#776 - Stark's Enlightenment
As before, it was the same routine: open the door, welcome the guest, interrogate – the whole shebang.
Soon after, accompanied by Nick Fury, Steve, and Rhodey, the President of the United States boarded a Quinjet provided by S.H.I.E.L.D. and headed for the White House.
This matter is very important.
Since AIM and the organization behind it wanted to kill the President, then their successor would inevitably be a puppet they supported.
Therefore, the immediate task for everyone now is to stabilize the political situation, unite reliable forces, consolidate power, and then find all the traitors, schemers, and Hydra pawns mixed in the upper echelons of the United States, and then eliminate them completely and bring them to justice.
Actually, luring the snake out of its hole is a good method.
That is, don't rush to save the President at the beginning, secretly use a stand-in, fake a charred corpse, and then sit back and watch the clowns perform.
At the critical moment, come out and turn the tide.
In this way, who is right and who is wrong, who is loyal and who is treacherous will be clear at a glance.
Unfortunately, Rhodey and the others couldn't really sit by and watch the President hanging in the air without trying to rescue him.
Now that Killian's plot has been thwarted, the news will naturally not be able to be concealed, and the person behind him must be prepared.
In this situation, many Hydra members who might have emerged will probably have escaped and gone into hiding again.
Relying solely on the two low-level AIM goons on hand, plus a crazy actor who knows nothing, shouldn't cause too much trouble.
It's a bit of a pity~
However, all of this has little to do with Liang Yue.
After politely sending off the S.H.I.E.L.D. group, only Stark and Pepper remained as guests in the manor.
Maya Hansen also quickly returned to the S.H.I.E.L.D. base in a car that Coulson had temporarily called.
After this incident, Ms. Hansen will probably face a comprehensive review, even though she is now a partner of many large pharmaceutical companies in the United States, but in view of her suspicion in this incident.
Maya will probably have to spend some time under surveillance.
However, the emergence of the Extremis virus has indeed allowed those capital groups to see the hope of catching up with gene therapy technology to a certain extent, although its existence is not perfect and still requires research and waiting.
But the advantages of this virus itself are actually very obvious.
Setting aside the fire-breathing, it can autonomously recover from injuries, even if it's limb loss or being cut open, it can be quickly healed.
Moreover, in this process, individuals modified by the virus will also have their physical fitness enhanced to a certain extent.
Objectively speaking, this is simply another type of super soldier modification agent.
If its instability can be overcome, even if the final effect is discounted, it still has great value.
Therefore, even though Maya herself is highly suspected, she will definitely be safe and sound before substantive evidence is found.
Even if there is evidence showing that she has a clear cooperative relationship with Hydra, she can still ensure her own safety.
It's just that the research environment she's in may become a little harsher.
……
Although the mastermind behind the conspiracy to blow up his own villa had been blasted to death by Stark himself with a laser cannon, Pepper was still holding onto Stark and stayed at Liang Yue's house for two days out of lingering fear.
When news came that S.H.I.E.L.D. was cooperating with the US government to launch a swift and decisive crackdown on the remaining AIM forces, she felt a little relieved.
Accompanied by Betty, she returned to her normal work.
Stark himself also took advantage of the free time in these few days to stay in the research laboratory under the castle all day, tinkering with his technical research.
Originally, he thought that his Iron Man armor was unparalleled in the world, and his technology was globally leading and almost perfect.
As a result, after test-driving Liang Yue's general-purpose armor, Stark has completely dispelled this notion.
Especially after seeing the armor with the addition of brainwave links and nerve conduction technology, and personally experiencing the excellent feeling of the fusion of man and armor, complementing each other.
His whole person seemed to have been brought into a whole new field.
Using the auxiliary of the armor, externally breaking the limitations of human body functions, and expanding the sensory control of the human brain.
The feeling is as if the pilot's control range has been directly expanded from the original human body to the entire armor.
The human brain and the computer are one, and the armor becomes a part of the human body, as if it were an arm.
Even if the senses are temporarily increased by several times in terms of jumping, strength, observation range, and nerve conduction speed, it does not seem too abrupt.
For Stark, this is definitely an unprecedented experience.
The moment he put on this general-purpose armor, Stark himself seemed to have transformed into a real, alternative superhuman in an instant.
Powerful strength, super-fast reaction speed, a jumping force that leaps several feet in one step, plus the assistance of a smart program next to him, it feels like installing a set of smart auxiliary plug-ins in his brain.
Various locking, aiming, weapon deployment, sensory transmission and other functions can be assisted and completed in an instant.
To be honest, this feeling of superpower is addictive~
Just like when Liang Yue first experienced the extraordinary power of martial arts, immortality, and professional evolution routes, it's easy to get addicted to it without paying attention.
The current Stark has a bit of that tendency.
So, he didn't even look at the armor that had been modified by the smart brain Xiaowu.
After symbolically flying around in the sky in his Iron Man armor, he continued to immerse himself in the exploration and learning of new technologies.
There's no way, the gap between them is really too big.
The sense of gap will definitely make Stark, a proud technology fanatic, doubt his life.
After experiencing Liang Yue's general-purpose mechanical armor, looking back at his original Iron Man armor, the feeling of getting into it is like controlling a dead object.
Although Stark's Iron Man armor also has a smart program like Jarvis to assist, compared to the smooth and refreshing feeling of directly performing brainwave control and fully connecting with the smart system, it's really like heaven and earth.
After deeply realizing that his technology has fallen behind, Stark is now determined to learn from his pain, humbly ask for advice, and constantly explore new technical ideas and support from the smart brain Xiaowu.
Even under the circumstances that Xiaowu received Liang Yue's order not to open up advanced technology to him, Stark still gained a lot.
He can't directly learn, but that can't stop him from finding a way out on his own.
In just two days, Stark has found a technical route that seems to be feasible.
That is, the virtual world series of technology that Liang Yue brought back from the planet Xandar with him, Meng Xiaoyu, Zhao Hailun, and Elizabeth.
Different from Xiaowu's self-developed technology, this virtual series technology from alien planets has always been open to Stark.
However, this set of technology is too complex, involving the combination and superposition of multiple aspects and many fields. It is not easy to understand and requires the joint efforts of many experts and scholars in related fields and long-term tackling.
Therefore, since it was brought back, it has been shelved by him and he has not had much thought to study it for the time being.
And in this virtual world series of technology system, there is a relatively mature technical route for linking the human brain with machines.
Stark believes that maybe he can gain something after he has made some achievements in this area~
