Laura's Beautiful Journey

Tony woke up in a daze, and then wanted to stretch out comfortably. He couldn't remember the last time he had such good sleep quality.

Was it before the New York incident? Or before the kidnapping?

Another reason why he didn't dare to rest during this period of time was that once he fell asleep, endless nightmares would follow.

As soon as Stark's hand moved, he found himself trapped in a small dark space.

So, his nerves that had finally been relaxed for more than 20 hours became tense again. He raised his hands and groped around to determine where he was trapped. At this time, a female voice sounded in his ears:

"Good morning, Mr. Stark."

"Rachel? Where am I?"

"Croft Group's biological research base, in the medical cabin numbered 002."

"???"

Stark relaxed a lot after hearing this, but the doubts in his heart did not diminish at all.

"What was I doing before? I sent Happy here for treatment, and then I saw the burgers in the Royal Restaurant and felt a little hungry. Did I lose consciousness when I wanted to eat?"

He frowned as he tried hard to recall what had happened before.

"No, I remembered it! My neck felt obviously cold at that time! Laura, you actually plotted against me!"

As soon as Tony shouted these words, the medical cabin opened with a click, and what appeared in front of him was Laura with her hands crossed on her chest, and her eyes were full of interest.

"Oh? Why did I plot against you?"

"You drugged me!"

"Really? Why don't I remember?"

While speaking, a tube of green potion that looked extremely familiar to Tony suddenly appeared in Laura's hand, and her eyes were fixed on his neck.

"No! Nothing happened. I must have been asleep! Did I say anything just now?"

Tony was shocked when he saw this, and quickly denied it. Laura, as if she was guessing, turned the potion in her hand and disappeared into thin air again.

"Happy's vital signs are now stable. The whole process will take about six days. All we can do is wait."

Seeing Tony open his mouth to ask something, Laura interrupted him directly, and then her eyes became solemn:

"Tony, I want to talk to you now about the 'Guardian Project'."

When Stark heard this, his body that had just stood up suddenly stiffened, and then slowly lay back down.

"Wow, you actually stole the contents of my plan! How do you feel? Does it feel okay?"

He pretended to be relaxed and playful, but he couldn't hide the trace of expectation and panic about the unknown hidden in it.

"To be honest, I don't agree with this plan, and Pepper thinks the same way."

Laura was silent for a moment, and finally decided to hit the nail on the head and tell the truth.

The light in Tony's eyes quickly dimmed following her words, and he muttered:

"why."

His voice became hoarse, and Laura could hear the reluctance in it, so after sorting out her thoughts and organizing her words, she told Tony her own and Pepper's views.

"Politics...hum!"

When he first heard Pepper's part of the argument, Stark's eyes became more unwilling, but Laura fell into silence after telling most of what she had seen and heard on Typhon.

"Tony, I am telling you this out of honesty between friends. As a reference, please don't think of taking responsibility again."

Hearing this, Stark nodded first, then shook his head and said:

"You put it this way, I did find a lot of loopholes in the Guardian plan, but why do I have to reject them all? Can't we just improve it to perfection together?"

Obviously, he still didn't want to give up this plan that he had been thinking about for a long time.

"In that case, please answer me a few questions.

1. What was your original intention in specifying this plan?

Second, do you have corresponding and complete insurance measures for this plan? "

Facing the question raised by Laura, Tony blurted out:

"The Guardian Project is just like its name. The designated purpose is to protect the earth from damage like the previous Battle of New York. As for the insurance measures, it is naturally to combine the advantages of all aspects to develop a more complete artificial intelligence that can be loyal to the plan itself. It’s smart, if there is a problem during this period, we can debug it until it’s perfect, right?”

“First of all, this kind of plan will never be recognized by any political power, and the resistance it will face will be infinite.

Secondly, to take a step back, even if the plan really succeeds, it does not fall into the control of any political power or individual. These 'Peacekeeper' robots have such powerful global deployment capabilities. Once local problems on the earth such as armed conflicts occur in some areas, what choice do you expect AI to make?

Is it to intervene in human civil war? Or stand by and watch? Or should we simply identify human beings as the real source of instability and deal with them once and for all? "

Stark was stirred by what she said and lowered his head in thought.

"Tony, we are not 'gods' and should not touch these things. As extraordinary individuals, our words and deeds will still be marked by different groups with completely different political colors.

On this point, I agree with Nick Fury’s old agent’s idea. Although the Avengers are not perfect, they are already the optimal solution at this stage.

My suggestion is to stop thinking about responsibilities for the time being, take a good rest, care more about Pepper, and make more friends. "

After saying that, Laura left the laboratory. Rachel found traces of the bald Extremis warrior who escaped yesterday. She had to do a tracking mission after a long time.

"Hey, Stark, you're awake too. The potion I specially prepared is quite effective, right?"

The silence in the laboratory was interrupted by Maya Hansen who pushed in the door. She had a rare good sleep last night and did not wake up until noon.

She thought that someone with almost full Venomous Tongue attribute would sneer at her, but she didn't expect that Tony just leaned quietly on the chair next to the medical cabin, remaining silent.

"What? Are great scientists also learning how to feel tranquility?"

Maya Hansen, whose temperament also has nothing to do with stability, obviously didn't want to miss the opportunity to tease this guy.

"Maya, you also saw the data of those guys at A.I.M., so why did you give up the original research direction of the Extremis virus?"

Seeing his serious look, Dr. Hansen curled his lips in boredom and replied casually:

"You were the one who proposed the solution back then. Didn't you read the experimental notes carefully? The current recovery potion is the research direction I originally wanted."
