Listening to Dr. Hansen's information, both Luke and Tony had strange expressions on their faces.
By the time she finished, Luke had already stared at the tycoon for a while with a complicated look in his eyes, and he finally expressed his thoughts. "So, um … we can't be too wicked."
Tony's expression changed, and it took him a few seconds to curse, "Fuck Q!"
As for who that Q was, it was a matter of opinion.
What made the two of them behave like this was naturally because Dr. Hansen told them about the love and hatred between Killian and Tony.
It was 1999 in Bern, Switzerland, and on Christmas Eve, Tony slept with Dr. Hansen and saw her research project, Project Desperation.
Using dendritic cells to complete the reprogramming process of the human body can allow people to "grow" missing parts like plants.
After Tony gave Dr. Hansen the injection, he wrote down a formula that had a flash of inspiration in his mind. He solved the key problem in the desperate situation plan and left.
This was nothing more than a one-night stand in his life of fooling around for more than a decade, and it was nothing new.
So Tony completely forgot that he maliciously stood another person up before he returned to his room with Dr. Hansen that night.
That person was Killian.
Killian, who had been on the rooftop all night in the cold wind, didn't wait for his idol Tony Stark to come, and he deeply felt what despair was.
But he accidentally discovered Dr. Hansen's Desperation Plan, reached a cooperation with her, and then took the Desperation Plan to look for investments.
Killian succeeded, so there was the current Pioneer Technology (AIM).
But in a sense, he hasn't fully succeeded yet.
Project Desperation is still not complete, and Dr. Hansen can't solve the out-of-control situation of Extremis.
People who are injected with Extremis are likely to inexplicably lose control and explode during high-speed regeneration.
This is the truth of the bombing that Tony found out about the deaths of retired soldiers.
They didn't die from anything else, they themselves were living explosives, the kind that would blow up if they wanted to.
Dr. Hansen went to Tony to ask him to help fix the defects in Extremis.
But unlike her, the developer, Killian's feelings for the tycoon were unforgettable, and he simply wanted to use Pepper to force Tony to complete Extremis.
Even if the plan failed, he would kill Tony.
Because according to Dr. Hansen's division, those who are prone to self-destruct are only in the first stage and cannot be regarded as a success.
At the second stage, self-destruction basically doesn't exist, and it can be regarded as a success.
Killian was in the third stage, and not only would he not self-destruct, but he could also control Extremis freely.
For Killian, who was a cripple at the beginning, this result was perfect enough.
Moreover, after the S.H.I.E.L.D. incident, he seemed to have found a bigger backer. Pioneer Technology had ample funds and manpower.
With his full support, Dr. Hansen has developed inhibitors that can inhibit the rampage of Extremis to a certain extent.
Thus, Killian only valued whether he could get a solution from the tycoon, but he wouldn't let him live just because of it.
In any case, there were so many disabled people in the world, and there were enough potential targets to choose from. At most, they would just have to use human lives to increase the success rate.
This was the difference between R&D personnel and Capitalists.
Dr. Hansen wanted to pursue a perfect work of art that would go down in history.
Killian, on the other hand, only needed a suitable product. Having flaws would make it easier for him to control his subordinates.
Killian was Wan, Killian, and Killian, King Tony, Killian and Killian., Han Killian Kilof Killian.
Therefore, this was all Tony's doing.
Without the key formula he left behind, Dr. Hansen would never have been able to come up with an experimental Extremis in a short time.
If he hadn't stood Killian up, Killian might not have met Dr. Hansen.
Or even if he had, Killian might not have been able to wait for Extremis to succeed.
On the other hand, there was nothing much to say about Killian picking on Tony.
According to Dr. Hansen's description of Killian's character, even if Tony cared for him, he would still deal with him.
Capital doesn't talk about feelings, it only talks about interests.
For the sake of power and money, even direct blood relatives could turn against each other, not to mention a good project like the Desperate Plan that could reach the sky in one step.
After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, Luke let Tony go out and put the two prototypes in the kitchen back into Space 1.
Then, he gave Dr. Hansen an anesthetic injection and put her in Space 2.
This was to protect her.
God knows if Killian would turn against her and kill her.
He wasn't a tech geek like Dr. Hansen, and he wasn't that naive.
With the technology that Killian now had, Dr. Hansen was the biggest weakness of the Desperate Plan.
If she behaved herself, she could continue to be a researcher with peace of mind.
But as long as she jumped ship, she could come up with a second pioneering technology in minutes, and the inhibitor control method would also have huge hidden dangers.
Not to mention the fact that she had just come to tip off Tony, the old man.
If Killian really caught her, he would either lock her up as a research slave for the rest of her life or shoot her to avoid future trouble.
After settling Dr. Hansen down, Luke drove Tony back to the seaside villa.
Stark Industries' engineering team had already dug out the basement. Tony had to find his armor and take Luke to Killian's place to settle the score.
Ten minutes later, the sports car drove to a small farm on the outskirts of Los Angeles.
Opening the door of a warehouse on the farm, Tony looked at what was exposed inside and couldn't help but exclaim, "Are you kidding me?"
This was because there was actually a fighter jet parked in this old farm warehouse.
Tony could tell at a glance that it was a Quinjet.
But judging from the various parts, it wasn't brand new, and was definitely a second-hand modified product.
Tony got out of the car and walked into the warehouse. "You're just going to leave it here?"
Luke returned to the door and parked the sports car on the side. "Why not? In any case, it's a second-hand product from Nick Fury's clearance sale. Should I hire dozens of maintenance technicians for it? "
Tony was lost for words.
Of course he wouldn't hire them, because he didn't like such second-hand goods at all.
Of course, Luke wouldn't say that he had thrown the fighter jet into this safe house on his way over.
It had been in his inventory all this time, and he didn't need to worry about daily maintenance at all.
They got into the fighter jet, and Luke activated the stealth function before he left the warehouse in hover mode.
The huge wind pressure made the old warehouse unable to bear the burden. As soon as the fighter took off, it collapsed into a pile of debris with a rumble.
Tony: "… Let me guess, it was a bigshot who helped you throw it here, right?"
Luke: "Hehe."
Amid Luke's warm and elegant laughter, the Quinjet quickly took off and switched to cruise mode as it flew toward Miami, Florida.
…
Miami in July was very suitable for Selina.
It was often sunny, and not only could she sunbathe, it also had an average daily temperature of 25-32 degrees Celsius, which made everyone who came here feel extremely "warm."
Tony looked away from the greasy ladies on the beach and found it strange. "Do you … usually carry out missions like this?"
Luke calmly drove the yacht toward his target. "What else? I'll be annoyed to death if you fly around in your armor every day. "
Tony was speechless.
There was really nothing he could say to Luke, who would rather fly the Quinjet over in his armor in order to keep it a secret.
His paranoia was really incurable.
