The official opening ceremony of the Stark Industry Expo will be held tonight at 7 o'clock, accompanied by a large performance. It is now five o'clock in the afternoon, which is the peak admission period. All kinds of people and cars are turning this place into a noisy sea.
The temperature in New York in May is not very high. It is only 11 degrees at night, which is a bit cool. But the atmosphere near the venue became as fiery as a furnace. The further you walk toward the performance venue on the side of the venue, the hotter the air becomes. The people walking around were no longer dominated by adults as before, but were instead groups of young people laughing and laughing, converging on the performance venue. It was more like a concert than the opening of an expo.
Everyone knows that Tony Stark is by no means the kind of person who follows the rules. Wherever he is, there will definitely be fun. Those young people came here for tonight's performance. Moreover, the guest performers for the opening ceremony have already been announced, they are definitely big names!
Many current affairs commentators are making fun of why the opening ceremony of an expo focusing on high-tech would have a star lineup comparable to Hollywood to support it? You must know that those so-called celebrities cannot understand what technology is at all. The most they can do is play with their mobile phones and computers. Most of them can't even make photos, so they all need assistants. They know a lot about high technology.
But I can’t help but ordinary people like it.
And Stark Group has money! What is the most distinctive feature of Stark Group? The first reaction of most people is not high technology or weapons, but money. This characteristic has become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people under the strong endorsement of a certain young man for more than ten years. No one doubts this. In fact, many thoughtful people sometimes suspect that this is a publicity strategy of Tony Stark. After all, when the concept of Stark having money is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, everyone naturally feels that the Stark Group has strong capital.
This impression is important because the thing itself represents wealth. This is why Stark Group's shares have remained high.
And this big show of the Stark Group is purely... a certain young man is happy. Top singers, top dance troupes, top magicians, top acrobatic troupes have it all. The young master would never hire a performer who was lower than a top-notch performer because he couldn't afford to lose that person. This is a super carnival created by the Stark Group.
It is definitely more attractive than the one in Chicago. It is no wonder that the broadcast rights and live broadcast rights of the opening ceremony were sold for hundreds of millions.
Starting at 6:30 in the evening, the warm-up has begun.
The dynamic DJ electronic music made the scene feel like a music festival. Many girls were wearing thick jackets and other coats already tied around their waists, revealing large areas of bright, wheat-colored, dark skin, blending in with the hot evening.
At seven o'clock in the evening!
The stage went silent!
The lights were turned off, and even the lights in the venue were turned off. Only the mobile phones in the hands of the audience formed a patch of starlight!
At first, tens of thousands of people at the scene were silent because of this, but soon the audience thought that the opening ceremony was about to officially begin!
Then everyone started cheering!
Then a 'shooting star' suddenly appeared in the sky!
The call for transformation is even more enthusiastic!
That's Iron Man! ! !
As the cheers reached their climax, the stage lights suddenly turned on, and dynamic music also sounded.
On the stage, a row of more than thirty beauties in tight costumes began to dance the cancan to the music!
It's the kind of dance where you hold your skirt and kick your legs!
The hot figure and the crime-provoking costumes immediately made the scene feel like a throwback to the decadent lives of Broadway or Moulin Rouge in the 1960s and 1970s!
The scene exploded immediately!
Countless people started shouting crazily, and they didn't even know what they were shouting. Anyway, the atmosphere was here, so just shout!
Then Iron Man appeared above the venue!
At this moment, the girls who were dancing suddenly took off their clothes! The red and gold clothes were revealed, which were not much more cloth than a bikini. At the same time, there was a round LED light in the huge chest!
They are cosplaying Iron Man!
Sexy, sex-changed version!
It was also at this time that Tony landed on the circular platform in front of the stage with a bang. Then the platform began to deform, and one mechanical arm stretched out to help Tony take off the steel armor.
"Tony Tony Tony!!!"
"Iron Man! Iron Man!!!"
"I love you, Tony!!!"
Immediately there were loud cheers 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 sinister face who didn't look like a good guy was watching the live broadcast on a small TV with a toothpick in his mouth.
"Ivan Vanke! Have you finished the final debugging? Tomorrow is the time for us to make our debut!"
A man who looked handsome but always had a bit of a wretched 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 micro-arc reactors and power suits on his own. Although both he and his father can be called geniuses, their situation is completely different from that of Stark and his son.
Anton Vanke had never been trusted by the Soviet Union because he had joined the United States and even worked within SHIELD. Ever since he left SHIELD and returned to the Soviet Union, he had been under surveillance. The Soviet Union did not trust this traitor at all. Even when the Soviet Union collapsed, Russia did not trust him.
It is also because of this reason that Vanke and his son have been poor all their lives. Ivan was even unable to go to college because of his bad political background. He was obviously a genius, but he could only work as a mechanic in a car repair shop...and his father died of poverty and illness.
The father and son blame Howard Stark for all their misery.
Ivan is jealous of Tony, very jealous!
He was unhappy because his situation was so different from Tony's! He wants to prove that he is better than Tony! He wants to prove that the Starks are both liars and thieves!
"Ivan!!!"
That wretched man is Justin Hammer, chairman and chief scientist of Hammer Industries. This guy is an academic hooligan. In fact, he still has some skills, but he has to compete with someone. He is at best a good scientist, but not top-notch among ordinary people.
But he likes to learn from Tony Stark and build himself into a technology tycoon like Stark. Even Tony's playboy ways have to be imitated.
It's a pity that he painted a tiger instead of a dog. In the eyes of many people, he is a clown.
No one likes him, except those in the military.
Of course, those people who liked him just used him as a white glove. Do you really think the military is stupid? Even though I know that Hammer Industrial's products are inferior, I still choose another company. Anyone with a little understanding of how many conflicts of interest there are can imagine.
After all, it’s the country’s money that’s being spent, and of course those people don’t care.
I don’t know if he was just pretending, was too involved, and got caught up in the drama, but he actually believed that he was the second Tony Stark. So his arrogance is actually 100% imitated. He couldn't stand Ivan, because the way Ivan looked at him was the same as the way Tony looked at him!
It's like looking at an insect! Han Mo felt that he had been insulted and said to Anton Vanke with a cold face: "You have to show some respect to me. You must have asked me to 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 with an ugly smile, stared at Stark on the TV and said: "Hello, Mr. Stark, we are about to have the third round of competition. !”
After finishing speaking, he said with a look of disgust: "Only the finishing work is left, there will definitely be a big show tomorrow!"
"Yeah, that's good! That's good!" He said with a sinister look in his eyes, he wanted to get all the praise! Then...this Russian guy...doesn't need to show up!
He waved his hand, and several security guards with electric batons walked towards Ivan.
Ivan, on the other hand, looked at the security guards vaguely surrounding him with an indifferent expression.
He also smiled as if his conspiracy had been successful!
…
The opening ceremony was a success. There was no urination during the three-hour opening ceremony. All of a sudden, the popularity of the expo will increase again!
At the same time, Hammer Group also took advantage of this popularity and began to promote its own press conference!
Iron Warriors!
A targeted mechanical corps specially built for the military!
And unlike Tony who needs a human to drive, the Iron Warriors are all driverless, and the driver only needs to stay in the safe rear to control!
According to the Hammer Group, this is an epoch-making invention. What followed was a series of clips and trailers, which whetted everyone's appetite.
This made many people excited about the Hammer Group press conference.
The next day, 7pm.
The Hammer Group's press conference started on time.
Kai was also invited over, but he didn't want to come. But I don’t know what Justin Hammer was thinking. He found many connections, hoping that Kai could come to visit, and offered Kai an irresistible price, a donation of 30 million! Ten million of it was earmarked for the 15th Precinct.
Thirty million... Kai didn't know his appearance fee would be so expensive.
Later, after asking Natalie about it, I found out that the problem still lies with Kai. After all, Kai is famous because of the "Iron Patriot". The Hammer Group is willing to pay such a price to find him, but it actually wants Kai to support the Iron Warriors, so that it can suppress the Stark Group.
If only Tony, the only person in the world who has ever operated a steel suit, came forward to speak out...
Anyway, don’t think others are stupid!
Thirty million, anyway, every big company makes this kind of donation every year. It is not a donation to anyone, but it is still a profit in exchange for the support of a figure like Kai.
Just like that, Kai arrived.
30 million, even if Kai doesn't want to come, all the police officers want him to come.
After all, it is related to their welfare.
"What is this guy doing? Is he addicted to copycats??" Kai didn't even look at Justin Hammer as he danced awkwardly and uncoordinatedly on stage surrounded by a group of beauties. It completely replicated Tony's opening yesterday, but it wasn't as cool as Tony. It always felt like a joke.
Kai didn't quite understand what Dongshi Xiaoqian meant before, but he probably understands it now. A living interpretation!
"He's always been like this..." Pepper, standing next to Kai, said helplessly. She knew the grudge between Hammer and Tony best. Hammer... was really annoying. Even a gentle person like Pepper can't stand this kind of guy.
Kai turned to Natalie on the other side of him: "Aren't you from the legal department? Why don't you sue him?"
When the expo is held, Tony actually helps when he is not causing trouble. He always behaves according to his own temperament, which inadvertently brings a lot of unnecessary workload and chaos to the expo. This time, Pepper didn't let him interfere. After all, the lessons from the opening ceremony were still fresh in his mind.
At a normal exhibition, Pepper would not be present in person, but Hammer Group... This was related to Stark Group's own interests, so she had to come!
Natalie curled her lips: "This guy is a gangster... The reason why he is famous is because he cheated on Tony. He is not afraid of being accused at all. On the contrary, the more you sue him, the happier he will be."
The Hammer Group does not have as glorious a history as the Stark Group. It has not been established for a long time. In order to stand out, Justin Hammer has tried every means, and the simplest way is to use porcelain and hype. He relies on this to build himself into a strong rival of Tony.
Suddenly he raised his level of authority.
But in fact, Tony has always regarded him as a clown.
This guy is very passionate about sex.
"Tsk..." Kai had a sense of déjà vu when he saw Huayu and Gongzhi.
Why can't I be disgusted wherever I go?
While they were chatting, Hammer had already begun to introduce his product. He originally planned to talk a little bit more about it, but unfortunately... no one wanted to see where he was talking.
So I can only provide dry goods.
The first phase of Iron Warriors has three models, corresponding to sea, land and air.
Compared with Tony's steel mecha, Iron Man Warrior is bulkier and larger, and because it is still an old model of palladium reactor, the energy supply is not as powerful as Tony's newly developed new element reactor, so many ion beam weapons have been reduced and live ammunition weapons have been used. For example, adding Vulcan cannons and shoulder cannons. In order to increase combat endurance, the body needs to store more ammunition, so the size can only be increased.
At the same time, because Tony's new magnetic ion thruster cannot be cracked (this device will apply a magnetic field to cause plasma particles to be ejected from the rear of the rocket, pushing the aircraft forward due to the conservation of momentum), the Iron Warrior's flight system can only use a more backward pulse To detonate the engine, liquid fuel is also needed, which in turn requires the body to make room for the fuel.
Therefore, the body of the Iron Warrior looks 0.5 times larger than the Iron Mecha.
But in terms of appearance, it looks pretty good, more in line with Kai's aesthetic, tall and majestic, and looks strong.
But in fact, the armor of this mass-produced thing is actually quite average. The attack method and flight endurance are very poor.
But there is an advantage, that is, it is cheap!
And it looks pretty good, and the people below also think it’s good.
But just when Hammer introduced it passionately, suddenly all the Iron Warriors were activated!
Hammer didn't understand what was going on at all. He looked behind him and found that all the staff controlling the Iron Warriors backstage were panicking, because they didn't turn it on!
Kai was not far from them.
Look at their situation...are they about to overturn?
But Kai immediately knew that this was more than just a car rollover!
Suddenly, several naval steel warriors suddenly raised their arms and aimed their hand cannons at Pepper, who was watching the show! ! !
boom!
"Fake!!" Kai immediately rushed forward to hold Pepper and Natalie in his arms, and at the same time began to transform, summoning the Destroyer Armor! Block the attack with your back!
