In the villa, the Fantastic Four were sitting around on the sofa, staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
On the side, Wu Ming drank the juice nonchalantly. He knew that suddenly changing from an ordinary person to an extraordinary being requires an adaptation process.
As long as you adapt to your new identity, except for Ben, who became a monster, others will gain far more than you pay. This is a good thing that will make you laugh out of your dreams.
"Invisibility, flame, rubber, stone..."
Reed patted his forehead with his right hand and said seriously: "What I'm most worried about now is whether our ability has side effects and whether it will get worse."
"How much worse can it be, now that I'm like this?"
After Ben turned into a stone man, he weighed more than a ton. He couldn't sit on the sofa because of his weight, so he could only sit cross-legged on the floor and complained: "Why are you all fine and only I become a monster? This is not fair!"
Hearing this, Wu Ming took out his mobile phone and showed him what the gold cake looked like.
In the photo, the gold cake is just a piece of metal, which looks just like a stone man.
The stone man was so surprised that he pointed at the golden cake in the picture and asked, "Who is this monster?"
Jinbing is an iron monster, originally a stone monster, no matter how you look at it, it looks the same.
Wu Ming looked at the stone man funny, handed the phone to the others, and then said: "This is a gold cake. He is just like you now and can no longer be considered a human being. It's just that you are a stone and he is a metal. How much?
There are some differences.”
The Man of Steel transformed from the golden cake has similar abilities to the Stone Man, with infinite strength and super defense.
However, the gold cake is even more powerful than the stone man. After all, one is made of granite and the other is steel. The strength and density of the latter are obviously higher than that of the former.
"Poor Jincake!" Susan said while secretly rejoicing that she was not the one who became like this.
Compared with the stone man and the steel man, the invisibility and energy control are undoubtedly white, rich and beautiful attributes, which are very suitable for the identity of the goddess Susan.
She simply couldn't imagine how devastated she would be if she became like this. She might not even dare to leave the door.
"The five of us plus Jin Bi, six of the seven people who encountered the cosmic storm, have mutated. So the question is, has Victor also mutated? What has he become?"
Reed didn't care about the gold cake, but thought about Victor.
Everyone has encountered a cosmic storm. There is no reason for six people to mutate and the remaining one to be safe and sound.
But until now, Victor has not called, which makes Reed wonder if Victor is worse.
"Susan, call Victor and see how he is doing."
Although he didn't like Victor, Reed still didn't forget him.
Susan made an OK gesture, took out her phone and dialed Victor, only to hear busy signals coming from the phone.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unanswered. Please call again later."
"Sorry, the user is busy, please call again later..."
I called Victor several times, but no one answered.
Everyone present looked at each other, guessing that Victor had also mutated, otherwise as Susan's admirer, he would never even answer the goddess's call.
"It seems that we have all won the bid. This is simply a miracle of genetics." Reed activated his scientist attribute, stood up from the sofa and turned around, whispering: "What kind of genetic mutation can cause this?"
Strange phenomenon? No, I must go. If I can solve this mystery, genes will have no secrets in my eyes."
From surprise to calmness, from calmness to exploring science, Reed quickly entered the state.
A man walked out of the door shaking his head, and Reid quickly disappeared into the night, apparently going back to the laboratory to seek answers.
"Good night, I'm going back too.
The stone man also stood up, sighed and walked outside: "Hey, I hope my wife won't dislike this look."
As soon as Reed and the Stone Man left, Wu Ming, Susan, and Johnny were left in the room.
Johnny held a small flame in his hand and was admiring the flames attentively.
Susan turned her head and glanced at her brother. His proud figure was nestled on the sofa, making people want to go up and kiss him.
"Have a good rest, and remember to call me if you need anything." Wu Ming looked away, with no intention of staying.
After leaving Susan's house, Wu Ming didn't go anywhere and returned home to have a good sleep.
There was no talking all night, and nothing special happened in the next few days.
Reed is busy researching genetic issues, Victor disappears mysteriously, Johnny is busy picking up girls all day long, Stone Man is saving the family crisis, everyone is very busy.
The world is peaceful, life is beautiful, and we are all happy.
However, Tony, who was tired of peace, wanted to find something to do, so he decided to announce his identity to the outside world.
"Iron Man is me, I am Iron Man...Tony Stark."
Looking at the newspaper's front page headlines, Wu Ming knew that Tony had done another beautiful thing.
Ever since Stark Industries announced that it would abandon the arms market, the company's stock has been falling.
When people who are not smart read this newspaper, they will think that Tony is trying to show off again. To put it simply, he is just showing off.
Smart people will understand that this is a strategy, just like a record company packaging stars, Tony is promoting himself.
"Sir, Stark Industries' stock has experienced a strong rebound. Just this morning, your net worth has increased by 60 billion, and your partner, Mr. Tony, has conservatively estimated to have made 100 billion US dollars." Assistant.
He walked in with the report and reported the good news to Wu Ming.
Upon hearing the news, Wu Ming nodded silently.
Obviously, Tony's strategy was successful, and investors' confidence in Stark Industries surged because of Iron Man's identity.
Just a simple press conference and Tony's words "I am Iron Man" easily reversed the stock market downturn. It must be said that Tony is really a genius. Such business packaging methods are enough to be written into textbooks and become a model of capital operation.
"Just by revealing his identity, he made hundreds of billions of dollars out of the stock market and made a big splash. This Tony is equivalent to winning back a consortium-level company with just one sentence. Hum, but there are pros and cons. Overlord-level
The person in charge of the consortium is actually a superhero, I'm afraid some people will be upset." Everything has two sides, and Tony's disclosure of his identity will certainly not be an exception.
The benefits are obvious. Tony made a lot of money from the stock market, which greatly improved the cohesion of Stark Industries.
Of course, there are many disadvantages. The military cannot tolerate such a dark technology like steel armor being in the hands of private consortiums.
Although everyone believes that the consortium controls the United States, there is a prerequisite for this.
The U.S. military is relatively independent and has its own internal system.
The consortium controls Congress and funds, but the military's demands cannot be ignored. Even if Tony is the helm of a hegemonic consortium, he cannot suppress the military's voice.
"Man, I'm in trouble!"
A fiery red battle armor suddenly landed from the sky and stopped in Wu Ming's back garden.
In the back garden, Wu Ming was drinking morning tea and enjoying his free time to relax.
Seeing Tony driving the steel armor, he put down the coffee in his hand, pointed to the beach chair next to him, and said, "I guessed you would come, but I didn't expect you to come so soon."
"I'm unhappy. I held a press conference yesterday afternoon and I was harassed all night. You don't know how many giants made harassing calls to me and how many people threatened me in one night!" Tony said,
While taking off his steel armor, he sat next to Wu Ming.
Wu Ming smiled slightly and didn't care. Tony dared to reveal his identity, so it was impossible that he had not thought of these problems.
He was just thinking about what conditions the military would require to allow Tony, a lazy man, to come to him early in the morning.
"The price the military wants is very high?" Wu Ming spoke at the right time and asked Tony.
Tony nodded silently, patted his armor, and whispered: "They want me to make a price list, just like selling arms. I will sell the armor to the military at any price."
The U.S. military is very rich, but this money does not come from strong winds.
The other party can tell the price and open it at will, which shows that they are determined to win the armor and show a tough attitude.
"The military is a behemoth, I think you must have refused!" Wu Ming answered affirmatively, because he knew this guy very well.
Tony's announcement that Stark Industries would completely abandon the arms field was something that offended the military.
Judging from this guy's ethics, he will never give up on the field of arms and then sell more powerful steel armor to the military for use.
In this way, the relationship between Tony, Stark Industries, and the military will drop to a freezing point and reach a very dangerous state.
"Yes, I refused, and then General Druk said, telling me to be careful in the future."
After Tony said this, he suddenly laughed again and whispered: "After General Druk called, General Ross called again and asked me if I had any plans to share the manufacturing process with the military. If so,
He will convince General Druk, otherwise he will just sit back and watch."
General Druk is a black man, a four-star general in the United States Homeland Command, and a giant in the military.
As for General Ross, Wu Ming is even more familiar with him. He is the father-in-law of Hulk Banner, the famous General Thunderbolt, and the future Red Giant.
Currently, General Ross is presiding over Project Gamma. In a few years, he will transfer from the military to Congress and become Secretary of State to join the U.S. decision-making hierarchy.
Therefore, whether it is General Druk or General Ross, they represent the attitude of the military.
If one thing is not handled well, the military may do anything to obtain the steel armor technology.
"What are you going to do?" After thinking for a moment, Wu Ming asked in a deep voice.
Tony sat upright in his chair, the joking and disrespectful look on his face disappeared, and he said solemnly: "I will never allow the steel armor to be used as a weapon of war. Therefore, I will contact my friends in the parliament to put pressure on the military, and
My bottom line is that I can hand over a steel armor without handing over the design drawings, and I guarantee that the steel armor will not be leaked."
The core of the steel armor is actually not the armor itself, but the arc reactor.
Without the arc reactor to provide energy, the steel armor is just scrap metal. Currently, there is no known energy source that can replace the arc reactor as an energy source.
Wu Ming briefly thought about it and realized that Stark in the movie gave the steel armor to his friend in the military, the black Major Rhodes.
Obviously, that was the result of Tony's compromise with the military. After the military obtained the armor, it did not equip the army on a large scale. From this, it can be seen that the steel armor was not completely deciphered after it was in the hands of the military.
Even the military is helpless with the arc reactor, a black technology.
"What do you need me to do?" Tony's method worked, so Wu Ming asked directly why Tony came to him.
Everyone was acquaintances, and Tony himself did not pretend to be mysterious, so he said: "When I was making the armor, there were some people who served as my assistants. I need you to erase their memories. Then, I would like to ask you to take charge of the company.
Headquarters, I'm afraid that the military will make some small moves and cause something that will make everyone unhappy."
As the company's second shareholder, the stability of Stark Industries is what Wu Ming wants to see.
After thinking for a while, Wu Ming nodded and affirmed: "Leave it to me..."
