After the two of them solved the hunger problem, they threw themselves back into their work.

Since Tony's strength was still within the realm of humans, Lin Feng was responsible for some of the heavier, rougher work.

He moved the pipes, carefully placing each one and piecing them together into a loop.

Then, Tony added various strange devices to the pipes, forming a perfect closed loop for his small collider.

"Perfectly balanced."

Tony placed a level on the pipes, and the bubble in the middle was perfectly centered.

Lin Feng watched Tony set up this small collider and couldn't help but marvel.

This guy is a freak. What did he eat to grow that brain? How is he so amazing?

Lin Feng wasn't envious of Tony's intelligence, because he could also learn all human knowledge in a short amount of time and then use it.

He envied Tony's innovative ability; this guy was a pioneer.

He was an inventor.

Even if Lin Feng controlled his brain to adjust to the peak state of human intelligence, without Tony's super inspiration, his brain would just be like a computer.

Besides storing knowledge, it wouldn't invent anything at all.

Lin Feng stood by, unable to help much; he was just an audience member watching Iron Man 2 on set.

"Lin Feng, you're going to turn this wrench in a bit. Remember, slowly. Turn when I say turn."

After Tony set up the collider for creating the New Element, he twirled a wrench in his hand a few times.

Then, he placed it on a bolt above a control prism. This wrench was crucial, the most critical thing in creating the New Element.

Lin Feng nodded, standing by the wrench, ready at any moment.

Tony handed Lin Feng a pair of goggles, and then put on a pair himself.

He nodded to Lin Feng, signaling him, and Lin Feng gave him a look that said he could start.

Then, Tony hit the start button.

Inside the collider's pipes, an insignificant speck of light, like a firefly at night, flowed through the pipes, appearing and disappearing.

As this speck of light accelerated to a certain speed, its brightness increased, and its speed also increased, finally forming a straight line like a laser.

However, after this straight line was reflected by a prism in the pipe, it formed an arc-shaped line inside the pipe.

"Now! Lin Feng! Pull the wrench, let the New Element gather on this triangular core!"

The energy inside the pipes became even more terrifying as the speck of light moved at high speed. The massive energy shook Tony's entire seaside villa.

The lights in the entire underground laboratory became extremely unstable due to this vibration. The flickering light was like mood lighting in a hotel, making people feel nervous.

Lin Feng only felt that the ground beneath his feet was constantly shaking like an earthquake, and everything around him was making clattering sounds of collision. The pipe also seemed to be unable to withstand the energy, making a horrible creaking sound.

Hearing Tony's shout, Lin Feng quickly turned the wrench. His super strength easily twisted it.

The bolt drove the prism inside the pipe to twist, and the light inside the pipe was gradually changing direction.

Then, this laser, which had formed the sharpest blade in the world, crawled out of the pipe and easily cut through the pipe's hard walls.

The dazzling blue laser gradually moved towards the triangular core as Lin Feng turned the wrench.

But Lin Feng felt like he was turning the whole world. Every inch the blue laser moved towards the triangular core, Lin Feng felt the resistance in his hand increase. With his strength, when it was only a few centimeters away, he had almost exhausted all of his power.

Lin Feng didn't notice that Tony, who was next to him, had an extremely surprised expression on his face when he saw him struggling to turn the wrench.

Even at the end, Tony's expression turned to shock.

Tony's small collider had been adjusted by him, and the resistance of the wrench would increase as the energy increased. If the energy flowed for too long, the resistance would become unimaginably large.

How much strength does Lin Feng actually have?

Tony couldn't help but ask himself this question.

Because he couldn't even calculate how much resistance the wrench had now.

"Damn it!!!!"

The veins on Lin Feng's hands were popping out, but the wrench was now stuck here and couldn't be pulled at all.

Seeing that the energy of the laser was getting higher and higher, the ceiling of Tony's mansion was constantly dropping plaster due to the vibration of this energy.

Seeing this, Lin Feng knew that if the energy wasn't gathered into the triangular core, then this huge energy flow would definitely collapse the place.

He saw waves of black and red tendrils suddenly rising from Lin Feng's hands, extending from his hands all the way to his shoulders.

Wherever they passed, Lin Feng's skin and clothes turned into a pure black, jade-like texture.

A pair of muscle-exploding black arms manifested.

Blacklight Muscle Arms!!!

Lin Feng instantly felt his strength increase several times. Taking advantage of the instantaneous increase in power.

He suddenly burst out all of his strength and turned the wrench with force.

Bang!!!

The terrifying force nearly shattered the wrench in Lin Feng's hand the moment he exerted his strength.

The enormous pulling inertia caused Lin Feng to stumble, almost falling to the ground.

However, he adjusted his posture in an instant, directly grabbing the bolt with his bare hands and forcefully twisting it into the correct position.

The high-speed circulating energy beams finally converged into the triangular core, and a soft hum, like the cry of a newborn baby, was exciting.

The triangular core slowly emitted a dazzling light, as bright and radiant as the sun, illuminating the entire underground laboratory with its brilliant blue glow.

"Not too difficult, I guess."

Looking at the triangular core, which was of great significance to him, Tony said with feigned ease.

He walked to the triangular core, picked up a pair of tweezers, gently clamped the newly created New Element, and placed it in the analyzer.

"Jarvis, how's this heart looking?"

Tony's eyes were filled with the blue reflection of the triangular New Element core.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng, who had exerted a tremendous amount of effort, took a few breaths and sat down on the ground, feeling somewhat exhausted.

His hands returned to their original appearance in the blink of an eye, and he felt a faint tingling sensation.

Lin Feng looked at Tony, who was analyzing the New Element core, with some surprise.

He remembered that twisting the wrench in the movie wasn't that strenuous, so why did it take almost all of his strength here?

"Tony, why was this prism so hard to turn?"

Lin Feng asked his question, feeling that Tony must have made some modifications.

"I changed some energy values so that when this New Element converges, the resistance of the wrench is defined by the magnitude of the energy flow. In other words, the more energy it contains, the greater the resistance.

Do you know how much force you just exerted?"

Tony turned around to explain, then looked at Lin Feng with an excited expression, as if he had discovered something new and interesting.

Lin Feng felt his hair stand on end from his gaze and asked, "How much?" after hearing his question.

"I don't know if you used your full strength, but at least based on the energy just now..."

Tony was halfway through his sentence when Jarvis, who was analyzing the New Element, interjected, "Mr. Lin, according to the energy just now, your strength is enough to break a dozen-story building. The specific value cannot be calculated, but it can be roughly estimated that your strength should be in the hundreds or thousands of tons range."

Lin Feng opened his mouth in surprise, as he didn't have a clear idea of his own strength.

He only knew that he could easily carry a car and jump tens of meters between tall buildings while carrying it, of course, without using his full strength.

But now, at least with Tony's deliberate effort, Lin Feng knew the limit of his strength.

Close to hundreds or thousands of tons, that should be stronger than Hulk, right?

Just as Jarvis finished speaking, Tony raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

"Lin Feng, are you really not considering giving me a strand of your hair?"

Now, the New Element was no longer as attractive to Tony. He looked at Lin Feng with glowing eyes, like a dragon seeing a gem.

"No, absolutely not."

Lin Feng refused decisively, not allowing Tony to obtain his body sample, otherwise, billions of lives in this world would be doomed.

"Maybe there will be a chance in the future, at least I have a new toy now."

Although rejected, Tony didn't feel disappointed.

Because his Palladium Element had finally found a replacement.

"Sir, the analysis is complete. The energy produced by this new core is better than your Palladium Element. The energy is cleaner, and although there is slight radiation, it is not harmful to the human body. It can completely replace the Palladium Element reactor in your chest."

Jarvis finished the analysis at this time, reporting the results to Tony one by one.

"Wow, this is the sun."

Tony used tweezers to pick up the triangular core and placed it in the pre-made reactor. After the reactor received the new energy source, it quickly lit up with a brighter light than the Palladium Element reactor.

The faint humming sound was like the tide of blood flowing. Tony picked up the new reactor, roughly unbuckled the Palladium Element in his chest, and then buckled the new reactor on.

"This taste... is a bit like chestnuts."

Tony casually threw the old Palladium Element reactor aside, without the slightest bit of nostalgia.

Lin Feng looked at the old reactor. Although this Palladium Element reactor had a few side effects, when used in robots, these side effects wouldn't be considered side effects.

He picked up the reactor and asked, "Tony, can I have this?"

"Sure, I'm not a sentimental person. You should know if you read my gossip news.

Jarvis, the new core is reacting well. Prepare a press conference. In a few days, I'm going to create history with my little buddy."

Tony picked up a towel to wipe his hands, tidying up the messy parts on the table.

While tidying up, he shouted.

"Yes, sir."

Jarvis said.

Seeing that Tony had no attachment to the old reactor, Lin Feng unceremoniously pocketed it.

"Tony, now that your problem is solved, S.H.I.E.L.D. will probably be here soon. I'll leave first. Tell me when the reception is, and I'll be there."

Lin Feng had been using Pulse ever since he escaped from S.H.I.E.L.D.

Pulse spread out for several kilometers, and a group of black SUVs carrying agents with rifles were rushing towards this way.

These were clearly Hydra agents hidden within S.H.I.E.L.D., and their persistence was unmatched.

As for why he kept Pulse Vision active, it was because of Ava.

The ghost who could turn invisible and pass through objects.

This woman had scared him badly. It was due to a moment of carelessness that Lin Feng took the first punch since arriving in this world.

He still felt like he had a psychological shadow.

"Huh? What's wrong? Is there a problem? I wanted to take you on a tour of my tech exhibition park. It was left to me by my father. If you say this was a gift he left me, then aren't there other things he left behind?"

Tony didn't understand why Lin Feng suddenly wanted to leave. He wanted to know more about his father from Lin Feng.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. still has some of your father's relics. They're almost here now. I have to go. My being here will only cause you to completely break with them. Don't worry, I have ways to escape their pursuit. Besides, they're no match for me.

Oh, and be careful of some people in S.H.I.E.L.D. S.H.I.E.L.D. has long been corrupted by Hydra."

Although Lin Feng worsened Tony's relationship with S.H.I.E.L.D., he didn't want the Hydra agents in S.H.I.E.L.D. to target Tony.

Tony's strength wasn't great yet. His armor was still in the initial stages of development, without the various fancy armors of the future. He wasn't strong enough, and if Hydra targeted him, he could easily die accidentally.

Lin Feng had to draw Hydra's attention to himself, so he could take the opportunity to obtain some good things.

After saying this, Lin Feng gently waved his hand. He conjured a ball of light blue mist that enveloped him, and then the mist transformed into a long stream of cloud-like energy that flew away from Tony's villa.

"Uh... what?! Hey! Wait, my father really did leave something for me. Who has it? Who do I ask for it? There are Hydra agents in S.H.I.E.L.D.?!! The press conference is in three days!! Don't forget!!"

The information Lin Feng left behind was too shocking, and Tony was momentarily stunned.

He never expected that there would be Hydra's shadow in S.H.I.E.L.D., and that his father had actually left something for him.

By the time Tony wanted to ask for clarification, Lin Feng had already flown far away.

"So fast. Did you hear me?"

Tony chased the cloud-like energy all the way to the rooftop balcony, muttering as he watched it merge into the clouds above the sea.

"Sir, a squad of agents registered with S.H.I.E.L.D. is approaching. They are armed with rifles."

At this time, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent squad entered Jarvis's detection range, and it quickly reported to Tony.

"They're really here. Jarvis, is my suit ironed? Let's dress smartly. We have guests coming."

Tony turned around and narrowed his eyes. Sure enough, not far from his villa, a convoy of vehicles that looked only the size of fingertips was driving towards here.

He quickly went downstairs, put on his armor, and waited for their arrival.
