Chapter 140 The Encounter at the Fair

New York, Flushing.

Crowds of people poured into the Science and Technology Museum like sea water. The World Expo belonging to Stark Industries will be officially held here tonight.The scientific and technological achievements from different countries can have a free display area after passing the layers of review by the organizer.

Sean entered the center of the science and technology museum unimpeded from the VIP passage. News reporters from major TV stations took their seats early, while Pepper Pepper was directing and arranging various facilities in the background. For this grand solo show, Tony prepared four He will wear the latest steel armor on stage to complete his debut.

"Where's Tony?" Seeing Pepper approaching, Sean couldn't help asking.

The playboy whose life was at the end received short treatment for a week in Umbrella. The lithium dioxide medicine could temporarily suppress the symptoms of palladium poisoning. Dr. Helen Zhao's regeneration cradle was enough to move Tony a little. Surgery, taking out the remaining shrapnel in the body, does not require a long recuperation period, and can directly walk around alive and kicking.

Next, it depends on Tony Stark's own genius mind.In the original timeline, it was Nick Fury who handed Howard Stark's relics to him, and then Tony found clues to the new element from his father's video during his lifetime, and then replaced the palladium energy plate to complete Iron Man. new rebirth.

To this, Sean just gave a little hint. If Tony is really a unique and peerless genius as the newspaper said, then he will naturally find clues and find the precious treasure left by his father.

"Since he came back from Umbrella, he has been buried in the laboratory. In his heart, steel armor is the most important thing." Pepper complained as if nothing.

Miss Secretary always felt that Tony was hiding something, and she kept running towards Umbrella recently. She looked at Sean expectantly, hoping to learn the truth from him.

"Tony often told me that Pepper is his best helper, more important than Jarvis."

Sean avoided Pepper's probing eyes. Now this lady secretary has been promoted to the CEO of Stark Industries. Her shrewd and capable style has eliminated the dissatisfaction with Tony within the board of directors, and at the same time, it has also allowed some difficult gossip to be heard. Self-defeating.

He couldn't help but feel lucky for Tony. Before that, Obadai sheltered the playboy, so that Stark could indulge in his emotions and enjoy life; later, Pepper Pepper helped manage the company, otherwise, no matter how talented a person is Outstanding, busy with tedious chores all day long, sooner or later he will burn out and lose his original patience and passion.

"Men are different from women. A proud person like Tony will not worry the person he cares about. He can give you everything he has, but he will not tell you the pain in his heart."

Sean smiled faintly, and Tony, who was dressed formally in the background, came here. He winked at Pepper and said with a smile, "If you're really curious, why not ask yourself."

After a few words of pleasantries, he was dragged away by Tony with any excuse. The two walked to the corner of the backstage and whispered in a low voice: "What did you say to Pepper?"

Facing Stark's questioning, Sean shrugged and said, "Miss Potts is just worried about your physical condition."

"So you told her everything?"

"Of course not. I promised you to keep it a secret, but she should have guessed it after a while. After all, you are picking a successor, and your behavior is so abnormal. It seems like you are arranging a funeral. Everyone will have doubts."

Seeing Tony's nervous expression, Sean couldn't help but feel amused in his heart, and continued: "She will soon come into contact with that terrible reality, so you have to speed up and solve your own problems."

Unlike the past gloomy look, the revived Tony smiled proudly: "My old man still taught me a lesson after 20 years. Before long, Iron Man will be reborn from the ashes!"

Hearing these confident words, Sean probably guessed that Tony had discovered the huge treasure left to him by his father. It was an advanced technology that exceeded a century. At that time, limited materials and resources could not be successfully completed, so Howard had to open it. The key to all this was handed over to his son, but unfortunately the secret hadn't been revealed yet, the business tycoon who built the military empire died in an accident.

"Then I wish you luck." Sean patted the other person on the shoulder, ready to leave.

"I heard that you are contacting the procurement officer of the Ministry of Defense, trying to enter the military industry?" Tony hesitated for a moment, and stopped the young man who turned around. "I sold Stark Industries' weapon manufacturing factory to Hammer Industries in a package. Although Justin Hammer is an incompetent waste material, he has enough background and strong funds. In comparison, An Brera is too immature."

As a former military industry tycoon, Tony certainly knows the inside story of military purchases, as well as some unspoken rules in the industry.

Generally speaking, if you want to become a national defense contractor, you must first obtain the procurement qualification of the Ministry of Defense, and military enterprises will occupy different positions on the procurement list according to their own strength and importance.The higher the ranking, the more purchasing discounts and invisible subsidies will be obtained. For example, Stark Industries used to be ranked in category A, standing at the top of the industry and accounting for more than half of the military's procurement share.

And companies like Hanmer Industries and Cross Technology with insufficient qualifications or accumulation can only relegate to the B category and follow Stark Industries to pick up some leftovers. As for Osborne Industries, which has failed miserably, It has to be extended further, which is enough to prove how fierce the competition in this market is.

Now that Stark Industries has withdrawn from the competition, leaving behind a huge share of purchases and orders, Hammer Industries is eager to buy the weapon manufacturing factory, just to fill the vacancy in this area, and the rest of the military enterprises are also gearing up and eager to share a piece So, at this time, Umbrella wants to enter the field of military procurement. Even with the recommendation of General Ross, he can barely squeeze into the procurement list at most, and he will not get any lucrative money at all.

"Remember what I told you before, Umbrella found a genius-level weapon designer." Sean looked calm, and he pointed to Tony's chest, "His achievement will not be lower than yours."

Iron Man chuckled, his pride clearly revealed, and he said firmly: "The Ark reactor is an advanced technology, and no one can replicate it within 20 years!"

He didn't believe that anyone could make the invention of a gadget that was as large as the chest. If this technology was so easy to replicate, the military wouldn't try to get it.

Sean smiled, but did not answer. He was looking forward to the surprise that Ivan Vanke would bring.Umbrella walked all the way, didn't he step on the dead bodies of his predecessors to achieve today's achievements.

Walking in the huge venue, it is not yet the time for the start of the expo, and the outside audience has not poured in, so it is not crowded.The young people walked around, admiring this grand solo show that attracted many eyes as a bystander.

Some frustrated scientists rushed to the venue early with scientific research results, expecting to find discerning investors here.However, Sean glanced at them and found that most of them were conceptual designs with no prospect of application development.

People who can be called geniuses in this world are similar to rare animals. Not every time there is a dusty pearl waiting for others to discover.

Sean looked around casually, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a tall figure wearing a peaked cap, standing in a specially set up nostalgic exhibition area, where 20, Howard Stark The black-and-white video of the 64th "Tomorrowland" Expo held at that time, [-] countries participated in it, and many novel products were exhibited, such as tape recorders, tapes, nylon, etc., which triggered a wave of technology.

The handsome man looked at the old video played on the monitor. In the picture, Howard Stark was showing a suspended car, claiming that it was a unique anti-gravity technology. The electric spark slammed onto the stage with a bang.

Seeing this scene, the man couldn't help laughing, with a faint look of nostalgia in his eyes, he looked very young, but there was a vicissitudes of life in his body.
