The short film was recorded by Howard decades ago to introduce the Stark Expo. Because the Expo was suspended during this period, it was not released until now, decades later.
Chapter 62. Straight Ball: I only like you
Howard once recorded a short film, which not only introduced the expo and looked forward to the future, but also showed a city model.
This city model is important.
It contains a new type of atomic structure, which is the key to improving the Ark reactor and saving Stark's life.
When Lemu was dealing with Obadiah, he searched for it at the Stark Industries headquarters but didn't find it. Later, he accidentally found it in the Stark's basement warehouse.
There is another small problem with this model, it only has the atomic topology but no corresponding parameters. If someone else gets it, it is useless, and it is impossible to manufacture it if the atomic parameters cannot be analyzed.
As far as Lai Mu knew, Howard once left a box at SHIELD, which contained his notes, files, video materials, etc. The key data of the atomic model should be in the notes.
However, cheating players never take the usual path.
The Great Sage spent several days simulating, deducing the parameters from the model, going through billions of possibilities, and deducing the complete parameters of the atom. Then he successfully built a new energy Ark reactor in the underground studio.
Lemu still wants to get the box that Howard left at SHIELD. He thinks he might be able to find some clues about "that person" in it.
On TV, after the news about the expo was broadcast, the TV automatically jumped to a live broadcast of a hearing in Washington, where the old acquaintance Stark appeared again.
Stark received a court summons for possessing "high-tech weapons" and was notified to come over for a meeting.
Of course Stark didn't have to go.
At worst, he would be fined a few dollars a day like Te Meipo, which would only be 365 million US dollars a year. It was about the same as the money he spent on clothes for Lai Mu last year.
But how could he not go? Iron Man is not a coward!
On TV, Senator Stern, from the perspective of national security and people's safety, accused Stark of illegally possessing high-tech weapons and demanded that Stark hand over his iron armor.
However, Stark believes that he and the Iron Man suit are one, and handing over the suit means handing over himself, which is equivalent to labor or selling sex.
The participants included the military, ambitious entrepreneurs, congressmen, Hydra undercover agents, and Iron Man. In a small room, the five forces were fighting fiercely over the topic of buying Yin, and the debate was very exciting.
Lai Mu in front of the screen couldn't help but applaud.
Then, Justin Hammer presented a video showing that various countries and organizations around the world were researching the iron man suit, hoping to use it to bring public pressure and force Stark to hand over the technology for the sake of national justice.
Stark quickly counterattacked, blacked out the live screen, and showed another set of data on failed research by various countries and organizations, including a video of the Hammer Group nearly breaking a tester in half when they were replicating the Iron Man suit, and Justin himself was in the video.
Stark, who had the upper hand, stood in front of everyone, facing the camera, and shouted in a loud voice, "I alone can maintain world peace!"
Justin Hammer in the camera looked at Stark, then at Stern in the congressman's seat, his face was livid, his 25 million wasted. He cursed in his heart, fu*k U mom, give me back my money!
Congressman Stern's face turned red, and he cursed Hammer for his incompetence and the crappy evidence he had found.
The boat of friendship can capsize at any time. Some people fall in love, while others become enemies.
Lai Mu finished his breakfast and wiped the corners of his mouth.
If I have time in the afternoon, I will go to Stark's place. Although he looks lively on TV, he might be in a toilet right now testing blood toxicity, holding his fingertip pierced by the testing instrument with a wronged look on his face.
"So handsome."
Alice, who was standing beside him, said something casually while watching Stark shouting about maintaining world peace on TV.
handsome?
Lai Mu frowned, pursed his lips, and suddenly felt unhappy.
Everyone knows that the ingredients of slime are 66% aged vinegar and 44% starch.
He glanced at Alice, his tone as calm as boiled water, "Do you like handsome guys?"
Seeing someone's aggrieved look, Alice's lake blue eyes quietly showed a smile, "I don't like it. I would also say it's handsome when I see a ferocious big dog on the roadside, but I only like cute ones."
She looked at Slime seriously, her eyes full of genuine affection, "I like you, only you. I like your light blue hair, your cool little hands, your bouncy little face, and the slightly sweet smell of sugar water on your body."
Why did Alice know what Lemu smelled like? It didn't matter.
What’s important is that this sudden straight ball knocked someone unconscious quickly and powerfully.
It's like standing under a cherry tree and being drizzled by the light rain from the sky, feeling cool and refreshing, and the water vapor blowing in your face carries the sweet fragrance of flowers.
...No, no, you have to stay awake. This woman is just teasing you. Don't be fooled again!
Slime's heart was struggling madly.
Don't be fooled!
Poke…poke…
A finger tapped on the dazed Lai Mu's cheek, and the slime's face bounced, slightly concave, and then bounced out.
It was Alice who had an expectant look on her face.
"Hey, Master. Anyway, we have nothing to do these two days, why don't we go out and play? Remember the first time we met, you asked me to go to the zoo and the amusement park together, and you also asked for my phone number."
Looking at Alice's sparkling eyes, Lai Mu found that he had no ability to break free...
That's it...give up.
"…We'll leave in the afternoon. I'll go get ready. We'll go to Disneyland for a day, and then to St. Mungo's Zoo for a day."
Stark? Who is Stark?
……
The two days and one night with Alice were so enjoyable that Slime didn't even want to go home.
If Alice didn't have to go back to school on Monday, she might have been taken on a around-the-world trip by Lamu.
When Lai Mu returned alone to his luxurious seaside villa, looking at the empty room he finally remembered who Stark was.
Stark, isn't that the one who's about to die?
...Not very familiar, don't care.
/——————
It was delayed for another week before Lai Mu moved to Stark Villa.
It's rare that he has time to come and save people despite his busy schedule.
Lai Mu pushed open the door of the villa and went straight to the second floor.
"Welcome, Mr. Etxeberria."
Jarvis took the initiative to greet him.
In the living room, Stark and Pepper were kissing and hugging each other, and Jarvis's voice did not wake them up.
Lai Mu shouted maliciously, "Tony! I heard you were poisoned, I came to see if you are dead!"
Hearing Leimu's voice, Pepper shuddered and broke free from Stark's hands.
She hurriedly straightened her clothes, blushing and a little embarrassed, "Hi... Lai Mu, you're here, come and sit down."
Lai Mu leaned on the sofa, looking at the two of them, with a bit of teasing on his face, "It's okay, you can continue, I don't care."
"But I care."
Stark spread his hands and sighed uncomfortably, "Don't come to me if you have nothing to do, you annoying bastard."
"I didn't bother to come here because I had nothing to do. I just came here today to see if you were dead... Palladium poisoning doesn't feel good, does it?"
"How many days do you have left to live? If there's still time, transfer the inheritance to my name first. Otherwise, it will benefit others."
Chapter 63. Honor, Virtue, and Great Deeds (2.5K)
Lai Mu sat down on the sofa calmly.
He poured himself a glass of water without any hesitation and pulled out a few bags of blueberries from under the table.
Palladium poisoning?
Pepper was a little confused, "…wha…what poisoning?"
Her mind took a slow turn before she responded, and she grabbed Stark's shoulders anxiously.
"What palladium poisoning? Tony, what's going on? Lemu said you were poisoned?"
"Um... well, I... was just planning to talk to you. By the way, I'm planning to arrange the distribution of my inheritance... and other things."
Tony Stark hesitated. He waved his right hand in the air uncomfortably, racking his brains to come up with no decent excuse, so he could only admit it reluctantly.
"You're going to die? You're going to die? Why didn't you tell me!?"
Pepper's eyes immediately turned red, and tears flowed down her cheeks. She grabbed Stark's shoulders and squeezed them tightly. A weak woman who was powerless actually made Stark feel a little pain.
"Let go first, let go...if you want to talk, please talk..."
……
"I didn't want to say it so early...it's not easy to announce your own death."
There was a hint of gloom in Tony Stark's eyes. He forced a playful expression on his face while arranging the funeral affairs, trying to make the atmosphere look less sad.
"Pepper, the position of President of Stark Industries is now handed over to you."
A few months ago, Pepper was promoted to vice president of Stark Industries, so it is only right for her to take over the position of president now.
"As for the things I collect, antiques, paintings, artworks, etc...."
He waved his hand, drew a circle, and made a gesture as if to throw away everything.
"Donate half to the Boy Scouts of America, and the other half to any charity. It's just some tax-avoidance stuff anyway."
"If I die... the rest of my property will be divided into three parts. You keep one for yourself, one for Lai Mu, and the other as a charity fund."
"There will be some legal problems, but I think I should be able to designate my own successor."
"Oh right."
Stark reached out and tapped Lai Mu, smiling, "Even you have a girlfriend... If you beg me, I can give you a little more, as a gift for your future marriage. As someone who has been through this, I can tell you that when two people are together, the expenses will be much higher."
Lai Mu rolled his eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
'Even you have a girlfriend' What does this mean? You're going to bury me before you die?
