Not long after, he returned to New York and came to Tony's research room according to the location in his memory.
As soon as Lucian's figure appeared in the underground research room, the robotic arm suddenly turned, and the mouth of Repulsors lit up with a dazzling white light.
In front of the workbench, the welding gun in Tony's hand shook and almost welded on his own hand.
"Hey!"
He quickly took half a step back, raised his right hand and aimed it at Lucian.
"JARVIS, how did he get in? Why didn't he notify me?"
"Sorry, sir."
The voice of JARVIS sounded from all around.
"I just discovered Mr. Pivot. The existing surveillance did not capture any intrusion process, and the access control system did not open the record."
"Okay, don't embarrass him."
Lucian glanced at the robotic arm pointed at him, but didn't pay attention to it.
Tony stared at him for a few seconds, and then remembered the scene when Lucian disappeared during the day.
"Space transfer?"
Lucian smiled.
"What, you want to research a set of anti-Pivot armor?"
"Ahem."
Tony coughed in embarrassment. He did have this idea, and there were more than one.
After Battle of New York ended, he was reviewing all the abilities displayed by Lucian. The terrifying strength and defense, the speed that was too fast to capture, Heat Vision, Lightning, Magnetic Field, flames, and this completely unreasonable space movement.
The problem is, just because it can be recorded, doesn't mean it can be solved.
A dozen targeted technical solutions flashed through his mind, but he was quickly rejected one by one.
No, with the current technological level of the earth, there is no way to counter the pure Space Jump.
"I just maintain the necessary curiosity about unknown technologies."
Tony put down his arm, and several robotic arms also retracted.
"Besides, who would name a suit anti-Pivot? It sounds like it's just waiting to be torn down by you."
Quite tough-talking.
Lucian didn't expose him either.
Moreover, with the current technical level of Tony, even if it were actually made, it would probably just be a large toy.
"So, you are coming back to tell me that Vibranium is not available, and to appreciate the disappointed expression of a genius?"
"Vibranium got it."
"How much?"
Lucian opens System Space directly.
The next second, pieces of Vibranium rough stones with a blue-purple luster appeared out of thin air and hit the ground one after another.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
There was a dull sound of impact.
In the blink of an eye, a small hill had been piled up in the center of the research room. Several robotic arms detected the obstacle and hurriedly moved to both sides to avoid it.
Tony The teasing on his face completely disappeared.
He walked to the pile of raw rocks, stretched out his hand to touch the surface, and quickly pulled out a portable detector from under the workbench.
The values on the screen jump rapidly.
"JARVIS."
"Preliminary scanning results show that these ores contain high concentrations of unknown metal components, and the consistency with the data of the existing Vibranium sample reaches 99.7%."
JARVIS paused.
"Sir, it is recommended to conduct more precise testing."
Tony said nothing.
His eyes were almost attached to the Vibranium rough stone.
So many?
The total amount of Vibranium in public circulation around the world is probably not even a fraction of the pile of rough stones in front of you. Those black market merchants dared to charge sky-high prices for just a few grams of Vibranium. Lucian went out for a few hours and actually moved it back to a small mountain.
"Where did you get it?"
"A nation of high-tech primitives."
Tony raised his head.
"A high-tech primitive nation?"
He pointed at the rough stone on the ground.
"What the hell kind of description is this? They live in thatched huts and build spaceships out of Vibranium at the same time?"
"Almost."
Lucian reminds me of those farmhouses used to disguise Wakanda.
There is really nothing wrong with this description.
A group of Africa people who have mastered technology that far exceeds that of the outside world still maintain a tribal system, and the throne is determined by taking medicine and hand-to-hand combat. To say they are high-tech primitive people is already being polite.
Tony walked half a circle around the pile of original rocks.
"Do they still have it in stock?"
"A lot."
"I can buy it for a good price."
"Not quite."
"It should be impossible for you to get it for the time being." Lucian shook his head,
"Then how did you buy these?"
"I didn't buy it."
The research room became quiet.
Tony looked at the pile of Vibranium, then at Lucian, and suddenly felt that his question was a bit redundant.
With the combat effectiveness Lucian showed during the day at New York, if that country was unwilling to sell, he probably wouldn't stand at the door and talk about business credibility.
"Okay, I won't ask about the process."
Tony squatted down and re-examined a piece of Vibranium rough stone.
"However, if there are still many of them, can you introduce me to them? I can provide weapons, energy, medical technology, and even help them upgrade the city system."
"Don't think about it."
Lucian picked up a rough stone and weighed it in the palm of his hand.
"If you go there now, they will only treat you as an outsider coveting Vibranium. Not to mention doing business, whether you can get in or not is a question."
Of course, except for forced entry.
Tony's face lost most of its expectations.
"What a shame, I thought I finally met a customer worthy of Stark Industries's technology."
"I can share some with you."
Tony stood up immediately.
"How much?"
"Can you make a price, or the shares of Stark Industries? If you are not interested in cash, I still have many properties, New York, Los Angeles, and Malibu are all fine."
Lucian shook his finger.
"Money is of no use to me."
"Then what do you want?"
"Make me a set of artificial intelligence similar to JARVIS."
Tony The smile on his face froze.
"Similar to JARVIS?"
"Can learn independently, can take over the network, process information, and assist research."
Lucian has long wanted a set of artificial intelligence of his own.
Ordinary intelligent programs have limited value, but truly evolvable artificial intelligence is different. In the future, whether it is collecting intelligence, invading networks, or building your own laboratory, it can save a lot of time.
"A customized armor, plus an evolving artificial intelligence?"
Tony folded his arms.
"Do you know how much work this is?"
"So I give you Vibranium."
"Artificial intelligence is not a mobile phone on the assembly line. It can be automatically produced by inputting requirements. The underlying architecture and database of JARVIS are my achievements over many years."
"Half a ton."
Tony's eyelids twitched.
"You cannot use Vibranium to insult the principles of a scientist."
"A ton."
"Deal."
Lucian looked at his outstretched hand and shook it.
Tony let go of his hand and immediately turned around to bring up the design interface of the laboratory.
"Okay, you can go out and don't disturb my research."
He directed the robotic arm to send a few rough stones to the inspection platform, and then went back and added.
"Remember to go through the door next time you come. I have asked JARVIS to remember you. At least give my security system some dignity."
"Walk through the door too slowly."
"This is my home."
"Then you can study the space door."
Tony The corners of his mouth twitched.
He couldn't refute it.
After all, for a person who can Space Jump at will, things like doors really have no value.
"Give me a contact number."
Tony pushed a transparent screen in front of Lucian.
"I will try to refine these rough stones first. As for the armor, what color, what shape, and how to arrange the weapon system will be discussed after I make a basic plan."
After Lucian asked Tony for a communicator, he disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was already floating in the sky above New York.
Most of the fire left by Battle of New York has been extinguished, and the cleaning work on the streets is still continuing. At this time, the earth seems peaceful, and there are only a few superheroes like Avengers on the surface.
But Lucian knows very well that there are many ghosts and monsters hiding in the dark.
Sorcerers, Inhuman, and those guys who have lived on the earth for thousands of years but have never made their identities public.
Several familiar faces flashed through my memory.
Lucian The corners of his mouth raised slightly.
All members of Eternals
"Eternals."
