"I'm sorry, I'm in the current situation, I can't help you research the gravity device, maybe you can wait another two years until I finish the project I'm working on."

In the office, hearing Hawking's purpose for finding himself, Reed immediately waved his hand and refused.

If under normal circumstances, he would not refuse to help a righteous superhero like Hawking research and invent some equipment.

But now the project in his own hands is even more important, and if it can be completed, it will not only bring his company back to life, but also benefit all people on the planet.

"Well, as far as I know, you're bankrupt now, and even you have only one security guard and one cleaner left in this building, do you still have the money to continue working on the project you're working on?

I think you can help me improve the gravity device first, and then I can continue to work on Ling's project when I have the money. ”

Hawking opened his mouth to suggest.

Reed scratched his head a little embarrassed:

"This... There were some surprises, but soon I was able to solve the problem, and I was planning to get my college classmates to invest in this project, and when the project was completed, I would have a large amount of money in my account. ”

In fact, with his IQ, casually researching some scientific and technological products, it is easy to make money, but he is too proud to disdain those low-level technologies.

If he wants to study, he will study the kind of scientific and technological inventions that can change the entire human race, or the cross-century scientific and technological inventions.

Just like his current project, which has cost all his company's funds and several years of hard work, can use the high-energy storm generated by the coronal solar wind to trigger the evolution of the entire life form.

If this kind of evolution can be studied in space, it can fundamentally advance the understanding of human genes in existing technology, so as to cure various terminal diseases, prolong life, and make future human beings stronger.

"It seems that Dr. Rieder is very confident in his project, which makes me a little curious about it, and I am also interested in investing in it if it really works."

Hawking feigned interest.

Investment, that is impossible, because he knows that this experiment is bound to fail.

It's just that because of this experiment, the Ried Four became the Fantastic Four, and the college classmate Victor, who invested in him, became Dr. Doom, who was cheated for billions, and the company's stock plummeted and was on the verge of bankruptcy.

"But the research of my project has to be carried out in space."

Ricd's eyes lit up, then darkened again.

Not every company has a space station, and League of Legends knows that it is not a technology research and development company.

"That's not a problem, I know some high-level government officials, and if you want to do research in space, it's not a problem for me."

Hawking waved his hand.

When Richard heard this, he immediately took out a box from the desk next to him, and then said as he opened it:

"Then I'll tell you more about this project."

"Don't be in such a hurry, Dr. Rieder, I'm a person who pays more attention to fair play.

In this case, I will go with you to the college classmate who is looking for you first, and see what conditions he will make and not let you suffer. ”

Hawking smiled and reached out and pressed the box that was about to be opened again.

It's better to leave a Doctor Doom for this big injustice, as long as he avoids Reed going to space later.

"Of course that's good."

Reed was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately.

Originally, he pinned his hopes on Victor, but now there is one more hope, and it is two people to compete, which is of course the best.

"Ben, pack up, we'll go to Victor now!"

......

"How strong do you have?"

On the way to the Victor Building, Ben, who was driving, asked Hawking, who was sitting in the back, with some curiosity.

Unlike his college classmates Reid and Victor, he did not choose to start a business after graduation, but joined the military, and he was better at fighting and flying various vehicles, including the space shuttle, than scientific research.

He had seen on TV that Hawking could easily stop a van moving at full speed and throw a multi-ton cart away, and he had always wondered how powerful Hawking really was.

"This... I haven't really done much of the math. ”

Hawking spread his hands.

He really didn't calculate, in fact, if he didn't count the qi in his body, his physical body was not so exaggerated.

The strength of the Dragon Ball World warriors is not only the physical body, but the most important thing is the qi, if there is no increase in qi, both the attack power and defense power of the physical body will be greatly reduced.

It's like Vegeta, who has 100,000 combat power after the transformation of the giant ape, carelessly didn't protect his tail with qi, and was actually cut by Archilobe, who only had 970 combat power, and later after recovering his human form, he was attacked by Archilobe with a big wound in the back.

Under normal circumstances, there is qi to protect the body, but the gap in combat effectiveness is too large, and it is impossible to break the defense at all.

"I really can't see that you have so much strength with such a figure."

Ben looked at his thigh-thick arm, which was as thick as Hawking's thigh, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Hawking didn't answer when he heard this, but he secretly said in his heart:

"It's okay, soon you'll be a Hercules too."

In his memory, after Ben became a stone man, he had a strength of five tons at the beginning, and after slowly adapting and training, he could reach a maximum of a hundred tons of strength.

The body is extremely hard, and the physical defense exceeds that of Colossus.

It's all in Manhattan, and in less than half an hour, the car drove to the Victor Building.

When they met them, they saw the huge metal figure erected at the entrance of the building, which was none other than the owner of the building, Victor von Doom.

"It's really typical of Victor's approach."

Ben looked at the statue with a hint of sarcasm on his face, and he didn't like Victor's hypocrisy and arrogance.

Reed nodded approvingly:

"He hopes that everyone standing here will feel ashamed of themselves, so that they can have the upper hand in the negotiations."

"I thought that in general, only the dead would erect statues."

Hawking looked at the exaggerated metal figure and made a joke.

"Hahaha, it seems to be true!"

Ben burst out laughing when he heard this.

The three of them walked into the building through the metal figure, and because Reed called Victor in advance, the three of them were sent to Victor's office in person by the beautiful female front desk.

"It's been a long time, our great Reed, and Ben, who is this?"

Victor greeted the two old classmates with a hypocritical face, and then looked at Hawking with some confusion.

Reed was about to introduce when he was immediately interrupted by Hawking:

"I'm a friend of Dr. Reid, Dr. Reid, so let's tell us about your project."

"Okay, my project looks like this..."

Reed opened his box, pressed a few buttons, and a virtual projection immediately appeared over the office, and then a jargon that Hawking didn't understand came out of his mouth.

And over there, Victor is quiet on the surface, but his heart is already turbulent.

He knew that if this project was completed, it would definitely change the direction of the entire human race, and the real value contained in it was far more than his brainless classmate Reed imagined.

Therefore, he definitely wants to win the investment in this project!
