"Aren't you the smartest human in history? Can't even do this little thing? The Duke looked at the mustache in front of him with a slight disdain, disappointed in his heart.

"You know what!" Howard, who was despised by him, was suddenly a little annoyed, his dignified chief human black technology master, the existence of an IQ as high as two hundred and five plus one, was actually looked down upon by a guy who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, which really made people's hearts burn.

Unlike the trio standing next to them, looking at each other and not daring to speak, Howard. Stark was only here to help, so naturally he didn't have to look at the Duke's face.

What's more, the current market value of Stark Group is a little higher than that of the Wettin consortium, and Conrad is only the second richest person in the world so far!

There is no way, if the business reaches a certain level, it is not only their earning ability, but also the competition of contacts, influence, world pattern and other aspects.

Although the Weiting consortium has completely suppressed the Bell Company and controlled seventy percent of the world's electronic communications, due to the influence of the times, there is no way to become a gold-swallowing giant at the level of a giant.

If it takes another thirty or forty years, when the whole world enters the era of electronic networks, then the Weiting consortium can truly grow into the top chaebol in the world.

In the current economic system and the level of science and technology, it is better to play with energy and weapons than to play with communications.

Before the Internet was not popular, electronic communication really had no market prospects.

Otherwise, Conrad would not have spread the market to the world so simply, after all, this thing can be said to be the lifeblood of the country, if it weren't for the fact that everyone hadn't noticed, even with his identity and status, it would be impossible to seize so many markets.

Although when the Internet starts circulating twenty years from now, there will certainly be visionaries and governments who will demand the dismantling of the Weitin consortium's monopoly in the international market.

But the Duke is convinced that in twenty years his position will be unshakable, and no one will ever want to dismantle his monopoly empire.

After all, Conrad is not a good businessman in nature, so he doesn't care about the so-called international antitrust law!

"What do I know?" The Duke chuckled, stood up, and pointed to the drawing next to him.

"I gave you a prototype, I gave you the best research conditions in the world, who swore that you could build a machine in four months? What now? It's been almost a year! ”

Conrad looked around, Anton. Vanke lowered his head in embarrassment under his gaze and did not dare to make a sound.

"Humph!" Howard expressed his indignation with his nose slightly dissatisfied, then pointed to the shuttle behind him.

"Didn't we build a shuttle that performs much better than the one you gave us."

It's good that Howard doesn't say this, Conrad really wants to kill people when he says this.

"A shuttle that costs $300 million, that's what you call good performance? Do I keep it at home or take it to a museum for exhibition? ”

The Duke walked straight to the experimental table, knocked on the newly made shuttle and shouted.

Even if he is worth hundreds of millions now, he can't afford to squander it like this!

The total assets of the Weiting consortium are currently about 40 billion US dollars, and even if they go bankrupt, they can only build 100 shuttles.

And what can a hundred shuttles do?

Atlantis has millions of people, thousands of dragon knights and tens of thousands of undersea troops, and a mere hundred shuttles, it is estimated that it is not enough to even plug the gaps.

Originally, Conrad felt that he was sitting on tens of billions of assets, and he was already one of the top richest people in the world, but now it seems that such a small amount of money is really not enough to do!

If it is used to spend time and wine, it will naturally not be spent in a lifetime, but if you want to use it to do something big, it is really too poor.

No wonder they all say that war is a real gold-eating beast, and it is so difficult for you to just want to fight an Atlantis, if you want to fight the Soviet Union and the United States, God knows how difficult it is?

Although Atlantis is technologically advanced, it is too small after all, the entire country is only a capital, plus the population is sparse, the top combat power is scarce, and there is no diplomatic national policy.

It is precisely because Atlantis is the best soft persimmon in all respects that the Duke considered it as the first battle of his practice, but he didn't expect that before he was ready to do it, the whole plan was stillborn!

Without the cooperation of a large number of cannon fodder troops, would it be possible to destroy the country by yourself?

You must know that even the director of the Universe Family Planning Commission has brought thousands of younger brothers with him when he fights.

"Your requirements are too high, you can withstand the water pressure of 10,000 meters under the sea, and by the way, you have to be light and dexterous, and you can also carry super firepower, how can the price of that material be cheap!" Howard was furious at the vexatious guy in front of him, and he also stood up and yelled at Conrad.

"Do you know what the water pressure is at 10,000 meters under the sea? You think you can build a shuttle by just looking for some alloys? ”

Howard was not a good-natured lord in the first place, thinking that he was just a stunned young man in World War II, he dared to go against the Allied commander-in-chief, not to mention that he is now a high-ranking and powerful man who is famous all over the world.

At the beginning, he didn't speak just because he was a little depressed, obviously there was a prototype, and from the perspective of the construction concept, it should be the handiwork of humans, but he couldn't surpass the other party, which made Howard, who has always regarded himself as the smartest person in the world, sad in his heart.

If it's alien technology or mythological products, it's fine, after all, those things are beyond the scope of human science, but the scientific system of this shuttle is obviously developed according to human history and civilization, which is a very fatal blow to Howard.

There are even people who even say that there are institutions that surpass him in all aspects of marine mechanical science, which is really unacceptable to Howard.

Otherwise, with his character, how could he have been in the laboratory for a whole year?

Of course, Conrad also knew that Howard and Heidi had been in the middle of the year. Rama has developed some super-friendly colleague relationships in the lab, but he doesn't care!

Two old men and old ladies who are more than 100 years old together, what do you care about their sunset red romance?

Anyway, even if it is a headache, it is Winnie. What does Carter need to worry about about himself?

"What was the original prototype made of?" Although he couldn't understand the messy laws and formulas that Howard said, the Duke still got to the point.
