Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#464 - Hierarchy issues

I stayed in front of the Stark Tower until about seven o'clock.

It wasn't until the Hammer Industries product launch officially began on television, and Justin Hammer, the president of the military-industrial enterprise, stepped onto the stage with small steps.

Only then did Stark signal to Liang Yue, and then he put on his new steel armor and rushed to the launch site first.

Liang Yue, on the other hand, directly drew a circle in the air and cast an invisibility spell on himself, then leisurely walked to the second floor of the launch site, watching the performance below with interest.

Scanning the audience below, he quickly spotted a few familiar figures.

At this time, Rhodes was wearing a brand-new set of steel armor, just like Captain America a few days ago. The outer coating of this armor was sprayed into the style of the American flag.

It's just that Colonel Rhodes inside seemed a little uncomfortable, and his black face seemed to become even darker under the reflection of the stage lights.

However, his appearance once again detonated the atmosphere of the scene, and the participants in the audience cheered and applauded enthusiastically.

Undoubtedly, as a backbone figure among the young and middle-aged officers of the military, Rhodes' appearance was naturally interpreted as the military's support for Hammer Group.

Thinking about those remote-controlled unmanned combat robots on the stage that looked very good, people couldn't help but extend their thinking to Stark, who had been flying around in steel armor all day long recently.

From this, the audience can naturally draw a conclusion: the technology and military strength displayed by Hammer Group seems to be on par with Stark Industries!

In short, this is what this press conference wants to explain to the audience~

Liang Yue couldn't help but feel a toothache at this marketing model that could be called a touch of porcelain. He couldn't help but grin and couldn't help but laugh.

Because knowing the plot already, Liang Yue naturally knew that Justin Hammer in front of him didn't actually know that the robots on the stage could really move.

Originally, he thought they were just models.

They could only be placed on the stage to make a show, and at most they would just salute the audience.

In Justin Hammer's mind, the real thing that could be used to win people's trust was Colonel Rhodes, who was stubbornly invited to stand on the platform.

Fortunately, he worked so hard to perform and attract the audience's attention to cover up the emptiness in his heart.

In fact, Justin was tricked by Ivan Vanko behind him. Those on stage were all real guys, and he was just treated as a clown and became the one who was fooled~

However, as the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole lurking behind!

At this moment, Justin Hammer looked at the enthusiastic performance of the audience, and perhaps he already felt that he had a chance to win, fooling those people, and the other party had to sing praises for him.

So, Justin felt that he should be proud, and his current level was obviously higher than others!

Similarly, Ivan Vanko behind him tricked Justin again, making him a clown to attract firepower and take the blame.

If Justin Hammer was on the second level, then Ivan Vanko was on the third level.

Unfortunately, what the Russian rough man didn't know was that his every move was being carried out under the gaze of some people.

Liang Yue can also be regarded as one of these people, but with the director's script in hand, he must be at the level of five, six, seven, or eight…

Although Liang Yue didn't care about the various reasons here, those remote-controlled robots in front of him were something he was determined to get.

Other things, such as~ entrusted by Stark to protect Ms. Potts' safety.

He doesn't actually need to do this himself, because at this time, around Potts, within a range of more than ten meters, Xiao Zhao, Yang Buhui, Nan Lixiang, and Nana had already quietly lurked there.

At this moment, they were wearing disguises created by transformation techniques, posing as well-dressed audiences, vaguely isolating the corners where danger might occur.

As for the others, including Teacher Shizuka and Senior Sister Saeko, they all pretended to be security guards and staff on the scene, wearing neat suits and security uniforms, standing on both sides of the stage.

It seems that they plan to grab the remote-controlled robots on the stage and run away as soon as something happens…

Undoubtedly, these remote-controlled robots themselves are new combat equipment created by Ivan Vanko based on the Ark reactor.

They are in the same vein as Tony Stark's steel armor, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

For Liang Yue, who is carrying a system mission, it naturally has considerable reference value.

"How is it, Xiao Wu, what can you research from those things?"

Subconsciously looking up at the sky at this time, through the painted glass above, Liang Yue could already see a figure approaching rapidly under the propulsion of orange-blue flames.

Needless to say, that must be Tony Stark who is rushing over aggressively!

"Report Master! Preliminary judgment, in addition to more advanced remote-controlled combat robots, according to the current technological accumulation, Xiao Wu should already be able to develop some relatively primary aircraft!"

"Oh? Aircraft? Can it travel in space?"

Liang Yue asked in surprise when he heard this.

"Not yet, but if it's just flying between the Earth and the Moon, it shouldn't be a big problem!"

"Hiss, this span is not small~"

"Actually, as long as the energy problem is solved, everything else can be solved easily. For example, on the previous armed helicopter, Xiao Wu has obtained a primary power propulsion device.

Through the public information and paid papers on the Internet, Xiao Wu also found more advanced vector engines and part of the technical data of electric thrusters.

From that gravity wave skateboard, Xiao Wu has researched a metal alloy material that is more suitable for survival in outer space. If you add the operating system of these remote-controlled robots in front of you.

Xiao Wu believes that we should be able to take a big step towards solving the problem of interstellar travel!"

"Well… this is not urgent, you just continue to study according to your own ideas, but in addition to this, can we also get something else first?

For example, aerial vehicles such as aerial cars and trains that can run in the middle and low altitudes within the Earth's atmosphere are more closely related to people's livelihood.

It's also a great thing for our mission!"

"Understood~ Master! Xiao Wu guarantees to complete the task!"

"You can also combine technologies such as graphene to develop some super batteries, preferably without exposing the Ark reactor."

"Okay, Master!"

…

While speaking, the figure in the air had already fallen from a distance, with a momentum of a thousand pounds, and directly "thumped" on the specially treated stage below!

This sudden change immediately surprised the audience at the scene, and the originally enthusiastic atmosphere was quiet for a moment.

But when they saw the figure of the person who came and the familiar face after the helmet was opened, the audience suddenly cheered again.

Almost unanimously, they stood up from their seats, raised their hands, and shouted for Tony Stark on the stage.
