Lu Mingfei doesn’t want to be a superhero

In Tony's laboratory.

The atmosphere became eerily silent.

Fury, Natasha, Lu Mingfei and Tony were silent.

Logically speaking, Natasha should have the highest emotional intelligence among the four, but as the saying goes, "A doctor cannot heal himself."

So in the end it was Fury who took the initiative to speak and broke the awkwardness: "Natasha was strengthened by the super soldier serum. Although the degree of enhancement is far less exaggerated than Captain America, she also has a strong recovery ability."

After hearing this, Lu Mingfei suddenly took two steps away from Natasha, as if she was not a beauty, but a Cthulhu creature wearing a beauty's skin.

Natasha stared at Lu Mingfei silently.

But this really can't be blamed on Lu Mingfei. The last super soldier enhancer he had personal contact with was a terrifying creature that fought the Hulk on the streets of a busy city and could smash a tank as a toy.

He was now afraid that the graceful Natasha in front of him would suddenly roar and burst her clothes...

Then his size surged, his green face and fangs turned into a ferocious giant three meters tall.

Lu Mingfei stepped back, but Tony took a step forward and looked at Natasha with an unkind expression: "You are fired."

"It's not up to you to decide." Natasha smiled.

"Since when can I not even decide who I can hire as an assistant?" Tony raised his eyebrows, "Are the employment laws in the United States a piece of waste paper?"

"As long as you pay the appropriate severance pay, you can fire me at any time," Natalie chuckled confidently, "but the rest of your life may be marked by palladium poisoning."

"Oh?" Tony rolled his eyes and did not immediately reveal that he had solved the problem of palladium poisoning. Instead, he asked, "What do you mean, do you have a way to save me?"

Natasha gave Fury a questioning look, and Fury nodded.

Then Natasha took out a syringe from nowhere, stepped forward quickly, and stabbed Tony in the neck.

Lu Mingfei on the side grabbed Natasha's wrist with quick eyesight and quick hands: "What do you want to do?"

Tony took two steps back and looked at the syringe in Natasha's hand: "What is this?"

"Lithium dioxide, although it cannot cure the disease, can temporarily relieve your symptoms of palladium poisoning," Fury said. "How about an injection?"

"No, no, no," Tony shook his head repeatedly, "Don't even think about it, your syringes don't look sterilized."

"What?" Fury was stunned for a moment, "So you would rather endure the continuous erosion of your body by the palladium element than get an injection?"

Lu Mingfei and Tony looked at each other, and then laughed at the same time.

Amidst the laughter of Lu Mingfei and Tony, Fury suddenly had a very bad premonition.

Lu Mingfei and Tony didn't stop laughing until Fury's head was covered with black lines.

"Tony, do you want to tell him?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with it," Tony said.

This is not a technology, just a small solution.

…

A few minutes later.

After listening to Lu Mingfei and Tony's stories, Fury was stunned.

His first reaction was similar to Tony's when he heard Lu Mingfei's plan - how could it still be like this? !

Natasha on the side was holding the palladium poisoning inhibitor drug that SHIELD spent an unknown amount of money to research, and suddenly felt very dumb.

Oh, and Fury is pretty dorky, too.

"So do you have anything else?" Tony sat down on the chair, "If not, let's talk about what you said when you came here just now."

Lu Mingfei on the side thought about it for a moment. This bald black man with a big beard and a head like a stewed egg with moldy hair on the lower half interrupted him and Tony in discussing the attacker Ivan Vanko when he first came in. Why is there a conversation about micro-reactors? He said, "Or there is another possibility. He already has the original drawings of micro-reactors."

Now that I think about it, these words conflict with what Tony said at the beginning.

Tony said that the micro-reactor was originally modified from the super-large reactor at his company's headquarters, and he had never made the drawings in any substantial form.

How could that Ivan Vanke have blueprints?

But when he turned around, Lu Mingfei saw Tony staring into Fury's one eye with a serious face: "Did Ivan Vanke's father, Anton Vanke, have anything to do with the Stark Group?"

The information about Ivan Vanke that Jarvis found was quite detailed, but there were only fragments of information about Anton Vanke. It was obvious that Anton Vanke's information had been destroyed.

"I do have something to tell you about Anton Vanko," Fury pointed to Tony's chest, "but first, we have to start with the Ark reactor on your chest."

Tony pointed to the dismantled Ark reactor on another table: "The thing you mentioned is there."

Fury glared at him angrily: "It's not important! In short, your reactor was made based on unfinished technology. Your father Howard originally had a more perfect plan that could create better energy. However, he was limited by the technology of the time and could not put that plan into practice, so the giant reactor of your company was an unfinished product that he made under the constraints of the technology at that time."

"Can I understand it as a youth version or a mini version?" Lu Mingfei raised his hand and asked.

"This is a strange statement, but it is true." Fury said, "When your father was trying to carry out this plan, he had an important collaborator, Anton Vanke. At that time, his relationship with your father was simply Like two sides of the same coin.”

"You mean they are inseparable?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"I mean they are completely opposite," Fury said. "When developing new technology, Howard and Anton Vanke had differences in their ideas on how to use this technology, and they started fighting over this. In the end, Howard Anton Vanko was expelled from the United States. At that time, the Soviet Union had disintegrated, and Anton Vanko went to Russia and lived a life of drunkenness and dreams."

"Wait a minute, isn't he a talented person who can work on reactors with Tony's father? Why was he not reused after returning to Russia?" Lu Mingfei was puzzled.

"He only brought back a copy of the data and drawings of the unfinished product, which could not be put into use," Fury said. "But it is obvious that his son perfected this technology based on the drawings and data left by his father."

"It's not perfect yet," Tony shook his head, "His reactor speed is too slow."

Fury shook his head, not wanting to argue with Tony on this aspect, and said: "In short, whether it is your current Ark reactor or the reactor made by Ivan Vanko, they are all made according to unfinished technology and lack the most complete technology. The important part.”

"What?" Tony asked.

"You want to know?" Fury smiled with a confident smile, "He said that only you have the resources and wisdom to break the shackles of technology and complete his original plan. By coincidence, I happen to have some of the things he left here. Something that came down.”

Tony was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly said: "Is the missing part a new element?"

Fury's confident smile froze.

"It seems right." Tony nodded.

"How did you know?" Fury's bald head was covered with black question marks.

"If you know some basic scientific knowledge, especially about engineering and materials science, it is not difficult to deduce this." Tony said.

What knowledge should I know to launch this thing? Nick Fury cursed inwardly.

Lu Mingfei stood aside and thought for a long time, also wondering how Tony pushed it out.

He glanced at Natasha again, who had been silent, and found that she seemed to be wandering, as if she had given up thinking.

So after hesitating for a while, Lu Mingfei gave up thinking, found an open space where Jarvis could project, and started playing Tetris.

"But even if you figure it out, how do you create this brand new element?" Fury calmed down - it doesn't matter, he has all the information left by Howard, and he can always take advantage of Tony.

In fact, half a year ago he came to see Tony, who had just become Iron Man, and invited him to join his side, but Tony refused without hesitation.

But now as long as Tony is convinced, whether he actually joins the Avengers he formed, or lets him serve as a consultant or supporter of the Avengers, it will be a matter of hands.

And once Tony is taken care of, the boy with unknown origin next to him will have more opportunities to contact and observe him.

Fury thinks his plan is about to get better.

"Why should I create new elements?" Tony suddenly asked, "What I have now is quite useful."

Fury was silent.

Yes, Tony no longer has the problem of palladium poisoning, so the new non-toxic elements are not a life-saving straw for him.

Thinking of this, Fury couldn't help but glance at Lu Mingfei, and secretly cursed "Fuck Fake" in his heart.

If this guy hadn't suddenly proposed such an evil solution to Tony Stark, the legacy left by Howard in his hands now would be his biggest bargaining chip against Tony.

"But according to what Howard said before, the energy possessed by the new element will be several times stronger than the current unfinished product." Fury tried to seduce Tony from another angle.

"Hmm..." Tony thought for two seconds, "But my current reactor is installed on the suit, and the energy is completely sufficient."

"The output power of the new element reactor will be higher!" Fury said.

"I can install a few more reactors on the suit, and each reactor is responsible for the function of a main module." After Tony was awakened by Lu Mingfei, Tony also opened his mind. "In this way, the output power can be increased several times."

Fury was silent for a long time.

He finally struggled: "Don't you want to know what new elements your father originally envisioned?"

"Can't I just do the research myself?" Tony looked unconcerned. "What he can do, I can do it too. It's just a matter of spending more time."

Fury: ...

Damn, this arrogant and narcissistic guy's life is not in danger now, he has plenty of time.

Moreover, facing such a super genius who can create a miniature Ark reactor in a terrorist's cave base, Fury is not sure whether he can really develop the new elements that Howard originally envisioned on his own.

Tony suddenly stood up and patted Fury on the shoulder: "By the way, what did my dad say at the beginning? 'Only I have the resources and wisdom to break the shackles of technology and complete his original plan.' Well, although I'm not interested in his plans, no, I'm not interested in anything about him..."

"But what he said is right. Only I have this ability!" Tony stared at Fury's one eye and raised his eyebrows. "In other words, if my dad's things are left with you, it actually doesn't mean anything to you. It’s useless, right? Then why not sell it to me cheaper? Instead of keeping a bunch of moldy stuff, you might as well exchange it for some dollars, right?”

Fury: ...

He specifically mentioned the things Howard left behind, not for the purpose of selling them for money.

But he also realized that he had been a little too anxious just now, but Tony was no longer threatened by death and could think calmly. At this time, he might have seen part of his intentions.

Sure enough, the next second, Tony continued: "Of course, if you are not interested in US dollars, we can also discuss other conditions."

Nick Fury secretly cursed "Fuck Fuck" in his mind.

He could see that Tony was no longer in trouble now, and his plan to use Howard's relics to tie Tony to the warship was no longer working.

On the other hand, Tony should have guessed his purpose, and now most of the initiative in the negotiation falls into Tony's hands.

In other words, he was treated as the guest.

And all because of the guy next to me who was playing Tetris on Jarvis's projection screen!

In particular, he noticed that Natasha on the side quietly moved her eyes to the screen where Lu Mingfei was playing Tetris, which made Nick Fury even more angry.

Today we are expected to update three chapters with over 3,000 words, which should add up to over 10,000 words. But now I have only finished coding the first two chapters, and I am still writing the third chapter, 嘤嘤嘤~
