The new element discovered by Howard Stark comes from the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, a space gem that is one of the six primordial stones.

This element is very peculiar, obviously like palladium, it has good ductility and plasticity, and can create the environment and ultra-high temperature required for nuclear fusion through magnetic confinement, but it is not a metal element, it is safe and harmless to the human body, and it is the most suitable to replace palladium.

Tony Stark had never touched the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, so he was very curious about this element, both about its performance and potential applications, and about how it would happen.

How did his dad discover this element out of thin air?

So, after replacing the palladium in the reactor with new elements, he spent his days in the lab like a child who had just been given a new toy.

Until one day, a blonde beauty named Marshall brought him a subpoena asking him to attend a hearing by the Senate Armed Services Committee at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.

The name of the hearing is the Warframe Defense Plan Hearing.

"Sure enough!"

"What?" Pepperpotts wondered.

"Nothing, I mean the name, 'Warframe Defense Plan', everyone in the whole world knows that I am the only one who has a Warframe......"

Speaking of this, Tony Stark suddenly remembered Ivan Vanko, so he changed his words: "People all over the world know that I have a battle armor, 'battle armor defense', at first glance, it is defending against me, these people, don't look at them on the top, but one is more greedy than the other, what defense plan, isn't it just to take advantage of it!" ”

"Tony ......"

Pepperpots was a little worried, because there were many people who looked at the Iron Armor, and the military, the CIA, fellow arms dealers, foreign spies, and even S.H.I.E.L.D. coveted this new weapon.

This hearing is just the beginning, and even if he dodges this time, it will be difficult to avoid the follow-up troubles.

The best thing to do is to sell weapons to the military as before, as long as the military stands aside, everyone else can easily settle down.

However, Stark did not agree to sell it, preferring to have the armor displayed at home as an ornament rather than sell it to someone else at a high price.

"It's okay, the armor is mine, I don't agree, no one can snatch it." Tony Stark swore to comfort her.

Pepperpots: Does ...... care about Warframe? She cares about you somehow faint!

……

The next day, the hearing took place as scheduled.

Tony Stark sat in the audience, interacting with Pepperpotts on his own, and a middle-aged white man knocked on the table on stage: "Can you start?" ”

Stark glanced at him and continued to wink at Potts.

The guy on the stage was confused, so he had to get straight to the point: "Do you have a special weapon?" ”

"No, I didn't," Tony Stark denied.

"Didn't you?"

"That's up to you how you define the Warframe."

"Iron Man Armor."

"It's not an appropriate description."

"How do you describe that appropriately?"

"Describe it matter-of-factly. For example, high-tech prosthetics, or movie props, props used by Iron Man. ”

"It's a weapon, Mr. Stark, we all know it's a weapon, and it's my duty to give the Iron Man armor to the people of Lighthouse."

Tony Stark scoffed: "Give it to the people? The...... Unknown sir, I understand your obsession with Iron Man movies, and you can't wait to collect a prop, even under the banner of the people, but props are props, and instead of staring at my props, it is better to go to the comic con, there are so many figurines. ”

There was a burst of laughter from the audience, and the questioner's face was a little unbearable, and he knocked on the table and said: "I don't know anything about weapons, but there are weapons experts present today, and then please summon Justin Hammer, the current general arms contractor of the Department of Defense." ”

"Justin Hammer? I'm curious, when will real weapons specialists appear? Stark looked dismissive.

Hammer, who wore a pair of glasses and looked polite, laughed dryly, "Haha, I'm certainly not an expert, I'm different from you, Tony." ”

As he spoke, he simply stepped forward and said loudly to the audience: "Maybe I'm not an expert, but do you know who is?" Your father, Howard Stark, the predecessor of all of us, is the father of the military industry.

Everyone can see that he is not a guardian of peace, he is a lion. The reason for the hearing is very clear, that is, Tony Stark made a secret weapon, but said that it was only used for defense, and he made him tremble and believe his words.

To be honest, I wish that was comforting to me, and I wish I had left home without locking the door. But this is not our next door, our world is full of death threats, and there are always some things that Mr. Stark could not foresee. Thanks, God bless Iron Man, God bless the Lighthouse Nation. ”

Justin Hammer stepped back, and the officials on the stage thanked him before asking James Rhodes to play.

Tony Stark knew exactly what was going to happen next.

James Rhodes made a long report, and although the conclusions were unfavorable to him, there should have been quite a few biased words in the investigation, but the official deliberately ignored these and insisted that Rhodes only read out the conclusions.

This is blatantly directed at him.

So before Rhodes appeared, he preemptively said: "In order to ensure the fairness of the hearing, I hope that Rhodes's statement can be complete, not just one conclusion, because the same argument may have different conclusions." For example, if Mr. Hammer wears glasses, some people will conclude that he is nearsighted, and others will think that he is trying to pretend to be Sven. ”

Justin Hammer was so angry that he drank water, and the media in the audience couldn't stop laughing.

"Silence! Quiet! ”

The officials on the stage banged on the table.

After James Rhodes came in, as expected, like the plot of the movie, although he was very reluctant, he still read out the conclusion directly under the order of the official:

"Given that he does not serve in any government agency, Iron Man is a potential threat not only to national security, but also to national interests."

Rhodes wanted to add some of his own points, but was forcefully interrupted by the other party.

The official also hypocritically said, "If you allow me, I would like to continue to show you pictures related to your report." ”

Then, despite Rhodes's objections, some images taken by satellites were shown on the big screen next to him, showing other countries trying to imitate steel armors.

"Sure enough, it's still going to be like this."

Tony Stark shook his head, pulled out a transparent PDA like in a movie, and replaced all those satellite images with clearer video by hacking into the on-site network.

In the video, those imitations can't even achieve the most basic balance, and they fall to the ground after less than two steps.

Hammer Industries, in particular, behaved particularly poorly, and it was simply a disaster scene.

Justin Hammer couldn't turn off the video for a while, and finally had to rudely rip the power cord off.

Tony Stark took the opportunity to make amends: "If most countries are five to ten years behind in industry, Hammer is twenty years behind. ”
