18. Tony's Preparation

"They're beautiful, aren't they?"

In the hall of the mansion in this unknown place, there is still a trace of the smell of blood, or the smell of death may be more appropriate, after all, the corpses and blood stains on the ground have been cleaned up.

Mandarin stood beside Tony, pointing to the puppet maid who was kneeling on the ground wiping the floor, he said:

"In the eyes of most men, they symbolize perfection, lust and reproduction. A group of people dominated by desire is really sad."

"But if your ambition is high enough, you will not be fascinated by these things that fascinate ordinary people. It is nothing more than the body of talent. The soul is the same. In my eyes, there is no difference between people, but some people are better, like you and me."

Mandarin is like chatting with a friend, he said to Tony:

"The two of us are really similar. We were born to stand at the end that others can't reach in their lifetime struggles, but we are not dazzled by those wealth. We are both longing for something more important than wealth...Of course, You fall in love with technology, and I chose another path by chance."

"Because we are so similar, we can be friends."

Mandarin glanced at Tony's expression. This guy was still staring at the ground that had been cleaned. This ignoring attitude made Mandarin a little dissatisfied, and he emphasized his tone.

"Well, it seems that you don't want to talk about ideals with me? It's okay, let's go back to reality."

"Miss Potts, is a smart lady. Although she is not perfect, she has a characteristic that cannot be ignored. She is a woman you love, so happy...Tony, you hope Potts Is the lady obedient to you? Do you want her to be the perfect lover? Do you want her to have no more secrets from you? I can help you..."

"enough!"

Tony turned his head suddenly, he looked at Mandarin, and he said:

"Don't threaten like a punk, let's be more respectable. I know what terrible consequences I will bring to Potts if I refuse you...I know."

"So? Will you reject me?"

Mandarin asked:

"Maybe you should say no to cut off your greatest weakness, Tony, let me tell you, no matter in what era or in what world, the people who need the least will always be the happiest people, because they are very happy. Few weaknesses...just like me."

"I said, enough!"

Tony took a step back, gritted his teeth and said:

"Has anyone ever told you that your persuasion skills are terrible! I don't want to hear the hell anymore, I'll help you."

A cold light flashed in Mandarin's eyes, but after hearing Tony's answer, his expression became gentle and refined again. He clapped his hands appreciatively, and the light of the nine rings flashed back and forth, making people dazzled .

"That's wise."

While talking, Mandarin waved to his subordinates, he said:

"I already have the wisest person in the world as my friend, and Sir Tony's talent in weapon design is no less than this irritable dwarf. He is useless, let's deal with it."

"No!"

Tony grabbed Mandalin's hand. This action disgusted Mandalin. As soon as he waved his hand, Tony flew out as if being hit by an invisible fist, and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

"Oh, sorry, I don't like people touching me."

Mandarin said sorry, but there was no apology on his face, but Tony didn't care. He stood up rubbing his sore shoulders and said to Mandarin:

"I need Torbjörn, and you need him too... With all due respect, your idea of ​​capturing the Omnic Center is great, but you underestimated the difficulty of capturing it. Without Torbjörn's assistance, me and the others Can't handle it at all."

"oh?"

Mandarin raised his hand with great interest, and those thugs who were about to kill Torbjörn immediately put away their weapons, but the short old engineer was still firmly pressed to the ground.

"Go ahead and point out the loopholes in my plan."

The tyrant of the Ten Rings said to Tony:

"If you can convince me, then perhaps this loathsome dwarf will see his daughter again."

"The omnibus exists to cover up some things that you obviously don't know about."

Tony glanced at Torbjörn, gritted his teeth, and told the information that S.H.I.E.L.D. was not allowed to leak at all. He said:

"Omnics were not created by humans, they originated from mysterious alien technology..."

"Wow, that's amazing news."

Mandarin narrowed his eyes. He actually didn't doubt what Tony said, because a person who is sensible enough and who knows enough about the omnic project can always perceive the rapid development of artificial intelligence in recent years. The weirdness of industries and omnic projects...they are growing a little too fast, so fast that they are already challenging the laws of scientific development in the past.

"Alien technology?"

Mandarin touched his beard, he said softly:

"I guess, a Cybertronian?"

"You know this too? That's great, and saves me the time to explain."

Tony breathed a sigh of relief, and he said to Mandarin:

"As I said just now, the existence of the omnic center is to allow humans to accept the existence of omnics, to make people believe that it was created by humans. In short, you may not care about these political matters, but then I will If you want to say it, you will definitely be very concerned.”

"The artificial intelligence supporting the omnic center, we call it the 'builder', is responsible for controlling the operation of the entire smart tower, including the production of omnics, including the brainwashing of naturally born omnics, etc. You want to capture the omnic center , you have to deal with the builder first, but the builder’s program database is directly connected to the large database of S.H.I.E.L.D., any disturbance will directly alarm S.H.I.E.L.D.

After Tony finished speaking, Mandarin nodded in agreement:

"Well, it does sound like a hassle, but I'm sure you'll help me out with it, right?"

"I..."

Tony really felt like cursing at this moment, but considering Potts and Happy, he finally nodded:

"Yes, I will help you. I also participated in the design of the builder's thinking module. I still have relatively high authority. I can temporarily close it to give others time to rewrite it. .”

"so what?"

Mandarin asked with great interest:

"If you can handle everything, why should I leave a hidden danger of refusing to cooperate?"

"Because things are not as simple as you think!"

Tony gritted his teeth and said:

"I have to enter the control room of the smart tower to execute the shutdown command, and the worst thing is that once the builder shuts down, the energy center of the smart tower will be locked. I can help you rewrite the builder's thinking module, but I can't There is no way to help you restart the energy center. A smart tower with locked energy is meaningless to you, it is just a big iron block weighing millions of tons."

"Why?"

Mandarin asked, Tony finally found a chance to ridicule him, he said sarcastically:

"Because I don't have enough authority, genius..."

"Do you think S.H.I.E.L.D. will give me the highest authority for an outsider with such a big plan? My authority is only enough to shut down the smart tower for 10 minutes for routine inspection and maintenance, but restart the smart tower's energy center , another person has to come, as far as I know, even in S.H.I.E.L.D. and the World Security Council, there are only three people who have the authority to restart."

"I think you should have guessed who they are."

After Tony finished speaking, Mandarin's face darkened.

Of course he can guess who those 3 people are... Nick Fury, director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Alexander Pierce, director of the World Security Council, and the last, most difficult deputy director... Merlin Riley!

"So if you want a smart tower that will help you create a steady stream of all kinds of war omnics, and also help you control all the omnics that exist in the Eichenwalde region, you want your... er , 'War Temple', if you are not willing to 'cooperate' with S.H.I.E.L.D., then you have to solve the problem of backup energy first."

Tony spread his hands, like a seasoned persuader, he said with a smooth tongue:

"Fortunately, I have a method that can temporarily replace the energy center of the smart tower. There is something called the Ark Energy Reactor. There is already a prototype of that thing. It is in the factory of Stark Industries. You can search it on the Internet. can be found."

"But unfortunately, that thing is at least as big as a house, and it is not movable. I need to miniaturize it. I can complete it by myself, but it takes time, and what you are most lacking now is time. God The SHIELD must have been looking for us all over the world, if it takes too long..."

Tony didn't continue talking, Mandarin already understood what Tony meant.

This guy needs Torbion to help him miniaturize the so-called Ark energy reactor, and logically speaking, his request seems to be no problem.

But Mandarin doesn't think so.

He looked at Tony, he looked at those eyes that seemed frank and surrendered, he could still feel that one of the smartest guys in the world in front of him still had a rebellious aura.

He doesn't like that kind of temperament, and he doesn't like it now, being taken away by others, he hopes to control everything, and Tony, this guy is undoubtedly the most important part of the Mandalin's conquest plan, But it is also the most unstable link.

Therefore, after thinking for a while, Mandarin decided to add another insurance to Tony.

"Crack, crack, crack"

Mandarin clapped his hands with a smile on his face, as if applauding Tony's perfect plan. He stepped off the chair and waved his hands, and the thugs released the suppressed Torbjörn.

He walked up to Tony, put his hands behind his back, and said to Tony:

"Your wisdom is really amazing. I would like to admit that you are the smartest person in the world. I even think you are the smartest one. Just do it this way, just do it according to your ideas, but I only give you 2 days time..."

"Gritting your teeth and working overtime, and the materials are ready, 2 days is enough. I will hand over the material list to you. Your cruel subordinates should purchase things as quickly as they kill people."

Tony shrugged, he smiled at Mandarin, then waved to Torbjorn, he said:

"Come on, shorty, it's time for us to work."

Torbion moved his shoulders, then turned around suddenly, and punched a thug in the crotch. The guy who hit him fell to the ground immediately, but the short engineer didn't care about the guns above his head at all. He sneered and said:

"Come on, shoot me...you heard him too, you bastards!"

The atmosphere in the hall became stagnant again. In this silence, Mandarin suddenly waved his hand, and he said very generously:

"Okay, be polite and let our distinguished guests leave."

"Thank you."

Tony and Torbion, one tall and one short, walked toward the entrance of the hall with a pace that they did not recognize. Just after they walked a few steps, the voice of Mandarin suddenly sounded behind Tony.

"Oh, by the way, Tony, it just occurred to me...we're already friends, but we haven't exchanged gifts yet."

"puff"

While the blood was splattering, Mandarin's right hand pierced Tony's back, catching Tony's beating heart.

But it doesn't hurt...

The cyan energy wrapped around Tony's heart, making the heart seem to be covered with a cyan shell.

"swish"

Mandarin's hand was retracted, and there was not a trace of blood on his fingers, and Tony's pierced skin recovered quickly, however, Tony's face was extremely pale at this moment.

"With this power, you and I will become true friends."

Mandarin said softly:

"Your heart will beat forever as long as I am, you will share with me this power from the Holy Land, it will keep you young forever, but if you betray...it will be silent, like this ..."

"Snapped"

The Mandarin snapped his fingers, and Tony collapsed on the ground in pain. He was breathing heavily, but his heart that had stopped beating was unable to support his life.

"Snapped"

There was another snap of fingers, and Tony's heart began to beat again, but the near-death experience made the playboy feel like he had seen the most terrifying nightmare.

"I forgive you for taunting me just now, Tony. Because now, we're friends."

The Mandarin let out a low laugh, and amidst his laughter, he turned and left the hall surrounded by his followers, leaving Tony and Torbjörn there as if they had been thrown into a grave.

"We're done, aren't we?"

The short old engineer pulled Tony up from the ground with difficulty, and he said to Tony in despair:

"Even if we help him capture the Smart Tower, we'll be killed, right?"

"right."

Tony rubbed his heart, he lowered his head, as if frightened by the power of the mandarin, as if his bones were completely broken by the incoming darkness, as if he could no longer resist.

He said softly:

"So hurry up, Toby, we have no time to waste."

"Must miniaturize the Ark Energy Reactor...we have to do it, believe me we have to do it..."
