Can the combination of Tony Stark and Steve Rogers be called a savior? Based on the abilities of these two people, there is no problem.
And whether it's a movie line or a comic line, the two people's experience in the Marvel world is enough to deserve this title.
If it were a fantasy world, maybe the two of them would have to discount it a bit, but in this world that takes the technological route, and even the government has been controlled or even replaced by capital companies, Tony Stark's talents can be brought into full play.
Of course, Tony and Steve, who were new to Night City, could only follow V and find a way to gain a foothold first.
After all, the two of them were thrown directly into this era. They had nothing on them except their own equipment, and they had no foundation at all in this world.
Although they don't know what kind of test they will face in this world, they are still mortals anyway and must find a place to stay first instead of sleeping on the street.
Fortunately, V met Jack Wills, a street boy from Night City, through the last business he received from the Wanderer family. With his help, the three of them settled down in Night City.
Although Jack Wells looks like a big guy with a somewhat vicious face, once you get along with him, you will find that he is a reliable and enthusiastic friend.
He follows tradition and morality, and is also enthusiastic and generous. Even in a ghost place like Night City, he pursues his ideals and dreams, and heeds his mother's words to stay away from gangs. This is really incredible given his background.
things.
Although the job he is currently working as a mercenary is a job that literally involves throwing one's life and blood, it is still slightly safer than joining gangs on the streets. After all, the battles between gangs in Night City are really endless.
He'll be hit in the head by a bullet.
And Jack is not a reckless person. With some connections and his own hard work, he has also successfully made a name for himself in this industry.
After V, Tony and Steve joined, this small team of four quickly became famous.
Among them, V and Jack undoubtedly go out to take jobs to make money, while Steve and Tony are investigating and understanding all aspects of the world in order to analyze the tests they need to complete when they are thrown into this world.
During this process, Steve occasionally took on tasks that allowed him to learn more about Night City and the world, and by the way, it also subsidized his and Tony's wallets.
After all, they couldn't always rely on V and Jack. The fact that they could help Steve and Tony settle in Night City was already a big help, and they owed them a lot of favors.
Tony and Steve obviously don't like to owe favors, so after settling down, Steve often followed V and Jack around. As long as the two of them greeted Steve, he would definitely carry his personal belongings.
A distinctive shield to help them out.
As for Tony, he used various second-hand junks he picked up to start saving his first work in this world. At the same time, he was also transforming the suitcase suit in his hand.
The design concept of the suitcase suit is that it is light and easy to carry, and can be quickly put on in some situations where it is inconvenient to bring other suits just in case. Therefore, in terms of defensive performance and output power, it is inevitable to give in to the deformation design.
But now Tony felt that he needed immediate combat power, so he also modified this suit.
Originally, according to Tony's character, he would not modify and upgrade his old suit, but would directly make a new one.
Those old suits that were damaged in various missions were dismantled and recycled into parts and materials, and there was never any record of continued use after repair.
Because for Tony Stark, repairing a damaged suit is really not much cheaper than making a new one, and the new suit can incorporate more new ideas and new technologies, and be constantly upgraded and updated.
Each generation will only become stronger than the previous generation.
But now he is in a world where he has nothing and can only use these second-hand scraps, instead of his hometown, which has the world's top laboratories and the support of the huge Stark Industries, and does not have so many resources and money for him to build.
So even though he was reluctant, Tony had to be as frugal as possible.
Fortunately, the technology in the cyberpunk world is not weak. Tony is very satisfied with various alloys and electronic parts. Moreover, Tony is very clever and can quickly turn second-hand goods into useful ones.
nice one.
Renovating and optimizing the design is a piece of cake for top engineer and inventor Tony Stark.
It's just that Tony didn't like to change other people's designs in the past. Because of his arrogant personality, he believed that only his own technology and the things he made were the best, and he mostly dismissed other people's inventions and creations.
Of course, Tony also has enough respect for truly powerful technologies and excellent inventions.
It's just that only a handful of people can get his respect.
As the former top arms supplier in the United States, Tony naturally disdained the shoddy "goods" commonly seen on the streets of Night City, but considering the safety of his two friends V and Jack, Tony still pinched his nose and gave
The two of them modified several good guns that were easy to use.
Especially the pair of pistols customized by Jack, they can be said to have been completely upgraded and reborn in Tony's hands.
Not only has its power made a qualitative leap, but the world's smart ammunition that can self-aiming and locking on targets has also been used by Tony. Coupled with other detailed changes and high-performance accessories, Jack is invincible when fighting guns on the street.
unfavorable.
If I have to say it, the blue items all over the streets in the game have been enhanced to the point of golden immortality.
Although Jack's two customized pistols can be considered good guns with good performance, they cannot compare to Tony Stark's meticulous craftsmanship.
Not to mention v, this former wanderer and now a mercenary in Night City has her own understanding of firearms, so she prefers guns that are powerful, have accuracy and accuracy above the standard line, and are reliable and durable.
Firearms, rather than pursuing high-tech content.
For Tony, this kind of request is obviously a slight. After all, how can the work he made by hand have the specifications of a finalized mass-produced product for the military?
But as the former largest arms supplier to the military, Tony also understands that this requirement coupled with cost control is actually the most difficult requirement to meet.
Because this not only requires mature and reliable technology, but also requires that the combination and design of various technologies can withstand the test.
Durability does not mean that it can be used for a long time simply by holding it in the hand, but that it can ensure sufficient reliability and service life for normal use regardless of the harsh environment of ice, rain, snow, wind, sand, waves, or rivers and sediment.
This resulted in Tony spending much more time and effort on the firearms for V than on modifying Jack's two custom-made pistols.
After all, Jack's requirements are very simple, cool appearance and reliable performance, plus being easy to use when shooting guns on the street. This is still very easy for Tony to achieve.
However, the top geniuses in the Marvel world can still maximize their intelligence even if they change the world. After spending some time, Tony not only gave V and Jack a set of useful weapons and equipment, but also put them on
Those implants were fully upgraded, and the firewalls, built-in programs, and communication protocols of the implants were rewritten for the two of them, so that they would not be invaded by hackers at a glance.
It can almost be said that they exchanged shotguns for guns. They upgraded from a bunch of second-hand third-rate products to top-notch hand-made products. Naturally, V and Jack's combat effectiveness also skyrocketed. With the help of Tony and Steve, they soon started in Night City.
The rise.
It's just that when V and Jack were building their reputations, Tony and Steve didn't just pursue making a name for themselves in Night City and becoming successful legends like the two of them did.
Instead, they carefully collect information about this world, and then put together all kinds of intelligence to analyze what kind of test they will have to survive in this world.
However, when they analyzed all the information they could get, they still didn't understand what the test they needed to go through was.
If it were World War II, the goal would be very simple, which is to defeat Germany and win the war, so that world history can develop according to its original direction, instead of turning into the Man in the High Castle or returning to Wolfenstein.
But right now, although the world is very bad and everything seems to be burned to ashes, Tony and Steve only see the problems in the world and have no idea of changing anything.
"This world is a piece of shit. I really don't understand why we were thrown into this world." Where the two of them settled, Tony was drinking low-quality mixed drinks while complaining to Steve:
"This thing is just like it was mixed with dish soap. They actually call this thing the best whiskey in Night City?"
"Only on the streets, Tony. And with the money in our pockets, after you finish messing with all your inventions, we can only afford this level of whiskey." Steve was not as dissatisfied as Tony, and took the
I picked up a can of beer that was also blended and drank it without any objection.
In front of both of them was the same cheap fast food pizza, which was fine for Steve. The most important thing he learned on the battlefield was that no matter how unpalatable the food is, as long as it can fill your stomach.
, it is a good thing.
However, regarding Tony's comment that the world is a piece of shit, he still nodded in agreement: "TV programs blatantly call the casualties caused by street gang fires a dead man's lottery, and various media promote companies and capital.
The upper-class people live in a space station in space, while the lower-class people live in skyscraper apartments as if they were imprisoned in a concentration camp...
This world is simply like hell. If we hadn't checked the historical data and judged that this world is not our original world, I would have despaired.
Just think about what our country and our world will look like in a few decades. Just thinking about it makes people feel breathless."
As he spoke, Steve flattened the beer can in his hand, then threw it into the trash can with a flick of his hand, making a "dong" sound.
Tony shook the wine glass in his hand. Faced with Steve who rarely lost his temper, he did not goad Steve, but said: "According to my analysis, the main reason why the world has become like this is because of those large enterprises.
Their development has not been restricted. They have grown into a giant cartel and are constantly plundering profits. Even political entities cannot stop their progress.
In our world, the introduction of anti-monopoly laws has restricted these large companies. In addition, the existence of the red ghost of the past has prevented these capital groups from expanding indefinitely, but has been restrained and split up.
If there is no antitrust law, I am afraid that super giant cartels, trusts, syndicates and companies will appear in our lives, dominate people's lives and even control the entire country."
"When you said this, you seemed to have forgotten that you are also a big capitalist. As far as I know, Stark Industries seemed to be a monopoly when it was doing military industry in the past, right?" Steve heard Tony say this and also
I couldn't help but join in the discussion.
But it's obvious that Steve Rogers' academic qualifications are not very high, and he is not a hero known for his eloquence and knowledge. He doesn't have much to say on this matter.
But Steve knew that this was obviously wrong. How could a normal society or country allow companies to control everything?
Profit-seeking enterprises will do whatever it takes to extract the surplus value of the people and collect all available benefits into their own arms. Without the legal constraints imposed by political entities, capital will become the most terrifying monster.
"I know, but even if Stark Industries monopolizes everything, it will not let the world and society become like this!" Tony looked a little embarrassed, but he still said some decisive words.
However, he also understood that there would be problems if the topic were discussed any further, so he put down his glass of wine and changed the subject: "Let's get back to business. What do you think the guy who calls himself God and the Supreme Mage did for throwing us into this world?
for what?
It’s impossible to want to see Iron Man and Captain America join the street gangs, right? I think they might want us to save the world..."
"Saving the world? It's too difficult." Even Steve Rogers, who has never chosen to give up, has no hope: "The monopoly of large companies has become unshakable, except for competitors of the same size.
There is no other way to defeat them in the game between them.
Although the people's lives are difficult, the material abundance brought by high technology allows them to live with the lowest standards and still ensure that they do not starve to death.
This leaves them with almost no spirit of resistance. The entire social trend of thought seems to be a kind of self-narcosis of carpe diem. It is too difficult to save and change such a world..."
