“Sorry, sorry.” Lin Zhongtian squeezed out of the crack, patted the wrinkles on his clothes that were squeezed out by the crack, and said awkwardly, “This is my first time traveling through space in this way. I’m not very skilled, so I’m a little late. I didn’t make you wait too long, did I?”
"……No."
Tony stared at him blankly and couldn't help asking, "Who are you?"
"Just an apprentice in pursuit of knowledge..."
Lin Zhongtian replied casually, then glanced at the symbols carved under his feet and snapped his fingers lightly.
Instantly, the symbol under his feet glowed with a silver-grey light, and then slowly faded away like a pencil mark being erased by an eraser.
This complex symbol, which looks like several twisted lines combined together, is an iconic symbol he created for the void after studying dimensional magic and using the mystical knowledge he learned.
Lin Zhongtian named it [Seal of the Void].
The Seal of the Void represents the void where his main consciousness is located. As long as someone draws this symbol, his main consciousness can sense it at the first moment even if they are separated by billions of worlds.
At the same time, the place where the seal of the void is engraved will become the territory connected to the void gap.
In this territory, Lin Zhongtian's main consciousness authority can function without hindrance.
Of course, this does not mean that Lin Zhongtian can invade and annex other worlds in this way.
It is more like an embassy in the human world. Although it enjoys the right to be treated as the territory of the sending country under international customary law, this does not mean that the territory where the embassy is located will become the territory of the sending country.
The embassy will be closed by the sovereign state, and the Seal of the Void can naturally be dispelled by other forces.
But no matter what, the Seal of the Void is still a very practical ability for Lin Zhongtian today.
This time, Lin Zhongtian quickly returned to the void gap through the Seal of the Void.
Then he came from the gap in the void to the place where Tony carved the Seal of the Void.
Of course, if we only talk about the Marvel world, the portal in Kamar-Taj is more convenient.
But the Void Seal is better in that it can travel across worlds, and that kind of spark-shaped portal is not as cool as the space cracks that are directly torn by authority...
Looking at Tony and Pepper who were still in shock, Lin Zhongtian coughed lightly and turned to look at the computer array in the garage.
"Is this the supercomputer you were going to give me?"
“…That’s right.”
Tony recovered from his shock and said proudly while looking at the huge computer: "Stark Industries' Foresight supercomputer has a computing power of 523.6 trillion floating point operations per second, ranking seventh among the world's supercomputers!"
"Of course, this is the official ranking of supercomputers. In fact, all major countries and multinational corporations have supercomputers that are more powerful than the world's number one 'Jaguar' - after all, 'Jaguar' is just a supercomputer dedicated to solving meteorological and renewable energy problems?"
Tony shrugged his shoulders and looked sarcastic.
Lin Zhongtian understood what he meant. After all, one of the most important and famous applications of supercomputers is the development of high-tech weapons and experiments to simulate nuclear weapon explosions.
Tony pointed to the four containers next to the computer group and said, "Inside that is a complete set of holographic projection equipment I prepared, but it may be a bit troublesome to install. Do you need my help?"
"unnecessary."
Lin Zhongtian shook his head, then turned to look at Tony and said, "What about Friday's program?"
Tony gestured to Pepper to hand the USB flash drive to Lin Zhongtian.
"It's all in here, including the instructions and user manual for the holographic projection equipment."
"very good."
Lin Zhongtian nodded with satisfaction.
Tony asked curiously, "How are you going to move them?"
Lin Zhongtian glanced at him and waved his hand lightly, and the huge computer group in front of him disappeared instantly.
“…Wow!”
Tony's mouth twitched, and he found that his knowledge was still a little shallow in front of this mysterious person.
Lin Zhongtian checked the computer group in the space ring, nodded, and extended his hand to Tony.
“It’s been a pleasure working with you.”
“…”
Tony shook hands with him with a strange look on his face, and suddenly said, "I don't know your name yet."
"Lin Zhongtian, just call me Lin."
Lin Zhongtian said with a smile, then stretched out his finger and drew the Seal of the Void in the air, preparing to leave.
But before leaving, Lin Zhongtian suddenly remembered the plot of "Iron Man 2" and turned to look at the two of them.
"Let me guess. You guys are planning to go to Monaco to participate in a charity race organized by the racing club?"
"..." Tony and Pepper looked at each other, "Yes, how did you know?"
“I’ll watch the news.”
Lin Zhongtian said with a smile, then took out a gray mist coin and handed it to Tony.
"Take it with you, it will bring you good luck, Mr. Stark."
“…”
Looking at the white jade coin engraved with the Seal of the Void in Lin Zhongtian's hand, Tony couldn't help but look hesitant.
"Let me do it." Pepper took the white jade coin with a smile, "He is a weird guy. He doesn't like to take things handed to him by others."
I almost forgot that Tony has this quirk...
Lin Zhongtian suddenly realized, then smiled indifferently, turned around and disappeared into the silver crack.
When the silver cracks disappeared from his sight, Tony curled his lips and said, "Weirdo... Compared to him, I'm really not a weirdo, am I?"
Pepper smiled, stuffed the white jade coin in her hand into Tony's shirt pocket, and then left the garage with him.
At the same time, on the wall in the corner of the garage, an inconspicuous miniature camera was flashing an imperceptible red light.
…
In Malibu, California, in a safe house belonging to S.H.I.E.L.D.
Natalie, wearing a black business suit, sat in a chair, staring at the laptop in front of her with a frown.
Playing on the screen was the surveillance footage from the basement garage at Tony Stark's coast villa.
In the picture, a man in a black hooded sweatshirt walked out of the silver crack, talked to Tony and Pepper for a few words, and then the computer group in the garage suddenly disappeared.
Seeing this scene, Natalie, or S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Natasha Romanoff, felt her pupils shrink suddenly. She couldn't help but move closer to the laptop screen, wanting to slow down the surveillance video to see what had just happened.
But no matter how she slowed down the video, she couldn't find any clues.
It seemed as if the man had simply waved his hand, and all the computer groups disappeared into the garage.
"Now the situation becomes complicated..."
Natasha leaned back in her chair, mumbling to herself.
She was originally ordered to lurk in Stark Industries and collect intelligence related to Tony Stark to see if he was qualified to join S.H.I.E.L.D. or the super team that S.H.I.E.L.D. was about to form.
By the way, let's see if Tony is troubled by palladium poisoning as they expected.
If so, she will show up at the right time and help Tony solve the problem of palladium poisoning.
After all, Iron Man Tony Stark is a very important part of the plan of the black bald one-eyed dragon. SHIELD cannot sit idly by and watch him lose himself or die from palladium poisoning.
At the beginning, Natasha's investigation went very smoothly. She found that Tony became absent-minded about everything, seemed to be worried about a lot, and also showed a certain degree of self-destructive tendencies.
This shows that he has realized that he is suffering from the problem of palladium metal poisoning, but has not yet found a suitable solution.
Just when Natasha was about to get closer to Tony Stark to see how serious his condition was and then decide whether to show up in front of him, Tony Stark suddenly returned to his previous appearance.
It seemed that he had completely solved the problem of palladium poisoning.
This couldn't help but arouse the curiosity of Natasha and SHIELD.
Coincidentally, Tony Stark appointed his personal assistant Pepper Potts as the CEO of Stark Industries. Natasha took the opportunity to apply for an interview for the personal assistant position as a newcomer in the legal department of Stark Industries.
This led to the scene where Natasha appeared in the garage just now.
Looking at the mysterious hooded man on the screen, Natasha was thoughtful.
If she guessed correctly, it was this man who cured Tony Stark of palladium poisoning.
And this huge supercomputer in the garage is the reward for the hooded man after he cured Tony.
"who is he?"
"What does he need a supercomputer for?"
Natasha pondered for a moment, reported the news to her superiors, then closed her notebook and prepared to fly to Morocco to look for clues from Tony Stark first.
As for the identity of the mysterious man on the screen, let’s leave it to the black bald one-eyed man to investigate!
