1126 If you say I monopolize, then sue me, the gap of ten generations
"Are you kidding me? You will understand in the future." He patted Roddy on the shoulder and said sternly,
"Listen to me, man, just think about the giant before who used golden spears and bronze swords as weapons.
William's drones used fire magic when imitating them.
Since we can fight in close combat at the front, why not use it at the back?"
After saying that, Stark waited for a while, saw a horrified expression on Roddy's face, and asked stammering, "You, you mean, that giant is real?"
Stark did not answer directly, but lowered his helmet, put his legs together, and reminded him again before flying up, "Remember my words,
Otherwise, even if those guys who no one can afford to mess with don't come looking for you, the people inside us who know some big secrets will come looking for you.
Either join them or deny you the opportunity to speak."
With a "whoosh" sound, Stark rushed into the sky and flew towards his beach house.
Although Roddy didn't want to believe it at this time, who was Stark?
Although this playboy was unreliable in many aspects, he was able to remind him so solemnly and repeatedly that it was impossible for Rody not to believe it.
He thought about it for a long time, until his men rushed over and told him.
Lieutenant General Parr from his base came to look for him, and Roddy returned to the headquarters in a state of despair.
When his superiors first suppressed and then praised Roddy, he said a lot about Roddy's mistakes in command, and before he had time to say words of praise,
Rody took the initiative with a sad face and said that he was willing to hand over his command and wait at home to be punished.
Looking at Roddy who just said that he was willing to wait for punishment at home, but did not say that he was willing to take all the responsibilities, he saluted and left,
His boss mentally scolded Roddy for not following the routine, but he could only report it to his superior.
However, although Roddy escaped, his impression in the minds of his superiors and higher-level people was greatly reduced, which made him unlucky until just before Stark's hearing began.
He just resumed his military duties and rushed to Washington with a report related to Stark that he had written when he was idle at home.
When he was taken into the waiting room of the hearing by a captain, he was surprised to see that on the live TV broadcast, not only Stark was there, but even William was sitting in the hearing seat where he was being questioned.
Stark tilted his head in confusion and asked William in a low voice, "In the news these days, there are not many big lawyers and professionals coming forward to say,
Even if you create that God of War and deceive everyone,
But that was not illegal, but because he showed up in time, he saved a city.
And those senior officials who stand up to speak for you, do you need to attend such a boring meeting like me?"
William shrugged, "It's not necessary, but I'm here to attend the premiere of the Martian movie, and by the way, I can answer some questions about the Mars base for the sake of some people."
Stark cursed in his mind why he, an American, was treated differently than William, an Englishman.
But looking at Councilor Straw, who was sitting on the rostrum and greeting William with a smile on his face, he didn't show any dissatisfaction when William just glanced at him and replied.
Stark could only give Straw a helpless look, and then asked William, "Are you really planning to open Mars scientific research?"
William smiled and looked behind him, sitting with Abigail and Pepper.
After this little girl's persuasion, William himself thought about it carefully and felt that opening up all countries to scientific research on Mars would at most lead to a better understanding of the formation of the planet and a deeper understanding of the solar system.
It would not have any impact on him, so he agreed to Abigail's idea of taking the opportunity to make money.
He smiled and said to Stark, "Sending an astronaut to outer space seems to cost at least 20 million US dollars.
Then send people to Mars and provide them with spaceships, more advanced four-type space suits, as well as accommodation, food, medical treatment, and scientific research equipment on Mars.
If I charge each person $100 million a month, it shouldn’t be too expensive, right?”
"God, isn't this expensive? It's ridiculously expensive, right?"
When he thought of the base on Mars that could accommodate thousands of people, Stark felt jealous.
But when William turned his eyes to him, Stark could only say nonchalantly, "One hundred million dollars is expensive, but your base on Mars can accommodate so many people.
There are not many countries that have scarce resources and can afford to spend so much money."
William smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, Abigail plans to organize a three-day trip to the moon and a seven-day trip to Mars.
A total of ten days and a space travel project priced at US$50 million.
If you have special requirements and are willing to pay more, you can send people to Jupiter, Saturn, or even Venus and Mercury, which are closer to the sun."
"You, the space materials in your hand, can solve the problem of the minimum temperature of minus 173 degrees Celsius on the surface of Mercury?"
William really has it in his hand, but he won’t say it out loud, “At worst, we can just use the outer shell of the spacecraft as a hotel.
In this way, the 453-degree high temperature on the surface of Mercury can provide sufficient energy for the spacecraft."
Stark was immediately discouraged, and then asked with bright eyes, "Can I become a shareholder?"
William shrugged, "What do you want to invest in?"
Before he could say the word 'money', Stark's face drooped.
"Dong, dong, dong", several consecutive sounds of wooden hammers hitting the base were heard, and the scene soon became quiet.
Straw, a member of Hydra, looked at William with a smile and said,
"Mr. Devonshire, I invited you here today mainly to ask you about setting up a base on Mars privately."
William nodded, and Straw continued, "Mars and even the entire solar system belong to the entire human race. Do you have any objection?"
William did not deny it and said, "Of course."
Hearing this, the smile on Straw's face suddenly became brighter.
"Since you admit that Mars belongs to all mankind, we ask you to open Mars to all countries. Is that okay?"
"No".
At this time, the audience and reporters at the scene could no longer bear it and began to shout and cheer.
But people like Stella frowned. In their previous expectations, they never thought that William would be so cooperative.
When he was worried, William smiled and said, "You have the ability to go to Mars, and even what you build on Mars is your freedom.
And it’s okay if you want me to help you send people to Mars, but please pay.
The price is not expensive either, one gram costs US$10,000.”
As soon as he said this, the scene immediately turned into a vegetable market.
Most people are calling God while calculating how much money it will cost to send themselves to Mars.
Soon I thought that one kilogram would cost 10 million U.S. dollars, and a 50 kilogram person would cost 500 million U.S. dollars.
And even if the astronaut weighs only 50 kilograms, including space suits, equipment and other things, one person has to be at least 100 kilograms, which is a full billion US dollars.
Up, God.
Everyone was so frightened that their foreheads were sweating, and then their heads became dizzy, thinking how much money would the Mars transportation project alone bring to William every year?
Ten people and ten billion dollars?
When I looked at William's back, I instantly felt that his tall figure suddenly grew infinitely taller.
And Stark, who had just heard William say that it only cost 100 million US dollars to give away and provide any necessities and equipment, suddenly felt that he was really not as good as William.
Before Straw could speak, the person sitting next to him roared, "You are a monopoly."
William laughed and spread his hands, "Then you go and sue me."
f,,k, when I heard this, no matter who was present or watching the live broadcast, I didn’t know what to say.
Let alone sue for this matter, there is no law to support the lawsuit. And even if the Americans succeeded in directing and acting, can they still go to England to arrest people?
If this is the case, William himself will not be able to enter the United States in the future, and the business of Devon Hill Group will not be related to the United States.
But the United States also doesn’t want to enter Mars again.
And Straw, a member of Hydra, didn't want to offend William to death because of this.
After all, their Hydra is not unique to the United States. As long as William is not offended, the American Hydra will not be able to reach Mars. It also has European members.
"Boom, boom, boom".
After banging the wooden hammer more than a dozen times in succession, Straw shouted "Silence, silence" several times, without consulting other members of parliament, he directly announced,
"As for the price of transporting personnel and equipment to Mars, I think we can discuss it in the future.
Our inquiry to Mr. William Devonshire today is only about whether he agrees to disclose Mars to the world and whether he has declared that Mars belongs to him personally.
Other commercial disputes are not within today's agenda."
After speaking, Straw and the congressmen on the left and right made eye contact for a while before asking, "Do you agree?"
Everyone present immediately realized that there was no need to fall out with William now.
Besides, money issues are not within their jurisdiction.
If you use it for others, your assets will double if you offend someone. How can force threaten the people of a country?
"Agree", "Agree", "Agree".
A series of voices of approval came, and the matter was over.
But William clicked on the microphone, attracted everyone's attention, and took the folder from Abigail.
He smiled and said, "Since we talked about Mars, let's talk about the price of staying on Mars and renting the base, equipment, and food I built on Mars.
Even sending people and equipment to other planets in the solar system is not impossible as long as the price is right."
"Wait, wait," Stark quickly interrupted William who was still about to speak, looked at Straw and the others and said, "I think whether it is Venus, Jupiter, or Saturn,
These are not issues we need to consider now.
There is no need to listen to an offer that can scare us or even bring down the financial resources of the United States."
Then Stark didn't wait for Straw and others to answer, turned his head and whispered in William's ear, "Mars's price is not expensive compared to countries doing their own research.
But for ordinary people, they absolutely cannot accept this price.
What makes them even more jealous is that in everyone's eyes, it is so easy for you to make this money.
If they hear a double or even triple price again, do you want tomorrow’s newspapers to be full of news scolding you?”
When William thought about it to himself, it seemed that this money really came too easily.
Shrugging, he returned the folder in his hand to Abigail, looked at Straw and the others who were sweating on their foreheads, and said, "Okay, we'll talk about other things after you can accept Mars' offer."
"No problem, no problem", Straw nodded quickly.
After teasing these American congressmen, William smiled and was about to leave, but was held back by Stark.
"Man, since I helped you once and saved you from being scolded, at least accompany me to the end of the hearing and then treat me to a hologram movie."
William was stunned and asked in confusion, "I heard that this hearing against you is just a formality. Is it necessary to be so nervous?"
Stark smiled and said, "Who knows what will happen in the middle. At least you are here. When it comes to problems with the mecha, I can put some responsibilities on you."
William looked at Stark in surprise, "You are really shameless."
Stark shrugged, "Even if I blame you, Straw doesn't dare to do anything to you."
William smiled helplessly, not surprised that Stark could see something.
After all, Straw is the chief of the hearing, and it is impossible for Stark and the consultants he hired not to collect information about Straw.
Since Straw, who is notoriously difficult to talk to, was so polite to William, there must be some connection that no one knows about.
When Straw saw William half-rising and was about to leave, but was caught by Stark, he secretly thought that he was in trouble.
"Dong, dong, dong" knocked the wooden hammer a few times, smiled at William, then looked at Stark who looked confident and said,
"The second topic today is whether the unregistered weapons manufactured by Mr. Tony Sterk violate US laws and whether they should be subject to US supervision or even handed over to the US government."
"Wait a minute," Stark immediately interrupted Straw, "I must first state that I think my Mark series equipment is a high-tech prosthetic limb, not a weapon as you mentioned."
"Hahaha", there was a burst of laughter at the scene. While Straw was annoyed, he suddenly asked William,
"Mr. Devonshire, do you think Stark's imitation of the armor you first developed is a weapon?"
William was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "First of all, I am 100% sure that Tony did not get any technology from me."
"Thank you, thank you." Amid the exclamations and questions at the scene, Stark excitedly reached out his hand and shook William's hand several times.
William let go of Stark's hand in disgust before continuing, "If you ask me to describe Tony's Mark 4,
I would probably describe it as a toy."
"This, this is impossible", a sound of cold air suddenly appeared on the scene.
Stark said it was a prosthetic leg, and everyone knew this was an excuse, but William said it was a toy.
Not to mention ordinary people in the United States, even the congressmen on the bench cannot accept this statement.
William smiled and shrugged at Stark, who had a frozen expression. "The gold-titanium alloy shell will be fine if it only faces human light weapons or even missiles.
But when dealing with some crises that exceed our understanding, it seems too fragile. I have at least ten weapons that can penetrate it."
"The second-generation cold nuclear reactor is so low-power that my first-generation giant mecha can fight for five minutes."
Listening to William's bragging, Stark's face darkened. At the same time, having controlled a ten-meter mecha, he had to admit that this seemed to be a fact.
And when he heard for the first time that William personally inherited the ten-meter mecha, which was really the first generation mecha, Stark felt helpless.
Then I heard William continue, "The third wear is too primitive and cannot be equipped without the mechanical arm.
It's not as convenient as the armor I equipped for my girlfriend, let alone my own exclusive mecha.
Therefore, I am very happy to see that you are grabbing this kind of mecha that is ten generations behind in my eyes.
To combat the enthusiasm of Tony Stark, the only genius in the world who has the potential to narrow the gap between me and myself."
"Wait, wait," Stark asked unhappily as everyone in the room gasped for air, "do you really think there are ten generations between you and me?"
