Jarvis."
After hearing the AI's response, Tony Stark sighed silently, looked at Xu Fu standing in front of him, forced an awkward smile, and said, "I'm sorry, Xu Fu, an unforeseen situation has arisen. It seems this experiment..."
"Do not."
However, before Tony Stark could finish speaking, Xu Fu, who was standing in front of him, interrupted him.
As he spoke, Xu Fu's gaze passed over Tony Stark standing in front of him and landed on the buzzing armor components around the base.
"They're already here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tony Stark showed a surprised expression, and the gold-painted armor details quickly flew to the center of the training area.
"What?"!
At first, Tony Stark looked confused for a moment when he heard Xu Fu's words.
But he quickly understood what his opponent meant, because with a whooshing sound of mech parts, a heavy force slammed into his shoulder.
Chapter 812 Buffer Program
Due to the impact of the mech, Tony Stark was unable to maintain his footing and staggered slightly.
"I must develop a buffer program for this."
Tony Stark, gritting his teeth and straightening his legs, muttered under his breath, shifting his shoulders in pain beneath his armor.
The Mark 1 took off with more force than he had anticipated.
...
"what is that!"
Inside the training field, the pilot glanced at the armored components whizzing past, tilting his head to the side. Beside him, Jessica instinctively and excitedly crushed the bottle in her hand, waiting for his reaction, then looked at the drinks scattered on the ground, a look of frustration on her face.
"Did you know all this before, Peter?"
Tony Stark stood in the center of the training field, constantly being hit by flying pieces of armor.
Although Doreen Green could see that Tony Stark's expression was somewhat somber, to Peter, it was more of an exciting question.
On Doreen Green's shoulder, the squirrel-skinned monkey even squealed with delight as it looked at the dazzling details on the armor, biting into the large hole in the nut in its hand and sticking its paw inside, mimicking "230 Tony Stark" in his armor.
"I also know a little about how Tony Stark created the armor; that was the first time I saw what it actually looked like."
This is not just about being a monkey: Peter's eyes have never left himself since the first piece of armor appeared.
He knew Mr. Tony Stark was a genius, but the full Iron Man suit was still a bit beyond his expectations.
"I admit it..."
Standing in front of the control panel, looking at Tony Stark, who was covered in steel armor from head to toe except for his head, Nick Fury couldn't help but take a deep breath and say.
"He is the one who was once underestimated."
He didn't expect "Tony Stark" to be able to make a difference in something like this.
“I told you before, Tony won’t let me down. He’s a genius who’s smarter than me. I’ve known that for a long time.”
In response to Nick Fury's exclamation, Howard replied in a hoarse voice.
Upon hearing this, Nick Fury couldn't help but glance at Howard beside him. Under the blindfold, Howard's only eye gleamed with a thoughtful light.
So, can Dr. Pym's brainwave modeling device really capture and model Tony Stark's genius, or is it due to Juan Tok's (Thor's) physical condition?
Neither Howard nor Dr. Pym truly had a 100% understanding of biochemical experiments.
In particular, Juan Tocchi (Thunderbird), the world's first robot, clearly has many unsolved mysteries.
...
boom! boom! boom
With a final metallic clang, the last part of the Mark I helmet, the helmet itself, was precisely placed over Tony Stark's head.
Shaking his buzzing head, feeling a heavy and intense sensation throughout his body, Tony Stark took a deep breath, revealing the Mark 1 mechanical hand encasing Xu Fu, and said in a deep voice, "Alright, let's begin."
Inside the Mark 1 package, his confidence seemed to have risen several notches.
"So this is the original prototype of the Mark series?"
Standing in front of the Mark 1, Xu Fu looked at Tony Stark in his steel armor and muttered to himself.
Contrary to popular belief, the Mark I did not look as rough as the makeshift cave depicted in the movie, nor as sleek and lightweight as the later Mark II.
The overall shape of the armor gives a heavy impression, including the helmet covering Tony Stark's head, which is quite thick. However, in some details, especially the energy device on the chest and the concussion cannons on the palms, you can still see that the design of this armor has more or less borrowed from Howard's modifications and weapon systems.
Of course, unlike Howard, "Tony Stark" occupies a more prominent position in the overall image of the mecha. The entire mecha adopts a gold color scheme, and its presence cannot be ignored.
Xu Fu did not comment on Tony Stark's taste in color.
As he pondered, his hands moved just as slowly.
"In that case, get ready, Tony."
With these words spoken, and accompanied by Tony Stark's tense gaze, Xu Fu slowly flew into the sky.
"It's there!"
Tony Stark, despite his arrogance, was well aware of the difference between himself and Xu Fu.
Therefore, even with the protection of the Mark 1, he remained 200% vigilant about the upcoming battle.
"Jarvis, point me to the target."
He took a deep breath, clenched his fist, and issued a command to the artificial intelligence connected to his helmet.
"Understood, target locked!"
Immediately afterwards, Xu Fu's figure appeared on the helmet interface, marked by a red outline.
