139. Encounters at the Exposition

Flushing, New York.

Crowds poured into the Science and Technology Museum, where tonight's World's Fair belongs to Stark Industries, which will be officially opened. Scientific and technological achievements from different countries can have a free display area after passing the review of the organizers.

Sean entered the center of the science and technology museum from the VIP passage unimpeded, the news reporters of the major TV stations took their seats early, and Pepper Pepper Pepper was directing the various facilities in the background, for this grand solo show, Tony prepared four different livery Mark series armor, and he himself will wear the latest steel armor on the stage to complete the debut.

"Where's Tony?" Seeing Pepper coming over, Sean couldn't help but ask.

The playboy who had come to the end of his life received a week of brief treatment in Ambrera, lithium dioxide drugs could temporarily suppress the symptoms of palladium poisoning, and Dr. Helen Zhao's regeneration cradle was enough to give Tony a small operation to remove the remaining shrapnel from his body, and he could walk around directly without a long period of recuperation.

Next, it's up to Tony Stark's own genius. In the original timeline, it was Nick Fury who handed him Howard Stark's relics, and then Tony found clues to the new element from his father's pre-death video, and then replaced the palladium elemental energy plate to complete the new rebirth of Iron Man.

In this regard, Sean only gave a hint, if Tony is really a unique peerless genius as the newspaper said, then he will naturally find clues and find the precious treasure left by his father.

"He's been in the lab since he came back from Ambrera, and in his heart it's the steel armor that counts." Pepper grumbled.

Miss Secretary always felt that Tony was hiding something, and she had been running to Ambrera lately, and she looked at Sean expectantly, wanting to learn the truth from the other party's mouth.

"Tony often tells me that Pepper is his best helper, more important than Jarvis."

Shaun avoided Pepper's probing gaze, and now that the secretary was promoted to CEO of Stark Industries, her shrewd and capable approach to dispel discontent with Tony within the boardroom, while also dispelling some of the most incisive gossip.

He couldn't help but feel lucky for Tony, who had Obadé shelter the playboy from the wind and rain, so that Stark could indulge in sex and enjoy life; Later, Pepper Pepper Pepper helped manage the company, otherwise no matter how talented a person is, he will be busy with tedious chores all day long, and sooner or later he will be burned out and lose his original patience and passion.

"Men are different from women, a proud person like Tony will not let the person he cares about worry, he can give you everything he has, but he will not confide in you the pain in his heart."

Sean smiled faintly, and Tony, dressed in formal clothes in the background, walked here, he winked at Pepper, and smiled: "If you're really curious, why don't you go and ask yourself." ”

After a few pleasantries, he was dragged away by Tony casually with an excuse, and the two walked to the corner of the backstage, whispered in a low voice: "What did you say to Pepper?" ”

Faced with Stark's questioning, Sean shrugged his shoulders and said, "Miss Potts is just worried about your physical condition. ”

"So you told her everything?"

"Of course not, I promised you to keep it a secret, but after a while, she should have guessed it, after all, you are choosing a successor, and your behavior is so abnormal, as if arranging the aftermath, everyone will be suspicious."

Sean looked at Tony's nervous look and couldn't help but feel funny in his heart, and continued: "She's going to be exposed to that terrible reality soon, so you'll have to speed up and solve your own problems. ”

Different from the previous gloomy expression, Tony, who was rejuvenated, smiled proudly: "The old man of my family still taught me a lesson after twenty years. It won't be long before Iron Man will be resurrected! ”

Hearing these confident words, Sean probably guessed that Tony had discovered a huge treasure left to him by his father, which was advanced technology beyond a century, and it was limited to materials and resources at that time and could not be successfully completed, so Howard had to hand over the key to open it all to his son, but unfortunately this secret had not yet been told, and the business tycoon who single-handedly built the military industrial empire died due to an accident.

"Good luck then." Sean patted the other man on the shoulder, ready to leave.

"I heard that you are contacting procurement officers in the Ministry of Defense in an attempt to enter the military industry?" Tony hesitated for a moment, then stopped the young man who turned around. "I sold the Stark Industries' weapons manufacturing plant to Hammer Industries, and although Justin Hammer is an incompetent scrap, he has enough background and deep pockets, and Ambrera is too immature in comparison."

As a former military giant, Tony certainly knows the inside story of military procurement, as well as some unspoken rules in the industry.

Generally speaking, if you want to become a national defense contractor, you must first obtain the procurement qualification of the Ministry of Defense, and the military industrial complex will occupy different positions on the procurement list according to its own strength and importance. The higher the ranking, the more procurement discounts and hidden subsidies will be obtained, for example, the former Stark Industries was ranked in Class A, standing at the top of the industry, accounting for most of the military's procurement share.

And companies like Hammer Industries and Cross Technologies, which have insufficient qualifications or accumulation, can only retreat to Class B and pick up some scraps behind Stark Industries, and as for Osborne Industries, which once failed miserably, it will be postponed, which is enough to prove how fierce the competition in this market is.

Now Stark Industries has withdrawn from the competition, leaving a huge share of purchases and orders, Hammer Industries is eager to buy the weapons manufacturing plant, nothing more than to fill the vacancy in this area, and the rest of the military industrial enterprises are also gearing up and can't wait to get a piece of the pie, at this time Ambrera wants to enter the field of military procurement, even with the recommendation of General Ross, at most barely squeezed into the procurement list, and there is no rich oil and water at all.

"Remember what I told you before, Ambrera has found a genius-level weapon designer." Sean looked calm, he pointed to Tony's chest, "His achievements will not be lower than yours." ”

Iron Man smiled, his proud temperament was undoubtedly revealed, and he said firmly: "The Ark reactor is an advanced technology, and no one can copy it in twenty years!" ”

He didn't believe that anyone could make an invention comparable to the gadget on his chest, and if the technology was so easy to copy, the military would not have bothered to get his hands on it.

Sean smiled and didn't answer, he was looking forward to the surprise that Ivan Vanke was about to bring. Ambrera has gone all the way, and it is not by stepping on the corpses of his predecessors that he can achieve today's achievements.

Walking around the huge venue, it was not yet the time for the start of the expo, and the audience outside did not pour in, so it was not crowded. Young people walk around and enjoy this grand solo show as spectators, which attracts many eyes.

Some depressed scientists rushed to the venue early with their scientific research results, hoping to find discerning investors here. However, Sean glanced at it a few times, and most of them were conceptual designs, with no prospects for application development.

The people who can be called geniuses in this world are similar to rare animals, and not every time there are dusty pearls waiting for others to discover.

Sean casually looked around, and out of the corner of his eyes, he saw a tall figure wearing a peaked cap, standing in a specially set up nostalgic exhibition area, where a black-and-white video of the 20th "Tomorrowland" Expo organized by Howard Stark in 1942 was played, when 64 countries participated, and many new products were exhibited, such as tape recorders, tapes, nylons, etc., which sparked a boom in technology.

The handsome man looked at the old video showing Howard Stark as he showed a hovering car, claiming that it was a unique anti-gravity technology, and before the voice could land, a burst of bright electric sparks erupted from the body and slammed into the stage.

Seeing this scene, the man couldn't help laughing, with a faint look of remembrance in his eyes, he obviously looked very young, but there was a twilight of vicissitudes all over his body.
