In this perilous situation, there was something like porridge cooked in the pot, and Ethan continued to whistle.
leisurely put the taken out shrapnel into a small glass bottle and handed it to Tony.
even said to Stark, "In our village, there are many such people. We call them the living dead, because within a week, shrapnel will enter their vital organs!"
Even if this was the case, Stark, who was confused about the situation, did not let Stark hear the grief in the words.
"what is this?"
"Electromagnet! Connected to the car battery, it can prevent shrapnel from entering your heart! Hmm."
Stark's brain turned frantically, analyzed everything around him, and tied his dirty shirt on his chest.
Ethan is a full suit, and the bow tie is also very classic and neat. The left pocket even reveals a little scarf. In this dim cave, compared with the embarrassed Tony, it is like two different worlds. people.
But he taught Tony to be in danger, looking at the surveillance camera, "That's right, smile."
This relaxed state even made Stark suspect that the man in front of him was sent by his kidnapper.
"We have seen it at the Berne Technology Conference in Switzerland, 1999."
"I don't remember."
"You certainly don't remember, if I drink like you, I can't stand up, let alone an integrated circuit speech!" Ethan's face has always been faintly smiled, bringing Star A little bit of peace.
Before he finished speaking, there was a shout from the door, and Ethan instantly became nervous.
hurriedly came to Stark's side, pulled up the nervous Tony with both hands, calmly said, "Follow me, just follow me!"
The bearded deputy chief came in with a few gunmen.
Through Ethan’s translation, they knew that their purpose was to make Stark build the Jericho missile that had just been tested.
Stark refused, but was pushed into a bucket on the side, holding his breath, choking water, and splashing a little splash on the electromagnet on his chest, causing a small short circuit.
A talented scientist who became famous as a teenager and billionaire Tony Stark, where did he receive such treatment?
repeatedly pressed his head into the water, as if he was dead, a voice from Pepper Potts came out in his head, ‘Tony! ’
Ethan was very unbearable on the sidelines, but he was helpless, unable to protect himself.
When was exhausted, but still had to hold the car battery to save his life, Stark felt unprecedented insult and shame.
‘I have to carry this bulky battery to sustain my life! ’
Then, the sack was pulled out of the cave, and he looked at the heavy weapons, missiles, rockets, bombs, etc. everywhere outside. All the weapons were printed with the logo of "Made by Stark".
Even the guns in their hands are all made by "Stark"
The short and chubby Afghan bearded deputy chief seemed to be a little proud and said to Tony, "What do you think?" (Translated by Ethan)
"You have many weapons I made!"
"We have all the materials used to make Jericho missiles, you make a list!"
continued, "I will start manufacturing right away, and when you are finished, I will let you go!" After speaking, he extended a hand to indicate.
Tony just wants to live now. Hearing the last paragraph of Ethan's translation, he put his hands up and held them together.
smiled and looked at the beard, but said in English, "He can't!"
Ethan also looked at the deputy leader with a smile, and replied, "Yes, he won't!"
Looking at the smiles of the two, the beard also laughed.
......
In the cave, only Tony and Ethan are left, and there is a pile of wood burning bonfires for lighting and heating.
Stark stared blankly at the burning flames, remembering the good times before, wrapped in a layer of old and dirty blanket, sitting there shivering.
Ethan looked at Tony, but said, "I know your people must be looking for you, Stark! But they will never find this deep mountain!"
squatted down and looked at Tony, "You just saw it, those are your heritage, Stark!"
Stark did not respond, sitting motionless.
"Your life is in the hands of these murderers, don't you want to give up!" The voice gradually increased, "Is this the last resistance of the great Tony Stark?"
Ethan finally stared at Tony and said loudly, "Or tell me what you want to do!!"
Stark's mind is flashing back countless pictures, Pepper's smiling face, his old car, Obi's voice.
The countless models I have slept with, the last cup of coffee that Pepper handed him, the small model he gave Pepper, the electromagnet on his chest, the giant reactor in the company, and the last one I saw at the entrance of the cave sun.
Recalling the last smiling face that he gave the model to Pepper, his eyes gradually shifted from her face to her hand, the little model.
I moved unconsciously in his hand, recalling the shape of the model, as if the three-dimensional drawing of the model appeared in my mind, gradually broken down into parts, and seemed to collide with the idea buried deep in my mind.
There was a strange light in Stark's eyes, and a thought that he had forgotten all along came out of his mind again.
"Okay, let's get to work!" Stark stood up again.
Ethan saw Stark regaining his fighting spirit, as if there was a trace of relief in his eyes, he also slowly smiled.
......
One day later, in the cave, all the necessary equipment was sent in. Under the bright lights, the simple cave looked a bit like it at last.
Stark finely disassembled the warhead of a missile and took out an internal detonator.
Ethan came up, "If I help you during the preparation process, it will be more efficient."
Stark didn't hear him, he took out a thin piece of metal with tweezers from the device, and threw the rest behind him.
"what is this?"
"This is metal palladium, 0.15 grams, at least 1.6 grams, so you go to tear down the other eleven?" Stark looked at Ethan and said.
Ethan did not understand, but he followed Tony's instructions, and the smile appeared on his face again.
Finally, it is necessary to use a crucible to melt the metal palladium, pour it into a mold, and condense it to form. This is a critical step because Stark is dragged down by the battery on his chest and can only be done by Ethan.
Ethan used the clamp to clamp the crucible and walked slowly towards the mold, but Stark held the battery aside and emphasized, "Be careful, be careful, we only have one chance!"
"Don't worry, my hand is very stable, otherwise you think how you survived!" Ethan smiled relaxedly, and poured the liquid palladium into the mold steadily and slowly.
"How do you call it?" Stark glanced at Ethan and finally asked the question.
"Call me Ethan!" Ethan continued to pour the palladium.
"Ethan, nice to meet you!" Stark glanced at Ethan, and finally expressed his approval.
"I'm glad to meet you too!" Ethan smiled happily.
Soon, a small circle of metal palladium appeared in Stark's hand.
......
Three days later, a small round table-shaped mechanical device appeared on the table. The power was turned on and it was completely activated, emitting a bright blue and white light.
caused the voltage of the surrounding circuit to become unstable, and the lights flickered. Stark looked at this small model, only it was in his eyes, and his lips trembled slightly.
Ethan came to the side, "Does this look like a Jericho missile?"
"This is a miniature arc oscillation reactor. I have a big one in my hometown, which powers my factory." Stark touched it lightly.
"This should prevent shrapnel from entering my heart!"
"How about its power generation capacity?"
"If I haven't figured it out, it's generally not wrong, 3 billion joules per second!"
"Enough for you to live fifty times!" Ethan sighed.
"Yes, or fifteen minutes for a big guy!" Stark said calmly, thinking about the plan in his heart.
"How did you think that the compression is so small?" Ethan asked involuntarily looking at the reactor.
But suddenly he pulled Stark’s thoughts back a few days ago, took the reactor in front of him, and rubbed it inch by inch,
Ethan, the day before I came to Afghanistan, a child gave it to I am a model!"
"What model?"
"That's it!" Stark raised the reactor in front of him. "It's very similar to this, but it's more refined. The funny thing is, I didn't think about it at that time!"
"So strange?" Ethan didn't expect it to be like this either.
"If I can go back, I will find that kid, sure!!"
