Chapter 108: High in New York, Mecha Battle (Part I)
In recent times, the most high-profile event in New York City is the upcoming Stark Messe Fair!
Unlike previous Stark Industries, this one will have a very heavyweight company participating.
Therefore, the attention of the expo is also directly full, which can be called the most attention in history.
However, as the CEO of Stark Industries, Tony Stark has never appeared in public.
Everything about the fair was handled by Tony Stark's assistant, that is, Pepper Potts.
So there are rumors in the market that Tony Stark seems to have had a serious illness, so he will retreat behind the scenes and never show his face.
This made the employees of Stark Industries inevitably feel a little uneasy in their hearts.
Even when an expo is about to be held with unprecedented influence, some employees are still under a thick shadow in their hearts.
I'm afraid that only when Tony Stark becomes Iron Man again and makes his debut in front of the public, can all these rumors be broken!
It's just that those rumors that don't sound good are not baseless rumors!
Because, Tony Stark does have a very serious health problem.
The health problems don't come from illness, but from the ark reactor on Tony Stark's chest!
Tony Stark uses the second generation of the Ark reactor, which uses palladium metal as a catalyst.
Palladium metal has extremely excellent catalytic properties and is a key metal element for the normal operation of the Ark reactor.
It's a pity that when the metal palladium is catalyzed in the Ark reactor, it will produce extremely serious heavy metal pollution.
But the Ark Reactor was running in Tony Stark's body again.
Therefore, Tony Stark is equivalent to suffering from heavy metal pollution for a long time.
Over time, when too much metal palladium accumulates in his body, it will cause him to be poisoned by palladium.
And this process is irreversible and unstoppable.
Even Tony Stark's daily drink of an antidote that smells worse than shit has no effect at all.
Suffice it to say, Tony Stark is putting his life behind the wheel.
Others are Kryptonite wearing battle suits, but Tony Stark is Kryptonite, no matter how hard his life is, it is impossible to survive.
After a long time, Tony Stark naturally wanted to take off his battle suit and honestly be a scientist hidden behind the scenes.
However, Peter's presence changed the situation.
……
In Malibu's Coastal Villa, Pepper Potts was shoving a glowing object into a hole in Tony Stark's chest with his trembling palm.
The glowing object and the hole were tightly combined, and then spun around with a click.
Pepper Potts let out a long sigh of relief, and then immediately looked at Tony Stark with a nervous expression.
"Tony! I shouldn't be doing anything wrong, right? ”
Tony Stark, who was originally pale and sweaty, also nodded slowly at this time.
Looking at Pepper Potts, his eyes were already full of undisguised strong feelings.
"Very good, you did a great job! Even I can't be that perfect! ”
"It seems that I, like Stark Industries, can't live without you at all!"
Pepper Potts' face turned red as she heard what Tony Stark was saying.
But immediately after, Pepper Potts looked at Tony Stark with a serious expression.
Then, pointing to the glowing object on Tony Stark's chest, he asked:
"Is this what you exchanged with Celestial Industries?"
The luminous object is a new model of the Ark Reactor, unlike the circular coil structure of the previous version of the Ark Reactor.
Instead, it was replaced with a more stable triangular structure.
So, you can see the triangular light nested in the glowing ring under Tony Stark's shirt.
Tony Stark slowly sat up straight from his chair and answered questions as he straightened his shirt.
"That's right, to be precise, it's not exchanged, it's the product of our cooperation."
A hint of curiosity appeared in Pepper Potts' eyes.
"Cooperation?"
"That's right, it's cooperation!"
Tony Stark, who had his shirt straightened, stood up and snapped his fingers into the air.
Suddenly, a large area of projection light shone in the room.
It makes Pepper Potts feel as if he is in a sea of stars.
This is exactly what Tony Stark's virtual projection workspace is, where complex knowledge is presented in the most concise symbols and patterns.
It is similar to Peter's circular console in the No. 1 foundation.
Then, with a flick of his finger, Tony Stark pulled out a document from the mass of documents.
The document suddenly unfolded in the air, turning into a blueprint for a space rocket.
"Baxmmann saw the signs of my palladium poisoning a month ago, and then he offered me a new element that could replace the metal palladium, and as a technical cooperation, I helped Celestial Industries' space rocket to refine some of the core problems of the power plant."
Space rockets?
Pepper Potts's mouth was slightly open, and there was already a look of shock and disbelief in his eyes.
"The rumors turned out to be true? Is Celestial Industries going to start a space business? The scope of their business is so broad that it's easy to get into trouble! What the hell does that woman think about Kelly Drady? ”
Obviously, Pepper Potts is not optimistic about the series of operations of Celestial Industries.
Tony Stark, however, is the opposite.
"Didn't you find out? Celestial Industries is an interesting company, and from the very beginning, it seems that they have been aiming for the development of space technology! ”
"UAVs represent the accumulation of technology in the aircraft, combat robots and mecha represent the protective power of the aircraft, and secondary vibranium represents the upgrading of the basic materials of the aircraft."
"I'm afraid that the current space rocket is just a pretense, what they really want to make is a space battleship that can carry out space navigation!"
Tony Stark reasoned and guessed step by step.
Unconsciously, it really made him see through Peter's layout for so long.
After hearing this, Pepper Potts couldn't help but gasp.
"What a crazy guy! It's hard to imagine what kind of madmen are behind the Celestial Industries! ”
Tony Stark was silent for a moment, and then, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Crazy? I think you're right! But in the eyes of others, why am I not a madman? ”
"Forget it, let's not talk about these things! Next, let's welcome the opening of the expo! ”
"With this new Ark Reactor, my [Endurance] has directly increased by 50%!"
Pepper Potts scoffed, amused by Tony Stark's self-deprecating joke.
Next, the two of them also began to get busy again.
Because this expo is different from the past, we must do our best to deal with it.
Otherwise, if it is messed up, it will affect the reputation and stock price of Stark Industries.
Neither Pepper Potts nor Tony Stark wanted to see Stark Industries' stock plummet.
……
New York City, Flushing Place, on the stage of the Stark Messe exclusive to the huge stage.
This event of science and technology was kicked off in the dance of a large group of beautiful dancers dressed in cool costumes and with a round light on their chests imitating Iron Man!
I saw Iron Man in a steel suit fall from the sky and take the stage in a standard superhero landing style.
Then, the steel visor bounced off, and Tony Stark's face appeared, prompting a large cheer.
After completing the debut in a very cool way.
Tony Stark walked to the center of the stage, and a large number of mechanical arms reached out from the ground, removing his suit, and the whole process was full of dazzling technology.
Let the crowd below erupt into a series of neat shouts!
"Tony! Tony! Tony! ”
Tony Stark, who returned to the state of his suit and leather shoes, stretched out his hands to make a downward motion, signaling everyone to be quiet.
He then began his regular opening remarks.
"Everyone is welcome to our fair today!"
“……”
After finishing his speech, Tony Stark walked off the stage calmly under the gaze of countless adoring eyes.
Then, like that, I walked to the top of the first row of the stage.
And sitting in the same row are all heavyweights.
This includes CEOs or CTOs of many large technology companies.
However, the most eye-catching thing is the back of the one wearing the iconic nano-metal suit.
Representing the Celestial Realm Industry, Ptman!
To the left of Baheatman is Kelly Deleddy, who is dressed up.
And on the right hand side of Baxman, it turned out to be Spider-Woman in a shiny white evening dress!
That's right!
At this time, Spider-Woman did not wear the pale spider suit that frightened countless criminals.
It's an evening dress that fits perfectly, showing off Spider-Woman's near-golden ratio.
You don't need to look at the face, just the perfect curve is enough to make people unforgettable.
Even the best supermodels can't have such curves.
It's just that Spider-Woman's face is still covered with a white butterfly mask.
The mystery of Spider-Woman is well maintained.
When Tony Stark passed by where Bathman was sitting.
But he stopped and looked directly at Baheatman in front of him.
Baxmman suddenly stood up and looked directly at Tony Stark in front of him.
The atmosphere seemed to be a little tense for a while, and the originally lively scene suddenly quieted down.
However, it was Baxter who spoke first.
"It seems that your body has fully recovered, and the new generation of Ark Reactor has a triangular design? I like it! ”
Tony Stark grinned, his white teeth glistening in the light.
"The triangle is the most stable structure, you know what I mean."
The two of them stretched out their palms at the same time, shaking each other heavily.
"The power unit you designed is very useful and saves me a lot of time."
"Haha, the value of a brand new element, but not just a little bit, if there are any problems in the future, just come to me."
"That's what you said, don't regret it then......"
The two of them just stood and talked, not paying the slightest attention to the curious gazes cast from all directions.
There is no way, as the hottest two in the technology industry at the moment, no matter where they appear, they will cause a sensation, let alone now that the two appear at the same time and have made such a friendly exchange.
It's not as outrageous as the rumors say, and the relationship between the two is so bad that they have to fight as soon as they meet.
While the conversation was in progress, all aspects of the stage were also proceeding in an orderly manner.
The first is Stark Industries' own scientific and technological achievements.
Then, there is the technology presentation of each technology company in order.
A man in a crisp suit and gold-rimmed glasses walked onto the stage.
And with him on the stage, it turned out to be three huge steel boxes.
The steel box was more than five meters high, and it stood upright on the stage, which turned out to be a kind of steel tombstone.
The man who came to power at this time was none other than Justin Hammer, who had regained his spirits.
I saw Justin Hammer looking at Bathman and Tony Stark in the crowd with a smug look.
Then, press the button in your hand!
"Ladies and gentlemen! Please witness it! An epoch-making product from Hanmer Industries! ”
"Please...... The ultimate war weapon of land, sea and air amphibious - [War Giant]! ”
The steel box behind Justin Hammer burst open.
Three huge steel mechs appeared in front of everyone.
I saw that the war giant, which was originally painted in dark gray, had been sprayed into a camouflage style, which was more in line with the style of the military.
There was an exclamation from the audience.
Especially the representatives from the military, all of them looked at the [War Giant] with burning eyes at this time, and the corners of their mouths were already smiling.
Because this is great news for the military!
Long before the start of this expo, Justin Hammer had already let out the news.
Ambitious claims to launch a new generation of products that can disrupt the current war mecha market.
Therefore, various factions of the military sent representatives to the exposition.
Now that they have really seen the emergence of such a highly completed product as [War Giant], of course they are very satisfied.
Because of the previous war mecha market, it was completely monopolized by the Celestial Industries.
Therefore, Celestial Industries can set prices at will.
Now with the emergence of the [War Giant], a situation of competition can be formed.
Maybe the price can be reduced because of this, and the military will be able to buy more advanced war mechs at a more favorable price.
Even one of the deputies sent by General Ross was nervously pulling out the phone at this time and making a call.
Apparently busy contacting General Ross to consider the war giants of Hammer Industries.
