Sentinel

Chapter 405 The Outline of the Future

In Stark's villa facing the sea, Tony is lying on a bench, with a Perrier-Jouët dry champagne on the table at hand. The night wind blows gently, accompanied by the sound of waves hitting the cliffs, creating a quiet and soothing atmosphere.

Pepper in a simple black dress stepped on high heels and opened the transparent glass curtain wall. The refreshing night breeze refreshed her spirits. This shrewd and capable female secretary flicked her blown hair and looked at Tony with soft eyes.

"Today you should be present at the exhibit of Krause Technology Company. The young and promising boss, Darren Krause even asked me about you."

Pepper bent down, poured himself a glass of champagne, took a sip, and asked softly: "Is there anything memorable? Let you sit here alone, and specially opened a good wine."

"Please tell the young boss of Claus Technology Company, thank him for his concern, but I am not interested in men."

Tony did not change his past vicious tongue. He looked at the Perrier-Jouët on the table. The reason why he loves this champagne is very simple. It is purely because he appreciates the exquisite patterns of white anemones and golden rose vines carved on the bottle. The design can be called a masterpiece in the world, which is unforgettable.

Emile Grey, a skilled glass maker, won the appreciation of Tony himself. He described this champagne as having a rich aroma, a soft taste, and the design of top artists, making it unparalleled inside and outside, like a champagne. The young woman in the Palace of Versailles makes people intoxicated by her beauty and purity.

If Sean was here, he would probably be able to understand that the prodigal son turned playboy, with a long description with awkward words, the essence is nothing more than wanting to show off his taste in fine wine, just like appreciating beautiful women. Unusual elegance.

"If you have to say something good..." Tony pondered for a moment, stood up and put his arms around Pepper's waist, and said softly, "Today is the fifth anniversary of our relationship."

The female secretary covered her mouth, with a surprised smile on her face, and a hazy mist in her eyes, she was obviously moved.

Although Tony is the number one playboy in New York, he has wandered around the flowers for many years, has impressive achievements and is well-known, but after officially confirming his relationship with Pepper, he rarely makes such romantic moves.

Generally speaking, if your boyfriend is a superhero, you have to accept that he will be late for candlelight dinners, accidentally forget your anniversary, or even be prepared to be kidnapped and hijacked.

Even if Tony Stark is not, strictly speaking, an enthusiastic superhero who sees a neighbor's kitten jumping up a tree or a bank being robbed, he puts on steel armor and actively solves the problem.

In his eyes, that was something the police had to deal with, and what Iron Man had to deal with was a more earth-shattering and huge crisis, rather than being a kind neighbor or a nanny for New York citizens.

Even so, Pepper often wakes up at night and finds that Tony has gone to the workshop, playing with those steel armors, or is troubled by nightmares, suffers from anxiety, and even does not know when a missile will fly over, Blow up your own home to the sky...

To sum up, as a girlfriend of a superhero, at least one must have good stress resistance and a big heart.

"Dr. Wilson said that I don't need to go to psychotherapy in the future. He thinks my anxiety is gone."

Tony hugged Pepper, who worked hard for him and took care of the company, a rare smile appeared on his increasingly mature face.

Sean used to say that he left Tony Stark's soul in a dank cave in Afghanistan, and that all he got back in New York was Iron Man, a poor guy who didn't feel safe and needed armor to protect him at all times.

Stark didn't like this sentence, because it was right, like a ray of light piercing through all his disguises, clearly reflecting his true heart.

"Ultron healed me, it gave me enough sense of security."

Tony let go of his hand. After the Ultron program was launched, he got rid of the anxiety that had enveloped him for a long time. He believed that a perfect artificial intelligence would make the world a better place.

"Susan kept complaining to me, saying that Reed only had work in his eyes. He just finished the development of Ultron and went to Chicago again. He didn't care about her feelings at all."

Pepper changed the topic at the right time. She didn't want to talk about work and affect the relaxed atmosphere of this moment.

"Reed... he is a perfect assistant, especially when he is involved in scientific research, but in other respects..."

Tony shrugged. Even he would be ashamed of Mister Fantastic's enthusiasm for work.

"However, the space base project promoted by S.H.I.E.L.D. is indeed enough to attract any scientist in the world, just like the Manhattan Project."

The Manhattan Project led by the United States in the last century concentrated the best scientists in Western countries at that time. As one of the leaders, Robert Oppenheimer, later known as the "father of the atomic bomb", won a high reputation. Also considered a giant in the field of physics.

Every scholar with enthusiasm and pursuit of science will not refuse to join this great plan that will leave a strong mark in human history.

Even if it was Tony himself, if the Ultron program still had to keep a close eye on it, he might be the first volunteer to take the initiative to participate.

"Then you asked Stark Industries to actively acquire or hold shares in some large enterprises. Why?"

Although Pepper didn't want to spoil the atmosphere, she still couldn't help asking when thinking of Tony's recent actions in the company's decision-making.

In the past, Tony would never take the initiative to participate in the company's decision-making. It was only later that Stark Industries began to transform. This top genius with a bright mind gradually learned to share some pressure for Pepper.

"The times are different. I saw the changes that the world is going through in advance, an unprecedented violent turmoil... so I have to prepare in advance."

Confidence gleams in Tony's eyes. He has always been a smart person, so he is often the first to predict changes in the situation.

"If you have paid close attention to Umbrella, you will find that this scientific research institution, hailed by the media as the 'cradle of science and technology that changed the history of mankind', has already started massive mergers and acquisitions, and it is much more savage than us."

"I didn't notice this. I only know that Umbrella's financial statements are very beautiful, which makes many investors want to send money to Sean with both hands."

With an infatuated look on Pepper's face, he stroked Tony's cheek. The most charming charm of a genius is self-confidence, and the men of the Stark family never lack this.

"The World Security Council has passed the nine star field strategic defense plan, ready to start the development of the moon... Do you know what this means? A new era of interstellar colonization and space migration is coming."

Tony took a deep breath. Even with his pride, he couldn't help admiring Sean for pushing the whole world up with his own power.

"At that time, the concept between countries will become more and more blurred, and people will be more enthusiastic about developing the planet, just like the adventurers in the age of great navigation, hoping to get gold treasures from it... Whether it is military business or new energy, Si Tucker Industries all rely on the power of the government, but after human beings step into the stars and seas, they will change from individuals to collectives."

"So, like Umbrella, we have to become a huge collection of interests, a monopoly organization similar to a trust, so that we can remain invincible."

Tony looked at the boundless night sky, so he wanted to develop the Ultron program, a perfect artificial intelligence that would not be outdated even after humans entered the interstellar age.

On the contrary, the influence that Ultra can exert will be even greater, which is the cornerstone of Stark Industries' standing, and the acquisition or holding of some large enterprises, especially those with core technologies such as Claus Technology, is a Forming a monopoly interest group is like a big tree making its roots deeper.

"What exactly is Sean trying to do?"

Pepper snuggled into Tony's arms and asked softly.

"Few people can guess his thoughts...Speaking of it, I just found out that Krauss Technology Company used to be called Pym Industries, and that Dr. Hank Pym, a famous biochemist, is said to have died at the age of 30. When I was younger, I discovered a subatomic particle named after myself, which can change the laughter of objects... I still found these in the archives of SHIELD."

Tony seemed to remember something, he didn't know the entanglement between Hank Pym and his father, he was just simply surprised.

Part of the reason why Stark Industries put Claus Technology at the forefront of the cooperation list is to obtain the cutting-edge technology of Pym particles.

There is no shortage of smart people in this world, but there are still not many geniuses like Dr. Pym.

Tony has paid special attention to the other party's information, has a Ph.D. in the field of biochemistry, and has also made remarkable achievements in quantum physics, artificial intelligence, and entomology.

"I knew I should have Dr. Pym join me in the development of the Ultron program."

He looked at Pepper with a sweet face, and said in a joking tone.
