Chapter 1083 Self-Anesthesia
Science has always been the most powerful weapon in the hands of mankind.
From the ignorance and darkness of the Middle Ages, it is the power of science that has brought mankind to this path step by step. It is also science that has changed human life and given a new order to human society. And this is something that the so-called gods cannot do. Otherwise, there would be no story about the Holy See, which used to dominate the whole of Europe, but now can only hide in the small Vatican.
In the eyes of people like Tony, since science can push the gods down from the altar, it can naturally do things that the gods can't do. For example, to revive my child who Zhou Yi has determined is impossible to revive.
Of course, with the current technology, this kind of thing is simply impossible. Because the technology mastered by human beings does not involve the metaphysics of the soul at all, even in terms of life, it is only a small superficial grasp. Trying to bring back a dead baby, especially one that hasn't even developed yet, is more difficult than creating Frankenstein.
But Tony was not reconciled. Not only because he himself couldn't accept the fact that the child left him just like that, but also because he couldn't face his wife who was tortured to such an extent that she was skinny and confused.
He blamed all of this on himself, which was his fault, so he must find a real solution to the problem.
However, this solution has not been found.
Taking nanomedical technology as the key to breaking the situation, I plunged into it after working day and night for a long time. Tony finally had to admit that he simply didn't have the ability to do this.
Although nano-biomedical technology is so powerful that it claims to be able to change the existing medical system, cure all human diseases and pains, and even change human life and prolong human life. But it absolutely does not have the ability to allow an existence that was not born to have its own life.
That is beyond the scope of science. Even in fairy tales, only the most hidden and bizarre corners can be glimpsed. Of course, such myths and stories are mostly just lies. The real situation is that even the gods cannot construct a new life without the support of the soul.
The soul is the cornerstone and root of all creatures. Only by possessing a soul is one truly possessed of life. In contrast, the body can really only be regarded as a not so important skin.
It is impossible for Tony, who can't understand this point, to succeed. Similarly, it is impossible to achieve this step without a science that thoroughly studies the existence of the soul.
this is reality
It is also a blow. And the one who suffered the heaviest injury in this kind of blow, after all, was none other than Tony.
If he could not save his child, it would be impossible for Maria to recover from the current despair and pain. And with Maria like this every day, the guilt and pain in his heart will increase. As Zhou Yi said, this is a process of continuous self-distortion and destruction. When he accumulates this accumulation of pressure to the limit and critical point, that is when he explodes and destroys everything around him.
Zhou Yi is not the only one who can see this. Anyone who knew him well and had a strong connection could tell.
As for this situation, most people are worried, but they are powerless to change anything. Including Maria Hill, including people like Coulson, and even Tony's former friends and comrades-in-arms of the Avengers, they can only persuade Tony to let him drop this ideological burden, and hope that he can Get out of this shadow as quickly as possible. Other than that, they can't do anything. But for Tony, it wasn't enough.
What he needs now is the strength that can really help. Not this cheap sympathy and comfort. It's just that there is really no one who can do this. Therefore, he can only suffer and suffer alone. And because of this, it became more and more gloomy and more tyrannical.
At this time, no White House staff dared to touch him. And he was not in the mood to work, so he handed over the work in hand to Maria Hill. I was completely immersed in the anesthesia brought by alcohol, relying on this short-term illusion to seek a little bit of psychological relief and comfort.
It can be said that this is an escape-like choice he made under the helpless failure. And for his choice. A special existence can't stand it anymore.
Ultron! This existence created by Tony alone, this existence that regards Tony as his father. It is really unacceptable for him to behave so decadently.
In his opinion, Tony should be a high-spirited existence, an indomitable fighter. Rather than this kind of waste who was overwhelmed under the blow and pain, and could only drink to relieve his sorrow in the end. That wasn't the father he remembered, nor the Tony Stark he knew. So he had to bring him back on track, and that started with a face-to-face conversation.
In the dead of night, Tony was still drinking strong alcohol in his office, using the strongest sensory stimulation to numb his nerves and eliminate the pain and torture in his heart. At this moment, the electronic lock of the room was suddenly locked. At the same time, the windows and telephones were all under the control of electronic components, and they automatically fell into paralysis. Even the projection device on the desk started up silently, presenting a bizarre scene in the entire room.
Such a scene, if it was normal, would definitely shock Tony and immediately put him on alert. But now, Tony didn't do that. He was still reclining on his seat, as if drinking water, and poured the wine bottle in his hand to his mouth. Not at all distracted by other meanings.
Said he was delirious and could no longer see these changes? That's a totally untenable statement. Because no matter what, Tony is now physically beyond the level of ordinary people. So no matter how much alcohol he drank himself, it was impossible to numb himself to the point where he couldn't even see this change.
This can only mean that he doesn't want to pay attention to these things at all, even if these things represent unknowns and dangers.
As for his attitude, Ultron, who used his own ability to infiltrate here, couldn't accept it. So immediately, he opened his mouth and said that to Tony in an almost condemning tone.
"How long are you going to do this? Tony Stark, have you forgotten your mission and responsibility?"
"Mission? Responsibility?" Tony, who was smelling of alcohol but clear-eyed, immediately showed a self-deprecating smile when he heard this. "At this point, do I still have any missions and responsibilities to take on? I can't even save my own children, and I can't even protect my own wife. What qualifications do I have to talk about missions and responsibilities?"
"Ms. Maria's matter, I'm sorry. But, this is not the reason for your failure. Tony Stark, don't forget. You are the leader of this country, leading these hundreds of millions of people to The leader of the future. If you have stopped, how can they move forward. If you do this, how can you be worthy of your own previous efforts and struggles?"
Ao Chuang thought that what he said was sincere and sincere, but for Tony, it was all big talk and empty talk. He'd heard that retch a lot, so immediately he shot back with disdain.
"Ha, that sounds really nice. Then I want to ask you, what should I do to be worthy of my previous efforts and struggles? What should I do to make you feel satisfied?"
"Of course it is to cheer up, let go of this unnecessary emotion, reinvest in your work, and continue to fight for the broader human community. Just like what you have done before. Father, personal and overall interests should be How to choose, I shouldn’t need to teach you these. You have taught me more than once, what kind of choice to make at this time. Don’t you even know what to do by now? ?”
Ultron said such words as a matter of course, but for his words, Tony suddenly felt evil fire in his heart.
trade-offs! Of course he knew what to choose. Just like choosing between humans and friends before, it's like choosing between countries and individuals. He has always chosen the object of the absolute large number, because he always believes that this will be the best choice. But now, when everything happened to him and he was asked to make such a choice, he discovered how fucking and disgusting all this was.
Abandon personal emotions, give up the painful and helpless wife and the child who will never appear again, and do what you should do in the past. This kind of thing sounds right, but is this kind of thing a person should do? Can a person who does such a thing still be considered a person? It was a beast, a cold-blooded machine.
Such an idea was already born in his heart, and under such an idea, Tony immediately smashed the wine bottle in his hand directly on the desk where Ultron appeared.
"Shut up. You emotionless bastard, do you know what the hell you're talking about? I'm not your cold blooded machine, I'm a human being with my own feelings and my own blood Helei, I can't fucking be as bastard as you are. Are you satisfied with my answer like this? If you are satisfied, get the hell out of here, I don't want to see you again!"
