Chapter 15
The next morning, the inspection team of the Ministry of National Defense came to Osborne Industry together. The head of the VIP was General Suo, who seemed to turn a blind eye to Norman Osborn's warm greeting, and indifferently proposed to go directly to the research room , Check the progress and situation of the human body enhancement medicine.

The team sent by the Ministry of National Defense swarmed into the research room under the leadership of General Suo, followed by Norman. He vaguely realized that something seemed wrong, but he didn't think about it for a while.

Walking into the door of the research room, the chief scientist in white uniform introduced the new aircraft to the Ministry of Defense team. This is also a research project conducted by Osborne Industries, and the former Ministry of Defense procurement team expressed interest in it.

"...This is the first-generation prototype. The material is made of brand-new alloys. It is equipped with a gravity sensing system, which can perfectly solve the key problems of air flight and balance. It can bear about one ton and fly at a speed of nearly 500 miles per hour. It has remote control equipment, can carry 600 miniature air-to-surface missiles, a miniature machine gun and [-] rounds of ammunition, and the cost of construction is about [-] million U.S. dollars..."

The chief scientist pointed to an aircraft floating in mid-air and introduced it. It was shaped like a big bat with its wings spread, with a dark green metallic glow all over its body. Users could stand on it to operate it. The engine at the tail A green halo of energy was sprayed out, violent wind pressure swelled, and harsh noises were produced at the same time, which almost overwhelmed his commentary voice.

"I don't have any interest in a little toy like this, it's something outdated."

General Suo, the leader of the Ministry of National Defense team, said indifferently. He glanced at the aircraft hovering in the sky, and there was a trace of contempt in his eyes. The high cost and narrow and low-end application range doomed this new aircraft to be unattractive to the military. What they need is a weapon that can be mass-produced and has amazing lethality, not this high-end product that is used to cheat research funds.

Why is that guy Tony Stark loved by the military bosses, because he can always come up with some good things that are worthy of value, and they all have extremely high technical content, and will never be easily outdated.

"General, this new aircraft is the procurement weapon designated by the Ministry of Defense last time..."

Norman stepped forward in time and relieved the embarrassment of the research supervisor, with an eager smile on his face. Although General Suo's attitude was bad, he was not willing to offend this important official of the Ministry of National Defense.

"Needless to say, it, like my predecessor, has been swept into the dustbin of history... You may not know it, that guy was fired for accepting bribes, and I will not make this mistake again."

Norman was shocked when he heard the words. If this is true, it means that all the terms originally negotiated between Osborne Industry and the Ministry of National Defense will be cancelled, and everything will have to start again.

Looking at General Suo with an arrogant look on his face, Norman suddenly felt a little bad. He scanned the research room and found that two directors who usually don't participate in industrial production have also come here. Mr. Ba, who wears glasses And Mr. Fei, who is in a wheelchair, these two are the two major shareholders of the company, backed by the power of Wall Street, they are pure and annoying financial speculators, and they only want to squeeze more profits from Osborne Industries.

"Why did the two of them come?"

He secretly wondered in his heart, but Norman didn't have time to think about it. General Suo was not interested in new aircraft, so he had to quickly hand in a report on the physical enhancement plan. This new procurement officer of the Ministry of National Defense is really more difficult to serve than the previous one.

"We let the mice undergo the vaporization inhalation experiment, and their physical strength increased eight times. This proves that our experiment is in the right direction. As long as we continue to study, we will soon be able to produce the super serum of World War II..."

Norman followed closely beside General Suo, telling him in detail the experimental progress of the human body enhancement drug, while also intentionally ignoring some immature disadvantages.

"Sounds good." General Suo nodded lightly, and asked casually, "Are there any side effects?"

Norman Osborn's expression changed immediately. He looked at the research director standing aside, and this bald old man couldn't bear General Suo's sharp gaze, and told the truth in every detail——

"After receiving the vapor inhalation test, the mice showed obvious violent tendencies and crazy aggressiveness. We must return the whole study to the equation stage, and maybe we can solve this problem."

"General, this is just a small problem, and it won't take long to solve it..."

"That's enough! Mr. Osborne." General Suo coldly interrupted Norman's defense. The procurement officer of the Ministry of Defense sneered: "You just tried to deceive the Ministry of Defense. This is an unforgivable mistake! And this The research results of this research cannot satisfy the military at all. What we need are super soldiers. If you can let me see a 'Captain America' in two weeks, then everything will be fine..."

"Remember, I only give Osborn Industries two weeks. If it doesn't work at that time, I will revoke your research funding and your eligibility to purchase enterprises from the Ministry of Defense."

General Suo condescendingly pronounced the verdict, and then led the inspection team of the Ministry of National Defense away, leaving only Norman Osborne standing there with cold hands and feet. , The heart is cold and desperate. If Osborne Industries cannot become a procurement company of the Ministry of Defense, all the huge funds invested all the time will come to naught. The huge deficit is enough to completely break the company's capital chain.

As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the harder you fall. For this opportunity, Norman Osborn blocked almost everything, and he even borrowed a huge sum of money from the bank. The next phase of the research and development process pays the bill, and no investment can reap the rewards at all costs. The previous operating costs and research funds cannot generate profits. The business kingdom that has been painstakingly established for decades is suddenly in danger of collapse.

Norman Osborn, whose dream was broken, suddenly became fierce in his eyes. He remembered the two directors of the company who left with the Ministry of Defense team, and suddenly seemed to understand something. Maybe General Suo never thought of letting Osborn Industry has become a procurement enterprise of the Ministry of Defense, all this is a well-planned conspiracy!
"No one can take it away from me!" Norman said grimly, he couldn't bear the huge price of losing Osborne Industry.

After driving away everyone in the laboratory, Norman left only the research supervisor behind. After several hours of hesitation and thinking, he made a risky decision.

"Mr. Osborne, this is too risky! Human enhancement drugs have not yet reached the stage of human trials, and your life will be in danger!"

The director of scientific research pulled Norman Osborn, who had lost his calm demeanor. He understood the urgency of the other party, but any research results that want to be applied to the human body must go through repeated experiments and data comparisons.

"I don't have any more time! If I can't get the order from the Ministry of Defense, Osborne Industries will be completely finished!"

Norman broke away from the research director and took off his shirt. He was facing the biggest crisis since the company was founded. If he couldn't get through it, the business empire he built would be reduced to ruins in an instant!
The group of Wall Street bankers will definitely not let go of this great opportunity, and they will pounce on it desperately like hungry wild dogs.

"Give me the catalyst! The experiment must succeed!"

Norman made up his mind. He lay on the experimental instrument, connected to the pipeline for testing signs, and was then sent into a closed circular space. Under the operation of the research supervisor, green gas continuously poured in from the hole, constantly After a while, it filled the entire circular space, like a thick fog drowning the figure of Norman Osborn.

In the empty and unoccupied research room, screams of pain and pain came out, and the vital signs curve on the computer became weaker and weaker with Norman's roar, as if it was gestating in the dense green gas. With a terrible demon!
