"Are we really going to accept that playboy's sponsorship? I don't like him very much. "The speaker was a beautiful woman with shoulder-length blonde hair.
The woman's name was Susan, and she was an excellent scientist. The object of her complaint was her fiancé, Reed Charlize.
Charlie was also an extremely outstanding scientist, and could even be said to be one of the most outstanding scientists in the world.
But as a scientist, he had a shortcoming that many scientists had. That was the over-idealization of science and technology.
Dr. Charlize always pursued the latest and most comprehensive technology, or rather, the science and technology he pursued were no longer simple applied technology.
Instead, they rose to the level of philosophy, such as those famous philosophical questions. Who am I, where do I come from, where do I go?
Whether the universe has an end, whether time has a length.
These metaphysical things were what Charlize pursued.
Simply put, what Charlize pursued was no longer simple science, or we can classify his research as the philosophy of science and technology. If science was also a religion, then Charlize was the one who pursued the truth of the God of Science and Technology.
An audacious Heaven Defying Cultivator, a scientist who was not bound by dogmatism, his ideas were unconstrained and untraceable.
He was a genius in all aspects. But he was different from Tony Stark.
Tony's genius and technology were more reflected in the impact on modern life. This kind of scientist was welcomed and respected by most people.
Because Tony could change the world, and although the various innovations he brought might cause a shock to society, everyone believed that what he brought was the direction of the future of science and technology.
Charlize was different. The things he studied were too grand, high and low. Not only did ordinary people not understand what he was doing, even many workers who also did cutting-edge scientific and technological research did not understand what Charlize was doing.
People who were half a step ahead of the times were geniuses. This was referring to Tony Stark.
People who were one step ahead of the times were crazy. This was referring to Reed Charlize.
"We can only accept Stark's help, Susan. You have to know that since the last mission of the space shuttle Atlantis, the space agency has terminated the space shuttle program." Facing his fiancée's questioning, Charlize could only patiently explain.
Charlize had the refined and seemingly polite manner of a traditional scholar.
"You know, our research has reached a bottleneck. We can't capture enough negative particles and dark matter on Earth. We have to go into space. "
"We need a spacecraft that can travel freely in space to capture more of the things we need, and this requires a lot of money." Charlie was at a loss for words when it came to money.
Susan also looked at her fiance with an unfriendly expression. "Speaking of which, you used the money that was supposed to be used to prepare for the wedding to buy experimental equipment, right? That pile of stuff in the basement at home."
Speaking of this, Susan was very angry. Their wedding should have been held a long time ago, but because of Charlie, the wedding had been delayed again and again.
"I'm sorry, Susan. This is the last time. I swear by the First Law of the Universe, "Charlize said confidently.
Susan shook her head. She already knew what kind of person Charlie was when she fell in love with him. Since she chose him, what else could she do but complain?
"Why didn't you accept the military's sponsorship?" Susan mentioned that the military was also willing to sponsor Charlie's research.
"My dear, you have to know what kind of people find us to sponsor." Speaking of the military's sponsorship, Charlie's face was a little stiff.
"They don't care about science, and they don't care about the future of mankind. They just want more powerful weapons, and then create a larger scale of slaughter. "Charlie had a guilty expression on his face.
"In order to get funding from NASA, I already did something wrong."
That was more than half a year ago. The SWAT member gave Charlie a severed Lizard Warrior's palm, which was cut off by Li Jie.
At that time, Charlie's research was short of funds. To be exact, there was never a time when Charlie's research wasn't short of funds.
The military's request was whether they could extract the Lizard Warrior's serum and start the new Super Soldier Project.
The Super Soldier Project with Captain America as an example was actually not successful. Rogers was the only super soldier that was successful, but Rogers' transformation was actually an accident.
The Super Soldier Serum that Rogers injected himself was actually a wrong formula. Originally, the injection of this serum was enough to make Rogers's body completely collapse.
And because of various accidents, the serum that caused this error displayed an ability beyond the original setting on Rogers.
So after Rogers, the US government has experimented with many plans for the Super Soldier Serum, but the strengthening effect of those correct formulas was far less effective than Rogers.
Just like Captain America's shield, it was also an accident when Howard Stark smelted vibranium.
Although vibranium is rare, it is not impossible to obtain, but Captain America's shield has always been the only one.
It can be said that Rogers is really the son of this world. With all kinds of luck, all kinds of problems that should have been accidents have become good things for him.
For example, Frank and Nick Fury, as well as many high-level and high-level agents of S.H.E.L.D., have been injected with the improved version of the Super Soldier Serum – Infinity Serum, but the strengthening effect is far less effective than Rogers.
The military's Super Soldier Serum has never stopped, but there has been no significant progress over the years.
"The Lizard Warrior Serum has attracted the attention of the military. They want to make more powerful soldiers. I've repeatedly said that this thing is dangerous, but they still started experimenting with it." Charlie blamed himself.
"I don't know how many people I'm going to harm."
Susan stepped forward to hug Charlie and said gently. "Honey, you're not entirely to blame. Even if you don't study it, the military will let someone else do it. At least you have a backup plan. If other scientists who are obedient to the military are allowed to study that thing, I'm afraid the consequences will be unpredictable. "
"We can't change the minds of those madmen who are full of war. We can only work harder to make the world a better place ourselves."
"Thank you, Susan. That's why I accepted Stark's help. He's willing to invest 50 million dollars in us and lend us Stark Industries' latest spacecraft, the Ark. "With Susan's comfort, Charlie looked a little more comfortable.
"All we have to do is help him build a research base on the surface of the moon, help him mine helium-3, and do related research on the moon," Charlie stated Tony's conditions.
"We also have to share some of our research. We don't need all the results of our research. "
"Do you really trust him? He used to be an arms dealer. Many people died under the weapons he produced. "Susan was still prejudiced against Tony.
"At least I believe he's changed now. Don't you see that Iron Man is saving the world now?" Charlie tried to convince his fiancée.
"Iron Man, hmph. A megalomaniac. Don't we have a better choice? I remember that Dum also called and said that he's willing to sponsor you. "The Dum that Susan mentioned was an old classmate of Charlie's.
"Dum? No, Dum is crazy now. Latveria has now become his personal kingdom. "Charlize frowned as he spoke.
"Now the entire country is under his control. Cooperating with him is a huge risk. The leaders of free countries won't like him." Charlie's eyebrows were scrunched together.
"But it took him at least ten years to unify Latvia. Before Dum's rule, the whole country was in chaos. The people didn't even have food to eat, and they had to worry about flying cannonballs taking their lives every day. At least Dum didn't make things worse. At least Latvia is developing in a good direction. "
It seemed like Susan still thought that Dum did a good job. Even if it was a country where one's word was the law, at least Latvia, this small country in Eastern Europe was out of the chaos of war.
"I understand that Doom isn't as bad as the liberal media has made him out to be, but sometimes we have to compromise with power. Right now, we don't have the ability to rebel against the most powerful institution in society." Charlie understood that Susan was right.
"And what I'm really worried about isn't the influence that Dum will have on us as the leader of the Kingdom of Latvia. I'm worried about Dum's thoughts. He's really crazy. He's delusional about resurrecting his mother. She's been dead for decades. "
Charlie's words made Susan cover her mouth in surprise. "He firmly believes that he has the ability to resurrect his mother. That's too crazy. I can't accept such a crazy idea. So, let's just accept Stark's help with peace of mind. "
"At least he didn't ask us to help him build weapons, nor did he ask us to help him resurrect his parents."
"Stark Industries' Ark spacecraft will be launched on April 1st." The news report on the TV caught Li Jie's attention.
It seemed that Tony Stark had really started preparing for the development of the moon. This was a big step for Tony Stark, and a big step for human civilization.
Perhaps the time for human civilization to take off wasn't far away. If the era of technological explosion arrived, and the Battle of New York was really fought by the Zetari, then perhaps the human army would be able to fight them. Perhaps there wouldn't even be a need for superheroes.
However, Li Jie felt like he had heard the names of the four astronauts on the spacecraft somewhere before.
Was it an illusion? It had to be an illusion. There should be a lot of people with the same name. Li Jie felt that he must have remembered incorrectly.
Tony Stark was going to open a new chapter in human civilization, so he should help out too. For example, find the villain called Mourning Whip or something.
