Anyway, in Stark's observation that day, Coulson, as a 'hero' who snatched food from the CIA for S.H.I.E.L.D., and managed to rescue Iron Monger and an LED lightbulb...
During those few days, he probably asked a lot about the little brat who was greedy for his girlfriend's body and stuffed movie peripherals everywhere.
However, it was from Howard's relics that Tony learned that reactor technology was not unique to his family, and that the physicist Anton Vanko on the blueprint had been sent to Siberia and lived for 40 years because of his father.
Especially two weeks ago, when Jarvis discovered with satellites that Anna had been staying in Siberia for many days, Tony knew that must be Anton Vanko's hiding place.
This was a blow to Stark, who was studying the new element Howard mentioned.
But the reason why superheroes are called superheroes is because they have their own bottom line.
So even though he clearly knew old man Anton's address, Tony had no intention of sending him into space with a missile, or flying there to kill everyone and then monopolizing the reactor technology.
However, after Anna passed the access control and came to the basement of her house, Tony's expression became less good.
Especially after he saw the two reactors in the little brat's hands, Stark's resentment had reached the sky.
"So... you are now on Anton Vanke's side..."
"Is that so? Anna."
"Hehe..." Facing Tony's expression of betrayal, Anna could only smile, "I don't take sides with anyone."
"I won't help either of you this time. Besides, you won't teach me the technology of the Ark Reactor...right?"
As she spoke, she surveyed the thick ring of pipes in Stark's basement. "Is this your new prismatic accelerator? It looks quite expensive."
"I won't let you learn any more skills from me, Anna." Tony looked at Anna asking questions like a curious baby, with a sour look on his face.
"Don't worry, don't worry... I don't need this stuff. I don't worry about palladium poisoning."
The little brat's words were sincere, because the power of the new element reactor was actually only upgraded from 80 billion joules of the palladium reactor to 100 billion joules. For her, this was nothing to covet.
Tony is now guarding against her like a thief.
Anna also waved her hand, and instead took out the two reactors she had made and handed them to Tony: "What do you think of the Vanke family's technology? I made this myself under his guidance..."
"Hmm... the first one has a lot of problems, and the speed isn't fast enough..."
Stark looked at the reactor in his hand, which showed obvious traces of handiwork, and then picked up the second one. "This second one is very interesting, but it's still not as good as the new element I'm going to make now..."
"So why are you here now, Ana? Just to show off that you can make a reactor now?"
"Or are you coming here to tell me that you're planning to enter the clean energy field that Stark Industries is transitioning to?"
……
Chapter 101 Superheroes Have Nothing to Hide
To be honest, Stark was very nervous about Anna coming to his door with the Ark Reactor.
Because his company is now in the most difficult time and needs the technology of the Ark Reactor to break through the siege.
But now, not only Russia has Vanke, but even Anna in the United States has mastered this technology, which puts him in a passive position.
If the Russians use commercial means, Tony has plenty of ways to deal with them, even if they have the reactor technology...
As the world's largest arms company in the past, Stark Industries also has a hundred ways to prevent the Russians from entering the market within the US sphere of influence.
But if Anna's family wants to enter the clean energy market, Tony has no good solution.
Because not only did they have Anna, the superhero, to support them, but Anna's mother also had a lot of connections in the US government. Tony couldn't stop them from entering the market.
This would be even more of a blow to Stark Industries, which had already offended many people.
"You don't have to worry so much..."
Anna, who knew what Tony was thinking, said, "Our reactor technology will neither be passed on nor used commercially..."
"I still have this bottom line."
Of course, if it is for personal use.
Then Tony has no control over it.
Anyway, after Tony knew that he would use the Ark Reactor to charge thousands of Iron Man, and that Lorraine's mother's underground base was full of Ark Reactors, one could only hope that Tony's heart was strong enough.
Anna is now a respectable person. She cannot let Stark design a Tesla electric car for her and then try to steal his charging station and new energy market business...
"So what are you doing here now? Just to say you won't enter the commercial market?"
Although Stark had let go of his worry that Anna's family would use the Ark reactor to steal his business, he was still brooding over Anna's "betrayal."
He used to regard Uncle Obaday as a relative... but he just betrayed him. He originally thought that Anna would be a new friend, but he didn't expect that this little brat who had been hanging out in his house for several weeks would turn around and run to Anton Vanko.
"Well... let's not talk about this anymore." After taking the reactor from Stark, Anna told him the real reason for her visit. "By the way... have you found the Red Worm base in the S.H.I.E.L.D. files, Tony?"
"I found clues about this base in the collected documents, but I can't find its exact address yet..."
After seeing the thoughtful kid in front of him talking about serious matters with him, Stark also explained his unsuccessful invasion of S.H.I.E.L.D.: "It seems that there is another layer of network hidden within the S.H.I.E.L.D. network. The truly valuable intelligence is all there."
"Also, the network architecture inside seems to be a little different from the operating systems on the market..."
Of course, that's for sure. SHIELD has a lot of alien technology in their hands, even though they nominally used the 'Slingshot' base to launch items into space after acquiring them.
However, those who knew about it knew that every time the Slingshot base launched a rocket, it was always a blank. Any alien artifacts found were either embezzled by Lu Dan or taken back by the Hydra inside.
So, in the lowest layers of SHIELD's network, they would definitely use a lot of alien technology. In some places, even the code might be alien.
And these agents sometimes use awesome things like paper documents and filing cabinets to deal with hackers who can only type on a keyboard.
After encountering these things, no matter how powerful Jarvis was, he would not be able to dig out any information from them.
In Anna's guess, the surface network of S.H.I.E.L.D. is actually used for daily office work, handling matters with a very low level of confidentiality, and also to fool the World Security Council.
And in S.H.I.E.L.D., whether it is the Lu Dan who is poaching people every day, or the Hydra, they actually have their own secret network running.
Moreover, a lot of highly secret intelligence was probably only recorded in the small black box in Lu Dan's hand. This thing couldn't even connect to the Internet, so Jarvis had no way to deal with it.
"I think you should change your mindset..." After learning that Stark's invasion wasn't going well, Anna could only offer him some advice: "We need the stuff from the 'Red Worm' base right now..."
"Change what mindset?" Tony asked.
"That depends on whether you consider yourself a superhero or a capitalist who is only interested in profit...Tony."
"Is there any difference? Both identities are me." Stark was a little confused about what Anna said, because to him, the two identities were now indistinguishable from each other.
"Of course there is a difference."
"If you consider yourself a superhero..." Anna said, "then you should do the same as me and go find Director Fury and have a straightforward talk. Because superheroes have nothing to hide."
"And if you consider yourself a capitalist, then continue to hide within the SHIELD network and wait for an opportunity to gain greater benefits..."
Call her arrogant or conceited, but for Anna, this superhero has no need to hide anything from others now that she has the power to protect herself.
She never hid her identity information at the beginning, and later on, she never concealed her intentions and positions.
When he was about to short Stark Industries stock, he had called Tony directly. Even now, after returning from Anton Vanke, he didn't try to hide it from Stark, or lie or deny it.
Even after returning from Afghanistan, she never thought of shooting down a Stark Industries satellite that was flying overhead.
So Anna's advice to Stark now is to find Director Lu Dan directly and let Mr. Gou talk to him directly.
She believed that with Tony Stark's importance to Lu Dan, the Kree potion in the 'Red Worm' base, and the technology of Dumdum Dugan's cloning experiment that she and Tony needed... these could all be obtained.
Because the difference between superheroes, agents and capitalists is that the latter two have countless secrets, and they rely on these secrets to survive.
But for superheroes, the less they hide, the more powerful they become.
Chapter 102 Kerry Potion Obtained
"I will talk to Director Fury. I will give you an answer tomorrow, Anna." Stark understood Anna's request for him to change his mindset.
During his time as a consultant to S.H.I.E.L.D., he had indeed been somewhat influenced by his previous capitalist mentality. He had never considered being forthright or open with his heart, and had always been secretly collecting information using Jarvis.
To be honest, after being a capitalist for more than 40 years, Tony was unable to quickly adapt to Anna's request for "fewer secrets and more honesty".
Someone like Anna, who had just come from her enemies' place, came to me... saying that Anton Vanke had become her teacher, and that she would not help either side in the feud between the two families...
This level of frankness... Stark really can't do it.
Although the little brat's actions did make him feel much better, and also alleviated his suspicion a little.
"That's it, Tony. You can come find me at my farm tomorrow. I'll be there for the next few days."
After seeing that Stark agreed to help her get the Kree potion, Anna decided to go home.
As she was about to walk out the door, Anna thought for a moment, turned around and said to Stark, "And you can talk to Director Fury... I owe him a favor this time."
It's not easy to owe a favor to a superman. Especially a favor to someone like Lu Dan, who thinks everyone is a bad guy and is extremely suspicious.
Anna could imagine what kind of trouble would come her way in the future.
……
……
The next afternoon, when Anna, Mai Mai, and Steve were sitting in front of the computer, selecting furniture for their underground base and ordering Iron Man parts online, Stark, who had just flown back from Washington, landed in Anna's yard.
"Wow! Is this the Mark Armor? Up close, it looks much cooler than what they showed on the news..."
When they arrived in the yard, Mai Mai admired Tony's cool Mark armor.
"So you want one?" Anna asked, "We should be able to build an armor like this now..."
"No, I don't want that kind of thing..."
Mai Mai looked at Tony approaching and said bluntly, "Because this method of trapping others and then rushing to the front line is stupid... In my eyes, it's just cool!"
"And you see, because people have to be placed inside... this armor not only reduces defense and increases the cost several times, but also, because it has to take into account the endurance of the people inside, it can't perform the mobility that only unmanned equipment can..."
"..."
Tony, who was walking over, turned pale when he heard the six-year-old Mai Mai seriously commenting on his Mark Armor.
"You can't say that, Mai Mai... Mark Armor still has its advantages."
Stark felt much better after hearing Anna defend herself.
But his expression didn't brighten up for two seconds before he was defeated by the little brat's next words.
"Although it has many shortcomings, being brittle and breakable... but as a high-tech prosthetic... this thing is still quite good..."
"Hey, hey... Is this what you think of my Mark Armor? Anna? A high-tech prosthesis?" Tony opened his face armor and quickly interrupted the little brat's complaints, because if he didn't speak up, he didn't know what would come out of Anna's mouth.
"Um... hello Tony. This is my friend McKenna Danvers... you can call her Mai Mai. Um, Mai Mai... this is the tool man Tony I was talking about yesterday. Grandpa Anton's injury is entirely up to him."
"And... Tony, this is the Mr. Steve I told you about..."
After Stark came over to the two of them, Anna introduced Tony and Mai Mai. At the end, she did not forget to introduce the dog to Stark at the reminder of the dog's paw.
"Hello! Miss Mai Mai..." Tony squatted down awkwardly and shook hands with the beautiful Mai Mai, and then he didn't forget the dog next to him, "Uh~ Hello! Mr. Steve..."
Stark, who suffered a height disadvantage, now felt a shortcoming of his Mark Armor: too many metal parts inside, resulting in insufficient flexibility...
So much so that when he met creatures like Mai Mai and Gou Zi, who were only slightly higher than the horizon... he found it difficult to squat down and shake hands with them.
Moreover, Stark has now discovered the origin of the red cloak that the dog is wearing... As this thing has passed through his hands once, he is very familiar with it as he has been thinking about it for several days.
So when he was shaking hands with the dog, Stark's face was crooked after thinking about how he spent a million to buy a hair of this dog...
"Woof~Woof!~" Steve, wrapped in a red cloak, looked so proud. He raised his paws and shook hands with Tony. After deliberately showing off the red cloak in front of him, he ran away.
In Anna's estimation, this guy was going to show off to Mr. Wick.
"Is this really what you think of my Mark Armor, Anna?" Seeing that Anna had no intention of welcoming him into the house, Stark could only stretch his neck and look around, trying to gather some information about Anna through the layout of the farm yard.
"Isn't this obvious? With the same cost, we can even build five robot soldiers that are better in both attack and defense... And for me, wearing your Mark armor is like wearing..."
"You're wearing a layer of paper... huh? It's really frustrating to talk to someone with super powers like you."
With a soft "puff" sound, Tony took out a tube of medicine from the opened leg armor and handed it to Anna: "Your strategy is very useful. Although we still don't have any information about Dumdum Dugan and the "Red Worm" base, Fury gave me some technical documents and this..."
"I guessed it would be like this..." After taking the potion, Anna looked at it towards the sun. After confirming that it did contain the blood of the Kree, she put it into one of her liquid nitrogen storage tanks.
Following the traditional division of labor at Ludan, not leaking any unnecessary information to Stark was the correct approach. After all, all she and Tony needed were the technology and a tube of potion.
Anna wasn't unhappy about this, nor was she as opposed to separate management as Captain America was, because for an organization like the Secret Service, which hides in the dark, separate management and secrecy are the basis of their survival.
"That's it then... Anna." After seeing the little brat put away the potion he had gotten, Stark took a few steps back, then flew away in front of the two little girls.
