The purpose of the Stark Science and Technology Expo was to promote scientific progress in the world, and it was very orthodox in its concept. To be precise, the reason why Tony Stark's brilliant father, Howard Stark, established this expo was out of a sense of responsibility for human civilization.
He hoped to use this way to connect the smartest people in the world. When human civilization faced a threat in the future, they would be able to erupt with enough power to save the world.
From this point alone, Saber was sure that Howard Stark must know a lot of secrets that Tony didn't know. Maybe the scientist and pioneer who died young was also a member of this bizarre and magical world.
However, the science and technology exhibition in front of him more or less violated Howard's original idea. Rich laboratories could book the entire exhibition hall and use a short video to package and introduce their products in all aspects to attract spendthrifts. Poor scientists could only display their painstaking research results in the large exhibition areas in the periphery, like jewellers.
However, they were actually doing pretty well. The lower-level civilian scientists were even worse off. They were crowded in the open-air exhibition area, squeezed together with the vendors selling snacks, and used all kinds of specious theories to promote the clumsy handmade "technological" gadgets.
Compared to scientists, they were more like craftsmen.
But this was only the world in Saber's eyes. In the eyes of others, especially those who could see through the surface of things, this science and technology exhibition was amazing.
"It's hard to believe that Mr. Howard proposed this idea 20 years ago."
Peter Parker, who had changed into casual clothes, shook his head as he followed Saber. He was like a younger brother following his elder brother out to see the world. He turned his head to look at everything around him from time to time. The exhibition was now overcrowded, but Parker was not concerned about these tourists from all over the world. He was sighing with emotion in another aspect.
"In terms of the creativity of the park alone, this design concept won't be out of date even 10 years later," Little Spider said with emotion.
Little Spider sighed in the manner of a scientific researcher. "As expected of someone who is 50 years ahead of the world."
Saber simply looked at the bustling scene around him and said casually,
"But now that he's dead, other than you and a few others, the rest of the people here will only be in awe of Tony's genius. Parker, you see, this is the sad part of human life. No matter how great they were when they were alive, they're nothing when they're dead."
"They only know how to live in the present."
Saber shook his head and looked at the ticket in his hand. He then raised his head to look at the cinema-like building beside him. He patted Parker on the shoulder.
"We're here!"
The two walked towards the exhibition area of Hammer Industries. When they entered, they were stopped by the guards who were obviously military-style. Compared to the other visitors who were well-dressed and wearing military uniforms, Saber and Parker's clothing style was obviously not in line with the exhibition area held in the name of the Ministry of Defense.
However, after Seiber took out his VIP ticket, they were allowed to enter. They were led to a private room with a good view, and there was no face-slapping or pretentious scene that people liked to see.
Saber sat comfortably on the luxurious sofa, took out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet next to him, and gulped down two mouthfuls.
"Then let's see what Hydra's upstart, Mr. Hammer, is going to do this time."
Five minutes later, the exhibition hall, which was already full of people, was filled with gentle music. At the same time, all the lights on the futuristic platform suddenly went out, plunging the whole exhibition hall into darkness. But this was just the prelude.
The next moment, the music became extremely cool, and the lights were turned on again, like the soothing flashing lights of a swaying entertainment venue. After a chaotic flurry of lights, they finally converged in the center of the platform. There, the host of the exhibition hall tonight, the big boss of Hammer Industries, Justin Hammer, stood on the lift and made a grand entrance amidst a round of polite applause.
This guy and Tony Stark were rivals in the truest sense of the word. They were about the same age and had both been known as geniuses when they were teenagers. It just so happened that their family businesses interacted a lot. Both of them could be called female killers in terms of appearance. Both of them were also eternal kings of the tabloids.
This created a competitive relationship between them like Mars colliding with Earth. However, unlike Stark Industries, which focused more on products, Hammer Industries emphasized its products as "consumables". It was a completely different business strategy. But one could not deny that Hammer Industries' move was actually very clever, and it could capture the mentality of the rich.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Hammer Industries' weapons fair on a night that is nothing special. You might ask me if I'm crazy to come here to look at boring killing machines."
Justin Hammer, who had dressed up meticulously, wore elegant black-rimmed glasses. His hair was neatly combed, and he wore a plaid formal suit. This guy was obviously a master of emotional manipulation. With a few words, he attracted everyone's attention to him. He deliberately kept them in suspense and waited for two seconds before continuing, "Mr. Hammer, I'm not sure what to do.
"Of course, I can't guarantee that the creative weapons I'm about to exhibit will satisfy everyone, but I can guarantee that when beautiful ladies have such an iron bodyguard, you can even boldly cross the Middle East Theater of Operations without worry … I'm not kidding!"
He winked at a beautiful lady sitting in the front row, then spread out his hands.
"Life is short and time is precious, so let's get straight to the point! Today's weapon introduction … Hammer War Weapon Series, and … Hammer Home Security Weapon Series! "
The background music instantly became impassioned. Accompanied by the music, four large elevators rose at the same time. There were five elevators in each square, and a total of 20 futuristic war machines filled with sci-fi style.
The appearance of these mighty looking robots immediately caused waves of exclamations. Some of the excited soldiers even stood up, wanting to see more clearly.
But when Saber saw the mechs, his eyes became strange.
"This is … Ten Ring Gang's armor. They're also involved!"
Little Spider, who was standing beside him, was even more excited. The young man clenched his fist and cursed.
"Shameless plagiarism! This is clearly Mr. Tony's idea … Even the reserved weapon port is exactly the same! It's just a more intimidating shell! Hammer is a despicable man! "
But not everyone could see the truth at a glance like Saber and Parker. Most of the people in the exhibition hall were still immersed in the appearance of this war machine that was obviously beyond the current level of technology.
Justin Hammer enjoyed the thunderous applause from the audience. He proudly stretched out his hands and said in a louder voice, "There's a better solution.
"There's clearly a more convenient way to solve the problem. Why do we still let our precious soldiers bleed and sacrifice on the battlefield? Everyone knows that recently, there's a guy who calls himself Iron Man flying around our city. Until now, we still don't know who he is. It's a good thing that he has the power to solve crimes!"
"But he's selfish and unwilling to share this technology that can obviously enhance the strength of our country with our government … Hammer Industries is a company with a conscience. We know our responsibility to this country! So today, I'll take out Hammer's war machine. We're happy to hand over such excellent war machines to our country! "
Hammer said in a very emotional voice:
"I can use them to make more money, but I love my country more … The cost of a Jericho missile can be exchanged for two Hammer war machines. We'll use our actions to prove that Hammer Industries is the most reliable steel pillar of this country!"
"Clap clap clap"
The audience immediately applauded even more enthusiastically, making Justin Hammer smile even more. However, Parker, who was sitting in the private room, frowned.
"No! The cost is unreasonable! "
"Hmm?"
Saber turned to look at Little Spider, who explained to Saber:
"No matter how simple the materials are, the cost of such a war machine can't be less than 5 million US dollars, but Hammer said that they only cost 2.5 million US dollars or even less. This means that even at this price, he still has an objective profit. Other than Hammer going crazy, there's only one possibility …"
Parker pursed his lips.
"Hammer Industries is likely to have mastered the ability to mass produce such advanced mecha, but this is obviously unrealistic. Only Mr. Tony has the technology …"
"No! It's not just Tony! "
Saber shook his head. "Another force has it too. It seems that Tony's information this time is not very accurate. While Hammer is Hydra, he's very likely to be working with the Ten Rings Gang. And from what you said, it's very likely that they have reached some kind of deep cooperation."
The leader of The Devil Gang stretched out his hands and rested his head on them.
"Tony is in trouble … The Ten Rings Gang is obviously targeting him this time!"
"Click click"
Just as Saber's voice fell, a strange change occurred on the scene. The energy indicator lights on the chests of the mecha that were supposed to be on display suddenly lit up. When the first mecha painted in green took its first step, Hammer, who was giving an impassioned speech, was also stunned.
He turned his head stiffly and saw the red light in the anthropomorphic round helmet of the mecha shift and finally fall on him.
"What are you doing!"
Hammer turned to the mecha and shouted, "Make it go back! You'll scare the poor beauties. That's enough for the demonstration. "
It was obvious that Hammer was still trying his best to hide the situation that was starting to get out of control, but Saber had already stood up in the box. He stretched his arms and said to Parker, who was wearing a helmet beside him, "The situation is clear now.
"Now that the situation is clear, Hammer is just a scapegoat... Even though I don't know what the Ten Abstinences Gang is up to this time, I'm more than happy to help them clean up their 'trash'. You can handle the troublesome task of saving people, right?"
Parker made an OK gesture at him and jumped out of the box. At the same time, the activated mecha stood in front of Hammer. It raised its left arm and the barrel of the Vulcan machine gun on the side began to spin rapidly.
Hammer's eyes widened at this moment! He could smell … the scent of death. It was like a wave of the wind.
On the other side, in a secret stronghold in New York, a group of people with obvious European and Asian features were also panicking. They were communicating with each other in Arabic, and their voices were very agitated.
"Team One's mecha is out of control! Our pilot can't control it anymore! "
"Bastard! Then start the return program and let them come back! "
"It can't be started! Someone has locked our system from the inside, and they even found Seiber Hawke at the scene! Initial estimates are that it's Tony Stark! Only he has the ability to break through five layers of firewalls and take control of all the mecha! "
"D * mn it!"
The leader of the stronghold was about to give a new order when the external monitoring screen on the other side suddenly blurred and then disappeared. The leader, Big Beard, was shocked and quickly shook his hand.
"Someone has infiltrated! Abandon this stronghold and retreat to Hammer. Then report to the leader that Iron Man and his companions have sabotaged the Ten Rings Gang's operation again. They must be punished! "
