130, Doctor Octopus
Today is undoubtedly a major day that shakes New York, and Stark Industries, which has been under the pressure of public opinion, and emerging scientific research institutions that have just gained a foothold in the biomedical industry will reach a preliminary strategic cooperation.
One is an old giant at the top of the industry, and the other is a rising young star, the outside world never thought that these two geniuses would join forces and prepare to enter the energy industry and vigorously promote new energy. The news was like a bomb detonating, instantly attracting the attention of people inside and outside the industry.
The reporters sat in the audience, their eyes were not on Dr. Otto, who gave the speech, a nuclear physicist alone can't make such a big formation, most of the people here are here for Tony Stark and Sean Siperth, two geniuses who are often compared together, and now they are joining forces to challenge the old system of energy, which is the real gimmick!
People love this kind of plot the most, just as they always relished the feud between Edison and Tesla, and no one really cared who was right and who was wrong between these two great geniuses, or who was the real unscrupulous despicable person in that long-lasting "war of electric currents".
The truth is often not taken seriously, and they prefer to watch the kind of legendary stories that have been packaged and promoted. Just like Tony Stark's popularity, not everyone in New Yorkers is a big fan of Stark Industries, and they're more interested in hearing which cover girls the playboy slept with this month.
"Ambrera welcomes you, and today you will witness the birth of a new energy source, safe and efficient, capable of providing electricity to cities without interruption and, above all, incomparably cheaper."
Dr. Otto, a stocky man, stood on the stage with a large screen behind him and a metal machine obscured by a red curtain, holding a microphone and a round face full of excitement that could not be concealed.
"What's that?"
Tony stood backstage, looking bored, having been in Monaco for the Formula 1 Grand Prix, where he was a member of one of the top clubs.
"Dr. Otto's robotic assistant, like your Jarvis, can help him handle fusion experiments against the high temperatures and magnetisms generated during the experiment." Sean replied lightly.
The two of them were supposed to be the stars of the press conference, but at this time they were both hiding behind the scenes and talking, Tony was tired of the news reporters' chattering questions, while Sean maintained his usual low-key style, unless it was necessary to show up on the occasion, he still liked to be an ordinary audience.
"It looks like you're not in good spirits, I've heard that the playboy Stark prodigal son has turned back, and it seems that the tabloid rumors are not credible at all." The young man quipped.
Looking along the collar of the suit, you can find that the black blood vessels in Tony's neck are becoming more and more obvious, which means that the other party's palladium poisoning symptoms are becoming more and more serious, and he is unwilling to abandon the ark reactor in his chest and perform surgery to remove the small shrapnel in his body, and death will come to the door sooner or later.
"Do I have a bad face?" Iron Man laughed, his face was a little gray through makeup, "Probably because the work is too hard and the sleep is a little insufficient." ”
He's been working Mark's armor lately, and the last time he was interrupted by Doctor Doom's solo show, Tony was annoyed by the various properties of the steel armor.
"Are you sure that octopus-like tentacle is safe and controllable?" Tony asked aloud as he watched Dr. Otto uncoat and put on a mechanical tentacle with artificial intelligence.
Four heavy mechanical tentacles, directly controlled by Dr. Otto through neural connections, are connected to the synapses by two rows of nano-nerve leads that penetrate deep into the body, and achieve the effect of waving fingers with the change of mind.
"Rest assured, the Red Queen controls four mechanical tentacles, and even if Dr. Otto's consciousness is disordered, it won't cause any chaos." Sean was confident.
This is not the original timeline, due to an accident in the nuclear fusion test, the suppression chip behind Dr. Otto's head was damaged, so that he was instead manipulated by mechanical tentacles with artificial intelligence, becoming the famous "Doctor Octopus".
After the computational model set up by Skynet, several small errors made by Dr. Otto in the calculation process were corrected, and the artificial sun project was successful, and the next step was to show people the qualified research results in front of the lens of the news media and under the watchful eyes of the public.
"The Red Queen?" Tony was not very interested in the performance on stage, but asked about Ambrera's artificial intelligence with great interest.
"Much like your smart butler Jarvis, the Red Queen is a very capable little girl who manages Ambrera's operations and security systems." Sean shrugged.
While the two were chatting, Dr. Otto had already manipulated the mechanical tentacles and started the nuclear fusion test, the light in the hall of the main building dimmed, and as the curtain was pulled, a strangely shaped metal instrument came into view.
"The finale begins."
Dr. Otto was full of confidence, and he led a scientific research team, and after thousands of repeated calculations and tests, finally completed this great project that he had sought all his life.
"The most important key is that there are only 25 pounds of tritium in the world, which is extremely rare. Thanks to Ambrera and Sean's generous help! Dr. Otto, who controlled the mechanical tentacles, curryed favor with the young boss at the right time.
Under the flexible rotation of the tentacles, a tiny yellow crystal was taken out, and the back was like a four-clawed octopus doctor, wearing a protective eye shield, and began the nuclear fusion experiment, several small beams of light shone on the suspended tritium element, and a strong energy light expanded and expanded, quickly becoming a rapidly rotating hot fireball, like a small sun.
"Successfully achieved a nuclear fusion reaction." The indices on the display stabilized, and the assistant couldn't help but say hello to Dr. Otto.
Loud applause rang out, the flashing lights kept moving, and a nervous Dr. Otto and his wife looked at each other and smiled with a sincere expression of joy on their faces, and soon they would receive great honors and achievements.
"An extraordinary achievement indeed." The blazing light reflected Tony's gray face, and the playboy gave a rare compliment, then added, "Still, it's a little bit worse than my Ark reactor." ”
Staring at the blazing fireball, Sean was contented and stretched out his palm to hold it as if holding the sun in the palm of his hand. Nowadays, he can absorb many forms of energy, but out of a certain evil taste in his heart, young people still like the warm sunshine full of vitality, if he can meet the son of Krypton one day, will the other party regard him as his compatriot?
"I have to go to Monaco to relax, and when the time comes, when my expo is held, I can invite you to be the opening guest...... Edison and Tesla, heh! These journalists have an extraordinary imagination. ”
Tony said mockingly, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, he is the unique Iron Man, and only those tabloid reporters will deliberately create this kind of boring gimmick for the sake of sales.
"Just now, when you come back, I'm also going to introduce a weapon-making genius to you." Sean smiled meaninglessly at the corner of his mouth.
Tony, who put on his sunglasses and was about to leave, sneered, waved his hand and said, "Isn't this title worthless?" There are only two kinds of geniuses in the world, divided into Tony Stark, and someone other than him. ”
