"The communications industry? AT&T is already doing it, and they have the core technology of Bell Labs, and even if Stark Industries gets in, they won't necessarily be able to compete. ”

Hearing Luke's proposal, Howard shook his head repeatedly.

Entering the communications industry as an operator, where is the order of the Ministry of National Defense.

Moreover, the upfront investment is huge.

Laying cables and building communication systems are all necessary tasks that take a lot of time and money.

Most importantly, Stark Industries also has to face the terrifying enemy of Bell Labs.

Even with Howard's critical eye, he has to admit that it was the greatest laboratory in the world.

It may not be as good as the Manhattan Project, where geniuses and bigwigs from all over the world gathered.

But it can also be called a wealth of talents, which should not be underestimated.

Unlike his son, Howard occasionally emerges with a naïve and romantic idealism.

For example, giving up the main business of the enterprise, closing the weapons manufacturing plant, putting on steel armor and becoming a superhero, etc.

As a businessman, Howard is rational.

He was not optimistic about Luke's proposal, believing that the communications industry was not a good choice to expand his territory.

"Don't rush to answer yet, read my plan and then talk about it."

Since he was going to work with Howard, Luke definitely wouldn't come empty-handed.

With a quick thinking super brain, coupled with his knowledge of related technologies in his previous life, it took him a few days to get a proposal.

Frankly speaking, once Superman uses his brain, he can indeed surpass more than 90% of geniuses.

It's like opening the acceleration hook and crazy about the technology tree.

For the same twenty-four hours, Luke seemed to be +1 every second.

It's obviously a difficult problem to solve, but you can get the answer after a few glances.

"Bell Labs is indeed the greatest laboratory on the planet, but that doesn't mean AT&T has always had a monopoly on the communications industry."

While Howard was flipping through the proposal, Luke elaborated on his thoughts, "You may not have noticed that due to the development of the automobile industry, more and more people own cars, mobile phones are in high demand, and communication is no longer confined to the home. If I follow my plan, Stark Industries will definitely be able to open a new era of mobile communications, even if AT&T, with Bell Labs as the backing, may not be an opponent! ”

Luke, of course, knew that AT&T had a trump card in its hands, Bell Labs.

There have been 11 Nobel Prize winners in physics, four Turing Award winners, and 16 top science prize winners in the United States.

Since its establishment, more than 30,000 patents have been obtained, an average of one per day.

Many of the key technologies of computers, televisions, mobile phones, cameras, and the Internet came from Bell Labs.

It's no exaggeration to say that it changed the world.

In the original timeline, AT&T relied on Bell Labs to dominate the communications industry for more than 100 years, and has always been the leader, unsurpassed.

If it weren't for the later antitrust law, which led to the dismantling of this behemoth, the communications empire built by Bell Labs would not have collapsed.

What Luke wants to do is to take the lead in bringing the era of mobile communications, but with the help of Stark Industries' energy calmly layout.

From communication services, to the Internet and mobile television, pervasive into every home.

As long as this cake is made, it will not be worse than Stark Industries' own business.

"You did it all alone?"

Howard listened as he flipped through the plan.

The expression on his face changed from carelessness at the beginning, to more and more solemn later.

Halfway through it, the most successful arms tycoon in the United States couldn't help but breathe heavily, and the speed of turning the pages became faster and faster.

"Incredible! Luke, you know what, because of your presence, for the first time, I felt that God was unfair! ”

Half an hour later, Howard said in a complicated tone.

There was surprise, excitement, and a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

"I've never been jealous of your superphysique – except when you're a little overwhelmed by too many pretty girls. I've always been proud of my genius brain, but - you have refreshed my perception today. ”

"It's not that you've discovered something new or made some kind of amazing breakthrough. Rather, your vision is completely beyond this era! ”

"This plan is like a key, directly showing me the future in 50 years!"

Luke shrugged his shoulders, taking in Howard's unsteady excitement.

He said that this is just the basic operation of the traverser, and if you want to defeat the world-famous Bell Labs, of course, you have to throw out the technology accumulation that is ahead of the times.

Moreover, can the traverser's business be considered plagiarism?

This is to give full play to the advantages and lead the scientific and technological innovation in advance.

Luke comforted himself.

"It's not scientific! I don't mean to be offended, but Luke, you didn't even go to college, how did you come up with this!? ”

Howard clutched the thick plan and paced it back and forth to calm his mind.

In this thick pile of paper, it is simply a blueprint for the future of the communication era!

From the internal integrated chips, precision parts, to the core technology of analog signals and frequency division multiple access, and even encrypted channels, automatic continuation, etc.

Including the establishment of urban communication networks, the development of cellular mobile communication networks in the later stage, and the miniaturization of mobile phones......

Fifty or sixty pages were filled.

The dense and large expositions have almost planned the development route for the next 20 or 50 years.

That's why Howard was shocked!

Luke is not just the invention of a certain technology, but the way forward for the entire industry.

"You're sitting in a time machine, coming back from the future?"

Howard took a deep breath and stared at Luke, who was sitting on the sofa lightly, as if to find the real answer from the other party.

"That's right. In order to stop the evil plan of the future world destined to be ruled by artificial intelligence, I led the rebels to build a time machine and use it to travel back to the time of World War II! This is my biggest secret, and I should never tell anyone else because it could be dangerous. ”

Luke is talking serious nonsense, and it's really funny to see Howard's half-believing look.

"Forget it, it doesn't make sense that there is only one genius in this world. Well, Luke, welcome to the Genius Club, I admit you have that qualification. ”

After a while, Howard shook his head and sighed, as if he was a little melancholy.

Now even the proudest genius brain has lost the capital to show off in front of Luke, which is really depressing.

"How do you want to work together?"

Howard, who calmed down, began to test Luke's bottom line.

He was not interested in the communications industry, and he did not think that Stark Industries would be able to beat Bell Labs and seize the market share of AT&T.

But now the situation is different.

With this plan, not to mention winning the market, Howard is even confident of building a communications empire.

"I will take 60 percent and invest in technology, Stark Industries will invest funds, and I can take the remaining 30 percent, and give the rest away - the establishment of mobile communication networks must have the support of the government."

Luke didn't go around in circles and said it bluntly.

He is interested in Stark Industries' deep pockets and the deep foundations behind it.

If the communications industry wants to develop, it must have the support of the government.

Although Luke has a place in the military, he is weak in political circles.

As long as Stark Industries is pulled into the chariot, it will not fall into many difficulties in the later stage.

"Reasonable. Your proposal, your blueprints and technology, Stark Industries is equivalent to picking up a bargain for nothing. ”

Howard nodded, agreeing to the superficial allocation.

More detailed regulations will definitely be discussed later.

"Well, it's a pleasure to work with."

Luke smiled and held out his hand, and Howard held it tightly.

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they both saw the arrival of a new era.
