Chapter 13: Stark's Mandate
After two days of playing with his old father at the festival, Fisher returned to Washington, D.C., where he had a large company and tens of thousands of employees to support.
Thanks to Titan's outstanding performance in the search operations in Afghanistan, Titans has also obtained more contracts, logistics and transportation routes for the U.S. military, security protection for officials, and even several state governments in the United States have chosen to hire Titans to protect key targets in their territory, such as nuclear power plants, dams and other locations.
But what Fisher didn't expect was that this day the giant god came to an unexpected person.
"Mr. Stark?" Seeing the sassy guy dangling in his boss's chair, Fisher asked uncertainly.
"Long time no see, Mr. Adams, you giant gods have really hurt me this time!" Stark held out his right hand to Fisher.
"Yes, but I heard that it was our armored car that saved your life, otherwise you would have been blown up and your bones would have been gone!" Fisher shook hands with the other and sat down on the table, looking at Stark condescendingly.
"So, why are you here to be a giant god? Will you convince me to shut down the Titan weapon research? ”
"Will you turn it off then?"
"No, why should I close it? In Boston, in Iraq, there are 30,000 employees in the weapons factories of the Titans, and if I close the weapons factories, then what will these 30,000 families eat and drink? ”
"............" Stark suddenly didn't know how to answer.
Although Stark himself in the movie looks handsome to close the weapon research and development with a fluttering sentence, but the price is painful, Stark Industries has almost 20,000 employees in the weapons research and development department, and these 20,000 people can originally get high salaries, but after Stark closes the weapons research and development department, these employees can only find another way to make a living, but even if they find a new job, the salary is not comparable to when they were in Stark Industries, and many employees are dragged with their families, Originally, their salary would even allow the family to travel from time to time, but now, it has become a problem for them to even have enough to eat, so these employees hold signs to protest and march under the Stark Building every day, and many employees even choose to sue Stark.
"In that case, why did you buy a stake in Stark Industries?"
"Because you're Tony Stark, I don't think you would have decided to close the weapons research department if you didn't have a backhand, would you?" Fisher's face was light.
"Yes, that's right, but I'm not here to say that, I'm hoping for a conservation commission!" Stark pulled an envelope out of his pocket and handed it to Fisher.
"Protection entrustment? Do you protect your Stark Industries assets? Fisher opened the envelope, only to find a report on the activities of the Ten Rings in the Middle East, with Rhodes' signature at the bottom.
"There are tens of thousands of civilians in this area, and the Ten Commandments Gang is to obtain manpower and supplies from them, and the Ten Commandments Gang has taken root here for many years, and if you want to eliminate them, you must cut off their foundation!" Tony Stark looked serious.
"I thought you wanted us to kill the Ten Rings Gang!"
"I'll figure it out for them, and I'll leave those civilians to you! I'll ask Pepper to come over and sign the contract in two days, and the funds will be sent to you in batches! ”
"Yes, by the way, Mr. Stark, I want to ask what you think of the Mass Accelerator!"
"Mass Accelerator?" Stark turned his head and looked at Fisher suspiciously, "With the current technology, I think it's quite difficult, the launch orbit, and the energy are not yet mature!" ”
"Isn't Stark, the great inventor?" Fisher remembered that there was an Ark reactor under the Stark Tower.
"At least not yet!" Stark shook his head, and when the work at hand was done, he and Fisher could slowly work on the Mass Accelerator.
In fact, Fisher had the idea of building a mass accelerator very early, in his plan, the giant god should complete the construction of the space orbit space station in three to five years, and complete the construction of the deep space base within ten years, for which Fisher also poached NASA experts, and at the same time, the research and development department of the giant god is also developing the outer space giant, but because of financial and technological constraints, the progress of the deep space program of the giant god is very slow.
This is why Fisher is looking for Tony Stark, the amount of electricity that a big guy like a mass accelerator needs to consume is unimaginable, an acceleration orbit of more than ten kilometers can throw dozens of tons of materials into outer space, and even this thing can also make a cameo appearance as a weapon, a cannon with a range of more than 100,000 kilometers, are you afraid.
"I don't know what the next world will be?" Thinking of the various bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods that will appear in the future, Fisher can't help but have a little headache, although he has been trying his best to improve his technology tree, just to have absolute power in the coming waves, but because his current spiritual power is too weak, it will take some time for the star torch to be activated again.
As for Stark's commission, Fisher can only say that he still thinks about the problem too simply, the chaotic struggle in the Middle East is not something that he can calm down by exterminating a Ten Ring Gang, the Ten Ring Gang is gone, there will be the Nine Ring Gang, the Eleventh Ring Gang, as long as he does not solve the big money behind these armed gangs, then sooner or later trouble will find his own.
However, Stark's entrustment contract still has to be done, because of the experience of Iraq, the giant god quickly established a huge refugee settlement camp outside the scope of the Ten Rings Gang's activities, modular container dormitories come with various pipes, only need to connect these container houses, and then add different internal facilities, you can turn them into houses with different uses, kitchens, restaurants, bathrooms, and infirmaries. And this camp, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people, was built from scratch in less than a week.
And Fisher also underestimated what the Ten Rings Gang did in this area, when the camp was just set up, there were already a large number of overwhelmed local civilians who dragged their families to seek refuge outside the camp, among these people were gray-haired old men, and there were still babies in swaddling clothes, but only a few young adults could be seen, and when the doctors then conducted a physical examination of these civilians, they found that many people suffered from a variety of chronic diseases, and they were enslaved by the Ten Rings Gang to do all kinds of heavy work for the Ten Rings Gang, But there is only a small ration every day. It is a common occurrence in their lives that young people are arrested, women and children are molested, and elderly people are shot.
Commander Cormac, the true son of the giant god in charge of everything in this camp, stood on a high platform and looked at the long queue below, and couldn't help but have a headache.
His real son has less than 600 fighters, and at present, there are nearly 8,000 refugees from the refugee nationality.
What's more, the Ten Rings Gang won't do anything to watch the giant gods take away the slaves in their hands, and the noble warriors of the gods still expect these untouchables to feed, don't they eat their food and sleep with their wives and daughters, these guys who don't know what to do will run away, and collude with the white skins outside the mountain, then we should punish them instead of God!
The Ten Rings still know the flow of people in their area, but because Stark took out their arsenal when he left, they lacked heavy weapons to use, so they had to lie dormant and wait for Obadiah to give them new weapons.
And Obadiah also lived up to expectations, and when Stark closed the weapons research and development department, he sent a large number of munitions that had gone off the assembly line to the hands of the Ten Rings Gang, including the Jericho missiles that the Ten Rings boss never forgot.

"Woo woo woo~"
The shrill sound of air raid sirens exploded over the silent camp, followed by the cries of children and the rude shouts of soldiers mingling with the sound of far, far away in the dark night sky.
"What's the situation?" Cormac strode open the door of the radar car.
"Sir, four missiles are approaching, and the landing point is here!" The radar soldier wearing headphones said as he stared at the flickering screen.
"Can you intercept it?"
"The regional air defense system just fired eight anti-aircraft missiles, but it didn't work, Jericho's terminal orbit change easily threw us off!"
"Then hand over control to the Deth air defense system, once Jericho splits, the whole camp will be finished!"
"It's been handed over!" The radar soldier pointed to the four green dots that suddenly lit up on the screen.
The trucks parked in the four corners of the camp had quietly started up at some point, and a huge lens-like mechanical structure in the body slowly rose, and the huge mirror surface turned at an angle, aiming at the rapidly approaching missiles in the sky.
"The system has fired! Confirmed hit, the missile has been intercepted! ”
There were no bells and whistles, and the invisible laser fired by the mirror burned out the guidance system and gyroscope in the front section of the missile in a matter of seconds, and the Jericho missile, which became blind and unbalanced, immediately began to Brownian motion, began to fly blindly a few times, and finally plunged headlong into the sand.
"Have you confirmed the launch location?"
"It has been confirmed, the Predator drone has set off and is approaching the target area!"
"Target found!"
At this time, the armed men of the Ten Rings were still standing on the hill and staring into the distance, ready to wait for the flames to rise and let out a cry of victory, but they waited for a long time and did not make the slightest movement, which made them a little puzzled.
"Boss, are we not doing something right?" One of the militants took out a flashlight and carefully looked at the missile operation guide in his hand, because he was worried that these guys would not understand, so Obadiah was very thoughtful to prepare a version of the local dialect for them.
"No way, I followed the steps above!" Shijie helped the boss grab the booklet and look through it, and the booklet, which was more than ten pages in total, was quickly finished by him.
"It doesn't make sense, is that old guy selling us fakes?" The boss of the Ten Rings Gang raised his head in confusion, but found that there seemed to be a few sparks in the sky that were rushing towards him.
