Chapter 41: Taking over the U.S. military
"Yesterday's encirclement and suppression of the Hell's Kitchen Black Brother gang was a successful police operation, and my men showed excellent fighting qualities, and they lived up to the badge on their chests. I would also like to extend my extra thanks to Umbrella for their great support, especially for providing a single combat armor that played a vital role in the operation. ”
Director George spoke eloquently at the press conference, not only telling the public about his exploits, but also advertising the Martian suit of the umbrella by the way.
Soon, the propaganda department on the umbrella side also began to follow up and released part of the news of the Martian suit, which immediately caused a sensation.
In the afternoon of the same day, the U.S. military sent a colonel to inquire about the situation, and this colonel was none other than Tony Stark, another user of the steel suit, Colonel James Roddy.
Wang Khan personally received him and then took him to the robot processing factory.
"I haven't thanked Colonel Roddy for his recent achievements, if you hadn't joined forces with Iron Man, I'm afraid that New York would have suffered great damage, and even our umbrella company would have been unlucky."
"Mr. Wang is polite, guarding the safety of the country and the people is what our soldiers should do, let's go and see the Martian suit, right?"
"Of course, but Colonel, you are now in a more advanced steel suit, and I'm afraid you are not interested in our relatively backward Martian suit."
Sharon Carter pushed a Martian suit over, and Roddy immediately opened it to look at it.
"Is this a lithium battery?"
"It's not a lithium battery, it's our latest research on aluminum electrolytic supercapacitors, which have far more power and charging speed than lithium batteries, and can make this big guy run at full power for an hour in 10 minutes."
"Is it only an hour?"
Wang Khan waved his hand.
"This is already very good, after all, the Ark reactor is only available to Tony Stark, and our umbrella is not so powerful in the field of new energy."
Roddy didn't say much, and then tried it on himself, and the result was quite satisfying.
As a professional soldier and a pilot of a war machine, Luo Di is almost the best and most experienced person in the military's individual mecha.
Therefore, he quickly discovered the advantages of the Martian suit, and even secretly compared it with the steel suit, and actually found that the Martian suit was stronger than the steel suit in terms of dodge system!
"What is this dodge system?"
"Oh, it's the spider sensing system, the kind of system on our umbrella's other product, the Smart Spider."
"Oh? That system can also be used on the suit? ”
Wang Khan nodded slightly, and now Luo Di's heart moved.
"How much does this suit cost?"
"Since there is no mass production yet, the cost cannot be disclosed, but in the future, when our technology matures, we should be able to control the price at about 5 million."
"5 million?!"
This time Luo Di was really moved, the military has been researching war machines a lot during this time, even if the Ark reactor is excluded, the total cost of other parts of the suit alone is more than 10 million US dollars.
The key point is that this thing can't be mass-produced at all, and there is no machine tool on the market to make this kind of high-precision mecha.
The ones in Tony's lab are the world's top instruments that he has personally improved, and there is nowhere to sell them if you want to.
Therefore, even the richest US Air Force can only form a team to be responsible for the repair and maintenance of war machines, and it is simply impossible to produce them in large quantities.
"Is it really only 5 million? When will you be able to put it into production? ”
"This will take time, and there is an important system in the development of the Martian suit, and there will be no results in the short term. But don't worry, colonel, two years at most, and if your military is interested, I promise to supply you. ”
"Then it's a matter of course, we're looking forward to the Martian suit, and we're very optimistic about your umbrella company."
The reason why Roddy is so eager, or the reason why the military people are like this, is completely because of Hammer's second goods.
Justin Hammer was put on the side by Anton Vanke before, and even the people with the military were embarrassed.
Although Hammer entered the bureau afterwards, Hammer Industries was also divided by capital, but the new individual mecha was also gone.
Anton Vanke was bent on revenge and didn't leave a way back for himself at all.
In addition, he is a polar bear person, although he himself may not be very patriotic, but he also hates Lao Mei, and his father was expelled from the United States back then, which indirectly caused the latter's tragic life.
So when Anton Vanke went to kill Tony Stark, he had already destroyed all the technology, and afterwards all the remote-controlled mechs were turned into fireworks and blown up, and the US military didn't even hold a single hair, and the loss was not smaller than Stark Industries.
Therefore, now they are eager to find a company to replace Hammer Industries, and for this reason, Osborne, Pioneer Technology and other companies are trying to find a way to drill into the camp.
However, the military was first released by Stark Industries, and then by Hammer Industries, and now they are very cautious and do not see anything really satisfactory, and do not place orders at all.
On the other hand, once they find a company that can replace Stark Industries, they will definitely not let it go.
As a result, the Martian suit successfully attracted the attention of the US military, and Wang Khan also asked people to take the experimental machine to the military's own experimental site to show it, and now more military high-level officials were interested, and even intended to inject funds in advance, and sent military experts to help develop.
In this regard, Wang Khan did not refuse, and handed over all matters such as contact with military experts to Shalang Carter.
Capturing the flash of worry in Carter's eyes, Wang Khan secretly sneered.
"After the red, the backdoor left in the system won't be discovered, right?"
"Guardians, please rest assured, unless the other party can develop a stronger artificial intelligence, and their host is also made of vibranium, otherwise, they will not be able to break through the firewall I have set at all."
Wang Khan was very satisfied.
"Appropriately speed up the research and development progress of Mars suits, half a year later, release a generation of suits to them, let them taste a little sweetness, and wait until the U.S. military installs our suits on a large scale, the army of the world's largest power will become our private soldiers, you said that when the time comes, control them to bulldoze the White House and the Pentagon, will it be interesting?"
"Guardian, I can't figure out if it's funny, but if you do, you'll definitely become a global enemy."
"Haha, a global public enemy? Sounds cool, doesn't it? Rest assured, I won't act rashly until I'm strong enough to crush the world. But once I decide to make a move, it's time for the landscape of the planet to change dramatically. ”
"Okay, let's not talk about this, have you collected all the raw materials for Thor Serum?"
"It's still close, but I've found it, and it will arrive in a week."
Wang Khan rubbed his hands.
"It's so exciting, I've been waiting for this day for a long time, and it just so happens that Tai Chi has also made a small achievement recently, the power of Thor + Tai Chi, I don't know how high the combat power can be."
