Luke didn't get out of bed until the female artist ran out of energy and fell asleep in his arms.
Covering her with the blanket, he sat down on the sofa in front of the window and took out the two sketches from the special box to study them carefully.
Although he had already seen them a few times today, he was still very serious when he looked at them again.
The first drawing was of a huge office. Many of the staff were still in their positions, but dozens of people were holding guns as they confronted each other.
The most obvious person wasn't holding a gun, but a staff member who was being pointed at by several people.
The second drawing was of a huge mothership.
It was flying in the sky, and its hull was exploding all over. It was clearly under fierce attack.
But the cannons on its hull were firing wildly, and countless missiles were fired.
Clearly, it was fighting back with all its might while under fierce attack.
After a long silence, he put the two drawings into his inventory and looked out the window at the rainy night.
At the same time, the level-two clone finished searching for information and sent Tony a message with the coordinates of a small dock.
On the top floor of Stark Plaza, the tycoon, who was sleeping soundly with Pepper in his arms, was suddenly poked in the butt by something.
He instantly woke up.
He had to admit that the Qi Refinement technique that someone had given him was very metaphysical, but the effects were pretty good after he got started.
Recently, he only needed six hours of sleep to maintain his strength and keep his eyes and ears sharp.
The signs of insomnia were long gone.
However, it was still rare for someone to poke him in the butt in the middle of the night.
Turning his head, he was stunned for a moment before he said in a low voice, "Dummy?"
A silly robot arm let out a soft whine and pointed to the other side.
Tony looked over and saw a virtual screen at the door. It was the message that Luke had sent him.
He immediately understood, and quietly got up and left the bedroom.
A moment later, a transparent figure ran through the sewers, not forgetting to complain, "Bruce definitely doesn't have a girlfriend to sleep with, or he wouldn't be so inconsiderate. Does he have to be so mysterious for me to crawl into the sewers in the middle of the night? "
That being said, he obediently took the "top secret route" and crossed Manhattan to the east to reach a certain dock.
He sent out the arrival signal, and the diving yacht quickly arrived.
Tony did not remove his invisibility and directly stepped into the opened cabin door.
The cabin door closed, and the yacht turned and headed for the sea.
Inside the cabin, Tony looked at the second generation master's handsome face and curled his lips, but when he saw the other's home clothes, he felt satisfied.
The Young Master had rushed over in a T-shirt and pajama pants. He didn't want to be with a pretentious criminal in a suit.
The yacht wasn't Tony's territory, so there was no place for him to store his armor.
He simply removed his invisibility, took off his mask, and sat down next to Luke. "What's the matter? Did you have to wake me up in the middle of the night?"
Luke poured him some wine. "Have a sip first, or I'm afraid you won't be interested in drinking anymore."
Tony's expression turned solemn. He took a light sip and put down the cup. "Speak."
Luke asked, "Is SHIELD's mothership still under construction?"
Tony nodded. "I think so. But since you said that there is Hydra in S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick's mind is not on it. "
Luke asked, "How's the construction progress? How long will it take before it can take off?"
Tony thought for a moment, but still shook his head. "I only helped them modify part of the power system at the beginning. I fooled them a few times later on. I really don't know the progress."
Luke stared at the tycoon quietly and didn't say anything.
A few seconds later, Tony couldn't take the "merciless contempt" anymore, and raised his hand in surrender. "Okay, they're the ones who keep everything a secret from me, and want me to come up with a lot of new technology to modify the mothership. I won't let them do that."
Satisfied, Luke looked away. This was more in line with the tycoon's temper.
Tony, who was arrogant and pampered, was a top rich man and a top scientist.
The tycoon would never accept using him but excluding him at the same time.
For example, when Luke gave Tony the credit for the Bat Squad, Tony had refused the first time.
That was because the battle in New York was Tony's business, and he shouldn't have taken Batman's reward.
The second time, Tony had helped Batman out in Great Creek City. This time, he took the credit again, and was satisfied that he was under Batman's control.
This was a credit to Luke for taking him seriously.
Also, since the tycoon could use the Bat Squad's credit, he hadn't hidden any information about the Bat Squad from him.
Besides, Luke had given the tycoon so many benefits, but hadn't asked him for much, so it wasn't good for Luke to haggle.
Tony was very generous to his friends.
Thinking that, he said, "But according to my calculations, the mothership should be completed, and the test flight can be carried out at any time. By the way, it's at least two generations more technologically advanced than the one in the battle in New York. The officials obtained a lot of things from the Chitauris during the battle in New York, such as the power system, which they used as the core of the Chitauris' big bug warships. "
Luke's eyes narrowed. "How powerful is it?"
Tony said, "Once it's up, this third-generation mothership can directly ascend into low-Earth orbit. Unless there are special circumstances, it theoretically won't need to land again. "
Luke was lost for words. Wasn't this just a combination of an aircraft carrier and a super battleship?
After a brief silence, he said, "Then the problem this time might be bigger than I thought."
Tony: "Huh?"
He then understood, and his expression turned ugly. "There's a problem with this thing?"
Luke nodded. "Hydra might be after it, whether it's to destroy it or steal it. If it falls into Hydra's hands, what do you think will happen? "
Tony's expression was extremely ugly. "It's an air fortress. Even if it's a one-time use, the weapons on it can cover more than half of the United States. Even if it's shot down … "
If such a behemoth fell from the sky, the countless munitions and energy on it would turn it into a "Schrodinger's weapon of mass destruction."
It would be fine if it didn't explode, but if it did, an entire city would be buried with it.
Also, it would definitely take off from the special district. Who the hell would dare make it fall?
Naturally, Luke didn't need to explain the seriousness of the matter. The tycoon knew more about integrity than he did.
He simply said, "This is information I got from certain sources, and it's very accurate. It's possible that Nick Fury's actions have triggered Hydra's vigilance, and they might not be able to wait any longer. "
Tony was silent as his mind raced.
He knew that the Joker had been dealing with SHIELD's Hydra recently.
And Batman had said that the Joker was a "passerby."
A "passerby" who had been beaten up by a Dark Knight? That was something worth pondering.
After a brief silence, he said, "What do you want me to do?"
Luke said, "I'm telling you in advance, in case you blame someone else when you can't catch up."
Don't think I don't know what you mean! Tony snorted inwardly. "… That mothership is at SHIELD HQ in the special district."
Luke said, "I know. It's at the exit, in the lake at HQ."
Tony fell silent again.
