Chapter 1882: The Madman's Journey (Sixty)

Chapter 1856 The Journey of a Madman (Sixty)

Just after solving Eric's trouble, another trouble came. Because Pepper was angry, Stark didn't dare to provoke her. After he initially completed the first generation of battle armor, he drove back to his residence to get some clothes.

He just opened the door of his villa and turned around to see a man in a sweater standing at the mailbox at the door. He looked like a neighbor passing by.

Stark glanced at him and then retracted his gaze, but he didn't expect the man to take the initiative to step forward, put his hand on the open door of the villa and said: "Mr. Stark, wait, can you give me two minutes?"

"You are not an insurance salesman, are you?" Stark took off his sunglasses, looked up and down at the man opposite and said: "You should know who I am? No matter what garbage you want to sell, I will not buy it."

"We have met before, Mr. Stark." The man smiled and said.

Stark thought he was an opportunistic investor at a banquet who wanted to come to him to solicit investment. He seemed a little impatient and wanted to close the door, but suddenly he heard the person on the other side say: "In the base in Afghanistan, I am standing behind the crowd. How are you doing recently?"

"Are you an agent of SHIELD?" Stark immediately became nervous and stared at the man's face tightly.

The man nodded generously, took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Stark, saying: "Hello, Mr. Stark, Phil Coulson, Level 7 Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D."

In order not to appear too vigilant, Stark also put one arm on the door, took out his previous style, took the business card and looked at it, stuffed it into his pocket, and then said: "I have been waiting for you for a long time. After all, flying to Afghanistan is not cheap. Send the bill directly to my company. I have something else to do, so I will leave first."

After that, he turned around and left. As expected, Coulson stopped him. Stark paused for a moment, but still opened the door, invited Coulson in and said: "If you hadn't saved me, I wouldn't receive agents. You are all a bunch of guys who are looking for trouble. . "

"I hope you can change your opinion after contacting SHIELD." Coulson was not angry at all. He smiled and said, "I was just asked by the director to confirm your recovery from the injury."

"I'm not hurt." Stark shrugged and said, "I'm fine, but I'm curious, how are you dealing with Hydra?"

Colson's eyes flashed and said, "In fact... it's not going well. After catching Hydra's flaws in Afghanistan, the director immediately launched a strike against a group of Hydra organizations in Eastern Europe. Unfortunately, they are too cunning and we are short of manpower."

Hearing the words "short of manpower", Stark's mind suddenly lit up, and he remembered the unmanned robot he made in the cave in Afghanistan.

Stark was not an experienced hunter yet, but he knew that traps needed bait. He coughed twice and said, "That's a pity. Is there anything I can do to help?"

Stark deliberately spoke in a slightly impatient and polite tone, which basically meant that he didn't want to return your favor at all. He was a heartless and ungrateful person.

Sure enough, Coulson felt a little embarrassed. Seeing his expression, Stark knew that SHIELD really needed him. He rolled his eyes and changed the subject, saying, "That group of Hydra dared to kidnap me. I must show them some strength. You said you have combat operations against them in Eastern Europe. Can I go and see?"

Colson looked at Stark in shock. He said, "It's the front line now. The agents are fighting fiercely..."

"I haven't seen agents fighting. Even if you want weapons, you have to show me how you fight Hydra, right?"

Stark tried to show his businessman style and said, "Don't you just want the arms of the Stark Group? Let's not beat around the bush. If you help me get revenge, I will give you weapons. It's that simple."

Colson was slightly relieved and rubbed his wrists nervously and said, "Then I won't hide it from you. The front line is indeed a bit tight, and the agents need to fight. The weapons we need are different from those of the army. We may need some miniaturized but more lethal weapons..."

"That's right." Stark said as if he just remembered, "How about the Hydra who almost killed me before? Is the jury ready? I think the legal team of Stark Group must come forward. He almost broke my neck!"

"Uh..." Coulson seemed a little embarrassed again, but he still said, "The Hydra has important information about the Eastern European Hydra organization. We are still interrogating him."

"Are you mistaken? You haven't put him in jail yet? !" Stark was very dissatisfied. He raised his voice and said, "Is this the working attitude of SHIELD? !"

After that, he put his hands on his waist, pointed to the door angrily and said, "I tell you, don't think you can order me because you saved me. Do you know how much tax I pay to the federal government every year? ! This is what you should do!"

"Go back and tell your boss that I will see him standing in court within three days, otherwise I will not help you at all! Get out of my sight immediately!"

After Coulson left, Stark breathed a sigh of relief. He believed that Pierce would agree to his conditions, because if Pierce was really Hydra, even if Schiller went to prison, he would have a way to get him out.

But standing in court for trial always has to go through a process, whether it is collecting evidence, opening a trial, or jury discussion, it takes a month at the shortest and half a year at the longest, at least it can buy Schiller some time.

But this is still a difficult task for Stark, because he must bring down Pierce within this period of time, otherwise Schiller will still fall into his hands.

After Stark took his clothes and returned to Stark Tower, he found Eric waiting for him at the door of the laboratory.

For some reason, Stark now has a headache when he sees Eric, and has a faint fear. He is not afraid of Eric as a person, but as soon as he sees Eric, he knows that there must be trouble again.

Stark has always been a relatively simple scientist. He is afraid of trouble, especially trouble in worldly matters.

He has experienced so many similar troubles recently that every interruption consumes his remaining patience and makes him take a big step towards worsening anxiety.

Eric walked forward happily, patted Stark's arm and said, "You are finally back. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

He said this to make Stark feel guilty, but Stark was now suffering from an anxiety attack and just wanted to hide, so he held Eric's shoulder to stop him from following him into the laboratory, and said, "Eric, I have a very urgent project that must be completed tonight. Can you come back tomorrow?"

Eric did not find that Stark was wrong. He just stopped Stark's shoulder, walked into the laboratory, and said, "My good man, I think you should listen to my ideas now. I didn't have time to tell you before that I don't care about the position of Stark Group. That's not the job I like to do."

As he said that, Eric took out a roll of drawings from the inner pocket of his jacket and spread it on the surface of Stark's laboratory table. Stark glanced at it and found that it seemed to be a drawing of some kind of robot.

"This is the robot I designed. I drew it in my spare time after leaving Wakanda."

Eric deliberately made a sad expression, as if to imply that there was something else going on, but his expression was completely in vain, because Stark's attention was now focused on the drawings on the table.

Stark glanced at the specific design and then stopped looking at it, because in his opinion it was completely outdated, not even as good as the Iron Wall No. 1 he made in the cave.

Moreover, the previous experience in Afghanistan had completely made him reject the security role of unmanned robots, otherwise he would not have rushed to make war suits here. What Stark noticed was the special paper used in this design.

Stark didn't know whether Eric knew that the Stark Group actually had technical cooperation with Wakanda, but Stark had seen this kind of paper in the hands of Wakandans.

According to them, this kind of paper is a specialty of Wakanda, and in some cases it can be used as confidential files. The pattern will only appear under special light.

But Eric said that this was the design he drew after leaving Wakanda. Did he deliberately take some of these papers with him when he left Wakanda?

But at this time, Eric began to talk about the design of the robot. As for Stark's opinion on his remarks, it was probably that Eric knew a little about mechanical engineering, but not much.

For Stark, a top scientist in the world, anyone who talked about his professional field in front of him was a bit of a show-off, even the experts in this field. There was a barrier between Stark and most of the people on Earth in terms of technology.

And Eric's explanation of unmanned robot technology was not even at the level of an expert. In Stark's view, it was no different from a baby.

If it were in the past, making robots might have made him feel a little fresh, after all, he had been making arms before, but now he had made them himself and knew that there was nothing magical about them. He could even knock them out with a hammer in a simple cave. It would be a bit of an exaggeration to discuss technology so seriously.

But in order not to spoil Eric's fun, Stark nodded and said, "I will talk to the shareholders. Maybe the military will be interested in unmanned security robots."

Eric stopped moving. He could see that Stark was not surprised and had no enthusiasm. He even suspected that Stark did not look at the drawings carefully. These were the secret drawings of the Wakanda Royal Research Institute.

But seeing Stark's tense expression, Eric knew that he could not go further. Although he said that he wanted to conduct scientific research with Stark, Eric still took the drawings away before leaving.

This made Stark's suspicion break through a critical point. After all, academic fraud is definitely a minefield for any scientist, and academic impersonation is even more of a minefield.

Stark now doubted that the drawing in Eric's hand was not drawn by him, partly because the paper material was wrong, and partly because Eric's level was not enough.

In addition, Stark knew very well that scientists had a rough idea of ​​the projects they had spent a lot of effort on, and some could even draw the key parts of the design anytime and anywhere. The things on this drawing were so simple that even graduate students, as long as they had participated in the project, could restore it almost by memory, but Eric treasured this drawing very much.

This was very wrong. Stark had never made up his mind to investigate Eric, but this time he just stepped on Stark's tail.

Stark sighed, picked up the phone and said to Pepper on the other end: "I'm sorry, Pepper, Eric has caused you a lot of trouble. Can you please help me investigate him?"

And everyone who saw this scene in the Devouring Star Engine looked at Nick, and Nick opened his arms and said.

"Always remember one thing, friends, in interpersonal relationships, exhaustive method is the worst choice."

"When you encounter a minefield, please walk straight ahead without looking back. The result of taking a step in each direction to test the location of the mine is that you will inevitably step on it."
