Chapter 16: Mecha Fighting Competition
Every city has deserted edges, abandoned playgrounds, bankrupt factories and other places, these places are the venues for mecha fighting matches, and they will also apply for activity permits from the local government in the name of circus performances, this kind of prosperous market thing, naturally no one will refuse.
Although the mecha is strategic equipment, Tony Stark characterized the mecha as a "high-tech prosthetic" at a public military hearing, and many people really use these mecha parts as their own prosthetics, which makes all publicly active mechs without weapon systems a clear "civilian equipment".
In fact, the North American Eagle uses case law, and although there are strict rules on weapons and equipment that cannot be possessed by the private sector, there are no strict boundaries.
For example, automatic weapons are not allowed to be privately owned, but the official explanation for automatic weapons is "pull the trigger once and fire more than two bullets in a row", but now many weapons are laser weapons, pull the trigger once, and fire a "bullet", but the time that this bullet can last depends entirely on when you release the trigger.
So legally, a Noh weapon is not considered an "automatic weapon".
And the case law has played a great role in promoting the spread of mechas, because Tony Stark, the first case, will be positioned as "high-tech prosthetics" in the future, and the government will not be able to confiscate them on a large scale through legal means - given that Iron Man is also equipped with miniature missiles, it is also legal to have missiles on high-tech prosthetics.
The only way to do this is to use a murder clause: when someone uses a high-tech prosthetic leg to kill someone, these mechs are confiscated as murder weapons, similar in nature to the kitchen knives that have killed people.
This has contributed to the rapid rise and prosperity of mech tournaments, and some local TV stations have started broadcasting this new thing live, especially the opening of the club league, and those detailed terms (the rules of the King of Fighters tournament have been modified to be used) have excited these people at once.
In the minds of the North American Eagle people, the more detailed the rules of the competition, the fairer and more exciting it looks, and the rules of the entire mecha fighting competition are simply thicker than the mecha maintenance manual, and it is not easy to read - then this competition must be very fair.
But there are agents, and the club has a dedicated lawyer – all of whom have little experience, but they are professional.
These clubs basically have shares in the major leagues, as well as shares in Telvarnio - there are only three that can produce mecha intelligent operating systems, Stark Group, Osborne Industries, Delve Sirnaomics, and originally Teslac Industries, but they fell.
Osborne's operating system is mainly for the military, they can't go too deep into the civilian market, although there are also several teams, but most of them are for technical verification, and the real battle is much more reliable than data analysis in the laboratory.
Stark Group also followed up as soon as possible, but due to Tony's arrogance, their position within the group was more like Tony's pastime, just like the Stark Industries titled racing team, which was a surface engineering done to show the group's technical strength, so their operating system was unique, but there was no purchase at all outside.
Eighty percent of the market is an open intelligent platform released by Delu Shengnuo, users can add and delete functional modules according to their own habits and hobbies, and they can also use the platform to write their own characteristic operating system, and the price is not expensive, if you buy Delu Shengnuo's intelligent chip, the system can also be sent.
For this reason, Telvivino also received a warning from the Ministry of Defense that it was spreading dangerous procedures, but the TPE's lawyers were not afraid of the Ministry of Defense, and a warning letter on A4 paper was exchanged for a 400-page reply for the Ministry of Defense.
Because of Zhang Jinyang's guidance from time to time, Delu Shengnuo is already the world's leading smart life business, almost every five people who use smartphones, three out of them are their users, and the headquarters has always been in New York City, which is more magnificent than the United Nations Building.
In terms of intelligent systems, apart from Stark Industries' ability to compete with them at the high end of the market, there is no rival to it - those competitors who are still struggling are deliberately indulgent in order to avoid the trouble caused by market homogeneity, and can also maintain the vitality of the enterprise through external pressure.
But this time for the seizure of the civilian mecha market, it has nothing to do with Zhang Jinyang, this is the Siren's request, because these systems are also responsible for collecting civilian mecha design data for Oranides, and several of them have not had amazing designs for a long time, and the mecha design department needs new blood and a little stimulation.
Tolbert was very dissatisfied with the mecha event, but he had no legal basis to ban the event, and the Ministry of Defense was not full of supporters of him, as for Congress...... As long as they think of the benefits brought by the NBA, the hearts of all lawmakers are as enthusiastic as the white sand in the Sahara at noon, and it is a sign of their sanity not to assassinate opponents.
Fortunately, in order to appease him - after all, he has also made a lot of achievements, those mecha crimes have indeed been reduced to a large extent, and his superiors think that his ability is good - the Ministry of Defense has raised his level of secrecy, and he has officially joined the sequence of Minister Ross, and began to contact the secrets that were hidden behind the fog.
And even more dissatisfied with the mecha event is Tony Stark, for the simple reason - Iron Man is banned from racing, as are Iron Patriot and Falcon Sam.
The reason given by the competition committee is very cooked, the purpose of the competition is to promote the exchange of civilian mecha enthusiasts, and refuse to participate in the military and players with military background, government and government background - the competition committee is also very playful to say that if the Olympic Games are mecha events, Iron Man can represent the North American Eagle, and so can the Iron Patriot and the Falcon, after all, there is a team competition.
In fact, everyone thinks it is very reasonable, just like the Misty Knight, who has been working for TPE and has a real high-tech prosthetic, is not allowed to participate in the competition, because there are so many cooperation projects between TPE and the government.
Besides, the driverless remote control mode used in the competition, Iron Man's advantage is too great, and there is nothing else to do when he goes.
But out of respect for the first bill he established "high-tech prosthetics", the competition committee invited Iron Man as a guest of honor for the competition, and he would speak at the opening ceremony, and he also presented the individual unarmed combat award at the award ceremony - all in the limelight.
As for Tony's dissatisfaction and complaints about his inability to participate in the opening ceremony, as well as the solicitation of the winning team, Chiguoguo, the competition committee put up with it, which is not worth mentioning in terms of the huge popularity that Tony brings.
