Looking at the three three-dimensional projections suspended in mid-air, Pepper knew that Tony should get down to business next. He didn't need her to be with him at this time, and her staying here would distract him.
She walked up to Tony and put the champagne glass in her hand on the table. "I'm going to Washington by plane tonight. You have a lot of homework to do, which will keep you busy."
Tony's eyes moved away from the holographic projection and fell on Pepper's face.
He opened his mouth, "You can leave tomorrow" or "It's so late, do you have to catch a night flight?" and rolled them around on his tongue, but when he glanced at the four Lin Hai who were looking over here, he swallowed those words back.
He coughed and said in a businesslike tone, "Well... well, I do have something serious to do."
Pepper looked at Tony's confused expression. She didn't point it out. She just came closer and whispered something in his ear.
Tony's eyes lit up and he said cheerfully, "Oh, I'll see you then. Have a nice trip."
Then the two kissed lightly, and Pepper walked towards the elevator. When passing by Lin Hai and the others, she waved to the four of them.
At the elevator entrance, Coulson, who had completed his mission, also followed Pepper and left with confidence after receiving the affirmative look from Lin Hai.
In his opinion, since Lin Hai, a very reliable consultant, conveyed a certain message to him with his eyes, then he would look at the less reliable Tony here.
He still has to go back and deal with a lot of mess. S.H.I.E.L.D., who was made a big fuss by Loki, has a lot of things to deal with.
Lin Hai withdrew his gaze from the elevator entrance and turned to Tony, who was staring at the three holographic projections with a slight frown and said:
"The strong man with long golden hair here is called Thor, the son of All-Father Odin in Nordic mythology, which is also Thor in Nordic mythology.
It was around this time last year, and a few of us met him at New Mexico. And he was indeed, as the myth said, a guy who held a hammer and could control thunder and lightning."
"Thor? Is he really the kind of god in mythology?" Tony's tone was filled with curiosity and instinctive questioning as a scientist.
Lin Hai shook his head first, and then nodded. These two completely opposite actions made Tony's expression even more confused.
Fortunately, Lin Hai immediately gave an explanation. "If you look at it from the perspective of ancient people, then he is indeed that kind of god-like existence.
Asgardians has an average lifespan of several thousand years. He can smash a tank into scrap metal with his bare hands, fly in the sky, thunder will accompany him whenever he appears in front of people, and he can control lightning.
Putting these things together, to the people of ancient times, he was a god."
"But if we look at it from our current perspective, he can actually be classified as an alien, but this alien is really like a human being, and he can also speak English."
"By the way, if we really want to trace the origin, Asgardian Pantheon, to which Thor belongs, actually came out of the earth, so there is no problem if you just think of him as a more powerful human being."
Speaking of this, Lin Hai found that not only Tony, but also Gwen, Peter and Harry around him all had expressions that said "You continue, we still want to hear".
Although Gwen has read many records about Nine Realms in Kamar-Taj's classics, many details in those classics are unclear. Not to mention Peter and Harry. Now every word Lin Hai says is brand new information for them.
Lin Hai looked at the four faces full of curiosity and spread his hands.
"I know what you want to ask. Why did Asgard come out of the earth? And why were they on the earth in the first place? There are too many things involved, and it won't do you any good to know.
The top priority now is to have a general understanding of them first, and we will talk about the details later when we have the opportunity, so there is no rush."
Tony and Gwen were a little unfinished, but they still nodded. The matter at the moment was indeed more urgent.
"Next is Captain America." Lin Hai turned to the second projection, "Everyone basically knows this information, and Tony your father is a colleague with him."
Gwen and the three of them nodded in unison. Not long ago, they had a meal with Captain America.
Tony frowned. "I know that he is a colleague of my father, but didn't he sacrifice himself?"
"It was a sacrifice, but it was not the kind of sacrifice that confirmed death. Seventy years ago, he crashed into Arctic while driving a plane that could blow up the entire New York into the sky, and was then frozen in the ice of Arctic."
Lin Hai gave a direct explanation this time. "Super-Soldier Serum saved his life. The serum not only strengthened his body to the limit of human beings, but also gave him extremely strong self-healing ability and environmental adaptability."
He did not die on the spot after the crash. The serum allowed his body to enter a protective mode similar to hibernation while frozen.
He was preserved in that state for a full seventy years, just like those microorganisms in nature that are frozen in permafrost and can return to activity after thawing."
"Last year, people from S.H.I.E.L.D. discovered the plane during Arctic's survey, and then found him. They took him out of the glacier. After this year of recovery and training, he became the Captain America that people remember."
Tony clicked his tongue twice. "A young old guy."
Lin Hai was noncommittal about this evaluation. He continued to introduce, "The last one is less famous than the first two. His name is Bruce Banner. He has genius-level intelligence and is a top expert in physics, Gamma Radiation and other fields."
Tony remembered something. "Bruce Banner... I have heard of this person. He is a nuclear physicist. I have read several papers he published in the field of gamma rays.
He is indeed a genius-level person, but if you compare him to me, he is still a bit behind.
But you said he is this... big green guy?"
"Yes." Lin Hai confirmed, "During an experiment on gamma rays, he was exposed to a fatal dose of Gamma Radiation. According to common sense, that intensity of radiation is enough to kill any human within a few seconds.
But not only did he not die, but he also gained an ability as a blessing in disguise. When he was extremely emotional or faced a death crisis, he would transform into a green, huge, invulnerable and powerful giant.
And the angrier he becomes, the more powerful he becomes. Theoretically, there is no upper limit to his power, but he will lose his mind."
Tony Originally, when he heard "invulnerability" and "infinite strength", the expression on his face was even a little yearning, but when he heard "you will lose your mind after transforming", the corner of his mouth curled up.
Forget about losing his mind, the thing he is most proud of is his brain. It would be terrible if one day he doesn't even have the most basic logical thinking.
And... that big guy is still so green, which is completely inconsistent with his aesthetics.
