A trip to the second dimension

"You didn't have to follow me."

In the City of Steel, in a machinery workshop that is very common here, Tony, wearing a white vest, is tinkering with the iron.

Behind him, Elle, who was sitting on the workbench, lifted up his goggle mask, looked at the delicate gadget in his hand, and then looked at Tony who was hammering the iron carefully in front of him and suddenly spoke.

The two have been living together for a while. After spending one night in Ola Town that day, Elle was originally prepared to leave Tony there.

After all, the place he wants to go next is likely to become a frontline battlefield in a few days, and it really can't be said to be safe.

But for some unknown reason, Tony had a very tough attitude and wanted to follow him to the City of Steel.

And after the two of them talked along the way, Elle gradually discovered that Tony really seemed to have nothing in this world, but even so, he did not ask about Tony's identity.

Perhaps out of intuition, or something else, he thought Tony was a person he could trust.

Moreover, this person seems to be really not a fool.

At least, he has never seen any fool with such mobility and intelligence as him.

On the way to the City of Steel, Tony Stark took into account the current situation and directly used Elle's drawing tools to draw a design for the steel suit in the car.

It was this design drawing that made Elle, a young mechanic, understand that what Tony said might not be nonsense, and that this man was really capable.

With the design drawing completed, the two arrived in the City of Steel and settled directly in a machine workshop, spending all their time every day making the gadgets on the drawing.

It is impossible to complete the weapons on the drawings in a few days, but fortunately in the City of Steel, other things may be lacking, but there is no shortage of machinery and metals.

Moreover, the steel suit that Tony wanted to make, or the individual soldier exoskeleton powered armor, although the corps has not used it on a large scale, there are still many similar torso parts.

The most common ones are the exoskeleton armor on the arms and legs. In some corps, it is even standard equipment.

Therefore, although Tony wanted to make it independently from start to finish.

But time is urgent, so we can only take those ready-made products and retrofit them.

Although there were still some aspects that left Tony dissatisfied, in any case, it did save him a lot of time.

"But I still followed you, didn't I? You can go to the front line as a child, there's no reason why I can't go."

Tony held a lollipop in his mouth, used a clamp to hold a piece of iron in front of him, and put it into the cold water to cool down.

Just hearing a "sizzling" sound, the highly heated patch entered the cold water. It was about to cool down and a large piece of steam floated from the water.

"You are quite capable. It seems that I underestimated you before."

Regarding Tony's answer, Elle was noncommittal and just turned to look at the steel suit standing aside that was almost completed.

Tony also looked at the big guy standing aside, with a smile on his face, but he said a little arrogantly: "Time and resources are too limited, otherwise, she can be even more perfect."

"I believe you, Tony." Elle smiled, and then said: "By the way, all the preparations can be completed before tonight, right?"

"Well, it's almost done." Tony said, installing the iron mask he had just knocked out onto the steel armor.

"Dangdang"

Raising his hand and tapping on the mask, Tony lowered his gaze to the chest of the suit. There was a circular hole there. There was nothing inside, and only some internal mechanical structures could be seen.

After thinking for a while, Tony added: "The only thing missing is this power core. The output efficiency of your steam engines is really low. With my method, you can operate 100% of all the energy of Pa Shi. Please call me." I'm a genius."

Seeing Tony's proud expression after turning around, Elle was silent for a while, then nodded and said seriously: "Although I don't want to admit it, you are right."

"What don't you want to admit? The output of the steam engine, or am I a genius?" Tony smiled, chewed the lollipop in his mouth, and threw the stick aside.

Ellie curled his lips and turned his head away from looking at Tony.

After a while, under Tony's smiling gaze, he said silently: "Want to go for a walk? Tomorrow, there may be a war."

"Okay, I accept your invitation, Mr. Elle." Tony smiled and rubbed Elle's head, but there was some nervousness and inexplicable fear in his heart.

"It is now certain that the war should start tomorrow, but I don't know the specific situation yet, and my friends don't have good intelligence either."

The two of them left the machine shop and walked on the spacious road.

In the past, such a spacious road would have been rare to see.

However, as the war was approaching, most of the residents in the Steel City had been emptied out and were instead taken over by the army and military logistics.

Some other citizens in the city, like Tony and the others, had signed up as volunteers a few days ago and joined the war in various capacities to do their part to defend their homes.

"Are those monsters you mentioned strong?"

Although he had decided to participate in this inexplicable war, this sentence still fully showed Tony's confusion.

Why did he make this heroic decision?

"Very strong, we have almost never won in large-scale wars." Ellai said, a little silent.

"No, no! I don't want my dad to leave!"

On the street next to him, a little girl cried heartbreakingly. She hugged the legs of a soldier of the Blade Corps tightly, and the whole little person was dragged on the ground, which was distressing.

Her mother squatted next to the girl, but she could only hold the girl at this time. She was already in tears, but she didn't say a word.

Because she knew that no matter what she said now, it would only embarrass her husband, but it couldn't change anything.

"Sorry, I have to go, that's my responsibility, don't worry, when the war is over, I will take you to play, I won't lie to you."

In the end, the soldier still left to perform his reconnaissance mission, with responsibility and determination, and deep expectations.

Tony and Elle were also silent as they watched the scene on the roadside.

In the end, Elle sniffed, turned around and walked forward with a resolute expression. His words came with the evening breeze: "Let's go. This is a very common thing. The fact that this family did not evacuate already represents their decision. We just need to do our best."
