The mechanical craze in Marvel

Nolan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Not quite like it.

……

Chapter 107 I'll be blown up sooner or later (Please subscribe)

Since we're talking business, let's talk it out properly.

Nolan remained calm as they continued chatting; in any case, he had made a killing on this deal.

The price of the Black Armor was too high, so several generals reluctantly bought 120 units.

Nolan couldn't stop laughing when he heard this. A machine that cost several million could be sold for over 10 billion in profit.

While the Terminator is very useful and inexpensive, its value is often not calculated in that way.

Unlike humans, machines are different. The black armor, which can greatly enhance human combat capabilities, is an extremely powerful weapon for the military.

So when they heard that Hammer Industries was producing armor, even though the military knew how unreliable Hammer Industries was in this area, they still eagerly gathered around.

Ultimately, it turned out that not just any company could produce such a high-precision suit.

Besides these, the benefits of Nolan recruiting so many outstanding scientists are finally becoming apparent.

His Whiplash series of combat suits have also been favored by the military, and he has received many orders.

Although Ethan doesn't have the same outstanding abilities as Ivan Vanko.

However, it must be said that he can be the most important component in many projects, and can be considered an all-around lubricant.

It seems that it won't be long before Nolan's Locke Technology will have assets worth hundreds of billions.

Although Locke Technology had developed very quickly before, it spent money even faster.

They even took out a lot of loans using the name of Locke Technology in order to keep the company running.

Especially the money invested in the system, that money has truly gone down the drain.

After a while, once everything was settled, Nolan spoke:

"Do any other matters concern you generals?"

As he spoke, he stood up, adopting a posture of relenting.

Several generals remained motionless, but finally General Ross spoke:

"There's actually another reason we came here this time."

It concerns a deep collaboration between the military and Lockheed Martin.

The fox's tail is showing!

Nolan and Tony Stark both subtly curled their lips into a smile.

Although the matters discussed earlier were important, they were not worth the trip of so many high-ranking military officials.

Nolan adopted an attitude of listening attentively, while General Ross glanced at Tony Stark.

“Stark, now we’re going to talk about defense secrets.”

Upon hearing this, Tony Stark stood up unhappily and walked out.

Then, General Ross spoke:

“Mr. Locke, after this crisis, the military has invited you to join a program.”

As he spoke, he took out a document that he had prepared beforehand and handed it to Nolan.

Nolan took it and looked at it: "Earth Defense Plan".

The name intrigued Nolan; he could almost picture the enormous resources this plan would bring him.

He really wanted to tell them that there was no need to come up with any Earth defense plan.

If you give me the money you've spent on this project, I myself will be the best Earth defense plan.

But that's just something to think about.

It contains a lot of information and can be described as a very comprehensive cooperation plan.

Even the initial cooperation budget has already reached 138 billion yuan per year, and this is only the initial estimate.

If he agrees to participate in the plan, at least 30 percent of the money will end up in his pocket.

Moreover, the total budget for this plan may even reach hundreds of billions a year!

Such an extravagant budget undoubtedly tempted Nolan.

Not only that, after the agreement is signed, the military will also allocate a large amount of resources to Locke Technology, making everything much easier.

However, he soon realized the problem: the project was enormous, involving a variety of research projects, but the corresponding research results needed to be handed over free of charge.

Upon seeing this condition, Nolan put down the document with a disheartened expression.

"I'm sorry, I don't intend to participate in this project."

The generals looked somewhat surprised. They believed that if they had presented this plan to Justin Hammer or other military industry businessmen, they would have signed it without hesitation.

But Nolan just smiled and showed no intention of giving in.

This plan is indeed quite attractive to other companies, but for him it's utterly useless.

All relevant scientific research results obtained during the cooperation period were shared with the military.

You have to understand that Nolan himself possesses countless technologies. By signing these agreements, doesn't that mean that all the products he produces will be shared with the military?

Seeing that Nolan showed no intention of accepting, General Ross spoke up in dissatisfaction:

"You should know that you are not our only choice."

"Of course, please do."

Nolan spoke indifferently.

Noticing General Ross's unfriendly gaze, Nolan chuckled and said:

"Have you seen your daughter recently?"

I've met with her a few times, and she's very happy that Dr. Banner recently joined Lockheed Martin.

With just one sentence, General Ross's face turned completely dark.

The Battle of New York has been over for a long time, but he still hasn't seen his daughter.

This bastard!

General Ross cursed inwardly.

Nolan maintained a smile until the generals left.

Tony Stark walked in and said:

"What do they want from you?"

"They wanted to pursue some outlandish plans, but I declined," Nolan replied with a shrug.

"That's their normal practice, after all, they're all idiots."

Upon hearing Tony Stark's words, Nolan was certain that the petty Tony Stark hadn't forgotten the mockery they had just displayed.

“Nolan, this war has made me realize a lot of things,” Tony Stark said.

Nolan stared intently at Tony Stark, somewhat puzzled by his thoughts.

Tony Stark glanced at the surroundings and suddenly said:

"The Earth is too weak. Although we had discussed the Watchers plan before, I only realized how much the Earth needs such a force at this moment."

It's a joke that an alien invasion was orchestrated by the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., who claims to be the protector of Earth.

Even so, what are those guys at the top doing?

Nick Fury is still sitting in his S.H.I.E.L.D. office, but everyone seems to have forgotten about him.

I dare say that if you hadn't brought this up at the hearing, this matter probably would never have been brought up again.

Nolan agreed with Tony Stark's words; if it weren't for him, Nick Fury would probably have stayed in S.H.I.E.L.D. for a long time.

We need more members!

Tony Stark spoke with unwavering conviction.

Their two-man Watchmen were simply not enough to handle the crisis that was about to unfold.

More members...

Nolan paused for a moment, then said:

“You’re right, the Watchers need more companions, but this needs to be assessed. We can’t just bring people in arbitrarily.”

Now I have an urgent question to ask: when do you plan to remove that arc reactor in your chest?

Upon hearing this, Tony Stark's breathing quickened.

After a while, he spoke seriously:

"Don't you know a good doctor?"

"Of course, that guy's name is Stephen Strange, and he's a top-notch neurosurgeon."

Neurosurgery?

Tony Stark paused for a moment, then burst into a tirade.

"Fuck, it's not my head that's injured!"

Although both are surgical procedures, neurosurgeons are obviously not experts in this.

Nolan laughed heartily, and then said:

"That's not necessarily true, he's a genius!"

Nolan wasn't lying. Although Stephen Strange is a neurosurgeon, it's common knowledge that Marvel's superheroes are mostly geniuses!

Neurosurgery is just his main specialty, but Nolan has done his research; he is also an expert in cardiothoracic surgery.
