Chapter 21, Krypton Elementary School extracurricular craft interest group (Part 2)
What's the situation like now? The legendary "Close Encounters of the Third Kind"?
Standing at the door of the Malibu seaside smart villa, Iron Man Tony. Stark looked curiously at the four uninvited guests who dropped from the sky - Wang Qiu, Ma Tong, Li Wei and Political Commissar Guo, who were dressed in colorful [Superman Suits] and used [Time Baggage] to look like elementary school students. At this time, in order to show their special identities, all four of them activated Superman's special abilities and suspended in mid-air about one meter above the ground.
Well, although it can fly, it doesn’t have an octopus head or colorful skin. It seems to be basically the same as humans. Except for one of them, most of them have Asian faces (Levi is a Chinese-Russian mixed race) , the appearance is slightly biased towards Maozi descent), is this an alien?
However, Tony was relieved when he thought about the Thor and Loki he had met before, and they seemed to look exactly like humans.
Perhaps, in this world's universe, most aliens look similar to humans?
As for why these "Kryptonians" could speak fairly fluent English, he completely ignored it: since during the Battle of New York, the Nordic protoss of Asgard could easily communicate with him, then the other Aliens probably have the same talent for language, right?
Or is this simply a universe where the entire galaxy speaks English? Well, it seems like anything is possible.
"...Um...well, let's call you alien kids in tights that way! You guys destroyed my yard and house without saying a word. Uncle, I should slap you hard right away. A spanking is the answer, but who makes me feel good now?”
He folded his arms and glanced arrogantly at the four little guys in front of him, "...Should you apologize before you ask?"
"...Well, I accidentally damaged your house when we landed. I'm really sorry. We'll fix it for you right now!"
Faced with the trouble they had caused, Wang Qiu and others had no choice but to bow their heads and apologize - they had come here specially to ask for help this time, and were already mentally prepared to lower their profile, "...it just so happened that I brought special props - —[Restore Light]! Start!”
Then, in Tony's shocked eyes, a seemingly ordinary beam of light shot out from the strange flashlight in Wang Qiu's hand, and the shattered glass doors and windows of his house, as well as the cracked concrete floor, were all exposed to it. When the beam of light shines on it, it returns to its original state very quickly!
"...What is this? Time travel? Memory metal? No, I'm sure these glass and cement are ordinary materials... Hey, little guy, how did you do it?" Tony came over and asked curiously. .
"...I can't tell you the specific principle. Anyway, it relies on this [Recovery Light]. It's not a particularly rare thing. I can give you one to play with...Eh?! Mr. Tony, don't rush to grab it. Ah! I haven’t had time to restore the flower bed over there!”
"...Don't worry about that flower bed! Let me test this little thing first!" Tony said impatiently.
"...Uh, okay. But, do you think we should go in first? It doesn't feel right to talk outside..."

Sitting in the living room of the villa, admiring Iron Man Tony. Stark's mansion, Wang Qiu couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in his heart.
Although Tony. Stark has always been arrogant and very venomous, but his taste must be said to be very high. Various decorations and supplies with cool lines in the house, after being cleverly matched by Tony Stark, not only no longer look weird, but also full of exciting technological colors, that kind of strong science fiction Elements, very suitable for Tony's dazzling identity as a "genius scientist".
However, compared with this house that awes the guests, Iron Man Tony, the owner, seems quite incompetent. I saw him leaving the guests in the living room, while he held the [Restore Light] flashlight and happily smashed vases, water glasses and other things over and over again, and then used the [Restore Light] to restore them to their original state. , like a little urchin who is obsessed with a new toy, completely unaware that people are sitting on the sofa at a loss.
Fortunately, as the smart housekeeper program of this villa, "Jarvis" finally thoughtfully ordered the housekeeping robot to serve four guests a drink each, and played some relaxing American country music... …until Tony got tired of playing with his new toy.
"...Okay, little guys, now I somewhat believe that you are aliens. But I still have deep doubts about your claimed identity and purpose - Krypton Primary School extracurricular craft interest group? Why not say it is a semi- What about the Alpha Sagittarius Photographers Association? ”
Tony put the [Recovery Light] that Wang Qiu gave him into his pocket and said carelessly, then found a comfortable position on the sofa and sat down, "...You guys planned to make an Ark Reactor as your homework, but it turned out If you can't do it, why don't you come to Earth and ask me, the inventor, for help? Are elementary school students so reckless? Not to mention whether you can understand these technologies, and it is a cash cow for our company. How can you just leak the technical secrets to the market and then strip off the trademark and change it? Use it to fool the teacher?”
"...Sorry, Mr. Stark, the extracurricular homework we are scheduled to hand in is not your current Ark reactor that uses artificially synthesized new elements. It is a simpler and more primitive type, that is, the old one that uses metal palladium. version." Wang Qiu explained.
An older version of the metal palladium Ark reactor? Iron Man Tony's mind began to work at a high speed. Unlike the new Ark reactor that uses new elements, the palladium metal Ark reactor is no longer his monopoly. His last old enemy was Ivan the "Mourning Whip" from Russia. Vanke also mastered the production technology of the old version of the palladium metal Ark reactor, and was once recruited by Hammer Military Industrial Group to bring the technology to the United States (see "Iron Man 2" for details). Although after a fierce fight, Tony successfully killed Ivan. Vanke, by the way, destroyed Hanmer Military Industry. However, during the collapse of Hanmer Military Industry, the production technology of the old Ark reactor inevitably spread and was successively mastered by several forces.
In distant Russia, after learning the news, the Moscow authorities dug out the technical information left by Vanke and his son from the sealed pile of old papers, and produced their own Ark Reactor - as long as there are detailed instructions, the Ark Reactor can In fact, things are not difficult to produce. You can just find a small workshop to do it. For example, he made the first miniaturized reactor in a cave in Afghanistan. Next, due to a series of complex transactions, leaks and espionage operations, more countries and forces also obtained the above-mentioned technology...
It is precisely because the technology of the old Ark reactor is no longer a secret that Tony no longer tries to keep it secret, but decisively puts the new Ark reactor into the market for commercial production and sales, thereby relying on technological advantages to seize the market in advance. to avoid greater losses.
Therefore, if the alien children in front of them really just want his help to hand-make an old version of the metal palladium Ark reactor, there seems to be nothing wrong with it. Even if he refuses, there are many other channels to obtain the above technology.
Of course, as a superhero who defends the earth, Iron Man Tony also has to consider whether allowing aliens to master this obsolete energy technology will cause hidden dangers to the security of the earth. But as long as he thought about it carefully, Tony felt that such an idea was really ridiculous - since they could take such a small spaceship and come to the earth from the other side of the star sea, it was obvious that the technological level was far above that of the earth. How could a mere Ark reactor, or an old version of technology that has been phased out, be of much value to them? In their eyes, this little invention of theirs is probably similar to the Watt steam engine model in the eyes of modern earthlings. It is an antique that has been buried and forgotten by the times!
Well, some children in the modern United States who like machinery can also make their own models of diesel engines, steam engines and even steam turbines. It is estimated that the situation of these alien children's handicraft enthusiasts is similar to them... It seems that we should agree to their small request?
At least they were much more polite than the Loki who wanted to conquer the world, and the Thor who swung his hammer and started fighting as soon as he came to the door.
Iron Man Tony thought so, but he was still rude, "...Well, I understand what you probably mean. But why should I help you? As a superhero and scientist, I am very I am so busy that I don’t have much free time to teach children to do crafts.”
"...Haha, Mr. Stark, of course we won't let you work in vain. The [Restoration Light] just now is one of the rewards for your help. Next, there will be a few small gifts that we think are very interesting. I hope You can be satisfied. Anyway, I have to leave this matter to you!”
Wang Qiu made a gesture as he spoke, so Li Wei took out a box of vials and a syringe from his arms, Ma Tong placed a box of animal-shaped biscuits on the coffee table, and Political Commissar Guo took out a A heavy white enamel teapot, with a faint aroma of tea wafting out from it.
Looking at such unattractive gadgets, Iron Man Tony couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "...What are these? Kid! Are you trying to invite me to inject a shot of drugs into my arm to 'get high'?" For a while, then sit down and drink tea and eat biscuits like a good baby, right?”
"...You really love to joke, Mr. Tony! These are [Plant Transformation Fluid], [Transformation Animal Biscuits] and [Adventure Tea]"
Wang Qiu couldn't help but smile bitterly and rolled his eyes, but he still explained as patiently as possible, "...As for what they are used for..." He picked up the [Plant Transformation Fluid] and looked around the room, "...You... Are there any unused plants around? It would be better if they are larger.”
"...Plants?" Tony blinked, "...I happened to plant a few pots of Mexican cacti on the rooftop balcony, is that okay?"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Next, a group of people went to the top of the building. Under Tony's gaze, Wang Qiu took out a small vial labeled "Beef Hamburger" from the box, put it into a syringe, and then injected it forcefully into the stem of a certain cactus, instantly causing the plant to change. ——The top of the cactus suddenly squirmed, bifurcated, and pulled out branches. Finally, it produced a round, hard-shelled fruit, which Wang Qiu reached out to pick.
The whole process only took an astonishing five minutes, and it simply broke through all common sense in biology, leaving Tony almost dumbfounded.
"...This is the function of [Plant Modification Fluid], Mr. Stark. As long as you inject different types of medicine into the plants according to the instructions, you can get all kinds of food you want, still cooked." Wang Qiu opened it. The shell revealed a hot hamburger inside, "...please try it!"
"...Well, it tastes pretty good, but it's a pity that it's not my favorite cheese flavor." Tony was stunned, then reached out to grab the hamburger that had just "grown" from the cactus, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it, while mumbling. Qingdi muttered, "...It's incredible! Not only can it induce plants to grow food, but it's also hot! This is simply unscientific! You aliens really know how to play! Can you tell me how you do it?"
"...Ah - we don't quite understand the principle of this aspect. After all, we are not specialized in learning this. Anyway, this thing is used when traveling in the wild. You can just find a big tree and inject a few injections into it. It will be the food ration on the road. That’s it. Inject whatever food you want.”
Wang Qiu scratched his hair and said, "...there are also hot soup noodles, fried rice, cakes and other flavors here. Would you like to try some more?"
"...Well, let's have a Turkish kebab! I just feel a little hungry. By the way, is there any beer? It's best to have it cold..."
However, while Iron Man Tony was sitting on the roof balcony of his home, tasting various "alien delicacies" produced using "plant modification fluid", he did not think of his current girlfriend, Pepper Pepper. Boz and another female visitor also came to his smart villa... What's even more unfortunate is that the [Transformed Animal Biscuits] and [Adventure Tea] brought by Wang Qiu and the others were still placed on the coffee table in the living room. ……
