Chapter 44: You're Just a Mortal
A dispute that was supposed to last for hours ended in less than an hour under the pressure of a strong dragon.
"Would you like to visit Stark Tower, at least I think it's a lot taller than your titan's office building!" After the meeting, Pepper suddenly stopped in front of Fisher, who was leaving, and extended an invitation to him.
"Oh!" Fisher glanced at the corner behind him, where Stark was standing on his feet and watching the situation.
"That's an honor!"
I have to say that even if an important department is closed, Stark Industries is still a very large organization, the entire building is 72 floors high, and the top six floors are Stark's private space, usually only Pepperpotts has permission to enter, but usually Stark rarely comes to this building, and this is still the meeting of shareholders.
Starting from the sixty-sixth floor down, there are dozens of departments and institutions such as Stark Industries' aerospace department, biotechnology department, pharmaceutical research and development, power mechanism, energy development, electronics industry, software research and development, and even insurance and banking business, yes, Stark is also involved in the banking industry, after all, in the United States, it is impossible for a consortium not to engage in a bank, as we all know, it is not insured to put money in a bank, but it is no problem to put it in your own bank, even the Boston consortium has Boston First National Bank.
Along the way, Fisher visited Stark Industries' newly developed pineapple 6S mobile phone, pineapple tablet, and new energy electric vehicles.
"This guy can run 700 kilometers on a single charge, but there are no charging piles out of the city, and we are discussing with the federal government to see how to solve this problem!" Pepper pointed to a small blue car about the size of a mini parked in the hall with some regret.
"According to American tradition, if the charging pile you put outside the city is not taken care of, it will disappear in less than three days!" has lived in the United States for almost 30 years, plus more than 40 years in the previous life, although I am not proficient in American folklore, but it is not much worse, even if the charging pile is useless, but those black brothers or drunkards still will not let it go.
"Well, maybe we can try doing it like a gas station!"
"That's fine, but you're not going to be able to recoup your costs for a few years before this car goes into large-scale operation!"
"Cost is not something we have to consider, we want to lead the development of the industry!" I don't know where the big cat suddenly popped out, and he was still holding a bag of chocolate chips in his hand.
"Uh, Pepper, it's almost noon, aren't we going to invite these guests to lunch?" Seeing that everyone on the field was looking at him, Stark waved his hand and pretended that he had just passed by.
"Okay, of course, let's go to the top floor!"
Perhaps to show off his love of food, Stark sent Harpy to directly wrap up one of his favorite Turkish kebab restaurants, and the chef and waiter all pulled them to the terrace on the top floor of the building to cook lunch here, the meat was just flown in Australian Wagyu beef, and even Stark opened a bottle of royal salute from his collection.
The sizzling beef with carefully baked spices, as well as the grilled crispy beef ribs on the outside and tender on the inside, and the already salty and fragrant cheese beef patty, Fisher has to admire, Stark is really the number one foodie in Marvel.
"Speaking of which, have you ever considered making a documentary called the Bite of America? I think it must be a big fire! Shoving a tender veal into his mouth, taking a sip of the royal salute, and wiping his mouth with a napkin, Fisher's style already had the appearance of a petty bourgeois.
"America on the tip of the tongue? Interesting, keep talking! Stark's eyes lit up, he liked this show, just like the Girl Magazine Highlights he sponsored before, those beautiful women finally climbed into his bed, then these delicacies will definitely enter his stomach.
"It's the kind of store visit program, the fifty states in the United States, you first divide a standard, such as which states are good at making beef, and which states are good at using mutton, and then start to introduce the food that best represents the local characteristics, record the process of food production, trace the materials needed for food, and even introduce the summary of those cattle and sheep, such as in order to make the meat more tender, the farm gives them red wine, massage, music, and vegetables, how much sunlight is needed, what kind of humidity, etc., etc., etc., That's all the show has to offer! ”
"Also, in addition to making documentaries, we can also produce a series of magazines, columns, and even competitions!" Stark would draw inferences now.
"Pepper, contact National Geographic immediately, and put this matter on my schedule as a priority!"
“???” Pepper looked like you were kidding me, but she also understood her boss's habit of patting her head to make decisions, so she still took out her tablet and recorded it.
After a topic was reached, the atmosphere at the table was opened, and Stark chatted with Fisher about his vision for the future.
"I've read the drawings of your mass accelerator, that thing needs at least four reactors, if it is to be built, the area will definitely be half the size of the Great Lake, and the personnel and supporting facilities needed can rebuild a metropolis!"
"Then build it, as long as the funds for the EXO exoskeleton armor are in place now, we can start construction! I'm going to finish it in five years! ”
"Fisher Adams, speaking of which, you and I have known each other for four or five years, and I would like to ask, what is your real purpose in making this thing? Strictly speaking, the mass accelerator can also be used as an orbital weapon, and I calculated that if it is loaded with a live weapon, the strike range of this thing can even cover Africa! ”
"Yes, not only that, but the Titan also plans to use this thing to hit sixty-four armed satellites, and if possible, even plan to build an orbital space station in the Earth's high orbit!" Fisher took his tablet and sent a blueprint to a 3D projector in the center of the restaurant.
"This?" Stark put down his knife and fork and walked over to the projector.
"Jarvis!"
"I'm here, sir!"
"Take apart the three-dimensional drawing of this thing!"
"Roger!"
The triangular orbital space station was instantly broken down into dozens of parts by Jarvis, and Stark looked at them one by one.
"Personnel living cabins, scientific research cabins, maintenance cabins, and weapons cabins?" Looking at the three huge cabins of the triangular space station, which were wrapped in heavy armor, Stark couldn't help but be stunned.
"That's right, this is the biggest thing that the Titan can get his hands on at the moment, the Mac cannon, according to the current technology of the Titan, this thing can accelerate a six-hundred-kilogram cannonball to a speed of 0.04c and shoot out!"
"Who are you guarding against? Alien? No one really believes in the existence of aliens these days, no, no! Stark said as he carefully observed the construction of the Mac gun.
"Why, there are really people who believe that there are no aliens these days? Wouldn't it, wouldn't it? "Fisher remembers that Daddy Stark studied the Rubik's Cube for so long, and he Stark didn't know anything about it?
"But how do you know that aliens didn't come to Earth to make friends with us? And for the war? What resources do they have on our planet? Humans, or seawater! ”
"When humans domesticated animals and turned them into pets, they didn't think about what resources pets had, maybe there were aliens who thought there were too many people on the earth and came to help us with family planning?"
"Family planning, what's that word?" Stark now wonders if Fisher is so radical because he was a soldier and has victim paranoia.
"Anything is possible, Mr. Stark, what if they do come?"
"I'll take out my own weapon to restrain them, I'm Tony Stark!"
"Yes, you're Tony Stark, but only on Earth, you're Tony Stark!" Fisher can remember what Rocket Raccoon said to Stark, maybe Stark is a rare genius in a hundred years in the human resources of the earth, but in the universe, those big empires, the Cree Empire, and the Nova Legion, Stark has a lot of people, after all, compared with them, the human background is still too shallow.
After listening to Fisher's words, Stark wanted to snort twice to show his disdain, but he was also a person who could listen to what Fisher said, and he still stopped thinking for a few seconds about what Fisher said.
"I think we should stop talking about it, this food is delicious, isn't it?" Seeing that the smell of gunpowder between the two was getting stronger and stronger, Pepper hurriedly jumped out to play the round.
"Of course, Ms. Pepper!"
After re-entering the table, the topic on the table was brought back by Pepper to the exchange of business, Fisher's giant god has taken over nearly seventy percent of the world's shipping business in recent years, and Stark Industries' products are often sent to other continents by the giant god's ships, so in this regard, Pepper and Fisher still have a common topic, and even over the years, Stark's charity activities, donated food and clothes are still passing through the waters of Somalia, After encountering pirates, it was also thanks to the patrol gunboats of the giant god in the local waters that they were able to break the siege.
"I heard that you have been buying all the vibranium on the market in the past few years, is this true?" As he ate, Stark suddenly remembered this.
"Why do you know this?" Fisher was a little surprised, you must know that in order not to attract too much attention, Fisher has run seventeen or eighteen leather bag companies, with agents ranging from Asians to Africans, but it seems that these methods are useless.
"No, your way of opening a leather bag company to find an agent is very clever, and everyone usually doesn't think of the giant god, but you still made a mistake!" Stark picked up his glass with a triumphant look.
"Vibranium needs special transport vehicles because of its special attributes, and these vehicles have a special appearance, as far as I know, there are about forty special trucks of this type in the current Titan, and the rest of the world combined is not more than half of yours!"
"Thanks for the reminder!" Fisher nodded, and when he got back, he told them to change the shape of the car.
In short, after this meal, Stark had less contempt for Fisher, who used to think that this guy was a relatively low-key Tothra oligarch, but now, Fisher has become a radical explorer of the future of mankind in Stark's eyes.
In fact, in addition to what we talked about before, Stark also wanted Fisher to propose his own plasma anti-gravity system, and proposed the development of anti-gravity cars, which is also a joint development project between the two companies, but because Stark's current technology is not mature enough, and Fisher's side has not yet eaten the things he brought back from COD13, so this project is estimated to remain on the surface for a long time in the future.
However, Fisher didn't think that the effort of this meal would convince Stark, and because of Stark's quirks, he couldn't brainwash Stark or anything, otherwise if Stark became a human supremacy, the picture would definitely be beautiful.
"Thank you for your help today, Mr. Fisher, and come back to me or Tony next time you come to New York!" In order to show that he valued Fisher, Pepper also sent Fisher to the parking lot after the meal, and the picture of the two shaking hands and saying goodbye was also filmed by tabloid reporters.
"Okay, besides, Pepper, Stark is actually a good match for you!" With that, Fisher got into the car and left, leaving Pepper to think about it.

"BOSS, WHERE ARE WE GOING NOW?"
"Go home first, and get the European side ready, we're going over next week!" Fisher leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.
"Understood!" With his instructions in mind, John continued, "Do you need me to transfer the Ghost Squad there?" ”
"No, let them continue to operate in Iraq, clean up the opposition over there, this is their first priority, inform Cormac, let the True Son send three squads to the branch over there, let them enter with makeup, don't get together, and change everything to the world! In addition, let Dr. Sanmuir Hayden find a way to send a scientific expedition to the North Pole, focusing on the sea areas under the Arctic ice cap, money is not a problem, as long as the sooner the better! ”
"Understood!" Although he doesn't know what happened to the boss of this McCarran group, John knows that this company has now been on Fisher's small book, after all, the last one to let Fisher arrange it this way was the local opposition forces in Iraq, but now they have gone to enjoy seventy-two raisins
