Hammer Industrial Building.

As the CEO of Hammer Industries, Justin Hammer, a billionaire in the eyes of outsiders, has had a rough time lately.

I saw Justin Hammer, who used to pay great attention to his personal image, and even every strand of hair had to be taken care of by a professional hairstylist, was standing in the huge laboratory with a scruffy beard.

In front of Justin Hammer stood the chief scientist of Hammer Industries.

It's just that the chief scientist's face is also quite ugly, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Justin Hammer, and he looked cautiously like a primary school student who failed an exam, thinking about how to make up reasons to explain to his parents.

"It took so long for you to end up with such a pile of garbage for me?"

Justin Hammer let out an angry roar as he pointed to the massive steel armor not far away.

I saw that the steel mecha pointed by Justin Hammer at this time reached a height of 3.5 meters, and its body shape seemed to have a sense of power.

Even from a lot of details, you can see the exact same shape as the Giant God Soldier No. 1.

However, no matter how similar this steel mecha copied the Giant God Soldier One.

But it is still full of a full of cottage inferior texture.

A discerning person can see through the essence of its cottage at once.

If this steel mecha is really put on the market for sale, it will definitely be ridiculed by countless media and YouTubers.

However, even if it is so poorly plagiarized, this is not what angers Justin Hammer the most.

The key to Justin Hammer's explosion was that this steel mech only had an appearance, not a real core.

I saw that the energy module that was originally stored in the center of the chest armor did not exist at all on this steel mecha.

A steel mech without an energy module is like a supercar without an engine...... It's not useful.

"I'm really sorry boss, according to the videos you provided before, there is a high probability that the giant mecha of Celestial Industries uses nuclear energy as an energy source, which requires that you must master the technology of a controllable nuclear reactor."

"In such a short period of time, even if our research team triples in size, we will not be able to develop a controllable nuclear reactor."

"Perhaps...... We can consider using lithium batteries for driving, and the effect is also very good! ”

The sweaty chief scientist also wanted to try to regain his place in Justin Hammer's mind as much as possible.

But who would have thought that the word "battery" was a reminder of Justin Hammer.

I saw Justin Hammer, who was originally like an angry lion, control his temper a little.

In a calmer tone, he said:

"Speaking of lithium batteries, Celestial Industries has launched a carbon nano battery before, and if our giant mecha can use carbon nano batteries as an energy source, it is not unacceptable."

However, the chief scientist who heard this sentence seemed even more panicked.

squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying and said:

"BOSS, the technology of carbon nanocells...... We haven't conquered it yet...... Please give us a little more time. ”

Justin Hammer raised an eyebrow, and a palpable anger erupted in his eyes.

Frightened, the chief scientist waved his hand repeatedly.

"Boss, don't be angry first, we have tested it, and we can start our mecha smoothly with a high-energy lithium battery!"

"Oh? This is the only good news I've heard so far, so let's talk about it, with a high-energy lithium battery, what is the sustainable combat time of our mechas? ”

The chief scientist wiped a large piece of cold sweat from his forehead and reluctantly squeezed out an answer.

"The estimated duration of the sustained battle is ...... A minute or so! ”

One...... One minute?

Justin Hammer was so angry that he almost vomited three liters of blood on the spot!

"A minute? Are you embarrassed to say a minute? ”

I saw Justin Hammer, who was furious, reached out and grabbed the chief scientist's collar fiercely, and roared completely regardless of the image.

"Don't you useless [fast gunner] feel proud of a minute's time? Go home and ask your fat, ugly wife, what is a minute enough? ”

The chief scientist, who was sprayed all over his face by Justin Hammer's saliva, finally couldn't help it.

I saw that the chief scientist was already so angry that his face was flushed, and he looked like a madman who was about to go berserk.

If Justin Hammer scolds him for not being strong enough in scientific research, it will be fine.

Now Justin Hammer has even directly shaken out the mess that he is a [Fast Gunner].

How will he continue to mix in the future?

Therefore, the last man's dignity in the heart of the chief scientist burst out.

I saw the chief scientist push Justin Hammer, who was close at hand, away.

Then, he ripped off the work card that was in the breast pocket of his white coat and threw it in Justin Hammer's face.

"Justin Hammer! I've put up with you for a long time! I'll tell you now! I'm not doing it! ”

With that, the chief scientist walked towards the door of the laboratory in a huff.

Justin Hammer froze in place, like a gambler who had lost his entire fortune, his mind blank.

The imitation of drones failed, the imitation of Giant God 1 failed, and even the imitation of carbon nano batteries failed.

Then don't try to imitate secondary vibranium.

Even if the few remaining hairs of the chief scientist of Hammer Industries were to fall out, it is estimated that there is no clue about it.

It's simply an impossible task.

The failure of this series of decisions has made the pressure on Dehammer Industries, which was already a little stretched due to the frantic reduction of orders from the military, and the pressure on its cash flow has become even greater.

In addition, Kelly also sued Justin Hammer for attempted murder and destruction of personal property, making Justin Hammer involved in lawsuits and scandals, and completely fell into a terrible state of embattlement.

Although Justin Hammer regained his freedom by paying a huge seven-figure bail.

But it also made Justin Hammer a street rat that everyone shouted at.

All previous business partners deliberately distanced themselves from Justin Hammer at this time, dissolved the cooperative relationship with Hammer Industries, and instead threw themselves into the arms of Celestial Industries, which was rising like a new star.

Coupled with the angry resignation of the chief scientist now, Justin Hammer is like a deflated balloon, and he directly slumps on the ground.

But just when Justin Hammer was in a state of blank thought.

Suddenly, a loud metal crash woke Justin Hammer up.

Rumble!

The next second as the metal crash sounded, a terrible scream rang out in the laboratory.

Ah——!h

It turned out to be ...... It was the screams of the Chief Scientist!

Justin Hammer was so frightened that he quickly turned his head to look in the direction from which the screams came.

Suddenly, Justin Hammer's pupils contracted violently, and he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

Because, a huge half-human, half-snake monster, at this time, was swinging a snake tail several meters long, slowly crawling in through the laboratory door that had been smashed open by brute force.

Moreover, in the hands of this half-human, half-snake monster, there is even an unlucky guy who has been pierced through the heart.

This unlucky guy is none other than the Chief Scientist who has just resigned from Justin Hammer.

If Gwen had been there, she would have been able to recognize in an instant that this half-human, half-snake monster was the supervillain she had met before, who called himself the giant pit viper.

Justin Hammer, who was trembling with fright, stepped back again and again.

He couldn't understand why such a terrible monster could enter the heavily guarded Hammer Industries.

However, the strong survival instinct still made Justin Hammer pick up the screwdriver on the table next to him and scream in a trembling voice.

"Who are you? Stay back! ”

The cold-eyed, mocking pit viper ignored the poor screwdriver in Justin Hammer's hand.

After swimming the snake's tail into the lab, another man appeared behind him.

I saw that this man looked a lot more normal.

The man was quite strong, wearing a tattered vest, shoulder-length gray hair, and the expression on his face was full of unruly arrogance.

Just when Justin Hammer was panicking.

Suddenly, the giant pit viper threw away the body of the chief scientist, then turned on a tablet and pointed the screen at Justin Hammer.

Justin Hammer's pupils shook again.

Because, on the tablet, there was a figure that made him feel very familiar.

CEO of Roxon Petroleum Company - Minotaur North!

Minotaur Nos was still in the shadows, leaning back against a luxurious high-backed chair.

"Long time no see, my old friend! Don't worry so much, this Mr. Viper is an employee of our Roxon Oil Company, and as long as you don't provoke him, he won't touch a hair of you! ”

"I heard that your research team seems to be in a lot of trouble, so I've found a good helper for you."

"Let me introduce you to Ivan Vanke, a super genius who is even smarter than Tony Stark!"

Ivan Vanko!

A supervillain with a deep connection to Tony Stark, codenamed Whiplash!

His father, Anton Vanke, and Tony Stark's father, worked together to develop technology for controllable nuclear reactors.

But it's a pity that Anton Vanke was driven by profit and wanted to rely on controllable nuclear reactor technology to make more profits, and was finally expelled by Tony Stark's father.

And Ivan Vanke, with his determination to avenge his father, is bound to make Stark Industries pay the price.

He is also the last boss that should only appear in the plot of [Iron Man 2].

But now the reason why Ivan Vanke will appear early is obviously due to the arrangement of Minotaur North.

The last time he lost the battle with the Celestial Industries, it was obvious that Minotaur North was quite unconvinced.

So, now he has found an even more powerful force and is ready to challenge the Celestial Realm Industry again!

As for what Justin Hammer actually thinks, it doesn't matter anymore.

Because, he is now the fish on the chopping board, and there is only one way left to choose from with Minotaur North.

Perhaps from the very beginning of the collaboration with Minotaur North, Minotaur North had already planned this day!

……

Peter and Deep Blue have been very busy lately, because it is not easy to build a space battleship from scratch.

However, Kelly suddenly came to look for Peter that day, interrupting Peter's work.

Peter took time out of his busy schedule to meet with Kelly.

"Did something important happen?"

I saw a worried look on Kelly's face.

"Yes, it's Jessica and there's something going on on there."

Peter lifted his eyelids, as if interested.

"What happened to Jessica? Is it a spiritual problem? ”

"That's right, Jessica has been having nightmares lately, and it's all the same nightmare content, so I used the brainwave reader that Deep Blue helped me make before, and read Jessica's nightmare content, and I think it's necessary for you to take a look."

Kelly's answer surprised Peter even more.

"Brainwave readers? When was such a thing developed? ”

It was only then that Kelly remembered that she had forgotten to explain this matter to Peter, and hurriedly said:

"It was a period of time ago when there were a lot of commercial spies, and I asked Deep Blue to help develop it, which can directly present the content of brain waves in the form of a picture, which is quite easy to use."

Peter also nodded in understanding at this time, and dealt with Jessica's problem first.

Next, Peter sees Jessica's nightmare that is read out.

The content of the nightmare is quite simple, but it is a bit scary.

That's Jessica on an operating table, undergoing some kind of surgery.

Moreover, there are many people who have undergone surgery with Jessica.

Then, there's the image of Jessica being hunted down by some monsters that resemble half-machines, half-humans.

After watching Jessica's nightmare, Peter frowned.

Because, he remembered the content of this episode.

About Jessica's superpower source.

In Peter's memory, Jessica's abilities were artificially created, and the process of making them was carried out by a company called IGH.

"Deep Blue, check the connection between IGH and Pioneer Technology."

After waiting for a few minutes, Deep Blue's voice sounded again, but there was a rare hint of excitement in his tone.

"Found it, master! The people who performed the surgery in the nightmare wore IGH badges. ”

"IGH, a company whose main business is biopharmaceuticals, has been established for more than 20 years, but no drug results have been launched to the market, and the information that can be searched on the whole network is even more pitiful."

"So I analyzed the nightmare image information extracted from the EEG reader and found that the instrument had the symbol of AIM."

"Assuming that the nightmare content is Jessica's lost real memory, then this is the only connection between IGH and NOVA that can be found so far."

AIM, which is also the abbreviation of Pioneer Technology.

Peter also frowned slightly at this time.

"Are the members of IGH really related to Pioneer Technology?"

Originally, Peter was not sure about this matter, but he relied on his instinct to let Deep Blue investigate.

But so many coincidences happen, then it is certainly not really a coincidence.

Obviously, there is a deep relationship between IGH Biotech and Pioneer, and even IGH Biotech is likely to be the skin of Pioneer.

"I can't imagine that Pioneer Technology has gone so far on the road of mass production of superhumans!"

Peter's eyes were particularly deep at this time.

Pioneer's ambitions went far beyond Peter's imagination.

Originally, Peter thought that Pioneer Technology was just a bunch of crazy people who pursued technology excessively.

But now it seems that Pioneer Technology has embarked on another crooked path.

Judging from Jessica Jones's recollections, the pioneer technology dressed in the cloak of the company IGH should already have a fairly mature mass production superhuman technology.

And what's worse is that this mass-produced superhuman technology is more powerful than the [Super Soldier Serum].

It can produce a variety of superhumans with different types of abilities according to different users.

In addition to being superhuman, NOVAD also has the technology to build cyborgs.

From Jessica Jones's escape, it can be seen that the strength of cyborgs is not inferior to that of superhumans.

So, who knows how many transhumans and cyborgs Vanguard has created to serve as its subordinates.

If it is not stopped in time, Vanguard will sooner or later become a supervillain with a threat far greater than that of Hydra.

When he thought of this, Peter also made a decision in his heart.

Now that Jessica Jones is a superhuman created by Pioneer Technology, she has joined Celestial Industries.

Then Celestial Industry and Pioneer Technology have become incompatible with fire and water.

Since the two forces are destined to have a war sooner or later, Peter doesn't mind and creates enough trouble for Vanguard first.

So that they can't continue to develop so smoothly in the shadows.

"Deep Blue, now start investigating the IGH company's information and find out where their lab is!"

"Baxmmann hasn't been on the road for a long time, and I decided...... It's time to move your hands and feet. ”

"If you stay in the lab and do research, you'll become a nerd."
