Chapter 172 Becoming Howard's Assistant
"Ladies and gentlemen, what if I told you that in just a few short years, your car would never have to touch the ground again..."

Howard, with a sexy moustache, stood on the exhibition stand and said slowly in a steady tone.

In the audience, a large number of curious spectators gathered, including Rogers and Bucky.

Roger was also there at this time.

It's just that, unlike Bucky and others gathered in front of the stage, he was standing in the distance right now, with his right arm around Jenny's waist, answering Jenny's questions casually.

Jennifer is a typical white American, with blonde hair and blue eyes, and a proud bust.

What is more eye-catching is her graceful waist and the seductive curve that gradually protrudes from her waist.

Jennifer, who just turned 20 this year, was going to the expo with her boyfriend who had just enlisted in the military, just as Bucky took Rogers on a double date before enlisting to bid farewell to her daily life.

This was Jennifer's normal schedule tonight, but after she and her boyfriend met Roger, the situation changed.

After just a few minutes of passionate communication, Jenny's boyfriend tonight became Roger.

While Roger was answering Jennifer's curious inquiry, he was observing Howard and Rogers.

Seeing that Rogers handed out snacks to his female partner in front of him as if licking a dog, only to receive a disdainful look, Roger sighed slightly.

Who would have thought that in the future, Captain America, who could cause a global sensation with a single photo, would have such a silly moment.

Bang!
Just when Roger was lamenting Rogers' pitiful treatment at this time, the anti-gravity car on the exhibition stand fell with a bang.

"I just said that it will be a few years, right?" Howard continued with undiminished grace.

The failure of the anti-gravity car did not affect the applause he received with the anti-gravity car.

Even Jennifer, who was hugged by Roger with her slender waist, also gave her applause.

Roger didn't applaud.

Not to mention that the anti-gravity car Howard is showing is not even a prototype, even if Howard really made an anti-gravity car, he would not be surprised.

The reason is very simple. In the different space inside his body, there are several suspended cars produced by Xandar Star.

Although from his point of view, Howard's anti-gravity car still has a long way to go, but it has to be admitted that in this era when ordinary cars have not yet been fully popularized, Howard's design concept has surpassed the times by hundreds of years .

As expected of a top scientist who has been dead for more than 20 years and can still teach Tony!
If the times hadn't restricted Howard, his achievements might not have been lower than Tony's.

After watching Howard leave the exhibition stand with a little regret, Roger patted Jennifer's firm and elastic buttocks, and said silently: "Wait here for me, I'll buy you some snacks."

After finishing speaking, he ignored the blushing Jenny and walked straight to the backstage of the exhibition stand.

The backstage of the booth was closed to visitors, but that wasn't a problem for Roger.

It didn't take long before he saw Howard in the background.

"Hi, my name is Roger!"

Roger came to Howard and introduced himself.

"Sorry, do we know each other?" Howard replied with a frown.

"Of course, we've known each other for three seconds now."

Roger knew exactly how to deal with a man like Howard.

In other words, he knew exactly how to deal with playboy geniuses.

In this regard, Tony provided him with a lot of experience.

"Hi, I've known Roger for five seconds."

Sure enough, Howard accepted Roger's current speaking style very much.

"You're here for the anti-gravity car?" Howard continued.

"To be precise, I'm here for you."

While speaking, Roger took out two small balls the size of eggs from his pocket.

These two small black balls are somewhat similar to Wakanda's Chimoyu beads.

But these two black balls are not from Wakanda, but from Xandar.

"It's me getting some gadgets by accident, you can think of them as anti-gravity baseballs."

As soon as he finished speaking, the black ball in his palm slowly floated up and made a circular motion around Howard.

…………

Things are going even better than Roger imagined.

When he took out the anti-gravity baseball produced by Xandar, Howard was immediately attracted.

More than ten minutes later, he sat with Howard in a bar outside the expo.

Beside them are their respective female companions tonight.

Although Roger is not a professional scientific researcher, relying on his knowledge far beyond this era and the top scientific and technological knowledge he obtained on Xandar and Wakanda, the scientific research discussions between him and Howard went very smoothly.

With the deepening of the conversation and the influence of alcohol, the relationship between him and Howard quickly developed, and even made the female companions around them feel a little dissatisfied.

The next day, Roger wakes up in Howard's mansion.

Of course, he wakes up in a guest room in Howard's mansion.

It was not Howard who was lying next to him, but the female companion Jennifer who just met last night.

Last night, he drank with Howard in the bar until the early hours of the morning, and then Howard invited him to his home, and the two drank in the wine cellar until the sky was dark.

After he handed Howard, who was unconscious after drinking, to the housekeeper Jarvis, he came to the guest room arranged by Jarvis.

Looking at Jennifer, who is still in a deep sleep, Roger began to like this era more and more.

…………

A few days later, in Howard's laboratory.

"Isn't it better to speed up the speed and stabilize the power of the energy passing through the plasma pipeline?"

After reading the research data and design drawings given by Howard, Roger gave his own suggestions.

In order to keep up with Howard, a genius inventor, Roger has made up his own scientific and technological knowledge in the past few days, and by the way used Xandar's scientific and technological information to cheat a little.

"The line pipeline can't bear the doubled speed, the temperature is too high, and the whole line will be burned directly."

Howard frowned.

"Abandon the traditional air cooling and try using water cooling?"

"Water cooling?"

When Howard looked at himself suspiciously, Roger realized that he was not in the original era.

"Uh...it is to use liquid to absorb heat and obtain higher cooling efficiency than air cooling."

Roger roughly explained what water cooling is.

"Why didn't I think of this, Roger, you really are my biggest gain during this time!"

For people like Howard, it doesn't take much to give them too much specific advice.

What they need is often an inspiration, or a hint.

And this is exactly what Roger, an "amateur", is best at.

At the beginning, he gained Tony's approval by providing Tony with inspiration for the design of the steel suit that originally belonged to Tony.

Now, it's just changing the target of "fudge" from Tony to Howard.

After successfully establishing contact with Howard, Roger finally appeared in the sight of the Strategic Science Corps.

It's just that unlike Howard, the chief technical expert, the Strategic Science Corps' evaluation of him is only Howard's assistant.

Yes, Howard's assistant.

For this point, he does not have any big opinions.

He didn't come here to be a technician, as long as he could appear in the sight of the Strategic Science Corps and have a reliable identity background.

As for showing force, that is something that needs to be done later.

Although up to now, he has only been to the laboratory of the Strategic Science Corps once, but this is completely enough for him.

There, he saw the instrument that turned Rogers from a weak chicken into a macho, and he also successfully met Dr. Abraham Erskine and Peggy Carter there.

As for Colonel Phillips, the current chief officer of the Strategic Science Corps, this is not a problem.

If he guessed right, the Strategic Science Corps should be intensively investigating his background by now, investigating whether he is a Hydra or a German spy.

Roger didn't intend to fake his background, but he didn't intend to expose his origins either.

He doesn't care how the Strategic Science Corps investigates, anyway, he doesn't intend to take the initiative to expose his origins.

As for whether the Strategic Science Corps would be wary of him because of this, he didn't care at all.

When the Strategic Science Corps is beaten by Hydra, they will naturally desire all power.

As the days passed, Howard's human augmentation device for Dr. Abraham Erskine was getting closer and closer to completion.

When Roger helped Howard improve one of the small problems again, Howard, who was checking the operating data, turned his head and glanced at him, and said slowly: "Agent Carter is an English rose with thorns, you can't pick it off."

"It's just that you can't take it off. Is it obvious to me?" Roger asked back.

"It's more than obvious, you almost wrote the words you want to eat her on your face."

Howard gave him a blank look.

"It's not a bad thing to be proactive at all, as far as I know, the last time someone asked her to dinner, she ended up eating cheese and bread."

The person Roger was talking about was none other than Howard.

As a normal man with money, good looks and not low IQ, Howard would of course be interested in Peggy Carter.

However, his results were not much better than Roger's.

At least he has clearly failed, and Roger hasn't made a formal move yet.

This is similar to the confession when you are in love. As long as you don't confess, you will never be rejected.

"That's better than someone who doesn't even dare to invite you!" Howard replied dissatisfied.

"You are wrong. Although I am not as good as you in inventing things, but when it comes to establishing super-friendships with women, I am a little better than you."

Just when Howard was about to continue to refute Roger, Peggy Carter, who was in military uniform, came down from the control room and gave them both a slightly dissatisfied look.

In the Strategic Science Corps, only Howard and Roger dared to make fun of her openly.

More importantly, she heard from some people that Roger and Howard seemed to be taking her as a challenge target.

During this time, there were three men she had contacted the most.

Howard and Roger are two of them.

As for the last one, it is the little Rogers who is being tested in the barracks.

"How are you doing?"

After coming to the side of Roger and the two, Carter said slowly.

"It should be completely finished tomorrow. Agent Carter, if you are not in a hurry to return to the barracks, we can go to Manhattan to enjoy cheese fondue."

Howard once again extended an invitation to Carter.

"Let's talk about it after the experiment is completely over!"

After speaking, Agent Carter left the lab without looking back.

When Carter's alluring back completely disappeared from the laboratory, Roger said slowly: "Your results are getting worse and worse, and even the invitations have begun to fail."

…………

After another wait, it was finally time for official testing of Dr. Abraham Erskine's super-soldier project.

On this day, Colonel Phillips, the chief officer of the Strategic Science Corps, and a large group of government officials came to the laboratory.

After so many days away, Roger finally saw the little Rogers again.

Although it's been a while, Rodgers still doesn't look like he's changed.

After seeing Rogers take off his shirt, Senator Brand in the control room couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"My God, give that kid something to eat!"

Rogers was originally thin and small, and after taking off his shirt, he revealed his thin body like ribs.

Watching him slowly lie down into the enhanced activation device that obviously didn't fit his body shape, Roger said to Howard beside him: "Do you think the experiment can be successful?"

"The instrument is definitely fine. I have checked it with you so many times."

"But whether the experiment can be successful or not has little to do with the equipment, it mainly depends on Dr. Erskine's serum."

"Speaking of which, except for Dr. Erskine, no one knows how these serums are produced, and they don't even have the most basic production data and information."

"This is not the process that a normal biochemical enhancement experiment should have!"

Howard's rank in the Strategic Science Corps is not low, but his high rank is limited to scientific and technological logistics support.

For the highest level existence of super soldier serum, he has no access to useful information at all.

"Would you like to take a gamble?" Roger said.

"What are you gambling?"

"Just bet on whether the experiment will succeed, and whoever loses will be the opponent's wingman!"

After a few seconds of silence, Howard said slowly: "Yes, I bet the experiment will fail."

"It's not that I don't trust Dr. Erskine, it's just that I'm not very confident in this kind of experiment that starts human testing without any testing."

"Even the most basic drug experiments should start from small mice, let alone experiments related to human enhancement."

Howard made a judgment from the perspective of a scientist.

"Then I can only bet that the experiment was successful. Don't you think this guy named Rogers looks like a little white mouse?"

Hearing this, Howard snorted disdainfully.

At this moment, Dr. Abraham Erskine picked up the microphone and began his routine speech before the experiment.

　PS: Thank you, Mr. Huang, for giving a reward that is incompatible with gambling and drugs, thank you for your support~~
