Chapter 73 Failed Recruitment (Two in One)

Above the Atlantic Ocean, three figures cut through the originally calm sea surface one after another, with waves and ripples.

"Seal here!" A sharp sword appeared in the hand of one of the steel armors, and the tip of the sword pointed at the strange-looking kitten squatting on the bird in the front. A card appeared between the two along with the ripples in the air.

"Meow~" But just when the drive card was about to be sealed into the card, its paw slightly touched the Xiang card under its feet.

The Xiang card opened its broad wings, and with the resistance brought by the connection between the air and the wings, it stayed in the air with the drive card.

But Su Heng and the steel armor behind him continued to fly forward under the drive of kinetic energy. Su Heng was inside the armor, watching his sword getting farther and farther away from the drive card, and the card that had already condensed also dissipated at this moment.

"Jarvis!" Tony's voice came from another armor.

"Reaction power drive begins." At Tony's signal, a powerful stream of flames ignited behind the two armors, stopping their kinetic energy to continue moving forward, and turned back again.

"Meow~" But the driving card did not want to stay where it was. After it lay on the body of the flying card, the flying card, which had been stagnant in place and flapping its wings, flapped its wings towards the sky, leaving a very strong sonic boom on the sea level, and then turned into green light and disappeared into the clouds.

"Sir, the target has been lost." Tony looked at the message on the display screen of the armor, and stayed in the air again. He opened the mask and complained to Su Heng in another armor: "These two little guys are too hard to catch."

"Your armor is too hard to control." Su Heng's face also appeared from another armor, and he said helplessly: "If I hadn't made a mistake in the control just now, I should have had a chance to seal the two little guys."

"After all, this is my spare armor." Tony shrugged: "How about I make a special armor for you next time?"

"Forget it, it feels weird to wear it." Su Heng said a little uncomfortable: "Don't you feel like you are tied up by something?"

"That's because you haven't gotten used to it yet."

Woo--

Just as the two were talking, a buzzing sound came from afar.

"Sir, the yacht is about to arrive." Jarvis' voice sounded in the ears of Tony and Su Heng.

"Let's go, let's go back to the yacht to rest first." Tony closed the steel mask and said to Su Heng.

"Yeah." Su Heng nodded and followed Tony to the yacht in the distance.

This was a hasty arrest plan. This morning, Su Heng learned from the news that Xiangpai and Qupai were still racing with various planes. Tony, who happened to come to the store to taste dessert, also heard the news report.

He casually told Su Heng that when he first built the steel armor and conducted flight tests, he happened to meet these two little guys.

Su Heng looked at Tony's interested expression, and in front of Tony who almost knew his background, he did not hide too much about himself. He tentatively asked Tony if he could help him catch Xiangpai and Qupai.

Tony has matured a lot after experiencing the Middle East incident, but he still has a bit of playfulness in his heart. Facing Su Heng's request, he naturally wanted to meet the two little guys again.

So the two hit it off, Tony prepared two armors, as well as a yacht and a plane to pick them up, to see if he could catch the two little guys on the sea or in the sky.

But unfortunately, it was not easy to succeed on impulse.

"Huh--" On the yacht, Tony took off his armor with the help of the robot, picked up a glass of champagne on the table, and drank it happily.

"This is really not your style." Su Heng also got out of the armor, looked at the empty scene on the yacht, and said to Tony with some surprise: "I thought this yacht would be full of swimsuit models to welcome you."

"If you want, I can call you 20 or 30 in half an hour." Tony raised his eyebrows and said to Su Heng: "As for me? Recently, I won't make myself uncomfortable at the most critical moment."

"The most critical moment?" Su Heng touched his chin: "Is it Ms. Pepper?"

"Hmm." Tony nodded with some pride: "She can't stand me looking for those cover models."

"Tsk tsk, it's rare, Playboy actually plans to settle down?" Su Heng smacked his lips and said to Tony in surprise.

"After all, you have to cherish the people in front of you, right?" Tony said with some emotion: "After almost dying once, the thoughts in your heart will indeed change a lot."

"Speaking of it," Tony suddenly remembered something while holding the wine glass.

"Jarvis, start the projection mode."

"Okay, sir."

Under Tony's command, the idle armor slowly walked in front of Su Heng and Tony, and projected a light from its eyes onto the wall.

"There's something I want to show you."

Under Tony's control, a list appeared on the projection screen.

"The guys from S.H.I.E.L.D. are recruiting volunteers." Tony pointed to the dark cloaked figure dynamically displayed at the top of the list: "But it seems they haven't found your head yet?"

"Avengers plan?" Su Heng squinted his eyes and noticed the three people at the bottom of the list.

The three people are: Peter, Harry, and Gwen.

However, what is different from the list of people above is that the avatar frames of these three little guys are marked in red.

"The eyes are good." Tony watched Su Heng focus on these three little guys. While pouring champagne, he continued to say to Su Heng: "But don't worry, these three little guys are not in the recruitment plan."

"After all, even if the world is about to be destroyed, with adults like us here, how can it be possible for these children to take the turn to charge into the battle."

Tony said with a faint look.

——

"So Mr. Coulson, can you explain what happened to the three children at the end of this list?"

In Hammer Technology, Dr. Otto, who was wearing a white lab coat and carrying four robotic arms on his back, frowned and asked the guy in front of him who claimed to be a SHIELD agent.

"When will our country's children go to war?"

"Don't worry, Dr. Otto, they are only on the waiting list." Colson wiped the sweat from his head and said to Dr. Otto with an apologetic smile on his face.

"Yesterday, Mr. Tony Stark already raised the same question as you. After asking the director for instructions, we have already removed these three children from the Avengers Project. It just takes a little more time to clear the files. It’s just time.”

In fact, after Tony saw the list given by Coulson last night, he directly called their Director Fury with a sullen face. Then under Coulson's gaze and Pepper's dissuasion, Tony scolded Nick Fury for half an hour.

In the end, Tony threatened Nick Fury with the entire Stark Industries. If Gwen and the three little guys were not removed from the list, Tony would not make it easy for anyone in SHIELD, even if they were both dead.

"Is that so?" After hearing what Colson said, Dr. Otto's expression softened.

"So, Dr. Otto, what do you think of our Avengers plan?" Coulson asked Dr. Otto.

"I'm sorry." Dr. Otto shook his head: "I'm just an ordinary scientific researcher, and the mechanical tentacles behind me are just tools I use to assist my experiments. I don't think I can do anything on the battlefield. How can it help?"

"But we all saw the battle between you and Tony Stark that day. Although you were out of control at the time, your ability to disintegrate the steel armor in an instant is enough to prove your strength."

Coulson tried his best to say to Dr. Otto: "And this time, it is a matter of life and death for people around the world."

"So what kind of bureau do you want to kidnap me, the chief scientist of Hammer Industries?" Justin Hammer opened the office door with an unswerving expression and asked Coulson.

"Otto has a long-term contract with our Hammer Industries. You want him to leave with you just because you say that the people of the world are about life and death?"

"Are you dreaming or am I dreaming?"

Hammer tapped Coulson's chest heavily: "Furthermore, even if it concerns the life and death of people around the world, what do the military of various countries do for food? Just with Dr. Otto and your crappy plan. Can a human being be able to resolve something that even the military of various countries cannot resolve?”

"Mr. Hammer" Colson opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but was pushed back by Hammer.

"In my opinion, your rhetoric is nothing more than official rhetoric you use to attract talents."

"Dr. Otto." Hammer asked Dr. Otto: "How many rockets or missiles do you think you can block?"

"Mr. Hammer, please stop joking." Dr. Otto said with a wry smile: "I am just an ordinary person. How can I block a few rockets or missiles?"

"Did you hear that, Mr. Agent?" Hammer continued to reach out and tap Coulson's chest: "Don't treat us as fools!"

"Mr. Hammer, although what you said makes sense, maybe we still need to seek Dr. Otto's opinion?" Colson looked at Dr. Otto.

"Me?" Dr. Otto shook his head: "I don't agree with your idea, Mr. Colson. Scientific researchers like me and Connors will always play a greater role in the rear than on the front. This is Differences in functions.”

"Of course, if the world really needs my help, I will definitely not continue to stay behind, but obviously the situation is not that bad. After all, Mr. Coulson, the world crisis you mentioned is just you. "

"Okay." Colson said regretfully: "Dr. Otto, I already know what you think. It's such a pity. I originally thought there would be a chance to fight side by side."

"Ahem, since you don't agree, can you tell me the itinerary of Professor Connors?" Colson said with some embarrassment: "The previous intelligence showed that he is staying with you?"

"Mr. Coulson." Dr. Otto frowned and began to speak in a serious tone: "I think I have made it very clear just now. The greatest role of researchers like Connors and I should be in the rear, not in the front line. I don't think his lizard state can withstand rockets."

"Okay, okay." Hammer clapped his hands, looking at Dr. Otto, whose face was getting uglier and uglier, and directly issued an order to Coulson to leave: "Mr. Coulson, you should have seen that we don't welcome you at Hammer Industries now. Please leave quickly, otherwise I will call security."

Under Hammer's order to leave, Coulson could only leave Hammer Industries in disgrace.

Leaving behind Dr. Otto, who was relieved, and Hammer, who was triumphant.

"Mr. Hammer, it's a good thing you're here. Agents like Mr. Coulson are not something I can handle."

"Don't worry, Dr. Otto, I'm here." Hammer patted his chest: "You are the future cash cow of our company. How could I let you be fooled by an agent whose origins I don't know?"

Since the last Stark Industries exhibition, Hammer wanted to use the Iron Man armor made by Ivan Vanko to make a splash at the Expo and give Tony a slap in the face.

But because he trusted Ivan Vanko too much, the Iron Man armor produced by Hammer Industries at the Expo went out of control. If the Night Magician hadn't appeared in time, Hammer Industries would have at least been sued for dozens of lives.

But even so, after this incident, the orders of Hammer Industries, which had been soaring, began to be cancelled in an avalanche, especially the orders for electronic weapons, which dropped directly to zero.

After all, no one wants the weapons they use to go out of control and hurt their own people.

This means that Hammer Industries can only accept the most basic weapons manufacturing orders now.

This also caused the stock of Hammer Industries to fall wildly. If Hammer doesn't find a way to save itself, I'm afraid Hammer Industries will declare bankruptcy.

At this time, the release of the new clean energy announced by Tony just happened to let Hammer, who was full of mixed feelings, find his own way out.

Follow the trend and transform to new clean energy!

If it were someone else, the sudden transformation would definitely cause the company to suffer heavy losses, but Hammer Industries is different. A long time ago, long before Tony Stark announced the new clean energy, Hammer Industries had a new clean energy research project.

Yes, it was the new clean energy project that Dr. Otto had been developing.

At that time, Hammer was extremely fortunate that he did not neglect Dr. Otto after recruiting Ivan Vanko, and it was not difficult for Dr. Otto to continue this research.

And according to Dr. Otto, his experiment has reached the final stage of success.

At that time, whether before or after the new clean energy released by Tony Stark, as long as Dr. Otto really develops it, he will be able to occupy a place in the new clean energy market.

At this critical point, how could Hammer push Dr. Otto, a cash cow that is about to make money, to an unknown agent organization.

"The Avengers list, and Captain America? Who doesn't know that Captain America is a childhood story?"

Hammer glanced at one of the most eye-catching avatars on the list and couldn't help curling his lips.
