Chapter 17 Everyone Is Winning
"I mean, you can fly by yourself, right?"
"What if your armor is not fast enough, but you still fly and surpass me?"
Tony finally remembered that Leon's own speed is dozens of times that of the Iron Armor.
"Am I the kind of person who would cheat?"
"You can't cheat, so why did you knock me out two days ago?"
"Okay, then I'll get out of the armor, Jarvis, you control the armor."
"Wait, Jarvis controls? You mean, your armor can be unmanned throughout the whole process?" Tony hasn't studied it to that point yet.
"Hmm, how about it, my armor is strong."
"It's... cough, I mean, it's a good idea, but I thought of this before, but I didn't have enough time."
"... Then you are really amazing, Tony."
"Ahem, okay, Jarvis, are you ready, we're going to start the competition." Tony changed the subject with a bit of guilt.
"Okay, Mr. Stark, I'll start the countdown in three seconds. Are you ready?"
"I've been ready for a long time."
Jarvis issued an order: "Ready, three, two, one, start!"
The two armors ignited their thrusters at the same time, took off at full power, and soared into the sky, with long tail flames crossing the sky.
Lyon looked at the clouds where the two disappeared and couldn't help complaining.
"In fact, if you ask me, both armors are so slow."
"Sure enough, armors have no other effect on me except for sentiment."
Then he twisted his collar with both hands, and the bio-force field spread out, rushing into the sky like a reverse shooting meteor.
…………
"Oh hoo!" Tony continued to accelerate in the sky. He had never experienced so much freedom in the sky.
"For millions of years, the sky has been held high above human heads."
"Flying into the sky and conquering the sky is a desire engraved in human genes."
"No wonder so many people in history have tried to fly. This feeling is really great!!"
Tony was very excited and felt proud that he was the king of machines who would win at this moment.
"Jarvis, has Leon's armor been left far behind by me now?" He felt that the answer was yes.
However, Jarvis was always so ruthless: "I'm sorry, Mr. Stark, I'm sorry to tell you that you have been left three blocks behind by the mecha controlled by my subroutine."
"What?" Tony was stunned, "This is impossible!"
"Sorry, the fact is that you and Master Leon's armor have opened up a distance of 700 meters."
Tony looked up, but the clouds in the sky made it difficult for him to see the scene above.
"This must be a mistake, speed up, Jarvis, speed up!"
Mark 2 burst out with greater propulsion, pushed away the sea of clouds, and went up the opposite direction.
However, a few minutes later, Tony still couldn't see Leon's armor, not even the exhaust.
"Damn it, why is it so fast?"
"Because Master Leon used a more coordinated motion system and reduced the weight of the armor, the acceleration and maximum speed have been improved." Jarvis reported.
"...Okay, I now kind of admit that the boy is a genius, but I can't lose this competition, Jarvis, use more power than you can handle."
"Sir, I want to remind you that if you continue to go up, the armor may freeze due to the low temperature."
"Listen to me, keep flying!"
A few minutes later, Tony could vaguely see the tail flame of Lyon's armor.
"Okay, that's it, catch up with it, and then overtake it!"
"Sir, the outer layer of the armor has been frozen, and continuing to fly may cause damage to the components."
"Don't worry about it, keep accelerating!"
Tony is now full of blood, and his competitive spirit has been completely mobilized.
In a hot-blooded comic, he will definitely explode next, and then overtake Lyon's armor and achieve a counterattack.
It's a pity that the physical rules of the Marvel world will not give in to him for such a reason.
——Only the more tragic people in Marvel can ignore physics and counterattack.
As the altitude continues to climb, layers of frost begin to cover the shell of Mark II, and quickly spread and thicken.
The acceleration of the armor began to decrease.
Jarvis had no time to remind him.
The next moment, Mark II suddenly shut down!
All the current circuits inside the armor were frozen, and the power was cut off instantly!
"Wait, what's going on... ah, ah, ah!"
Tony's straight figure lost balance and fell rapidly like a frog with its teeth and claws bared.
"Jarvis, Jarvis! Open your wings!"
Tony found that the armor was frozen and uncontrollable, and wanted to call Jarvis.
But the current short-circuited, and the intelligent system had already stopped running.
The armor fell faster and faster, and gravity mercilessly exerted its power at this moment.
"No, no, Leon! Leon save me!" Tony shouted in panic.
The next second.
"No problem, Tony."
Leon instantly appeared in front of Mark II, holding it up, and the downward trend stopped instantly.
This damn sense of security is really damned.
Tony was still in shock: "Oh my god, that was really thrilling, thank you Leon, although I know you must be watching me make a fool of myself down there."
"Don't say that, I actually wanted to see if you could stay calm and turn the situation around."
"You better think so..." Tony took a deep breath and gasped to calm down.
"Huh!" On the other side, Jarvis flew down in Lyon's armor.
"Sir, it's great that you're okay. It was really thrilling just now." Jarvis expressed concern in a robotic voice.
Leon continued to carry Tony: "Okay, now the competition is over, let's go back."
Tony had no objection.
On the way back, he suddenly asked: "The gold you mentioned is used to solve the problem of high-altitude icing?"
"Yes, adding gold material can allow the armor to continue to operate in extreme environments."
Tony fell completely silent.
…
Back in the underground garage, Tony took off his suit with the help of his smart arm.
"Leon, you...you win." He sat down with some frustration.
"Yes, I won."
Leon smiled happily.
He walked to Tony and sat down: "But, actually, you also won, Tony."
He explained to Tony's puzzled eyes: "It was you who taught me how to build the steel armor so that I could make it."
"It's like if you taught other mechanics this knowledge, wouldn't they really be able to learn it?"
"Of course they can learn it. Even because of everyone's different ideas, they can also create a armor with more functions than you."
“The most difficult thing in this world is never learning and extension, but creation—creation from scratch!”
"Tony, and you, are the one who created it."
"Without you, maybe twenty years later, no one would be able to build a small Ark reactor, and no one would be able to build a steel armor."
"I defeated you this time, but I just perfected some things that you didn't have time to perfect."
"Tony, do you think you can't do these things?"
Tony immediately shook his head: "Of course not..."
"Just...well, give me some time and I can do it."
"Look," Leon patted Tony on the shoulder, "Tony, you just lack a little time, and I just used my super brain to save this time."
Tony's frustration just now slowly dissipated, and his eyes were a little complicated: "Leon, you are really... different anymore."
"Did you just realize that I already look like a little superman, how can I still be the same as before?"
"No, I mean, you've grown up."
"Sorry, I can't tell for a moment whether you are hurting me or praising me."
"Of course I'm complimenting you!"
"Well, Tony, I want to say that you have grown up since you came back from Afghanistan this time. After all, you have never..."
"Stop! Stop! Why did you suddenly turn around and scold me!"
"Look, what I just said."
"...You won, you won again, Ou, with this damn desire to win in adolescence, you should really go to school in Colombia as soon as possible instead of annoying me at home all day long."
"Look, look, Tony, you're in a hurry."
"Get out! Get away from me!"
"Okay, I'll leave smoothly." Leon picked up his armor and ran away.
"This kid..." Tony shook his head helplessly, thought for a while, and suddenly laughed, "It's really amazing."
