Chapter 6: My name is Jean Grey
Tony didn't know why Alex called him that.
But it didn't matter.
Because he was an Iron Man, and he is an Iron Man.
"Hello, the greatest writer of the century."
Tony returned Alex's greeting and continued: "I must admit, you are not only a talented writer."
"You seem to have a lot of faith in Stark Industries after daring to plunge into their stock under such circumstances."
Every word was a compliment to Alex, and every word was about Stark Industries.
But anyone could hear Tony praising himself in disguise.
I must say that Tony was quite narcissistic, but at the same time he had the capital to be so extravagant.
Pepper and Happy were used to it, and Alex thought it didn't matter.
Because according to Alex, if he had Tony's abilities, he could be even crazier than him.
Is it possible to call yourself a young man if you are not energetic?
If you are not energetic in your youth, then you are not energetic in your old age.
Alex also boasted, "I trust my vision more than Stark Industries.
"I've seen your Terminator, the robot environment in it is very innovative, and to be honest, my Mark battle armor was inspired by it."
Tony's comment made Alex wince.
He couldn't imagine that his own copy of the text had accidentally affected Tony's "Mark" battle armor.
"But Jarvis is not so good there, if I were in his place, he would have no chance of rebellion."
Tony continued with great confidence.
Jarvis was absolutely devoted to him, he could vouch for it with his life.
As long as it was an AI created by him, he was 100% subordinate to humans.
There will be no such situation as in the movie "Terminator", where Skynet destroyed the whole world.
Alex Rain smiled an indifferent smile.
Just wait until you punch yourself in the face, what you will create in the future will be much scarier than Skynet.
Pepper felt that Tony was saying a lot more today.
This was not often seen in the presence of a person with whom he had just met.
Perhaps it was a sympathy between two geniuses.
According to Pepper, Alex and Tony belonged to the same type of geniuses, only in different fields.
"Okay, Pepper, there are some partners from Stark Industries over there, come and talk to them."
"I'm not going there."
Pepper looked in the direction Tony was pointing, there were indeed several people who were partners of Stark Industries.
But that was all before.
But a deal is a deal, and Pepper understood that, and apologizing to Alex, she walked past.
Then Tony turned his head and took out a pair of car keys: "Happy, my car doesn't seem to be parked today, so go park it for me."
"All right, Tony."
Alex's eyes narrowed, did Tony separate from Pepper and Happy?
Although he didn't know what Tony was up to, Alex didn't interrupt Tony.
When Happy and Pepper left, Tony took his glass, sat down at the bar and said to the beautiful barmaid: "Whiskey, please."
Not forgetting to wink at the pretty barmaid.
"Today's girls, they're all very cute."
"Right,... um..."
Tony thought for a moment before remembering Alex's name.
"Yes, I would still be talking to them right now if you hadn't stumped them all."
"Go on with what you want from me."
"I wanted to ask you, what kind of energy technology did that group of robots use in your Terminator worldview?"
"Do you think there is a possibility to reproduce this energy technology in reality?"
Tony spoke out and felt relieved.
He thought he must be crazy to ask such a question to a science fiction author.
But there was no way out at the moment.
Although Jarvis was experimenting with new elements, Tony understood that none of the elements existing on Earth could be used as a substitute for palladium.
That is, as long as he was still using the Ark reactor to sustain life.
The symptoms of palladium poisoning were overwhelming.
It remained only to slowly wait for death.
The sensations were so excruciating that Tony would have tried to do anything to save himself.
Even if it was in a science fiction novel.
From the way Tony was acting now, Alex guessed what Tony wanted to know.
After all, at this stage, the only thing that bothered Tony was the symptoms of palladium poisoning.
"In fact, the technology you currently possess has far surpassed the Terminator's energy technology."
"As for whether this can be achieved, this question should be decided by you, a brilliant scientist, and not by me, a science fiction writer."
Then Tony's face was covered with a haze, and the pretty barmaid only smiled bitterly in response, handing him a drink.
As Alex said, he had tried it for a long time.
The result was the same, the radioactive element he needed was still palladium.
The reason he reached out to Alex was to try to see if he could get a different answer from him.
The result didn't really matter.
The other path to life was closed.
"Thank you for answering this question for me, Alex."
Tony picked up his glass and shook Alex's hand before walking off in the direction of the exit.
"Why are you leaving without waiting for me to finish my sentence?"
Alex looked puzzled.
Did Tony pose?
But there was nothing surprising in this, after all, Tony was completely incapacitated by palladium poisoning.
He transferred all his shares to Pepper's Stark Industries, and gave the Mark combat armor to Rhodes.
He began to calmly wait for death.
If Tony hadn't left so quickly, Alex would have wanted to give him some advice.
"Never mind, there's an opportunity for that later."
Alex continued to sit at the bar, while several other people came up to say hello, until a girl with fiery red hair appeared in the center.
In an instant, she was the center of attention.
Unlike Alex, most people showed fear of the red-haired girl.
Everyone consciously left the zone of her physical influence.
Alex also noticed that she was approaching him, so much so that she made several girls who were ready to approach him turn around and leave.
A red-haired girl approached Alex, held out her hand and introduced herself: "Hello, Mr. Alex."
"My name is Jean Grey, and I'm a fan of yours."
