The pieces of the mechanical armor follow the curve of the human limbs, and the pieces close together to envelop the boy. The blue and silver metallic armor looks very modern, not as crazy as Stark's red and gold, but more elegant and refined .

From the child mobilizing the Republic's industrial support, using smart atoms to create the steel armor on the blueprint, to the formation of the entire armor, most people have not had time to react, because it is beyond their comprehension. Each suit of Tony's armor costs more than 200 million U.S. dollars, and it was built by Stark Industries at no expense in manpower and material resources.

It represents not only Tony's monstrous financial resources, but also a symbol of Stark Industries' most advanced technology and industrial capabilities in the world.

The highest achievement of mankind in the field of energy - the Ark reactor.

The peak level of human beings in the power field - anti-gravity engine.

The crystallization of Stark Industries in the field of artificial intelligence - Jarvis.

These are advanced technologies that the U.S. government cannot replicate. They are the fusion of Tony's personal wisdom and the advanced technology of Stark Industries. They not only represent the forefront of applied science, but are also a symbol of Stark Industries and even the overall industrial strength of the United States. Even if the drawings and technology are made public, not many countries in the world can manufacture samples.

Maybe Russia can manufacture half of it, China can copy a low-configuration version, and the whole of Europe can unite to build a sample at any cost.

"Tony, how much did you quote for the Ministry of Defense for the Mark 5?" Black Widow poked Stark, who was surprised from ear to ear, and asked him.

"500 million U.S. dollars!" Stark hadn't recovered yet, staring blankly at the blue and silver armor.

"It's the Iron Patriot with $500 million. It's just a modified version of the Mark 1, which is at least two generations behind the Mark 5." Agent Hill couldn't help but interjected, and she turned to Tony and said, "Now your The Iron Patriot is only worth $200 million! We're not going to spend that much on a weapon that's outdated..."

"How much do you want to sell Mark 5?" Black Widow asked in Tony's ear.

Tony gave her a complicated look, shook his head and said, "Mark 5 is priceless..."

"Come on! You can't do a monopoly business anymore...Give me a real price!"

"It is really priceless... Its technology verification machine has not yet been finalized, and we have not yet mastered its production process.

It cannot be produced industrially at all. It can't be a product! Naturally there is no price. "Tony looked at the smaller steel armor, and said bitterly, "I spent 16.2 billion for the Mark 5, but it fell behind by a generation 13 days after it came out. "

"What's a dollar?" the boy leaned over and asked.

"That's our country's currency! Wait, do you understand what currency is?" Black Widow asked him. The boy shook his head.

"I am a genetic modulator, and my life cycle is not as long as that of a natural person. Today is my first birthday!" The boy said curiously: "I have seen the records of currency in history books, you use it to buy goods, right? "

"Clone."

Tony couldn't help showing a horrified expression, although cloning technology is not far from the level of earth science. But a living clone standing in front of them still shocked them.

"Yes! In order to preserve the fire of human civilization after the apocalypse catastrophe, the government specially formulated the female snail plan! After the human living environment encounters an extinct disaster, it can be preserved for millions of years until the ecological recovery. Biochemical living species, Cultivate gene modulators and inject them into the memory bank of human civilization."

"I am the result of the female snail project. Although the plan failed, we, who have developed into embryos, were still cultivated. To supplement the population of the Republic."

The boy didn't seem to care about his origin, but looked at Stark and the others expectantly, and asked curiously: "I've seen a lot of past data in the database, is it true that you treat currency like that?" Maybe he felt that what he said was too vague, the boy tried to express it tactfully: "It's... that kind of... very 'persistent'?" He used a less sharp word uncertainly.

"Persistence? What you want to say is crazy and stupid!" Tony nodded: "That's because you can't see what it represents... Currency is a distribution of power, it is like a kind of authority, control The authority of the entire world. When you own it, you have the power behind it."

"We use money to coordinate and distribute goods, and it makes our world run rationally and smoothly."

Tony gestured: "You may think this is unfair. But it is closer to the essence of this world. Are you a communist system?"

"Your needs are suppressed by the distribution system. Maybe you think it's unfair that some people enjoy luxury and some have nothing, but this is the beauty of the world. Human nature determines all this, and differences make the whole world full of vitality. Like the catfish in a school of sardines, spurring the whole world on."

"In my opinion, this system is more lovely than the rigid and rotten distribution system, beautiful woman. Wine, luxury cars and parties, without these, my life loses half the meaning."

"Greed is exactly where human nature lies, and those who try to erase human nature, no matter how glorious the banner is, must be cruel and crazy. What we are after is precisely this great flash of human nature—freedom! Freedom is the It's human nature!"

Tony's tone was proud and proud, and he smiled and opened his arms in gesture.

But the look in Kadinov's eyes next to him made him feel very weird.

"You seem to have something to say, sir?"

"China is the most special member of the Allied Forces!" Kadinov's eyes on the Avengers made them feel uncomfortable. It was a feeling mixed with insight and impatience, just like someone standing in the lower reaches of history looking down. Same old, ridiculous custom of the past.

"The Republic is not like the Soviets and the European Community. They don't even have a distribution system! There are no commodities, no currency, and no appearances that you pursue! As long as there is material, they have everything. The personal system can meet most of the needs of Chinese comrades. The productive capacity of industry is in the hands of real workers."

"Every Chinese comrade is a factory, the deepest and most essential combination of laborers and production tools. All labor products that you can buy with dollars can be manufactured at will for them, and the material things they can enjoy is unlimited, and each of them is comparable to the production capacity of a complete industrial country of yours."

"They are truly free. Your freedom requires money, and they don't use it!"

"But they did not show no motivation, indulged in enjoyment and extravagance, indulged in material things, and had nothing at all. The whole society did not lose its motivation for development. On the contrary, they abandoned greed, cruelty, cunning, deceit and arrogance, Become truly noble. Human nature does not seem to be low. After Chinese comrades liberate themselves and gain real freedom, human nature seems to become pure and simple.”

Kadinov impatiently stopped Captain America who wanted to speak.

"Three years ago, no one thought that there would be today. What you said was regarded as the truth at that time. At that time, we really believed that human nature is eternal, but a lie is a lie after all."

"You try to convince us that the world cannot be free from exploiters, just as the nobles in the Middle Ages tried to convince the serfs that the nobles were protecting them, using cruel means, shameless deceit, whatever you can think of, to prevent Anyone, everyone, uncover a secret!"

"That is, the world doesn't need you! Serfs don't need nobles, workers don't need exploiters."

"You guys need us!"

"Now, you may still believe your lies, but the facts will prove that - without you, human beings, the world will be a better place!" (To be continued.)
