Chapter 041: Obadiah was depressed

In Sector 16, Obadiah Stein arranged for a group of top engineers within Stark Industries to build a large, state-of-the-art laboratory for him to build an Iron Overlord armor based on the design drawings of the steel armor.

Tony, who doesn't know the truth, still doesn't know that the culprit behind the attack in Afghanistan is actually the elder he has always respected, his father's friend Obadia Stan.

Originally, in the Afghan attack, the bald leader was tasked with killing the target, but when he found out that the alleged target was the famous arms dealer Tony Stark, he thought about using Tony Stark's weapon-making knowledge to build a powerful Jericho missile for his terrorist group. Naturally, the original assassination incident evolved into a kidnapping incident.

When Obadiah Stan learns of Tony's return to New York, he is happy on the surface, but he is actually very angry inside.

He paid hundreds of millions of dollars to hire local Afghan indigenous warlords to intercept Tony and all the American soldiers in charge of escorting Tony in the middle of the way, but three months later, Tony returned to the United States unharmed! This not only means that he has wasted hundreds of millions of dollars in commissions, but also means that he has been rejoicing like a fool for three months.

So, one night a few days later, Obadiah Stan personally led a small army of mercenaries and wiped out the entire native warlord of the bald chieftains.

Not only was Obadiah's trip to Afghanistan relieved, but he was not disappointed that he had at least snatched the original blueprints of the steel armor in the hands of the stupid bald chieftain.

Once Obadiah got the blueprints, he instructed some of Stark Industrial's best engineers to use the original blueprints as a basis for developing even wilder Iron Overlord armor!

It's a pity that the research and development process of the Iron Overlord has encountered one of the biggest bottlenecks - how to condense the giant Ark reactor with a diameter of several meters into a small Ark reactor with a diameter of a few centimeters?

This is indeed a core issue that cannot be ignored, and can even be said to be the most critical. After all, you can't put a battery bigger than armor inside the armor, right?

The Tihlon R&D project has been going on for a full month, but the engineers have not been able to give Obadiah a satisfactory answer.

Obadiah has invested a lot of money and resources in his own name, but he has not been able to get the return he wants, while Tony, on the other hand, is constantly updating and improving the steel armor, which really makes Obadiah's heart feel extremely tormented.

A month later, especially on the day Tony's personal assistant Pepper Potts copied his criminal data from his office computer, Obadiah couldn't sit still anymore.

Holding back the pent-up anger in his heart, he came to the hall of the sixteenth arrondissement of Stark Industrial Park, and was angry when he saw the incompetent engineers in white coats who were pretending to be busy but still couldn't develop a working Iron Overlord armor.

And the person in charge of the Iron Overlord project, when he saw the bearded boss coming, his heart suddenly became empty, as if he lacked confidence. After all, this project has smashed billions of dollars in just one month, but their group of project members, who claim to be top engineers, have not been able to complete the project for a long time. Even with the efforts of all the team members, the project may not be successful in the next three to five years.

Billions of dollars of money are definitely hemorrhagic for Obadiah, whose assets add up to only tens of billions of dollars. What's more, if you keep doing it, I don't know how much money will be invested in this project next!

Therefore, Obadiah was disappointed and depressed when he saw the person in charge of the project he had had high hopes for.

"Dear Mr. Stan, we've all looked into it. What you're asking us to do, it looks like something is wrong. The project leader, who is in his forties, explained to Obadiah the current bottlenecks of the R&D project, and his expression looked like a withered wild chrysanthemum.

"Oh, what's the problem?" Obadiah crossed his hands on his hips and looked directly into the eyes of the project leader, deliberately putting on a deaf look.

In fact, Obadiah was a brilliant scientist before he became the majority shareholder of Stark Industries, but after becoming a high-ranking executive, he did not bother to engage in pure scientific research, and instead focused on how to make a lot of dollars and how to enjoy the money.

However, despite his little hands-on research in recent years, he is still an experienced and experienced former scientist who is not so easy to fool.

The project leader didn't dare to look Obadiah in the eye, he dodged the boss's expectant and disappointed eyes: "Well, in fact, the technology you want to supply energy to the armor has not yet appeared in the world, so ......"

Hearing the project leader's lame explanation, Obadiah interrupted what he was about to say, put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Wait, it hasn't happened yet?" William, you see, this technology is here! I'm throwing billions of dollars into it, and I'm just asking you to make it a little smaller. ā€

"Mr. Stan, that's a problem I'm trying to solve, but we're doing our best. Truth be told, it's impossible to do ......"

Hearing this, Obadiah finally broke out, and he angrily pointed at the chest of the project leader, shouting angrily, "Tony Stark!! He was able to do it in a broken cave. Moreover, it is still a pile of broken copper and scrap provided by the natives! ā€

"I'm sorry...... I'm not Tony Stark. The project leader replied dejectedly, with a hint of hatred for his own ability.

The technology to make a small Ark reactor has indeed not yet appeared in this world. To be exact, with the exception of Tony Stark, a genius among geniuses, no one in the world has been able to develop a small Ark reactor.

In fact, the team of scientists assembled by Obadiah is difficult to build even a large Ark reactor. Because even this large and bulky Ark reactor was carefully developed by Howard Stark, the father of Tony Stark, one of the world's top geniuses in the last century. For the Stark Group, arms and weapons are the main source of profit for the group, so this technology has not been unannounced for so many years.

Truth be told, even if they invested more money in their team, it would take them at least a few years to build a barely qualified small Ark reactor.

Obadiah can't afford to wait a few years, and it is a given fact that he can't count on this group of incompetent engineers......
