Tony felt a little strange that Arthur had called him that.
But it's alright.
Arthur is not wrong, he is the Iron Man.
"Hello, the greatest writer of the century."
Tony also responded to Arthur and said, "I have to admit that you're not just a talented writer."
"He even has incredible financial management skills."
"Even in the current situation, you still took a risk by buying shares in Stark Industries. It seems like you have a lot of confidence in Stark Industries."
Even though Tony was praising Arthur, he was also at the same time praising Stark Industries.
Anyone could tell that Tony was bragging in a disguised way.
Tony Stark is a pretty narcissistic guy, but he has the capital for it.
Pepper and Happy are already used to his personality, and Arthur doesn't mind it.
Because in Arthur's opinion, if he had Tony's wealth, he might be even more narcissistic than him.
Arthur also boasted, "Compared to Stark Industries, I believe in my vision more."
"I read your book Terminator, the setting and robots are very interesting. To be honest, my first Mark 1 armor was somewhat inspired by what I read in your books."
Arthur was surprised by Tony's words.
Unexpectedly, his book accidentally affected Tony's Mark 1 armor.
"But that Skynet AI isn't very good. If I were the one who created it, it wouldn't have any chance of rebelling against humanity."
Tony spoke confidently.
JARVIS is loyal to him, he can guarantee that with his life.
As long as he created the artificial intelligence, he can guarantee that it will be 100% loyal to humans.
The same thing can't happen as happened in the world of Terminator.
Arthur smiled in dismay.
(Just wait a few more years, what you create in the future will be much scarier than any Skynet robot)
Pepper felt like Tony was talking too much today.
This is rare, even more so in front of a person he has just met.
Maybe this is some kind of sympathy between the two geniuses.
In Pepper's opinion, Arthur and Tony belong to the same type of genius, but in different fields.
"By the way, Pepper, there are some Stark Industries partners over there. Go over there and talk to them."
Pepper looked in the direction Tony pointed, and indeed there were some people there who were partners with Stark Industries.
But that was before.
But there is no justice in the financial world, Pepper understands this, she says goodbye to Tony and Arthur and goes there.
Then Tony turned his head and picked up his car key, "Happy, my car doesn't seem to be parked properly today, go over there and park my car again."
"Remember, the front of the car must face inward."
"It's okay, Tony."
Arthur's eyes narrowed, is Tony sending these two away?
Although he didn't know what Tony was doing, Arthur didn't say anything.
After Happy and Pepper left, Tony picked up his glass, sat down at the bar, and said to the pretty bartender, "Hey, get me a whiskey."
At the same time, he didn't forget to wink at the beautiful bartender.
"The women who came today are very beautiful."
"Right uh... Arthur..."
Tony thought for a moment before remembering Arthur's name.
"Yes, and if you hadn't sent them away just now, I would still be talking to them."
"Now tell me, Mr. Stark, what do you want from me?"
"I want to ask you, in your view of the Terminator world, what kind of energy technology do these robots use?"
"Do you think there is a possibility of reproducing this type of technology in real life?"
When Tony finished speaking, he seemed a little relieved to finally ask.
He thought he must be going crazy for deciding to ask such a question to the author of a science fiction book.
But now there is no turning back.
Although JARVIS is experimenting with new elements, Tony himself already knows that no element on Earth can be used as a substitute for palladium.
In other words, as long as he is still using the ark reactor to maintain his life.
Symptoms of palladium poisoning will continue to appear.
The thing that keeps him alive is killing him.
For now, he could only wait to die slowly.
This feeling was so tormenting, so... Scary, that Tony would do everything he could to save himself.
Even though I had to use a science fiction book as inspiration.
Judging by Tony's performance now, Arthur also guessed what Tony wanted.
Arthur realized that, at this moment, Tony Stark was slowly dying from the effects of palladium poisoning.
"The Ark reactor technology you have now has far surpassed the power technology used in Terminator."
"As for whether it can be done in real life, that's something you should think about, not me, a book writer."
Tony's face turned a little dark at that moment, and when the pretty bartender handed him the drink, he just smiled wryly in response.
As Arthur said, he already tried, he tried every way he could.
And the result is always the same, the radioactive element used is still palladium.
The reason he asked Arthur was just to try and see if he could get another answer.
But the results were not good.
And another option was discarded.
"Thank you for answering this question for me, Arthur."
Holding his glass of wine, Tony shook Arthur's hand before heading out and blending into the crowd and heading towards the gate.
"Why did he leave before I could finish talking?"
Arthur was stunned.
Is this guy an idiot?
But this is not surprising, Tony is being tortured, physically and mentally by the palladium poisoning and is completely overcome by impotence.
He transferred all of his Stark Industry shares to Pepper and gave Rhodes his Mark 1 armor, hoping he could inherit the Iron Man mantle.
So he calmly waited for death.
If Tony hadn't walked too fast, Arthur might have called him to give him some tips.
"Forget it, I'm sure there will be a chance in the future."
Arthur continued sitting at the bar, during which many people came to talk to him.
It was then that a voluptuous redheaded woman entered the party.
In an instant, she became the focus of the public.
But unlike what happened with Arthur, most people at the party were afraid of the redhead.
They all consciously moved away from her.
Arthur also noticed that the hot redhead was walking towards him, so the girls who were about to get to his side turned and walked away.
The redhead came to Arthur's side, extended her hand, and introduced herself, "Hello, Mr. Morgan."
"My name is Jean Gray and I'm a big fan of your books."

A/N: Before anyone talks about Skynet's robots being scarier than Ultron, you're wrong. This was taken from the Wiki but it will still be useful:
The character's visual appearance and powers were varied, but common superhuman powers include levels of strength, speed, resistance, durability, and reflexes; flight at supersonic speeds, and various offensive weapons such as concussive blasts of energy fired from his optical sensors and hands, and an "electroencephalography" that puts the victim into a deadly coma. This ray also allows Ultron to hypnotize and place victims under his mental control, or subliminally implant hypnotic commands into their minds to be activated at a later time. Ultron also can convert electromagnetic radiation into electrical energy for use or storage. Ultron has a genius intellect, a capacity for creative intelligence and self-repair, superhuman cybernetics, analytical capabilities, as well as being able to process information and make calculations with superhuman speed and high precision. The character is an expert in robotics and strategy.
