112 Chapter 112
When Miss Stark landed in the middle of the street in New York in a steel battle suit, and then the video of soaring into the sky was uploaded to the Internet, this short video of less than ten seconds almost made everyone who noticed it show a surprised expression.
On the Internet, the controversy over the steel suit she wore has also become more and more familiar to more and more people as the media scrambled to report it.
What exactly is she wearing? Is it some kind of powered exoskeleton armor made with new technological capabilities?
What does its appearance herald? Is it a new world-class arms race, or is it a dying military enterprise that has once again demonstrated its incomparably powerful creativity and wants to regain its glory?
Similarly, the video of her wearing a steel suit was sent to the White House, Congress, the Pentagon, and the SHIELD headquarters at almost the same time, and the next morning, it was almost a doomed result, Miss Stark Was "invited" into his office by Nick Fury.
In the director's office of S.H.I.E.L.D., the two sat down across a leader's desk, but neither of them chose to speak. They just looked at each other silently for a few minutes.
Nick Fury has received feedback from the U.S. government and the U.S. Department of Defense, but he doesn't know how to speak up, and Miss Stark, she doesn't care about it at all.
After a long time, the big bureau chief behind the desk was the first to lose his composure, and his slow opening also symbolized the beginning of a new negotiation.
"... Regarding that thing, don't you have anything to say?"
"I don't think I have anything to say, Nick, what do you want to hear from me?"
Miss Stark was sitting in another chair across from her desk, with her arms folded and a look of disdain on her face.
"Although I don't know how many weapons and equipment you have installed on it, I can see clearly that the appearance of that thing is a challenge to the existing public security and social order-you think the government may allow this kind of thing that will threaten your own rule. Does something of status come up?"
As early as when Miss Stark joined S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury asked the Romanov agents lurking beside her to analyze Miss Stark's character and psychological outlook, and included it in her file , completely sealed up.
He is very clear that the woman in front of him is a genius and an anarchist at the same time. When the identity of anarchist is combined with the ability of genius and the family background of Stark Industries Group, she becomes the most powerful person in the world. Dangerous people, or one of the most dangerous people.
The reason Miss Stark still maintains a good relationship with the U.S. government and the U.S. Department of Defense is because her father once stood on the side of the U.S., and she inherited her father’s connections, and believes that the U.S. government and the U.S. Department of Defense Still have value to use.
However, one day in the future, when her interests are contrary to the direction of the United States, she will not hesitate to choose to protect her own interests from infringement.
"We are a legal country, and I have applied for patents for all the above technologies, but this does not mean that I have assembled them together, and they have lost the protection of the patent law, Nick."
"You know better than I do that the government doesn't care what laws it makes when you threaten it. Robert Bruce Banner is true, and neither are you."
Hearing Nick Fury's words, Ms. Stark nodded approvingly. She doesn't know what kind of government agency the US government is. It is the largest bureaucratic institution in the world, and it is also a capitalist oligarchy. Spokesperson.
Although it considers itself a beacon of the free world, everything from elections, constitutions, law-making, and social and public service regulations to the U.S. government is for the financial power behind it, not for American citizens.
And when an individual owns assets far beyond his control, he may not necessarily be able to cross classes and become a master. It is more likely that he will be completely swallowed and divided by the interests behind the US government on the grounds of national security.
"Yeah, I know better than you, and I know that the S.H.I.E.L.D. under the United Nations has always worn the same pants as the U.S. government. I think... last night, the government and the Department of Defense A group of big shots, I'm afraid they didn't sleep well."
Having said that, Miss Stark had a mocking smile on her face, she just stared straight at Nick Fury's dark face, paused, and opened her mouth again.
"But don't you think, if they push me, I can fly directly to Washington, and use the simplest and most brutal method to solve all the troubles."
There was a silence - in the director's office, when Miss Stark's voice fell, Nick Fury did not answer, he closed his mouth, remained silent, staring at the woman in front of him, without any expression change on his face.
He didn't expect this woman to be so crazy. He just put pressure on the national level and wanted to create an opportunity for peaceful negotiations, so she directly turned the table.
This kind of behavior of the Landlord's opening king bomb is very consistent with Miss Stark's behavior style, but it makes people feel a little embarrassed, and they don't know how to respond.
"...you wouldn't do that."
"Why wouldn't I?"
"Because you still have interests involved with the U.S. government, doing so will only make you lose everything."
Hearing Nick Fury's words, Miss Stark froze for a moment, and then a bright smile appeared on her face.
"Okay, tell me, what do you, or you guys, want to do?"
Miss Stark knew very well that Nick Fury called herself over from New York, definitely not simply to warn herself, there must be a deeper reason in it.
"You know, this kind of thing cannot be in the hands of individuals. At the national level, the government will not agree, and at the world level, we will not agree, so...how about you make a price."
"Well, do you think it's possible, Nick?"
Be reasonable in doing things. This is Miss Stark's code of conduct. With two infinity gems, she can almost be said to be able to walk sideways in the universe. The reason why Miss Stark chooses to make steel suits is, It was to protect the people she wanted to protect, not to protect herself.
Would she be willing to resell her work? Of course not—well, until Nick Fury spoke up and brought up another matter.
"I remember...the incident in New York last time, you said you would owe me a favor, does it still count?"
"Really, just to get it, you have to use up this favor. You have let me down, Nick, our relationship should not be so shallow."
A mocking smile suddenly appeared on Miss Stark's face, she squinted her eyes slightly, staring at the black bald head in front of her, with a hint of frivolity in her tone.
"There is a lot of pressure on my side. You can just fool around with something similar. At least let me use it for a job. The government even persuaded the World Security Council to help find me, making it impossible for me to refuse them."
"Don't worry, it won't fall into the hands of people with ulterior motives. It will only stay in S.H.I.E.L.D. I guarantee that you will be able to see it whenever you come over."
Miss Stark was silent for a few seconds, and then negotiated with the director for about a minute on the price issue, and finally nodded, and the deal was completely sealed.
"I can hand over the prototype to you. Its model is relatively old, but its design concept is advanced. How much you can analyze depends entirely on you. I won't bother with the rest, but if something goes wrong, Don't come to me either, I'm annoying."
"Sure, as long as you can give me something, I will help you solve it later."
Nick Fury didn't know that the prototype that Miss Stark would hand over to him was just a string of satellite positioning numbers.
And the real thing is lying in the ruins of a cave in the Afghan desert at this moment, together with countless blown rocks and munitions that have not been completely blown up, waiting to be excavated—or, Waiting for the wrongdoer who bought it for 30 billion US dollars to lead people to discover it.
"So, after this, do you have any plans? I see that you have bought back a lot of your own group's shares recently?"
After the business negotiation is over, the rest is to greet each other, but what Nick Fury is more interested in is what Miss Stark plans to do next.
"Of course it is to restart the arms sales channel and reorganize the weapons research and development department. That is my father's lifelong painstaking effort. How could I let it collapse like this."
Miss Stark spoke uprightly, as if she wasn't the one who announced the closure of Stark Industries Group's arms business at the press conference.
"...Aren't you a fraud, aren't you afraid of being sued in court?"
"How is this a fraud? After closing the arms business, looking at the diving stocks, I have realized my mistake. I have to find a way to remedy the wrong thing."
"As for those companies and enterprises that took advantage of the stock price dive to buy stocks at the bottom price, they are companies and enterprises that have nothing to do with me. I just admitted my mistake and restarted the arms sales business at the request of the board of directors. How could it be a fraud? behavior."
Nick Fury stared closely at this brazen woman who seemed to have no skin, her eyes twitched a little, but she didn't know how to evaluate her behavior of dumping the pot. Did he really think everyone was an idiot?
"After that, Stark Industries Group will set foot in energy industry, materials industry, medical care, education and other industries, and fully implement the industrial layout. It won't be long before I become the richest man in the world."
After talking with Nick Fury, soon, an orange-red super sports car drove away from Roosevelt Island, where S.H.I.E.L.D. Slowly driving in the direction of the Tucker Industrial Group headquarters.
"Miss, the materials have been transported to the industrial park, and the plan to upgrade the arc reactor technology can be started."
When Jarvis' voice sounded, the music stopped for a while, and Miss Stark was taken aback, then remembered what she had ordered a few days ago.
The electricity used by the group headquarters and the industrial park is continuously supplied by a set of large tokamak reactors left behind when Howard was still there in the last century. Although the energy supply effect is strong, the safety is poor. Although it has been running smoothly for half a century, it seems that it is not keeping up with the times now.
Miss Stark asked Jarvis to order a palladium ring with a diameter of two meters from a company specializing in the sale of rare metals.
In fact, Jarvis almost got it wrong at first, thinking that she was buying shoes named Paladin (Palladium, French Paladin, French military boot brand), but later figured out that what she wanted was palladium, a rare metal. Crystal (palladium), and the quantity required is very large.
Palladium crystal is a kind of radioactive metal. It used to be one of the precious metals for a while. It was not until people discovered its toxic radioactive properties that they abandoned it and let its price drop instantly. If it goes down, it can only be reserved for industrial use.
The Stark Industries Group has a lot of internal storage, which is mostly used for chip manufacturing. The reactor that Ms. Stark once defeated in Afghanistan used the palladium crystals removed from the missiles, and the palladium rings were remade after high-temperature melting and forging.
But this time, the amount she wanted was not even enough for the group's internal storage, so she could only order an extra part. Fortunately, the price was cheap and not expensive, but the production would have to wait a few days.
The metal company that was selected to order palladium crystals didn’t know what Stark Industries was going to do with such a large amount this time, and they insisted on making it into a ring, but they still provided processing, after all, the customer had already paid in advance, Naturally, we must do our best.
Soon, a giant palladium ring with a diameter of two meters was transported by air to the West District of Washington, and sent to the Stark Industrial Park, next to the original large reactor.
"Okay, notify the park to prepare to shut down the gates, and dismantle the reactor after I rush over, I will rush there as soon as possible—"
As soon as the words fell, Miss Stark's mobile phone suddenly vibrated. She slowly parked the car on the side of the road, ignoring the surprised or envious eyes from passers-by, took out her mobile phone, and glanced at the words on the screen , but couldn't help frowning.
There is no other reason. The men's mechanical watch she gave to Dr. Banner appeared in the United States at this time, at the Caltech University.
"You bastard, just study magic at Karma Taj, what are you going to do!"
Throwing the phone on the co-pilot, Miss Stark scratched her hair in distress, and decided to go to the park first, and then rush to Southern California.
