With these two painful experiences of being pitted, the U.S. military can now say that it is itching with hatred for Reed Richards.

Of course, on the surface, there are still relatively friendly relations for two reasons.

1. The fact that the funds that have been cheated twice and accumulated close to 50 million US dollars have become a fact, and if the money has been spent, it will not be recovered, even if the culprit Reed Richards is dismantled into parts inside and out, it is not worth a few dollars. If a harmonious relationship is maintained on the surface, if Reed's brain really comes up with something terrible one day, then the military, as a partner, will definitely be able to contact it as soon as possible.

Second, Reed Richards is a real genius no matter how he says, and he also has a great reputation in the corresponding academic circles, and once he is done, it will shake the confidence of many scientists to cooperate with the military.

And the military, whether overtly or covertly, relies on this group of scientists for the research and development of high-tech weapons. The military can't let the big-headed soldiers study any space-based weapons, electromagnetic rifles and other weapon items, they just need to know how to use them.

Therefore, when Reed met with the third military chief who had just taken office, and proposed a space exploration plan that was mercilessly rejected in person, when she was sent out of the door by the secretary, she first apologized to Reed Richards and Ben Grim with a professional smile, saying that Mr. General was in a bad mood today because of something and spoke more ugly.

Miss Secretary also mentioned that because there are multiple high-level weapons projects going on at the same time, the military's funds are indeed a little stretched, and the space exploration plan is really not in their consideration, and the next time there are other projects that the two sides can discuss and cooperate, it is best that Mr. Richards can come up with a complete design plan or the finished one.

Ridla, who had been attacked by the military's turnips and sticks, left the military's office silently with his angry friend who wanted to continue his theory.

In fact, Reed also knew that he had cheated the military twice before, and he felt a little guilty in his heart, but he was only curious about studying all kinds of novel theories, and he really couldn't restrict his active brain to make some broken guns and knives in his eyes.

After leaving the military area, the Reed couple went to NASA, which is also known as NASA. However, this is of no avail.

NASA's own funds are now less than a year a year, and the Houston Center, which used to be able to launch launch vehicles and space shuttles at every turn like fireworks, has now shrunk seriously in one year, and many of these launch missions are still funded by private foundations and capital.

Therefore, some old employees and new employees within NASA have lamented how beautiful their lives were during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union in the last century.

Because of the-for-tat between the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, the space race inevitably began. As the absolute main force at that time, NASA, whether it was project approval, funding, materials, or talents, it was all easy.

As it is now, the military spending allocated by Congress to the military is steadily increasing every year, and a "bad Internet celebrity" like NASA can only bend down the noble body of the past and beg grandpa to raise money to maintain equipment.

After learning of Reed Richards' intentions, the head of NASA was very happy and immediately ushered the two into the VIP room to prepare for a detailed discussion.

Reed and Ben Graeme were at first so happy to see the person in charge that they thought the matter was settled. As a result, NASA has no interest in funding his space exploration program, they think that NASA has been tired of these things for decades, and they are not optimistic about the so-called "safest" low-Earth orbit manned probe designed by Reed.

So what is the real purpose of NASA's treatment of both of them with such enthusiasm? That's selling! Skill! Technique!

No matter how good you are Reed Richards, you have been a peerless genius who can read widely since you were in the womb, but in terms of manned spaceflight, we at NASA are the most professional!

Not to mention, Reed was a little embarrassed at first because he misunderstood the "good intentions" released by the other party, but the real idea of American aerospace turned out to be so "commercialized". And one thing I have to admit is that after running at high speed in his mind, he came to a conclusion that he was really moved!

"Reed, you..."

Ben Graemm, who was a good friend, knew Reeda quite well, and he could tell at a glance that the old man around him was excited.

It is said that it is better to act than to move, but he must remind his friends in time that the small amount of money and time required for NASA's technology packaging and providing internal technical support to skilled personnel is not at all!!

In the end, although Reed was very excited, because of the sadness of not having money, he finally stumbled and said that he would go back and think about it.

Although the head of NASA regretted that the two sides could not reach a cooperation, he still gave Reed and his wife a valuable advice before parting:

That is to go directly to the consortium! Find the big boss! THEY WERE ABLE TO OUTSOURCE THE PROJECTS THEY RECEIVED FROM THEIR SUPERIORS TO SPACE-X, WHICH PROVES THAT THIS IDEA SHOULD BE CORRECT.

Reed's first search was for the most prestigious company at the moment--- Stark Industries. As a result, not only did they fail to meet the famous Iron Man Tony Stark, but they also failed to meet Pepper. As for the reason, don't ask, it's an important internal meeting.

And the Crawford Group and Laura are their fourth stop. Unlike before, in addition to Reed Richards and good friend Ben Graemm, there is also a younger version of "Captain America" who appeared in the Crawford Building this time.

"Hi ~ beautiful sister, don't make an appointment tonight~

What? You say I look like Captain America? Hahaha! That's right! You've got a good look on your face, and the famous Captain America Steve Rogers is indeed related to our family. ”

Reed looked at Johnny, who was actively "courting" not far away like a peacock with an open screen, and sighed silently. Ben Graemm, who was on the side, looked away directly, he and Johnny, who was young and active, and liked to play cool, had always been incompatible.

Johnny, who feels good about himself, because of this handsome face that is full of similarity with Captain America, as well as a good family background and a "romantic and chic" temperament, the success rate of flirting with girls is still quite high.

Just as Johnny smiled evilly and was about to continue his offensive and take down the young OL in front of him who was quite in line with his aesthetics, he inadvertently glanced down while standing by the window.
