Chapter 279 The dead
The car was driving on the street, and through the window, Meng Ao could easily sense the strange atmosphere lingering in every corner of this prosperous city. It was like the situation that Old Mendel once described to him decades ago.
You can see people who are on their faces with a vigilant look on their faces, and people who are holding signs and protesting in anger. Occasionally, some people who look at those protesters, most of them look at each other with complex expressions, keep a distance again, and hurry on the road.
"It's like a dangerous gunpowder depot, this is the current situation!" Tony Stark, who was always arrogant, was inevitably depressed when facing the abnormal atmosphere outside the car window.
His talent in research and entertainment is indeed unparalleled, but it is indeed a mess in management. Even if his IQ is exposed by him, Pepper Potz will have to counter Tony's management methods. He really doesn't like to waste his time on solving those trivial matters that will never be solved.
"Some small cities are fine, such as New York, which are almost sitting on active volcanoes. Explosions and attacks, coupled with the ability to commit crimes, have almost become the daily scenery of the city. Even where I want to go, I have to carry my Mark suit with me."
While speaking, several mechanical soldiers spewing tail flames whizzed past the gap between the city's tall buildings.
"The Mark series of mechanics, a mass-produced version from the production line. They are now responsible for patrolling the city back and forth, then joining the battle, stopping crime, and then destroying. If they are not destroyed, they are back to the Avengers Building for repairs. After repairing, they join the patrol again."
Tony Stark also saw the several Mark Mechanical soldiers passing by outside the car window in front, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Things have changed so quickly. A few years ago, I ordered the closure of Stark's military department and blocked the Ministry of Defense's hand to purchase Mark's suits. But a few years later, I had to open Stark's military department again and equip the country with Mark Mechanical soldiers with Stark's industrial weapons logo. Nothing more embarrassing me than this."
"What can I do?" Meng Ao spread his hands helplessly.
"More powerful tyrant soldiers. You have to help me." Tony Stark beat the snake and said on the stick: "I don't want defective products."
"I never sell defective products, either." Meng Ao said firmly.
"I mean the newer and more powerful tyrant soldiers. Unless the government wants to destroy the entire city, the weapons they rely on will not be used to deal with the level criminals in the crowd. For those level criminals with diverse abilities, no matter how many soldiers there are in the army, it is not enough to cause them a catastrophic harm." Tony Stark talked about arms with Meng Ao in his car without any concealment. Obviously, he has been under a lot of pressure over the past period of time. He has not had much private time.
"You have to bring out something for me so that I can help you convince the board of directors." Meng Ao raised the banner straight away and pulled out Storm's board of directors directly. Even though Meng Ao has firmly grasped Storm's company now, the world has never said that there are no surprises.
Hank Pim, the founder of Pim Technology, is also the chairman of the board of directors of Pim Technology. But his student Darren Klaus drove him out of the board of directors, cutting him off his right to interfere in all matters of Pim Technology.
The creators of enterprises are swept out of the house by various means. This kind of thing is so common in this country, or the whole world. Even though Meng's Storm is special, Meng's importance to Storm is unquestionable. Now that he has gained a foothold, he does not have to worry about being swept out as easily as Hank Pim, but he is still not as good as he can do everything alone.
The mother nest of the second generation Tyrant series has just been upgraded not long ago, but it was because Nick brought him a huge military purchase order and the people on the board of directors heard the news. At present, Storm's company must have better technical reserves, but both Meng Ao and those on the board of directors don't want to throw it out so quickly.
"Give them money!" Tony Stark's method was simple and neat. For him, all problems that can be solved with money are the simplest problems. What he is best at is using money to solve problems.
The buildings and pedestrians on both sides of the road gradually became scarce. During the conversation, Meng Ao and his convoy were approaching Storm's old house. After the convoy stopped, Tony Stark politely rejected Meng Ao's invitation to have a cup of tea. Mark's suit, which fell from the sky, made an appointment with Meng Ao to meet again, and then left directly.
After greeting Lao Al, Meng Ao entered his bedroom, opened the elevator door to the basement, and arrived at the core underground experimental base located in Storm's old house. The underground base was still empty, with only some small robots appearing and corners under the control of the White Queen, busy with time when people are not visible to others.
Meng Ao walked straight along the way. All the doors automatically slid in front of him to the sides as he passed, and closed behind him after he stepped on it. A little girl in white clothes that floated out of thin air, with a sense of illusion, was floating, following Meng Ao, reporting to him every detail about all the affairs that had been born in this base during his absence.
Of course, the most of them are what experiments Dr. Bruce Banner did, what instruments he used, what materials he spent, as well as experimental data and prospects, etc.
"Where is Bruce?"
Meng Ao patiently listened to the White Queen's report, and after she finished talking about the important part, she spoke out and asked about the traces of Bruce Banner.
"The doctor is in the laboratory you prepared for him." Queen White immediately reported.
"If he is not doing any important experiments, then inform him and tell him I am back." Meng Ao nodded. For Bruce Banner, as long as there is a peaceful place that he cannot destroy for his life, he may never leave that place. If this place can provide him with many experiments he wants and research that interests him, it would be even better.
"Tell him that he can't always stay in the lab. As a member of the Avengers, he should also contribute. By the way, he asked me for the 'dead' director. I think he should come out and breathe." (To be continued.)
