Sentinel

Chapter 151
The Grizzlies Club on Fifth Avenue.

When Sean saw General Ross again, this hale and hearty old man, full of fighting spirit, was no longer as strong and majestic as he used to control everything. His left hand was bandaged, and he had a depressed and gloomy expression on his face.

The lit cigar was put aside, and a bottle of strong wine was half drunk, which proved that the general's mood was indeed extremely bad.As a strong-willed soldier, he was reduced to drinking to drown his sorrows.

"I can't help you with S.H.I.E.L.D. That guy, Fury, is more stubborn than me. I've suggested many times that the organization with a huge structure needs to be controlled. They are a group of dangerous elements with no national honor!" Rose grumbled bitterly.

No one in the military likes the gang of black-clothed agents. They all agree that S.H.I.E.L.D. is an uncontrolled time bomb. They have repeatedly asked Nick Fury to hand over part of his power, especially the authority to open the database to the Ministry of Defense. , to ensure homeland security and resource sharing.

It's a pity that the black director didn't even respond positively once, and kept talking about him. In other words, he just ignored the military's proposal.

"General, you can stand up and speak for me. This is already a great help." Sean poured a glass of wine for the other party. Betty was injured and hospitalized, so I just wanted to come and visit her."

General Ross's expression eased a little, and he was no longer so serious. It is rare that the young man in front of him is not a villain who is trying to follow suit, "I want to speed up the progress of the experiment. Because I want to hide the real purpose of this project from Banner, I only let him Participating in the initial work, he didn't even involve in the application of weapons, he thought he was doing research on radiation resistance."

"But he was too self-confident, and he didn't even hesitate to use himself as an experiment. As a result, a major accident happened. But from another perspective, my original goal has also been achieved... You haven't seen that beast, almost Perfect creation, unrivaled, powerful and ferocious, stronger than super soldiers!"

The old man took a sip of the spirits, with a hint of fanaticism in his eyes, he couldn't forget the powerful sense of oppression brought by that giant green beast, even a hundred elite fighters couldn't compare to its terrifying destructive power.

"In my opinion, Banner's body should be completely owned by the U.S. military, but he escaped. Even though I launched a hunt, he still ran away!"

General Ross slammed his cup on the table with anger in his voice. The failure of this plan had a great impact on him, especially when many people accused and claimed that super soldiers are outdated antiques, and we should focus on Tony Stark's Iron Armor.

The old man scoffed at this. The cost of a piece of steel armor is tens of millions of dollars. If it is equipped with a full range of firepower weapons, coupled with energy drives and artificial intelligence, it can easily reach an expensive cost of hundreds of millions. Can afford such a flashy, sky-high price toy?

"Which weapon kills the most people in the world?" General Ross patted Sean on the shoulder and said vaguely: "The single weapon that kills people is the AK47 assault rifle, which has killed millions of people in the 60 years since its birth. "

Sean nodded. Of course he knew this famous weapon with the coins of the former Soviet Union, the national flag of Mozambique and the national emblem of Zimbabwe.There is even such a saying that its black market price is used internationally as a criterion for judging the degree of turmoil in a country-in areas with relatively stable society, the price of AK47 is about 230 to 400 US dollars; if the price is as low as 100 US dollars Left and right, this may indicate that the state of conflict in the region has suddenly ceased.If the price of an AK47 rises above $1000, it would be a sign that the conflict in the region is long and protracted and ongoing.

In the 70s, there was a widely circulated saying: The United States exported Coca-Cola, Japan exported Sony Electric, and the Soviet Union exported AK47.It is the most popular automatic rifle in the world and the favorite weapon of soldiers.It won't break, jam, overheat, and even if it's covered in mud or sand, it will still fire just fine.And the method of use is simple, even a child can get started quickly.

"In my opinion, the best weapon should be like the AK47, which can be used by people all over the world. The ultimate goal of super soldiers is to create an unrivaled elite army. Stark's steel armor, flashy It's just a toy."

General Ross sneered. He didn't like that Iron Man at all. He turned his bandaged arm to the side and sighed: "If our soldiers become like Captain America, with amazing physical fitness and incomparably strong physique , like a Spartan warrior, never afraid, full of fighting spirit..."

The bottom of his heart was always thinking about Banner who had escaped, to be precise, it was the mighty green monster, but it was a pity that the other party escaped the military's relentless pursuit and disappeared without a trace.

"General, I have brought you a new weapon. Compared with the expensive steel machine, its cost is completely worthless, and it can be put into production immediately."

Sean looked at General Ross, who was drunk, with his palms spread out, and a warm and shiny top lay quietly in his palms. As expected, Ivan Vanke did not disappoint him, and soon copied the Ark reactor.

"The energy core of the steel armor?"

The military has been keeping a close eye on the steel armor in Tony Stark's hand, so General Ross recognized the gleaming gadget at a glance.

The most difficult problem in replicating steel armor lies in the power source. If you want to reduce the nuclear power reactor that outputs huge energy to the size of your palm, it is difficult to do so at present. The lack of strong technical support makes it impossible for the military to overcome it. This difficulty.

"I think the general's opinion is very reasonable. To be honest, can a war machine costing hundreds of millions of dollars really become a new type of cutting-edge weapon that is vigorously promoted? Or does the military have the courage to burn money like Tony?"

Sean played with the replica of the Ark reactor. The generals of the Ministry of National Defense pursued steel armor technology. In his opinion, the gain outweighed the loss. Even though Tony had given his friend Colonel Rhodes a set of war machines, no one could imitate it. Weiss' artificial intelligence system, even if there is an entire steel elite army, it is difficult to put it into a large-scale battle.

"It is the development trend of weapons in the new era. How long has it been since we evolved from cold weapons to hot weapons? Now, this little thing can instantly change the form of warfare from a duel of hot weapons to an energy-based one." dispute."

Sean stared at General Ross with piercing eyes. He knew that the military has been vigorously developing the application of energy weapons, but the problems of energy consumption and miniaturization have not been solved, which means that the energyization of weapons can only stay at the conceptual level. Considered to be an ethereal and illusory design idea.

"Can you give a new weapon that satisfies the military?" General Ross's brain, which had been paralyzed by alcohol, became sober in an instant.

He realizes that this is an opportunity to salvage his image and authority in the Ministry of Defense and screw up the super-soldier replication plan, but the new energy weapon sounds good too.

"Of course, I found a weapon manufacturing expert who is not much better than Tony Stark." Sean smiled back, his tone full of confidence.

The Ark reactor that no one can imitate within 20 years?Hopefully Tony won't feel too embarrassed next time we meet.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, the young man picked up a glass of spirits on the table and clinked glasses with the excited General Ross. The ice cubes hit the glass, making a crisp sound.

"God Bless America!"

Hearing the old man's impassioned words, Sean smiled lightly and remained silent.
