The Death Knell

Banner was a little sluggish, and Tony was almost mentally ill. Before, he looked sullen as if he couldn't look down on anyone, but then he became passionate in an instant.

Is this a split personality?

But Tony didn't care what others thought. As a genius, the last thing he needed to worry about was what others thought.

He believes that the wisdom of mortals is similar to that of apes.

He pulled Dr. Banner to lie down next to the machine and started talking about the drawings. As a top genius in physics and engineering, Tony was very confident in helping Banner complete the equipment.

Ten minutes later, Tony gave concluding suggestions, but General Ross did not rush in and shoot.

"In general, if the experimental records are correct, gamma rays can indeed turn a creature green and larger." Tony stepped on the corner of the machine and pointed like a bandit: "Made with lead and Adamantium alloy The perfect filter can ensure the level of radiation.”

"But now the problem is here." Banner raised two disc-shaped parts with his left and right hands respectively. One has densely packed small eyes, and the other has several fist-sized holes: "I call it rectification. Covers, what you call filters, you need 30 in total, I designed two types..."

Tony waved his hand to interrupt Banner's words. He pulled down the sleeves of his shirt, took the suit from Obadiah and put it on. He was done feeling happy and it was time to leave.

"Choose a filter with a small diameter. Believe me, this instrument cannot withstand high energy levels due to material problems. If you choose a filter with a large hole, it will explode, and then all of you will become a The radioactive green water in the beach means that those who collect the corpses can only use straws, and you can’t use coffins for burials and can only use lead cans.”

Tony smiled and told a joke about radiation, as humorous as ever.

"Uh...really?" Banner took it seriously, and his hand holding the equipment started to shake.

Tony blinked at him and raised his eyebrows: "Basically, people who die in physics experiments don't have whole bodies. Okay, put down your research and come to New York with me. I'll invite you to hang out with General Ross. Play and adjust your relationship?"

"No, not today. The military will get the next experimental results today..." Although Banner was a little moved, considering that the military had so much money and so many guns, he still decided Sighing: "And I haven't been good at showing up at parties since I was a kid. They called me Frankenstein, an uninvited guest."

He rubbed his hair that looked like a ball of weeds, adjusted the small glasses on the bridge of his nose, and showed an awkward yet polite smile.

Tony said "Hmm", looked at Banner who looked like a weird doctor in the sewers, and then gestured to himself wearing a high-end suit and smelling good.

The other party is indeed a bit of a Frankenstein.

"You can clean up your appearance when you have time. If a scientist wants to sell his invention, he must deal with the upper class. Our country pursues a very shallow and ignorant set of values. Everyone will judge people by their appearance, and as a smart person , there is no need to fight against society.”

Perhaps because Banner could keep up with his genius thinking, Tony rarely spoke seriously, and he thoughtfully helped the other person think about it.

"I... don't have time or money." Banner smiled harder, took off his eyes and rubbed his face up and down with his hands.

"Then pretend I didn't say it." Tony twisted his mouth and twisted his mustache to one side: "If I give you money, it will be an insult to your scientist personality... But if you have a chance, you can come to Stark If you work in a group, I will let you be the director of the physics laboratory, with a salary of 30 million per year, plus bonuses and employee benefits, including a top-notch sports car and a sea-view villa."

Banner's eyes suddenly widened. He helped the military do this, and the military only gave him tens of thousands of dollars. It took several years of work, and the conditions of the Stark Group were too generous, right?

"Dollars?"

Tony's face was filled with confusion. He patted the slight wrinkles on his suit: "We are in the United States. Did you think I was talking about 30 million Vietnamese dong?"

"Dollars! That's too much..."

Banner couldn't imagine the concept of thirty million dollars. Even though he was currently working on a military project, he didn't have any funds in his hands. He said what he needed, and the military purchased it themselves.

Tony smiled and raised his chin, fully demonstrating the reserve of a rich man: "Your knowledge and thinking are worth the price. You should put them into more valuable causes instead of accompanying the military in the Cold War." That one."

Banner blinked and was silent for a while: "What do you mean by this?"

"I mean, it's the 1990s, and the military still wants to copy a modified person like Captain America? Hahahaha..." Tony laughed at Obaday behind him, as if he had heard a joke Likewise, Obaday laughed naturally, but Tony suddenly made a serious face: "It's outdated. This project of yours has been outdated from the beginning. I thought everyone in this country knew that my father invented the atomic bomb. Because since then From that moment when the mushroom cloud rises, personal power is nothing in the face of truly destructive weapons."

Banner's head suddenly shook like a rattle, and he said very seriously: "Tony, I don't agree with your point of view, because there is no limit to the evolution of biology. Even now, our understanding of the brain is still limited. Close to zero. So modifying the organism itself is definitely a very promising method."

Tony crossed his arms and said calmly: "You are only worth twenty million dollars now because of your rigid thinking. I have been developing a new weapon recently. It only needs to be fired once and it can destroy New York in three seconds." The area has been wiped off the map. Tell me, how many Captain Americas do you need to use the technology of cyborgs, and how long does it take to achieve the same effect? ​​You know which one the military is more willing to choose, right?"

"You can't just look at things this way." Banner said with a frown. He took off his glasses and didn't look at Tony, but he didn't stop talking: "Biotechnology can not only be used in the military, but it can also improve the human body." To move our species forward, you see only financial gain and no sense of social responsibility as a scientist."

Tony sighed, rolled his eyes and looked at the ceiling:

"Ten million, no more. I thought you would be a more practical person if you were willing to work for the military. If you don't have money, how can you do research? Just rely on your less and less hair? I'll put my I can use my wisdom to make high-tech weapons, sell the weapons for money, and the money can support my next research. At the same time, I can use it to build schools, make donations, and help society. This is what a scientist should do. "

What can Banner say about Tony? He felt that he was running out of words, but he turned around and walked to the equipment aside: "I don't care, anyway, I think living things have infinite possibilities. You are wrong."

"Tch, I know you can't communicate with someone like you who is also studying biology. Your brains are broken. Anyway, think about what I said when you use living people as test subjects." Tony turned and left. Forget about letting Banner come to work: "Uncle Obaday, let's go, invite General Ross to go to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York to enjoy life, and let this Frankenstein die here!"

As he spoke, Tony peeked at Banner behind him from the corner of his eye. If Banner admitted his mistake and surrendered, he wouldn't mind taking him with him. After all, Banner was indeed a genius, and Tony liked to play with geniuses.

However, Banner had no emotional intelligence. Just like Tony, he just immersed himself in installing parts for the machine:

"Hmph! Scientists who have been eroded by capital are no longer the hope of mankind. I want to go with you!"

Tony was also angry. He walked away angrily, his leather shoes clattering on the floor as he walked away. He even shouted:

"Hmph! Anyway, remember my words, use a small filter if you don't want to die! Goodbye!"

"It's the fairing! Goodbye!"

Banner was also very angry. It didn't matter if Tony insulted him, but he couldn't insult his project! He accepted the military project because he was really optimistic that biological evolution could be helpful to mankind.

Helping the military make weapons is not his purpose. What he wants is to find an opportunity for humans to evolve again, and it is best not to become bigger or green.

He couldn't talk to Tony, who was now obsessed with money.

A moment later, General Ross came in with Betty. Although his expression was still very angry, at least he didn't have a gun in his hand.

"I'm going out with Mr. Stark and taking Betty with me. What did he tell you before?"

Banner was a little afraid of General Ross, but Betty secretly cheered him up behind her father and waved her small fists, and he relaxed a little: "He suggested that I use a small diameter one."

General Ross was noncommittal. He just nodded calmly: "Although he is very rich and is the most famous physicist in the United States, don't blindly follow his judgment, you know? If your project fails, the military's funding will be lost." Don’t use it to purchase finished weapons from Stark Industries, maybe he is just lying to you and misleading you to make you fail.”

"He...no, Tony wouldn't be that kind of guy."

Banner was confused and frowned.

In this case, why did you invite Tony here? Aren't you still as confused as before? !

In fact, it was purely because Ross didn't know Tony was so annoying before they met! It made people want to tear his mouth apart.

When he invited Ross to have dinner with him just now, Tony actually said that Betty and Banner's children should have very high IQs in the future, but he suggested not to study biology.

How could a devil let his daughter and Banner have a child? ! !

Although Ross looks calm on the outside, he is already furious in his heart: "I'm just guessing. In short, you are the person in charge of this project. Use your own knowledge to judge."

Ross turned around and pulled Betty away. Although he wanted to stay and threaten Banner to stay away from his daughter, and he didn't want to go to some British aristocratic brunch at all, Tony was still waiting on the helicopter.

Eating with military suppliers has become a political task. It is impossible not to go. This is also a kind of involuntary decision.

Even as a soldier, necessary entertainment is still indispensable after becoming a general. There is no way. Even if the military wants to get rid of the influence of Stark Industries, it is still the largest arms supplier to the US military.

Hammer Industries, which was supported by the military, was always outclassed by Stark and his son in terms of scientific research. There was a clear gap in the quality of weapons. Even if you wanted to be partial, you couldn't do this.
