American comics: From the old Uncle Wolf, he becomes omniscient and omnipotent

Chapter 171 0168: The Master of the Floating Island

The next morning, the first ray of sunlight pierced the mist on the horizon, and golden light shone on the land of Midway Island in the Pacific Ocean.

At this time, over Midway Island, a huge buzzing broke through the tranquility of the morning, and only dense black spots were seen flying from the sky. The air force cruising nearby used telescopes to see clearly that they were drones, their wings shining in the morning light. With a cold metallic luster.

"Tony, is this the new drone you secretly developed behind our back?"

On the beach, Rhodes looked at the drone on the horizon and saw nothing special.

He looked at Tony beside him: "They look ordinary."

"Looks ordinary? This is just the appearance, Rhodes. Don't just look at the appearance. This drone is a product designed by Banner and I."

Tony said, came to a table, opened a bottle of champagne, and took a sip: "They don't need to be connected to the Internet and can complete tasks alone."

"I'm not questioning you."

Rod said, "But isn't Banner a biologist?"

"That wasn't a clear choice."

Tony said, "Why not all five together?"

Rhodes paused: "And there is an air force patrolling the airspace around the North Island. If there is a situation at the earliest, more reinforcements can be dispatched."

Steve walked out of the camp, holding a blueprint in his hand: "According to recent detections, there are now a total of five floating islands. Which one should we start with?"

Tony remembered that the special teams dispatched by SHIELD were wiped out a few times before, and he asked: "So what is your suggestion?"

"Don't you see, help Uncle Sam figure out the floating island outside."

Rhodes took Tony and Steve back to the headquarters in the center of the island. The big screen was divided into dozens of small screens.

Tony Stark smiled. Seeing Steve's serious face, he also put away his smile: "When my drones reveal the mystery of this floating island, you will understand what I am going to do." what."

Tony and Steve agreed to Rod's proposal.

Steve pulled Tony to the corner, and seeing that there were few people around, he asked in a low voice: "Tony, what do you want?"

But Steve didn't expect to understand that Tony was still obsessed with investigating Rojo, but the next day he was obsessed with exploring the floating island.

Tony smiled: "To be precise, I got the inspiration from him when I developed this drone."

After all, Rhodes is the commander-in-chief of this place and knows the situation of the floating island better than they do.

Above is a live feed from the drone.

The Avengers drone group landed on the temporary airport runway at Midway Island. After the technical department inspected and determined that there were no problems, the technical department set the flight route of the drones.

"Tony, stop joking."

However, at this stage, the investigation into Rojo was at a standstill. Steve felt that it would be better to focus on other things for the time being to relieve everyone's pressure, so he did not ask Tony about his thoughts.

"Let's start with the nearest floating island on the north side. We internally call the island on the north side the North Island."

"Do as you say."

Rhodes shook his head and refused: "We know too little about the floating island, and sending a large number of drones rashly will only cause losses. The first few explorations are the best proof."

Their mission here today is to use drones to explore the floating island.

"Boy, the drone has approached the airspace of the North Island."

On the large screen at the headquarters, the drone approached the airspace of the North Island. The island was shrouded in a thin layer of fog, making the camera's view blurry.

For a moment, the camera gradually flickered, and the mist was like an impenetrable shield, tightly surrounding the island and blocking intruders.

A soldier said repeatedly: "Report sir, there is an abnormality in the drone signal."

"The situation is not good. Your drone signal is going to be lost."

Rhodes noticed that the drone had the same situation as before, and immediately shook his head. It seemed that the drone developed by Stark could not enter the interior of the island.

The signals of all the drones connected now are weakened, and if we go deeper, they may all lose contact as usual. "hold on."

Tony Stark calmed down and put on a pair of brown sunglasses: "Edith, start the automatic cruise mode."

"Who are you talking to?"

Rhodes was surprised: "This is an important military area, and the information cannot be disclosed to any outsider."

"Edith is my new assistant. She's in charge of the defense system, and Jarvis is in charge of my daily life."

Tony didn't explain much.

After the New York War, he was deeply aware of the real existence of extraterrestrial civilizations, so he created an artificial intelligence mainly focused on global defense. If there is an emergency, the artificial intelligence will calculate the best solution as soon as possible. plan.

"What does this have to do with Floating Island?"

Rhodes was wondering.

The drones that originally swarmed into the airspace of the North Island were lined up in an orderly manner and connected in a line. The drones at the rear stayed outside and stopped moving forward, while the drones in front of them were flying at intervals. overlapping.

"You plan to use drones to build a signal network?"

Rhodes suddenly realized.

Tony intends to use a specific drone as a signal station to receive the signal transmitted by the internal drone, which is equivalent to a wired connection to ensure stable signal transmission.

Tony nodded: "I have enough drones."

"But a drone costs hundreds of thousands of dollars."

Rhodes knew that only Tony Stark would come up with such a wasteful plan.

"Compared to being able to explore the floating island, everything seems insignificant."

Under Edith's precise calculations, the drone kept its signal stable and continued to head towards the interior of the North Island. The original layers of mist finally dissipated after flying several kilometers.

"Wait."

Steve narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the footage captured by the drone.

Rhodes and the soldiers stood up one after another, their constricted pupils filled with shock.

The drone slowly flew out of the hazy mist, and the scene in front of him instantly became clear. A vast expanse of snowfield came into view, and the vast white land seemed to be covered with a layer of pure silver, shining with dazzling light. The snow-capped mountains in the distance, illuminated by the rising sun, look like giant silver dragons winding and circling, which is extraordinary and magnificent.

This snowfield is quiet and solemn, with only the occasional sound of avalanches and the howling of the cold wind breaking the tranquility.

A stark contrast to the hot Pacific climate outside.

Rhodes was shocked: "Oh my god, it's snow season on this island."

"How can this be."

Steve wiped the sweat from his head and looked at the howling cold wind of the North Island: "Is it some kind of magic?"

Soon, someone noticed a detail, pointed at the screen and shouted: "Look, there is a building up there!"

At the top of the snowfield, there is a group of buildings. The windows are shining brightly in the cold wind, and the chimneys are still emitting black smoke.

"Sure enough, my judgment was not wrong."

Tony crossed his arms over his chest and his gaze became more determined.

Steve wondered: "What?"

"Didn't you ask me before why I wanted to explore the floating island?"

Tony looked at the captain, "Because, I think Rojo and his mutant tribe may be the masters of these floating islands."
