The official opening ceremony of the Stark Industries Expo will be held at 7 o'clock tonight, with a large performance. It is now 5 o'clock in the afternoon, which is the peak time for admission. All kinds of people and cars are turning this place into a noisy ocean.
The temperature in New York in May is not high. It is only 11 degrees at night, which is still a bit cool. But the atmosphere near the venue has become as hot as a furnace. The closer you walk to the performance venue on the side of the venue, the hotter the air becomes. The people walking beside you are no longer mainly adults as before, but groups of young people laughing and laughing, gathering at the performance venue. This is more like a concert than the opening ceremony of an expo.
Everyone knows that Tony Stark is not the kind of person who follows the rules. Wherever he is, there is definitely fun. Those young people are here for tonight's performance. And the performers of the opening ceremony have been announced long ago, absolutely big names!
Many current affairs commentators are joking, why does the opening ceremony of an expo with high technology as the main theme have a star lineup comparable to Hollywood to help? You have to know that those so-called stars don't know what technology is at all. At most, they can only play with their mobile phones and computers. Most of them can't even do photo editing and need assistants to do it. They don't know anything about high technology.
But ordinary people like it.
And Stark Group is rich! What is the most notable feature of Stark Group? Most people's first reaction is not high technology, nor weapons, but - rich. This feature has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people under the strenuous endorsement of a certain young master for more than ten years, and no one doubts this. In fact, many people sometimes suspect that this is a publicity strategy of Tony Stark. After all, when the concept of Stark's wealth is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, everyone naturally thinks that Stark Group has strong capital.
This impression is very important because this thing itself represents wealth. This is also the reason why Stark Group's stock has been high.
And this big show of Stark Group is purely... a certain young master is happy. Top singers, top dance troupes, top magicians, and top acrobatic troupes are all available. The young master will never invite performers below the first-class level, because he can't afford to lose that person. This is a super carnival organized by the Stark Group.
It is definitely more attractive than the one in Chicago. No wonder the broadcasting rights and live broadcast rights of the opening ceremony were sold at a sky-high price of several hundred million.
The warm-up started at 6:30 in the evening.
The dynamic DJ electronic music made the scene like a music festival. Many girls had their thick jackets tied around their waists, revealing large areas of snow-white, wheat-colored, and dark skin, blending in with this hot evening.
7 o'clock in the evening!
The stage was silent!
The lights went out, even the lights in the venue went out, and only the mobile phones in the hands of the audience formed a piece of starlight!
At first, tens of thousands of people at the scene were silent because of this, but the audience immediately thought that the opening ceremony was about to begin!
Then everyone started cheering!
Then a "shooting star" suddenly appeared in the sky!
The cheers became even more enthusiastic!
That was Iron Man! ! !
As the cheers reached the highest point, the stage lights suddenly turned on, and dynamic music sounded.
On the stage, a row of more than 30 beauties in tight costumes began to dance the cancan to the music!
It was the kind of dance where you kick your legs with your skirt!
The hot bodies, coupled with the tempting costumes, immediately made the scene feel like returning to the decadent life of Broadway or the Moulin Rouge in the 1960s and 1970s!
The scene exploded instantly!
Countless people began to shout wildly, and they didn't even know what they were shouting. Anyway, the atmosphere was there, so they just shouted!
Then Iron Man appeared above the venue!
It was at this time that the dancing girls suddenly tore off their clothes! The red and gold clothes inside were revealed, which were not much more than bikinis, and there was a round LED light in those huge chests!
They were cosplaying Iron Man!
Sexy, gender-reversed version!
It was also at this time that Tony landed on the circular platform in front of the stage with a bang, and then the platform began to deform, and mechanical arms stretched out to help Tony take off his iron armor.
"Tony Tony Tony!!!"
"Iron Man! Iron Man!!!"
"I love you, Tony!!!"
There was a thunderous cheer from below, and then Tony waited until the applause and cheers subsided a little, and then he started to show off.
While he was showing off, a Russian guy with a face full of flesh and a bad look was watching the live broadcast through a small TV with a toothpick in his mouth.
"Ivan Vanko! Have you finished the final debugging? Tomorrow is our debut!"
A handsome man with a bit of vulgar temperament rushed in and shouted to the Russian.
Ivan Vanko ignored him and continued to stare at the TV.
Ivan Vanko, the son of former Soviet nuclear physicist Anton Vanko, is also a physicist and mechanical engineering genius. After his father's death, he developed a micro arc reactor and power suit on his own. Although he and his father can both be called geniuses, their situations are completely different from those of Stark and his son.
Anton Vanko had never been trusted by the Soviet Union because he had joined the United States and even worked in SHIELD. Since he left SHIELD in anger and returned to the Soviet Union, he has been under surveillance and custody. The Soviet Union did not trust this traitor at all. Even when the Soviet Union collapsed, Russia did not trust him.
It was also because of this reason that Vanko and his son lived in poverty all their lives. Ivan could not even go to college because of this reason because of his bad political background. He was obviously a genius, but he could only stay in a car repair shop as a mechanic... and his father died of poverty and illness.
The father and son blamed Howard Stark for all the suffering they encountered.
Ivan was jealous of Tony, very jealous!
He was indignant that his situation was so different from Tony's! He wanted to prove that he was better than Tony! He wanted to prove that Stark and his son were liars and thieves!
"Ivan!!!"
The wretched man was Justin Hammer, chairman and chief scientist of Hammer Industries. This guy is just an academic hooligan. He has some skills, but who can compare with him? He is at most a good scientist, and he is not the top among ordinary people.
But he likes to learn Tony Stark's style and make himself a technology tycoon like Stark. He even wants to learn Tony's playboy style.
Unfortunately, he is a clown in the eyes of many people.
No one likes him, except those in the military.
Of course, those people like him, but they just use him as a white glove. Do you really think the military is stupid? Knowing that Hammer Industries' products are poor, they still choose his company. There are so many conflicts of interest in this, anyone who understands a little can think of it.
Anyway, it's the country's money, so of course those people don't care.
I don't know if it's because he pretends too much, he is too involved, and he really believes that he is the second Tony Stark. So his arrogance is 100% learned. He couldn't stand Ivan, because Ivan looked at him the same way Tony looked at him!
Like looking at an insect! Han Mo felt insulted, and said to Anton Vanke with a cold face: "You have to respect me. You insisted that I bring you here. You have to find your place."
Anton Vanke glanced at Han Mo, tilted his head indifferently, and said: "You can fire me!"
Seeing Han Mo speechless, Anton Vanke grinned and stared at Stark on TV and said: "Hello, Mr. Stark, we are about to have the third round of competition!"
After that, he said with a look of disgust: "Only the finishing work is left, and there will be a big show tomorrow!"
"Really? That's good! That's good!" There was a sinister look in his eyes, he wanted to get all the praise! Then... this Russian... doesn't need to show up!
He waved his hand, and several security guards with electric batons walked towards Ivan.
And Ivan looked at the security guards who surrounded him in the middle with a calm face.
He also smiled with a successful plot!
…
The opening ceremony was very successful, and the three-hour opening ceremony was full of boring moments. It immediately raised the popularity of the Expo again!
At the same time, Hammer Group also took advantage of this popularity to promote its own press conference!
Iron Warriors!
A targeted mechanical corps specially built for the military!
And unlike Tony, who needs to be driven by people, the Iron Warriors are all unmanned, and the driver only needs to stay in the safe rear to control it!
According to the Hammer Group, this is an epoch-making invention. Then there was a series of clip previews, which whetted everyone's appetite.
This made many people full of expectations for the Hammer Group's press conference.
The next day, at seven o'clock in the evening.
The Hammer Group's press conference started on time.
Kai was also invited, and he didn't want to come. But I don't know what Justin Hammer thought. He found a lot of connections and hoped that Kai could come, and offered Kai a price that he couldn't refuse, 30 million donations! 10 million of which was designated for the 15th Precinct.
30 million... Kai didn't know that his appearance fee would be so expensive.
Later, I asked Natalie and found out that the problem was still with Kai. After all, Kai became famous because of the "Iron Patriot". The Hammer Group was willing to spend so much to find him, in fact, they also wanted Kai to support the Iron Warriors, so that they could suppress the Stark Group.
If even the only person in the world who has operated the Iron Man Armor besides Tony came out to speak out...
In short, don't think others are stupid!
30 million, anyway, every big company has this kind of donation every year, and it doesn't matter who it is donated to. It's still profitable to replace a person like Kai to stand on the platform.
Just like that, Kai came.
30 million, even if Kai didn't want to come, all the police officers hoped that he would come.
After all, it's related to their welfare.
"What is this guy doing? Is he addicted to copying?" Kai couldn't bear to watch Justin Hammer twisting his awkward and uncoordinated dance steps to go on stage surrounded by a group of beauties. It completely copied Tony's opening yesterday, but it was not as cool as Tony, and it always felt funny.
Kai didn't quite understand what "Dong Shi Xiou Pin" meant before, but now he probably understands. A vivid performance!
"He's always like this..." Pepper, who was standing next to Kai, said helplessly. She knew the grudge between Hammer and Tony very well. Hammer was really annoying. Even a gentle person like Pepper couldn't stand this guy.
Kai turned to Natalie on the other side of him: "Aren't you from the legal department? Why don't you sue him?"
Tony is actually helping the exhibition if he doesn't make trouble. He always does things according to his own temperament, which will invisibly bring a lot of unnecessary workload and chaos to the exhibition. This time Pepper didn't let him intervene, after all, the lesson of the opening ceremony was still vivid in her mind.
For ordinary exhibitions, Pepper would not be present in person, but Hammer Group... This is related to the interests of Stark Group itself, so she had to come!
Natalie pouted: "This guy is a gangster... The reason why he can be famous is because of Tony. He is not afraid of being sued at all. On the contrary, the more he is sued, the happier he is."
Hammer Group does not have a glorious history like Stark Group. It was established not long ago. In order to stand out, Justin Hammer tried every possible way, and the simplest way is to hype himself up. He relied on this trick to make himself a strong rival of Tony.
It raised his status all of a sudden.
But in fact, Tony always treated him as a clown.
This guy is very keen on making a fuss.
"Tsk..." Kai felt like he was seeing Huayu and the public intellectuals.
He is disgusted everywhere.
While they were chatting, Hammer had already started to introduce his products. He originally planned to talk more, but unfortunately... no one wanted to see him talking.
So I can only talk about the real stuff.
In the first issue of Iron Warriors, there are three models, corresponding to land, sea and air respectively.
Compared with Tony's steel armor, Iron Man Warrior is more bloated and huge, and because it is still an old model of palladium reactor, the energy supply is not as strong as Tony's newly developed new element reactor, so many ion beam weapons are reduced, and live ammunition weapons are used, such as adding Vulcan cannons and shoulder cannons. In order to increase combat endurance, the body needs to store more ammunition, so the volume can only be increased.
At the same time, because Tony's new magnetic ion thruster cannot be cracked (the device will apply a magnetic field to make plasma particles shoot out from the back of the rocket, and due to the conservation of momentum, it will push the aircraft forward), the flight system of the Iron Warrior can only use the more backward pulse shock engine, and liquid fuel is also needed, which requires the body to make room for the fuel.
So the body of the Iron Warrior is 0.5 times larger than the Iron Mech.
However, in terms of appearance, it looks pretty good, which is more in line with Kai's aesthetics. It is tall and majestic, and looks strong.
But in fact, the armor of this kind of mass-produced thing is actually quite ordinary. The attack method and flight endurance are very poor.
But there is one advantage, that is, it is cheap!
And it looks pretty good, and the people below also think it is good.
But just when Hammer was passionately introducing it, suddenly all the Iron Warriors were activated!
Hammer didn't understand what was going on at all. He looked behind and found that the staff who controlled the Iron Warriors in the background were all panicked, because it was not turned on by them!
Kai was not far from them.
Looking at their situation... Is this going to overturn?
But Kai knew immediately that this was not just a rollover!
Suddenly, several Navy Iron Warriors raised their hand cannons and aimed at Pepper who was watching the show! ! !
Boom!
"Fuck!!" Kai immediately rushed up and hugged Pepper and Natalie in his arms, and at the same time began to transform and summon the Destroyer Armor! Block the attack with your back!
