Capítulo 19: 19: Hammer Industries Expo Begins
Inside the secret research base of Hammer Industries...
"What on earth is Tony Stark up to?"
Justin Hammer also saw the online frenzy, but unlike Nick Fury, he was not puzzled. Instead, he was delighted.
"I don't know what's happening, but Tony Stark's current state is really... great!"
With a light and cheerful step, Justin Hammer couldn't help but pour himself a glass of fine wine to celebrate.
It's quite interesting that despite being a competitor, he has always looked down on Tony Stark. In his eyes, Tony is just a rich playboy.
Sure, Tony had the luck to tinker with the epoch-making technological weapon like the Iron Man armor, but he never thought of using it to make money. Instead, he wore it to fight crime everywhere and even wanted to give up Stark Industries' core arms business to focus on new energy...
Is he out of his mind? He's an arms dealer! Thinking about saving the world all the time?
Every time Justin Hammer thought about these things, he felt an immense satisfaction. He had no doubt that if things continued at this pace, Tony would defeat the country that Howard Stark had conquered in no time. This was undoubtedly a great joy for Hammer Industries.
Recently, Tony had caused embarrassment at the hearing and had a falling out with Colonel Rhodes, which severely damaged his relationship with the military...
In a fit of rage, the military canceled all orders from Stark Industries and instead turned to Hammer Industries for their purchases. This meant huge profits for Hammer Industries!
"Keep it up, Tony. When I hold the Iron Soldier press conference, the whole world will see that Hammer Industries' weapon technology far surpasses that of Stark Industries. I, Justin Hammer, will be the true king of the arms industry, and you, Tony Stark, will be nothing but a clown."
After finishing his glass of red wine, Justin Hammer gazed at Ivan Vanko, who was focused on assembling armor at the console.
Tony, you probably never imagined... that I found someone who also possesses the technology of the Arc Reactor. With his skills, the Iron Soldier project will be a resounding success. Just wait and see.
It may have been a coincidence, but Ivan Vanko seemed to sense it without even looking up when Justin's gaze fell on him. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Soon... the time for revenge is near!
...
Time passed.
On this day, Lynn woke up from the luxurious bed, his mind filled with new magic.
[Five Ring Magic - Early Warning]
"A constantly active magic?"
Lynn was slightly surprised. This magic was quite interesting. During its duration, it automatically provided warnings when danger was near, creating a "heartbeat sensation."
In the past, a racing heartbeat was just a figure of speech. But now, it became real. And the most important thing was that this magic could be constantly active within himself, essentially becoming a passive skill!
"A magic version of Spider-Sense?"
Lynn smiled and immediately chose the constant option. Today was going to be a good day.
As expected, when he brought out two plates of delicious shredded pork and egg fried rice from the kitchen, Kitty and Jubilee, drawn by the mouthwatering aroma, rushed over, bringing the first piece of good news.
Don't ask why there was a large bed and a kitchen on the top floor of Stark Tower. In the face of magic, those were minor details.
"Lynn, after our recent discussions, we think we can upgrade Alice"
Jubilee grabbed a bite of the egg fried rice, took a moment to savor the flavors, and exclaimed, "I'm used to the food here, but after trying the dishes you made, I realized that when it comes tofood, it's all about our homeland!"
Kitty also grabbed a plate and nodded in agreement while eating. "I still don't understand how ordinary rice can taste so good when you add some ingredients and stir-fry it."
"Are you two reincarnated food lovers?"
Lynn scolded with a smile and went back to the kitchen to prepare another bowl.
While they were eating, Tony emerged from the operations lab.
"Lynn, the brand-new Arc Reactor is ready!"
His face was exhausted, but his eyes gleamed with excitement. He held an inverted triangle-shaped reactor in his hand, emitting a warm white light.
Before he could finish speaking, he noticed the sudden changes in his office.
Not only were there additional beds, but there were also many kitchen utensils?
"What..."
Tony was stunned. "My office is spacious enough to accommodate a few beds, but do you really need a kitchen here? Can't you just ask Jarvis to prepare whatever you want to eat?"
"Eating to fill your stomach is one thing, but enjoying the process of cooking is another."
Lynn shook his head with a smile and handed the plate of egg fried rice to Tony.
Even after ten years, he still couldn't get used to the cuisine in this foreign land. During his time at the Xavier Institute, he often cooked with Kitty and Jubilee. Exchanging knowledge like this, cooking and eating when they were hungry, and sleeping when they were tired. Well, it was all part of their serious knowledge exchange.
Tony took the plate in a daze and immediately caught a whiff of an indescribable aroma, causing his stomach to growl with hunger.
"It smells amazing!"
The reactor, which he had considered a treasure just moments ago, was casually placed on the table.
After taking a bite, Tony, who had stayed up for several consecutive nights, felt his fatigue dissipating. "Lynn, what is this? Why is it so delicious? Did you use magic to cook it?"
"Cooking is a form of magic."
Lynn smiled and filled another bowl for himself.
With a snap of his fingers, the extra beds and kitchen utensils in the room levitated in the air and landed neatly in a corner box.
Tony stared wide-eyed. "How can something so big..."
"Magic encompasses more than just fighting, Tony."
Kitty, who had already devoured the egg fried rice, approached him and patted him on the shoulder. "As your partners, you should gradually get used to Lynn's magic."
She picked up the reactor from the table.
"The brand-new Arc Reactor rotates faster than before, and it can provide hundreds of times more energy, reaching a maximum of eight gigajoules per second."
Tony spoke between mouthfuls. Kitty and Jubilee were both astounded.
Eight gigajoules of energy per second... This was no longer a simple matter. It was said to surpass current human technology by at least a hundred years.
And the size of the Arc Reactor? If they randomly installed ten or more of them, the amount of energy they could generate would be astronomical!
"No wonder Lynn wants to use it as the power source for the 'Oasis' world. It's incredibly efficient!"
They marveled in awe...
Lynn had anticipated their reaction, but he wasn't surprised. "In that case, I'll leave the construction of the 'Oasis' energy tower to you."
"No problem!"
Tony buried his head in the rice. "Once I upgrade the Iron Suit with the new reactor, I'll start building it..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Jarvis's voice suddenly echoed in the office.
"Mr. Stark, Justin Hammer sent an invitation letter, inviting you to attend the Hammer Industries Expo..."
"Notinterested!"
Tony showed no interest and declined without hesitation.
Lynn's eyes lit up. It truly was a day full of good news.
"Tony, since you're not interested, how about letting us have some fun?"
"By the way, can you request for more invitations?"
