Chapter 219: The Farce of the Exposition (Part II)
On the day of Stark Messe, New York was very clear, the streets of Midtown were full of traffic, and the entire East Street of Grand Central Terminal was blocked.
The trunk of the work vehicle was opened, and the staff of the TV station removed the reflector and the bracket of the camera, and near the front of the car, the editor-in-chief was explaining the precautions to the reporter holding the microphone.
On the side of the road, many luxury car drivers impatiently honked their horns to drive away Internet celebrities and bloggers who occupied the road for shooting, and even the stalls selling coffee and hot dogs were also stained.
It didn't take long for the glass door of the Stark Building to open, and everyone was like a soldier who heard the order to assemble, the reporters reacted the fastest, rushing forward with spears and cannons, and the owners of luxury cars held their identities, slowly opened the car door, took the coffee bought by the driver, and leaned on the car to watch.
The young couple squeezed in, Peter protected Gwen with his arm, and the two followed the crowd into the Stark Building, where Gwen whispered to Peter, "You seem to be very familiar with the road, and it seems that you were very serious during your internship." ”
Peter looked left and right for a moment and said, "It just so happens that I brought my work permit today, and we will go through the staff passage." ”
As he spoke, he pulled Gwen out of the crowd and walked to the other side, Gwen said with some worry: "But we don't know the specific address, where is the 90th floor written on the invitation?" ”
"I don't know, but we must have gone up to the 89th floor first."
The other people who entered the building did not have such a high level of subjective initiative as Peter, and after they entered the lobby of the Stark Building, they found that there was not even a guide here, and many people were complaining about Stark's neglect, but in the spirit of coming, most of the people also followed the flow of people to the elevator.
The carrying capacity of Stark Building is good, even if so many people pour in at once, they are still transported into the top floor in an orderly manner.
The 79~89th floors of Stark Building, which belong to Stark's personal laboratory, are generally not open to the public, and almost no one has ever entered and exited Stark Building on the 89th floor, and when the flow of people poured out of the elevator, everyone was stunned.
At the beginning of the 21st century, the technology has actually been quite developed, but it has definitely not reached the level of Zenith technology displayed by the Stark Building, and the moment they left the elevator, the entire corridor was lit up, and an electronic synthesis voice sounded: "Hello, I am Jarvis, the butler of the Stark Headquarters Building, welcome everyone, please follow the light guidance, go to the designated place to participate in the fair......"
At this time, the lights came on, and a holographic projection of arrows appeared in the hallway.
The flow of people follows the guide through the high-tech hallway to the side lobby on the 89th floor, where three walls and half of the ceiling are all glass curtain walls.
The curtain wall is covered with a honeycomb-like structure, and as the flow of people inflows, the metal panels are rolled over like fish scales, and bright but unobtrusive sunlight shines through the glass.
Peter walked in with Gwen from the staff passage to the lobby, and Peter was used to this, but Gwen was very surprised and said, "Can the strength of such a large area of glass curtain wall really support the building?" ”
Peter explained to Gwen: "It's a new technology from Stark Group, and it doesn't have an official name yet, but I call it resonant glass, and the larger the glass area, the stronger it is......"
The crowd poured into the hall, only to find that Stark was not here, and just as they wondered where Stark, the host of the industrial fair, had gone, there was a thin buzzing sound over their heads.
Immediately after, the sound of dense armor rubbing like a machine gun sounded, and layers of shadows suddenly appeared on their heads, and everyone looked up, and then opened their mouths wide.
With the sound of the whistling wind, hundreds of racks flew in from the openings at the corners of the glass curtain wall, the sunlight shone on the metal mechas, and the entire hall was like a diamond rain, and the dazzling luster couldn't open their eyes.
Immediately after, a louder jet sounded, and a huge aerial platform fell from the center of the hall, and the moment it touched the ground, smoke rose around the platform, and all the mechs fell, and the arch guards were around the platform, and Stark, who was wearing a suit, rose from the platform.
The dense crowd around him didn't move for a moment, obviously shocked by his unimaginable appearance, but then, Stark opened his arms and said, "Do you think that's all?" ”
He shook his head, then slowly raised his head and looked at the sky, everyone followed his movements and looked up, in an instant, the mecha covered Stark's body, he flew up in place, flying out of the exit of the glass curtain wall on the ceiling, and then everyone heard him say, "Ready to unfold!" ”
Stark's words fell, and the crowd saw that shadows were gathering over their heads, and the other half of the ceiling was covered in metal, and then countless metal structures rolled over like ocean waves.
The supporting columns rose layer by layer, the walls grew like living creatures, the plates spread, the gears tangent, and the structures overlapped, and in an instant, a mechanical city like an empty island appeared above everyone's heads.
They watched as Stark, flying in mid-air, unleashed an incomparably huge mechanical city on the 89th floor of the Stark Tower.
Then, people saw that the huge mechanical island began to descend slowly, and the mechs in the hall flew out in all directions, and then stopped under the island, as if to catch the huge island.
When such a huge giant building overturned, everyone showed a frightened expression, and this kind of landing process like the top of Mount Tai was suffocating.
In the center of the hall, Stark descended from the light curtain elevator, and when the elevator landed, his visor opened, and the voice echoed through the hall:
"Welcome to Stark Messe!"
As the words fell, the mecha that flew out was supported under the Sky Island, and then quickly transformed into a pillar, and with the sound of machinery and jets, the mechanical Sky Island landed steadily above the Stark Tower.
It was unknown who gave the first cheer, but after a few seconds, a boiling shout resounded throughout the hall.
The crowd was completely boiling, no matter what the purpose of their arrival, but there was no doubt that they had witnessed a miracle of human technology.
At this time, Schiller's satisfied voice came from Stark's ears: "! It's not worth it that I've been screwing the light bulb for so long. ”
Stark replied to him by holding down the headset, "Obviously, the least important thing here is the process of you screwing the light bulb. ”
Everyone in the surveillance room of Stark Building breathed a sigh of relief, and Steve glanced at the surprised expressions of Peter and Gwen in the surveillance footage, and said, "Peter would be very sad if he knew that we didn't take him." ”
"He himself said that he would wait for his girlfriend, and he couldn't come early." Schiller put down his coffee cup and said, "Let's go, the work is done, it's time to visit the exhibition." ”
"You go first." Rhodes, who was behind the two, said: "Stark told me that someone might come to make trouble, and I will go and check the evacuation channel again to prevent it from spreading to ordinary people." ”
Natasha straightened her hair and said to Schiller: "Stark knows that someone is going to make trouble, and he still makes such a high-profile appearance?" ”
"What you should be worried about right now is not Stark's safety, but the safety of the group of people who want to make trouble."
The two walked into the hall, and Schiller said as he walked: "The security facilities of the entire Stark Building have been fully upgraded, and I doubt that those people can ......"
After Peter dragged Gwen to the Sky Island, the two of them became merciless exclamation machines, unable to utter anything except "wow" exclamations.
After boarding the empty island, all kinds of new technologies and new machinery developed by Stark Group are displayed on it, and all kinds of mechanical creations that should not appear in this era are dizzying.
Generally speaking, industrial fairs should be comprehensive in nature, even if Stark is the organizer, other industrial groups should be invited to participate in the exhibition, and after the organizer provides the venue, it will set aside their own venues for other exhibitors, and the previous Stark Industries Fair is also in this form.
However, the Stark Industrial Fair held by Stark has no place for anyone else at all, and it is a very pure "Stark Industrial" Expo.
This also starts from the moment when Stark used the magic reactor to ascend to the dimension, at that time, in addition to the high-dimensional sensory experience, he was also inspired by the combat methods of the Iron Demon God's mechanical army.
Stark was not an extreme techno-conservative, but he was disgusted by something uncontrollable due to his lack of security.
But the emotional upgrade for Jarvis made him take the first step, and then the vampire war made him realize the importance of quantity and functionality, and later, the perspective of the Iron Demon God made him realize that the so-called risk and uncontrollability are actually just the technical level is not enough, as long as it can reach the realm of "I am a group", there is no risk of intellectual crisis at all.
Stark, who had experienced this feeling, began to break through the barriers in his heart, and no longer grasped the path of the individual mecha to study to the death, obviously, he also felt that the master of the machine and the torrent of steel were more practical than becoming a flawless mechanical individual.
Thinking about this, Stark has been inspired, in the past, there was only one line of skills, and once the technical bottleneck was encountered, the research progress would be shelved, but now, Stark has developed a dense skill tree on the basis of that line, and when there is a bottleneck in a certain research, then turn a corner and go to another route, which makes his research efficiency greatly increased.
The biggest difference between Stark and other geniuses is his rich creativity, after upgrading his route to a skill tree, the exhibits at Stark Industries are extremely rich, and there is no need for any cooperation from friends, Stark's inventions and creations alone have supported a whole large industrial fair.
If it weren't even for Schiller's annoyance of screwing the light bulb, the size of the mechanical sky island would have shrunk by a third compared to expected, and Stark would have been able to stuff more stuff into it.
Even the most discerning critic has to admit that this is an unprecedented fair, not only because of its shocking opening, rich products, advanced technical level, and most importantly, it is an exhibition completed by Stark Group independently, which fully reflects the shocking financial resources of Stark Industries Group and the amazing creativity of Stark himself.
"How? I said it would be a surprise. Stark, who was squeezed out of the crowd, said to Schiller, who had just landed on the empty island: "The reporters are stunned, can you imagine? None of the reporters asked me about the peachy gossip, and they were all amazed at how I did it......"
"Compared to this ......," Schiller said, turning his head to look around for a moment, "don't you think there is something missing in this scene?" ”
"What's missing?" Stark was stunned for a moment and said, "My exhibits are all here, what's missing?" ”
"What about your opponent?" Schiller looked at Stark and said helplessly.
Stark opened his mouth for a moment, "I forgot about them, yes, what about Hammer and the one named Ivan Vanko?" Aren't they supposed to show up at my industrial fair to make trouble? ”
