Chapter 1324 Interstellar Stage (31)

Stark stood outside the shuttle boarding center for two minutes. When he turned around and looked at the New York skyline, he realized that this universe might be a high-tech universe in the future. 歍

Stark took two steps back and looked at the year, month and day displayed on the electronic light screen in the center of the shuttle boarding center. It was even earlier than the year he came.

He guessed that this might be because the human history of this earth was different. At this time, Stark's mind was full of scripts such as the war of earth unification and the evil robots occupying the earth.

But Stark felt a little confused again. He was different from Xu Shangqi. Ordinary college students would only understand this as the development of human technology. But as a top scientist, Stark understood that if there was no qualitative breakthrough in human materials science, it would be impossible to build such an aircraft. But if there was a qualitative breakthrough, why did the houses where he fell still use ordinary reinforced concrete structures?

Even if the development of mechanics and architecture was unbalanced, the cars on the road should have changed, instead of looking exactly the same as Stark's universe. If there was a material that could build so many aerial vehicles, why had traditional road vehicles not been eliminated? Why are there still trucks and vans running on the road?

Stark suppressed many questions in his mind. He came here for a purpose. He must complete the most important goal first, and then think about these problems.

Iron Man, who has experienced many things, deeply understands how terrible it is to be distracted during the execution of the plan. His ideas are very clear, but this firm idea only lasts until he gets on the shuttle.

There are several models of shuttles now. One of them is more similar to ordinary buses. It has a fixed route, a large interior space, about two floors, and can accommodate many people. The price of riding is also very cheap, and it also provides buyout packages for a certain route or a certain period of time. 歍

Currently, the routes have covered almost the entire New York area, which is much more than bus routes and subway lines, so most ordinary people will choose this shuttle, which is economical, affordable and convenient.

There is also a small shuttle, similar to a taxi on the road. You can specify your own destination, but because it is an intelligent route calculation, you may need to wait to prevent route conflicts, and the price is expensive. In order to prevent the underground road from being abandoned, this type of shuttle deliberately raises the price to protect the business of traditional taxi drivers. Generally, only office workers with urgent matters and the middle class who are not short of money will choose this shuttle.

The most high-end is the dedicated shuttle. This shuttle is not open to the public. It is only provided to the police, the military, agents and emergency medical personnel. The route priority is the highest, which is convenient for these public officials to go to the front line of the accident.

This shuttle can be said to be the shuttle with the highest technological content so far. It is not only fast and stable in flight, but also equipped with warning firefighting and medical equipment. It can hover in the air as an aerial platform for various equipment, and can also land and unfold to become a bunker and energy supply station for fighting.

And there is an intelligent terminal in each shuttle ride center. You only need to enter your destination, and strong artificial intelligence will calculate the most suitable way of passing, and it also supports combined rides.

For example, in the first half, you can take a bus-style shuttle that is not congested. After arriving at a certain station, the route to the destination of the taxi-style shuttle is idle, and you can get on the bus directly without waiting. In this way, the computer will calculate the most time-saving way. Passengers only need to click to receive a smart card and follow the navigation voice.

In fact, so far, there has been no traffic jam on the New York air transportation line. The main reason is that three-dimensional transportation mainly depends on the technological content of the transportation tool. As long as it can fly high enough, every two meters higher will have an extra layer of passable space, and thousands of more routes can be expanded. 歍

Because it is still in the testing stage, the flight altitude of the shuttle is locked, but it is conceivable that once it becomes a mainstream transportation tool in the future, under the blue sky of 30,000 feet, there will be enough space for all residents of megacities to avoid traffic jams.

Standing in front of the intelligent route calculation center of the ride center, Stark also anticipated this situation. He stretched out a hand and pressed the only button on the screen. A smiley face appeared, the loading pattern jumped for a few seconds, and a thin small card protruded from the window of the terminal machine.

Stark was a little confused when he took the card, but then he found an arrow in front of his feet. At the same time, the card vibrated slightly, and a voice sounded: "Welcome to listen to the Arkham Sanatorium Shuttle Center audio guide. You can open the metal pin on the back of the card and fix it near your ear."

Stark was a little at a loss with the card. He looked around and found that people around him handled the card in two ways.

The elites wearing suits and ties often pinned the cards on their collars or tie knots, while the rebellious young people wearing sportswear or sweatshirts directly hung the cards on their ears.

Stark hesitated for a moment, but still pinned the card on the collar of his suit, and then followed the arrow that lit up in front of his feet and came to the platform for the small shuttle.

A few seconds later, the shuttle dedicated to the Stark Group came in front of him. Stark was stunned for a moment. He looked down at the card on his chest and speculated that the terminal just now might have a face recognition system. 歍

Stark tightened his shirt and jacket on the spot, coughed twice, adjusted his facial expression, and walked into the shuttle.

His obsession with the goal was gradually dispersed when he sat in the shuttle and looked at the scenery outside the window. The two sides of the small shuttle were spacious and bright glass, so Stark could fully see the night view of New York.

Manhattan, which stays up all night and is brightly lit, can be said to be a cliché, but what surprised Stark was that the nightlife in the suburbs or the less developed Bronx was much richer than that in his universe.

In addition, there were construction sites that were almost everywhere. Stark almost lay on the window of the shuttle, but he couldn't see what was being built.

As an early developed area, New York has almost no room for construction, but those strange rumbling machines seem to be determined to dig out something new in this area where celebrities and wealthy people have been lingering for a long time.

Curiosity in his heart began to be greater than obsession. Every scientist must have had a stable, wealthy and developed scientific research environment in his dream. Just when Stark was still distracted by this, "beep" twice, the arrival reminder sounded.

Stark was a little surprised and stunned for a moment. He looked up at the watch and found that the time had not passed for five minutes. This was from the suburbs of New York to the city center. Wasn't it a bit too fast? 歍

Although he was surprised, Stark still pretended to be as steady as a mountain. He strode out of the shuttle, and then found himself on the roof of the Stark Building, but not completely on the roof.

Before, during the Stark Building Science and Technology Expo, Stark added several more floors on the upper floor of his house. It was an aerial platform similar to an aerospace mothership, which is still suspended above the building.

The science and technology expo, which was originally held for a limited time, has now become a science and technology museum that charges admission. Many people come here to visit during holidays, but if Stark wants to go down, he still needs to take a special elevator.

Stark looked around and found that he didn't know the way, but he didn't dare to show it. At this moment, a gentle voice sounded: "Welcome back, Mr. Stark, are you lost again? Please go to the right, the safety elevator indicator light is on."

Hearing the familiar voice, Stark breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Jarvis, I'm glad to have you."

Then, he realized that this was not his smart butler, but Stark of this universe, which made Stark feel awkward, but when he thought that they were all Tony Stark, Stark was relieved.

He thought, at worst, he could leave some research results here as compensation. Stark was confident that even in the future, his mind would still be the most valuable asset. 歍

Following Jarvis's guidance, Stark finally returned to the laboratory he was somewhat familiar with. Looking at the familiar layout of the experimental table, Stark breathed a sigh of relief. He finally had a place to replenish supplies.

Stark almost couldn't wait to sit back in the chair where he usually thought about various problems. The familiar touch made him sigh for a long time. When the tense nerves finally relaxed, countless sad memories came to his mind again.

In the smoke-filled and chaotic battlefield, the shining luster of the Infinity Stones was like a colorful nightmare.

Stark watched the body of the young man in the red and blue uniform gradually turn into ashes. The extreme sadness and anger, now recalling it, still made Stark feel difficult to breathe.

But then, the change happened too suddenly. Many black flames enveloped Peter Parker's body and pulled him out of Iron Man's arms. A huge demon phantom descended on the battlefield and rolled Spider-Man away from the battlefield with that black flame.

He is still alive!

This is Stark's only thought. He didn't think about where the demon phantom came from, nor how Peter could have such power. There was only one sentence left in his heart that kept echoing-his child is still alive, and he must find him!歍

Stark couldn't control his actions at all. He knew that the war was far from over and it was not time to leave, but he was desperate to pursue Peter Parker's glimmer of hope.

What if the demon took him away to kill him? What if he didn't save him and he died in the end?

This worry kept echoing in Stark's mind, making it almost impossible for him to think, so he used the technology of the Stark Group to start looking for traces of the power of the black flame around the world.

But Stark didn't know much about the power of the magic side, and the Supreme Sorcerer Strange also died in this war, so Stark could only contact the New York Temple.

But the New York Temple suffered heavy casualties in this war and was unable to help others. The wizards could only help Stark contact the Hong Kong Temple.

Just when Stark went to the East to track down clues, the Ten Rings wanted to take advantage of the chaos to seize the Hong Kong Temple. Stark had heard of this organization, but he had never confronted it head-on because it was not the main enemy of the Avengers.

At that time, Stark had almost completely lost his mind. Anyone who showed malice to him would be regarded as the murderer who kidnapped Spider-Man. He felt that the Ten Rings attacked here when he needed the help of the Hong Kong Temple, which must be related to the mastermind behind the scenes. 歍

So, he controlled the battle suit and came to the base of the Ten Rings to bombard it. Those minions knew they were no match for him, so they invited the Mandarin, who controlled the Ten Rings and Iron Man to fight in the Hong Kong Temple.

The irrational Iron Man exerted all his potential, and the Ten Rings could not do anything to him. The Mandarin, who was beaten and headshot, was enraged. The Ten Rings united their power and attacked Stark.

This force failed to hit Iron Man, but it hit the energy storage center of the Earth's magic defense network. In a big explosion, Stark only felt a huge force engulfing him, and then there was a dizzy feeling.

Countless stars flashed before his eyes, and in the chaotic and confused picture, Stark saw one spider silk after another, connecting one light spot after another, and a huge spider web connected the entire multiverse.

It is not so easy for any existence to pass through the multiverse, including the powerful demon Mephisto.

Mephisto was hired by the Sanctum Sanctorum to go on an errand, so he simply borrowed Spider-Man's passage to travel through the multiverse from the spider silk, that is, the multiverse portal opened by the Spider Totem and the Weaving Master, and went to the universe where the distress signal was sent to rescue people.

By chance, Iron Man mistakenly entered the multiverse channel left by the Spider Totem in an explosion, and then followed the route that Mephisto took Peter away and came to this universe.歍

But it is not so simple to cross the universe in the flesh. Spider-Man can travel through the multiverse effortlessly because they are the spokespersons of the Spider Totem and are very adaptable to this power.

But the Spider Totem cannot adapt to strange existences at all. Mephisto can withstand the rejection reaction because he is a powerful demon god, and his life form is different from carbon-based creatures, but Stark can't.

He has just experienced two battles, and his suit is almost damaged. The endless darkness keeps consuming his spirit. In the long night, countless chaotic and strange whispers sounded in his ears.

But no difficulty in this world can stop a father who is determined to save his child. The more painful it is, the stronger the obsession.

Leaning on the chair, Stark slowly closed his eyes. No matter how long the journey is or how dangerous the destination is, he must find the taken Spider-Man, his child Peter Parker.
