I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

After all, the creation of the new elements still requires the sand table model of the 1974 Stark Industrial Exposition in Chili Pepper's office.

Upon hearing Depp's reply, Tony immediately called Jarvis: "Jarvis, help me change into the Mark 4 armor, and also get me a Mark 4.5 Sky suit."

Jarvis took immediate action upon receiving the order, and all the robotic arms in the workshop worked together simultaneously. A few seconds later, Tony was fully dressed in his armor.

At the same time, a set of blue and silver suitcase-style armor was placed at his feet.

Chapter 6 You Are the Iron Man

"This is the Mark 4.5 Sky, which is a test model, but don't worry, it's absolutely safe."

Listening to Tony's words, Depp walked over with some skepticism.

Following Tony's example, Depp first stepped on the middle of the blue and silver briefcase, then grabbed the handles of the armor that popped out from the middle with both hands, raised them to his chest and pulled gently.

Then the armor burst open rapidly like sparks from iron, spreading out along the body.

It was icy cold, but it felt pretty good.

As the last piece of silver visor fell from above his head, the scene before Depp's eyes changed.

The high-tech screen gave Depp a wider field of vision, with countless data cascading down from the right, making it impossible for the average person to see clearly.

However, this was not a problem for Depp at all. His Jarvis-level computing power allowed him to understand the blue and silver armor in no time.

The Mark 4.5 Sky was an experimental model developed by Tony Stark. It almost completely abandoned all weapons and heavy bulletproof armor to reduce weight, and was equipped with a more powerful propulsion system.

Like other battlesuits, the Mark 4.5 Sky scans the user's brainwaves and operates directly based on the user's consciousness.

Compared to the Mark 5 Suitcase Armor, which is also a lighter and less equipped version, the Mark 4.5 Sky Armor has fewer weapons and is faster.

In terms of speed alone, it is almost twice as fast as the fully equipped Mark IV.

Tony, dressed in Mark IV armor, walked up from behind and patted Depp on the shoulder.

It made a "clang clang clang" sound.

"How are you feeling?" Tony asked.

Depp casually took a couple of steps, then looked in the mirror and exclaimed, "It feels great, it's really beautiful."

"Of course, it's a suit of armor that only I can make."

At this moment, Coulson also noticed the two men's unusual behavior, raised his pistol and shouted, "Hey, what are you two doing? Take off your armor and sit down properly!"

Upon hearing this, Tony raised his hand and aimed it at Agent Coulson, causing the arc pulse cannon in the center of his palm to pulsate electromagnetically.

"Are you teaching me what to do?"

Upon seeing this, Agent Coulson immediately sat down and picked up the half-eaten bowl of soup again: "Seriously, Depp, this stuff is really good."

Depp, barely suppressing a laugh, said, "If you like it, that's fine. There's more in the pot."

Tony slightly raised his toes, his buttocks slightly upturned, his arms hanging vertically with his palms facing down. Then, white flames shot out from the thrusters in his palms and soles of his feet, and he slowly rose into the air.

Depp looked at Iron Man in mid-air and couldn't help but complain.

Sure enough, her takeoff posture is so girly!

However, Tony didn't think there was anything wrong with his posture and said to Depp, "Just like me, activate the thrusters and slowly ascend. It might be difficult at first, but you can try a few more times."

Tony was already waiting for the show to begin, as Depp was a rookie using the armor for the first time.

He was now just waiting to see Depp being tossed around like a ball by the thrusters, and then an hour later come to him dejectedly saying, "Tony, please tell me the secret to controlling it."

Who told him to twist his head so hard and call me "uncle"!

If it still doesn't work after your own special guidance, use the automatic control system to let Depp follow you as you fly.

This is also why Tony dared to give Depp the Iron Man armor; Tony has the highest level of control over all Iron Man armors.

He can activate or deactivate any suit of armor with a single command.

Therefore, he was not worried that Depp would act recklessly by relying on his armor.

Upon hearing this, Depp made a quick preparation, then took off in the same manner and floated next to Tony.

Steady as a rock!

"Is that so, Tony?" Depp said excitedly. "Indeed, your girlish takeoff posture is the most scientific."

"A girlish takeoff posture?" Tony exclaimed. "By the way, is this really your first time using the armor? Oh, of course it is, but why are you so skilled!"

Damn it!

This was simply unbelievable to Tony. After all, even a genius like himself had practiced for a long time and was thrown around countless times before he finally learned how to operate the armor skillfully, even with a bruised and swollen face.

But Depp actually learned how to take off in just one minute!

However, apart from taking off, the other maneuvers also require a long period of practice to master. Depp, you rookie, keep a close eye on me!

With that in mind, Tony rushed out of the Liberty City villa and performed various maneuvers in the sky, including sprinting, taking off, diving, and circling.

However, after completing the entire routine, he did not receive the envious praise from Depp.

Instead, he saw Depp's blue and silver armor also take off and make the same move as he had just made.

Not only was it faster, but it also completed one and a half more rotations than I did.

Depp then praised, "As expected of the armor made by Tony, it's really easy to operate."

Tony: "......"

Seriously, you've gone a bit too far, buddy!

Depp couldn't see Tony's expression behind the mask, but it made him feel good at the moment.

Anyone who gets to experience Iron Man's armor firsthand will feel just as happy as he did.

Depp piloted the blue-silver Mark 4.5 Sky, speeding across the Bleuk coast.

Although he was wearing armor, Depp couldn't feel the cool, slightly salty sea breeze of the Blake Coast. But thankfully, there were countless blonde beauties in bikinis along the coast to feast his eyes on.

Although none of these blonde beauties have a figure as good as Natasha's... well, it's free anyway, so I might as well take a few glances.

Tony composed himself and reminded Depp, "We should go."

“Okay, let’s see who’s faster!” Depp exclaimed excitedly.

As soon as the words were spoken, the two figures, Blue Silver and Gold Red, shot into the sky amidst flames.

The two chased each other, but Depp was always in the lead.

"Damn it, I shouldn't have made that suit of armor so fast." Tony thought to himself, looking at Depp who was still thirty meters in front of him. "But on the other hand, it's definitely the suit of armor I made, it's fucking fast!"

Depp, who was leading the way, wasn't worried about getting lost. Although his armor didn't have Jarvis's assistance, he could still use basic navigation and other intelligent assistance functions.

After learning that Tony's villa was in San Diego, he specifically used his phone to check its distance from New York.

It's over four thousand kilometers long!

According to the movie plot, Tony would have driven to find Pepper Potts, which would have taken dozens of hours even in an Audi R8.

However, it would be much more reasonable to just fly there in armor; it would probably only take a little over an hour.

Halfway through the flight, Tony suddenly said, "Wait a minute, Depp, I'm going downstairs to buy something."

After saying that, Tony flew directly downwards.

Seeing Tony suddenly turn around, Depp sighed and also fell down.

Tony, you're going to owe me another favor.

Along the highway between Los Angeles and New York, an overweight stall owner sat in front of his strawberry stand, staring in shock at Iron Man descending from the sky.

Tony flipped open his visor and said to the vendor, "Give me a box of strawberries, how much?"

"Six dollars a box, Iron Man... sir." The stall owner swallowed hard, then poured the two boxes together and handed them over.

Tony folded up his hand armor and took off his watch: "I didn't bring any money, here, take this."

"This is too expensive, sir." The stall owner was somewhat stunned as he looked at the million-dollar watch in front of him.

Tony then shoved the watch into the other person's hand and took the packaged strawberries.

Wow, what a tycoon... He bought a box of strawberries for a million dollars. I definitely underestimated the price when I sold him the porcelain bottle!

Johnny Depp, who just bought a bag of mangoes from next door, suddenly felt like he'd lost a fortune.

He snatched the strawberries from Tony's hand and said, "Let me see what you bought? Damn it, it's strawberries! I'm allergic to them."

After saying that, he put the strawberry back into Tony's hand.

"You're allergic to strawberries? Depp, you really have no taste..."

Tony was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly realized he had forgotten something.

Oh my god, Little Chili is also allergic to strawberries! I completely forgot!

Thinking of this, he put the strawberries back into the vendor's hand, then took the watch from the vendor's hand and gave it to Depp.

“I owe you a favor, brother,” Tony said. “I’ll trade this watch for that bag of mangoes.”

"That's great!" Depp exclaimed excitedly in his native dialect as he took the watch.

A bag of mangoes that cost five dollars was exchanged for a million dollars; Depp said the money came out of nowhere.

"Perhaps this is what they mean by good deeds being rewarded."

The stall owner watched the two people walk away and muttered, "I think I forgot to ask for autographs."

At the entrance of Stark Tower, Depp and Tony landed slowly amidst gasps from the crowd.

Depp's armor was put away again, turning into a briefcase.

Standing in front of Stark Tower, Tony looked up at Pepper Potts' office high up in the sky.

He sighed and stammered, "Depp, to be honest... I... I'm a little lost right now."

He pointed to his chest and continued, "Ever since I knew I was going to die, I've realized I've never truly seen myself. I don't even know what I'll be after I take off this metal suit."

For Tony, who is deeply mired in palladium poisoning, his life has already begun its countdown.

Watching himself slowly walk towards death gradually filled him with a sense of loss and fear.

He was afraid to face all of this, afraid to lose his life, afraid to lose everything his father had left him, and even more afraid that he would never see Pepper Pepper again.
