Luo Xia had no idea how deeply his actions had affected Skye. To him, Skye was just like Daisy: a stranger he'd met once, not even quite a friend.
After rescuing everyone, Luo Xia hurried over to Tony.
Now that the AllSpark's energy had reached its second stage, he could finally activate another robot.
Tony's unfinished armor was exactly the kind of technology-research specialist robot Luo Xia needed most right now.
In his previous life, Luo Xia had been a soldier. If you asked him to take a pistol apart and put it back together, he could do it with all sorts of flourishes. But if you asked him to help develop a pistol, that was another matter.
Luo Xia expected the AllSpark to do more than churn out equipment by rote. It was the source of a civilization, and the most precious thing it contained had to be scientific knowledge.
Tony, for example, had greatly sped up his research and avoided many wrong turns by reverse-engineering Luo Fei's mechanical structure. Knowledge that could be understood and passed down would always matter more than unreplicable superpowers or cheat abilities.
It was like what the general had said after Captain America was created: "I want an army, not a super soldier."
Captain America had indeed influenced the course of the war, but the loss of the super-soldier formula had left a serious technological gap.
If the AllSpark really was the crystallization of an advanced mechanical civilization, it had to have a corresponding scientific research function. And Tony's unfinished armor was the best target Luo Xia could find.
Luo Xia didn't hide his intentions from Tony, who knew what he was really up to. He said outright that he wanted to turn Tony's armor into a robot.
Tony was interested, too, and
