In the afternoon of the next day, Lin Hai was lying on the deck chair on the rooftop balcony to soak up the sun.
New York The sunshine in May is just right. It shines warmly on the body, making people drowsy. There is a cup of freshly brewed Longjing on the small coffee table next to it, and the fragrance of tea floats slowly in the breeze.
He had just had lunch with Gwen and the others. After Peter and Harry cleared away the dishes, they went back to the underground laboratory, while Gwen went to the study to continue studying the magic books she brought back from Kamar-Taj.
Lin Hai was sitting alone on the recliner, half-closing his eyes, enjoying the rare tranquility.
But in the next second, the silence was broken by the mobile phone in his trouser pocket.
He took it out and saw the words "Tsundere Freak" displayed on the screen. He pressed the answer button and the voice of Tony came from the phone, "Doctor Lin, are you free tonight?"
Lin Hai was a little curious as to why Tony called him at this time to ask if he was free.
"Yes, what's the matter?"
Tony said in a plain tone that could not conceal his excitement and pride, "You are invited to witness how Stark Tower has become a benchmark for renewable clean energy."
Hearing what Tony said, Lin Hai remembered it.
Tony The Stark Tower in Manhattan is planning to use Arc Reactor to completely replace the external power supply at this time. The previous building was connected to the municipal power grid of New York, which is no different from the surrounding office buildings.
But it will be different after today. Tony will connect his reactor to the energy system of the building, so that the entire building will be completely disconnected from the power grid and can maintain all operations solely on the energy generated by the reactor itself.
This is indeed something to be proud of. A skyscraper that operates entirely on clean energy is the only one in the world.
Those environmental organizations have been shouting slogans for so many years, such as zero emissions, carbon neutrality, and renewable energy transformation. Tony said nothing, but spoke with facts.
In this way, rounding off, he and Tony are neighbors. Stark Tower is in Midtown Manhattan district, and it only takes about half an hour to get there by subway from Brooklyn Heights.
Although not far away, Brooklyn Heights is not within the destruction circle invaded by Chitauri. When the war turns upside down, it will not affect his home.
"Okay, I'll be there in a minute." Lin Hai agreed simply.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Hai went downstairs with the unfinished cup of Longjing. He first went to the study and found Gwen, who was sitting behind the desk with a thick Kama Taj magic book spread out in front of her.
He leaned against the door frame and told Tony about inviting them to Stark Tower, and Gwen readily agreed. Then Lin Hai went to the underground laboratory and told Peter and Harry.
As soon as night fell over the earth, the four Lin Hai arrived at the top floor of Stark Tower via Portal.
Portal's golden sparks dissipated on the circular top floor platform. As soon as Peter's feet stepped on the ground, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of "Wow~", which was full of envy for the wealthy dog owner.
No wonder Peter would sigh like this, because under their feet is a semi-circular platform full of design. Looking down from this platform, Manhattan can have a panoramic view of thousands of lights.
However, this kind of envy only stays at the level of novelty and wonder. Among the four Lin Hai, no matter Harry, who is the second generation of rich people, or Peter, who became rich later, are actually not used to living in such a luxurious place.
Peter still likes to go back to live with Uncle Ben and Aunt May most of the time. For him, a place with relatives is home.
If Harry wanted to live a luxurious life, he would not stay in Lin Hai's small villa all the time. His Osborn Manor is just as good as Stark Tower.
The four Lin Hai looked through the glass curtain wall not far away and saw Pepper waving to them in the building.
Pepper There is a lit laptop on the table in front of him. Except for the dim light emitted by the computer screen, all the lights on the entire floor are not turned on. From the platform, there is only darkness.
However, Lin Hai and the others were not too surprised. Lin Hai had already briefed Gwen and the others before arriving. The four of them quickly walked through the glass curtain wall and walked from the circular platform into the dark interior of the building.
After briefly greeting Pepper, Pepper said with a smile, "Tony went to arrange the arrangements. He will be back soon."
As soon as she finished speaking, Tony's voice rang in everyone's ears. The voice came from the speaker of the laptop in front of Pepper: "Pepper, my side should be ready, and it's up to you next."
On the computer screen, Tony's face appeared in a video call window.
Pepper walked to the computer, put his hands on the desktop, and looked down at Tony on the screen. "You cut off the transmission line and did not connect to the power grid. Arc Reactor had better run smoothly, otherwise the six of us will be chatting in this dark room."
Tony on the screen was stunned for a moment. "Six people?"
Then he reacted. "Oh, the four of them are here. No problem, close the switch and let them see how my building lights up."
Now that Tony said so, Pepper didn't hesitate any more. The moment Pepper pressed the switch, Stark Tower lit up layer by layer starting from the bottom.
When the lights on each floor turn on, you can vaguely see the spacious office spaces behind the glass curtain walls - neat workstations, open conference areas, and huge display screens hanging on the walls.
Finally, the huge "STARK" letters outside the edge of the top floor also lit up, and the white and blue light illuminated a large area of the night sky above the Midtown Manhattan area.
Tony's voice came from the notebook, with a proud tone. "Look, what did I say?"
About twenty or thirty seconds after the building was all lit up, the people standing by the glass curtain wall saw through the glass curtain wall a stream of light flying rapidly towards here in the night sky. It was none other than Tony wearing Mark VI.
Lin Hai Four people walked out of the building. Tony was standing on a landing site prepared in advance on the circular platform.
Just as he landed, the ring-shaped device that appeared on Stark Industries Expo rose from under the platform and surrounded Tony, and then many flexible robotic arms stretched out from the inside of the device.
Those robotic arms accurately found every seam and lock on the Mark VI armor, and began to disassemble the Tony armor at an extremely fast speed.
The helmet was removed first, followed by the back armor, arm armor, and shoulder armor. Each disassembled part was caught and retracted by a mechanical arm. Tony walked towards Lin Hai and the others while letting the mechanical arms operate on him while taking off his armor.
I have to say that Tony's automatic disassembly device is indeed very ornamental, but the reactions of Peter and Harry were somewhat beyond Tony's expectations.
He could completely understand that Lin Hai and Gwen were dull throughout the whole process. It was understandable that two mages who knew magic could not understand the aesthetic shock from the machine.
But what happened to Peter and Harry?
That spider boy's eyes would light up when he saw any novel mechanical device in the past, not to mention the armor boy. He has armor himself, so there is no way he can't understand the technical content of this automatic disassembly system in mechanical engineering.
As a result, the two of them had this dull reaction?
At this moment, JARVIS's iconic British accent came from his headset. "Sir, Agent Coulson from S.H.I.E.L.D. called."
The last piece of leg armor on Tony's feet was removed by the robotic arm. Tony, wearing black casual clothes, stepped out of the ring platform and walked towards the four Lin Hai. At the same time, he said into the headset, "They say I am outside... in fact, I am indeed outside."
How could he have the mind to answer S.H.I.E.L.D.'s call at the moment? No matter what Coulson was looking for, it was not as important to him as the current matter.
However, JARVIS's voice sounded again, "Sir, I'm afraid he won't believe it."
Tony continued to walk towards the four Lin Hai, while shrugging indifferently. "A little confident, JARVIS, I have to entertain guests here."
