At 9 o'clock the next morning, the fourth science and technology seminar of the Future Science and Technology Foundation was officially held.

The scientists and researchers at the meeting, as well as the business people who came to expand their connections, were not sure what had happened in the past three days. After all, it was claimed that dangerous objects were searched for in the original venue.

Of course, the delay of three days also led to conflicts in the time and itinerary of many participants, and some people had to regretfully miss the meeting. For example, politicians from various countries almost couldn't come to attend the opening ceremony again.

However, in a sense, this is actually a good thing, and it will make this meeting of scientists a little purer.

At the opening ceremony of the discussion, Tony Stark, who had just survived death, was still the host. His image was no different from the past, but anyone familiar with Tony could feel that he seemed to be different than his former unruly appearance.

It is hard to explain exactly where the difference is, but pain and disasters can always make people learn something.

Tony walked into the venue with applause and faced all the scientists in the entire foundation. Tony, wearing a black suit, stood at the front desk. He breathed a sigh of relief, but did not take out the jokes he was very proud of to liven up the atmosphere. Instead, he took out stacks of crumpled paper from his pocket.

He spread out the paper full of words in his hand, and he said to everyone:

"What I hold is the final research results of two members of the Future Science Foundation, Hans and Dr. Stein. They originally planned to share these results with you at the discussion meeting, but unfortunately, we lost them because of a plane crash."

"It is a sad thing for us to lose our best friends, we lose our companions walking with us on the road of science, so today I will take the place of those two gentlemen who have left us and give all the things they want to say to us."

"Well, it's a research result on high-energy physics... Friendly reminders, this will be longer and boring, so friends who are not interested can prepare for a while in advance."

A kind laughter sounded from the audience, but everyone calmed down when Tony spoke.

The tragedy of Dr. Hans and Dr. Stein was revealed by foundation directors last night that the two doctors' planes crashed near Ukraine, which cast a shadow on this terrible seminar.

Fortunately, most of the scientists attending the meeting were not superstitious people, and no one went to delve into the factors behind this accident.

Well, those reporters who were trying to delve into the deeper have been arranged on the amnesia package.

This world does need the truth, but not everything needs to be revealed and revealed. Some people choose to forget those things in order to enable others to live a better life.

For example, if the intelligence center was almost seized, it would be enough to be discussed at the top level. Telling it to ordinary people will only increase their worries. Apart from causing waves of chaos, nothing can be changed.

People only need to know that the world is still peaceful, and they can wake up tomorrow and continue to live their own or happy or ordinary life. Everything they have and hard-won will not be taken away suddenly. That's all.

And while Tony was speaking, Merlin stood at the entrance of the conference room.

He watched Tony share the boring research results for ordinary people in a rare serious and serious manner. He didn't care what Tony said, but he paid more attention to Tony Stark's own expression and his emotions.

Tobion, who is still in the hospital, told the agents of SHIELD that night, and Merlin could also guess why Tony was doing this on this occasion.

The deaths of the two scientists who dared to resist Mandalin probably brought some insights into life and beliefs to Tony.

Well, this is a good thing.

Merlin nodded slightly, which was indeed a good thing for Tony Stark, who was about to start a new career.

This made him understand more about how heavy the word "hero" represents, and it might also make Merlin's conversation with Tony smoother later.

More than ten minutes later, the discussion came to the main point.

A group of scientists began to argue endlessly about the development process of the intelligent machinery industry in recent years and various new ideas. The atmosphere in the venue became warmer. To be honest, it was quite interesting to watch a group of scientists debate. Of course, there were occasional things that could not be said and done. Well, there were not many such situations, but there were also many.

Tony Stark did not join the discussion. On the one hand, his speech was scheduled the next afternoon, and on the other hand, he had to rush to the hospital to see Potz and Hapi.

Potz has some psychological shadows and needs guidance and rest, while Hapi is more miserable. The thugs are very rude to him. Hapi has many traumas, but fortunately his life is worry-free and he is still in the special care unit of the hospital.

Tony walked into the garage and drove away from the scene. Just as he drove into a road with few people, a familiar voice suddenly rang out in the co-pilot of the sports car.

"Stop by the way."

“???”

Tony was startled and subconsciously stepped on the brakes, causing the speeding car to stop suddenly, moving forward several meters on the ground.

"You're going to scare me to death! You bastard, this is very dangerous, do you know?"

The playboy turned his head and roared at Meilin without hesitation. Meilin, who appeared in the co-pilot like a ghost, looked at Tony expressionlessly, to be precise, looking at the brown sunglasses on his face.

After a moment, Merlin said:

"Glasses are good."

"Ahem"

Tony was very uncomfortable with Merlin's eyes that had seen everything. He turned his head and coughed twice, saying:

"Buy it casually on the street."

"Yeah?"

Merlin pushed his glasses and said:

"If I could buy a pair of sunglasses at a street stall with the most advanced artificial intelligence program in the world, I would be able to laugh in my dreams... But we can talk about this later, Tony, I'm not here to argue with you."

Merlin opened the door and walked out of the car. He stood by the side of the road and said to Tony who was sitting in his seat and looking at him:

"I'm just here to ask you a question."

"I've told you all that everything that happened in the smart tower told the Agent Colson with a high hairline. He is a very difficult character. His expression was exactly the same as you when asking questions. I suspect he was taught by you."

Tony looked very sincere, he said:

"Merlin, I really said everything without reservation. If you don't believe me, look at my sincere eyes..."

"I really taught Colson myself."

Meilin curled his lips, he reached out to take off his glasses, wiped it with a handkerchief, and lowered his head and said:

"But I'm already here, Tony, I'm standing in front of you, do you still feel that the things you're trying to hide are not exposed?"

Tony quietly held the red suitcase he placed next to the seat with his left hand. He quietly wanted to say something, but at this moment, Merlin raised his head.

Those strange, dark red eyes stared at Tony, making Tony feel like a basin of ice water was poured on his face in the middle of winter.

"I said, I'm not here to make trouble, Tony."

After 1 second, Merlin put on his glasses again, and he returned to his normal pupils. He smiled gently at Tony and said:

"So take your hand away on the super mark, so as not to scare passersby in a while."

"whispering sound"

Tony snorted, leaning against his seat and saying to Merlin:

"I don't plan to hide it from you at all."

"I know."

Merlin nodded and said:

"The equipment construction records in the smart tower are still there, you didn't delete them at all. You just deleted the design drawings and armor information to ensure that the super mark cannot be copied. I can understand, and we will not ask you to take out the super mark and share it... We are not that greedy yet."

"What are you here for?"

Tony asked in surprise:

"When did SHIELD become so generous?"

"Because I asked Tobyon, armor is only one aspect, and energy is the real focus. But the problem is that the prototype of the Ark reactor is located in the Stark Industrial factory, and it is so openly placed there that anyone interested can walk in and visit."

Merlin said frankly:

"You just keep the secret of miniaturizing the reactor. You will definitely not publish it, and we will not allow you to publish it."

"A palm-sized thing can supply the energy a city needs, which sounds great, but acting rashly will only directly cause global chaos... The innovation of energy technology also needs to be done step by step."

"I mean, Tony, the things you make are really amazing, but we are not a rustic bun that has never seen the world. Not all good things must be put in our pockets. We are more willing to maintain a longer cooperation than a world-class genius because of a less important armor."

"cooperate?"

Tony keenly grasped the word, he looked at Merlin and said:

"Let me explain it briefly. Don't take up too much time. I'm going to see Potz and Hapi."

"Oh, of course, it won't delay your time."

Merlin took a document out of her pocket and handed it to Tony, who took it in her hand, looked it through, and then said in a weird tone:

"Avengers 006? What does this mean?"

"It means that the official hero group has sent you an invitation."

Merlin put his hands in the pocket of the windbreaker, and he stood up straight and said to Tony:

"The document says it clearly about what the Avenger is, what it wants to do, and what its meaning is. You can take it back and read it slowly, but it's better not to throw it around everywhere."

"You have 30 days to give me your answer, and of course you can choose to refuse."

"But I will remind you, Tony, after you have the Super Mark, you are included in S.H.E.L.D. I think you have enough wisdom to understand why we do this... The things in your hands are different from all your previous designs and all the big toys, you can use it, but I hope you are more cautious."

Merlin took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. He made a "please" gesture to Tony, and he said:

"Go, I won't bother you to visit your friends anymore. The conversation between us is over."

After saying that, Merlin held her fingers with a bloody cane and jumped into his hand. Merlin leaned on her cane and turned around and walked back along the road. After he took a few steps, Tony poked his head out of the sports car and asked:

"Who is in your 'club' now?"

"An old man in his 90s, a woman who has run away from home for more than ten years, an amnesia patient with a muddy mind, a secret agent who has just saved your girlfriend and friend, but is being hated by you, an alien farmer who has lived on Earth for many years."

"There are two more candidates, one is ever-changing, the old lady who likes to play girls, and the other is a former circus actor who shoots archery accurately and plays with knives very well..."

Merlin turned around and said to Tony clearly, and the latter's expression suddenly became quite exciting.
